The moment Damien’s words left his mouth, the world around me seemed to tilt, as if the very foundation beneath my feet had cracked open.

“He might not have realized it yet, but he did mark his fated mage.”

I didn’t move. I didn’t breathe.

Ava.

Not her sister. Not some stranger I had convinced myself to search for, Not some faceless figure of prophecy, meant to shape the fate of this war.

It was her.

I stared at her, watching the way her body went rigid, the way her shoulders locked like she was bracing for impact. Like she was preparing for a blow that hadn’t even landed yet–but she already felt it coming.

And then I turned to Damien.

The bastard.

There was satisfaction in his expression, a gleam in his dark eyes that made my blood burn. He had known this whole time. Every smug glance, every cryptic word–it had all been leading to this moment.

And I had been blind.

The realization hit me like a punch to the gut, knocking the air from my lungs.

Ava was my

fated mate.

And I had cast her out. I had shattered her.

A bitter taste filled my mouth, something sharp and self–destructive curling in my gut. I wanted to lash out. I wanted to take Damien apart piece by piece, but I forced myself to stay still, to keep my breathing steady, to not let him see how deeply he had just sunk his claws into my mind.

Damien tilted his head, watching us like a man who had just played his final, winning move. Then he spoke again, his voice smooth, dripping with cruel amusement.

“I believe it is time for you to meet your sister, Little Dove.”

The world seemed to stop.

I watched the color drain from Ava’s face. I saw something flicker in her eyes–something raw, something vulnerable.

I knew that look. I had seen it before. Right before I had thrown her out. Right before I had ripped her apart with my rejection.

And Damien had seen it too. He smiled like a predator, like a man who knew exactly how deep he was cutting into her.

“She is right here in Italy with me,” He continued casually, as if he wasn’t unraveling everything she thought she knew about her own existence, “In fact, I asked her to be on standby. All you have to do is say yes, and I’ll have her brought in. I will introduce you. She’s been eager to reveal herself, so… two birds with one stone, right?”
