Chapter 48

• Hunter
• Frustration coursed through my veins like a wildfire. I had let Lucia slip through my fingers again, and this time, the stakes were higher than ever. My heart ached with the knowledge that Amelia and our son, were under her control. I couldn’t forgive myself for allowing it to happen.
• Jace and William had been by my side on the relentless search for any trace of Lucia. We searched the woods, interrogated informants, and even followed whispers that led us to the darkest corners of the forest. Yet, Lucia remained elusive, like a shadow in the night. Her taunting laughter echoed in my mind, a cruel reminder of her power over us.
