Chapter: The EndThe bells rang from the distance. The woman with the bright orange hair stood behind the huge doors of the church. Her eyes were closed and a smile was evident on the woman's lips. Everything that she dreamed of was finally before her eyes. The moment had finally come. She opened her eyes and the doors finally parted ways. Her eyes fell to the long golden aisle that she so dreamt of walking one day. Beside it, on the benches, for all the people she loved and cared for. She felt her heart start pounding and racing faster and faster, when her bright persimmon orbs reached the center of the long corridor. There he stood, the love of her life, the apple of her eye, the man who taught her how to love. He had a smirk on his face and she just wanted to get over with that aisle wipe that smug grin off his face with a kiss. The music started. The harmonious synchronization of chorale brought everyone to their tears. Her mother who was standing also, in the aisle— staring at her beautif

Chapter: Secret?Asty was walking around the palace when she noticed something strange everywhere. The maids seem to be avoiding her and she did not seem to see a single sentry guarding the gates.Everyone seems to be very busy and every time she would greet them they would only turn away."That's odd." she told herself. "They don't really act like this to me before."She walked around and around and even brought herself into the garden. But there was not a single person around.What was going on, she thought.She couldn't even find her friends anywhere in the Palace. She had woken up with absolutely nothing but the chirping of birds. She looked around to see if there was someone she can talk to.Yvonne wasn't there, Chaol wasn't there. Even her brother was not there."Where could they all have gone to?"She noticed that the maids were stealing glances at her. She would look at them and wave but then they would only avoid her gaze.

Chapter: Rosellia's GraveAfter being able to speak with her mother, Asty led the group to a path in the woods that led to a field of dandelions.They looked around and saw how beautiful it was. The sun was before them, and they could feel it burning through their skin, but even so— their eyes were fixed on the blanket of flowers that seemed to flow against the wind."This is so beautiful." Lana commented.Asty smiled at her. "This is where my mistress is buried.""Why isn't she buried in a proper grave?""That is because this is what she requested. That is a part of her will to be buried under the field of dandelions, chrysanthemums, and daisies. She wanted to face the sun and the skies. She wanted to look at the blanket of stars as she rested. That is what she imagined."They smiled at her and walked towards the field."I think it is better if we leave you be." Chaol told Asty, Yvonne, and Robynn. "I think you guys need more of an alone time with this,

Chapter: BlessingAsty and the others were sent in a carriage that was intended to traverse them into the village of Erana. Asty watched as the sea of trees ran across her vision. She stared at it for a long amount of time before wondering something in her head.Chaol reached out to her head and made it rest on his shoulders."Is something troubling you?" he asked her."No nothing at all." She told him. "I was just wondering a few things.""Like what?""They are not very pleasant things." She told him and smiled. "It's best if I keep it to myself.""You can always tell me about it. I won't mind." Chaol smiled at her. "Is it because of the battle?""Yeah." she nodded. "Polo was... in pain. I didn't know that he had to go through all that that's why he became the way he was. He went after so many painful things in his life that I cannot even imagine happening to me.""You saw his memories?""I did." she nodded at him. "They were not very go

Chapter: The AftermathTWO WEEKS AFTER THE ECLIPSE WAREverything was starting to get better and better. The castle was finally starting to have its exterior and interior repair. It was not an easy path for them to take. The villagers that survived the war still had fear lingering inside their hearts. But nevertheless, even if there were fear and there was uncertainty, villagers continued to place their trust in the king. The king provided them with all the construction materials that they will be able to use to fix their houses that were crushed and broken during the war. While the villagers were singing their songs as they hammered their walls, a man came and frantically told them about the good news."Everyone, everyone! King is holding a celebration in the square! We must all go and watch it! Everyone's heroes will be displayed! And the parents of those who had lost their lives will be given compensation and medals for the achievement of their

Chapter: It's OverAsty walked within the flames of the ground as she approached the lifeless corpse of her beloved. she clenched her fists upon seeing his torn body and closed her eyes as the tears streamed down from her face. There is no greater pain in the world than to lose someone you love.It is a pain that will be permanent inside your heart and will linger around for so many years. And she was not sure if she was prepared for that. Everything was so sudden, so fast, so abrupt. Did not know what to do or what to expect. The betrayal, the revelations, and then suddenly turning back the tables to prove that the ones she thought were the criminals were actually the innocent ones.She crouched on the ground and reached out to his cold body. What else can she expect? He is gone and he will never come back to her. The eclipse was an unfair event. The people viewed it as equal, but to her, it was only another cruel event.

Chapter: The End of an EraI fell—deep and fast—into the abyss. Darker than the night, it swallowed everything. No edges. No floor. Just an endless void, like my eyes were shut forever—but they weren’t. There was no strain, no blink. Just darkness.I curled my fingers together and whispered a prayer. I had made the hardest decision of my life, and now there was no turning back.I’d danced with death before—always one breath, one heartbeat away. But this... this was different. I chose this. I chose sacrifice."I know you're there," I said. My voice echoed as if I were in some vast, sealed chamber. "Are you afraid to fight me?""Most certainly not, Vermillion," a voice hissed from the dark. Malevolent. Mocking. "I didn't think you would go this far for him.""I guessed right then," I said with a sneer. "You're not Zydriann. Not even Ydrian."A blinding light shattered the dark, and I found myself standing on a plain of glass and roses. Their petals dripped with something thick—red. Blood."To achieve beauty, one

