She takes her eyes off royal clothes she's seeing so close for the first time and gazes at the familiar face. It's the boy she kissed in the woods. Sharp chins and dark black hair are the features she adored are the same as before, but his still eyes and tightened cheeks are the ones she's concerned about now. "Oh my god, Reza? You're the Prince of Armen." She gazes at him in shock. "I am sorry for what I did… I kis,"

Pack warriors are given a special blessing to earn a place among the moon, and the spirits of their mates, and kin, are free to visit them in the sky. Iris can sense I’m running behind, and she doesn’t keep me. Mace looks so much like his mother, it still gives me pause sometimes. At forty-eight, her hair is still black as the night sky, she looks ten years younger, and barely any lines mark her face. The top half of her features are a mirror to her son’s, her highbrow, those expressive dark eyes, while from his lips down, my ex is an Ironclaw through and through with his strong jawline and full lips.

Tossing his hand over my shoulder, he raises his eyes comically, "Let's grab a drink, shall we?" "You don't drink." I roll my eyes at him when the realization washes over him, and he dumbly makes a sound 'oh' to annoy me. This side of him gets on my nerves sometimes when he acts normal, pretending it isn't me who speaks rudely to him. Then again, he is the mature one here among the guys. "Besides, Ana needs you there the most. Look how uncomfortable she is looking, Eleanor."

On the second level of the card there were some snacks and muffins with a note that said ‘get well soon’ that I picked up and set aside. When I did, I saw a very fancy looking chocolate drizzled croissant, and I picked it up and took a bite. It tasted good, but then when I took a second bite, I felt a weird texture in between my teeth. I pulled the croissant away from my mouth and saw a red piece of paper inside, and I carefully pulled it out.

“Bells, let him have one.” “But he already had like… seven!” I shoot back indignantly. “And one more wouldn’t hurt.” She replies, smiling at our childish, playful banter over goods she had baked. “Would you rather hear him whine like a big, oversized baby?” “Fine.” I glare daggers at Akio as he reaches out triumphantly and grabs the largest croissant from the pile.

In the darkest times in my life, this helped me stay strong and always look forward to life,” Arki fetched out a golden knight’s badge. It had the design of a rose pierced by two swords in a cross. He held the tip of a sword and presented it to me.

"Crowe, admit it. You started the leaks yourself to cover your dirty work." Crowe dodged back. "I protect the academy. You two bring chaos with your little romance and rebellion."

"Not today. Dane, the console is sparking. Whole system is crashing." Crowe shouted at his men. "Stop talking. Finish them. The moon tests must continue."

Nabila offered the bored lady with some delicious pastries. "Mistress Rina, may I offer you this delicious croissant I just made? You may eat it while it's still fresh" Nabila smiled kindly to her. Rina got up from the fluffy sofa, she picked a plate of croissant from Nabila hands. She picks the croissant with her bare hands, despite showing Nabila her unladylike manners.
