CHAPTER 25: THE MYSTERYA cold breeze hit Arianna's skin as soon as she stepped out of the taxi. She glanced at her phone and then at the large café in front of her, confirming it was the same address Alberto had given her.As she entered, everything felt different. She wasn't sure if coming here was a bad idea or if she should just listen to Jace and stay away from Alberto, he might have his reasons for that.But the curious cat in her wouldn't let her be. Her eyes scanned the room until they landed on Alberto, who was sitting by the window.

CHAPTER 23: DIRTY LITTLE SECRET Arianna took her time as she stepped outside, where she spotted Veronica approaching from a distance."Anna, where have you been?" Veronica hurried over, her concern evident."We were worried sick about you, thinking something terrible might have happened again," she added."I'm sorry.

Nessa appeared, accompanied by Dorothy."I found her wandering around. She got lost," Veronica explained."Oops! So gla

She's a bedwetter who can't seem to get through the night without wetting herself. Only her sister Ludo and their parents know about it.After changing her bedspread, Ludo burst in."Naomi, you won't believe this!" she exclaimed, rushing over to show her what was happening on the blog, and Naomi gasped.The bloody dance challenge is trending, and students are recreating the dance while pouring animal blood on themselves.There are already over 100 videos on the blog, and more are still being upl

The academy was filled with noise and fear again that morning because another horrible discovery had been made not far from the training grounds, and hundreds of students had already gathered around the scene while whispering among themselves with pale faces and trembling voices.Bodies were scattered across the grass just like the last time, and every single one of them looked exactly the same with pale skin and empty lifeless eyes as if something had completely drained the life out of them.Some students were covering their mouths while others looked away because the sight was too disturbing for them to keep staring at.The air around the academy felt heavy and tense.Everyone knew what this meant.The evil spirit had killed again.Master Damon stood near the bodies while looking very serious, and Kael was standing beside him with his arms crossed while carefully studying every detail around them.Neither of them spoke

Elara’s lips parted under the force of his kiss, a soft, shaky sound escaping as his tongue brushed hers. She arched toward him instinctively, pressing closer, but there was a new tremor in her body now excitement laced with something more fragile.Varian pulled back just enough to look at her. His thumb traced the flushed curve of her cheek.“You’re shaking,” he murmured, voice low and rough but suddenly gentler.She swallowed, eyes flicking away for a second before meeting his again.“I’ve… never done this before,” she admitted quietly. The words hung between them, vulnerable and bare. “Not with anyone.”His expression shifted, then something deeper, almost reverent. He didn’t pull away. Instead his hand slid to the nape of her neck, fingers threading into her hair as he held her gaze.“I know, so we go slow,” he said simply. “As slow as you need. You tell me to stop, we stop. No questions.”Elara nodded, breath catch
