*~Young Lilith's POV~*
Seeing Marcus somehow calmed me down.The rage that had been coiled inside me for days eased, not entirely gone but quiter.
I don't even know what to do anymore. I can't go back to the Wolf Academy. I can't attend classes with my peers like I used to. I can't even step outside without feeling the eyes of the world searching for me. Gosh… I just want this to be over already. I want to go back to my old life—even though deep down, I know that life is gone. Forever.
Because I'm no longer just Hazel. I've become something else. Something the world must not see.
A wolf and a witch.
The words feel alien on my tongue, as if saying them out loud might curse me further. It doesn't even sound real, yet here I am—living proof of the impossible. And now, I must face Dahlia again tonight. Face her and whatever twisted ritual she plans next. I can only pray this is the final stage because I don't think I can endure much more.
