"We're not running," my voice sliced through the thick, cursed air like a razor blade. Not this time, too.

Cassandra grinned, her darkly delighted emerald-green eyes flashing with old, perverted power.

She lifted her palm and black power flowed from her fingers, splintering the floor in a web of jagged, burning runes. She was foolish.

I launched a wall of flames to stop her next strike, but the cursed mark twisted agonisingly and I had to kneel.

Sebastian raced forward, his sword blazing lethal arcs and savagely precisely chopping through shadow-beasts. Dax followed, deadly and unrelenting, his wolf form mercilessly ripping apart adversaries.

Mocking voice of Cassandra permeated the area and crept into my head.

You believe they may rescue you? Her eyes fixed predatory and knowing on me. "They don’s see you for what you really are... but I do."

The cursed brand flashed, drawing me more into her twisted magic—a web of manipulation and sinister pledges.

Everything turned suddenly.

    “How long have you known?”My voice broke through the smothering quiet like a dagger, piercing and demanding. The cursed mark on my arm pulsed, burning hotter with each passing second, fueled by betrayal and unresolved fury.Dax stiffened, his amber eyes narrowing, though pain flickered beneath his hardened expression. Sebastian’s face remained cold, unreadable—but his clenched fists spoke volumes.“Zaia—” Dax started, but I took a step forward, silver-crimson flames sparking dangerously at my fingertips.“Don’t lie to me.” My voice trembled, both fierce and broken. “How long have you known about the prophecy?
