NaomiI sank into the plush, teal jade comforter and let out a contented sigh. The room was like a sanctuary, with large windows allowing the golden rays of the morning sun to pour in. As I awoke from sleep, my thoughts turned to my family back home. I could almost taste my mother’s homemade meals and hear my sister’s laughter echoing through the house. But then reality hit me; I was here at the Chaos Coven, cut off from them with no way of communicating. They didn’t even know where I was. It felt like we were living in parallel universes, each going about our lives without ever finding a way back to each other. A sense of longing washed over me as I nestled down on my cotton candy cloud of a bed.Lying in bed, I couldn’t escape the suffocating silence that filled the room. As my thoughts drifted to my younger sister, a pang of envy and bitterness rose within me. My parents were always driven by ambition, using their children as pawns in their pursuit of power.She was always the favou

NaomiCal leads us out the back of the house, his grip on my arm tight enough to bruise as we step into the garden. A patch of scorched earth catches my eye and I shudder at the sight of odd stones scattered around. Cal’s face turns to a scowl as he notices where I’m looking. “Hurry up, pet,” he snaps, unlocking his car and opening the passenger door for me.

My eyes are drawn to the intricate symbol tattoos adorning his bulging muscles, and I cannot help but feel both intimidated and mesmerised by them as they start to writhe and twist, m

NaomiCal staggers back, his dark eyes gleaming with a dangerous glint. I smirk and spit out his blood, wiping my mouth on the back of my hand with contempt. “I reject you and this worthless bond, Cal!” I sneer as he chuckles, his hands gripping my shoulders with an iron grip to prevent me from pulling away.“That’s not how it works, pet,” his eyes glinted with a predatory glimmer. I could feel the weight of his words bearing down on me as he spoke, and the fear that rose up in my chest only fuelled his excitement. Obviously, he wasn’t going to tell me what I wanted to know - but I couldn’t help but wonder if Odette would be more forthcoming. But all of our previous conversations had ended in failure and frustration. “Don’t even think about asking anyone else,” he sneered, tightening his grip on my arm until I could already feel the bruise forming under his fingers. His hold was like a vice, trapping me in a web of deceit and manipulation.My heart raced as I braced myself for a confro
