Each word landed heavier than the last. “Let’s see how your family feels,” he added quietly, “knowing you’re here… suffering.” Luca’s chest tightened, panic flickering beneath the surface. Adrian straightened, stepping back completely now. Distance. Control. "Welcome to hell, Luca. This isn’t a game anymore. I’m not… kind. I don’t apologize. I don’t reward weakness.” He pulled back, his face a mask of impenetrable indifference, leaving Luca sprawled on the bed, naked, aching, and utterly, terrifyingly alone.

"He took my life, my identity, and now he's living with my name, my degrees. How can I just let that go?" I gave his back a comforting pat and met his gaze. "In a few days, when the weird end of days rolls in, we'll make him pay." Jim gave a small nod, his skin cooling down, no longer fired by my blood. Right then, I noticed something odd, the weak Haunts that had barely any strength were suddenly frantically feasting on my leftover blood. Their once translucent bodies filled with vigor as they started to circle and swoop around me. "I've got a plan!"

he continued with a smile, “there is an open position in the Kingdom of Darkness.” That had to be the highest form of compliment—the King of Darkness offering me a position. I gave a small nod, merely to acknowledge the offer, not to accept it. “I find it hard to imagine,” Nicolais said through clenched teeth, “what Luna would ever do in the Kingdom of Darkness.” “Perhaps gaze at the stars?” Fortunately, I don’t think Atlas noticed my reaction. Gaze at the stars. Perhaps even with him? My gaze returned to my fiancé, who still sat frozen in his chair. I saw him for what he was—a warrior. He was not like Sicca, or Atlas, for that matter. Words were not his weapon. And that was okay. That was w

"You preached purity while you abused your power. That is not the Law. That is predation." "You do not understand!" Miya pleaded, looking around at the Council Paladins, desperate for an ally. "Guardians! Seize them! They are attacking the Voice!" The Paladins didn't move. The Commander of the Guard, a tall man in silver plate who had stood silently by the dais for weeks, slowly lowered his spear. He looked at Finn. He looked at the silk. He looked at the bite marks on the boy’s neck. He took off his helmet.

"Yeah, well, being brilliant doesn't seem to count for much around here." The elevator dinged, and we stepped out into the lobby. The setting sun streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, bathing everything in a warm, golden glow. For a moment, I let myself imagine what it would be like to walk out of here for the last time, to leave behind the politics and the frustration and just... start over. "Earth to Emilia," Mary said, waving a hand in front of my face. "Where'd you go just now?" I shook my head, pushing the daydream aside. "Nowhere important. So, what exactly does one wear to a mysterious, exclusive club?"

I'm officially Luna. One by one, the omegas step forward, presenting my items of clothing to Draaven who puts them on me himself. First is the cloak, and he wraps it snugly around my shoulder. Then the staff. And finally, the headpiece. My heart thunders in my chest as he balances it on my head carefully and when I straighten, I must say, it's heavier than it looks. But I wasn't bred to break and I stand tall even though my neck is killing me. Draaven reaches for my hand, intertwining my fingers with his.

They can’t find out that I’m a Dival, daughter of the previous Grand Wizard. “You’re judging your treatment towards me with my personal items? You’re dumb if you don’t know that Warrior Witches have the same privilege as the upper-classes. They have the privilege to have the same weapons as the upper-class Warrior Witches.” He looked at me intently.

It was on the dagger.

"Are you sure you're ready to hear it? It might need the most heroic deed for the good of the world and if you say you are the biggest sinner, do you deserve to hear it?" "You brought it up and I still don't know what it- whatever it is, is!!! So tell me before I lose interest." "It's the end of the world; and the people responsible for it." "Are you joking right now?" Rydian stared deeply at her. His eyes flushed hints of gold. Then the darkened. "This is one matter I will never take for joke.
