I hesitated. "That's the thing. I haven't talked to Hailey."

she whispered, stepping closer, reaching into the gloom. The shadow startled, curling tighter with trembling anguish. But the voice — familiar yet distant — held steady, trembling with raw emotion. From the darkness, a shape stirred, folding itself into form. The serpent slithered forward, scales glinting cold and sharp. Her eyes blazed with that ruthless devotion — Riri.

“Then let him.” He stepped closer, voice strained. “You don’t even know what he is.” She turned to him at last eyes blazing, voice low and dangerous. “I know exactly what he is. I also know what Serina is. And between a serpent and a ghost, I choose the one that bites.” Damien’s hands curled into fists. “You’ll destroy everything.” Her voice softened suddenly, like the wind before lightning. “No, Damien. I’ll take it back.” In the corridor outside, the serpent handler stopped just long enough to glance toward the guard post.

she asked abruptly. "H-here," Kim stammered, holding up a jar containing the dead serpent. Lila takes the jar, her eyes widening with surprise. "By the Goddess," she breathed. "This is a Shadowfang viper. Its venom is... incredibly lethal." My blood ran cold. "What?" I whispered, looking at Ethan's peaceful face. "But he's... he's okay, isn't he?" Lila was surprised, ... was that admiration? "Lyra," she said slowly. "Do you understand what you've done?"

For their part, the four guild clans worshiped the God of the Oracle. Laria, the Supreme High Priestess of the Order of Noor and wife of Theobald, had orchestrated the capture of her husband, their kids and some other member of their clan, in order to deceive the unsuspecting Brotherhood, to try to seize some of the stones of the Golden Serpent. Now however, luck had presented them with the opportunity to seize The Golden Serpent with the full set of gems.

"The accounts are being emptied." Daniel stepped closer. "By who?" Adrian shook his head. "I don't know." Ethan smiled. "I do." Everyone looked at him. "The Serpent." Daniel's face hardened. "I thought they were destroyed." "They were never destroyed." Ava's stomach tightened. "Then where are they?" Ethan looked directly at her. "Everywhere." Suddenly, the screen changed. A symbol appeared. A black serpent wrapped around a rose. Underneath it were three words: THE HEIRS HAVE AWAKENED.

"I've been looking for you for twenty-seven years." I found out later that serpents have an instinct to mark their destined mates.

No one expected that Victor would feel nothing for any female shifter, and that he'd find what he was looking for in a dirty corner of a human city. He told me that in that moment, twenty-seven years of restless, churning blood went still. "Marry me, Cassandra. I'll give you everything."

The hall was packed with elders, guards, and newly chosen sacrificial consorts, yet everyone seemed to forget how to breathe. Someone whispered, "She is not afraid of him? The Demon King's whole body carries the lust-curse. Any woman who gets too close starts collapsing within three seconds. Why is she fine?"

A lash fell on the woman’s shoulders, but she didn’t even notice that, as if nothing had happened. “Curse you all, murderers!” “Go away, Hilda!” The village elder came running back with a jug of milk. He tried to position himself be between us and the woman, but nobody spared him even a look. I raised my hand. The curse was getting stronger, I sensed it. It happens sometimes; if someone was already one foot into the netherworld, they could channel power that even I, a half-demon, couldn’t handle. And they think that demons eat the souls of the dead.

"I did. Every single one of these people are brought together because of me. I gave my blessings to some and spared others. Shiratori Kazuha is quite a prominent example. She plays a large role into D-class with her natural gifts and powerful family geneaology. I made sure that her Blood art unlocks early so that she wouldn't die at the hands of her sister. Then there is Kurahashi Natsume, he unlocked his potential though I didn't expect him to teleport to the Crown.
