Ivor reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a thin strip of parchment, covered in strange runes. He struck a match, letting the paper burn until it curled to ash. Then he scooped the ashes into a cup of water and stirred. "Drink this," he said, his voice low but steady. "It's a cleansing potion. No spell, curse, or hex will cling to you once it's in your blood." The moment it slid down my throat, the necklace around my neck loosened with a sharp snap. I gasped and pulled it off easily.

That way he would not be afraid of Amie and Elder Hexa, and would be able to protect himself even if he were to run into that mysterious elite again. Great Elder's excitement grew as he thought to himself, striding over quickly and raising a hand to block Grace's acupoint. Grace was injured and could not dodge at all. She jerked to a halt, humiliation coloring her face as she roared, "Get lost, you shameless bastard…" Grace's words did not make Great Elder back down, but only made him grow with excitement as his smile widened. "You're a wild one. Just what I like…" As he spoke, Great Elder raised a hand to grab Grace's skirt as he prepared to rip it off.

She patted her unwrinkled gown, a task which must have taken her long-suffering personal maid hours with the smoothing stones. Ava held her tongue, hoping her wince had gone unnoticed. “Damn!” “It’s easily sorted,” Finn said. She told herself she wouldn’t look at him. It was too distracting. The urge to pee came from nowhere and she tried to think of something else, pressing her legs together beneath the concealing dress. “True. What do I care if they call me a child murderer?” Grace was inspecting her fingernails now, having pointedly displayed her earrings, an ancient pair which had once belonged to their mother. Her attire was powder blue in colour and made a brilliant setting for the sil

but it is like he can’t hear me, I try to squirm and fight my way out of his hold but nothing is working. “Fight baby, you know it only makes it better for me.” He states and I stop struggling not wanting to give him the satisfaction. Ally is sobbing beneath their gag and Neil is bleeding profusely. Joshua places the knife on the bedside table and pulls me up to stand by my hair.

she repeated, irritation in her voice. I shot her a look sharp, "It's a book, Grace. Not a bloody sword." "Yet, you’re reading it like a child who stole sweets and doesn’t want to get caught." "Better than you, who probably can’t even read this," I snapped, flipping the page. "It’s sylunthys, not wolf-lore. I wonder how you're going even help when there's a language barrier. You're the last person to ask for help from"

Her petite frame shivered violently, her breaths shallow and uneven. “Grace!” My voice ripped through the air as I closed the space between us in seconds. She didn’t respond. Didn’t stir. Her delicate features were pale, far too pale, and her hands were barely moving as they clutched weakly at the rail. I crouched down and scooped her up in my arms, my breath hitching at the faint burns spreading across her skin. Silver poisoning. Who had dared expose her to this? My wolf howled, its rage threatening to consume me as her faint scent mixed with the pungent poison. I cradled her closer, her icy skin searing against my warmth.

"How do you know what the glow means?" "Because mine does the same thing." Grace held up her own hand. Let it glow softly. "When I'm scared, I glow. When I'm angry, I crackle. When I'm happy, I just—shimmer. Like this." The glow became warm. Golden. Beautiful. Maya stared. "You're five years old." "You said that last night too." "It's still surprising." "I know." Grace stood. "Come downstairs. Reaper made real breakfast. Not burned this time."

Elara I shivered against the sudden cold, my body revealed to the chilly morning air in nothing but my thin, silky pajama set. But Grace didn’t seem to care about my discomfort—if anything, she just seemed to revel in it. In a flash, she was already at my closet, flinging the doors open and rifling through my clothes. Dresses, blouses, and skirts were tossed haphazardly over her shoulder, sailing through the air before falling into a heap on the floor.

From the bottom of the bag, Grace removes a separately wrapped pair of simple, thick-heeled pumps, dyed to match the dress and decorated over the toe with the same orange blossoms. “What’s this?” Setting the shoes on the floor and reaching back inside, she pulls out a translucent mesh drawstring bag. Opening it, Grace draws out a square card with folded fabric wrapped carefully around it. “Oh my gosh.” She looks up at me, her face awash in wonder. “They’re pearl beaded silk stockings.” What I’m about to do is entirely wrong, and I’m going to do it anyway because obviously, finding the dress is no longer an issue. And frankly, I have my own agenda her mentioning the word ‘stockings’ has edged

James slashed into the whipper’s neck and shook, a demon with his first meal in months. Screams…silence…death… Just like that, Grace was freed from whatever had bound her. She straightened. Sharp lances of pain shot from her back, spiraling through the rest of her. She hardly noticed. Her gown sagged from her shoulders, momentarily exposing her breasts. Hurriedly she righted the material, holding it up.
