Her thin, pale fingers reached behind her neck and unclasped a silver chain, revealing a polished emerald pendant. It was a rich green, smooth and warm against my skin, carrying a quiet, reassuring glow. With trembling hands, she fastened the chain around my neck. "This pendant was given to me by your grandmother, a blessing for a lifetime of peace. "I'm giving it to you now. I don’t wish for you to be rich or powerful—only to live a safe and peaceful life." There was sorrow in her gaze—the kind only a mother would have in her final moments, knowing she was about to leave her child behind.

“Haven’t you noticed? I’m quite charming.” I threw my head back and laughed. “I made her realize how much I loved her daughter. I won’t trade you for anything.” “Not even gold?” I asked. He nudged his nose against mine. “Not even that.” --The End

He said that and sent me a transfer of $1.88 on his phone. The note with the transfer contained two words: "Gold Digger." I had been with him for seven whole years and had not spent a dime of his money. I even gave him gifts on holidays and anniversaries. He took them like he was entitled to them, but he never got me anything in return. He would mockingly ask if I thought it was a man's duty to buy gifts for his girlfriend.

I placed my bag and collapsed upon my bed as I slowly let the silence consume me into the earth. Across the river stretched the city skyline, and it glowed through the thin curtains. Tall buildings shone like gold, out of reach instead. Somewhere out there, people lived easy, comfortable, golden lives. But that wasn’t my world. Not yet. I quickly got freshened up and had my dinner with Mama. I helped her with the dishes and said goodnight to her. I pulled my scratchy blanket a little closer and whispered to myself, "One day, I’ll make sure Mama will never lift another pan again. One day, Nick will no longer say I'm serious when he thinks about me. One day, all of this hard time will be worth

blue is really his colour. “I've shared the file with you. Look through it and find your partner.” I watch as he turns to the white board, raises his hand and starts writing something down. The fabric at his wrist slips away, revealing the small gold watch he wears there and more expanse of delicious skin. I really have to get myself together. I open my phone, d******d the file and skim through. Jackson, there it is. Paired with a McShaw. Who's McShaw?

Marcus grabs my waist and pushes me behind him, “Your highness.” He did a bow-like gesture. “What are you doing?” Marcus opens his mouth to say something but doesn’t. “ And do not even think about lying. Your job was to stay hidden and to keep your eyes on her.” The purple eyes slowly faded to gold and Marcus sighed.

I had turned the Great Alpha into a common criminal. I wasn't just destroying Roman. I was erasing the woman who had loved him. And jeez, it hurt more than the stone in my lungs. But as I looked at my reflection in the dark screen of the tablet, I saw pale, skeletal, and fading Elara. Then I realized the "Gold" I was winning was starting to feel more like the "Grey" I was leaving behind.

Nyx Calder learned early that survival had nothing to do with kindness. The gates of Briarcrest Academy rose from the mist like a judgment carved in iron and stone, their wrought crests catching the pale morning light. Beyond them stretched manicured lawns, ivy-choked buildings, and spires that scraped the sky with quiet arrogance. Power lived here. Old power. The kind that didn’t need to announce itself because it had already decided your worth. Nyx tightened her grip on the strap of her worn duffel bag as the gates slid open without a sound.

The Forge-Gargoyle missed us completely. Its massive brass body plunged past us in a blur of heated metal and roaring gears, its claws scraping frantically against the smooth stone as it shot over the lip of the chute and crashed directly into the boiling sea of gold below. A massive, fifty-foot geyser of liquid gold-aether erupted from the crucible, the molten metal splashing high up the walls of the shaft and instantly encasing the lower section of our slide in a smooth, glowing armor of cooling gold. We hung there, suspended by Killian’s single hand on the pressure pipe, our boots dangling just thirty feet above the churning, molten surface. The heat was absolute, a physical weight that t

She noticed he had to start all over again a lot of times. It was as if something was clogging up her heart. Kai also heartily praised, "I’ve had this before in France, it didn't even smell this good." Luna was already beside Damon with impatience to find something to eat with: "Where are my cutleries?
