Ethereal Manor Mga Nobela at Kwento

Rubbing his jaw, he picked himself up and prayed that the lady wouldn't be found, unlike last time. - - - The maze seemed endless and every turn she took, it was one dead end after another.

The statue resembled a weeping angel with wings that were cut off, its feet shackled. She couldn't help but remember her own situation: she too was shackled in this hell house. Approaching the statue, she saw another one of those cards from earlier. This one depicted a skeleton hanging upside down, and it

She closed her eyes and stepped into the vortex, bracing herself. When she opened her eyes, her jaw almost dropped on what she saw. In front of her was the most beautiful thing she have ever seen.

At the center stood a huge building, built with gold and white marbles. It has a tall gate and was also made of pure gold with delicate designs and patterns. Its top was plated with gold and the very top of it was a crystal, opaque and golden, floating and radiates energy and life.

The crowd fell into a hush. And then… the door opened. Out stepped a man who made the very air tighten. Darian Rhys Draven. Tall, broad-shouldered, wrapped in black. His Alpha King insignia shimmered against his chest. Midnight-black hair, tousled and damp from the mist. His cold silver eyes scanned the horizon first—calculating, commanding.

Unfortunately, I wasn't the only one enamored with this godlike man. On our wedding night, he received a phone call and never came back. I sat on the bed until dawn, not sleeping a wink. In the early morning, he came back drunk. He calmly stroked my head and said, "You know what's the most adorable thing about you? It's that you're sensible enough not to cause trouble. The Finley family needs a mistress like you." At that moment, the anger that had welled up in my heart was suddenly extinguished by a bucket of cold water.

She was too old to, although the strength she showed when she slapped me made me question that notion. "Where is everyone?" she asked angrily, rhetorically.

He closes his hand into a fist, pressing it against his lips to steady the shake in his breath. “I just want to be worthy of her again.” The car races down the East River Parkway, the tall buildings of Manhattan to the west—stoic, glittering, and utterly unaware.

Ethan steps out of the car before it even comes to a full stop, his footsteps quick and heavy across the cobblestone.

Matilda immediately looked back and walked outside. She saluted the soldiers, making her way to the Ministry of Defence in the other hallway as soon as possible. Meanwhile, Dutch colony several Serviteurs and members of the Divinity gathered in a large house near the countryside of the Dutch colony. The house was painted in lime green with white balconies. Hooded figures swarmed in the front door and brushed off all the dirt they caught from the soil with a large mat in front with their carriages parked just beside them.
