Nobela ni Mila

SINCLAIRShe was here in flesh and blood. The last living Eserai.When my elders told me about an Eserai at first, I was sure they had gone mad. It was impossible. My seer confirmed that the Eserais had been wiped out by my father’s reckless drinking from them, and his abuse.But the moment I saw her, I knew. Fuck, she was gorgeous. I knew it was part of the curse, a way to make cursed creatures like us defile them and send us back to square one. It would be torture drinking from her perfect skin. I almost couldn’t tear my eyes away from her pulsing neck. The urge to feed was so strong, even now, the next morning.I’d been pacing up and down my chambers since last night, trying to devise a plan so I could feed and not fuck this up in the process. I’ve depended on the rituals for years. They’ve helped calm my beast, Chaos, but they also cause me a great amount of pain and strip the sorcerers of too much power.This is the only choice.Chaos was pacing with me.

But it wasn’t the chilly night air outside. It was the chill of polished tiles underneath my body as I laid on my side on the floor. I couldn’t move my arms.My head throbbed at the same time as my pulse. What’s happening? I slowly blinked my eyes open and the blurry image of thick, jet black boots came into focus. I realized my hands were tightly cuffed

LYRAThe email didn’t make sense. I stared at it a few more times, certain there had to be a mistake or some sort of glitch that would disappear if I had to blinked hard enough.Anxiety had me pulling out my phone for the umpteenth time to read through the email, word for word to make sure it wasn’t sent to the wrong email address. I swallowed against the lump in my throat and blinked a few times, trying to make sense of what I was seeing. My student loans had been cleared, and just as much as I read the emails, and scrolled through my credit accounts a thousand times to be sure. That amount was nowhere near the figures in both of my accounts. I didn’t know how to make due with this news, so I hung the straps of my tote bag over my shoulder and hurried towards the double doors of the restaurant I worked at. “Where are you going, Lyra?!” Sammie barked. “Your shift ends in thirty minutes!”“Cover for me!” I yelled back her. “Please!”I did not wait for her reply before whirling aro
