"Leave first thing tomorrow. I'll give you an artifact. Use it to find the statue of the corrupted spirit and shatter it. That should break the spell. The person who set the trap will be undone by their own scheme and dead within a day. Don't worry about them. Evil people get what they deserve." I nodded, said goodbye to Cassandra, and went back to my room alone. I hugged my knees on the bed, my eyes cold. 'Just wait,' I thought. 'I will make you pay.' I followed Cassandra's instructions and said goodbye to my grandmother first thing the next morning, heading back to the city. I stared at the artifact she had given me. It was a snake bracelet so lifelike it seemed to coil around my wrist as

He said, "Flora, be my Luna." This was the scene I had dreamed of countless times, and it was finally coming true before my eyes. However, the world had moved on, and people hurried past him without a single person stopping to watch. Lifting the hem of my dress, I stepped around Nick carefully, making sure not to let even a single thread touch his filthy body. Behind me, he sobbed uncontrollably, but I never looked back. Later, Nick's Beta came and took him back to their pack. Sometime after that, Francis told me Nick had died in battle in the southern territory, perishing in pursuit of his lifelong dream.

I yelled at her catching her off guard, “Death is not the escape you think it is!” “How do you know that?” She looked at me. I met her gaze, my mind travelled back to the still glasslike water, the cold air, the emptiness all round and the scary gates that were in front of me.

My mind was working, alpha Tristan had advised me to choose trial by the goddess as that was my best chance at surviving with my life, that was what I planned to do.

"This is dead. It won't beat for you again. "We're finished. Your cousin was right. Chase is the one who matches your status. Let's just call it a bad dream. "The dream is over. I've paid my price. I accept it. "I wish you happiness." With that, I left the office. The moment I closed the door, I heard muffled sobbing from inside, restrained yet desperate. I felt nothing. I could not comfort her gently the way I once had when I saved her. I had underestimated how persistent Scarlett could be. To escape her, I requested a transfer out of the city with no set return date.

But before the silence could settle, he added one last line, quieter than everything before it, almost like it wasn’t meant for anyone in the room to respond to. “I want him to understand that escaping death is not always a victory.” A pause. “Sometimes it is just a delay before humiliation becomes permanent.” And then he stopped speaking completely. “Do you all understand what we are about to work on now?” “Yes, sir.” The boys responded uniformly, their voices louder.

Even if I didn't want Elena's grave beside mine, she was still buried next to me in the end. At least I was going back to my own world soon and didn't have to be tormented by these people after death. "Two dead? Good. Only one cold devotee left." "I've got nothing left to say. I just hope Daniel will be happy in his next life instead of running into these people." All the comments were now on my side. Deep down, I did feel a bit of warmth upon knowing this. My spirit gradually dispersed, and after a very, very long time, I finally woke up.

Longer this time. The generators were failing. And when they finally died. When the power went out. When the locks released. We'd run. We'd fight. We'd escape or die trying. Because staying here meant death anyway. Slow. Painful. Inevitable. And I'd rather die fighting. Than live one more day in this hell.

The fear has been replaced by something else, something I do not have a word for, something that feels like the moment before a door opens and you do not know what is on the other side but you know you are going to walk through it anyway. Two corridors away, in the chapel vault, the candle gutters out. The draft from the open vault door reaches the flame, and the flame bends once, twice, and then it is gone, and the chapel is dark, and the ledger sits in its hidden cavity beneath the granite altar stone, and the pages are still open to the authorization code that will burn the Armenise syndicate to the ground.

The day I discover that my husband, Nick Goldberg, is cheating on me, my severe depression drives me to climb up to the rooftop. My older sister, Natalie Swift, stabs him before dragging him over to apologize to me. From then on, Natalie moves in with us and becomes his strictest watchdog. Every time he so much as twitches, Natalie is even more anxious than I am. With Natalie keeping watch over Nick, he genuinely changes.

Because of this, I think that this battered, broken marriage of ours is finally getting a fresh start. Ho
