I wasn't sure what he'd hoped would happen, but by the looks of it, this wasn't it. "Retrieval requires entrance to Quanu. Forging the required papers will take more time than we have, so we need someone with prior connections." Lillith's fingers tightened around my hand, her nails threatening to pierce my skin.

It wasn't guaranteed that your fated mate was still alive by the time you joined the Hunt, so inevitably there were five to ten omegas each year who were given a yellow armband to wear in the Hunt, indicating they weren't being hunted by their fated mate. "I've got 100 silver coins on Justin not finding his mate this round," Logan laughed, "Any takers?" "You're on!" Justin yelled, shaking Logan's hand. "You're going to be so pissed when you find out I have a mate here and you don't," Justin smirked. "100 silver coins on Seth taking longer than a day," Kyle threw out, his eyes narrowed in challenge.

I stand up from my chair and run to the window that looks over towards Stone Enterprises. My heart falters as I see the building fall, sending a massive plummet of debris throughout the surrounding blocks. I freeze in place.

But Tae couldn’t be fooled, not by her. “I am betrothed to Miss Kang… and we both know… that isn’t you.” Just then, the system chimed above them and, before every player: [Clue Unlocked: The Heiress Was Not Chosen by Blood.] Aria froze.
