Romans & histoires The Guild Member Next Door Chapter 1

Everything must be done faster and perfectly. Note: Hellow, everyone! I will update tomorrow. In this month, we will see Soheila's journey as a disciple at the Royal Heavenly Sect. This is just a short update. And I recommend to turn off the auto buy the next chapter since you might buy the 'Guides Part 2!' accidentally. It has to be free, I have to felete it first. Don't stress yourself, everyone! Breathe and don't forget to rest!

But beneath all of it, a fire burned. I wasn’t walking in here as the cursed girl anymore. I wasn’t walking in as the broken mate, or the grieving mother, or the outsider clinging to scraps of belonging. I was walking in as Rory. Moonborn. Fated. Fighter. And I would make them see me. With my chin high and Riven’s cloak heavy across my shoulders, I pushed the doors open and stepped into the council chamber. The council chamber smelled faintly of smoke and iron when I entered. Not the full assembly

He stepped ahead to the mailroom entrance and held it open for me, his fingers brushing lightly against my arm as I passed him. My skin warmed instantly at the contact, but the reaction wasn’t sharp like before. It wasn’t hunger. It wasn’t obsession resurfacing. It was awareness. Soft, steady awareness. “Thanks,” I said. “Anytime.” Inside, a few neighbors were chatting quietly. A couple sorting mail. A woman pushing a stroller. And from the open door leading to the courtyard, the smell of something smoky and familiar drifted in. I sniffed the air. “Is that… grilled food?”

If I didn't try this now, would I regret it later? While I was still wavering, a muffled sound came from the bedroom next door. It was Rina's voice. From the rhythm of those moans, Draven was clearly doing a good job. My whole body tensed. I wanted to feel that good, too. Kian noticed the look on my face. He reached down and grabbed my legs. "You hear that? Sounds pretty hot, doesn't it? Don't you wanna give it a try?" I bit my lip, then nodded.

The guild was very lively, and no one noticed that the pitiful young heir had been missing for several days. When Hogster and his group returned to the guild in their miserable state, a fellow guild member at the door stopped them. “Who are you? You’re not allowed to enter the Hexa Guild without permission!” The person at the door stopped Hogster fiercely. He covered his nose in disgust at the foul smell. Hogster was shocked that someone dared to stop him. He was furious and slapped the person in the face. The person was stunned by the slap before he knew what was going on. However, he felt something familiar about this slap.

“You’d think he was your sworn enemy with that attitude, but you love him deeply.” He raised an eyebrow. “Huh? What love are you talking about?” I shook my head, laughing softly. “Forget it.” He chuckled. “By the way,” I said, setting my glass down, “I think I’m ready to meet the council members tomorrow.” He tilted his head, the softness in his voice catching me off guard. “Are you sure?” “Yes,” I replied. “Alright,” he nodded. “Then we’ll also do the initiation ritual tomorrow. That way, you can be part of our mindlink.”

"Come to the club. Half the old crew's here. Figured you needed dragging out of whatever hole you've buried yourself in since you left Venice." Ordinarily, I would have declined. Ordinarily, staying in with my own thoughts held more appeal than an underground club full of noise and people I hadn't seen in years. But I was still half hard over a man who'd fled my kitchen, and something about the idea of drowning that particular problem in noise and distraction suddenly seemed like the better plan. "Send the address," I said. ———

As soon as I unlocked the room's door with my keys, I heard the quick movements from inside. "It's Ishabella of Midnight shadow code," I informed before entering inside. That was my guild's name which was exclusively named by my father himself. "We greet you Boss," the people inside bowed down in respect. I got inside and closed the door. I asked them to get seated and I myself sat down. I looked at them, although they had masks on but I can still figure out their identities by their voices and eyes. "Why is Lucas not among you?" I asked after finding out Lucas was missing. My guild was made up of ten members but only nine were present.

I make my way down the stairs, and as soon as I start descending the last flight, the voice I hear turns me to ice. “Cousin Salvatore!!” ***** You asked. I delivered💕💕 How do you all like the new chapters? Any comments or guesses on what's coming next??

“Excuse me? And you’re just telling me now? Spill everything!” I sighed, trying to figure out where to begin. “His name is Evan. He lives next door to my aunt. We met on New Year’s Day when I was, uh… going to get water because the house ran out.” Rachel laughed. “Romantic. So, what’s he like?” “Honestly? He’s… different. He’s confident but not arrogant, and he has this way of making everything feel significant, you know? Like when he talks, it’s like he sees right through you.”
