Novel & Cerita The Secret Circle Book 1

The rest of the circle seemed to agree with his words, especially those on the black cloak. “Alright, let's move on the the next step,” Aunt Maggie took a brown chalice. She kept her hands in it and scooped some black stuff which she kept on my face. “Now we are done with the temporary rite. It's time for you to know our three rules,” she paused her words. “Number one rule,” Aunt Maggie added. “Never reveal the circle's secret to outsiders,” the circle said in unison. “The second rule-” “Never work against the circle,”

A silent understanding that this was not a therapy session. "You pressed the button faster than I predicted," she said, taking a slow sip of herbal tea as I sat down. "I've had that card ready for you for a year, Sekar. I was waiting until you stopped being my patient. And until you were ready." "Ready for what, exactly?" She slid an encrypted tablet across the marble. A silver emblem of a single flower. The Magnolia Circle. "Disclaimer first. These men are not escorts. They are Groomed Companions — educated, independently established, trained in behavioral psychology and upper-class etiquette. Equal companionship for established women."

They were spread across the land, hiding in plain sight, manipulating events from within their respective spheres of influence. She faced fierce resistance from the Circle’s members, many of whom held influential positions within the land’s political landscape. She discovered that several seemingly loyal lords and even members of the Silvermoon court were secretly pledged to the Circle. Their betrayals were subtle, masked under layers of political maneuvering and diplomatic niceties. Lyra was forced to act decisively, exposing and neutralizing these internal threats before they could further destabilize Silvermoon.

“That's it! We now have a case. But first, we need to take Mr. Sean to the station. He has a lot of questions to do,” Officer Patrick announced as he brought out his cuffs and wrapped them in Sean's hands like a prisoner. On the verge of stepping out of the vehicle, we heard a phone ring. I wasn't bothered because I recognized my caller tune. Just like me, Officer Patrick and Marcus weren't tense. Unfortunately, the only person with an awkward expression was Sean. He acted like he was hiding another dirty little secret that was more dreadful than the previous ones. He hasn't answered the phone yet, and he's already sending us some bad signals

Setting the picture to the side, Violet looked at the other things that were inside the drawer. The first thing that caught her eye was a small black book. The page Violet opened was a list. There was a name of a city, a first and last name, then a number, and finally an address. This had to be what Jeremy was looking for. She set the book to the side and looked at the rest of the contents. Some of them were letters discussing this Richard Morgan she’d heard so much about. Whoever he was, he was not only a thorn in the alpha’s side but a lot many other people.

"Yeah. The meeting will commence right after the Wintermoon holidays." "Excellent. Be careful, now. You've got to keep a close eye on that one." I paused in my action of opening the door. My confusion and uneasiness grew even more after hearing the conversation. Out of instinct, I called out to Anthony right away. Everything went silent momentarily in the main wing.

Anthony's tense visage appeared right before my eyes.

That being invisible is worse than being hated. Because at least hatred means they see you. My hand trembled as I wrote the next line. If I’m not careful, I’ll break. And I don’t know if Cole would catch me if I do. The silence of my room pressed heavy around me. I closed the journal, shoving it under my pillow like a secret I wasn’t brave enough to speak aloud. For now, it was safe. Hidden. But some secrets don’t stay hidden forever.
