Chapter: HUNTER AND TRAITOR it was midnight and the war room breathed like a living thing at Vincent's stronghold. Shadows stretched long against the jagged walls, crawling upward as though desperate to escape. The ceiling arched into darkness, swallowing each sound until every word spoken inside seemed to echo with unnatural weight.Lanterns dangled low and the runes carved deep into the obsidian floor pulsed faintly, each symbol glowing like the heartbeat of the fortress itself. The scent of incense clung to the air.Lucas stood at the center of the circle. The light of the runes licked up his boots, tracing his outline in ghostly fire. His face was composed, and blank, but the steady rise and fall of his chest betrayed the war within. His heart thundered, beating against his ribs like war drums summoning armies.Around him, Vincent’s lieutenants stood in grim silence, a ring of predators ready to devour one of their own. Three shadow priests flanked the edges of the room, their robes pooling like spilled in

Chapter: THE RISE OF THE HEIRSTwenty years had passed since they escaped from Vincent's grasp.The woman at the head of the conference table tapped her silver pen once against a thick folder and looked up, eyes steady and unflinching.The boardroom was silent.Her presence alone commanded the room.“Share prices are stable and our overseas partners have doubled their interest in our arcane shielding prototypes,” she paused as she scanned the room before continuing. “Now, onto the important matter, are our people in place?”A man in a tailored suit nodded quickly. “Yes, Chairwoman Grey. Four families confirmed allegiance. The fifth is silent but leaning in our favor.”Lily Grey leaned back, her long coat pooling behind her, and finally smiled.It was the smile of a woman who had survived hell and rebuilt her throne from its ashes.“Good,” she said. “Then begin the vote. We fund the expedition, initiate pre-deployment on the veil ward technology... and remind the families what’s really at stake.”As the room buzze

Chapter: SHATTERED ILLUSIONS It had been a week since we entered the human world, my world.The wind was gentler here.No howls. No tremors in the earth. Just sunlight cutting through the trees, the smell of rain on old leaves, and the quiet hum of distant cars.we had safety, but still yearned for peace.I kept looking back with every sound, scared that we will soon be discovered.Lily sat on the porch steps of the small cabin we had gotten. Her hair was pulled into a braid, her hands clutched the same flower crown she had made weeks ago, by now the petals were long since dried.I watched her from inside, my hands trembling as I closed the burner phone I had just used.I had made contact with an old friend. A rogue, I had met from the war.And I he had told me the truth.And it felt like poison in my mouth.Eric Grey never brought us into his fortress just to protect us.He brought us there because he needed us.The twins were the last known offspring of the High-Blooded Lycan line, a bloodline prophesied to bri

Chapter: THE PRICE OF POWER The cell was colder than the last one, smaller too.It was like a box with no windows. Just thick, enchanted stone walls that pulsed with magic. My wrists were raw from the new chains, and Lily lay curled against me, trembling, her small hands balled into fists.“He’s not gone,” she whispered. “Lucas is still in there. I can feel him.”Her confidence surprised me. I had already begun to give up on him, but here she was, determined.I brushed her hair gently. “I know, baby. He’s just scared and confused.”“But he heard me,” she said desperately, tears slipping from her eyes. “He heard me and he walked away.”My throat tightened. I didn’t know what to say. Because I had seen it too, the flicker of regret in Lucas’s little eyes, buried under doubt, power or maybe purpose.The kind of purpose Vincent twisted just enough to squeeze into his mind.Lily wiped her face with the edge of her sleeve. “Why didn’t he come back?”“He just wants to find himself, he'll be back. I promise” I said tr

