It's been too long. "Alright, the bride is ready." Elise announces playfully as she helps me to stand. This white dress is so white I'm afraid I won't be eating much tonight, or drink any colored beverage for that matter. I did ask Jacq to pick something colored but she told me the dress code for female guests is white, as they are saving penguins tonight. Like seriously, the benefit is held to raise fund for penguins, hence the black for gents, and white for the ladies. Cliche.

“So tell me more, why did you break up with Heather? She seemed nice. It does seem like you don’t like the nice ones anymore. Don’t worry, I’ll link you up with the craziest one of them all. You just need to show up in that dingy town.” “I’m not looking for anything serious right now. Once I sort out this Lilith sh!t, I will go on to Illistra. Illistra was an island owned by an oil billionaire. It was where the richest of the rich went for vacations. The best thing about that island was that vast variety of beauties roaming around. Bill had even built a mansion that housed a number of them. And with all the daily parties, it was hard to get bored on that island. “Whatever you say man,” my fr

Unknown sender. I open it. A photo. High-resolution. Time-stamped five minutes ago. Morrison Estate. Southern Plateau. A freshly dug trench cuts through the snow and frozen earth. Deep. Wide. In the shape of a cross. The caption reads: FOUND YOUR FOUNDATION, ISLA. IT'S DEEPER THAN YOU THINK. My blood goes cold. Someone is already on the island. Already breaking ground. The Black Swan hasn't just been watching the migration. He's been preparing for it.

“Come, I’ll help you down.” The girl climbed out of her seat and was slowly put to the ground by Aiden. Ajax followed her next. They found themselves in a huge city. People were staring at them as they walked past the roads. “Where are we?” “Blackwater Isle.” Aiden replied to her. “Take my arm if you want.” “Thanks.” Lei accepted the offer as her limbs were still aching from the attack. She roamed her eyes elsewhere. This was the first time she had traveled somewhere else aside from the Midnight City.

A black helicopter lifted into the darkening sky. Inside sat Elena. Adrian. Luca. Dr. Amelia Grant. And a heavily guarded Victor Kane. No one spoke much during the flight. The ocean stretched endlessly below them. After nearly an hour... The pilot's voice came through the headset. "We're approaching Blackwood Island." Everyone looked out the windows. An enormous island emerged from the darkness. Dense forests surrounded towering sea cliffs. At the highest point stood an ancient mansion. The Blackwell Estate. Elegant. Silent.

"Stop acting weak now, Claire. How can you be so vicious? It's Henry's birthday today and yet you told everyone he's a b*stard!" Linda held the resentful Henry in her arms, tears streaming down her face. "Mrs. Rivers, I don't mind if you dislike me, but you don't have children. Henry is still the Rivers family's only heir. He's just a child. Do you know how much gossip hurts him?" I looked at her coldly. "I only stated the facts. Isn't Henry a b*stard child? He's an illegitimate child with an unknown father!" Jonathan suddenly slapped me. The force was so great that my lip split. Blood dripped from the corner of my mouth.

Charles tried to step closer, but Beverly stormed over, glaring at me. “Sarah, don’t think you’ve won just because you’re with Nathan now. If I wanted to, Charles would come back to me in a heartbeat.” I rolled my eyes, tired of the drama. “Please. Be my guest.” Beverly clung to Charles, putting on her most pitiful expression. “Charles, do you see? She doesn’t care about you! That evil woman has already moved on to someone else! “I would never treat you like this. She’s only been gone for a while and she’s already hooking up with the heir of Sullivan Group! How shameless!”

Naresh said and Kabir immediately shoved a spoonful of poha in his mouth and he was near to vomiting as the taste was very bitter and awful. "I am sorry! I think I put it in incorrectly!" He said in a sad tone.

Rolling my eyes, I got up. ''I know someone is there. Either you show yourself or leave. I suggest you chose the latter!'' I barked angrily. I could smell a wet dog probably its just the wet stuffy scent of the rain mixed with wood. I need not ask anymore. A big, black wolf with golden eyes emerged from behind the bushes. I gasped at how big it was, dark as the night. It was darker than black.

With her dark black hair cascading down her black jacket, and her sharp black eyes, I really couldn't think of a way I could actually harm her. What could a girl like me, in pajamas, do anything to a girl like her? And who was Blake anyway? "Look, I'm not—" I stopped abruptly and took another step away from her. Her eyes didn't leave my face but the smirk did widen a bit, telling me that she definitely noticed that little action of mine. "Where's Caden?" She raised her brows and let out a small laugh, looking a bit evil under the moonlight. "In hell, I hope. Let's just get to the real business, yeah?"
