Chapter 415

~Snow’s POV~

Ella’s expression faltered slightly, but she quickly masked it with a cold glare. "Dramatic much?"

I shook my head, forcing myself to stay calm. "It’s not drama, Ella. Vera wants Zara dead."

Ella went completely still. Something flickered in her eyes—something sharp, like a kind of recognition.

I saw it instantly. She knew.

"You said... Vera?" Ella whispered, her voice suddenly hoarse.

I nodded. "Yes. You know her?"

Ella’s hands trembled slightly. "She attacked me."

My blood ran cold. "What?"

Ella swallowed hard, her face paling as if something dark had just clicked in her mind. "That witch... she attacked me back then which cause my injuries and the reason I came to youir house this last time. It was all Vera."

"Hold up. Why didn’t Zara tell me?"

"Well, she knew your mate as Vani and then... Wait, that Vera scoundrel. I never could quite place the memories that seemed to be missing and why, but at a time in your place, Vani always tried coming to myaid; even when I was with someone, she would barge in. I didn’t quite understand what was going on until now."

"That is?"

"All I can recall is me talking to her about it while silently warning her to stay in her place. I cannot recall the details after that. Vera must have done something to my memories. I never saw her do it, but I always had a feeling... And now that you say this—"

Ella gasped, her hands flying to her temples as she stumbled back a step. Judging from how she held her head and tightened her eyelids, a wave of pain crashed over her.

I rushed forward. "Ella?"

She squeezed her eyes shut, her body tensing. "It’s her," she whispered, her voice tight with pain. "She... she was always the one. I saw her before."

I grabbed her shoulders. "Where? How?"

Ella’s breathing was uneven as she blinked rapidly, her memories seemingly rearranging themselves. "In your house. I saw her in your damn house, Snow!"

A chill crawled down my spine. "What do you mean?"

Ella’s fingers dug into her temples. "She—Vera, or Vani—she was the one causing Zara’s nightmares. She was trying to steal her powers at night."

My chest tightened. "The astral projection?"

I had dismissed Zara’s concerns so many times. I thought she was just exhausted at first or that she was overthinking things. But no—she had been right all along.

And even though we couldn’t find a solution, I allowed the cause into my home.

Vera had been feeding off her. Draining her.

I clenched my fists. "That bitch..."

Ella’s eyes burned with fury as the headache slowly eased. She exhaled shakily before looking up at me, her expression dark.
