We all froze. Silence. Everything went quiet. People's eyes moved to one another, confused. Kellan and I's gaze shifted from each other and moved to the DJ who was looking confused himself. I frowned. “What happened?” Kellan shrugged. “Maybe the DJ stopped it.” Then something shiny began to fall from the ceiling. Glitter. We stared at each other as the glitter rained from the rafters. Thousands of silver flecks catching every strobe flash, sticking to skin and hair, and the sudden stillness. Everyone cheered at first, thinking it was part of the show. But I felt…. This feeling was not good. I looked up. “Wow… this is… ” But the lights began to flicker. And a dark, creepy music crept in. The crowd stopped cheering. People looked at each other, whispering. Where was this song coming from? I knew the song that was playing. It was Royalty by Egzod, Maestro Chives, and Neoni. The same song I used to blast in my room with the windows down. Now it sounded wrong, like nails on bone. I flinched. Kellan’s hands shot out and closed around my wrist. Something lay at our feet- glitter-dust, unmoving. Long dark hair fanned across the wood. A thin red line circled her throat. I gasped. “What was that?” Someone screamed. John pushed through the crowd, shouting, “Cierra! Cierra!” He dropped to his knees beside her. “No, no, no! Baby, wake up!” My hands covered my mouth. “Oh my God… It’s Cierra.” Ava thought everything would go according to plan. Date Kellan, use him and finally get her life back. But she spoke too soon. Because in the dark, someone wanted nothing but their suffering. Their pain. Their tears. Someone wanted revenge. And whoever it was, was more than human. The devil!!!! Welcome to a game of survival, supernatural activities, never ending twist, and dark battles.

I should feel sick from deriving pleasure from this, but strangely, I wasn't. "Two?" I teased, purposely getting the numbers wrong. "You shouldn't have done that." Just as I thought, he started again, but this time he drove each hit with more force until my ass was burning. "Fifteen!" I yelled, shaking. "Wrong." My heart momentarily stopped. "I got it right!" "You missed one." He pressed his hand on my searing bottom, and I moaned. I tried to squirm away, but he trapped my hands behind my back, his voice dark with warning.

[MATURE CONTENT WARNING: 18+ ONLY. Contains explicit smut, omegaverse, knotting, and mpreg.] "Fuck, still so tight." That's the first thing I hear after dying. Not a heavenly choir, not a wise guide explaining the mechanics of reincarnation, just a voice like dark honey and broken glass, breath scorching hot against my neck, and a body that absolutely isn't mine rolling its hips back like it has no objections whatsoever to what's happening to it.

Wuchen Bael, my sister's fiance, the man who looked me dead in the eye afterward and said, without blinking.. "Round two?" And I haven't even gotten to the part where I find out I'm pregnant.
