I reassured him. "I grew up empty, wishing I was like everyone else. I still can't even get over everything even though it happened so long ago. I hate the weakness I feel, the helplessness. I bought this house because it reminded me of the one I grew up in. It made me feel closer to my mother at first but now I have no peace of mind because it's like I'm reliving my horror. Sometimes when I walk down the halls, I feel like I'm a child again, scared and helpless, I can still hear the screams and crying."

At the DeLuca Family banquet announcing its new advisor, Matteo said he was going to end nine years of secrecy and finally acknowledge our relationship in public. I stood in the back row of the banquet hall, so nervous I'd crumpled my prepared speech into a ball. Over nine years, I'd cleaned up the port books for him three times, negotiated two cross-border shipping routes, and taken a bullet for him.

For some reason that statement affected her more than it should have. Not because of what he said. But because he sounded like he meant it. A knock interrupted them. The office door opened. A man walked inside. "Sir." Killian turned immediately. "Talk." "We traced the phone." Aubrey felt her pulse race. Killian became completely still. "Where?" "The signal originated from an old abandoned house at the edge of the city. Hope flashed across the man's face. Then disappeared. "But?" The man swallowed. "When our team arrived..."

"Our house is on fire!" I bit him that I couldn't stop, but I just closed my eyes and took a deep breath. "Sorry... I'm really worried about Grandma, she'll be fine, won't she since she's in the hospital. I'll be right back, I just want to know what happened in our house." The nurse nodded, even though she was scared of me confronting her. I immediately hailed a taxi, and that's what I found at our place... A loud siren of the fire brigade, and the blazing fire... It was engulfing our entire house. I'm too weak, so I can just sit on the side. Silent tears…

“If you want to get her attention, you know what to do, Dimitri, or are you trying to come up with another plan? Louis asked, clicking his tongue. Dimitri narrowed his eyes at the building ahead before signaling his driver to go. They drove past his company’s headquarters and continued downtown until they reached a secluded landmark with a single name etched on it: ‘DIMI.’ Soon, the car rolled to a stop in front of a grand estate, a mansion. He gained his footing on the ground before stepping out and striding into the building. The building’s exterior shimmered in obsidian stone, mirrored panels, and porcelain sheen, a place where one could get lost dreaming of forever. But the owner’s mind

So one night, I pinned him on the bed. "Wh-what are you doing?"

When the blanket of the night has draped over the sky, the Children of the Moon are wide awake, especially their alpha. He sat atop his chamber’s balcony railings, his feet dangling and gently swaying with the wind. The House was gloomy today. The House has been gloomy for a long time, since the events that transpired in its walls. Akira may not know it, but the impact of her departure from the house heavily impacted the household. The staff felt guilty for treating her horribly, especially when she was almost killed in these very walls.

I leaned against the cold brick wall, my hand trembling as I pulled my phone from my pocket and called my assistant, Maria, to come get me. The ninth time. I thought back to the ridiculous bet Julia had proposed a year ago. "Nine choices, Leona. Let's see who Isak really picks. The loser walks." The first time was at my mother's funeral. A rival family crashed the service and opened fire. Isak dove to shield Julia without a second thought. The second time was at his succession ceremony. A bomb went off, and his first instinct was, again, to protect Julia. The third, fourth, fifth time…

As long as she focused and listened to my thoughts, she would get the exact score. Then she would crush me in public and secure the Foster inheritance. She slowly closed her eyes and gathered her attention. In the dead silence that followed, Sophie began to hum again, completely out of control. "Darling, hold my hand...
