“You know this is against what your council is preaching,” Clavier said.Stefano nodded. He knew the rules of the Council. The law of nature should never be disturbed no matter what it was. Stefano broke that law when he resurrected her from the dead. Though she wasn’t his Adeline, her face was enough for him to ease the burden of missing the woman he loved. For hundreds of years, he suppressed his feelings deep inside himself after her death.“It’s going to cause an uproar,” Clavier continued on glancing to the second floor where Stefano’s stepmother’s bedroom used to be. “She won’t stay quiet, you know.”“She will not be a problem if she knows her place,” Stefano replied. “Tell me

Amanda drove out of the territory, heading to one place that she might have the answer to the things that happened lately. She didn’t want to waste more time just in case her suspicion was true. She feared that Mira was already resurrected which answered why Cohen’s mating bond was reconstructed. If Mira was actually resurrected, the balance of the world would fall.After driving nearly two hours, she stopped at a horse ranch and wheat farm. There, a two storey wooden house was located. A woman was working outside the barn, raking some dried grasses outside of it. Amanda came out of her car and looked at the woman. The woman turned at her before approaching her.“What are you doing here?” the woman asked.“I need to know something,” Amanda replied.The woman’s expression changed. “I don’t know anything.”She quickly left. Amanda chased after her and said, “Matilda, you know something

Stefano left the bedroom so that the maids could attend to her while he had to discuss a few things with Clavier, away from prying eyes and listening ears. The two men entered the study room which contained books and scrolls older than Stefano himself. Everything in this room was the work of his family. Each had their own meaning and value. Stefano had safeguarded this study room for as long he could remember. Not a single person in this castle could enter the study room without his permission. As long as he was breathing, this room would remain guarded by his power. These books and scrolls held so much important and priceless knowledge. If they fell into the wrong hands, there would be a big mess to clean. And he hated cleaning a mess.“I’m not saying I’m against or going along with your plan,” Clavier began, taking out a cigar and lit it up. “But you’ve seen in her eye

How much time would it take? For him to heal from this pain? The past nine months wasn’t enough. Would it take him a lifetime to heal? The pain was too much even when he breathed.13:48. He closed his eyes, hoping the time would pass faster.He reopened his eyes and checked the clock. 13:49. He closed his eyes again and reopened them again. 13:50. He did the same action a few times and only one minute passed each time.It was true. Time passed slower when you were in pain. Time moved faster when you were happy. Cruel, wasn’t it? The world was cruel enough. Now the time had to be cruel t

Vincent stared at the Alpha, stunned. Ophelia Jade? One of the current Councilors of the Werewolf Council? But Ophelia wasn’t married or mated. Some said her mate rejected her. Some said she just hadn’t found him. Or did she lie to cover up something?“Her ex-husband —” Cohen paused, trying to find the right term. “Anyway, Ophelia was married once to a man who had this crest.”“Okay, so he’s the guy that Mira warned me about. Or could be someone from his family.”“When I was fighting in an illegal ring a few months ago, I saw a man with this crest but he wasn’t Ophelia’s ex-husband. He was running the largest illegal rings and sex trafficking business across Europe.”“Did he recogni
