The people have elected a new president. The first thing he did was conscript children into a school for future soldiers, and not a single human rights organization found out. Selena was one of those children. She was twelve when soldiers at school picked her up from school, rode a chopper, and disappeared They brought her to a garrison along with hundreds of children like her. There, she met friends she'd do anything to protect.

I stood at the edge of Ironwood territory, boots sinking into mud as cold seeped through my coat. I hated being this close to their land. It smelled like wet dog, testosterone, and trouble. “You’re late, witch.” The voice hit low and deep, vibrating through the ground before it reached my ears. I didn’t flinch. I refused to give him that. I turned slowly, amethyst eyes narrowing as I found him at the tree line. Guilermo Santander. He stepped into the gray light, rain sliding off his broad frame. Six-foot-five of pure menace. Dark hair plastered to his forehead, silver streaks catching the gloom, and those amber eyes—burning straight through me. “I’m not late,” I said calmly, though my pulse spiked. “You wolves just don’t understand patience.” He stopped three feet away. My skin prickled as the runes along my ribs flared hot, reacting to the dense magic rolling off him. Suffocating. Intoxicating. “And you witches don’t understand territory,” Guilermo said. He didn’t sound feral. He sounded tired—like a man carrying a century of weight on deceptively young shoulders. He leaned in and sniffed near my neck. I stiffened. “You smell like sage and burnt sugar,” he murmured, voice dropping, darker now. “It’s giving me a headache.” “Then stop breathing,” I snapped. One corner of his mouth lifted, a flash of sharp canine. “Make me.” The air between us snapped tight. My magic stirred, violet haze curling from my fingertips without permission, brushing the leather of his jacket. He didn’t pull away. He leaned closer. And standing there in the freezing rain with a man who could tear my throat out, I realized two things: Elder Sibal was wrong—Guilermo wasn’t a monster to be chained. And I was in serious trouble.

Elvira has one choice, stay buried in their lies or rise to destroy and take back her place.

« Es-tu vraiment venu ici pour me dire que tu étais avec une autre femme avec laquelle tu as couché et que tu as mise enceinte ? » « Quoi ? » C’est Timothée qui parle, sa voix laisse transparaître son choc alors que son regard passe de moi à Kaïs. Le regard habituellement impassible de Kaïs reste le même, comme s’il n’était pas affecté par mes paroles et la douleur qu’il m’a causée. « Ne faisons pas ça ici, Lucie. Tu sais que je ne peux pas simplement la laisser. » Je ricane. « Je ne t’en ai jamais empêché. Tu sais quoi ? Tu n’aurais jamais dû venir ici. Tu aurais dû rester avec elle puisque c’est là où se trouve ta loyauté maintenant et que je ne suis plus dans le jeu. » Kaïs fronce les sourcils, s’approche et m’intimide un peu avec sa taille et son imposante carrure : « Qu’est-ce que cela veut dire ? Tu es ma femme. » « Ex-femme, » je dis ces mots sans même y réfléchir. Je n’ai pas pensé à tout ça mais je m’en moque car tout mon être semble être d’accord sur le fait que c’est le mieux pour moi. « Je veux un divorce, Kaïs. » Ses yeux s’écarquillent, incapables de contenir le choc face à mes paroles, et je suis fière de moi, d’avoir finalement obtenu une réaction qui n’est ni de la colère ni de la froideur. « Les papiers de divorce et ma démission te parviendront bientôt. » J’ajoute avant qu’il ne puisse se remettre de son choc, et je n’attends pas qu’il réponde tandis que je me tourne vers Timothée, qui est tout aussi stupéfait. « Ramène-moi chez moi, Timothée. »

Calen was a benchwarmer on the university swim team, someone who never actually competed. The captain, Karl, was everything he wasn’t, a campus golden boy. Three records broken. A new girlfriend every other week. One night, Calen realized he’d left something behind and went back to the locker room. That was when he heard it. Ragged breathing. Strained, barely held back. And beneath it… the slow, awful sound of metal bending under pressure. He pushed the door open. Karl stood with his back to him. His bare muscles writhed beneath his skin, moving wrong, his spine standing out in sharp ridges. His fingers were dug deep into the steel locker, nails tearing through metal, leaving long, brutal gouges. The air was thick with the smell of blood… and something wild. Predatory. Karl snapped around. His eyes burned gold in the dark. Blood stained the corner of his mouth, and when he bared his teeth, the canines were far too long. Far too sharp. He ran. He barely took two steps before something crashed into him from behind, slamming him to the floor. Karl’s weight pinned him down, his body radiating heat… too hot, almost painful. A low voice brushed his ear. “You saw something you weren’t meant to see.” “I won’t say anything….” Karl lowered his head, his nose grazing his neck as he inhaled slowly, deeply. “…You smell fucking irresistible.”

After being reborn, the first thing I did was switch my newborn daughter. In my previous life, soon after she was born, a blood test showed her type was AB. But mine was B, and my husband's was O—there was absolutely no way we could have an AB-type child. My husband flew into a rage and demanded a paternity test on the spot. To everyone's shock, the results proved she was biologically related to me, but not to him. He slapped me hard across the face, his voice trembling with disappointment. "I've always treated you well. I only ever loved you—and this is how you repay me?" My mother-in-law wailed and cursed me for cheating, accusing me of bearing another man's child to steal their family fortune. I was completely stunned. I knew better than anyone who the father of my child was—how could she possibly not be my husband's? In no time, everyone turned against me. They called me a cheater, a tramp. My husband divorced me and went online to play the victim, stirring up a storm of hate and harassment that never seemed to end. With nowhere to go and no one left to believe me, I took my baby in my arms and jumped from a building. Even in death, I couldn't make sense of it all. And when I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day my daughter was born.
