As I pondered the reasoning for the energy in Grandma Jo's backyard, Lucas dashed out of the house, his face lit up with excitement. "Shana, you're back!"I smiled at him, feeling a surge of relief at seeing him. "Hey, Lucas. Yeah, just got back from training."He threw his arms around me, crushing me into him. I was a bit surprised by his actions. I had only been gone for a few hours.As Lucas released me from his enthusiastic embrace, I noticed a glint of worry in his eyes, hidden behind his usual happy demeanor."I missed you," he said softly, his voice tinged with a hint of vulnerability. He said it quietly so Liam wouldn't hear."I missed you too," I replied, touched by his sincerity.Despite the short time apart, it was comforting to know that my absence had been felt.Turning his attention to Liam, Lucas's expression shifted to one of curiosity. "So, how did it go?"Liam, ever the stoic figure, nodded in approval. "Shana's making great progress. And she handled the portal trave

After school the next day, Lucas and I headed to Grandma Jo's house and settled in to wait for Liam's arrival.I couldn't help but feel a sense of apprehension gnawing at me, knowing that today marked my second training session with Prince AlexanderThe unsettling memory of the mysterious man in the lab coat lingered in the back of my mind, casting a shadow over my excitement.Lucas and I sat in the living room, trying to keep the atmosphere light despite the tension humming between us. Grandma Jo bustled around the kitchen, humming a tune as she prepared dinner, seemingly oblivious to the weight of the situation.As the minutes ticked by, the anticipation grew heavier, and I found myself fidgeting with the hem of my shirt, my nerves getting the better of me.Finally, a sound came from the backyard, and Lucas and I both rushed outsideLiam stood beside the portal he had created, waiting patiently for me. His expression was unreadable as he glanced up at our approach."Hello, Shana," L

Weeks slipped by in a blur of intense training sessions at the palace. Each day brought new challenges, and with them, a growing sense of determination to unravel the mysteries surrounding the strange occurrences in my life.The man in the lab coat continued to make sporadic appearances during our training sessions, his presence casting a shadow of unease over the otherwise familiar surroundings.Lucas and I tried our best to keep our distance from him, while also keeping an eye on him.Sometimes he would be there, lurking in the shadows with his clipboard in hand, observing our every move with a disconcerting intensity. Other times, he would be conspicuously absent, leaving us to wonder when he would reappear next.Professor Black has come back to us with some information about the man in the lab coat. However, much of what he's discovered isn't too useful to us.One evening, as Lucas and I sat in Grandma Jo's living room, discussing the day's training session and the mysterious man

LUCAS POVAs I stormed out of my father's company, frustration boiled inside me like a pot that was ready to overflow. But before I could put too much distance between us, I heard his voice calling after me."Lucas, wait!"I stopped in my tracks, turning reluctantly to face my father, who was striding towards me with a determined look in his eyes."What now?" I snapped, unable to keep the bitterness out of my tone. "Didn't I make my point clear.""I won't tolerate you leaving our conversation like that. I'm your father and I demand some respect."I scoffed, finding him ridiculous.I folded my arms across my chest, my patience wearing thin. "What is it now, Dad? More lectures about how I'm ruining the family legacy?"His features hardened, his voice taking on an edge of frustration. "You know why I'm doing this, Lucas. Ever since you started spending time at that palace, you've become more... defiant.""I've always been defiant," I reasoned. "I'm just finally sick of all of your scheme

EDWIN POVAs my father outlined his plan, a knot formed in my stomach.He wanted to poison Kendrick.Poisoning Kendrick seemed extreme... even for us, but as he continued to lay out the details, I couldn't deny the appeal of finally taking control of the family business."But isn't that illegal?" I interjected, voicing my concerns. "What if we get caught?""Don't be silly, Edwin. We won't get caught.""But how can you be sure? Kendrick always has security personnel around him at all times."My father chuckled, a sinister gleam in his eyes. "Leave that to me, Edwin. I have everything under control. We'll make sure Kendrick doesn't suspect a thing."His assurance did little to ease my growing sense of unease. "But what if someone finds out? What if we're caught? The consequences could be catastrophic.""We won't be caught," he repeated firmly, his tone brooking no argument. "Besides, I'll take full responsibility if anything goes wrong. You won't be implicated."His confidence was both
