-Maya's POV-

I was so tired of this. Tired of the fear, the uncertainty, the constant looking over my shoulder. I wanted to scream disappear. But I couldn't. Not with the twins, not with everything that was happening. to break something, to just

Ivan. That name was like poison in my ears. I wanted to wipe him off the face of the earth. I wanted to watch him suffer, to feel the same pain he inflicted on others. My wolf was restless, pacing inside me, eager to unleash her fury. But I had to hold her back. Losing control wasn't an option. Not now.

Riley's voice broke through my thoughts. "We still haven't come up with anything tangible," she said, her voice laced with frustration.

I turned to face her, my gaze meeting hers. Natalia was running a hand through her hair, her face etched with worry.

"Well, right now, I don't know why he's going after Nate," Natalia said, her voice low. "Why not just stick to Damon? Why involve an innocent kid?"

I felt a cold rage building inside me. How could anyone be so heartless? How could someone target a child?

"He wants to watch us suffer," I said, my voice barely a whisper. "He wants to break us."

Everyone looked at me, their faces a mixture of shock and fear.

"He wants to see two generations wiped out," I continued, my voice steady now. "Damon was responsible for his parents' death. Ivan witnessed it. This is his revenge." Sarah, who had been quiet until now, spoke up. "Two generations?" Her voice was small.

I nodded. "He wants to scar Nate for life, just like he was scarred. He is a monster and I was just too blind to see it."

I couldn't believe I was saying these things out loud. It felt like I was living in a nightmare.

Natalia reached out and took my hand. "This isn't your fault, Amaya," she whispered softly. "He played us all. We all liked him, trusted him. None of us saw this coming." I tried to smile, but it felt forced. "I know," I managed to say.
