Chapter Unseen threads
Everly's steps were tinged with a sense of unease as she made her way toward her apartment. Natalie's ominous words lingered in her mind like a haunting melody, casting shadows of doubt and uncertainty over her thoughts.
As she approached her apartment door, a sudden impact sent shockwaves through her body. Darkness enveloped her vision, and before she could react, the world around her faded into oblivion.
"I told you, you would pay."
The words echoed in her mind, accompanied by a familiar voice that chilled her to the bone. Natalie's presence was undeniable, and fear clenched at Everly's heart as she struggled to regain her senses.
Meanwhile, Alexander's footsteps quickened as he reached Everly's apartment building. His instincts were on high alert, a sense of urgency gnawing at him. Something was amiss, and he couldn't shake the unease that had settled within him.
But as he entered the apartment, a sense of dread settled over him like a heavy shroud. Everly was nowhere to be found, her absence a stark reminder of the danger they faced.
His mind raced, piecing together the puzzle as he retraced her steps in his mind. The chilling realization struck him—the Eclipse Clan had taken her, and Natalie's ominous threat had become a horrifying reality.
The realization fueled a fire within him, igniting a determination to reclaim Everly from the clutches of the shadows. His clan's loyalty and unity would be their strength in the battle ahead, but the stakes had never been higher.
As Alexander's gaze swept over the apartment, his fists clenched with a mixture of anger and resolve. The fight against the darkness that threatened their world had escalated, and Everly's life hung in the balance.
He knew that he couldn't afford to falter, that he had to confront the enemy head-on. Everly was his beloved, a beacon of light in the darkness, and he would stop at nothing to bring her back—to unravel the unseen threads that had ensnared them both and to ensure that love triumphed over the forces that sought to tear them apart.
