-Ava’s POV-

I should have been terrified.

I was supposed to feel panicked, confused, and overwhelmed by the situation. But strangely, I wasn’t. First, we ended up in a strange place that didn’t feel quite right. Then, without warning, we were thrust into what could only be described as a void. It was a disorienting experience, and in that split second, before it all happened, I was terrified, but then something else washed over me.

A grim acceptance.

I realized my life could never just be simple, never just calm. After all, I had a fate predestine me with an asshole, and then a second chance with someone new someone who brought more chaos and drama into my life than I thought possible. Now, both of us had been thrown into the unknown, a place that I couldn’t even begin to understand.

So, I wasn’t scared. No, I was just… tired. Tired of everything, tired of fighting it all, and most of all, I just wanted to sleep.

“Are you okay?”

Grayson’s voice pulled me from my thoughts, and I turned to look at him. He was as composed as ever, his face a mask of calm. “Yes,” I replied, though I didn’t feel quite the same way.

I glanced around us, noticing the darkness that surrounded us like a thick fog. “Shouldn’t there be some light we’re supposed to walk towards?” I sighed, the exhaustion creeping into my voice

“What light?” Grayson asked, clearly confused.

“I might have seen it in a movie,” I muttered. “You know, when people are thrown into places like this, there’s always a light They say it’s some sort of beacon. If someone or some force is going to drag us into this place, they could at least get the details right. I mean, come on, mysterious force,” I called out to the void, “get your facts straight!”

And then, as if on cue, the light came. But it wasn’t the gentle beacon I expected. No. It was more like a sudden, violent force that hit me full speed, sending me flying backward with the impact of a thousand needles. I screamed, pain coursing through me as I struggled to get back to my feet.

Grayson’s voice cut through the haze of pain. “You’re awake.”

I blinked, my vision clearing, and I realized something had changed. I was no longer in that void. No, I was back in the same spot I’d woken up in before.

What the hell was happening?

“My wolf is gone again,” Grayson said, sounding unusually detached. “So you’ll have to reach out psychically and call for someone to get us out of here. We need to start moving.”

I froze. No. No, no, no. We’d already had this conversation. I ignored him, turning to the air, my voice rising in frustration. “Whatever sick joke you think you’re playing, it’s not funny. Let me out of here.”

“Who are you talking to?” Grayson snapped from behind me, and I turned to see him standing there, a flash of annoyance in his eyes. Send the message.”

I took a step back, shaking my head. “This is all in my head. I need to get the hell out of here. And you’re not Grayson.”

“You’re right,” came the cold reply.

And then, just like that, everything faded again, the world blurring before my eyes. I was back on that street, the one I had been before, where the houses all looked the same. I turned, and there she was. The other version of me. Her smile was full of satisfaction.

“Did you miss me?”

A surge of anger flooded through me. “What is this? Where am I? Where’s Grayson?”

She looked at me with an almost bored expression. “You don’t have a lot of qualities I admire, but that sharp mind of yours has always been one of them. So you figure out what’s happening.

I stared at her, feeling more lost than ever. I have no clue what’s going on.”
