The world flashed purple, as visions danced across my mind, visions I wasn't quick enough to capture fully, just glimpses here and there, nothing I could make out or understand. Frustrated, I tried to scream but felt my voice cut off. Panic exploded in my chest as I tried to fight Sage's hold. It felt like I was suffocating, drowning in the magic Astaroth was weaving through me.
"I agree." Sage's final words before everything went dark and the demonic realm, the black fluff, the handsome faces of the men I loved and the world around me ebbed away.
"I love you, angel! Only you." My Knox.
I love you Charlotte, never forget that." My Kane.
The final words echoed through my mind as sleep took hold and peace finally settled in my core.
I woke up in my room in the Luna suite, the dim glow of the clock catching my eye: 9 PM. The silence around me felt thick and unsettling like a great evil had been in here. Sitting up quickly, I scanned the room expecting to see something hiding in the shadows.
"Nothing." I rasped, laying back down, my hand resting on the pillow to my right, the other on the left. Suddenly, I realised I was alone, Knox and Kane were nowhere to be seen, and the last vivid memory I had was of the intense, passionate love we shared that afternoon. The thought alone made my cheeks burn and my thighs press together involuntarily as heat spread through me.
Still wrapped in the lingering passion of those memories, I pushed myself out of bed. The room felt too empty without them, and a part of me couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. Determined to find them, I slipped on my robe and quietly opened the door.
Just as I stepped into the hallway, I collided with Chase, his blonde hair and blue eyes, seeming off too. His smile was sheepish, almost as if he’d been waiting for me.
“Hey, Queenie. Fancy a bite to eat?” he asked, his tone a little too casual.
