When he saw me walk out looking calm and composed, he looked uneasy. "Vanessa, you—" "I'm fine. You've seen what you needed to see, so you should go now. What comes next isn't something you can be involved in." I told Edward to leave. He didn't want to, but in the end, he was kept outside. Everything that followed had nothing to do with him anymore. I knew partings were painful but for Blake, this was also a release. After so many years as comrades, we had become closer than anything else.

My wedding day arrived, and no one from my family graced the occasion. Word reached me that Brent's stroke had left him partially paralyzed. Fiona juggled his care, her days blurred by exhaustion and tears. Andrea cited her packed exhibition schedule as an excuse for her absence, never once checking in. My life with Levi unfolded in serene bliss. Then, one day, headlines broke. [Rising Star Andrea Jordan Busted for Plagiarism] [Prodigy Painter Exposed as Copycat]

I also avoided when he wasn’t home to avoid being in his way when he did come home. The last time I decided to enjoy a little tv was almost three years ago. My grandfather recently passed away and I was home alone for the fourth weekend in a row. I had just turned fifteen so it wasn’t an issue of me being alone at my age. But no matter how mean my father became, I was still hoping one day we would grow closer and he would see we were all we had left in this world. I’d been flipping through channels trying to decide if I wanted to watch The Versailles or The Last Kingdom when the door burst open. My father walked in holding a case of beer. He was flanked by another guy I didn’t recognize.

BLAIR Five weeks had passed since my mum's sudden visit. Altan had not shown any symptom of severe depression or illness. But, I was suspicious that he could be hiding it from me. Lorenzo and I was still having a hard time figuring out a way to break the curse. Altan was more affectionate towards me and while I really enjoyed it, there was a lingering feeling that wouldn't go away. The feeling of time running out. I was wide awake on my bed. The bed felt empty without Mikael in it. He had travelled to Canada for a business trip four days ago. He was supposed to return the day after today.

" He stepped forward as if to help with my boxes. I pushed him away, lifted the carton against my chest, and walked out without looking back. In the cab to the airport, I rejected every call he made. Seconds before my flight took off, I sent him one message. "Adrian, it's over. We're done." Then I blocked every way he had to contact me. That evening, Adrian reserved a table for two at our favorite French restaurant. He was about to call Evelyn when a message appeared on his screen. After reading it, he swayed and dropped the phone.

"Agree, and I'll leave you alone. Disagree, and I'll keep cutting your face every ten minutes until you do." Gwyneth watched Liana, who seemed totally mad. "You do realize Asher's about to go bankrupt, right? Is it really worth losing your sanity over a guy who's about to crash?" "How could he be going bankrupt?" Liana stared at Gwyneth, disbelief in her eyes. "Are you lying to me?" Gwyneth scoffed. "Go ahead and look it up online."

Lyra sent another photo of Kaden reading a book, which was titled "The Guide to Early Pup Education" She attached a message. "The Alpha's taking fatherhood seriously. The pup is just a tiny bean in my belly, but the Alpha's already talking to it through my stomach every day." It was still radio silence on Seraphina's end. She went to a human bank and exchanged all her funds in cash before terminating all her accounts. There was just one day left before the flight departed. This time, Lyra sent a video clip which featured a beautiful and romantic fireworks display at the beach.

Isolde said. "She saved you by giving away Aurora's daughter. Of course she saved you all. The key to saving us lies in the hand of Aurora's great great grandchild and she is in Lunaris Kingdom." "The ancient magic is awakening, and it resonates with its home. THE HEART OF AVALON IS ALIVE!" Aurelia declared before she turned and left the hall. The hall erupted into an uproar. Panic settled in everyone's heart.

If the heart of Wysteria, it is at the border of each kingdom, in the middle. Avalon. The town closest to Wysteria's heart. "At which hour invasion starts from the heart," I said. "Avalone was attacked today." It makes sense! "The creatures of the dark cometh fourth." It refers to the monsters that attacked Avalone! But I don't know what 'the daylight shall bleedeth' means. The moon shall caterwauling'. Bleeding in the morning? And what does caterwauling even mean? I only understand one thing, these are signs of the end of immortality! This is not a prophecy, this is an augury!

Only an anklet decorates her legs. "What's the name of your home?" Delilah and I glance at each other. I turn back to Vivian and reply. "Avalon." She stops her stirring and turns to us. "Avalon?" she asks with a look of curiosity. I pray within me that she knows how to take us back home. She looks back at her water and continues stirring. "Avalon is a long distance from here. It's extremely difficult to find or open a portal that leads there."
