“Someone visited me.”

“Who?” I asked urgently, my voice barely above a whisper.

“My sister.”

“You have a sister, Markus?”

I was completely thrown off by this news. After twelve years together, he had never mentioned any family to me.

It was astonishing how my husband had started seeing another woman just because I left him, I thought as I pressed the phone against my shoulder, needing to grasp all the new information he was revealing.

“Calm down, Scarlett, I’m not cheating on you. She called days ago, explaining how families can drift apart, and she was right about every detail.” He reassured me, but I remained unmoved.

“Her name is…”I interrupted him.

“Markus, this conversation is finished. I need to clear my mind in the peaceful space I’ve created for myself. Take care of yourself and your… SISTER.” I hung up. Slowly, I stepped back until I reached the mattress and lay down.

Sister?

My thoughts raced. Twelve years together, and he had never mentioned a sister. Not onc

    Katherine povI grabbed some potatoes from the cupboard, my heart racing with conflicting thoughts. I felt too lazy to prepare them for breakfast. There's something I need to confess right now. I spent the night with Nyx, and I really don’t want Marian to find out. She would be furious to learn I was with her boyfriend, and Scarlett would undoubtedly jump to her defense. I thought about this as I adjusted my short polo to reach my knees."Nyx, just hang tight, okay? Mom won't be home for a while, so relax, spread those legs, and let the ceiling admire your nakedness," I called out loudly. I hoped no one would drop by because I wouldn’t be able to face them; their words would be like daggers."I love you, Kat," Nyx replied, his tone serious, as if he truly meant it. I smiled, noticing the kitchen was a mess, and I needed to tidy up before cooking.As I stood in the disordered kitchen, the morning light poured in, illuminating the chaos. Crumbs and dirty dishes cluttered the counters,

    Marian pov“Kat, open the door.” We knocked repeatedly, but she refused to let us in. Ever since we got here, she's been acting strangely."Scarlett, don't you think she's hiding something?" I whispered to Scarlett, trying to keep my voice down so that girl wouldn't overhear us. Scarlett brought me here to resolve things, but her demeanor is anything but inviting."Girls, wait in the living room. I have an upset stomach," Katherine's voice came through her door as we stood in the hallway, knocking persistently. I know she's a bit off, but this behavior is really suspicious.I knocked on Kat's door again, my patience running out. Scarlett placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder."Marian, maybe she's genuinely unwell," Scarlett suggested.I gave her a doubtful look. "You really think so?"Scarlett's face showed uncertainty. "I don't know... Kat has been acting odd lately."I nodded, my suspicions confirmed. "Exactly. She's definitely hiding something."Kat's voice came through the door,

    Elena pov“Markus, which woman did you tell Scarlett about? She’s been restless all week, constantly calling and texting to check on you. Who is this lady you suddenly claim is your sister?” I asked, my heart racing and my voice reflecting my anger over the situation.I watched him approach, his hand outstretched, but I scoffed, fury boiling inside me. You told my friend Scarlett that you’ve found your long-lost sister. I knew it was a lie."I'm not lying," he insisted. "A woman came to me, explaining everything about my family and how we’re connected before someone tore us apart."I erupted into laughter; it all sounded like a ridiculous tale."Save it, Markus!" I snapped, my voice shaking with rage. "You expect me to buy this absurd story about a sister you never mentioned before? You’re unbelievable!" I shook my head, my eyes filled with anger.Markus looked desperate, but I wasn’t swayed. "Elena, please listen. I know it sounds insane, but just hear me out." He reached for me agai

    Scarlett povThe blazing sun forced me to slide the window open immediately. Marian had been sobbing all day over Nyx's ridiculous cheating. Trying to comfort someone like her is exhausting; I felt an urge to punch her for soaking my mattress with her pointless tears.The warm breeze brought in the fragrance of blooming flowers, but it did nothing to lighten the heavy mood. Marian's cries filled the room, testing my patience to its limits. I gritted my teeth, my fingers itching to shake some sense into her."Marian, please stop crying!" I shouted, frustration clear on my face. "You're ruining my mattress, and honestly, Nyx's betrayal might be a blessing if it means I can escape this emotional storm."Marian curled up tighter, her face buried in the pillow as her sobs grew louder. I could feel her pain like a tangible weight. My irritation began to fade, replaced by a pang of guilt. I recalled all the times Marian had supported me, always ready to listen and comfort.Taking a deep brea

