Novel & Cerita Flowers Are Bait Chapter 20

‘He will choose me if you are out of the way,’ Maia said. And I felt bad for her. I turned around to finally tell her that he would never choose her, but instead, she pressed a beautiful hibiscus flower under my nose, making me inhale into it. Damn my senses were dull too. “What the fuck are you doing?” I shouted, alarmed. ‘Sorry, just saw this flower and wanted to show it you. Wrong move… you turned ---” and she trailed off. “I am off to bed now,” I spoke out loud and trundled upstairs, now practically falling all the way.

The bond didn't feel intrusive; instead, it felt comforting, like knowing someone was always there in a corner of your mind. Suddenly, the silver flower on the bench moved on its own. Its stem straightened, and fine silver roots crept out across the stone, searching for an opening. The roots found a small crack between the bench and the earth and slipped inside. Within minutes, the flower had planted itself. Its petals opened wider, emitting a soft light like a firefly. A thin vine grew from its base, winding up Siron’s sleeve and then Elara’s, touching their skin exactly where their blood had mixed.

"Don't let him die too easily. He's just some scum of the earth. Do whatever you want with him. When you're done, dump him in the Northern Barrens and clean things up. He owes Sean this much!" I sobbed and begged her. "You were the one who came to me first, Flora! How could you just let me die now?!" Flora smiled cruelly. "You're the one who made the first move. Ever since Sean left me, I wished you would die every single day! You still don't know about this, do you? When your loving mother heard you were trafficked across to the Northern Barrens, a vein in her brain popped, and it started bleeding! She's still in the ICU right now! No one in this world is coming to save you!"

“Barely.” Kael nodded. “She’s right.” Storm looked between them. “Then speak.” Rose ran a hand through her curls, pacing once before stopping. “They’re hunting power.” “Yes.” “They’re drawn to me.” “Yes.” “Then we use that.” The clearing went quiet again. Orion tilted his head. “You’re suggesting bait.” Rose met his gaze. “I’m suggesting control.” Kael’s voice sharpened slightly. “No.” She looked at him. “It makes sense.” “It puts you in direct danger.”

Or thinking hard about something and therefore doing something stupid. All three were equally likely. I looked back toward the tent, at the basket of strange flowers glowing faintly beneath the lamplight. Flowers from an enemy. A letter Dante didn't write. A scent too strong to ignore. A suspicious plant Kyle's never seen before. This was clearly a move. ***

She moa ned loudly as I cupped her bo,obs lightly at first and increased my pace. She pressed her body on mine, wrapping her legs on my lower body.

I said and mind-linked some of the warriors to come down to the club and see if they could find anything. It has been three hours, and we have no leads on who took Rose. I am so worried about her and my unborn babies. Finally, my phone beeps, letting me know someone has messaged me. I took my phone out of my pocket and froze in my spot. "If you want your precious Flower back, then meet me by the border of the Thunder Moon Territory and come alone, or your Flower dies," The message said. There was a picture of Rose sitting unconscious in the back of a car.

The Violet Rain Divine Bird, equally astonished, chimed in, "Exactly! The power we’re seeing comes from Divine Stage man-eating flowers, and there’s more than one. Their master's strength has truly reached a terrifying level." One moment of carelessness could mean total obliteration, and the trio felt the weight of it. If they charged ahead recklessly, they might not survive the overwhelming power of the man-eating flowers and could easily be annihilated. Adrian’s determination to eliminate these flowers was beyond what most people could comprehend. Staring coldly ahead, Adrian said, "It’s terrifying, but stopping me won’t be easy. Let’s go in and assess the situation." He seemed to have spo

I know him coming back into town isn’t what I thought it would be.”

So I can just pick it and exit this scary place as fast as I can, her eyes darted among the plants But to her dismay, the flower wasn't there. “Fuckk it's not here”, she said bending to inspect the flowers. “Well… this bloodroot might still be useful.” she plucked one, tucking it into her pocket, before pushing forward. Moments later, her chest swelled in excitement. There it was, the almighty moonflower standing proudly in the midst of the undergrowth. She smiled like one who had hit a jackpot. She plucked it carefully, the flower, and was inspecting it when a loud growl made her freeze.
