Chapter 10 — The Hawthornes Her mind was still frazzled from the conversation with her parents as she watched their limo leave the chapel grounds when she felt a hand wrap around her arm. She turned sharply and was met face to face with the woman she had seen inside at the front pews where Jaxon’s family was seated. A woman she realized was Naomi Hawthorne. World-renowned philanthropist, former Miss World, Miss USA, and famous pageant who once walked a runway with even more famous runway models just to raise money for a charity course.

I started at my phone after he ended the call, he is really a God sent, with just one phone call he lifted my sadness and sorrow. My eyes widened as a thought hit me, maybe he is truly a guardian Angel that God sent to me in this period of sadness and sorrow to help me heal. So if he isn't human but an Angel sent to help me heal that means he would one day return or be assigned to another human. I shook my head to stop my imagination from running wild, this can't be possible, supernatural things like this doesn't happen. Then again how was he able to calm me down with a single phone call and helping me heal faster than normal. A lot of things about him are not ordinary. I looked at the clock

They were before me. "After them are the Timeless Wolves. They are the Seniors of our kind. They have been living on this ground for millions of years. They are wolves, more powerful than us. They give us powers and they have the capability to take our powers back too. They can never die. They are immortals, they are like souls wandering everywhere".

--- The Eleventh Seal flashed. For a brief moment, a third realm appeared. Liana saw cities. Stars. Ancient worlds. New worlds. People crossing freely. Not as invaders. As travelers. The vision disappeared. But the Celestial Heart stopped cracking. The First Light stepped closer. "She's right." Morvane looked at it. "You support this now?" The ancient being ignored his anger. "The Interworld was impossible because we believed a bridge had to carry the weight alone." It looked at Liana. "But a bridge can be supported."

"I'm so sorry babe, I can imagine how you're feeling" Sophia shook her head, feeling tears welled up in her eyes again. "I just don't know how I'm going to pay for the surgery Alex, it's $150,000. My insurance can't even cover the medication". Alex's face fell, and he looked away for a moment. When he turned back to Sophia, his eyes were filled with determination. "I know I don't have a lot of money, but I want to help. I can give you the $4000 to help pay for your mom's medication, at least to keep her stable for the time being. It's not much, but it's something and i promise to do that consecutively".

Spade asked as he wrapped his arms around me, kissing my head. “Billionaires and their money.” “Is that bad?” “No. Not at all. Look at this.” I gestured. “Moses earns billions from the government contract. He built advanced weaponry, aircraft, and now he, you, and your father are gonna build a commercial space station in, let’s say, twenty-five years from now, that can change the world. By that time, you’re already training your son to take over the company.” “My son?” He smiled meaningfully.

The center, like its name suggested, was filled with all kinds of beastfolk. Adorable rabbits, seductive foxes, imposing wolf-dogs, outgoing and cheerful puppies, and more. This was heaven. The beastfolk were performing on the stage with all they had, showing off their charm as best as they could. The performer with the highest votes would be crowned Best Beastfolk Star, and they'd be awarded with a handsome amount of prize money.

I never expected him to remember. My heart had just begun to soften. Then he said, "Do you think Serena will like it?" I froze before nodding. "It's beautiful. It suits her." Perhaps my calm surprised him, because Adrian offered a rare explanation. "We won last week's case because of Serena. "I can't let her work go unrewarded. As her boss, I should show some appreciation." He pinched my cheek. "If you like it, you can borrow it after she gets tired of it.

My partner smiled and said, "This is not a bad deal. Not only did I come back alive, I even got a job and a wife." I tapped his shoulder lightly. "Who knows how long we'll live? Still, being able to live in the light is already a blessing. From now on, we rely on each other. Every day is a miracle to us." He said nothing, just absentmindedly rubbing the pendant he wore.
