“I die five years into the future,” Gods, that sounds weird. “My sister, who is Lucan’s mistress, killed me after I ended up pregnant with Lucan’s child and he finally decided to leave her.” He shakes his head. “This is fucking crazy, and I don’t know if I believe you.” I shrug. “I mean, I know a
Niklaus “She’s telling the truth,” “I know,” I say, not even looking at Shelby. There was no doubt about it; I could see on Verena’s face just how shocked she was that it wasn’t the Goddess’ doing. I don’t think she’s lying, either. “Have you ever heard of something like this?” Shelby shakes her
As usual, I keep the library for last, but in order for me to clean it, I need to walk past the room with the black door again. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve thought about going in there. But as he said, curiosity killed the cat, and the last thing I want to be is dead. So I pretend not to n

I sit and tap my pen in a staccato rhythm on the table, my thoughts already going the way I do not want them to go. It’s not my job to care for her. She doesn’t need me, and I don’t need to care for— And yet I’m already out the door and on my way to her apartment. What the hell is wrong with me? Th
Verena I open my eyes and blink a few times, my surroundings looking slightly unfamiliar. But it doesn’t take me long to realise that I’m not in my own apartment. Groaning, I sit up and look around the room feeling extremely disoriented. It’s night out and something feels…wrong; like I’m missing a
