As the music swirled around us, Jack extended his hand to me, his eyes gleaming with affection. "Let's go, babe," he said, his voice low and inviting.I nodded, placing my hand in his as he pulled me into the center of the dance floor. His hands found their place on my waist while mine rested on his broad shoulders. The moment we began to move, we were lost in the rhythm, our bodies swaying together in perfect harmony.The world around us faded away. It was just Jack and me, moving to the beat, wrapped in each other's presence. The lights in the room shifted between soft greens, blues, and reds, casting an otherworldly glow over everything. It felt intoxicating, as though the very air had become a living, breathing force between us.But deep down, I knew this wasn't just the magic of the prom or the music. It was something more—something I had read about in the book. The pheromones. The ones my body naturally emitted, drawing Jack closer, pulling him into a state where desire overwhel

Adrian's presence overwhelmed me, and the sweet, seductive tone in his voice wrapped around me like chains. "Come with me, girl. I will give you power, calm you at any time. Just say yes and bow down," he murmured, his large hand cupping my face. His grip was firm, almost crushing, and I could feel his dark energy seeping into me.My body felt heavy, unable to resist. My pheromone was betraying me, clouding my mind and making me weak. The air grew thick, my senses dull. I couldn't move, and I couldn't use my powers. He had me under his control, his hypnotic influence spreading like poison."Say yes, girl," he whispered, his voice dangerously soothing, pulling me deeper into his trap. I felt myself sinking, my eyes fluttering shut. But then, a sound broke through the fog in my mind."Erin!" A voice called out, sharp and urgent. "Erin, stop it!"My eyes snapped open, and I saw a ferocious, black creature standing in front of me, its presence breaking Adrian's hold. Without thinking, I p

Inhaling deeply, Adela opened her eyes and sat up on the bed right away. She gasped for air. She found it impossible to accept what she was seeing.After a while, she widened her eyes, looked at her hands, and gently touched her face. She murmured to herself, "What is going on? I was dead, right?"Adela leaped out of bed as she considered moving toward the mirror. She caressed her face and opened her mouth wide. She muttered in an incredulous tone."Oh my God, I'm still alive."However, the door suddenly opened, and Adela's maid rushed inside. When she spotted Adela, she burst into tears and embraced her firmly. Adela could not comprehend anything. It made her wonder what was happening around her.Adela's maid, Elise, said in a worried tone, "Are you okay, my lady?"Adela arched her brows and said, in a startled manner, "Yes. What happened to me? Elise, why are you crying?"Elise turned her head when she heard Adela and looked at her with startled eyes. She questioned with concern, "W

"Because I am aware of your affection for me," Adela said abruptly with a smile.Adela and Camilla were drinking tea and chatting, but Adela could not tell Camilla about her rebirth. She just told Camilla about her plans for the evening. When Camilla learned Adela had decided to attend the party, she questioned Adela in a startled tone."What? You recently had a fever, Adela, and now you want to go to the royal palace?"Adela smiled as she responded, "Yeah, but now I am well."She glanced up at Camilla and apologized to herself for not being able to tell her the truth.Camilla looked into Adela's eyes and asked, "Are you sure everything is okay?"Adela gave a simple head nod to express that everything was well. A maid abruptly entered the room and said, "milady, Lord Francis is here. He is awaiting you outside your garden."Adela's face lit up as she heard the maid's remark."Francis"As she turned to face Camilla, a wide smile curled over her lips. The last thing she remembered, Cami

"But Adela-," Alfred was about to say something, but he stopped in the middle. Seeing Alfred tighten up, the physician spoke out."Yes, my lord, I know she has the capacity to take any poison, which is why, as you can see, she isn't entirely affected. But who can predict the future?""Anything can happen."Alfred seemed gloomy as he listened to the doctor. He also understood that the doctor was correct—no one could predict what would happen in the future."My Lord, I think you should talk to the duchess. She is a sorceress; maybe she can assist us with this problem," the physician said to calm Alfred's anxiety."But I just can't. She'll be concerned if she finds out." Alfred spoke while heaving a sigh.Alfred was contemplating something serious. Adela was a miraculous child for him and his wife, and they treasured her.[The flashback ends]**Alfred's perspective.My daughter is attempting to be killed. But who? Exactly who has the nerve to poison my Adela?When Alfred was thinking ab
