Chapter 143 Chapter 143 Adelaide Other than the sound of Violet’s babbles, everything went quiet. It was as if the world had stopped moving, but only inside this hut. No one spoke, no one breathed–while outside was chaos. In the distance, we could hear the sounds of shouting, howling, and

Chapter 142 Chapter 142 Adelaide Squeals filled the hut as Alaric tossed Violet into the air. “Who is my little princess?” he cooed, catching her. Although Violet obviously couldn’t reply, she responded with loud giggles. “That’s right, you are,” Alaric grinned, pressing a kiss to her cheek. “And Daddy loves

Chapter 141 Chapter 141 Adelaide Asking whether someone was okay was just a normal question–but deep down, I had already started panicking. It was just words, and I hadn’t meant anything by it—but the look on Claire’s face sent a cold chill down my spine. What if today was the

Chapter 140 While everyone was inside, talking and catching up, I found myself sitting in the corner, watching Violet as she tried to crawl on a plaid. Even though my focus should’ve been on Violet and Violet only–it wasn’t. It was on Elyx … Not because I wanted to, but

Chapter 139 My eyes were closed, hands in my lap, as I sat in the temple trying to concentrate. As always, I didn’t get very far with Valer groping beside me, interrupting my peace. She was always like this, and it didn’t matter with who–een with my friends who she

Chapter 138 Chapter 138 Adelaide Everything stopped. My breath hitched as I turned to Elyx. Was he serious? My eyes shifted to everyone in the room, but no one dared to say a word not even James. It had always been like that. Back in the day, he might’ve been

Chapter 137 Adelaide My eyes were glued to Claire, my heart pounding in my chest. How could it not when this was the friend I had worried about the most? The one whose validation I had sought the most. Even though she was still breathtakingly beautiful with her golden hair

Chapter 136 Adelaide Like every morning, I knelt by the creek in the woods, scrubbing the wooden bowls from the temple. It wasn’t because we had to, but because we wanted to. From giving us a place to stay to help me strengthen my powers–Grandpa Aelius had done so much

Chapter 135 I looked down at Violet, holding her in my arms while lying in bed. She was wide awake, releasing tiny breaths as her big blue eyes scanned the room full of curiosity. She was just a baby, but so observant–something she must have at least gotten from me.

Chapter 133 133 Adelaide It felt as if the world around me had stopped. I softly clutched my chest, trying to steady my breathing. After sacrificing my position as the next High Priestess, I didn’t ave a whole lot to sacrifice, so I didn’t like where this was headed. “The

Chapter 132 Adelaide I fluttered my eyes open, feeling the bright morning sun stream through the small window. Nothing from yesterday was a blur–I remembered it all very clearly. Mom and Esther, Baelor, fleeing to the cave… A weak sigh escaped my lips. It was officially graduation day, and I

Chapter 131 Chapter 131 Adelaide Hearing the sound of a loud gasp, my eyes immediately shot open. Alaric’s wide blue eyes locked on mine, his breathing heavy and uneven. Worried, I placed my hand on his chest as it rose and fell. “You’re okay p> Before I could stop myself,

Chapter 130 Adelaide I groaned, pulling the sled I had managed to put together from broken branches and leaves. On top of it lay Alaric, still unconscious, as he had left me no choice. It would’ve spared me a lot of time and strength if he had just listened to

Chapter 129 Chapter 129 Adelaide Making my eyes glow, I shifted my attention to Mom and Ether, who still had their eyes closed, chanting to bring back Baelor. They were too focused to notice me approaching, and I knew that if I wanted to do something–now was my chance. My

Chapter 127 Where am I headed? Those were all the questions I couldn’t help but ask myself as I looked into the mirror. My face, my hair, even my body–they all looked the same, but I knew damn well that I wasn’t the same cruel person I had been four

Chapter 126 Year 4 Adelaide “ One more day, Addy!” Claire squealed, pulling me into a tight hug. “Can you believe it? We’re finally graduating p> Her eyes sparkled as she pulled back to look at me. Claire had been like this for months, probably because she actually had her
