Chapter 71The Shadow of BetrayalQuinton’s POVThe silence between Fiona and me lingered as we moved through the dense forest, the weight of Kade’s words pressing heavily on my mind. The deeper we ventured, the more the trees seemed to close in, casting long shadows that danced in the dimming light. Each step felt heavy, like the world was closing around us, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was lurking just beyond the trees, waiting to strike.“Quinton,” Fiona’s voice was barely above a whisper, her hand gripping mine tightly. “Do you think he’ll come back?”I glanced over at her, catching the flicker of fear in her eyes. “He will,” I said, my voice low and grim. “But we’ll be ready next time.”She nodded, though her expression didn’t match the confidence I was trying to instill. The encounter with Kade had rattled us both, but for Fiona, it was deeper. His cryptic words about the darkness inside her, about powers she didn’t fully understand, were taking their toll. An

Chapter 73Unseen ThreatQuinton’s POVThe tension in the air was thick as Fiona and I stood there in the aftermath of Lucian’s sudden retreat. I could still feel the adrenaline coursing through my veins, my body on high alert, every instinct screaming to protect her. But what had happened back there? Fiona’s power—it was like nothing I’d ever seen. The raw energy that had erupted from her was dangerous, wild, and unpredictable.I glanced at her, her hands still trembling, her eyes wide as she stared at them like they didn’t belong to her. She was terrified—of herself, of what she was capable of.“Are you okay?” I asked, stepping closer, my voice soft.She shook her head slightly, her breath uneven. “I… I didn’t mean to. I don’t even know what I did.”I placed a hand on her shoulder, trying to steady her. “You saved us, Fiona. You did what you had to.”Her eyes met mine, filled with doubt. “But what if I lose control again? What if… what if next time, I hurt you?”The fear in her voic

Chapter 75Shadow of BetrayalQuinton’s POVThe moment Gabriel led us deeper into the woods, I felt the tension in my chest rise. Something wasn’t right. Everything about this situation screamed danger, but Fiona and I had no other choice. Lukas had the upper hand, and this was our best chance of stopping him. Still, I couldn’t shake the feeling that Gabriel was leading us into a trap.“Stay close,” I whispered to Fiona, my hand resting protectively on her lower back. She nodded, her eyes sharp and focused, but I could feel the nervous energy radiating off her.Gabriel walked ahead of us, moving with a fluid grace that unnerved me. He was too calm, too collected. The forest was still eerily quiet, and it felt like the trees themselves were watching us, waiting to see what would unfold.I didn’t trust him. Not for a second.“Are you sure about this?” Fiona whispered, her voice barely audible.I hesitated before answering. “No. But we don’t have much of a choice, do we?”Her eyes flicke

Chapter 77Tangled FatesFiona's POVThe air crackled with lingering energy as I collapsed into Quinton’s embrace, the force of the power I’d just unleashed still thrumming through my veins. My head swirled, a strange combination of exhaustion and exhilaration. The stones in the clearing had responded to me in a way I hadn’t expected—like they had been waiting for me, for this moment. “What just happened?” I whispered, trying to make sense of the chaos that had unfolded. Quinton held me tightly, his heartbeat slowing as we stood in the eerie silence that followed the blast. The forest around us was still, as if the earth itself was holding its breath, waiting for what would come next.“I don’t know,” he admitted, his breath warm against my ear. “But whatever you did… it worked.”I looked up at him, my eyes searching his for any reassurance. “This power—I didn’t even know I had it. It’s like… it’s like it’s growing, and I don’t understand it.”Quinton’s gaze softened, his hand cuppin

Chapter 79In The ShadowsFiona's POVThe cave’s air was thick with tension, as if the forest outside held its breath, waiting. I knelt beside Quinton, trying to stem the bleeding from his wounds. His skin was pale, far too pale, and his breaths were shallow. My heart clenched as I worked, pressing torn pieces of my shirt to his chest, wishing I knew more about healing."You’ll be okay," I whispered, though my voice trembled. I had to keep it together. For him.Quinton’s eyes fluttered open, glazed with pain but still sharp with concern. "We don’t have time to stay here long.""Shh. Just rest," I insisted, but even as I said it, I knew he was right. That stranger wasn’t done with us, not by a long shot. The fight was far from over, and the way the stranger had looked at me, like I was some kind of... weapon, sent a chill down my spine.I glanced toward the cave entrance, half-expecting to see a shadow creeping toward us. The night outside was pitch black, and though we had some time t
