~VaelaAdria’s aged hands are searing hot as they clasp either side of my face.My gaze focuses on her one milky eye, before my vision goes cloudy, and I'm staring into an ivory mist. I jolt back, but her sharp fingernails dig into my skin, holding me in place."Calm girl. Accept the process." Her raspy voice sounds distant, puncturing the void I have been plunged into. Anxiety swells in my chest, my throat tightening, but I still, splaying my sweaty hands out over my thighs."I see a lot of uncertainty in your future." Her faint voice drifts throu

~Vaela"Ugh, I bet he fucks so good."My head snaps to my friend next to me, who sits back against the headboard, admiring Hale through a gap in the door.

~Vaela I’ve forgotten what freedom feels like. Now that I’m amidst it, I’m sitting like a fool, staring into a swarm of people. Some dance, others just drink and mingle. Not long ago I would be immersed in the throngs, but now, I watch on warily, painfully aware of my own mortality. Nudging Eyla, I point to a particularly adequate looking man. “I like the look of him.” Truthfully, I’m suddenly hyper aware of how mundane normal Immortals look.