Chapter: THE GATE OPENSThe stone cracked with a groan that echoed like thunder, the gate in the chamber’s center began to split.A circle of glowing runes surrounded it, soaked in blood.It hummed with the energy of something that wasn't meant to be touched. Something beyond the veil.The Cradle was no longer just a fortress.It was becoming a summoning ground.Lucas trembled beside it, eyes wide, drawn toward the energy like a thread was pulling him forward.He kept trying to pull away, but whatever was drawing him was stronger.“Lucas,” I called weakly. “Stay with me. Baby, don’t go near it.”But he didn’t hear me.Or worse, he ignored me.Vincent stood behind him, hand on his shoulder, his voice smooth and calm.“They never told you the truth, did they?” he said. “Your mother, your father, they’re scared of what you really are.”“They're ashamed of you”Lucas blinked up at him, confused, his breath shaky. “They said I was special... that I had to be protected.”Vincent crouched. “No, Lucas. They wanted

Chapter: THE HEARTS THAT FIGHT Inside The CradleThe stone beneath me pulsed faintly, like a heartbeat forged from the earth itself. Something ancient stirred beneath us.I could feel it.Lily hadn’t spoken in hours. She sat by Lucas’s side, holding his hand, humming softly under her breath. Lucas had only just stirred, but his eyes were still hazy. Whatever spell Vincent had used was draining them.I stared at the cuffs on my wriss . The were painful, but not unbreakable.Vincent hadn’t accounted for desperation.The guards came every few hours. Always two, Always masked. But I had studied their movements and listened for patterns. I had waited.The next time they entered, I was ready.I slumped to the ground, feigning weakness. One of them stepped closer to check.When he was close enough, I struck. Driving my knee into his throat, I snatched the small dagger from his belt and stabbed him. The second guard lunged toward me, but I rolled as fast as I could, catching him in the ribs and jamming the dagger straig

THE COST OF GOODBYE
Elena Monroe devoted her life to her husband and son, pouring every ounce of love into their little family. But love wasn’t enough. The man she cherished sought comfort elsewhere, and the child she raised with all her heart wished for a different mother. The ultimate betrayal came when her son innocently declared, “The three of us look more like a family than with my mommy.”
That day, Elena’s world shattered. But she didn’t beg. She didn’t fight. She simply walked away—leaving behind her past, her marriage, and even her child.
With ruthless determination, she buried her pain and focused on building an empire. The woman everyone underestimated rose from the ashes, amassing a fortune of over 100 billion. Now, she’s untouchable—adored by the media, respected by rivals, and worshipped by a man who sees her worth.
But fate isn’t done playing games. Her ex-husband, drowning in regret, wants her back. Her son, now desperate for her love, longs for the mother he once pushed away.
Yet, Elena is no longer the woman who once pleaded for their love. This time, they are the ones begging—while she stands beside a man who would rather burn the world than let her go.
They lost her once. They won’t get a second chance.

Chapter: CHAPTER SIX I felt the hot pang of tears as we passed the gate. This was going to be the final tear I shared for the Grahams, I vowed silently as I wiped my tears, Lucas seemed to notice this and handed me his handkerchief.“thank you” I said as I gave him a weak smile.Wiping my face I could smell the faint presence of his scent on it, somehow it made me feel safe and I caught myself sniffing it. A low chuckle surprised me and I frowned as I turned and saw lucas watching me and laughing.“if you like it that much, you'd love the real thing” he said as he came closer, tilting his head enough and putting his neck closer for me to sniff.I turned red with embarrassment as I shook my hands. “n-no need, you misunderstand me”“come on now, don’t be shy” he said as he came closer, this time positioning his neck just below my nose. The veins on his neck popped as he swallowed.I pulled away and faced the window, trying to hide the embarrassment on my face. “where are we going?” I finally gathered t

