But I had to try—I couldn’t return to my friends empty-handed.Reaching the edge of the mystical boundary, I paused, taking a moment to ground myself. The Moonshade Lilacs greeted me like old friends, their petals shimmering softly. I inhaled deeply, the magical aroma infusing me with courage. The boundary once again parted for me, wisps of violet mist swirling in its wake, guiding my steps back into the witch realm.As I navigated the familiar path leading to the coven, the memory of my encounter with the mysterious witches played in my mind.

**Enzo's POV**Stepping into the witches' realm was like diving into a storm. The very air crackled with electricity, a foreboding sign. But nothing could've prepared me for the chaos that greeted my senses. The sounds struck first—screams punctuated by the boom of explosions, echoing through the forest like the distantly rolling thunder of an approaching tempest.Blood. Smoke. The scents assaulted me, twisting my stomach into tight knots. A war was raging here, and I knew Winter was somewhere in the thick of it. I charged forward, my instincts overriding any semblance of rational thought. The screams heightened as I closed the distance, my heart pounding against my ribs like a war drum.The scene unfolded before me like a nightmare come to life—a battlefield of magic and bloodshed, witches locked in deadly combat against an unseen enemy. I skidded to a halt, trying to assess who they were fighting against, when the answer hurtled at me from the side.A wolf, fur matted with dirt and

**Winter's POV**The forest seemed to whisper my name as I pushed onward, my heart racing as though it knew something I didn’t. The magical air around me felt more alive than ever, charged with power and waiting for a command. Yet, contrary to my intentions, my body felt heavy and sluggish. Each step toward Lily was excruciating. My legs screamed in exhaustion, my muscles threatening to betray me with every stride. I clutched the map we’d created like a talisman, its promise of guidance through the unknown spurring me forward.But then it hit—a sharp, searing pain that ripped through my abdomen. I crumpled to the forest floor, a cry spilling from my lips. The agony was worlds apart from anything I'd experienced, each wave relentless in its savagery.No, I couldn't let this stop me. Lily needed me. I tried to shift into my wolf, to let it take control and carry me when I couldn’t. But the shift eluded me, slipping away like smoke through my fingers. Panic gripped me, intertwining with

**Elena’s POV**The forest felt alive, its energy pulsing like a heartbeat as Jake and I stepped out of the car. The rustling leaves whispered secrets I couldn't quite catch, and a shiver of anticipation ran down my spine. This wasn't just any forest; this was the gateway to the wolf's world, the place Winter called home. As I looked over at Jake and watched him take in the towering trees and wild terrain, I could see the awe in his eyes."Is this... what it feels like for you guys all the time?" Jake asked, his voice filled with a mixture of excitement and hesitation.I smiled, trying to offer reassurance. "It's a bit different for a fairy without wings," I replied, a teasing note in my words. "But don't worry. I've got your back. I won't let anything happen to you." My words hung between us like a promise.We began to walk, the path weaving through towering trees that seemed to stretch endlessly into the sky. As we moved deeper into the forest, Jake's barrage of questions began. "So

**Enzo's POV**The sky was a mantle of grey as I arrived at the gates of the Elders' place. Each step brought me closer to the threshold of the forbidden, where thick iron bars loomed taller than any creature that dared trespass. I paused, letting the moment stretch longer than necessary. Memories flooded my mind—years of silence, estrangement from everything magical and wild. I had turned my back on it all but now stood before the echoes of a past I couldn't escape.I shifted back to human form, my fur retreating into skin with a ripple of power. The cool air kissed my bare flesh, an unwelcome reminder of vulnerability. A robe, tattered and badly frayed, hung near the entrance, left for wolves like me who had forgotten what it was to belong.

My heart thundered in my chest as I took in the horrors that awaited bodi
