📖 Chapter 19: Sister of Fire
Part 1: The Stranger in My Skin
She moved like me.
Smiled like me.
She even laughed with Liam using my voice.
And no one noticed the difference.
Not Marissa.
Not Caleb.
Not even the Elders.
I watched through glass, hidden by an old glamour spell my grandmother left me in her journal. I wasn’t supposed to use it—but desperate people do desperate things.
Aurelia sat at my old vanity, brushing her hair, humming the lullaby Liam loved.
He climbed into her lap.
I whispered, “That’s not your son.”
But she kissed his hair and whispered back:
“He is now.”

Part 2: The Fading
I tried to speak to Caleb.
Tried to reach him.
But when he looked at me, confusion clouded his eyes.
“I just saw you upstairs,” he said. “In the garden. Wearing that blue dress.”
I hadn’t owned that dress in years.
“You’re tired,” he added. “You look... different.”
He touched my cheek.
And pulled his hand back, like something burned him.
“You’re cold,” he murmured.
Then he walked away.
Toward her.
Every step he took toward Aurelia—
I felt something inside me dim.
I didn’t just feel invisible anymore.
I felt forgotten.

Part 3: The Marked One
I ran to the ritual chamber.
Pulled off my cloak.
Stared at my reflection.
My wolf mark—once silver and proud—was flickering. Fading.
That mark bound me to this Pack.
To this bloodline.
To him.
And it was disappearing.
I screamed.
Clawed at my skin.
Because if I lost that mark… I lost everything.
Suddenly, the mirror rippled.
Aurelia’s face appeared beside mine.
She didn’t speak.
She just smiled.
And pointed.
I looked down—
And saw her mark glowing stronger than ever.
She hadn’t stolen my life.
She was erasing mine.

Part 4: Burn or Break
I returned to the Cold Room.
Empty.
The glass coffin shattered.
Only a single feather remained.
Black as midnight. Wet with blood.
“She’s taken her final shape,” a voice whispered from behind me.
It was the eldest Elder.
“She’s made her claim,” she said. “And the soul she touched first will anchor her.”
“Liam,” I gasped.
“You have one chance,” the Elder said.
“To save him?”
“To fight her.”
“How?”
She opened her palm. Revealed a flame. White-hot. Silent.
“This fire recognizes only the true soul.”
“What if I burn too?”
She looked away.
> “Then you were never the real one to begin with.”
