Chapter 63 πππ’π₯π’ππ‘ The moment the words left my mouth, reality crashed into me as I finally registered what I had just said. I should have stumbled from the weight of all the stares in my direction, but somehow my knees did not buckle. But it was Konstantinβs face that
Chapter 62 π ππ’π₯π’ππ‘ She was loud, she wanted him to hear her. Dmitri didnβt respond. Didnβt even turn to acknowledge her.

Chapter 55 Veroniqueβs laugh was sharp, brittle. “Lilith Brooks may be a Marked Hybrid, but she is no Luna, Vladimir. She will never be p> I remained by the door, arms crossed. “Your opinion has been noted p> “Itβs not opinionβitβs fact.” She reached into her jacket and pulled out
