LOGINHe leans in close, eyes locked on mine. “I’d die before I let anything happen to you.” He brushes his lips against mine, soft and slow. “And let’s be real, even if you did fall, your silver power’s got you. You’d probably land like a badass.” I roll my eyes, but I’m smiling like a fool. “Still. Not
Aria We’ve just finished laying Alpha Marcus to rest and gotten back to the mansion. The whole thing feels heavy as hell. He passed last night, right after Lucas and I talked to him. The man was barely holding on…thin, weak, sickly as shit…but at least he looked happy to see us. Especially Lucas.
My mouth parts slightly in surprise. “I didn’t know that,” I say, trying to picture what Moon River must have once been. “Not many knew,” Asora replies gently. “But now that the curse is broken, we’re going to rebuild it. Restore it to what it used to be.” “I wish you could stay… but I understan
Aria As I step out and close it behind me, I find them all waiting just outside. Their eyes are on me immediately. “You guys…” I begin, my voice hoarse and thick from crying. “We couldn’t just leave you in there,” Mia says gently, stepping closer. Her expression is soft but concerned. “We had

Aria I wake up, and the sun is literally stabbing me in the face like it has a personal vendetta. No curtain, no mercy…just straight-up blinding me. Groaning, I sit up, stretch out my arms, and let out this big, dramatic yawn. I look around the room, and yeah, it’s a shoebox. But it’s my shoebox
“Enough!” he snaps, shooting up from his chair so fast you’d think it was on fire. He storms around the desk to stand right in front of me. “You’re going to forget that girl, and that’s final.” I cross my arms and glare right back at him. “I’m not doing that.
