“A baby girl, Eleanor.” “And your Duchess still wants you?” “She does,” I replied through gritted teeth. “Even seeing me in this pitiful state, she does.” “Then take this,” and he pushed a piece of paper into my hands. Unfurling it I saw it was the title deeds to a gold mine. California, in the Americas. “Do you remember when I told you I had invested? Well I was the only investor of note and by God the man struck it big! He struck it Fitz!”

Grandpa sat beside one of the windows, Pamela had three screens open, and I was in the middle of all of it. In bed. As ordered. I considered that personal growth. When representatives from the Ember Association appeared on the secure video call, I didn't waste time. "I need everything you have on the mines." "We anticipated that," one of the older members said. A file appeared, and Pamela immediately downloaded it to an isolated system. Maps began opening across the screen, but they weren't modern maps. Some had clearly been copied from documents that had existed long before River City was what it was today. I stared at the network of lines stretching beneath Sum.

I couldn't hold it in, so I turned to Zavi and Alec, "How can you let this..man run a very essential business?." "You are here to fix it, aren't we?." Zavi replied. I turned and settled on a seat. "Can I have the ledger?." I asked him. The man bent to his desk drawer and began taking out many books. I watched as his shaky hands took out a long record book. He gave it to me, avoiding eye contact. The book was dusty and sticky. It smelt horrible. Did they shove this book into a fucking pussy?. I opened the book, careful not to tear any page as my eyes ran on it.

That knowledge would crush me. Part of me wants to shove the drawer closed and hightail it back to bed. I had a peek inside the desk and found nothing of interest. I should leave it alone. Let it go. Unfortunately, my mind demands I finish this in order to be completely satisfied. I shift to the left side of the desk and open the first drawer.

Tell him the marriage is over, he cheated, and Claudia’s the demon queen of the sixth circle of hell. But what popped into my head instead was Claudia’s damn spreadsheet. No joke. I could see it. Pastel-colored tabs. A column for threats. A column for probabilities. Impact assessments on my architecture firm. My Abuelo’s name bolded in Times New Roman, size twenty. I drew a long breath. Slow. Fighting the urge to smash the IV drip dangling beside his bed.

Jonah turned away and pulled Sapphire with him as he left in a foul mood. Once everything settled, I returned to my office table. That was when the Alpha of the Sovereign Moon Pack called. “Are you sure you are coming back to Sovereign Moon Territory, Jade?” His voice sounded hopeful. “If you are sure, I will send some Werewolves to the border to welcome you.” A sincere smile formed on my face. “I already bought the plane tickets, but do not tell my grandma yet. I want to surprise her.”

—What do you mean, excited, why? —MATE is close; I can feel it—. Kira in my mind and I couldn't help but get nervous. —Don't get too excited; we might be disappointed; we don't need any MATE,— I said, trying to keep her under control and kept my focus on the road. RED WINTER PACKHOUSE

I open the bag. A key glints in my palm. Old-fashioned, heavy, not a practical key at all—one of those glossy, romantic replicas, long neck, ornate head cut into a heart if you tilt it, into a blade if you don't. A tiny metal tag hangs from black thread: MINE on one side, TO KEEP on the other. The room tilts. Sound drops out to a pinpoint. The kettle clicks in the kitchen; I'd forgotten I'd put it back on. My phone buzzes with a calendar ping. The spreadsheet waits on my screen.

He rubbed his lips together, nodding as he took the paper from her. The second he took the paper, she turned on her heels and disappeared. Asher stared at the piece of paper for a little while before he took a deep breath and opened it. "Welcome to our treasure hunt. It is a pleasure to have you here, however we present you with a choice; to be or not to be. If you wish to not be, kindly walk up and all this will be forgotten, but if you are confident enough to unravel the mysteries - Follow the trail of leaves and vines, to a place where growth and beauty entwine."
