She followed behind him and as they caught up with the attendant who was standing beside a set of new entries, Liam inquired about the women's section. “— I'm sorry Mr Thorne, but you'd have to book an appointment for that. There’s an appointment for the women's private section in a few minutes.” “That's a shame……. Well, I'm here already, and I'd like to have an appointment. — Charge me double or extra.” “.....Mr. Thorne…. It's…..” she tried to explain. “—For the inconvenience, you can add a compensation amount to the tab. Lead the way there, please….. Shall we?” He said, and the attendant, upon hearing his offer, adjusted herself quickly.

“Finally, after months of relentless effort, the Gemini Heart was complete. It was a beautiful object, crafted from shimmering Gemini Stone and adorned with intricate carvings. It pulsed with a faint, ethereal light, radiating a sense of power and mystery.” “Elias Thorne believed that he had created a tool for good, a means to heal fractured relationships and to restore balance to the universe. But he was wrong. He had unleashed a force that he could not control, a power that would ultimately consume him.” “He tested the Gemini Heart on himself and his beloved wife, Isolde. They were deeply in love, but their relationship had been strained by Elias’s obsession with his work. He hoped that th

There was a flicker of panic in her eyes. "Get the hell out of here!" he roared, his face twisted in anger. Noah slammed the door shut behind her, her heart racing, she stood rooted to the floor. Her mind distraught with the revelation of Damien's infidelity- he didn't even respect the sanctity of their marriage, what little there was to it. The thought of some sort of respect, some kind of boundary that wouldn't be crossed was shattered. Against the wall across the hall from the room, she tried to steady her breathing, a sudden urge surfacing to get at Damien. Her fists clenched, her nails digging into her palms as she battled the rage rising higher.

PENNY POV I think I hear the footsteps of people disappearing, but I'm not sure - the pain won't let me think. My back throbs painfully; I can barely tell when the pain will stop. My body trembles with the wave of pain, and the tears won't stop flowing from my eyes. My throat hurts from screaming in agony, which has left me hoarse. My hand still clings to the cold metal, fearing to let go and making the pain worse.

*"The package, or the facility. Choose. Now." Time didn’t slow. It shattered. Images flashed: Silas whispering *"my heart"* in the rain; the scientist collapsing in the lab; Dominic’s smile over Silas’s agony; hundreds of frail, unsuspecting faces at Havenridge, moments from an internal inferno. Thorne’s cold voice echoed in Silas’s delirium: *"Find the weak… make them burn from the inside…"*

Yet that night, warm blood had dripped steadily from my fingertips, pooling on the marble floor. To this day, I couldn't recall exactly how I managed to hold them off until the police finally arrived. All I remembered was the piercing wail of sirens cutting through the smoke. Besides Dorothy and me, not a single soul in that inferno had survived. Dorothy's furious shout yanked me violently back to the present. "Are you marrying me or not? If you dare hurt Rob, I'll never forgive you." The metallic tang of fresh blood hung thick in the air. My eyes blazed red with fury as I lunged forward, seized her slender throat in an iron grip, and slammed her backward into the dressing room with brutal f

Sean told her and kissed her. “Okay then,” she said. “I think it’s time to mobilise the Thorns,” Adina said to Sean. He looked at her for a moment, and then he nodded. “What are the Thorns?” Colin asked. “Most members of the council have access to warriors. Most of the members that have access to warriors choose their most loyal ones, and they are sworn in to protect the Beloved One. They are not full members of the pack but can be used as protection,” Sean explained.

RIN POV “You're impossible, come let's get away from here. I'm dying from how boring it is. You are coming with me to make this marriage more realistic," Thorne said , and I nodded. My hair shaking with the soft wind blowing in through the window. My heart skipped with joy, I didn't know why I was reacting this way with him when I wasn't even with my own body. It seemed like I was being controlled by my heart and not the body. The moon goddess made it a point of contact of making sure mate understand that they are for each other by the physical touch.

The air in the room felt freezing, smelling of ozone and rotting leaves. ​CRACK ​The reinforced glass of her balcony door didn't just break; it disintegrated. ​Three figures shrouded in shifting, smoky darkness stepped into her room. They weren't wolves; they were Shadow-Walkers, the elite assassins of the Shadow Pack. They didn't growl; they moved in a terrifying, unnatural silence. ​"The Thorne girl," the middle one whispered, his voice sounding like two stones grinding together. "The masters want the heart. Kill the body, harvest the light."

She sat on the hard ground, her mind in disarray, desperately trying to process the overwhelming events that had unfolded. As she attempted to gather her thoughts, Blair's gaze wandered around the cell, and her heart sank when she noticed something eerie. Thorns, like menacing spikes, protruded from the walls, forming a treacherous barrier that encircled the entire cell. Panic gripped her as she realized that there was only a small, thorn-free spot where she could stand without being pierced.
