“Is she okay?”
“No. She shifted.” I see Neah’s eyes widen. “In fact she has shifted multiple times. She tried hurting herself. And it’s not the first time.”
“What do you mean?”
“She is covered in scars, from before she was turned. Her arms and shoulders are littered with thin silvery lines. She hides it well, but I think there is more to her past than she shares. I want to keep an eye on her. And maybe you should spend some time with her.”
“Me?”
“She called herself a monster.”
I wait for Neah to say something but she just slowly nods her head at me.
“She needs someone to look up to. Maybe you can be like a big sister to her, show her that it's not all bad.”
“Not so mean after all?” she muses as I move to the basin to grab her a glass of water.
“Is that what you think?” I cock an eyebrow at her as I hand her the glass.
She doesn’t respond. Instead she chooses to press her lips to the glass and I see a tiny curve at the corners that she is fighting to hide as she sips the water.
“There are people arriving today.” I remind her
“At least I don’t have to lie now.” She smiles with her lips but it doesn’t quite meet her eyes
“No, but you should be aware that many of these people won’t want to be here.”
“But they are contracted to do so?” Neah asks
“Yes, they also will not be afraid to make their feelings clear.”
“Right.” She sighs, “What exactly does it say in the contracts?”
“That they will protect any of my heirs at all costs.”
“And if they don’t?”
“Do you really want me to answer that?”
Wrinkles appear on her forehead. She opens her mouth to say something, but the words disappear as she makes a beeline to the toilet, thrusting the glass into my stomach on her way.
I wait for her to finish and when she looks at me, her skin has that same grey complexion as when I first met her. “Nyx thinks something is wrong.”

Next chapter??? Must know what happens!!...
These new chapters ate shorter than paragraphs. Makes reading this story quite annoying at the moment...
So... after 546 now what? I know this cannot just be the end of the story? So when is there a new chapter? I've literally read this in 4 days!...
Hi, I’m usually a silent reader, and first of all, I love the story, but is it possible to avoid the blue texts? Cuz a lot of us are missing a lot of the story due to the texts not loading. I am missing a lot no matter have many times I try to reload. If not, that’s okay as well. Thank you for the amazing entertainment and content...
Loving this story! Can’t wait for you to add more 😁...
Is it just me or are the blue text not loading and every other time I try the captcha it pops up a new tab? Other than that live the story...
I love this book!!!...
Highly appreciated with you response. Thank you so much for this information. We would wait.. definately bcz tats how gripping your story is...so we love you...and we wud wait......
I love the way you are continuing the story. It's easy to follow, easy to pause, and easy to get back on track with. Me having three little children, it's hard to find "me time" but when I do I get caught up with this book. I love it!!!!...
