REESEThe witch's voice was low and eerie, filled with ancient wisdom. "For unto us shall be given a child of prophecy who shall possess the power of the moon goddess."I gasped in shock as her words rang through my mind. I ran a frantic hand through my hair, and beads of sweat dotted my temples."What?!" Valeria and I cried in unison. She was as confused and shocked as I was.What was this prophecy about anyway? This was the first time I had heard of it.I blinked repeatedly, still trying to make sense of the witch's revelation."What do you mean? I don't understand. Please explain further." I said it breathlessly.The witch nodded."Very well. I understand your shock." She started and then paused, taking in a deep breath and puffing it out slowly.My heart was racing with billions of confusing questions and scenarios. How in the world was this possible? Children of the prophecy? I never knew!An uneasy, brief silence hung in the air, making me uncomfortable and restless.Finally, sh

VALERIA"The kids are awake!" It was the maid.Relief surged through me. Finally, my boys are awake, just as the witch had said!The cool air hit my skin as I climbed out of the pool. Droplets of water clung to me like dew on a summer morning.What the hell just happened a few seconds ago?!My heart pounded aggressively against my chest, like the galloping of a thousand horses. Gosh! My cheeks burned. The near kiss with Reese was still a lingering ghost between us, its phantom touch almost searing through my bones.The evening breeze howled past, causing me to shiver. I quickly wrapped my arms around myself as if to shield my heart from the overwhelming ache that had blossomed in my chest. I felt oddly bereft and devoid of his touch. I bit my bottom lip, fighting the urge to jump back into the pool and continue what we started.I grabbed a towel and wrapped it around my wet body.We had to see our sons now that they were awake. This was super important! I would attend to these chaotic

CYNTHIAMy heavy eyes fluttered open, the world around me a hazy blur of shadows and dim light. My head throbbed, a dull, persistent pain that seemed to pulse in tandem with my racing heartbeat. I tried to sit up, but my body felt heavy as if I was sinking into the mattress beneath me. Panic coursed through my body, and I quickly fought against the disorientation, forcing myself to prop upright. My wary eyes scanned my surroundings. It wasn't familiar. The room swayed, and I quickly gripped the sheets, her fingers digging into the fabric as I struggled to regain my bearings.Damn! I felt like shit! What the hell happened to me? And why was I here?Panic spread through my veins like wildfire as I realized I wasn’t in any place I recognized.What sort of place was this, and who could have brought me here?!The last thing I recalled was a blur of faces, a chase in the dark, and then… nothing. My breath hitched in my throat, my chest tightening with fear. Where the hell was I? And m

CYNTHIAI took a gentrified breath into my helpless body, my lungs quivering with residual fright. Every inhale was torture, as if it were laced with shards of glass, and my ribs would snap from the strain.My heart pounded hard and fast like the galloping of a thousand horses, a chaotic rhythm against my chest, still reeling from the encounter with Collins.His words rang through my mind, twisted and venomous, seeping into my thoughts like a creeping poison.“Chase is only using you,” Collins had whispered in that raspy, sinister tone, his burnt skin cracking with every syllable. “He plans to kill you, Cynthia. He told me himself. You need to kill him before he kills you.”The thought of it sent a shiver trickling down my spine, cold and sharp. Collins had seemed so certain, so assured in his revelation, that it had clung to me like a leech, embedding itself in my brain, that I couldn't think of anything else but fear for my life.But as I stood there, trembling and trying to steady

VALERIAI had to run out of there before I did something I’d regret. My heart raced as I stormed out of his office in a fit of panic.Fuck! What just happened?!I placed a shaky finger over my lips.The taste of Reese’s kiss still clung to my lips, a dangerous temptation that made me want to forget everything—revenge, betrayal, the endless war between us.Anger rippled through me, not targeted at Reese but at myself for falling into his trap yet again! And more shamefully, at my desire for more. Hell, I didn't want him to stop. I wanted more!I slapped my cheeks in frustration.What the hell are you thinking, Valeria?! Have you gone nuts?!I chided myself mentally and hurried to my car.Damn him!” I muttered under my breath as I climbed into my car, gripping the steering wheel so tightly that my knuckles turned white.I needed distance, needed to get home, and cleared my head before I made another mistake.Damn it, what suddenly came over me? How did I allow that to happen again?!I c
