The Whitfield descendant revealed the truth of the curse. Lyra's banishment had not only been a punishment but also an attempt to suppress her power. The Whitfields had feared her abilities, knowing that she could one day rise to challenge their control over the town. The curse was a binding spell, designed to keep her power dormant and to punish anyone who sought to awaken it.
Julian realized the full extent of the danger he was in. He had stumbled upon a secret that the townspeople would kill to protect. And Sabrina... he now understood her warnings. She wasn't just the guardian of the house; she was the guardian of the curse itself.