Chapter: CHAPTER FIVE “I always knew you were a jinx” Olivia graham, my mother-in-law continues.My once teary expression slowly turned to bitterness as I saw them at the door. She stood with my father-in-law, Noah graham and watching them with that familiar scowl brought me unpleasant memories. Jason’s parents never approved of our marriage, they always felt he was too good for me. They had bullied me for the ten years of my marriage with Jason and it was only during my pregnancy with Ethan that they gave me a little face. They still bullied me with snide remarks and would always say that they wished Ethan didn’t end up like mw. They had gotten their wish, he was more of Jason, the exact replica. When I gave birth to Ethan, the bullying began again, worse than before, and Olivia would sometimes try to prevent, me from coming close to Ethan. Before he would step in to defend me, sending his parents away and gently wiping my tears, but when Katie came all of that changed. He often joined them to bully me, c

Chapter: CHAPTER FOUR Lucas grey walked towards me and placed his hands on the shoulders of the boy in front of me.“Your son?” I asked confused. Lucas grey was never rumored to have a son. I stared between the two of them, they did share a little resemblance, but it wasn’t striking enough to be noticed at first glance.“He’s actually my brother’s son” he explained. “I adopted him after my brother and his wife’s death”That made more sense. Gerald grey, Lucas older brother and his wife died in a car accident six years ago, but no one knew anything about their son, Jake grey. Everyone thought he had died with his parents but his body was never found.“We try to keep jakes existence a secret because we suspect that his parents where actually murdered. We’re still working on finding more about the accident”I nodded, I didn’t know why he trusted me enough to tell me this and I didn’t care, all I wanted right now was to leave the hospital. I had had enough, this was the last time, I would fall victim to my fam

Chapter: CHAPTER THREE “You’re the guy from the dinner” Jason said as he turned to look at the voice. The man stood smiling, everything about his aura screaming superiority.“You have a good memory Mr. Graham, but I’m sorry, you can’t get into that room”“Look, I am grateful that you pulled my wife from that pool, but don’t think you can come here pulling this kind of stunt. This hospital and room is owned by the greys, just because you helped my wife doesn’t mean I would give you money. She didn’t need your help” The man smirked as he moved closer to Jason, locking their gazes. He could sense Jason shrinking and he laughed. “You really don’t deserve Elena”“What do you mean? Look just because...”He raised his hand cutting him off. “Trusting this woman instead of your wife, such a filial husband you are” he said sarcastically. Jason provoked by his words was about to speak when the man cut him off again.“I’m not here to take money from you. I’m actually here to see your wife. The woman you’re married to

Chapter: CHAPTER TWO “I’m telling you, divorce Jason” I watched her mischievous smile turn serious as she stared me down. I smiled, deciding to finally play into her games, curious to see what else she had in store for me.“Didn’t you say he was now yours? Why not tell him to divorce me instead? Or are you scared he doesn’t love you? Tell him to divorce me and I would sign the divorce papers. And Ethan? Jason can have custody of him. What? You aren’t confident in his love?” I asked mockingly as I sipped my wine.This infuriated her more. “You think they still love you? If both of us fell into the water who do you think they would safe first?” with that she got closer and whispered. “Let’s find out who they love more. Let’s test it out”Before I could react she grabbed my arm again and threw me into the pull with her. I couldn’t swim and called out desperately for Jason, I could see Katie smile as she saw me. My vision began to blur and I watched as Jason jumped into the pool. He swam toward Katie and I s

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE “You don’t need to come. I know you don’t like these dinners” Jason Graham, my ever loving husband said over the phone“That’s alright. I already said I would accompany you”The other line went silent for a while before he finally spoke. “I would pick you and Ethan later”“No need” I said“Don’t be difficult Elena. I would pick you up”Without waiting for her response he disconnected the call. He had begged her before to come with him to the dinner, and when she didn’t comply he gave her the cold shoulder. Now because he wanted Katie by his side, he pretended to care. Ever since Katie became his secretary he had adored her and neglected me. He would often buy her gifts and run to her every time she called. He would often try explaining to me.‘Katie has been the best employee and I am just rewarding her’ he would say. At first I believed him and would often praise him for being such a good boss. But then I noticed the mistakes and I read the messages. Katie wasn’t one of the best empl
