Chapter 29: Tailoring for Battle "A charity auction," Adrian said, tossing the heavy, cream-colored envelope onto the weathered oak table. The thick parchment mocked him with its embossed silver lettering, a gilded death warrant disguised as philanthropy. "Hosted by the Bellweather family. If that isn't a trap wrapped in black-tie elegance, I don't know what is."

He hesitates to answer. “Cursed.” He mumbles, I heard him, but I wanted to make sure it was really clear, “What?” “There’s a group referred to as The Enchanted. They are unnatural creatures that don’t really fit in anywhere. The subgroup for me is Cursed.” He seems upset by it, maybe that’s why he tries so hard to help people. If I was known as a Cursed person I’d want to do whatever I could to prove people wrong. I feel like I understand Corvu a little better.

And she refused to acknowledge the fact that she was going because she didn't want Sebastian to lose his career over a goddamn kissing scandal. Kissing scandals were minor for her, not for Sebastian as he had just gotten dr m his one year mental-break. It created a bad reputation of not working hard and being distracted. There were all sorts of comments like 'its Sebastian Phoenix y'all, of course he had to do it. That too with Lorraine Acker. He disappears for one year then comes back only to fuck an actress.' So it was pretty absurd to start with that the legendary Phoenix brothers got disbanded because of a kissing scandal. For fucks sake, people acted as if Sebastian wasn't an actual per

Though she was asking a question, her voice held disdain – not because of them but because of the people that thought they could use her and Damon for Nether World. Gripping the handle of the teacup tightly while her wrists shook, Maleficent the Glutton inhaled deeply. Drawing deep breaths was her illusion about making herself calm only to be disillusioned when her trembling fingertips did not stop. She continued upon feeling her boyfriend’s hand intertwined with hers as if he was urging her to continue, so continue she did. “Let us end this enmity.”

They are just the worst people on earth. "What am I supposed to do, Letty? What am I supposed to do, huh? I don't even own my choices and my life anymore. I lost everything and I certainly want to lose my sanity, too. I want to just disappear or fell asleep and not wake up ever again. I want to be with her. I need her. I miss her. And, I love her so much. But then, I lied to her. I lied that we could be okay again. That we would see each other again and be together. I lied about that... I lied that I will be just fine here. I hate this nightmare so much. Like, who likes having nightmares? No one, right? It's gonna be my worst birthday ever. Well, certainly, if this is just my destiny, my arr

How absolutely cruel to let me keep holding on this frail hope. You're so mean, Henry. How can you be so naive?... I just confessed my feelings yesterday stubtly but the possibility of me liking him didn't even cross his mind. The possibility of liking me didn't even cross his mind so he assumed that I asked him to stop being kind to me beacuse of the bullies... I'm... just that hopeless. This is a one-sided love and yet I keep clinging to it. Why do people cling onto something like this? Love is a drug that could be labeled as poison and yet people would still drink it.

Reva whispered when the professor turned to write something on the board and pulled her focus towards the class; Shrey pouted and said nothing, as she wasn’t able to focus on what her professor was teaching. She was preoccupied by the thoughts of the man she saw on the streets. "He was so handsome and devilish enough to kill me today," Shrey thought to herself, pouting. "Today we will continue the dragon tales; it's been two days now." Reva said as Shrey’s distraction was clearly visible on her face. "Yeah," Shrey said absentmindedly.

What the fvck is that?" Scarlet cussed " She has been infected" Alden replied as he took the extract from Scarlet and began mixing it up to cure the maid. He moved as quickly as possible to get the cure ready before the scale spread throughout the maid's body. The maid was already banging the metal gate and attempting to break free. Without looking up at anyone, Alden said "Father, get someone to instruct the entire kingdom to take wary of any powdered blue substance they may find and not to come in contact with it in any way"

His eyes began to change color. “Daniel, there is no need to worry about the prophecy. It has yet to come to pass, and I accepted because we still have to play nice until the Seven go back down. You, out of all people, certainly don’t want to piss off the favorite children of Abaddon do you?” Ornais explained. Daniel hated to admit it but he was right the last thing he needed was to piss off Abaddon anymore than he already had when he sent Wrath back home. Knowing this he just nodded his head and got in the car.

It was as if the very life force of the land had been sapped, leaving behind a trail of desolation. "This is not the work of natura l forces," one companion observed, their voice tinged with concern. "It's as if the very essence of the Enchanted Realm is being drained."
