Chapter 35
It was strange, how quickly everything could change, even though nothing really looked different. Xavier and I had done this a thousand times before—sitting together, his knee brushing against mine, watching something on TV that neither of us cared about. But now, every little touch felt charged with meaning, every glance full of something new. I shifted on the couch, glancing at him. His attention was on the screen, but I knew better. He was just as aware of this new reality as I was. The…-

Chapter 33
My body feels like jelly after what feels like sleeping for days. I stir and discover that I'm snuggled against Silas, his muscular body warm and comforting, my head resting on his chest. As I start to remember all that's happened, my eyes spring open and search the ceiling. When did I fall asleep? The shadows on the ceiling are dancing as if alive, but the room is brighter than before, gleaming off the faint mark on my hand. My hand. I lift it to the light, and the tattoo, a complex symbol, shimmers in…-

Chapter 32
The scent of her heat, a potent mix of lily of the valley and vanilla, was driving me wild. It was a perfume that seemed to seep into my very bones, a siren call that I couldn't resist. Xiomara, my Mara, was spread out beneath me like a feast, her pale skin flushed, and her blue eyes glazed over with desire. She was losing herself to the primal need of her omega instincts, and I was more than ready to answer that call. I trailed kisses up her smooth thighs, savoring the sweet taste of her slick on my…-

Chapter 30
The room was thick with the scent of dragon's blood and the sight of dancing flames. I could feel the elements around me, a chorus of ancient power that hummed with the rhythm of the earth itself. The cut on my wrist stung, a small price to pay for freedom from the chains that had bound me for so long. As the last drop of my blood fell into the bowl, the world seemed to hold its breath. A surge of energy coursed through me, a torrent of raw power that felt like it might tear me apart from the inside out.…-

Chapter 28
I was practically buzzing as I took the wheel of Gideon's car, the engine purring to life beneath my fingertips. The drive back to his place was an exercise in restraint; my hand seemed to have a mind of its own, resting on Gideon's thigh, fingers tracing idle patterns over the denim of his jeans. Every so often, he'd glance over at me, a small, private smile playing on his lips, and I'd feel my heart kick against my ribs like a wild thing trying to escape. We were a tangle of limbs and laughter, the car…-

Chapter 29
“Are you sure you want to do this tonight?” As I stepped out of the steam-filled bathroom, the scent of lavender and sage lingering on my skin from the purifying shower, Amber stood before me, her hands cradling a simple wooden box. The supplies within were more than mere objects; they were the keys to my liberation. Wrapped in the soft folds of an all-white robe, I felt a sense of clarity, the fabric a blank canvas for the transformation to come. Silas and I were supposed to be heading to a hotel…-

Chapter 26
The first thing I became aware of was the sound of my own breathing, a steady rhythm that matched the subtle rise and fall of Gideon's chest beside me. The tent was a cocoon of warmth, the early evening sun casting a golden hue through the thin fabric, illuminating the space just enough to see the contours of Gideon's face in repose. He looked peaceful, the tension that usually lined his forehead smoothed out in sleep, his full lips parted slightly. My body was sated in a way it had never been before, the…-

Chapter 25
It was hard to pass the house's threshold for the first time since the afternoon it all happened. Even with Silas flush against my back, giving me all the strength he could. I knew I had to do this; I was already halfway through the summer break, and it needed to be done before returning to school. For the last two weeks, Silas has been trying to amp me up to go back here and last night I felt strong enough to finally face it. So, today was a good day as any, but it felt like there was a barrier that kept…-

Chapter 23
The sun's descent painted the sky in hues of crimson and gold, a fiery spectacle that seemed to mirror the warmth I felt within. Xavier and I had found our camping spot, a secluded clearing that promised a night under the stars, away from the world that often felt too small to contain us. We set to work, our movements harmonized by years of friendship. The tent rose with ease, our hands deftly maneuvering poles and fabric until it stood proud against the encroaching twilight. There was an unspoken…-

Chapter 22
They had hair that was pulled back but not gelled in place. Their eyes were the most intense red that glowed, and their ears were full of piercings. They wore a dark suit with a red tie and kept a hand in their pocket casually. But the most mesmerizing thing about him was his tattoos. Half his face and entire neck were covered with them. I was too far away to see if they had any real shape, but from what I could tell, they moved. “Who are you?” I asked. “You can call me Draven.” They…-
