"So you married someone else? Quinn, what did those seven years apart even mean?" Quinn looked at me, her expression settling back into calm. "Conrad… You must understand I'm the heir to the Summers family. I have my own duties. Hector and I are on the same level, and our marriage benefits both families. Hector said that as long as you behave, he can turn a blind eye and let you stay by my side.

" I looked at him, so confident and righteous, and almost thought it was funny. Even now, he believed I was doing this out of spite and that I should be waiting for him, as if it were natural. People along the mountain road had already stopped to watch. Murmurs rose among them. "Hey, Mr. Director. In our local weddings, the marriage is considered done once the carriage moves. It's considered bad luck for you to interrupt it like this!" "Shut up! Caroline is my bride! She's just doing this to get back at me!" The villagers laughed in his face. "She waited for you for four years and went down the mountain seven times for you. You didn't cherish her when you had the chance, but now that she's f

“You knew she was coming?” Velan glanced down. “I hoped you’d make it far enough for her to want to come.” Azriel exhaled. That kind of pressure didn’t feel like destiny—it felt like being a thread in someone else’s tapestry. Kael shifted, glancing up at the treetops. “So what is the Seventh? Another flame? Another battle?” “No,” Velan said. “The Sixth was the last flame. The Seventh is what’s left.” Mira stopped pacing. Her voice was all edge. “Left of what, exactly?”

My phone vibrates in my pocket and I lean myself backward to reach inside the pocket of my black jeans to retrieve it. My spine stiffen from the text from an unknown number. +34 85601-1337 You fucked up X. Now you’re going to pay. Blood will be shed Who the fuck is this? It’s a phone number from Spain. “Hell yeah, another one!” I hear Julian gloat but I don’t pay him any mind. The game is over and a new one has just begun. Whoever the fuck this is, is going to wish they never sent this. “Bro, what’s wrong? You all salty now?” Julian asks with whiny mockery.

"Seven is the absolute sweet spot. A different flavor for every night of the week. It keeps their stamina up, keeps me dripping in attention, and ensures I never, ever get bored." The heavy, intoxicating scent of her raw pheromones rolls across the room. Half the freshmen at the neighboring tables are practically panting, staring at her with glazed, violently aroused eyes. Arlo violently chokes on a piece of dry chicken. He coughs, his face turning bright red at the sheer, unapologetic degeneracy of the conversation. I, on the other hand, am completely unfazed. In fact, I respect the hustle. Why choose one when you can successfully manage a schedule of seven?

It slows right in front of me, and for a second, I think it’s going to stop. Maybe hitchhiking is a better idea than waiting for a cab. I step toward the street—and then it accelerates. The tire sinks into a puddle, and a mix of water and mud explodes straight at me, ruining my immaculate skirt. “Damn idiot! Are you blind or what?” I shout, furious, trying to see the jerk hiding behind the tinted window. The window rolls down slowly. Shamelessly. A long arm appears first. The sleeve of a black suit fits it perfectly, revealing a small but impossible-to-ignore tattoo on his wrist: a Roman numeral five.

"If you win, I'll give you not just the inheritance, but both our lives as well. But if I win, you let us go." Anna was briefly stunned. Then, her lips twisted into an amused grin. "You really are insane. Sure, I'll play along. So, what's the game?" I pulled a coin from my pocket and held it up high. "A coin toss. Heads, I win. Tails, you win.
