"I can't do this, Kael. Working with you... being near you... it's too much." "Seraphia, I know I've hurt you. But we need to find out who killed your sister. We need to stop this darkness before it consumes us all." "You don't get it. It's not just about the investigation. It's about us. You broke my heart, Kael" He stepped closer, "And I regret it every day. But fate has brought us back together for a reason. We have to trust in that, no matter how hard it is." "Maybe fate is wrong," "Or maybe, fate is giving us a second chance." Their lips met in a kiss that was both desperate and tender. ****** Living in the shadow of her brilliant sister was something Lily had grown accustomed to, even if it left her feeling like the family outcast. Her sister, Thalia was the golden girl - beautiful, sexy, and the center of attention while Sera was the chubby and nerdy one. When her sister is mysteriously murdered, Sera's life is turned upside down, and she's forced to work alongside her sister's husband - her ex boyfriend, the man who shattered her heart. hings becomes more complicated when the goddess decides to fuck her over by making him her fated mate, only adding to her turmoil. One thing was for sure. They might be fated, but there's no way she would allow that to mean anything. There was no way she would have anything to do with her dead sister's husband. Especially not the same man who had broken her heart so badly - ever again. But what's to be her fate when, despite her will to fight destiny, she keeps finding herself drawn to him? And what's to be her fate when their investigation leads to dangerous and life threatening discoveries?
View MoreAnyone who ever said there's no place like home surely has never felt what it was like to be in my shoes. Oh sure, there was a time when my cozy home aas my solace but now, it's the place I dread the most. And the fact that I knew what was behind those doors waiting for me didn't help me in anyway. I paused at my door, taking a moment to offer a quick prayer to the goddess, before pushing the door open and walking in. Just as I predicted, Rebecca was sitting in the living room, her legs crossed and eyes flashing when I walked in. On seeing me, she stood up from the chair and walked towards me, her posture tense and off. “Where were you?” I raised a brow, “Excuse me?” “You were gone, for hours. I came to see you and you just left us here alone without any sort of explanation so where were you?” I pinched the bridge of my nose tightly, before turning to Rebecca. “Listen to me carefully, Rebecca let me make something clear to you.” I started, and took two steps closer to her, “

“Excuse me?” Sera screeched. I took a deep breath, looking away from her burning gaze as my chest tightened further. I had no idea why I had come to see her, of all people. No idea at all. But with everything that had gone on so far, I just needed...needed someone I could comfortably talk to. What made me feel that Sera would be that someone - I had no idea, but before I knew it I saw myself heading directly here. "Thalia, your sister's death was my fault." I mentioned again and she swayed slightly, her finger pressing her knuckles as she closed her eyes for a few seconds. When she opened her eyes, they were blank...and didn't betray any iota of emotion, which made me confused, and scared. This was a knowledge I never wanted to share with anyone. What was wrong with me? What made me think that she wouldn't throw me out and never see me again. Or even make do on her threats to kill me herself. "You aren't making sense," she said and pointed toward the bed, "why don't you sit

༺ SeraIt's been one whole week since I last heard from Kael.One week of no calls, or texts.Although to be fair I had not tried to reach out to him either...and the truth was that, I've been avoiding him for a while now - well I was, until he suddenly disappeared.Four days ago I had pretended to pass by his house, and to my surprise everywhere was locked.At first it seemed normal, but now I was just worried because what if - just what if something bad had happened to him?Kael couldn't just stand up and disappear without a warning - or would he? How much do I even know about the man?Yet I made myself pass by his house again. It was a Sunday, so perhaps he would be home.If he wasn't, then I'd have to do something...and fast.I was starting to get very worried.And I didn't have the time to be worried about Kael. Not when I already had so much on my plate as it was.But one thing I could not bear right now is another loss.Not even if it's the loss of a man that I loathed.Thankf
༺ Kael “You can't be serious,” I murmured, my chest suddenly tight, “How? When? How the fuck did this happen?” “These aren't questions we are supposed to answer over the phone, Kael and you know that too well. That's why I'm calling you to invite you over to dinner on Friday night so we can talk about it.” I swallowed, trying to concentrate on Elias' words but my head was spinning, “What's there to discuss?” “The fact that the old man left seventy percent of his entire wealth to you - for whatever reasons.” I couldn't ignore the jealousy I heard dripping from his words and it honestly wasn't surprising. Not at all. Elias has always been jealous of me, always wanted everything I had despite being the older one. At first it was all cute until it became old and tiring feeling like I was forever in competition with my only brother. It had went on, until I walked in on him fucking my fiancé at the time. That was when I had decided that I'd had enough and left home. Although that was

༺ KAEL'S POV.Death…The whole place smelled like death and it made my stomach coil in disgust. I took a deep breath and walked into the room which I had dreaded entering for a week. The week I had once shared with her…Thalia.The moment I stepped in, the scent that hit my nostrils almost brought me to my knees - literally.Lavender.The room still smelled like Thalia, still felt like Thalia...like she had just been here a few seconds, like she wasn't dead.My heart clenched but I breathed through the pain I had been trying so hard to keep down for days, and stepped further into the room trying so hard to not glance around. I only came here for one thing - Thalia's journal.But coming here, into Thalia's room was more painful than I'd ever imagined it'd be.Because it brought back so many things, memories that I didn't want to recall, that I wasn't ready to face. Because facing them would mean me welcoming guilt to mince with the pain I already felt.Facing these memories would mean
I could not do anything when I got back home. Nothing at all.I had ignored my parents who were talking in the sitting room and went straight upstairs to my room, where I had thrown myself on the bed.My heart was still beating fast, my body quivering like a frightened cow.Anytime I tried to close my eyes, all I saw was the monster, the creature I had seen in the library. And no matter how much I try to push the fear away, to forget about the whole memory I couldn't.Because with flashes of the monster flashing through my mind, came dozens of questions that just contributed to my headache.What was that?What…? Goddess above!! What the fuck was that?Where did it come from? How long had it been in the abandoned library?And then there was the small question which kept coming up even though I brushed it off severally - why didn't it attack me when it had the chance to?I mean - it would have killed me right there and then but why didn't it?But it had been moving towards me - though
