Secret Midnight Magic Nico Snow Novels & Stories

Cola stood beside Nicole, baring his teeth, looking like he could take on the world. No backing down. Just fight! With that, everyone reached an understanding and went off to prepare. Nicole shut the door behind her before finally pulling out the envelope. [I know your secret. If you want to keep it hidden, meet me at Nova Square at 3 p.m. Come alone. If you bring anyone, your secret goes public!] The handwriting was sloppy, obviously disguised. This person didn't dare leave a name, but had the nerve to threaten her? Nicole didn't even need to think to know who it was.

Finally, Nero stood, adjusting his cufflinks in that unhurried, deliberate way that meant only one thing: decision made. “I’ll meet Viktor again,” he said finally. “If he wants a game, I’ll play it. But this time, I’m setting the rules.” Nico nodded. “When?” “Tonight.” “Alright, boss. I’ll have it arranged.” Nero was gathering a few papers from the desk, but Nico’s attention was drawn elsewhere. His eyes landed on the discarded book Nero had tried to hide earlier, and a strange curiosity gripped him. Without thinking, he leaned over and moved the folder that Nero had placed over it, and then froze.

I used to study that scar when I was younger. Now I can’t stop imagining kissing it. Good thing I’m grown now. And out here? Nobody’s around to hear me scream his name. This is going to be a long, dirty winter. And honestly? I can’t fucking wait. We keep climbing until the road barely looks drivable anymore. The Jeep growls over ice and loose rocks before a large cabin finally appears through the falling snow. Nico kills the engine and gets out first. He grabs my suitcase while I follow behind him toward the house.

My phone buzzed at 2am It was a number I didn’t save But I knew who it was Only one person calls this late Nico I stared at the screen for three rings My heart was beating too fast Dad was not home He was on a case again That meant the house was empty Just me I finally swiped answer Aria he said His voice was low Rough Like he hadn’t slept Are you home alone he asked Yes I whispered Why Dont answer the door he said My blood went cold What Dont answer the door Aria Who is it The people looking for me I got up from my bed Walked to the window Pulled the curtain back a little A black car was parked across the street Engine off No lights Two men sitting inside I couldn’t see their faces Nico I s

Who I realize is staring right at me, his mouth slightly open in shock. And as the blood rushes from my face, he very deliberately moves his eyes first to Christian’s hand, and then to Frankie’s, and then back to my face. I say perfectly still, trapped and caught, with absolutely…no recourse. Nico continues to gape at me for a second before he starts to shake his head slowly from side to side. And in that instant I know that I am caught. And screwed. Because if anyone is going to spill my secrets for his own means, it’s definitely, definitely Nico. And he’s got a big one now – which means that I am absolutely under his thumb.

He closed his eyes briefly, still shuffling, before going still. A few moments later, a whirring noise came from in between the shelf and my jaw dropped open as that bloody bookshelf split into two parts and then drifted apart to make space for some kind of door tucked way beyond into the wall. “We aren’t done yet,” Nico said, moving back. I stared wide-eyed at the open pathway. What the fuck? “What the fuck?” I explained, my eyes wide. “What is that?” “A secret room, I guess,” he shrugged. “Why do you look so surprised? Have you never seen one before?”

I was leaving. Midnight came, sharp and cold. The mansion was silent, the halls dim under flickering security lights. I slipped out barefoot, my bag slung over my shoulder, every step a heartbeat. At the east gate, hidden behind overgrown hedges, Nicole waited, her silhouette sharp in the moonlight, a smirk playing on her lips. “Ready to ditch this prison?” she whispered, tossing me a dark hoodie to wear over my brown long sleeve top. “Put it on. Stay low, no noise.”

He licks his bottom lip and grins wickedly, exposing his top row of teeth. “The lass left, inna hurry at that.” Standing slowly, Roland pops the cork off the scotch and raises the bottle over his tipped-back head, chugging several mouthfuls with practiced ease. Lowering the bottle from his mouth with a satisfied ‘ahh’, having his fill for the moment. Walking away from me, holding the bottle by the neck in his hand, Roland glanced over his shoulder at me, heading for the stairs, “Perhaps I’ll take a midnight stroll in the woods. To keep a watchful eye on the dodgy lass. I would hate for anything terrible to happen, ye ken?”

"Doesn’t matter. You need protection. We all do. And a coven bond will make us stronger than anything Zach—or Derek—can throw at us." Rita’s chest warmed. She set the bowl aside. "Okay. Let’s do it." Midnight – The Old Oak Grove The moon hung full and heavy over the clearing, its silver light filtering through the ancient oak branches. The girls had chosen this spot for its energy—a natural convergence point where the earth’s magic pooled like water.

Silence follows. I let out a breath I didn’t realize I was holding. "Let's get you out of here," Lou murmurs, leading me to the car. Later, in the backseat, I stare at my phone, heart hammering as I read the headline from 'The Campus Scoop': ‘Monroe’s Millions Can’t Buy Loyalty: Heiress Dumped for Boyfriend’s Secret Gay Affair.’ Oh. My. God. My grip tightens on the phone. "Fuck!"
