When the tower finally reveals itself through the smoke-haze, he stops. “It’s breathing,” he murmurs. The words hang. Vessa doesn’t argue. “It always does.” Lucien steps from shadow. “No sentries. No sigils. She’s not here.” “That’s the invitation,” Seren replies. Her voice doesn’t rise. It sharpens. “She wants us to enter.” Kael’s jaw tightens. “Trap?” Seren unsheathes the Blade of Caladris. “No,” she says. “Victory.”

Matthew's gaze was fixed on a particular spot, where two wish notes were stuck together, adorned with a small red heart. "I loved you first," signed Jack. "But afterward, my love out-soaring yours," signed Serena - Whispering Rose. This was a modified verse from Christina Rossetti's love poem, romantic and profound. Serena's handwriting, elegant and attractive, was similar to what Matthew had seen before. Matthew felt an inexplicable discomfort in his eyes.

"Did I ask for your opinion about them, Mandy?" Libra's zodiac man instead asked the mother of Nicolas and Melanie. A woman who already had two children was afraid. The atmosphere returned quietly because they felt a strong aura of intimidation from Abigail Laurentia Verz's favorite uncle. The look of the second sister looked annoyed, but she could not do anything. Next to Mandy was her husband, then their two children, accompanied by their respective partners.

As she walk together by me, side by side she playfully nudged me with her elbows while wearing a grin on her face — which probably pertains to the harsh truth that I am still not getting used to the wicked games that their inst

she shouted over the thumping bass. Anita raised her glass and clinked it against Tina’s and Valerie’s. “Long live my reign,” she said, her voice coated in boldness, before tipping the drink back. The liquid was cold, sharp, and exhilarating. The music changed—something fast, flirty, and alive. Tina whooped and dragged her toward the center of the floor. Anita laughed as she followed, her feet moving instinctively. Her hips rolled in rhythm, drawing looks from passing men, the slit of her dress teasing every step.

I just hummed an answer not trusting what might come out of my mouth. We stiled listening to each other breaths and my heartbeat thundered in my chest at the comfortable but soothing silence. "Baby-" I hummed ,"We'll talk tomorrow, okay?" I hummed again staring at the black screen and scanning my surroundings, "I'll be missing you-" he sighed, "And please keep your phone with you at all times," he pleaded and I giggled.

They look so cute together. “You should go back; Sotto capo might start wondering where you are,” Serena says. She puts her little hand on his chest and tries to push him away from her.

The tendons in his neck are gradually coming out while his eyes are burning with anger. "Why did you do that, huh?" Why did you hurt Rose and say such horrible things to her? Why Fayra, are you hurt by what Rose said to you? Isn't that the truth?" Whispered, but the hatred overflowed in his voice. I took a deep breath and looked at him with teary eyes. "I'm not an w-wench, " I said between sobs. "I've never been a wench, Mateo." Mateo chuckled as he tightened his hold on my arm. "Then what was supposed to describe you, Fayra? An angel who just consented to my grandfather's and your parents' wishes?"

I miss you! A slow, contented smile spread across my lips as I reread Daryl's message, the simple words carrying a weight of affection that warmed me from the inside out. With nimble fingers, I crafted a reply, mirroring his sentiment, the words flowing effortlessly from my heart. The act of responding felt intimate, a silent conversation across the miles. A sudden, sharp cough from Laxus beside me broke the spell. I glanced at him, his face partially obscured by the shadow of his hand.

I steel myself for what’s to come. “I have no intention of rejecting you. You are a gift, a second chance mate for me. I don’t turn away gifts from the Moon Goddess,” he says. His fingers then move to Masuzyo’s mark on my neck. “I’m assuming, based on your mark, that I’m your second chance mate too?”
