We had a few more hours before sunrise, I wanted to go back, to check on Dumarque, but he probably prepared for tomorrow like everybody else. Then I followed my husband into the house. “Damon?” “Hm?” “What do you know about Vadas?” Hearing my question, he stopped abruptly, causing me to crash into him. “He is a bastard; I don’t want you around him.” and with that, he walked away. “Hey, I need more than that!”

He lectured her. “I understand.” She nodded curtly, retreating to her room. “I really hope you do understand, Astrid.” He said as she opened the door.

Asked Darey, with a worried voice, "Yes, I had another dream, it was so real as if I was there in the dream," she replied, shuddering at the thought of the dark knight racing towards her in the dream.

“Darling.” Sett faced Xavier with a crooked smile. “The whole place seemed a mess, and I just didn’t want anyone coming to steal your precious research away.” Sett widened his crooked smile and slowly but confidently walked towards Xavier. “We wouldn’t want to lose our ticket out of here.” He finally got to Xavier as she lowered the gun that had been pointed at Anderson the entire time.

My stomach twisted so hard I had to sit down on the floor, back against the cabinets, knees drawn up to my chest. I had heard the stories for years. Dancers and writers and photographers, all of us drowning in the same swamp of debt and disappointment, whispering the same name: Alexander Kale.

EMMA God, the air in the house felt thicker than the humid summer night pressing against the windows. I was still buzzing from dinner—too much wine, too many lingering looks, and way too much skin on display. I’m Emma, twenty-one, fresh out of college with a body I knew turned heads: tight, athletic from years of running and yoga, perky C-cup tits that loved showing off under thin tank tops, and an ass that filled out my tiny cotton shorts perfectly. But tonight, the real heat wasn’t coming from outside. It was coming from her—my stepmom Sarah—and him—my stepbrother Jake.

Lucien, with a dangerous glint in his orbs, abruptly stands up. "Secure, Skye and Nicolo" Gabriel turned to Xander and Zachary who immediately got their phones to call. "Skye is knowledgeable with wines, right?" Asher turns to Braiyden while going through the documents Xander read earlier. "Yes, why?"

She quickly looked away, smoothing Eira’s curls. “Alright,” she murmured. “Time to get the queen home before she turns into a sleepy pumpkin.” Eira yawned right on cue but shook her head. “One more story at home? Please?” Vera opened her mouth to say no, but Dorian raised a finger. “I’ll tell the story. I’ve got a new one about a builder knight who helped the queen and her daughter build a magical kingdom.” Eira lit up instantly. “Really?” Dorian nodded. “With dragons, unicorns, and jellyfish guards.”

After that encounter, I tried desperately to avoid him. Lucky for me, he hadn’t summoned me again right away. I sat alone, trying to plan my way out of this predicament.
