My stomach turned. When her eyes met mine, she didn’t smirk. She smiled—slow and saccharine, as if we shared some private joke. But her eyes glittered with warning. I looked away. Selena’s laughter rang louder, “Alpha you really must try this dish. I’m sure you’ve never had anything quite like it. It’s called Moonwater. It’s the latest thing.

She sat in the chair, legs folded together, hands on her knees. I poured two glasses of water and took white pills out of my sleeve through the cover of my body and placed it in one of the glasses of water.

I frown as I take it from him… then my lips part in shock when I realize what it is. “Chocolate chips?” “Exactly, Miss Amaya.” Perez confirms. “I don’t know how this happened or why it’s happening, but it’s raining chocolate chips!” My brain is currently swirling in a thousand different directions, but I remember the statement I made at Aunt Ophelia’s house all too well; “Go back to your boss and inform him that chocolate chips will have to rain from the sky over my apartment before I will ever consider his lame ass invitation.” It suddenly dawns on me and the chips fall from my hands to the wooden floor of the balcony.

"People drink water at midnight, Elena." "Uh huh." I walked in slowly, eyeing him. "And the water just happened to give you..." I tilted my head, studying his face .... "chocolate. On your lip." He blinked. His hand flew up to his mouth. "What? No it didn't." "Right there." I crossed the kitchen, reached up without thinking, and pressed my thumb against the corner of his lip, brushing away a small smear of dark chocolate. He went completely still. I mean completely. Like someone had reached inside him and turned everything off. He stopped moving, stopped talking, and I was almost certain he stopped breathing, his eyes dropping to my face with an expression I didn't quite know what to do with

she began, "the element of cold means water. Specifically, we have to drink from the water of this spring." Adea glanced at the flowing spring beside her. The water's silvery surface glistened as it reflected the light of the moon and the stars. She dipped her hand in the water, shivering as it felt incredibly cold to the touch. Still, it filled her with a sense of peace and security, as if even the water was trying to tell her that everything was going to be alright.

His jaw made his face appear like it had been chiseled to give him that unique beauty that he undeniably possessed. Frost put his hands behind him and eyed the fountain. She gasped when his eyes went completely white while he focused on the fountain. She heard slight rumbling sounds and turned around to detect the source.

Theo watched, mesmerized, as it spread across her skin, creating intricate patterns that almost looked like armor. "Look at this, Theo," she said softly, her voice low but clear. "Water is powerful, but it's also adaptable. It can take any shape, flow around any obstacle. It finds its way through even the smallest cracks.
