---- "Oh, for fucks sake, Laziel, dont mess with me!" Nyx nearly twitched, forcing herself to breathe.


    She had to admitwhen it came to negotiating with their brother, Lyra was the best...


    though Nyx would never admit that to her face.


    Look, we need to get there fast.


    Amara is Uncle Beofs mate.


    Dont do it for medo it for him, so we can n how to break the news to Maras father." "The Regents were at the pce and left for the De La Croix fief with the grandparents." Laziel dropped the bomb with zero warning no softening the blow, no buildup.


    "WHAT?" Nyx instantly knew things were far worse than she had imagined.


    They had to leave.


    Now.


    And they had to get there first.

    The older sorceress remained asleep in her bed.


    With luck, when she woke up, she wouldnt remember the trauma of being locked inside her own mindor being "parasited" by another being.


    Nyx decided to find Amara herself.


    There was no more time for deception.


    However, just as she stepped into the hallway leading to the office, she heard hurried footsteps She knew exactly who they belonged to.


    The moment the knocks hit the door, shemanded them to enter.


    "Nyx, did you already change?" Amara walked in, eyes wide, still not confessing who her aplices werebut Beof wasnt stupid.


    The lycan closed the door behind them and gave the Selenian a deep, knowing stare.


    "Just as I thought..."
