Aether X Mona

Zum neunten Mal begingen Dante und ich den Monat ohne Bindung. Der designierte Erbe der Familie Corinni glaubte, dass unsere Beziehung dadurch länger halten würde. Jedes Jahr, einen Monat lang nach unserem Jahrestag, war er frei, und wir hielten uns aus dem Leben des anderen heraus. Wenn einer von uns in dieser Zeit jemanden fand, der besser passte, sollten wir ihm Glück wünschen. Wenn nicht, kehrten wir nach einem Monat einfach zu unserem alten Leben zurück. Um mich herum verspritzten die Männer der Familie hemmungslos Champagner. „Auf ein weiteres Jahr in Freiheit! Glückwunsch an unseren Underboss, dass er wieder offiziell Junggeselle ist!“ „Die Wettkasse der Familie ist eröffnet! Wer darauf setzt, dass sie am Ende doch noch heiraten, links. Wer glaubt, dass diesmal endgültig Schluss ist, rechts!“ Durch den dichten Zigarrenrauch saß ich still in der Ecke eines Ledersofas und sah dem Ganzen mit kalter Distanz zu, als hätte diese Farce überhaupt nichts mit mir zu tun. Dantes Hand lag um Scarletts Taille, als er an mir vorbeiging und mir zuflüsterte: „Mach dir keine Hoffnungen. Du bleibst immer meine einzige Donna.“ „Ich bin ein Drachen. Ganz egal, wie weit ich fliege, die Schnur bleibt immer in deiner Hand.“ Ich legte meine kalten Finger auf die sanfte Rundung meines Bauches. Mein Gesicht blieb ausdruckslos. Dante, diesmal setze ich am Wetttisch der Familie auf „das Ende“. Ich werde vollkommen aus deiner Welt verschwinden. Und auf diese Drachenschnur, auf die du so stolz bist? Die schneide ich heute Nacht eigenhändig durch.

“When the first one is born, a curse shall soak the soil with blood.” He said he would come back. He had made a promise to King Lucas Romero and he was going to keep it. A human would give birth to a girl he would battle against. The child would be bound to him by the goddess, but he would destroy her himself. This would be her destiny and no one could change it. No one can change what has been ordained by the gods or is there an exception?

The moment our magic touched, something shifted. My shadows didn’t fight his light this time. They reached for it instead, curling around the gold like they belonged there. “Lyra,” Kaelen said quietly, closer than I expected, “don’t force it.” “I’m not,” I whispered. That was the problem. I wasn’t controlling it at all. The connection deepened—raw, seamless, alive—threading through me like it had always been there. No resistance, balance. Just power. His gaze locked on mine, sharp with something I couldn’t ignore. “You feel that too,” I said. “Yes.” The answer came instantly. And it unsettled me. Because if he felt it too… then this wasn’t just my power. It was something else. Something neither of us understood. And for the first time since my magic awakened—I wasn’t sure if it made me stronger… or more dangerous. ---- Lyra Vale never asked for power. But when the crystal chose her, something ancient awakened—shadow magic thought to be dead for centuries. Feared. Forbidden. Alive inside her. Sent to the Royal Magic Academy under strict control, Lyra is told to suppress it. To become safe. But her magic refuses to be controlled. It grows. Prince Kaelen is the only one strong enough to counter it—his light magic the perfect balance to her shadows. He was meant to contain her. Instead, he becomes the only thing keeping her grounded. But something is wrong inside the Academy. Students are losing control. Hidden forces are moving beneath the surface. And someone is always watching Lyra. The truth is worse than rebellion or dark magic. Lyra was never meant to control the shadows. She was meant to awaken them. And when the truth comes out, she won’t just choose between light and darkness— She’ll decide who she becomes.

The De Leon's anual ball is coming, and Miranda's mom is hellbent on pursuing one of the De Leon's prided bachelors to be her son-in-law. Unfortunately, Miranda is her only daughter. Mayroon lamang siyang 0.1 poryentong tyansa na masungkit ang kahit isa sa mga anak ng Don. Lalo pa sa ugali ni Miranda na si-siga-siga at kilos lalaki. 'Sasakit lang ang ulo mo, Maman!' Gayunpaman, no one can deny an Isle their incredible beauty and slyness. Alam ni Miranda na naghihirap na ang kanilang pamilya ngunit para sa kaniya, hindi itong sapilitang daan ang sagot sa mga problema nila. "What?" bulalas ni Shanelle, "You'll—" "Steal." Ngumiti si Miranda. "Habang nagsasaya silang lahat, nanakawin ko ang maliit na parte ng yaman nila." Miranda expected Shanelle to be horrified. Surprisingly, the girl nodded. "Kung 'yon ang gusto mo." Somehow, Miranda felt that there's something wrong with her abrupt acceptance of her evil, well-thought plan. Ngunit hindi na iyon mahalaga. Kailangan niyang maghanda, sa maraming paraan.

Aurora memangkas jarak, merapikan kerah kemeja pria itu, dan berbisik seduktif. ​ "Bisa bayangkan serunya sandiwara kita ke depannya...
