Just another day in the life of Finley Bennett, unexpected Alpha candidate and unwilling cornerstone of supernatural salvation. Lucky me.

There are larger battles than desire. By the time I reached the northern ridge where my aunt lived, I had calmed enough to remember why I needed her. If anyone held the truth about my bloodline, it was her. Her cottage sat under the twisted boughs of a dead oak, the air thick with herbs and smoke. She was waiting for me, as though she had already known I’d come. Her eyes, pale and sharp like winter ice, fixed on me the moment I entered. “You look tired,” she said, her voice like gravel.

Shawn returns with plates but freezes when he notices the tense atmosphere. “What did I miss? “ He asks as he hands over a plate to Desmond “Apparently Amelia is now home, on house arrest” I tell Shawn keeping my eyes on them He gasps Muttering “Unfucking Believable” Desmond mutters, “It is not possible.” Marjorie shrugs. “You all can believe what you want. Justice always favors the elite.” Brandon’s wolf flashes. “Go and enjoy your win while you still can, Mrs. Winthrope.”

The room exhaled. Not metaphorically. The force that had bent the air to ignite lungs full of fuel, to tense wings on unthinking command, took its toll on one final, unwilling exhalation. The humming of walls faded. The floor lost its sense of potential fracture beneath the weight of what might have occurred. The Book was nowhere to be seen. But it was not destroyed.

Wrapping himself around something fragile, treacherous, and ominously familiar.

'And not to mention that I will hate you forever! 'You will get over it!' I snap. I turn my attention to Vladimir; he has patiently waited for me to say something. "You had your moment with Mia, but I am afraid it is time to cut out our bond," I say in a cold tone. Vladimir doesn't say anything; he just looks at me with those green eyes of his. I wish my life were different, but I had promised myself never to love again. " I, Elena Albu, a vampire huntress and member of the Black Moon Pack, reject you, Vladimir—" I stop talking and frown. "What is your full name?"

Eva was sitting at the back of Luna,she was deep in thought, pondering about her future goals after graduation. She turned to Luna and asked, "Luna, what do you think I should do after I graduate?"

Alice hurriedly ushered them into the house, which, although a rural dwelling, was surprisingly clean and tidy. Treating the woman as if she were a precious treasure, Lucio laid her gently on the soft bedding, despite being covered in mud himself after spending half a day taking care of her. He hastily left after giving Alice some money and a few instructions. Alice naturally agreed to his requests one by one, feeling quite satisfied with the money she received. However, when she opened the pouch later, she was startled. Oh my goodness, she had never seen gold coins in her life! She was so shocked that her hands trembled, even in broad daylight.

But she still didn’t know how she was going to survive. A knock on the door. Just once. She opened it. It was Maddox.

David chuckled and went out of the room. Wunmi sat in her hotel room, reading one of the novels she got from a book store nearby. She took her phone and replied some messages on her chats and dropped the phone. She was still reading when she heard a noise from a part of the hotel, like a man was shouting at someone to open a door. She shrugged and faced her book. Not long, She heard a bang at the window.
