Hi. I'm Mahogany. My birthday is in two days and turning 16 is the equivalent to death in my case. I was never supposed to be born and according to the law I am technically illegal. Married couples are only allowed 3 children, but I am a fourth. I'm a mistake. I should not be here. I should be dead. But the corporation has rules against killing an innocent child without reason, even though that's what they do to 14 of us every year. They tell us sins, only to send us out to die so they can feel the weight of theirs sins lifted off their shoulders. And since I will be eligible to be selected to go and have myself slaughtered, they will now have a way to kill me.

book 1 of the windows of the soul duology ✿ ✿ ✿ lucent: softly bright or radiant ✿ ✿ ✿ My brother's hand traces the cut on my right cheek for some minutes. I have no idea how a cut can be so interesting, but I won't judge a book by its cover. He unexpectedly moves and places a heartwarming kiss on my crown, brushing through the strands of my hair. But what startles me the most, is when he speaks, "Duerme bien, mi niña bonita." And just as I wasn't able to sleep hours ago because of my stupid fear, I let myself fall into a dreamless sleep as his soothing voice travels through my ears. ✿ ✿ ✿ Layla Rivera. A young naive fourteen-year-old who's just lost her childhood best friend and guardian. She's anxious and timid when meeting other people, so she usually cowers and distracts herself, immerse between the pages of books. When she is thrown into the lion's den - or also named as her older brothers' house - she's left fearful and intimidated by the six foot three males who she never had a clue about. Trying to make sense of what her new life will bring while being unaware of the dangers her new home beholds, she tries to make her way into her new family, but it doesn't seem as easy as she expected, or is it? ©️juststarsandbooks All written works on this account belong to Juststarsandbooks.
