Novel & Cerita Cross Weapon

I twisted the wedding ring on my left hand and calmly watched Victor walk down from the stage, step by step toward me. When he reached me, he knelt on one knee and held up the ring. "Marry me, Claire." I sneered and swatted his hand away, showing the diamond ring on my ring finger. "Mr. Whitmore, please show some respect. I'm a married woman." His pupils dilated in shock, but the next second they suddenly lit up as he said excitedly, "Claire, you're still jealous of Emma, so you're making up this excuse to brush me off, right?

I used the moment to break free and lunged for the hearth. I grabbed the necklace with my bare hand. The fire scorched the back of my hand, but I felt nothing. I crushed the necklace against my chest and smothered the flames with my body. Luckily, only a small part of it was blackened. I collapsed to the floor, curled around what I was protecting. My hair was a mess, my clothes torn, the back of my hand burned black. Slowly, I lifted my head. Leo had been about to kick me, but the look in my eyes made him freeze in place.

And Lena Cross knew, with every nerve on fire, that tonight, in the pulse of bass and neon, trust was a weapon as dangerous as any claw or gun. The hunt had just turned personal.

Nicholas muttered to himself before quickly dialing Madison's number. The moment the call got through, Madison asked, "Is Astrid still nowhere to be found? Several of my collaborations have been canceled, and I've also lost my endorsements!"

Croix screamed furiously. Then, he swung his leg right toward Harvey’s face. His body was oddly twisted; a terrifying strength was wrapping all around him. Harvey didn’t even raise his head to look at Croix. He kept his firearm raised, prepared to take another shot. At the same time, Rachel appeared from the corner of the box and swung her hand. A fork flew straight toward Croix’s head! An ambush! What a terrifying attack! Croix’s expression turned cold; he could feel just how terrifying Rachel’s attack was. He had no choice but to stop attacking and swing his fist at the fork.

"Between Beta and Omega, I know. But in the pack I'm the weakest and only me" "But how will you find your mate if you keep covering your scent with mine?" "You said you weren't interested in that sort of thing, so it wouldn't hurt you if I used your scent to draw Omega closer to me". "It's dangerous and you know that, if you meet my mate, she can be confused or even she can reject me before we even meet" "I know, but I think I've found my mate." Noah said. "How? You just go with my clothes" "You remember that girl I accidentally bumped into when we were leaving the convenience store? We dropped her umbrella and you gave it to her, do you remember?" Noah said.

She took a deep breath and turned toward the street. For the first time, she didn't open the door and allow the mockery and jeering to consume her. Later that night, the door banged open. Luther stumbled in, reeking of alcohol and perfume, arms wrapped around a woman in a spaghetti-strap dress. Her gaze swept over Willow, eyes flashing with obvious disdain. Then, she rose onto her toes and planted a loud, sloppy kiss on his lips, leaving no doubt about her contempt.

I secured the throwing knives along my belt and slid the crossbow into a leather holster strapped to my thigh. As I tightened the last strap, my gaze went to the shield mounted on the far wall. It bore the insignia of the Rogue Dominion—a black wolf’s head encircled by jagged thorns, a symbol of survival against all odds. I hesitated for a moment before deciding to leave it behind. Speed was my ally on this journey, and the shield would only slow me down. I fastened the final strap on my gear, my hand brushing the hilt of my sword one last time before I turned and exited the armory.

I step inside and stop short. Cross is standing near the stalls, his back to me as he watches the horses with a contemplative expression that does not belong on his face. For a moment, the scene is almost peaceful, like something out of a painting, and the dissonance makes my skin crawl. He turns slowly and tosses something toward me. I catch it by instinct, the weight solid in my hands. A riding crop. A saddle follows, landing at my feet. “Come on,” Cross says easily. “I hear you’re a good rider. If you win against me, you get to earn my surprise earlier.”

But, I had just found out that I was expecting Rosy, and I was completely turned around by the news. I hear the sound of tires followed by a boom. Two cars had just collided at an intersection. No smell of blood and more fear than harm, apparently. Intersection... Crossroads. I look down at my screen again and try to enter the place's name. A muffled cry leaves my lips. In the West, lost on the road in the middle of nowhere. Placed at an unlikely crossroads : Crossroad Café.
