Chapter 74

I was back to the place where it all started. Where I first met Cyrius, how he showed me everyone I loved died. It was painful, and I was hopeless. And then he appeared.

“I’ve shown you, your future— how it will end. Resisting against me, you know you can’t win, Nirvana. Come and join me, and see how your future changes, just the way you’ve ever dreamed, having family and kids—”

I felt extreme fear again as I watched the future, losing hope. “Over my dead body! You can stop spreading your tentacles, asshole. You won’t get what you want. Even if you will kill everyone I love, I will find a way to kill you.”

“You had your chance.”

“Fuck you!” I jolted to sit, my heart galloping in my chest. I realized I was still in the vehicle, and we hadn’t arrived at Inverness.

“Whoa.” I thought it came from Kailin.

“What’s wrong?” I saw their worried face.

“You must be dreaming. You just cursed in your sleep,” Knight said.