    Scarlett povI slammed the door as soon as I excused myself from Marian and Lexi. That girl… I hurried to the drawer where my phone had been locked away and silent for hours.Wow, I hadn’t called anyone, nor had I even thought to. OMG! Elena nearly drained my phone with 27 missed calls. Why was she calling? It was odd for her to bombard me like that. My thoughts immediately went to my son. I hope nothing's wrong; I don’t want to be a negligent parent. I quickly scrolled through my phone and dialed her number. I paced with my hand on my hip, waiting for her to answer, and finally, she did. I could hear some rustling on her end.“Hey, what’s going on? I saw a ton of missed calls from you. How’s Henry?” I asked urgently, sitting on my mattress and gripping the bedsheet.“He’s fine. The school bus just dropped him off, and I had to rush to the kitchen to make something for him.” She hesitated, her heavy breathing echoing in my ear.“It’s about Markus and his new sister coming to see him,

    Scarlett pov I won't overlook anything, especially when I'm hurt over a trivial argument. I lay in bed, listening to the morning birds singing their cheerful tunes."Good morning, Scarlett! Are you really not going to work?" Marian's voice rang out from the hallway."I'm not going, sweetheart. I've got terrible cramps," I replied, still lounging on my bed. The truth was, I needed to talk to Lexi; she had some explaining to do. I didn't want to involve Marian since she didn't know Markus or that I was married.Lexi's place is just two doors down, so it’s a quick trip.I threw off the covers and swung my legs over the edge of the bed, grimacing as a sharp pain shot through my abdomen. While cramps were a solid excuse to skip work, that wasn't my main reason for staying home. I had to confront Lexi."Marian, I’ll be okay. Just need to rest a bit," I called out, trying to sound as weak as possible."Okay, Scarlett. Hope you feel better soon!" Marian's voice faded as she left.Once I hear

    Joe pov Marian called.“Why is she calling? She shouldn't, as she's not supernatural. I don't want to hurt her; she's Jovia and innocent. I want to keep her safe; she should be your priority, Joe. I noticed the affection in your eyes when she reached out to you.” Alia said, looking at me with a grin. I couldn't grasp what she meant by affection.“Are you out of your mind? Why would you say I'm in love? I need to deliver that annoying Scarlett to whoever sent me for her, and you're talking about love?” I snapped, throwing two round balls into the air.“Come on, Joe, I saw the way you looked at her. You have feelings for Marian. When she accidentally touched you, I used my magic to pick up on it.”“Trust me, after your morning coffee, you'll see what love is.”She teased, stirring the bowl of flour on the table.I shot a glare at Alia, my eyes narrowing. "What’s wrong with you? I'm focused on returning Scarlett, not getting caught up in romance." I caught the balls and threw them again,

    Scarlett pov“Why didn't you tell me about all this stress?”“Who is Klaus that you can't share with me?”“Please talk to me,” I insisted, but Lexi remained silent, lost in her tears. Her eyes were red and puffy.“I am a werewolf, tasked with bringing you to Klaus. The first skinwalker, that idiot, was supposed to do it but failed when he killed the driver taking you home one night.” Her words sent chills through me.I realized who she meant. The guy in the hoodie who had been stalking me for months, making me feel like I was losing my mind. Anger surged within me.“What does Klaus want?” I said, my fist tightening around her trembling hand.“Scarlett, you need to stay away from him. He’s more dangerous than you can imagine.”My mind raced, trying to absorb the bombshell Lexi had just dropped. Klaus echoed in my thoughts, sending a chill down my spine. The hoodie guy had been tormenting me, pushing me to the edge of sanity."Who is Klaus?" I demanded, my voice trembling with fear and

    Scarlett's POV:Tears cascaded down my face as I gazed through the narrow, barred window of my prison cell. The view outside was a hazy mix of water and sky, the entire landscape engulfed, with no land in sight. The magnitude of my situation was beyond my comprehension. A prison submerged beneath the waves, where the horizon seemed to stretch infinitely, and everything I cherished had vanished beneath the surface.How did I end up in this place? How did my life devolve into such a nightmare?My heart raced as I wiped away the tears, my fingers quivering as they brushed against my damp cheeks. The chill from the window bit into my skin, yet it paled in comparison to the deep ache within me—the longing for freedom, for hope, for an escape. The thought of remaining in this submerged prison had never crossed my mind. Yet, here I was, confined in a cell, feeling as if the very water surrounding me was closing in, threatening to engulf me entirely.I allowed my body to slide down against th

