ZORDON'S POV

I held her tightly, feeling her life slowly drain away in my arms. The pain she felt became mine, sinking deep into my chest. There was no way to explain why I had to drive a dagger into her heart—no version of this story where my actions could be justified. But I had been faced with an impossible choice: her life, or the lives of everyone in this pack.

I carried her to my room, gently placing her on my bed. I sat beside her, numb and silent. Moments later, Isla entered with Stefan and Dustin. No one spoke. No one could.

We had just managed to contain another attack from the Pinewood pack. I was reaching my breaking point. One more push, and I'd stop holding back. Retaliation was becoming inevitable.

"Since no one wants to ask the obvious question, I will," Isla said coldly. "Why the hell do you have a spelled dagger in your room? Where did you even get something like that?"

"It belonged to my mother," I replied quietly. "A witch made it for her, specifically for me. She

    ZORDON'S POV"Why does it matter where I got it from? You're here to break the curse, just do what you came here to do," I said sharply."My mother made that dagger for Daisy's mother," she replied, her voice firm. "The only way you should have it is if you killed her. So I'll ask one more time, where did you get that dagger?""Well, my mother told me a powerful witch gave it to her," I said. She pointed at the dagger. "That insignia engraved on the hilt? It belongs to the House of Luthur. My family. My mother only ever spelled one dagger and she gave it to Daisy's mother. Daisy was my neighbour... and my best friend.""When she wakes up, we'll talk," Isla cut in. "But right now, can you help her?"Lila looked from Isla to me and gave a small nod. She stepped toward Daisy and passed through what seemed to be a magical shield surrounding her. Carefully, she pulled the dagger from her chest.Daisy’s eyes flew open. She grabbed Lila's wrist, yanked the dagger from her, and threw it at m

    DAISY'S POVThe first thing I felt was fire burning hot, and coursing through my chest like molten glass. Then came the cold. Like I'd fallen through ice. Voices echoed in the dark. Zordon's. Isla's. And another one. It was strange, but familiar all at the same time.Then light.I gasped, my body arching off the bed as if jolted by lightning. My lungs filled with air like it was the first breath I'd ever taken. My heart thundered in my chest.And I saw her.Her face was kind. Her magic was powerful. But her scent and her aura was wrong. Too clean. Too perfect. It struck me like a scream in the silence."You," I rasped.The room went quiet.Zordon leaned in. "Daisy? It's okay, you're safe. It's over."But I didn't take my eyes off the woman beside me."You're the one," I whispered. My throat was dry, but the rage surged like a tide. "You hexed me. You cursed me.""What are you talking about?" she asked gently.But I saw it then. Her true face. Beneath the glamour, beyond the spell. I k

    DAISY'S POVThe war room of the Deathclaw stronghold was carved into the side of a mountain, cold stone kissed with moss and ash. A fire roared in the center pit, casting flickering shadows across the worn wooden table littered with maps, rune stones, and hastily scrawled plans.I stood at the head of it all, hands braced against the edge of the table, eyes locked on the map of Pinewood territory."We strike the south flank here," Zordon said, tapping near the Ashen Bridge. "The guards rotate every two hours. We move just before dawn while the full patrol is returning and the replacements are still getting into place.""They'll expect a direct charge," Dustin muttered, arms crossed. "We should bring in the witchfire archers from the House of Authur. Rain hell down on them first.""We can't," Lila said from across the room. "If the wards they're using are blood-bound, witchfire won't work. It'll bounce off and hit our own."I raised a hand, cutting the bickering short. "We need a dist

    DAISY'S POVThe scar beneath my heart wouldn't stop burning.Even after Lila collapsed and the circle was cleared, even after Isla scattered the lunar dust to sever the veil's residue, the pain pulsed beneath my skin like a second heartbeat.I gripped the table to steady myself. My legs had started trembling, and it wasn't just from fear.Something inside me felt... wrong. Not just the tether. Not just the Vorrak. Something deeper. Something new.Zordon came to my side and placed a hand on my back. "You need to lie down.""I'm fine," I said quickly."You're not."I tried to wave him off, but the moment I moved, a wave of nausea hit me like a storm. I turned my head sharply and barely made it to the basin in the corner before I vomited.Everyone went silent.Zordon rushed to me, crouching down. "Daisy—""I said I'm fine," I hissed, wiping my mouth. My entire body was shaking now. Too hot, then too cold. My magic surged beneath my skin, then recoiled, confused, and chaotic.Lila stepped

    DAISY'S POVBy nightfall, the wind turned sharp, dragging mist down from the peaks like claws across the stone. We met at the river's edge, cloaked in black and silver, our scents masked with ashroot and pine blood. The others didn't know about the pregnancy. Only Zordon, Lila, Isla, Dustin and Stefan. And for now, it needed to stay that way.If anyone doubted my strength, this mission would fail before it began.I paced in front of the river team, five of Deathclaw's most trusted: Isla, of course, quiet and deadly as a shadow; Dustin, the skeptic, chosen for his strategic mind; Nyra, a half-blood scout who could hold her breath underwater for minutes; and Pablo, the silent brute whose loyalty was as fierce as his temper.Zordon stood just outside the clearing, fists clenched at his sides, watching me like he wanted to drag me back into the stronghold and lock the doors behind us.But he knew better."This isn't just a raid," I told them.

    ZORDON'S POVThe scream split the sky like lightning.I didn't even wait.The silver flare blasted above the trees. Lila's enchanted mirror lighting up the clouds with streaks of blood-red fire. That wasn't the planned signal. That wasn't victory. That was a warning.I was already running.Behind me, Stefan and Lila ran behind me. I didn't look back. My only thought was her. Daisy. My mate. My Moonblood. And the child she now carried.My boots hit the forest floor hard, crushing frost and ash underfoot. The wind screamed through the trees as if it too sensed what was coming."She wasn't supposed to fight tonight!" Stefan shouted behind me."She didn't go to fight," I growled. "She went to steal something. That flare means something else found her."I didn't say the word out loud.Vorrak.Lila's warning haunted me. A soul-tethered beast, fed by Daisy's stolen power, twisted by Dexter's blood magic. And now it was loose, hunting the only thing it could feel connected to.My gut burned.

    DAISY'S POVThe air buzzed with excitement as the pack celebrated this momentous occasion, one I believed was meant to honour Dexter and me.I stood beside my fiancé, my heart swelling with pride at being in the company of such a powerful alpha. I was dressed in a midnight-blue gown that matched the colour of his eyes perfectly. Furthermore, I felt every bit the Luna I had dreamed of becoming. For years, I had been by Dexter's side, supporting him through battles, council meetings, and late-night strategizing sessions. I had given him my heart, my devotion, and my everything. Tonight was going to be the night he would finally acknowledge all that I had done for him. The moment he would tell everyone that I was the brains behind everything; the one who stayed up longer than anyone, the one who came up with the best and brightest ideas to defeat rogues and keep our pack safe.

Of course, he was going to choose her over me. There was no version of this story where he would look at both of us and pick me. Never.This was supposed to be a mission. Just a mission. I was supposed to help my father ruin him. I knew it was a bad idea from the start. But Dexter’s charm... it worked its magic on me. Now here I was, hopelessly in love with a man who was still obsessed with another woman.I couldn't do this anymore.I wanted to go home. I wanted to call Tony and tell him I'd made up my mind—that I wanted to be with him. That I was done holding out hope for Dexter. Done waiting for him to change. I was tired of being humiliated. Tired of being a placeholder in his life. He was never going to love me the way I needed him to.I wasn't going to keep stroking his ego or warming his bed like I
