Chapter 15

• Vanessa’s POV
• After bidding farewell to Caroline, I tread barefoot along the street toward our hideout. I pray neither Alfie nor Amelia awaits me there; facing them would only compound my troubles. Despite the ache in my feet, my weary mind guides me effortlessly to our sanctuary in less than a minute.
• Nestled deep within the heart of Blood Moon, our secret hideout awaits—a place where Amelia, Alfie, and I once sought refuge and joy. Here, the air carries whispers of laughter and the warmth of camaraderie from our carefree youth, when tattoos didn't spell chaos.
