Her left hand reached out for the bottle of wine which laid just below the tub and she lifted it up. Deciding not to bother refilling the now empty glass, she brought the bottle to her lips and tipped her head backward, gulping the red liquid down in a rush. She choked and coughed, placed the bottle down and chuckled sadly. "Omar, I'm really sorry." Hiccup. "I'm really really sorry. But I needed this break, at least I thought that was what I needed.... Bit I miss you terribly...."

Their leaves were all silver and shiny because of the Aether that was always being released. Malachi said, "The Royal Pack thinks Aether is like a battery that you can use up and throw away."

The massive, bus-sized claw dropped onto the ruined penthouse floor, instantly dissolving into harmless, grey ash under the ambient light of my Crown. Finally, the Aether. I pulled the starlight from the New York night sky, weaving the silver threads of cosmic energy like a needle through the torn fabric of reality.

Nikola unleashed his fury in wolf form, his claws tearing at anythin

I screamed, the smell of my pain and flesh as it burned, commingling the air to form a gut-wrenching fragrance. Without taking any time to think about it, I let my eyes meet my brother's. He was staring at me without a single hint of remorse, and beside him, a satisfied smirk sat on his mate's face. This was really it. There was no getting mercy. Not from my family and not from my pack. My eyes dropped closed as pain consumed me whole, and I whispered weakly. "Help me, Cassius." And just like that, darkness swept me under, my last breath floating behind me.

A scar-faced man, the leader of the gang, motioned to his friends and the thugs scattered out onto the road. The gang leader pulled out a gun and fired a shot up into the air. Bringing the horses to an abrupt halt, the coachman jumped out of his seat and raised his hands in surrender. Blanched with fear, he stuttered pleas for mercy as he backed away a few steps. Mouth twisted into a sneer, the scarred man turned his gun at the frightened man.

Cancer's eyes glittered but he did not stop Scorpio. Scorpio threw a military knife at Chu Xun with a disdainful expression while running toward Chu Xun. Clang! Chu Xun broke the knife off with his hand and sped up. His fist was covered with True Energy, and he punched forward, leaving lots of fist shadows behind. Scorpio got shocked. Chu Xun was so fast that Scorpio had no time to step back. He gathered his Internal Breath in both fists and punched toward Chu Xun with exploding sounds.

Caleb discreetly shifted his position to protectively cover half of her body with his own. Looking at the figure standing before her, Ember experienced a whirlwind of emotions. Other traffickers were encircling a man with a scar across his face. He eyed them with a threatening gaze. He noticed Caleb's protective stance and eyed him with suspicion, asking, "So, you're the one snooping around and messing up our business today?" Caleb maintained his silence, keeping a vigilant eye on the scarred man. The man's attention briefly shifted to Ember, visibly taken aback by her beauty. He broke into a lewd chuckle, his face distorted with sleaze.

“Vale, whatever thought you have take it out of your head. The sons of the wild won't let you. The spectreclaw is—” He started to sputter excuses, names, threats, the usual garbage, but I cut him off with a look that boiled the blood in his face white. “Who is your sponsor? Spectreclaw? Son's of the wild?” I removed a dagger from my waist line and played with it lazily in my hands. “Put…put the knife away. I don't…” He trailed off and I shrugged. There was no rush. We had a lot of way to go.
