This and three other topazes held by three other lords that formed the four clans of The Brotherhood of the Oracle, had the peculiarity of allowing their bearers to communicate by thoughts to each other, and with the Supreme Priest of the Brotherhood, who guarded the Golden Snake that housed the rest of the gems. The power of the Fellowship resided in the gems embedded into that snake-shaped device. A large golden snake rolled on itself stood half-lifted with its head pointing upward. It held with its mouth, a four-pointed golden star by one of its spikes. Between each spike, there were four receptacles to fit the four topazes.

The city was performing its daily routine of noise and motion and carefully managed chaos. I watched it from my study window. Morrow was wavering. That much was clear. Three years of loyalty built on profit and proximity. Now Castellano was offering him something that looked like a better deal from the outside. What Morrow didn't understand was that there were no better deals in this world. Only different kinds of debt. I turned from the window. Dante was standing at the study door. He had a way of appearing without sound that most people found unsettling. I found it useful.

But that was not the only thing that surprised her when Kris suddenly spoke–something that even Gemini was surprised of. “But, auntie…” Kris’ voice trailed off before saying more, “There is still gold left.” Kris remarked, crumpling Gemini’s forehead in shock. “Georgia found it under the safe place–yes, there’s more than one safe for the gold.” Kris said as he looked into her eyes. Gemini’s mouth gaped open as bewilderment started to cradle into her mind.

Tried to bring in as much money as possible but with my father’s illness- “She is in session. What is the nature of this visit?” One of the guards asked that stood beside the golden door. Like the door, their armor was made of golden metal. Gold fused with steel. Or something of the sort. If I had one of those, I could feed my family for a thousand years, if we worked with the money well enough. Yet here the spring goddess was, squandering it on her most elite guards. Never looking after her people. “He hunted in the sacred forest. The punishment-“

The first man said, and these attracted a lot of noise from the crowd, "Thirty thousand gold coins" The second man said, his teeth bringing out canines, and at that moment, she knew those two were not ordinary beings, they posses a strong power and authority, "Thirty three thousand gold coins" The first man said again, looking at second man, again with more disdain, "Thirty five thousand gold coins" The second man said, an evil smirk on his face, showing he was not gonna give up, not yet, "Fifty thousand gold coins, thirty thousand silver coins and fourty thousands pounds of diamonds"

"You are a smart woman. You should have known your trade." “The gold I’m after isn’t in your possession.” The air of arrogance around Vladimir vanished at her remark. “There is nothing that I don’t possess.” He gritted getting offended by Esmeray's remark. “Open the pouch.” Esmeray said as she stifled a yawn. With a frown, Vladimir did and almost gasped when he saw Red Gold also known as Dragon Gold in the pouch.

The pack gathered in a clearing as the full moon rose, silvering everything in ethereal light. I stood at the center in a simple white dress, barefoot on the cool grass. Kade stood across from me in traditional Alpha formal wear, looking devastatingly handsome. Elder Margaret presided over the ceremony, her voice ringing out clear and strong. “We gather tonight to witness the bonding of Alpha Kade Blackthorn and Aria Silvermoon, last heir of the royal bloodline, Celestial Wolf.” She looked at us both. “This bond is sacred, eternal, and unbreakable. Do you both enter into it freely and with full understanding?”

he instructed as he opened a bottle of wine and poured it into two gold goblets. I washed my hands gladly. Gold and gemstones were, surprisingly, filthy. “Why is the gold so dirty?” I asked him as I joined him at the table. “Coins pass through many hands,” he replied. “Before they enter a dragon’s hoard.” “Being left lying around on the floor probably doesn’t help, either.” I sliced a piece of the meat. “It’s almost as if the dragon finds no value in it. His books are in pristine order in the library, but the precious gems are crushed underfoot.” I had discretely removed the shards of the two stones I had destroyed underfoot and had been relieved to find they were not the only two to experie

At least nothing clean enough for my wolf to touch. "Do you have your sacred wedding bands? I didn’t think so. We provide the metal, included in the silver cost." "Is it true gold?" Rowan asks, squinting through the dim light. He sniffs proudly. "Of course. It comes straight from the mountain veins, complete with an elder's mark of authenticity. Now, cross my palm. Cash or high pack-tokens. We do not do financing."

“You should be. You cannot hide anything from me. I will use everything I own. My treasure. My gold to uncover anyone who plotted against me. Alley or not. Mate or not. I have more gold than you can imagine.” He was not bragging. He was telling the truth. “Why do you accept gold coins and silver coins in this place? Cell phones already existed, Your Highness,” I stated. “Aren’t you going backward?” “It is my kingdom. Gold and silver in this place are viewed as stable, timeless stores of value. You can keep the gold and sell it outside the kingdom. You can sell the gold outside for a higher price.” He was right. Alpha Oswald did not follow the kingdom’s traditions. Our pack, like the humans,
