And in the dark below all of it, wearing a frayed mine-issue shift with her obsidian hair loose for the first time in years because she had unbraided it during the night's circulation and had not bothered to rebraid it, a girl with crystallized Ashen Qi in her bones and a burning pendant against her chest and seven people's lives now folded into the plan she had been building since the moment she saw a sale list with her name sixteenth on it — sat very still and looked at the stone wall and breathed, and in her breathing there was no fear and no excitement and nothing that resembled either, only the absolute focused silence of someone standing at the bottom of a very high staircase and under

“I surrender my life to you. I want you to trust me as I do with you. I know you are angry for I didn’t trust you enough and rather used the fire element to protect me, but you should know that every element is important to me just like you. I can’t ignore anyone. I chanted in my mind as a smile made its way onto my face when the splash started to reduce. I was about to open my eyes to see if they were calming down or not. However, before I could do that, I was thrown out of the lake, making me land on the ground harshly. “Thank god, Victoria,” Ashton said from somewhere close to me. “Don’t walk closer to her,” Daniel shouted and I guess he was too slow to say that because the next thing I k

Davina walked to the kitchen, grabbing another bottle of water, and she left for her room. She moved to the top floor, going past Cameron's office, the door was opened and the lights were still on. Davina ambled in to find only an empty office but no Cameron. She moved closer to the bookshelves, running the tip of her fingers across the books in standing. She had never been the type that's into reading, maybe she was when she was much younger but things changed, times also changed. She had to grow up and take a liking to weapons and keeping herself alive. Her hand rested on a familiar book, _The Realm of Ashes_ she recognized it, it has always intrigued her but never really read it.

My memories flash to when my team found all of the dead children and women in cages identical to the ones in the room with me. . I try to move my legs to find that they are bound as well. “Ah sleepy beauty is awake,” a voice echoes in the warehouse. My blood turns to ice at the recognition of the voice. I look up to meet the cold dark eyes of Anthony Ricci, the devil himself. He stalks towards me with his hands behind his back. The look of a predator hunting its prey. “Well Evelyn, you really did it this time.” He smirks. Stopping only a couple of feet in front of me. “What do you have to say for yourself?”

In a library filled with books she'll never ever read. She cupped her mouth and bent above the hole she had come up in. “I'm up already!” “So what now?” Wilkes asked. Him and Penelope were still oblivious of how she wanted to bring the bodies up. “Penelope,” Brie called out. “Come up, too. Your help will be needed.” Down in the cavern, Penelope and Derek exchanged glances. They did not like how Brie was making them feel. “Alright,” Penelope said loudly when Wilkes nodded in approval for her to go up. Slowly, she, too, held on to the sides of the ladder and with one foot on a wrung, she climbed up to the library.

The both of them began walking to the staircase that led up, to the next floor, where Citadel K was. “So what other differences do you think there are?” Harold who had been studying a small-sized blonde who seemed to be crying in a corner turned to look at her. The student had the same stature as Derek, Harold remembered, but Derek had been a Enchanter. A wizard, precisely. There was no way this weeping student was related to Derek. “I didn't hear what you said,” he said, turning back to look at her. “What other differences do you think there are between the pup of an Alpha and a normal wolf?”

Then, he asked, “Tyr, I can almost be certain that your mother still remembers you. She’s still the same, you know. She wasn’t fully brainwashed by Ulricus.” Tyr was stunned for a few seconds before a trace of joy flashed through his heart. He asked, “Are you sure?” “Yup..” Xavion nodded heavily. “I’m positive. Tyr, the magic book is about to be born. I’m going to find out where the book will be born. You should wait for me here.” With that, Xavion’s body started burning with flames once more, but this time the flames had transformed into a phoenix. He leaped and jumped on the back of the Phoenix.

As I fingered through the book, with no title, words began to glow and singed onto the worn parchment like magic. Inanna had stirred and I could feel the Lycan blood in me shift, each drop moving and flowing like lava through my veins and my eyes lit up like beacons absorbing the words from the page. It startled me and I dropped the book to the floor. As the thud of the heavy leather hit the floor and echoed throughout the endless room, books started flying off the shelves, pages fluttering towards me in a whirl of turbulence, surrounding me like a twister.

The intense pressure has me gasping for air but I fight the urge to submit to him by releasing my own dominance. Valdis rears his head back and blasts me with fire only for Flavius to run in front of me. I begin to panic, reaching out for Flavius until I notice that he is absorbing my father's magic into his body. Flavius stands in front of me, engulfed in burning red flames. He begins to rotate one of his hands around the other, gathering the magic and forming a large fireball, launching it back at my father.

Alessia backed away, tears brimming in her eyes. “And what about me, Dad? What do I lose?” He looked at her then—not as a father but as a man drowning. “You’ll understand one day,” he murmured. “Sometimes you have to sacrifice love to protect what you love.” and our final decision is for you to marry Damon Scott. _______ (END OF FLASHBACK) _______ Dante was different from Damon. Even though she sees him as the devil that has come to destroy her life, he is nothing like Damon.
