Arcane Tower Bernard Answers

I, Opal, was tossed into the Seven Tower Gate prison by my father, the ruthless Alpha. The world thinks I'm dead- a lie to keep me hidden. Cursed by a witch's hex, I'm a hurricane of destruction. My father wants my power, drained and gone. But I'm his worst nightmare. Six days left with the crescent moon closing in, I catch a scent. My wolf roars, everything shifts. "Mate," it growls, changing the game. Salvation or demise, the choice is mine.

The city sleeps under his dominion. He stands at the top of his tower, watching the skyline he built on corpses and contracts. A power play gone wrong leaves blood on his hands and a name on his conscience—the woman he was never meant to see again. Below, she moves through the city unseen, carrying evidence that ties him to a crime buried a decade deep. Their collision begins not with love, but exposure. She’s the variable that can end him—or save him from what he’s become.

The things we want are so very rarely the things we need. Clifton Heights, a modest Adirondack town, offers many unique attractions. Arcane Delights sells both paperbacks and hard-to-find limited editions. The Skylark Diner serves the best home-cooked meals around, with friendly service and a smile. Every August, Mr. Jingo’s County Fair visits, to the delight of children and adults. In essence, Clifton Heights is the quintessential small American town. Everyone knows everyone else, and everyone is treated like family. It is quiet, simple, and peaceful. But shadows linger here. Flitting in dark corners, from the corner of the eye. If you walk down Main Street after dark, the slight scrape of shoes on asphalt whispers you're not alone, but when you look over your shoulder, no one is there. The moon shines high and bright in the night sky, but instead of throwing light, it only seems to make the shadows lengthen. Children disappear. Teens run away. Hunters get lost in the woods with frightening regularity. Husbands go mad, and wives vanish in the dead of night. And still, when the sun rises in the morning, you are greeted by townspeople with warm waves and friendly smiles, and the shivers pass as everything seems fresh and new... Until night falls once more. Handy's Pawn and Thrift sits several blocks down from Arcane Delights. Like any thrift store, its wares range from the mundane to the bizarre. By daylight, it seems just another slice of small town Americana. But in its window hangs a sign which reads: We Have Things You Need. And when a lonely traveling salesman comes looking for something he desperately wants, after normal visiting hours, after night has fallen, he will face a harsh truth among the shelves of Handy’s Pawn and Thrift: the things we want are rarely the things we need. ©️ Crystal Lake Publishing

I'm reincarnated a week before the college entrance exam. Despite being the soon-to-be top scorer, I stab my eye with a syringe. In my past life, Marianne Quentin, my boyfriend Lance Russell's childhood friend, reported me for cheating off her during the final mock exam. The teacher compared our papers and found that my essay was identical to hers. He harshly criticized me and warned me not to repeat my mistake. However, Marianne reported me for copying her answers again during the math exam. Once again, my answers were found to be identical to hers. The teacher scolded me for being incorrigible and sent me home to reflect on my actions. I couldn't understand what had happened. Clearly, I'd never cheated, but my answers were nearly identical to Marianne's, whether in writing and language or in math. As the SAT exam loomed over me, I could only suppress my doubts as I stepped into the exam hall. I finished the writing paper and thought I was safe. However, Marianne stepped out and accused me of cheating again. I tried to defend myself, yet the answers on my paper were identical to hers. In the end, I was disqualified, kicked out of the exam hall, and banned from taking any exams in the next two years—just because I "cheated". I succumbed to despair and leaped from the rooftop. When I open my eyes again, I'm back to one week before the SAT.

J'étais enceinte de quatre mois de l'héritier de l'Alpha lorsque ma meilleure amie, Adrienne, m'a percutée. Elle a prétendu qu'il s'agissait d'un « accident ». J'ai perdu le bébé. Mon frère, Guillaume, a tenté de la dénoncer aux anciens de la meute. Mais il a été accusé à tort de trahison, dépouillé de son titre de Bêta et jeté dans un cachot de la meute. Je me suis précipitée vers mon compagnon, l'Alpha Bernard, pour lui demander de l'aide. Il m'a serrée dans ses bras et m'a juré qu'il sauverait Guillaume. Le lendemain, j'ai trouvé Guillaume dans le cachot, enchaîné avec des chaînes en argent, à peine vivant. Le cœur brisé, je suis retournée voir Bernard pour trouver un moyen de prouver l'innocence de Guillaume. C'est alors que je l'ai entendu parler à son bras droit. « Alpha, si Luna découvre que vous les avez laissés piéger Guillaume... elle vous détestera. » La voix de Bernard était empreinte d'épuisement et de douleur refoulée. « Je sais comment elle est. C'était le seul moyen de lui faire pardonner Adrienne lors de la Cérémonie de la Lune de Sang. Adrienne m'a sauvé la vie. Je ne laisserai pas cela la détruire. » Il a marqué une pause, la voix complètement froide. « Quant à Sandrine... Je me rattraperai auprès d'elle. Elle ne saura jamais la vérité, jamais. Pour l'instant, elle doit simplement... obéir. » Le compagnon à qui j'avais confié ma vie... Il a jeté ma famille aux loups, tout cela pour protéger la femme qui avait tué notre enfant. Mon cœur s'est brisé. Tremblant d'une rage que je n'avais jamais connue, j'ai appelé la personne à qui je n'avais pas parlé depuis sept ans, mon père, Alpha Claude. « Père, j'accepte l'alliance stratégique, le mariage que tu souhaitais. Mais j'ai une condition. J'ai besoin de ton aide... pour réduire la Meute du Bois Noir en cendres. »

The world used to be at Katniss Valenciaga's feet. She was a princess, an Alpha King's daughter. Beauty, intelligence, wealth, power, and a gorgeous mate, she had it all. Although she was born without a wolf and there were people who secretly hated her for it, she didn't care as long as she was loved by the people who mattered to her. But Katniss' world had turned upside down on the day of her wedding. Her father was betrayed by his subordinates and was accused of treason. Their entire clan had to face the punishment. Her father sacrificed his life to help her escape while her mother and brothers were caught and will soon be executed. Her groom, friends, and the people she trusted all turned their backs on her. Out of desperation, Katniss went to the forbidden tower where the strongest hybrid Blade Marshall lived. He was imprisoned there by the Mages for his devious acts. Others even referred to him as the 'Devil King'. They said there was no one more manipulative and more vicious than him. Only a desperate person would seek for a devil. And Katniss was that person. As devious as they say Blade was, he was her only salvation. She came to the tower and freed him. She sold her blood, body, and soul to him in exchange of her family's safety and of the revenge she was planning. With Blade's help, Katniss was on the verge of succeeding when she suddenly encountered the biggest hindrance that could change the rules of the game completely: she had fallen in love with the devil. With her heart now on the line, could she still emerge victorious?
