I sat up, rubbing my throbbing temples, and walked to the window, pulling aside the heavy velvet curtains. Outside, a blizzard raged, blanketing the world in a chaotic swirl of white. And in that whiteness stood a solitary black figure. Daemon was wearing a thin black cashmere coat, completely covered in snow. A layer of frost coated his hair and eyebrows. He stood there, rigid, his gaze locked on the faint light of my bedroom window. I sighed, opened a black umbrella, and walked out into the swirling snow. The moment Daemon saw me, his lips already purple from the cold, he spoke with desperate haste.

“I don’t have anything appropriate for being kidnapped into a billionaire meeting.” Violet’s jaw tightened. “There are clothes in the dressing room.” “Of course there are,” I muttered. She stepped closer, voice lowering. “Don’t embarrass him.” I leaned in, smiling sweetly. “Don’t tempt me.” Violet held my gaze for a second longer, then turned and left. I dressed in the least “wife-like” outfit I could find—black slacks, a white blouse, hair pulled back. Not because I wanted to look nice. Because I refused to be underestimated.

Charlie stepped toward it and felt her skin prickle, the same electric pressure she felt before a storm breaks. "What is that?" she whispered. "A ward," Wren said. "My mother specializes in them." "You didn't mention she's a witch." "She's not." Charlie gave him a look. "Wren, this is witch behavior." "She's... something else." Before she could demand clarification, Wren lifted his hand and pressed his palm to the veil. The barrier rippled like disturbed water, then parted, revealing a narrow passage of swirling silver light. Wren gestured. "After you."

“He’s going to love this. Thank you. Now back to you , did anything crazy happen? Any new dreams? Did the light power do anything wild while you were there?” Before I could answer, a woman walked past us in the hallway. She was veiled, wearing elegant but modest robes, her face mostly covered except for her eyes. Something about her felt… off. Familiar in a way that made my stomach twist. The golden light inside me flickered uneasily for a second. I frowned and leaned toward Varynia. “Who is that? The veiled woman who just passed. I’ve never seen her before.” Varynia glanced over quickly and shrugged. “Oh, that’s just one of the new courtesans. She arrived while you were away. Pretty, isn’t

I asked. She turned slightly. “The veil,” I said, gesturing to my own face. “I thought that tradition had mostly died out across the packs.” She shrugged. “Some still practice.” “What are the central tenets?” I asked. “I’m curious.” A pause. Slightly longer than it should have been. “Prayer. Devotion to the Goddess.” She stopped, then continued, “the veil is a commitment. The removal of vanity before the divine.” “And the name?”

“Because grief doesn’t always weaken. Sometimes... it makes you thirst for blood.” I walked into the war room. Tables strewn with maps, ancient scrolls. A portrait of the Moonveil family hung on the far wall. Silver eyes stared back from the canvas. And at the center... Willow. Young. Painted, but unmistakably Moonveil. Even in oil and pigment, her bloodline pulsed. “If he won’t come to me,” I said, “then we go to him.” Kael blinked. “Alone?” I smiled. “Of course not. I’m bringing a gift.”

The hall was resplendent, decorated in hues of gold and ivory, with hundreds of candles casting a warm glow over the ornate floral arrangements. Guests mingled, their chatter and laughter blending with the soft strains of a string quartet playing in the corner. Olivia stood at the far end of the room, dressed in an elegant white gown that shimmered faintly under the light. The intricate lace detailing hugged her frame delicately, and the veil pinned in her hair cascaded like a waterfall down her back.

aphine followed a guard as he led her to the dining room. Luckily, Elaina's maid arrived on time with a blue dress for Elara. They decided that she should wear the blue dress instead of the white one. Only females who were about to wed wore white dresses, and Seraphine didn't want to make Elaina think otherwise. When they got to the door, the guard opened it to let them in. There were so many people dressed like nobles in the room. But from the looks on their faces, you could tell that they weren't from noble families. When Seraphine's eyes met Daven, she noticed him staring at her dress, a frown on his face. Just then, Elaina walked up to her. She was dressed in a beautiful green gown. "I d

Former runway model and once married to a popular pop star, now chief communications and brand officer of the Hawthorne group and divorced. She was staring back at one of Penelope’s fashion and lifestyle idols. It reminded her that she needed to know why Penelope ran away. Clad in a sleek, caramel-colored leather trench coat held at the waist with a matching belt, Vanessa exuded effortless sophistication. The kind of woman that naturally intimidated Kallista. The coat parted slightly as she moved, revealing a fitted cream silk blouse tucked into high-waist tailored trousers in a rich espresso hue. The straight pleats and precise tailoring of the trousers emphasized her elegant frame.
