But the again, the thought vanished at the remembrance of her betrayal. "Looks like I wasn't wrong after all," Nathan teased at me as we all settled at what looks like a bar somewhere around the reception. Jane had gone to join the party of a group of people dancing to the rhythm like it's their last. Fair enough! Atleast, I'd be free from her chatter and absurdity for the time being. I just have to enjoy it while it last. I sighed at Nathan's statement as I gulp down a glass of wine. "Guys, did you see the bridesmaid? Heaven, she looks so breath taking," Silas said.

"You're not helping." "I know." The maid quietly picked up one final book. Unlike the others... This one looked ancient. Its leather cover had almost turned silver with age. Runes covered the spine.

Every trace of amusement vanished. The title read: Hereditary Powers and Bloodlines Through the Centuries: Recorded Abilities and Their Evolution

Said one of the maids with a displeased face. "You're right, I think that girl is getting special treatment from Mr. Oliver. Not even a week into the job, she's already been made a personal maid." “You're right, that girl is already flirting with Mr. Oliver.” One of the waitresses suddenly joined in the gossiping. It was Jessica, who had been listening to her friends' conversations. Jessica was happy that there were other waitresses who also disliked Sophia. “Jessica, do you know something?” "Actually Sophia is my neighbor in the village, I already know her character by heart. That girl is so ambitious with rich men, and she managed to tempt Mr. Oliver to make her a personal maid."

“You must be tired from the journey. Rest well tonight. You’ll start tomorrow morning.” She turned to leave, but Tessy’s unease bubbled over. “Wait!” she called. “Is this… is this how the other maids’ rooms are? Like this?” Her words stumbled out, awkward and desperate. Lilly blinked, confusion crossing her face. She glanced around the lavish room, then back at Tessy. “Honestly? I’m just as confused as you are. But you must be… special.” “What?” Tessy asked sharply. “The maids’ quarters are downstairs. They’re nothing like this. Only Margaret stays upstairs. But since you’re here as the assistant head maid, you’re next in line. This is your place.”

Especially when they couldn't get what they wanted from her. The Swan family had no power to stop them for these people themselves were also from noble families. These what made Madeline enraged more. Imagining inviting her enemies in shadows in her birthday was absolutely ridiculous. Madeline heaved a sigh waiting for them to enter. When the door swung open, ten ladies of their age came in frowning. "What the h*ck? Mad, your penthouse is so hard to find!" Carol, her number one enemy and the leader of her little evil platoon, whined.

Putting a solid plan in place, the only thing missing was the location of Riocht. I had Tyron, my future royal Delta, right now, Gamma of the pack, and Xander begin to comb the library for any information about the kingdom, and King Mathias was going to have Abner Brooks start looking in their library. Unfortunately, any books that had been in MacTire had either been destroyed or moved a long time ago. Lamia was going to contact Tawny and ask them to research their books too. Remembering, it was Tawny who first alerted us to the fairy tale about this shifter prophecy in the first place.

"They have, ever since she was born." Cassandra set the little serpent among the piles of gold coins. The creature sagged in defeat and exhaustion after lying before that terrible fire. "There it is," Vasilisa's voice came from behind a mountain of walnut-sized raw rubies. It wasn't hard to find the book. It was placed on a golden stand in between two golden Sirin statues. The grimoire turned out to be the largest book Cassandra had ever seen, with pages made of parchment illuminated with tracery, and it was open to a page thickly covered with elegant, intricate writing.

The lady said typing away at the computer. Jade walked to the back wall, scanning the books, she found a book called ‘The Forgotten Sorrows.’ She planted herself on the floor and started to read into it. It didn’t detail too much into the whole history before the witch burnings, but when it started in on the witch burnings, it turned brutal.

She decides to read one of them aloud as there’s plenty of time and nothing else to do. Mariah starts reading “Dance of thieves” to Mr. Denis and she enjoys it herself as well.

Mariah likes the book and doesn’t even realize that she’s been reading it for hours, when suddenly she feels an itchy feeling in her throat.
