A nurse, catching sight of her wild struggle, quickly restrained her, shouting for a doctor to sedate her. "I want to see Kurt…" … I was at home, recovering, when my phone wouldn't stop ringing.

That number—I could recognize it with my eyes closed.

"How can we piece together what we don't even know?" Thea took a deep breath, her gaze drifting as if caught between worlds. "You will know when the next awakening is due. Until then, however… the answers you seek are hidden in shadows. You need to prepare for a journey through secrets and fragments that may at first seem insignificant.

Aaron asked, glancing between Thea and me, that warrior spirit shining in him.

We both yelled "okay” and turned over. We left the candle glowing in the corner so we could find our stuff in case we needed to go pee. Sleep wasn’t coming. Not after Sally’s vivid, no-filter storytelling about her sex life. She’d lit a fire in me that wasn’t going out anytime soon. It was too hot under the blanket. I kicked it off. I needed to cum—bad.

If anything, he seemed more fired up than usual, which made me suspect the only reason he'd brought me along was to show off in front of Raul. When he was finished, Dylan drifted off into a satisfied, snoring sleep. But I was still restless. I hadn't brought any of my toys along, so I had to resort to squeezing the blanket between my legs to dull the nagging ache inside me. "Maia, are you still awake?"
