Romi stood in front of her full-length mirror and bit her bottom lip. Cocking her head, she reached up to the nape of her neck. Her fingers found the embellished comb and she slid it out of her hair. Her red locks tumbled down her shoulders and she tousled them with her fingers. She looked much too formal for her date with Nyx, although she wasn’t really sure where he was taking her. She peered down at her dark skinny jeans, her black ankle boots, and her black off-the-shoulder top in a glittery fabric which resembled the starry night shining in through her window. She had loosened her hair from the bun pinned at the nape of her neck, and somehow it made her look much more casual. Her makeup was done to perfection and her blue eyes shone like the ocean glistening in the sun. She checked her watch, and suspected Nyx would arrive soon. She quickly sprayed a squirt of her favorite perfume on her wrists and behind her ears, before setting the intricate glass bottle down on her dressing table.

As she walked down the hallway, a cold shiver ran down her spine, as if someone or something was watching her, and she looked over her shoulder to the other end of the hallway, darkened by the shadows. Her eyes flashed momentarily but she did not see anything, or anyone. Her shoulders tightened as she stood perfectly still for a few moments, waiting for something to happen, but nothing did. It was completely quiet inside her house, almost too quiet.

Romi continued down the hallway to the living room and grabbed her handbag. She was sure it was nothing, but the lingering feeling of doubt swam around in the back of her mind. Maybe it was because she felt paranoid; her father’s words of warning about the bear shifters who were in the area were etched in her mind. Maybe all her senses were in hyperdrive because subconsciously she was terrified.

Or maybe it was that sinking feeling she had gotten in the pit of her stomach when she paged through her grimoire, uncovering the biggest secret her father had never told her.

Something so big, she was surprised her father did not tell her. But also she knew he could use it as ammunition against her to ensure Nyx would want nothing to do with her ever again.

She couldn’t tell Nyx. Not now. Maybe not ever.

But the truth had a way of revealing itself at the most inopportune moments.

Romi hoped it would come later, rather than sooner.

Her body jolted as a knock on her front door broke the silence in the house and Romi took a few deep breaths. She was just going to need to keep her composure, and she whispered a few words to ensure this secret was shifted to the back of her mind, at least for tonight. She would have to figure out what to do later. The important thing to focus on tonight was her evening with Nyx, and nothing was going to distract her from having a great time.
