Chapter 286
"So, you're tellingthat what we thought was a premonition... was actually one of Nyx's memories?" Raven
stares at me, eyes wide in disbelief.
It's just after dinner and we are in my room just chatting and catching up. Aspen is playing with her dolls on the
carpet floor and from the looks of it, she isn't about to go to bed anytsoon.
| don't mind though, because she had a late nap tin the afternoon and when that happens, it screws with her
bedtime. Funny thing is, no matter how late or early she sleeps, she always wakes up at the stime.
| did go back to training, but nothing really happened. | wasn't able to call the scepter to me. There were times |
felt it. Right on the edge, but every t| almost had it, it disappeared. The sthing happened over and over
again until | finally gave up when evening cand there was still no progress.
| had dinner with Aspen and Martha. Raven joined us soon after, looking so much better than she had that
morning. She looked lively and well rested. It was a relief seeing her no longer looking like the walking dead.
After having dinner, Martha retired to her room, while Raven joinedand Aspen in ours. So here we are now.
"Yes," | answer her, bringing the pillow to my chest. "I still don't understand why she letbelieve that it was a
premonition for the longest time. But then again, she said that she wantedto discover things on my own."
| know I've said this countless times, but honestly, it's frustrating. | wish she could just telleverything all at
once instead of feeding it toin bits.
Raven stays silent for a while before speaking. "So, Xena and Kaden almost killed her. Why?"
| shrug. "I don't know."

"It's just... weird. That Xena would willingly try to kill her own sister. And be okay with her mate pushing her to do
it." Raven shakes her head.
| don't say anything because I've been asking myself the sthing. Why are two sisters willing to destroy each
other?
She continues, "Why do Xena and Kaden want Nyx gone so badly? Something is off. It's not adding up."
| lean back against the headboard, her words sinking into me.
"You know..." | murmur, eyes distant. "I never thought about it that way. | always assumed it was just Xena and
Nyx. But you're right-maybe it's not just about them. Maybe Raden's in the thick of it, too."
Maybe it's Kaden and Xena versus Nyx. And that changes everything. Why would two mates unite against her?
Why would someone who's basically her brother-in-law
encourage murder?
Is Kaden just evil... or is there something we don't know?
"Has Nyx ever talked about him?" Raven asks. "How he and Xena met? What their relationship was like? What
kind of person he is?"
Each question lands heavy. | furrow my brows, realizing I've never even asked.
"No," | admit. "But then again... | never thought to ask. | was so focused on Xena and Nyx."
"Maybe it's tyou did." Raven's
voice softens. "I think there's
something more going on.
Something deeper than just a sibling rivalry. There's a missing piece to this puzzle."
I sigh, knowing very well that this isn't
just about asking densa

"What is it, sweetheart?" | ask, half panicked.
She bolts up and runs toward the door, practically vibrating with excitement. "Uncle Alec is here!"
| pause. Raven and | exchange a quick glance, then turn to the door.
