Allow me to show you."He said and snapped his fingers. The sound of metal clashing against glass filled the air and i craned my neck in the direction of it.

Zayn hit the speaker. Myra’s voice came through — tight, controlled, but edged with raw pain. “Zayn. I need you to listen and not hang up. The crown was stolen two nights ago. The real Yadav ancestral crown — the one my family swore to protect. The one that’s been in every vision Isha keeps having.” Zayn’s hand froze on Isha’s hip. “Myra… how do you know about the visions?” “Because someone called me last night. They told me the creature in the lake only rises when the crown moves through water. They told me it hunts the men who love the women who do. And right now, Zayn, that’s you.”

I'll tell the world about your twisted soul, how you'd drink your own brother's blood for wealth." Mom's head was wrapped in a bloody bandage, her eyes gleaming with something dark and strange.
