“While I can still feel the truth driving into me.” His breath hitched, and for a flicker of a second—he was vulnerable. Real. “She wanted more than me,” he said hoarsely. “She wanted my power. She thought if she seduced it out of me, she could control it. Rule beside me.” Lydia swallowed hard. “And?” “She used the Seventh Sin without understanding it. She called on what lives below this house. It nearly killed us both.” “What is the Seventh Sin?” He brushed her hair from her face. “It’s not just power, Lydia. It’s addiction. Once you touch it, you crave it. You beg for it. You lose yourself in it.”

The road ahead was uncertain, but I was determined to carve my own future, no matter who or what got in my way. And in the distance, I saw the glimmer of a man who could change everything. He was coming. And I had no idea what kind of storm he would bring with him. But I was ready. Or at least, I hoped I was. I couldn’t shake the feeling that everything I had worked so hard to build was about to crumble beneath me, swept away by forces I couldn’t control. But I would face it all. I had to. I wasn’t the woman I once was, no longer the frightened girl who had been cast aside by the world. I was Eli. And no matter what storm that man brought, no matter how deep the web of deceit we were tangled

“I am the deceiver who caused the fall of man and beguiled the woman. I am the first of my kind and the serpent of the beginning. I am the genesis of all who crawl and snore.” “I am Leviathan”

Mary turned to look at the council head and fell to his knees, “I am sorry, Sir. I know I made a mistake but I wanted to advance through the ranks quickly, I tricked, lied, and cheated my way through the system and jumped the ladder.” Klout gave her a disbelieving look. “You mean you admit to all of the crimes mentioned in this file?” Mary nodded her head a bit too enthusiastically, making Silas just furrow his eyebrows.

I coaxed them by leaving shiny things around them, things they yearned, gold coins, treasu

Cassian muttered, “Okay, that’s somehow worse.” Ronan’s voice was hoarse. “Then who—?” The figure’s gaze fixed on Lyra—sharp, assessing, ancient. “I am the First.” Silence detonated across the ridge. Not a gasp. Not a whisper. A stunned, soul-deep silence. Malachai staggered a step back. “The First Blood… the origin of the Oath…” Cassian’s jaw dropped. “Wait. I thought that was a myth. Like ‘don’t eat raw deer, you’ll get worms’ kind of myth.”
