POV: Jade

She was not a witch.
Not yet.

But she’d started to dream in sigils—spirals that curled behind her eyelids, a taste of salt she couldn’t rinse, the word listen waking as a bruise under her tongue.

  • First Bite   The Arrival

    The ballroom at the Drake Hotel had been transformed into something that felt less like a wedding venue and more like a carefully curated illusion of perfection.Soft ivory drapery cascaded from vaulted ceilings. Thousands of warm white lights shimmered like distant stars. Crystal chandeliers refracted golden light across polished marble floors, creating the kind of glow that made everyone look slightly more beautiful than they actually were.It was, Autumn thought, exactly what she would have chosen five years ago.Now she saw the strategy in every detail.Luxury wasn’t just aesthetic. It was armor.She stood near the edge of the reception space, fingers wrapped around a flute of champagne she hadn’t touched, watchi

  • First Bite   Winterlight

    Autumn had always imagined her wedding day would feel surreal.She just hadn’t expected surreal to feel so… ordinary.Not in the sense that it lacked grandeur. The suite still hummed with quiet luxury. Stylists moved with reverent efficiency. The air smelled like expensive roses and the faint citrus note of polished marble. Outside, Chicago glittered under snowfall like a city determined to perform for its own reflection.But internally, she felt oddly calm.Almost steady.Which was new.Five years ago, this level of attention would have sent her spiraling into nervous laughter and caffeine-fueled panic. Now she found herself standing at the edge of a moment she’d once thought

  • First Bite   White Silk & Old Blood

    The first snow always made Chicago feel like it was pretending.Like the city was trying on softness just to see how it fit.Autumn stood barefoot at the massive window in their penthouse, watching flakes spiral past the glass like something out of a perfume commercial. The lake had gone that dark metallic gray that meant winter wasn’t just coming — it had already decided to stay. She pressed her palm lightly to the glass and felt the faint vibration of traffic thirty floors below.Alive.Chicago had always felt alive to her in a way that most people would probably find unsettling if she ever explained it out loud. Not in some poetic, romantic way. More like… a pulse. Like the city had a nervous system she could accidentally brush up against if she wasn’t careful.Or maybe she was just projecting.“Okay, I need you to tell me again why we thought this was a good idea,” Jade called from somewhere behind he

  • First Bite   Epilogue: The Hollow's Whisper

    The basement was colder than she remembered. The air hung heavy with the scent of earth and old smoke, and every breath tasted faintly of secrets. Shadows clung to the corners, shifting with each flicker of her candle flame.Autumn descended the narrow stone steps beneath Mirabella Estate, barefoot, candle in hand. The stones were slick with condensation and age. The walls were lined with old family relics: broken charms, blackened roots, rusted knives, and faded scraps of parchment pressed under cracked glass. Her ancestors’ shadows seemed to shift just beyond the light, shapes and faces almost visible in the gloom.She had never come this deep.Not alone.Not until now.The ritual chamber sat silent, sealed since the day she first opened the Hollow.But tonight, the wards had fallen on their own.The circle was intact.The salt&he

  • First Bite   Bonus: Garden of Names

    It had grown wild since Mirabella’s death. Brambles tangled in the berry bushes, and the old sundial was half-swallowed by clover. Dew pooled in the petals of night-blooming jasmine, while moths drifted through the dusk like scraps of old dreams.Vines coiled up the broken archways—some thick as wrists, others delicate as lace. Moonflowers bloomed where no light touched, their petals pearly and strange in the shadows. The garden path, once paved with intention, was now soft and overgrown—alive with disobedient green, every step muffled by moss and memory.Autumn walked it barefoot. The cool leaves and tangled grass pressed against her skin, grounding her in the present, reminding her that she was both heir and caretaker now.The Mirror Crown did not follow her here.She left it on the altar in her ritual room&mdash

  • First Bite   What Comes After

    The gate didn’t close with thunder. There was no sound to announce its ending—only a hush, deep and resonant, that rolled across the fields and lingered in the orchard’s roots. The world seemed to sigh, letting go of old tension that had held it tight for centuries.It folded. The boundary between realms curled inward, delicate as a petal closing at dusk, leaving only traces of magic in the dew and the grass.Softly. Like the closing of a book after the last page, or the drifting of snow when winter gives way to spring. The air itself seemed to grow gentler.Like the end of a song no one realized had already stopped. The silence was so complete that it felt sacred, inviting those present to listen for what might come next.Autumn stood just beyond the spiral stones, barefoot in the grass, the Crown now quiet behind

  • First Bite   Nine

    “Ah, so Jaiden has conveniently neglected to mention that he has more older siblings than just Tristan? It's intriguing to think about what other secrets he might be hiding from his companions.” Alexis cast a teasing glance at Haiden, a mischievous grin playing on her lips. However, deep down, she

  • First Bite   Bleed the Memory

    AutumnShe woke at 3:03 a.m., the kind of hour that feels both too late and too early, when the world is suspended between dreams and daybreak. The darkness pressed close, thick and watchful, and for a moment, Autumn couldn’t remember what had pulled her from sleep.

  • First Bite   Seven

    We arrived at the mall, and frankly, Jade and I were ready to shop until we dropped. Which seemed Likely at this mall. We went to Sephora, Coach, DSW, Old Navy, Ulta and many more stores. The guys hoped for the day to end at any time. We shopped for a couple hours and Tristan handed me some gorgeou

  • First Bite   Five

    A month had gone by and I saw Tristan here and there and it was becoming more apparent that he was hiding something from me. Just last night he asked me to be his girlfriend and I said yes but at the same time I was sad because I'm leaving tomorrow and he's not moving there with me but he promised
