"Mercy. Yes. That's her name. She gave me your number and told me that you aren't around,” Tracy sighed in relief. She was glad Mercy didn't tell her that she no longer works there. She didn't want Aria to know about it, else she could think lowly of her. "Yes. I'm not around at the moment. Adrian and I… we uh… we…” She was thinking of what to say. "We went on a vacation” "Vacation? Where?” "London,” Tracy said. "Wow. That doesn't seem so Adrian like to have done that. He really loves you to have to take you there, a place that reminds him of his accident,”

“I still do okay! The only reason I acted all slutty last night was because we were at the edge of the cliff. Lennox is crazy, the possibility that he could have driven the car into the water is high. And I am not about to risk my life for something that could have been easily avoided. Now, shut up, Aria” Aria chuckled inside of me. “So, you do agree that you are a slut. A slut for him. A slut for the triplets” I ran my hands through my hair frustratedly and decided to ignore her taunts. Luckily for me, since today was a Saturday, there was a high chance that the triplets had left for this fund-raising event that their dad always forced them to attend. At least, I had the whole house to myse

" He shoved me into the cargo area of the car. Bang! The trunk door slammed shut, and I was left alone in the confined space. Outside, laughter and friendly conversation ensued, interspersed by the sound of Zayden's gentle voice as he placated Erica, "Don't mind her. She's been spoiled rotten by her family since she was young and wants the best for herself." "Does she really hate me, Zayden?" Erica asked demurely. "No, she's tempestuous, that's all. She'll get over it in a while," Zayden reassured her. I leaned against the trunk, feeling my breathing become more and more difficult. The thin air at high altitude made every breath hard, and the confined space made it even worse.

Ariel repeats, stricter this time, giving me no choice but to tell him. "I want to go to him," I breathe, pulling my legs closer to my body as I peer at the fire. I'm lonely. "That plan failed earlier, so I don't understand how or why I would succeed this time." "I will take you to him," Ariel gets up on his feet, brushing invisible dust from his expensive suit. His stormy eyes land on mine. "I'm a dragon-shifter with a rider, so I can't allow you to sit on my back, but I can carry you in my claws." A grin breaks out over his face. "I will drop you right above the Fae camp, and when you find Lucy, tell him all those things you told me."

"Since I was a child." "What does it say?" Lucian looked at Aria. "It calls your name." THE TRAP Suddenly, the doors slammed shut. Aria turned. "Gabriel?" He tried opening them. Nothing. Lorenzo raised his weapon. "We're trapped." A screen activated. Adam appeared. "Welcome to the Second Gate." Aria stepped forward. "Let my brother go." Adam smiled. "I was hoping you'd say that." "Why?" "Because now we can begin." The machines around Lucian activated.

Eva’s POV We’re barely ten steps down the tower when Parker trips over his own foot. “Watch it, klutz,” Trixie says, grabbing his arm before he face-plants down the spiral staircase. “Try not to die. It’d ruin my day.” “Don’t flatter yourself, Witchlet,” Parker mutters. “I’m just allergic to stone and bad attitudes.” Behind us, Lenny yelps. “I swear something touched me. Right here. Right on the butt.”

Cedric asked Aria. "No!" Aria defended herself. "She's the one who—" "It's alright, Cedric," Scarlett interrupted her once again. She held onto Cedric's arm and looked up to his eyes. "I'm sure Aria didn't mean to do it—although she did trip on herself when she was near me." Cedric let out a sigh. "Why would you do that, Aria?" he asked in a gentle tone. Aria pursed her lips together. She feels like she has been set-up. She looked at Scarlett and saw that she was looking at her with a smirk. However, when Cedric glanced at her, she quickly morphed her face back into a pitiful state.

“ Anyone know where we are headed? “ Maria asked out. The girls in the car gave her a thorough scan. “ To Paris. “ Dencia, a girl in the van sarcastically said. Maria sat up, “ We are going to Paris? “ Dencia laughed. “ She's joking. “ lindy shoved Maria by the shoulder. “ Just keep it low, don't disturb us. “ Dencia rudely stated. Two hours had passed, the van was still on the road. The journey was taking too long. “ Where are we headed? The end of the world? “ Maria cried out. “ If you have a sex club that hosts sex games, wouldn't it be a discreet place? Dencia asked, irritated. “ What if we are going to get killed? “ Maria's anxiety was off the roof. “ at least it would be a befitting de

"What? We're in July, tornadoes don't happen in July." Arc's expression remained deadpan. "This is Thorne town, sweetheart, anything can happen." The car screeched and swerved, threatening to tumble out of control. Chelsea's heart raced as he wrestled with the wheel, finally managing to slam on the brakes and bring the vehicle to a stop. "Fuck!" Arc exclaimed, his voice tight with alarm. "You almost got us killed!" Chelsea's face flushed with a mix of fear and embarrassment, but his attention snagged on the unexpected endearment Arc had used. He didn't want to reveal how it affected him, so he glared at Arc instead.

“You are it.” Xanden sat up beside me, brows furrowing. “I’ve never felt anything like this before. And I’ve fought beside seers, priestesses, even starborn warriors. But this bond? It’s alive.” He reached for my hand. I let him take it. The moment our fingers touched, a shimmer of light spilled out—moonlight and shadow, entwined around a core of ocean-blue energy. I gasped. “Althea…” Cassian knelt in front of me, eyes locked on the magic now rising from our bond like mist. “There are only three known triadic bondings recorded in supernatural history.
