FATED TO BE WITH YOU ย ย ย CHAPTER 57: TERRANOVAE
I gasped, my eyes snapping open as shock coursed through me. My heart raced as I found myself back in Michael's house. The throbbing headache from the nightmare lingered, but I knew this was more than just a bad dream.It was a message.She had told me all those things for a reasonโso I would go to Terranovae. But did Terranovae even exist? A world ruled by demons? What was I even saying? Could I be like them? If what that woman said was true, and Mum was a demon, then I might be one too.Panic clawed at my chest, my thoughts spiraling into chaos. Eric was in danger. Everything she said echoed in my mind, threatening to drown me. But it was her last words that haunted me the most.Could Mum and Dad truly be alive? Had they been held captive all these years?โLily!โA gentle tap on my shoulder jolted me, and I turned sharply, my heart pounding, only to find Michaelโs worried face staring back at me.โYou scared me,โ I muttered, my voice trembling as I struggled to steady my racing hear

โWhat? Lily, are you insane? Thereโs no way Iโm letting you leave!โ Michaelโs voice cracked with panic, his wide eyes brimming with disbelief. The mention of Terranovae sent a visible wave of unease through him, making me wonder if he recognized the name.โIโm sorry, Michael, but Iโm going,โ I said, my tone firm despite the trembling in my chest. โNothing you say will make me change my mind. I canโt just sit here, waiting for her to end his life. I need to warn them about whatโs coming.โMichaelโs jaw tightened, and the lines of his face deepened with worry. โBut why, Lily? Why would you even want to go there?โ His voice softened, but I could still hear the tremor of fear beneath it.โBecause she threatened me, Michael.โ My voice broke slightly, but I pushed on. โShe used Ericโs life to lure me in, andโฆ she said Mom and Dad might still be alive.โ My words hung heavy in the air, and I watched as Michaelโs expression crumbled, shock and pain etching across his face.โWhat?โ His voice wa

Lily's POVHe dragged me to his room, shutting the door behind him with a decisive click as he locked it. Yet, I wasnโt scared. This wasnโt my first encounter with Ericโs dragon side, but the absence of his usual glowing eyes told me that Eric was more present this timeโor at least a part of him was. I just couldnโt understand why his dragon side was fully using Ericโs body while keeping him locked away.Once the door was closed, it took him a moment to face me. When he finally did, his crystal-green eyes were back, their glowing light burning into mine.โWhatโs your deal? Were you pretending to be Eric? Jess and Alex donโt seem to know that somethingโs off about you.โ His words dripped with amusement as he began closing the distance between us, a smirk playing on his lips. If he thought he could use that face to intimidate me, he was sorely mistaken.โYouโre here, my mate,โ he said, dragging the word โmateโ out deliberately, as though daring me to notice. His hand reached for my chee

I stared down at our entwined hands resting against my waist as Ericโs steady breath fanned my neck. His body pressed close to mine, and for the first time in forever, everything feltโฆ right. I wished, desperately, that the world could pause here, in this moment, so I could stay in his arms forever.Turning slowly, I shifted to face him, letting my gaze linger on his sleeping face. Peaceful, sereneโit was such a stark contrast to the chaos we faced. I reached out hesitantly, my fingertips brushing against his cheek. My touch was light, almost reverent, as I leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to his cheek.โWhy are you awake?โ His deep, hoarse voice startled me, his eyes fluttering open to meet mine.โI just wanted to make sure I wasnโt dreaming,โ I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper. โIโm trying so hard to stay in this moment with you, butโฆ I canโt stop thinking about everythingโthe chaos, the danger.โEricโs brows furrowed slightly as he pulled me closer, his arms wrapping prot

I saw the shock on Jessโs face and felt a pang of guilt for putting her on edge. I just couldn't keep it to myself any longer. I wanted to tell Eric, but I couldnโt bear the thought of him spiraling back into his self-loathing.โWhat? If she didnโt kill Ericโs parents, then who did?โ Jess asked, her voice trembling as she tried to recover from the shock etched on her face.โI donโt know, Jess. I didnโt want to believe her when she said it, but deep down, I felt she was telling the truth. She mentioned that exposing the dragon heart to the world had attracted other creatures, but I still donโt understand why Ericโs parents were caught up in all this. They didnโt have the dragon heartโmy mom did. So why didnโt they come for my parents eighteen years ago, before my aunt showed up?โ My voice cracked under the weight of my thoughts, every word exposing the turmoil in my heart.โThis is going to shatter Eric if he finds out,โ Jess said, her voice heavy with sorrow. โWe canโt tell him, Lily.

