PEONY CRIMSON'S POV "Remember how Zedd dragged you to jail? I had to search all over the place for you, and the rogue attack arrived." Gloria helped me zip my dress. "You missed the whole festival because of that. I mean, we both were.” I stared at my reflection in the mirror without any expression on my face. Xander gifted me a navy deep v-neck dress that fit my body perfectly. The ankle-length skirt gracefully cascaded to the floor, resembling a flowing waterfall. The pearls that were stitched on its surface seemed to wink at me.

And yet, I’d been polished into stunning grace… Cazz had chosen a dramatic black dress for me, beaded in midnight swirls and patterns that caught the light and twinkled. The shoulders were flat and hard, the beads looking almost like spikes. The bodice drew a straight line across my collarbones, then hugged every curve like a second skin, all the way down almost to my knees, where it flared out dramatically—which was good, because the wide flare balanced my shoulders and made my round tummy seem not quite so big.

The spotlight shifted, and soon Racheal and Ariella entered the hall. I was momentarily breathless as I caught sight of Racheal. She wore a stunning white dress that hugged her curves perfectly, the back dipping low and accentuating her figure. It was clear she wasn’t wearing a bra, and the glimmering crystals adorning the gown highlighted her hips beautifully. Ariella mirrored her mother’s elegance in a flared dress, complete with Tinkerbell wings that added a whimsical touch.

The sweetness explodes in my mouth, and I savor the flavor. Azrael nods with unbridled enthusiasm, his extraordinary ombré eyes flashing with joy. His eyes, a striking feature he shares with his sister Astria, are truly one-of-a-kind. The ombré effect creates a mesmerizing gradient as if the colors are bending and adapting to the surrounding light.
