~Raven's POV~

“ How did you know the name Honeycutt?”

Raven's heart was pounding in her chest as she whispered the question to the man with a suspicious gaze.

She was still trying to wrap her head around the fact that he knew her real name, Honeycutt. She couldn't believe that someone had dug up such personal information about her, especially since she had never shared it with anyone before.

She didn't even go by that name at work. Simply put it that no one except her grandmother knows.

As the man stared at her with a smile on his face, she couldn't help but wonder what his angle was. Was he trying to intimidate her with this information?

She didn't know how he got the information, but he sure did his assignment.

Raven was beginning to feel like she was in over her head, but she refused to back down now. She had come too far to give up now.

"I thought you wanted to know who Phoenix is?" the man said, his smile widening. "Hell, you have to be more shocked with me calling you Phoenix.

    ~ Raven's POV~Raven couldn't fathom how the man before her could claim to have been present at her birth. "How the hell is that possible. Surely I must have heard something about you in the past, plus you look…no offense…but you don’t look that old…” she said, glancing at his figure skeptically. In response, the man simply nodded and stated, “Yes, I don’t look that old...you’d be surprised at my age if I told you though.”Despite the man's calm demeanor, Raven remained unconvinced. She couldn't wrap her head around the idea that this stranger could have been present during such a significant moment in her life. She had already found it difficult enough to believe that he was keeping an eye on her to determine whether or not she posed a threat.As she pondered his claims, Raven became increasingly agitated. She thought to herself that there was definitely no way the man was saying the truth. How could he possibly expect her to believe such a preposterous story? She couldn't help but

    ~ Lumiére's POV~As Lumiére looked around the room, it was clear that everyone was thinking the same thing. This was a game changer and they needed to come up with a plan to combat this new threat. Lord Hitter's question broke the silence, and everyone turned to him expectantly.“How are the victims identified?” he asked, his voice barely above a whisper. The man who had brought the news furrowed his brow in thought. “We saw burns on their body. What could burn a Vampire's body?” he replied, scanning the faces of those around the room.The question hung in the air, unanswered. Everyone knew what could burn a vampire's body. The group looked at each other, looking round the room. When no one spoke up, the man groaned in frustration. “C'mon people,” urging them to think harder.Lord Ramon’s second in command snorted at the man's question, "Were you expecting us to answer that question?" he asked, confused.

    ~ Raven's POV~Raven's eyes widened as she tried to take in the enormity of what her grandmother was telling her. She had always thought of her granny as just an old woman who loved to knit and bake, not a warrior fighting against evil creatures. She had so many questions swirling in her mind, but the biggest one was, "Why didn't you tell me about this before?"Granny sighed and looked away, "I didn't want you to get hurt, Raven. The world is a dangerous place, and I wanted to keep you safe. But now that you have the mark, there's no hiding it anymore. You need to embrace your destiny"Raven scoffed, so much for destiny. Everything sounded like a fairy tale from a book. She was a Night Watcher? Who fought vampires?. The only fucking thing she knew how to do was teaching, she was a professor for fucks sake."

"What the hell is going on here!" he shouted, his voice echoing off the walls. Reagan, who had been lounging on the couch the whole time, finally spoke up. "Don't look at me," he said with a shrug. "I just got back and found him and the living room in this state." He said with a hint of amusement in his eyes. Noah, who was hunched over a pile of papers, didn't even seem to notice his outburst. It pissed him off the more. The guy was still reading whatever was in the paper he was reading.He took in two steady breaths and caught Reagan watching him, "is he deaf or something…?" He fired.Reagan chuckled, "Hey, I don't see what the big deal is. It's just a little mess. Noah's a genius,

He recounted how after their outing the other day, Arin had called him and told him about a certain lady in Lumiére's life who he had no idea existed.Lumiére's expression turned to a frown as he arched a brow at Reagan. "Arin told you this? Why would he say something like that?" he asked in a low, careful voice.Reagan knew he had to be honest with Lumiére, so he replied, "Kind of... not exactly his words though."Lumiére nodded gently and swallowed before looking at Reagan. "I'm not seeing anyone, Reagan. I don't know where Arin got this idea from, but I assure you it's not true," he denied.A lie.Reagan sat on the edge of the bed and wa

Most Vampires wouldn't have survived being exposed to Allicin every hour for weeks, but he was different. He was stronger, or so he believed.But as the days turned into weeks, doubts began to creep into his mind. How much longer could he endure this torture? He had lost track of time since his capture, possibly a month or more. It was all a blur.He let out a weary sigh, bracing himself for what was to come. No matter how many times he resisted, Heather refused to believe him."Where is the sword?!" Heather sneered, the frustration evident in his voice."I've already told you, I don't know," Lumiére snapped back, meeting Heather's gaze defiantly.Heather scoffed, grabbing another syringe filled with Allicin.

Recovering her memories was painful, and she wasn't even fully there yet.Somehow she wished that she had not remembered this piece of her past life. She hasn’t fully recovered her memories and it already hurt this much, she thought.She knew she had tears running through her eyes, but because she was now drenched in water, it was not noticeable to the ordinary eyes, except one looked deeply.She had known Lumiére in her past life, and they were lovers. The realization that she had betrayed him felt like being stung by a thousand bees at once.Ophelia's presence was no surprise anymore. It was clear that she was working with both the witches and outlaws.

    Raven's POVOakhurst? Raven's mind was buzzing with questions. Why was Lumiére in Oakhurst? It was the same place she had been abducted by the witch.

After all, it was almost an hour away from her home and university.Just as she was about to speak, the door creaked open, saving her from any potential lies. Finally, someone was coming in, and maybe they would get some answers to their bewildering situation.She wondered what the guys would be doing now that she was missing. Would they see this as a collateral loss and forget her or would they search for her.In her mind, she worried about Achim, who had been with her when she was taken, though unconscious. She hoped he would have been able to provide some valuable information to the others.With bated breath, she watched Lumiére, who seemed equally anxious, waiting for the newcomer to enter the
