    "And you did the ritual yourself. But I have not allowed her to be my –" Darcy said.

    "Now, remember when I told you to let Azura stay with your son for a while? And you gave your approval? That’s what I needed your approval for," The gray woman uttered, not letting Darcy know that her approval meant nothing. The ritual didn’t need it like that.

    Darcy sighed. "Anyway, I just don’t want to think about it. I just want to get rid of Hnie. And would Azura be able to help Emmet? Because remember you said, he will forget to breathe," Darcy uttered, realizing time was ticking for Emmet.

    "You better believe my daughter would do anything for him. However, there has been a little bit of a problem. Remember those purple flowers?" she asked.

    "Yes, I remember the runes world. My sons, Kaye and Maximus, talked about it once. And I know that Kaye has been looking for those roses for a very long time. However, that world is gone now. So what are you talking about?" Darcy asked, confused about how the runes world could be rted to the issue they were discussing.

    "I had thought about sending Emmet to the runes world until the curse had passed. Then he would have survived. Because once Hnie is dying, taking herst breaths, the energy around her will be very toxic, and it will affect Emmet. But now that the runes world is gone, I don’t know where to send your son," she said.

    Darcy’s heart started to beat louder than ever.

    "So what are we going to do now?" Darcy asked.

    "Let’s just hope we find a way. For now, just focus on the mate full moon. Make them ept each other as quickly as possible." Darcy had no clue that she would meet another hurdle in her way. However, she was certain something would be done about it. Darcy ended the call and sighed.

    "You must be tired," Larry said, walking up to Darcy with a ss of wine. She sat back on the couch and leaned her head against it.

    "I am," she replied, raising her hand to ept the ss. As soon as she took a sip, she grimaced.

    "Life has never been so bitter," she added.

    "Why don’t you give it a rest? Let your sons know what they need to do to survive." He fell silent when she shot him a quick nce.

    "As if you don’t know my sons. They would never harm anyone for anything. They would rather die than let her suffer. They’ve be so foolish they forgot they need to live too. But they will still put her life before their own. No, I can’t leave it all to them. And I can’t quit now. I’ve done so much my whole life, and if I give up now, the Moon Goddess wins. And I don’t want that. I don’t want to believe I did anything wrong. This is all the Moon Goddess’s fault. Why would she punish her own children for just one night? Does she even feel bad for us?" Darcy asked. She still didn’t understand that actions have consequences."

    "But it’ll be fine now. You’ve already found new mates for your sons," Larry uttered.

    "The ritual for a fake fated bond requires the person to already have a fated mate they’ve epted and marked. Only then can someone else form a fake bond with them. So I had to do it while Hnie was still alive. It’ll help because once she dies, the pain of losing a mate will be overwhelming. But instead of breaking down, they’ll findfort in the arms of their new mates. That’s why these bonds are important. They’ll feel drawn to them instead of chasing the hope of another mate or bing weak from the death of their fated mate," Darcy said as if she had already thought through everything. Now, she was just waiting for the new mates to feel the bond so the sons could have mates once Hnie dies. And then, there would be no questions. Everyone would think the Moon Goddess had already given them new mates.

    "Urs lied to you all these years about Hnie being the daughter of her fated mate?" Larry asked.

    Darcy clenched her fist around the ss.

    "Yeah, it seems she’s be truly evil. She hid the truth—that she loved her daughter because she knew I’d start to suspect it," Darcy groaned too, looking away and shaking her head.

    "But don’t worry. I know the truth about her daughter now, and soon everyone else will too. I just need to call Kesha and ask her to somehow push Hnie into the water." Darcy grabbed her phone and started typing a message to Kesha. She was the one Darcy trusted with her whole heart. She’d do anything Darcy asked.

    As for Azura, since she was the daughter of the Grey Woman, Darcy was starting to feel strangely drawn to her. Still, she could be dangerous. Her mother had been powerful and dangerous too. So Darcy needed to be careful around her.

    And just then, she got a call from Kesha.

    "I got your text. What is that supposed to mean? I hope you’re not asking me to drown her in front of everyone." Of course she asked, she had no idea Hnie couldn’t drown unless her tail was cut off.

    "No, she’ll be fine. Just make it look like you’re angry with her, not like you knew her secret," Darcy said, noticing Kesha went quiet for a moment.

    "What do you mean? What secret? Is she hiding something from everyone?" Kesha asked, sounding intrigued almost instantly.

    "You’ll find out on the day of the Mate Full Moon. Just make sure you’re ready, there’ll be more than one good thing happening that night," Darcy said, smiling to herself. She was finally able to n the perfect attack on Hnie and her mother, something that might get them off her back for a while, or maybe forever.

    "Then count me in. I’ll do my best to make it look like just an outburst," Kesha replied with a smile, already excited to deal with this woman named Hnie, someone she believed didn’t even deserve to stand in the same circle as them. Little did Darcy know, Kesha knew it all along.
