Find Him

Valentina stepped through the shimmering portal, her determination burning fiercely as the cold air of Lucian's castle wrapped around her.

She would find Lucian, demand answers, and end this torturous silence once and for all.

Her senses heightened as she looked around. The castle was eerily quiet as expected. She clenched her fists, her magic simmering just beneath the surface.

Then, a voice broke the silence.

"Well, well, look who just showed up." The words dripped with smug amusement, and Valentina froze, recognizing the voice instantly. Chloe.

She turned slowly, and there, leaning casually against the archway, was Chloe. Her lips curled into a sly smirk, her arms crossed as she eyed Valentina with mockery and disdain.

"What are you doing here, Valentina?" Chloe asked, her voice smooth but laced with venom. "You must really be desperate to chase after someone who clearly doesn't want to be found."
