Nemesis Of The Lycan Triplets night discussions ii
Makeh's words hung in the air long after she stopped speaking. They weren't the kind that faded—they pressed, heavy and suffocating, sinking into my skin like cold rain. Destiny. Darkness. Eternity. A goddess who cursed people for running away from their assigned cosmic chores.I sat there staring at the old-young woman, my mind a storm of reactions that refused to settle into anything reasonable.You'd think I'd feel fear, or awe, or some sort of solemn understanding.But no.The only thing swirling in my head was: Eternity would not be the worst thing in the world.If Makeh saw it as a curse, then maybe she simply lacked imagination.Because if someone offered me endless years—actual endless years… Ah, it was ample time to deal with the triplets. To dismantle every plot those overpowered nuisances ever dared to think of. To also handle the vampires after that and whatever stupid darkness they came with.And maybe travel, see the world, eat good food, sleep in soft beds, do absolut

SAGEI stood in the centre of the hut and refused to sit. This was no time for chitchats, the time was long gone for that. I should be in the forbidden library."What am I doing here?" I repeated for the third time. My voice scraped out of me thin, stretched tight with irritation. But it didn't matter. Makeh was just as bland as she had been then.She acted like she didn't hear it. She just stirred the steaming pot in front of her, the exact same way she had done six years ago, when Diana and I had stumbled into this place half-terrified.Same hut.Same wooden chairs.Same damned smell.Behind me, Darius sank into one of the chairs with an ease that irritated me further. The ancient was actually getting comfortable. Comfortable. In Makeh's presence. In Makeh's hut. As though we were guests, not captives.I clenched my jaw and refused to move.Makeh didn't turn around. "Sit down, Sage," she said. "If you want answers, sit."I scowled, but my legs betrayed me. Anger wasn't enough to ke

I froze. What the hell? Did I just…Slowly, I turned.Darius stood a few feet away, dusting off his hands like he'd simply stepped through a casual doorway instead of ripping through a witch-warded teleportation fold."How—"He grinned, smug and infuriating. "You think you're the only one who knows how to bend space? I'm old, Sage. You think your little witch spells are enough to bar me?"I didn't like the way he said my name—soft, certain, like he'd peeled back the mask I wore and seen the real skin underneath. And Saints, I was so tired of him. Tired of his existence. Tired of his inconvenient intelligence, his ancient instincts, his ability to smell the lies I kept buried."How old are you anyway?!" I hissed, gritting my teeth. How can one person annoy you so much?He shrugged. "A hundred and thirty… not much truly. I'm still a youngling in the age of my people."My mouth fell open. A hundred and thirty? And he called himself a teenager? What then was their lifespan? "You claim t

I felt my skin go cold in spite of the heat of my magic. My mind too wasn't left out—the plan and all of its scaffolding were scattering themselves, pushing forcefully against it, causing my head to pound.Darius. Had I been stupid to let him live? Yes. I had. Freda would be disappointed in me for hesitating in that field. I had been softened by his tears of blood, by the sudden linking that happened between us, and had let him go. And now, I was paying the price; now, my plans were about to be shredded. My teeth wouldn't stop gritting. I was losing control of my unbothered façade, but the anger just wouldn't let me see reason. Darius was closer than anyone had the right to be; he was closer to reading my intent like a book in his hand. "You're persistent," I said, exhaling weakly, trying for casual. My voice, however, did not sound casual.He cocked his head, that slow, predatory tilt. "You are too clever to be undone by a little curiosity, Sage. But do you really think you can hi

Speaking to it? The question followed me like a dare, soft and incredulous, and I almost laughed out loud—right there in the dark of my room where the window threw a pale strip of moon across the floorboards. Darius had said it as if it were obvious, like noticing when a candle went out. Speaking to it. Speaking to someone in my head.Of course he would suspect.My first impulse was to tell him to mind his own prophecy-haunted business. My second was to consider, for a heartbeat too long, whether I should tell him the truth.I snorted at myself in the next second. Why would I ever trust anyone with that—worse, with him? Yes, there was kinship there, maybe, a mirror of age and weariness that might lure the gullible into confiding; it almost lured me into imagining explanations of what El was, what I possibly was. Almost.No. I slapped my palms together to crowd out the dangerous softness of the idea. Not now. Not ever. The plan was too close to fruition to be blithely shared.I had

I stared at Darius for a long moment, unsure if I'd heard him correctly. A prophecy? That was what had dragged an ancient creature across half the world? I wasn't sure whether to laugh or to ask him to start again, slower this time."What kind of prophecy?" I asked finally, voice softer than I intended.My mind was already spinning ahead, rifling through everything I remembered from the dusty books I'd devoured back in the secret caves of the Queen— before everything changed. The Ancients weren't supposed to exist anymore. The last records of them placed their kind far away, in the Xanthenk Mountains, buried within the icy ridges and mist-laden caverns of that region. Back when the supernatural world was younger, they'd ruled entire empires built on magic that predated the witches. Then, they vanished. Gone before the world had learned how to name half of its monsters. Well, they had been attacked, annihilated.If that incident hadn't happened, what shape would the supernatural wor
