The Night Before Novels & Stories

"No, you know I don't love makeups. Don't, let me just go like this. I think I have done more than enough for tonight. " I groan and she shakes her head. "No, I want you to live your life like it's the last day you're gonna live. We are gonna be having a lot of fun and maybe act a little naughty. You should dress up pretty well, after all. It's for one night anyway. " She winks at me before removing my glasses grabbing the blush and nodding to myself. That's right. It's for only one night. Just this one night for me to live my life as it had been before.

“You’re to prepare for tonight.” I blinked as I came to a stop in front of him. “Tonight?” He nodded once. “Don't act dumb. You know how it is done. Go to the washroom before midnight and make sure you're clean and ready; I'll meet you there.” The air seemed to thin around me. My hands went cold. “I understand,” I said softly. He gave a short nod and left without another word. I stood there for a long moment, my pulse climbing. I knew what “prepare” meant.

And I had to cancel my family dinner because I was just not in the right mind. Fast forward it was finally Friday. As it was going to be the official party I decided to hire someone to look after everything. Sara left on Thursday morning and she promised to check up on Saturday. "Asif is everyone there?" I grunted through the Bluetooth. Even though I had already met them in the beginning and welcomed them I had to go back. Aria was not there in that crowd. That's why. For some reasons I could feel my stomach was in knots. Something was going to happen tonight. Taking a deep breath I tried to calm down. It was difficult. After peeking in the mirror for the last time I stepped out in the lawn.

The anticipation made my core damp, knowing he would mark me that night. My resentment toward Cecilia ebbed away; she was, after all, just a woman to be pitied. After my shower, I slipped into a sheer, seductive black nightgown and awaited Vahn in bed. However, he climbed in beside me without a glance at my attire. Nestling my head against his chest, I caressed his groin with my knee. "Vahn, have you forgotten what tonight is? You need to mark me." "Let's wait until tomorrow. It's the day of Norman's funeral. It doesn't feel right to do it tonight," Vahn murmured, barely opening his eyes.

The night before That evening, I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling as my mind spun in circles. The air in the room felt too thick, pressing down on my chest like a weight I couldn’t escape. The phone beside me glowed faintly in the dark, a reminder that everything I knew was about to change. Sleep teased the edges of my mind, but it refused to stay. My thoughts raced. What if I had gone too far? What if there was no way back?

He said. "Oh okay, I think tomorrow is okay then" **The next day** As the moon rose high in the night sky, casting a soft silver glow over the city below, Rian navigated the dimly lit streets with a sense of purpose. His anticipation grew with each passing moment as he made his way to Laura's apartment, his heart quickening at the thought of spending the evening with her under the stars.

Scarlet followed the girls as they walked through the house, a little curious. “What’s going on here anyway?” Scarlet asked. “What’s with the music? Do I hear voices?” “The basement,” Jasmine said. “We’re pre-gaming for tonight.” “What’s tonight?” Scarlet asked, confused. “Duh, it’s only Bannerman’s,” Becca said. “Every year, the night after the bonfire, don’t you remember?”

Little Fashionista "Yes, I'm already here, Raf. You should actually arrive by now because your condo is nearer to the building. I even arrive earlier than you, what the hell? Did you overslept or what?" I irritatedly asked the person on the other line. I am frowning, a little irritated that Raf isn't still here when he is really needed here. I heard his faint voice on the other line. "I had some...fun last night, Trin. Come on." My jaw dropped. By 'fun', it's not a normal fun It's the other kind of fun whenever he speaks that!

I nod and move over to the closet, but I stop in the doorway and turn back to her as I say, “Wait, what is going on tonight?” I watch as Jess and Jade share a look and know that they are linking. I take a step out of the closet door and say again, “What is going on tonight?” Jade takes a deep breath and then lets it out before saying, “It’s the full moon and we are having a big party to celebrate your return.” “Oh, okay.”

THE NIGHT BEFORE The penthouse was quiet by eleven. The pack had filtered out one by one after dinner — Nadia with a final look at Rain that said everything and nothing, Jace with a casual salute that managed to be both irreverent and sincere, Lily with that smile that knew too much. Marco had cleaned the kitchen with the same wordless efficiency he applied to everything and left without ceremony. Rook had paused at the door and looked at Rain for a long moment, and said — "Get some sleep" — in a tone that meant considerably more than the words.
