I rolled my eyes, but I couldn’t help the warmth that spread through me at her words.

“It’s not all sunshine and roses, Sienna. There’s still so much danger, so much uncertainty. But… in that moment, none of that mattered. It was just us. And it was perfect.”

Sienna’s expression softened, and she reached out to squeeze my hand.

“I’m glad you had that, Amelia. You deserve to feel loved and cherished, especially after everything you’ve been through. And if anyone deserves two ridiculously hot men fawning over them, it’s you.”

I smiled, feeling a lump form in my throat.

“Thanks, Sienna. That means a lot.”

She grinned, her playful demeanor returning in an instant.

“But don’t think this means I’m done interrogating you. I still need to know every single detail. Like, who was better? Aidan or Finn? And don’t you dare say they were both equally amazing. I need specifics.”

“You’re impossible, you know that?” I burst out laughing, shaking my head.

“And you love me for it,” she shot back, winking.

I sighed, leaning back against the pillows.

“Alright, fine. If you really want to know… Finn is intense. Like, completely overwhelming in the best way possible. He’s so focused, so passionate. And Aidan… he’s more tender, more patient. But they both… they both know exactly what they’re doing. And together? It was like… I don’t even know how to describe it. It was like they balanced each other out, and I was just caught in the middle of this incredible storm.”

“An incredible storm that made you scream,” Sienna teased.

“Unfortunately, I won’t get to scream for a while…”

“Why do you say so?”

“Aidan’s sister called, she’s the one behind everything, the refinery fire, and your kidnap that reminds me how were you kidnapped?”

“I came back from work and then when I got to the apartment door, I felt a sharp object … like a needle, I got dizzy, when I woke up, I found myself tied to a chair. When they realized I had regained consciousness, they forced me to drink something and then I became unconscious again until you came.”

“I’m so sorry you had to go through this because of me…” I said as I gave Sienna a tight hug.

“You don’t have to blame yourself for anything,” she said as she stroked my hair.

Sienna and I talked for hours before sleeping. The dream came, vivid, eerie, in a misty forest.

“Amelia…” a voice called, soft and haunting, echoing through the trees.

“Alma?” I whispered, my voice trembling. “Is that… you?”

“Yes, Amelia. It’s me. I don’t have much time, so you must listen carefully.”

“What is it? What’s wrong?”

Alma’s expression grew more serious, her voice urgent.

“You must prevent the prophecy from coming to pass. If it does, it will mean the end of everything, Aidan, Finn, you… everyone you love. Vera is only the beginning. There is something farworse coming, something that has been set in motion long before you were born.”

My breath caught in my throat, a cold dread settling in my chest.

“What prophecy? What are you talking about?”

Alma’s eyes filled with sorrow, and she reached out as if to touch me, though her hand passed through me like a ghost.

“You will find the answers in the past. The witch Fergus spoke of… she holds the knowledge you need. But beware, Amelia. The path ahead is dangerous, and not everyone is who they seem. Trust your instincts and remember… the choices you make will determine the fate of us all.”
