LILITH’S POV My life seemed to have upended, I sat in my lair and slowly watched, watched how everything came crashing down. I stayed low and watched how everything that i had built with my blood, sweat, and tears came tumbling down.And the realisation that I had failed my own people attacked me, such force that held me captive.The blood curling screams and painful grunts always found its way to my ear every darned time, reminding me how much I had failed. But I wasn’t going to just sit here and watch my life crumble like this, I was going to fight.And fight I would. But first, I needed to keep my shadow safe, keep it safe because fucking Lyra would have known.Known that the only way she could kill me was by trapping my shadow first, and if at all I was going to go down, I had to do that with a fight.“So, what do you suggest?” My shadow asked, a huge smile plastered across her face as she stared right back at me.“I suggest we fight” I whispered slowly, gently rubbing my templ

TANESHA’S POV I could taste the blood in the air, blood wrenching cries polluting the already still air, several screams and cries cutting across each other.The fight had lasted for two nights, and three mornings to be precise, blood flew freely across the fields, several bodies sprawled across the field.“Come Tanesha, we don’t have business here. This part of the field belongs to the werewolves” Mother called gently, her dark gown billowing against her as we made our way to where our kind stood, their black cloaks forming a dark cloud as they waited patiently for us, their dark eyes ripping through mine.“She isn’t one of ours” a brawny witch hissed, her dark orbs shooting daggers at me.“She is our only path to salvation” Mother replied, her slender finger wrapping my bicep protectively.“The resistance would be here soon. All you need to do is stand by us no matter what. It is an order Tanesha” mother gritted harshly, her smooth voice made my heart swell with pride.“Sure mom”

BRIAN’S POV Fucking hell yes, finally I could taste the victory on my tongue, I could smell it, I could feel the power running through my veins in torrent. If this is what Victory finally felt like, then I was thrilled with it.“What do you think Lilith would do with this one” Andrea spat bitterly, tipping her head towards a worn-out verity. “Finish her off, I guess” I muttered through gritted teeth, her sunken eyes casting a lazy glare at me, all I wanted to do was shove her fucking tongue into her mouth, and make her choke on the darned thing.“And she?” she asked again, her broody orbs taking in Emma’s unconscious form, her facial features too relaxed for her own good.“I have no idea” I muttered slowly, rubbing my chest slowly to fucking calm my raging heart, I wasn’t supposed to feel this way.“We are home” Andrea muttered slowly as the horde ball made a descent towards the fields, a great feast already setting in motion as people hurriedly came to welcome us, their mouths pl

EMMA’S POV I felt half of my memory freeze, no matter how hard I had tried to remember the last event that had happened, I couldn’t. I couldn’t feel, couldn’t see, and worse Lyra and Caspian weren’t here, I remember pulling them through the portal, I remember following them closely behind, remember the argument I had with Lyra in the portal I could still feel her harsh voice ringing aggressively in my ear, before that crazy sound tore into us, separating us.“Welcome home” A sultry voice called out, several pair of orbs staring right back at me immediately I had tumbled into my own house.Only that my house didn’t look like it belonged to me any longer, like I was the stranger in my own home.Like I was the outsider looking in.“Stay back Emma” Lucien growled, making his way to my front, protecting me.“I assured you to hold onto your sanity a little while longer, didn’t I?” Mordecai cackled, her masked face crinkling up to show a wide smile. She was sitting on my damn couch, and

LILITH’S POV I knew the moment I stepped out with Luke, the crazy dimwit would start their little coup, planning how to send the qián jīn yuán to Greisha, what they didn’t know was that along with Greisha’s death came their own downfall.That was just how life worked, I couldn’t forgive betrayal, and they had betrayed me one too many times, and once I finally found a way to cut the string that bound me to Verity, I was going to cut her off.I couldn’t stand the stench of traitors, they irked me, I mean If you wanted to be bad, you had to remain bad to the very fucking end.This wasn’t a Gatsby story where one had a change of mind, and suddenly realised that they wanted to do good things. No, this was fucking real life.“Luke” I spat bitterly, not missing the slight look of fear that flitted across his face. “Yes ma’am?” He replied, avoiding my gaze at all cost.“Find out where Tyrone is, I am giving you just two days, two days, or I would seal your faith” I sneered lowly, enjo

LUCIEN’S POV I could feel hot coals burning the back of my eye, the people of St. Montero were just so mean. I mean, they had a fire beneath their eyes that scorched one, turning them into fucking grit and rubble.The past forty eight hours that we had spent in here, we had managed to garner a lot of hatred, and I am not even joking, a whole lot.Some had even sent us away with several curses, their eyes snickering with Anger.“How the hell are we going to find Lyra now, they don’t even want to have anything to do with us” Emma whined, her eyebrow scrunched in frustration as she sat helplessly on one of the wooden benches that lay scattered across the meadow that led up to the heart of St. Montero Our haven for now, that is if they’ve not yet sent guards down here. I wondered how someone so sacred in books, was treated like filth or rather a curse was disturbing.The harsh orange sun scorched us blindly as we helplessly gazed far away wasn’t even
