"You don't remember this cufflink either?" I watched Imogen's reaction closely. To my relief, there was no trace of guilt in her eyes, only shock. "Why do you have that cufflink?" she demanded. "I told Lauren to..." Lauren interrupted frantically, practically shouting. "This man is spouting nonsense! That's a cheap knock-off! He's scamming everyone! Don't believe a word!" That was when something clicked for me. The three of us were arguing, yet Lauren, an outsider, got so worked up, as if she were terrified that something might be exposed.

Russo bleeding, Livia hardening. She hesitated, pen hovering. Then she crossed out Livia and wrote we.

He agreed to text me if anything unusual happened at House 609. A few days later, Leo messaged: Mia was back. The young man was with her. And the businessman was there too. I rushed to the neighborhood immediately. This time, I didn’t try to get inside. I waited at the gate. Soon, Leo texted again: House 609 had ordered expensive alcohol delivery, but the regular driver was unreachable. An idea hit me. “Let me deliver it. I’ll just leave it at the door—I won’t go inside.” Leo hesitated, then warned me: “Be careful. Call for help if you need it.”

We looked through many books when suddenly Nina shouted at me. "Scarlett, I found it!" She said and I limped over to her. She was scanning the page quickly and I started reading it with her. The Crossed-Out Half Moon also known as The Ex-Luna. The mark comes when her mate mates with a girl that shares the same DNA as her and when he also marked her. The Ex-Luna will have this sign etched into her left ankle. It will firstly be an L that is crossed out when her mate mates with her sister or any girl that shares the same DNA as her then it will change from an L into a Half Moon after he marks her.

He brought out his phone which had been in his shirts pocket the whole time and with the aid of GPS, was able to find their location. "Alex you better work on that fast!" "Ok ok, we are approaching a T-junction, when we get there go left." Like Alex had spoken, a T-junction came into view and Amanda swerved to the left stress quickly. "Ok now, keep going straight and-" A bullet wheezed just past Alex. "Fuck!" His ears were ringing, he blinked his eyes, rubbing his ears. "Did you get hit?" "No, not yet at least, This is a straight road, soon you will see a corner at your left, don't take that, go further and you will see another one by your right, take that." Alex went on his knees and crawle

"Oh no" *************

I see Ocean's eyes turn black when I say that Desert is a bit bruised so I quickly hurry on, "She said all she can see from the room she is locked in is an apple tree" Ocean and Acre look at each other and smile "Uncle Antony's house," they both say together. Oceans p.o.v. Me and Acre get into the water first, we quickly and quietly swim to the other side watching in case we are spotted but everything goes smoothly, as Acre waits behind a tree I silently creep up behind the rogue that's supposed to be on watch and without making a sound I snap his neck,

He handed it to Ophelia along with a pen, gesturing for her to take them. Ophelia hesitated but took the paper. She stared at the white paper and suddenly felt overwhelmed by its emptiness.

Olivia had been afraid for herself, but she had still thought of the women whose records had already been used against them. Near the lower third of the page, one name is not hidden completely. Or rather, it had been visible once. Someone has crossed it out so violently that the ink nearly tears through the paper. A thick slash. Then another.
