I pick up the jacket draped around the back of the chair and head for the door, but once I feel the coldness of the door knob under my touch I turn my head looking over my shoulder to watch Lilith still asleep for the last time before I open the door to get over this part of my life for good. 'Just where I thought he would be.' I grin walking over to the big guy with the brown hair facing the bar and without any hesitation I place my hand around the back of his neck and slam his face into the counter ignoring the men pointing their guns at my back. I take a seat next to him. "Long time old friend." I mutter when he lift up his head to face me. He won't be able to hide that. I glance over his

--- Suddenly, the lights went off. The entire house fell into darkness. A scream came from outside. Security alarms started ringing. Camden immediately grabbed my hand. "Stay close." My heart raced. Then a gunshot echoed. Everyone froze. Another shot. Closer. Camden moved in front of me. Adrian did the same. Both brothers protecting me. Both men connected to my past. A shadow moved near the hallway. Kenzo and the guards rushed forward. Then we heard footsteps running away. After a few minutes, the lights came back.

"It's so late. No one's around." I felt like I was sucker-punched in the chest. I leaned against the wall with my nails digging into my palm. I almost cried out in anguish, but I forced myself to choke back the fury and humiliation rising in my throat. I didn't know how much time had passed before the sky started to lighten. When the noises inside finally died down, I walked back to the car in a hazy stupor. With trembling hands, I reached for the necklace at my neck and yanked it off. I felt the cool metal of the pendant in my palm.

Caspian walked out of the mansion, sliding into his car. “Don’t let that boy into my territory again, or I’ll make sure you regret it!” Salvador shouted behind him. The old man rubbed his temples in frustration, cursing under his breath, while his assistant quietly exited the room. [BRANDON’S BEACH HOUSE] Georgia woke in a dimly lit room, panic flooding her chest. She realized the night had gone too far. “No… no… no,” she whispered, tears stinging her eyes. She scrambled to get up, but Brandon stirred lazily, smirking.

Chapter 19 – The Dawn Pact The first light of dawn crept through the window, brushing the edges of my chamber in gold. But it didn’t feel warm. It felt pale, fragile—like a candle flickering against a storm. I hadn’t slept. Not really. My body might have closed its eyes, but my mind stayed wide awake, tuned to the faint scrape of boots in the corridor. Kael was still there, a silent sentinel leaning against the wall outside my door. Every so often I’d hear the shift of leather as he adjusted his stance, but otherwise, nothing.

And behind Elias, in the corridor he is blocking, the dark goes pale. The white light reaches the nursery doorway, throwing no shadow, casting Elias forward in a glare that has no source. The White-Glow has caught us. There is no half-second left to buy and nowhere left to run, and the only fire any of us has is the one banked cold and silent under my heart that may already be dead. Damian presses the trigger.

But her bright smile and sweet personality got rid of any negative thoughts that I had. Christine Gyamfi Stanzolio is the Light to my Shadow.

I’m not a gloomy person by any means, but when everyone thinks of you as this ray of sunshine, some high expectations come along with that, and I don’t like to disappoint people. Why do I have to be a ray of sunshine for everyone? When do I get to just be Aurora Williams: human being? _______________ Authors Note: To anyone familiar with my previous work, I will go ahead and tell you that this is nothing like what I've done before. I've written this book to challenge myself as a writer. Also, there are some rape scenes that may trigger some readers, so keep that in mind before you begin reading. The book is yet to be edited so some slight adjustments will be made in the future for redundanci

Bright woke up next morning when a strong breeze displaced the curtains and the sunlight shined bright in his eyes. He stretched and saw that the breeze came from the balcony whose door was open. Ash was awake. Bright got up and rubbed his eyes to clear his vision when he saw Ash who was adjusting his thigh holsters while it rested on the sofa. In his half-asleep state, Bright forgot the trouble in their paradise and wanted to greet Ash when suddenly realization dawned upon him and he sighed, "Never mind". He whispered, rather loudly, attracting Ash attention. On any other day, Ash lips usually curved into a smile seeing Bright but today, he stared at him blankly.

The conflict raged on, the clash of weapons and the echoes of battle reverberating through the night. The pack remained resolute, their determination unyielding in the face of their adversaries. Camilla focused her attention on the dark arts assassin, his movements like liquid shadows. She knew she needed to disrupt his connection to the darkness, to expose his vulnerabilities. With a swift spin of her staff, she channeled her inner strength and unleashed a wave of searing light that pierced through the shrouded mist.
