At my wedding rehearsal, the officiant asked for the third time for us to exchange rings. My best friend, Stacy Campbell, stood beside me as the maid of honor, looking impish. "The treasure hunt game's started. Guess where the ring's hidden?" My fiance, Jeremy Dean, let out a helpless laugh and started guessing hiding spots. I was the only one staring at the empty box, sweat breaking out across my forehead. It was starting again. This so-called treasure hunt game. When we were kids, Stacy hid my scarf in the boiler room while Jeremy kept watch for her. I searched for four hours and finally dug the scorched corner of it out of a pile of ash. Right before the SATs, my admission ticket go

Inside the box lay a few thin sheets of magical contract paper. The top line, written in blood-red ink, stung his eyes: [MATE BOND SEVERANCE AGREEMENT] At the signature line for the female, my name was written neatly and resolutely. The date was from two weeks ago. "No... impossible..." Ethan tore the agreement to shreds. His eyes instantly turned the crimson red of a shifted beast. He looked like a wolf gone mad. "I won't sever the bond! Ivy, come out! Stop hiding! This joke isn't funny!"

It's surprising, isn't there still a change after two years? "Well, I saw earlier that there was a line on it. I think that's a sign that you're about to find out what and what that "thing" is for." I didn't speak anymore. It's been two years since I got hold of that "thing". But for two years, there was no change. If it's really has a line now, then it means, I'm about to find out the truth.

Allie POV I looked back up, ready to thank Skye, but she had already gone. It was as though she’d disappeared into thin air. The horse suddenly spooked and took off. Josh swore under his breath and raced after it, but quickly realised it was pointless. I unfurled my hand to reveal a smooth golden circle. It looked like a compass, but was the size of a watch face. It had no markings, directions or coordinates, just a single black arrow. When I turned in a circle, the arrow never lost its place, always pointing me in the same direction.

A Small Mistake Near the boards, the new surface reached a painted line. For a moment, it hesitated. Then it pushed forward— and erased it. Not cracked. Not covered. Gone. The blue line simply ceased to exist in that small section. Jake’s expression hardened. “Okay. That’s a problem.” Finn flinched. “It didn’t mean to…” Liam nodded. “It doesn’t know what to keep.” Drawing the Line Alex stepped forward, his voice steady. “Then we show it.” Finn looked up. “How?”

"No, I haven't, but I think that shouldn't be in our plans, that's not an option, I'll just keep the contract money and nothing else." "Well, it's not something you want, it's something that is already planned, I need you to send me money to survive these weeks, so if you want to see me alive send me money sweetie, in two weeks we will see each other and we will have a great time."