โNo, no, no, we need to find him! Alex, do something!โ Lily's frantic cries filled the room. Her face was a portrait of horror, her pale skin only adding to the starkness of the moment. Tears streamed down her face, and her breath came in sharp gasps, the kind that made my chest tighten with worry. I feared she might pass out if she didn't calm down.โLily, please, look at me. I need you to calm down!โ I pleaded, my voice trembling with urgency as I reached for her. But she recoiled, her body trembling violently, only intensifying my concern. I turned toward Jess, who had been standing behind me, silent and distant. The look on her face told me she was too devastated to help.Why is Eric doing this to me? Everything is spiraling, and I'm losing control. How am I supposed to handle Jess, let alone Lily?Before I could even try to speak, Jess moved toward Lily, gently approaching her before pulling her into a tight hug.โItโs okay, weโll find him. But I need you to calm down,โ Jess said

I watched as an enraged roar tore from the dragonโs mouth, reverberating through the water like a violent storm. His massive body shifted with a rippling motion, scales shimmering ominously from his head down to his long, spiked tail. In one swift movement, he swung the deadly appendage toward me.The sharp, menacing spikes aimed my way forced me to dart aside, narrowly avoiding his weapon. He charged at me with terrifying speed as I swam deeper into the sea, frantically searching for a place to hide. My gaze landed on a large rock near the ocean floor, and I surged toward it. But before I could reach it, the dragon beat me there, cutting off my escape.His wings unfurled, creating a shadow that enveloped me, while his spiked tail lashed menacingly through the water. Those piercing green crystal eyes locked onto mine, burning with fury. The intensity of his glare was suffocating, a silent declaration of his rage. He didnโt just see me as preyโhe saw me as an enemy.I had nowhere to ru

Just as I suspected, Lily was still sitting in the exact spot she had been when I left earlier. But now, she looked far worseโher face blotchy and swollen, as though she'd been crying the entire time.Eric stood silently at the doorway, his eyes fixed on her. He looked utterly heartbroken, his pain written plainly across his face as he watched Lily in her despair. She hadnโt noticed our presence yet, lost in the dark cloud of her thoughts.And then, her head lifted, her glassy eyes locking with mine for a brief moment before shifting to Eric. Recognition flared in her gaze, and in the next heartbeat, she flew into his arms.Understanding they needed this moment, I stepped out of the room, giving them the space they so desperately needed. I headed toward the sitting room in search of Jess.When I walked in, I found her curled up on the couch, her legs hugged tightly to her chest. Even in sleep, exhaustion clung to her like a heavy weight, her face taut with tension. The sight of her vu

โLily, Lily, wake up!โ A voice whispered in my ear. My eyes fluttered open, and I was met with nothing but darkness. A sharp pain throbbed at the back of my head.I couldn't understand what was happening or where I was. Looking around, I couldn't pick up a single sound or light. But the strange thing wasโI was still floating. Then it hit me. I was still beneath the sea. Panic shot through me as I immediately swam up to the surface, but that only made my fear intensify.Nothing made sense. When I reached the surface, the moon that once shone brightly on the seaโs horizon was gone, leaving me and the vast body of water swallowed in total darkness.But the moon wasnโt the only thing missingโthe storm had vanished too, leaving the sea eerily silent. A chilling stillness settled over me, and worst of all, I was completely lost, with no way of finding my way back to shore.I turned left, then right, but all I could see was endless water stretching around me. A shiver ran down my spine as pa