    Scarlett povThe frigid air struck my skin sharply as the guards pushed me through the cramped prison hallways. My muscles tightened, adrenaline coursing through me as I fought to control my breathing. I sensed Blackwood's menacing presence just behind me, like a hunter relishing the scent of its quarry. Each step reminded me of the torment awaiting me. I had been in this place before, but the circumstances were now altered. This time, I wasn’t merely a captive; I was a target they aimed to shatter."You'll regret crossing me, Scarlett," Blackwood hissed, his voice low and filled with malice. A chill ran down my spine, but I refused to give him the satisfaction of revealing my fear.I smirked, keeping my voice calm despite the cold seeping into my bones. “You really think I’m afraid of you? You clearly don’t know me, Blackwood.”He halted, his footsteps reverberating in the stillness of the corridor. I could feel his cold, calculating gaze on the back of my head. “Oh, I know enough. Y

    Scarlett pov It was time for the usual daily bath. For us prisoners, bathing together in the communal bathroom was just part of the routine. I gathered my soap and other essentials, wiping my dusty face with a towel. As I made my way down the hall, I sensed something was different. Women were gathered, towels wrapped around them. My heart raced as I calculated my steps toward the scene. What was happening? That question echoed in my mind. "Hey Scarlett, hurry up or you'll face the consequences!" a sharp soprano voice called from behind, pushing me to move faster. I quickened my pace, my heart pounding with unease. The usual sounds of chatter and laughter were replaced by an unsettling quiet. I tightened my towel around me, the rough fabric irritating my skin as I continued. As I neared the bathroom, I noticed the door was slightly open, a beam of light spilling out and creating an eerie glow on the floor. I pushed the door open and scanned the room for clues about the situatio

    Marian pov I gathered my things, preparing to head to work, feeling the heaviness of loneliness and anxiety in my chest. I ignored the noisy fridge, too consumed by the reality that everyone I cared about had left. Scarlett and Finn were no longer part of my life. As I stood there, caught in my morning routine, the burden of solitude felt overwhelming. Scarlett and Finn had filled my days with joy and laughter, and now their absence echoed painfully in the silence. I inhaled deeply, attempting to dispel the emptiness that had taken root inside me. I needed to get to work; I couldn't allow my personal struggles to interfere with my duties. I finished dressing, my actions automatic as I went through the steps. I picked up my bag and moved toward the door, but a wave of anxiety washed over me as I reached for the handle. What if I couldn't manage this? What if facing the day without Scarlett and Finn was too much? I dismissed those thoughts, reminding myself that I had overcome

    Finn povI returned to Klaus after losing Scarlett, knowing I had to report directly to him. I could already sense his fury at the news that the one woman he tasked me with finding was still missing. I was certain he would kill me for this failure.As I pushed through the heavy wooden doors, the eerie creaking resonated in the empty hallway, reflecting the dread that gripped my chest. My heart felt like it was being crushed, each beat a reminder of the reckoning that awaited me.I had let Klaus down. The burden of that failure weighed heavily on me, threatening to suffocate me. Scarlett, the person he had entrusted to me, was still out there, and I was the one who would face the repercussions.Approaching Klaus's study, I felt my palms grow clammy. My mind raced, trying to find a way to present my failure in a less deadly light. But deep down, I knew it was pointless. Klaus had no patience for failure; he obliterated it.I inhaled deeply, the air catching in my throat as I raised my h

    Scarlett povThe door to my prison ward swung open for the first time in weeks, and the sight of daylight filled me with a surge of joy.As I emerged from the grim cell, the warm sunlight enveloped my face, its golden rays rejuvenating my weary spirit. It felt as though the universe was welcoming me back to life. I closed my eyes, tilted my head back, and allowed the light to embrace me, igniting a flicker of hope deep within.The sound of rustling clothes and soft voices pulled me back to the present. I opened my eyes to see a group of women in worn uniforms, their expressions a blend of curiosity and caution. I recognized that look; it mirrored my own reflection from the past weeks.A small woman with a messy bob and a scar above her left eyebrow stepped forward. "Well, look who finally decided to grace us with her presence," she said, her tone laced with sarcasm. "The princess has arrived."I shot her a sharp look. "I'm no princess," I replied, my voice steady but tinged with amuse

I was held captive in a place where I couldn't even begin to comprehend my situation.I slowly pushed myself up from the ground and stumbled toward the door.Is anyone there? Why won’t anyone respond?I took a cautious step forward, straining my eyes to see through the darkness. The air was heavy with the smell of mold and rot. A chill ran down my spine as I made my way to the door. My throat was raw from shouting, but I called out again, "Is anyone there?"The silence was overwhelming. An eerie stillness seemed to absorb my words. I banged on the door, the cold metal biting into my fists. "Let me out! Please, someone, let me out!"Tears welled in my eyes as memories of Remus flooded my mind. His lifeless form appeared before me, and a wave of sorrow crashed over me. I leaned against the door, my body
