**AVeryr*

After my conversation with Draven, he imparted upona powerful spell. A part ofwas eager to put it to

while another part hesitated in fear. What if | am with egg? The consequences could be dire if King James is

destined mate. He may attempt to harm the unborn child or, worse yet, eliminate The Trio.

spell once more when we venture to Talos. The stakes are high, and the fate of our mission hangs in the balance.

I lingered behind, allowing myself a moment of solitude to let the enchantment flowing withinsettle. Draven

had

emphasized the importance of staying rooted while casting spells, drawing from his own experience as a victim

of his

town’s curse.

The others

looked atwith bewilderment. “I caught a strange scent near our eastern boundary,” | confessed tically.

Draven furrows his eyebrows, his expression filled with concern. “It wasn’t there when | was with you. Did you go

further

into the woods?”

“Yes, | needed sextra peace to center myself after our spar,” | reply, trying to mask the truth. In reality, we

Cassius growls, his frustration evident. “This is exactly why | insisted that my brothers and Draven stay with you

at all

times.”

Draven raises his hand, silencing Cassius’s anger. “Describe it,” he demands.

“It was like Rory’s, but darker and more sinister,” | confess, my voice trembling. “It was almost rotten, like the

basement where the Hags once tried to end my life.”

“I must go to the basement,” Draven declares firmly.

“We can sneak you there after school,” Clint offers.

Draven looks atand says, “Avery, this could be a crucial link to uncovering who the rats are, or even a direct

connection to Cora. We must strengthen Naga’s boundaries if Cora is nearby.”

Feeling perplexed, | ask, “Can | sense evil now that the Ravens have helped me?”

Draven shrugs and replies, “Perhaps, but regardless, we can use this newfound ability of yours to our advantage.

Besides,

this is all the more reason to pay a visit to Nightshade.”

Rory suddenly screams as she rushes into the living room, throwing down her bags in her wake, “No, no you

can’t! Alpha Warwick will kill you.”

| stride over to her and envelop her in a tight embrace. | sense her heart racing, but as our hug lingers, her pulse

gradually slows. Locking eyes with her, | declare, “Rory, we will not go as ourselves. Our true identities must

remain

concealed and our flames must stay hidden.”

Draven nods in agreement, acknowledging Avery's unparalleled ability to conceal her true nature. “Avery can

blend in

better than any witch or warlock I've ever known. There may be traitors within your pack aligning with Cora, and

we must

uncover their identities.”

With a smirk on his face, he rises from his seat and strides towards us, his presence commanding attention. With

a gentle

kiss on my cheek, he then turns to Rory. “The bond between us is unbreakable, and | would never allow Avery to

“What?” Rory asks, her voice barely above a whisper.

A sense of relief washes overas they share a moment. | join the Ton the couch, enveloping them in a
