“Perfect.” Ajax and Aaron walked off, and I leaned my head on Zane’s shoulder. He put an arm around me, planting a gentle kiss to my head. – But not even his touch helped right now. Mom was out there, alone, in pain, terrified. And it was all because of me. I’d practically led the…

Zane wrapped his arms around me instantly, strong and steady, holding me so close it felt like he was trying to shield me from the world. His chin rested on the top of my head and he kept murmuring something I couldn’t make out, his voice low and warm. Just the sound of it kept…

“Yeah.” I kissed her again, holding her closer. “Of course.” I missed the time when her bed felt like the most comfortable place in the world. Even as we lay there, I kept my ears trained on the hall, every muscle in my body ready to move if needed. I wasn’t sure what was going…

My stomach twisted, tears pricking my eyes. “In a cave,” I whispered. “Somewhere. What do we do?” I asked, voice shaking. “We watch,” he said simply. “We listen. And we wait until we know exactly what we’re dealing with.” I nodded, even though my hands felt cold. Because deep down, I knew it. This wasn’t…

My stomach twisted the moment he picked up the call. Sapphire. It had to be Sapphire. She would probably tell him that I called her multiple times. I completely forgot about that. “Lia?” Warner frowned, talking on the phone. “You called Sapphire?” “When?” I muttered, feigning ignorance. “When?” Warner repeated to her. Then he glanced…

She saved my world from falling apart. Just like a mother was supposed to. “Lia?” Zane strode inside the washroom, closing the door and locking it. My eyes widened and I backed away from him, gaping. “You’re not supposed to be in here, Zane.” “Are you crazy?” he asked, walking towards me. I backed away…

All my friends, my classmates, turned into statues with a single command. This was a curse. Being her daughter was a curse. I’d thought it was a gift. But no. This would be my undoing. I took a gulp of air, trying to think. To get my mind to work. All my closest confidants were…