โLily, stop! Please!โ Ericโs voice was desperate as another wave slammed into me, knocking me back for the tenth time. I was exhausted, but I didnโt care. That was until Eric stepped directly into my path, blocking me.โMove out of my way,โ I said, my voice laced with warning.โNo, this is insane!โ he shot back, but his words only stoked the fire of my anger.โWhy is it insane? Let me guessโyou donโt think I can make it to Terranovae, do you?โ I asked, staring him down. He avoided my gaze, and that hurt more than the waves ever could. He didnโt even have a shred of faith in me.โLily, Iโm just worried about you! I donโt know what that dragon told you, but the skills he taught you? Theyโre useless! Heโs just setting you up to get yourself killed. Letโs go back to the shore. Youโre soaked, youโre freezingโplease!โ He reached out to touch me, but I stepped back, anger flaring.I stared at him in disbelief. How could he say that to me? โI donโt need you to worry about me, Eric! Worry abou

I walked into the sitting room and found Lily on the couch, her figure slouched as if the weight of the world rested on her shoulders. She seemed lost in thought, so much so that she didnโt notice me enter.It took a moment before she finally looked my way, and the exhaustion in her eyes hit me like a punch to the chest. Guilt twisted inside me, sharp and unrelenting, as I realized how much pain I might have caused her. I opened my mouth to apologize, to say somethingโanythingโbut the words refused to come out.โI see youโre ready. Letโs go. Iโm sure Jess and Alex are already waiting for us,โ she said, her tone flat, her eyes distant. She didnโt wait for a response as she walked past me and headed outside. All I could do was quietly follow her, the weight of her coldness pressing down on me.When we reached the car, I moved to open the front passenger door for her, hoping sheโd sit beside me. But instead, she slipped into the backseat without hesitation, creating an invisible barrier

I stared at him, utterly confused. What is he talking about?โHow do you usually do that?โ he asked, his eyes scanning me intently.โDo what?โ I replied, unsure of what he meant.โHow do you always walk in without me hearing you? You did it in the bathroom, and now again. I wouldnโt even have known you were standing behind me if it werenโt for your scent calling my attention to you.โ His words made me frown as I instinctively sniffed the air and glanced toward the bathroom, trying to understand what he was referring to.โYou smell so good, and I canโt help but admit that your scent was the first thing that kept me groundedโespecially the night we met. You know, after witnessing the death of Ericโs parents, it awakened a fierce, protective side of me. A side that always wants to keep him safe. A side that wants to keep us safe.โHis confession didnโt just leave me stunnedโit set a whirlwind of thoughts racing through my mind.โWhat? Did you just say you witnessed what happened to Ericโ

I stood in front of the mirror, fidgeting with the hem of my swimsuit. It felt like it exposed far too much of my body, leaving me vulnerable and self-conscious. Maybe I shouldโve ordered something more modest, but it was too late to change that now. With a deep sigh, I grabbed my bathrobe and headed to the pool, knowing Ericโs dragon side was already waiting for me.A part of me wished Eric, the calm and composed version of him, was in control. But deep down, I knew this was my chance to connect with his dragon side, no matter how intimidating he could be.When I reached the pool, he was already in the water, sitting casually with his back to me. The tattoo on his back drew my attention immediately, as it always did, its intricate details glimmering in the dim light. He must have sensed my presence because he turned to face me, his glowing green eyes locking onto mine. A smirk curved his lips, an expression so different from Ericโs usual demeanor that it made my heart skip a beat.Hi

โLily, is not going to be easy,โ Jess said, but that was not what I wanted to hear.โIt has never been easy, Jess, and Iโm done waiting around for some miracle when we can end this. What I need right now is everyoneโs support. With you, Alex, and Eric, I believe I can do it,โ I said, taking her hands in mine. I needed her to see how much I wanted to get this done.โLily, I believe you can do this, but we donโt have much time. We need to make it back to Terranovae before Ericโs second transformation. I spoke to Ericโs dragon side, and it wants us to find the heart before the second transformation, or both the dragon and Eric will be lost. If that happens, a beast shall be born. It doesnโt matter if Eric or the dragon is in controlโthey will both go wild because theyโve been together since birth,โ Alex said, leaving Jess and me staring at him.โOkay, Iโll help you, but first, I need to heal myself. I canโt help you if Iโm this weak,โ Jess said, and in that moment, all I wanted was to hu