Chapter: The Forgotten ChildI watched him struggle to get up, grunting from the pain, but his wounds healed far too quickly—just like a real lycan should. His robe fell to the floor, soaked in blood and reeking of death. There was a deadness to his eyes now. Cold. Malicious. It felt like standing before a stranger."Brother. You suck at acting. Get up so that we can have a chat."Zen Riftan finally stood. He dusted off his shoulders like none of it mattered, like the weight of our history wasn’t crushing him too."You go around mimicking my skin, too?" he said, arms crossed, trying to play it cool. "Just how envious are you of me?"Zydriann sneered. "Very. The very reason why I want you gone."I stayed back, observing. The air between them was razor-thin and laced with resentment. I could feel it pulsing in my bones.They were Riftans—pureblooded. Old blood. Dangerous blood.Zen’s blood was venomous. Poison to any Were or lycan, the only true deterrent to immortality. Zydriann, on the other hand, possessed knowl

Chapter: Toll of WarOur team dashed toward the palace, never daring to look back at the corpses strewn along our path. This day would be the most painful in Hezel’s history, and we had to end it before it slipped beyond our grasp. Zen couldn’t hold out much longer.I trust Zen... I truly do. But I can’t lose him.Zen, the alpha of a noble pack, a leader admired by many, the one Phantomcrescent depends on—he must not fall. If a sacrifice had to be made, let it be me. Once this ends, Hezel won’t need me. Peace with the Weres will be restored. No more war. No more painful memories. And I... can finally ascend to where my family is."Ruby, watch out!"A projectile swept in. I was yanked aside by Vale just in time. Rusted iron sheets, torn from rooftops, hurtled past like blades."Thank you," I said. He gave a worried nod. "Let’s go."We charged ahead. A hurricane, crimson as blood, struck. The palace shook violently. Glass shattered, cement crumbled. Ruins consumed everything. Smoke choked the air.Coughing,

Chapter: Strike Back!RUBY VERMILLIONI couldn't believe myself. Why did I leave him there?My body was resonating and writhing in pain, and the only weapon I had was a rake from the corpses of the courtroom I had to pass to reach the exit. I can already hear the chaos from outside and the people' haunting cries scared me."Captain!" a voice pierced through the corridor and a figure jumps from the roof to the ground. "Glad I found you!"It was Georgina, my apprentice. "Here, take this!" she threw a sack over to me and I quickly catch the heavy object with my hands. I quickly opened it only to find my weapons inside. My flintlock, my rapier, my daggers, my swords. I quickly equipped them on my belt and pulled my gun to check if there were bullets inside."It's all ammoed up," she gave me a thumbs up. "Now let's head to the Gate!"I hesitate for a minute and look back, wondering about Zen- but I quickly shake my head and follow her. "Let's go. How is the City going?""The evacuation is complete.""W-What..?"

Chapter: He's ComeThe moon was coming.I heard the howls of wolves in the distance—long, low, and guttural. My heart stilled.Even from this sky prison, I could sense the fear of Hezel’s people. The moon above us darkened, bleeding into a shade of crimson and black. The stars that once comforted me were veiled with smoke, their glow stolen. Somewhere below, doors slammed shut. Locks clicked. The once-vibrant city was now nothing but a haunted ghost town.The King’s rogues prowled the roads, painting them with blood and agony. I used to remember the streets of Hezel filled with music, the hum of voices, sizzling food stands, the jingling of a bard’s lute. Now? Only screaming. Pleading. The sound of flesh tearing apart.I flinched at the cackles of the dementors outside, their sick glee echoing through the wind. I imagined the townsfolk clinging to whatever they could—knives, vases, garden tools—knowing deep inside, none of it would save them.Above them all, Ydrian watched from his sky patio. And I—knee

Once a tailor, now growing fur and claws- and then howls."HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!" his laughter filled the courtroom as the creatures continued to reach their peaks of evolution. He found it funny how seemingly beautiful humans were at first- and now they've turned into something so hideous as that."CAN YOU SEE THIS, VERMILLION?!" he turned to look at her, boasting of his invention, but his tone changed upon seeing her in crocodile tears. "V-Vermillion?""How can you have the guts to do this?" she sobbed. "I... told you to stop..."For some reason, Ydrian could not take his eyes off her. He ran towards her and then caressed her face.

It's like he has turned into a completely different person upon seeing her cry."Ruby... why are you crying..?""Y-You're

Chapter: Unsaid Feelings"Before going back to Askavan, you must know something about the Valley of Ghouls."Ares bent down, pulling a rolled parchment from his boot. He handed it to Lei, his hand firm but strangely gentle."Arthurian lives far," he said. "But he manages the biggest archive in Wolf Territory. There must be something there you can find."Lei unraveled the map, her fingers tracing the faded ink. It was the first time she'd truly seen the scale of the Wolf Territory. It spanned nearly as vast as Askavan—untamed and nameless.Five emblems marked the parchment:A wolf’s head — the Black City, ruled by the Lycan King of the Midnight Legion.A sun’s crest — the lush Sunlit Reservoir, domain of the cunning Ares and the Helios Pack.A ravaging claw — the grim Zetalyn Grounds, the military base where Commander Aiden reigned with iron law.A whimsical tree — the Moonlit Pavilion, where the half-blood magi-wolves, the Gnosenia Magus, lived under Arthurius’ clever governance.A gold coin — the prosperous

Chapter: A Wolf in Sheep's ClothingAjax and Ares brought Lei back inside as she opened that rusty, bloodstained envelope. The two acted as her guardians, and their figures loomed behind her like a shadow, as always. With trembling fingers, she traced the wax engraving of the Auctioneer that sealed the letter and took a deep breath.“I can’t fucking believe he’s dead,” she palmed her face in distress as she held her struggle to tear up. “And to think, after all these years, I had never thought to ask about his welfare.”Ares’s palm squeezed her shoulder, “It’s not your fault, Lei—”“Of course, it was!” she could not help but blurt out as teardrops finally escaped from the crevices of her eyes. “Fuck... if only I hadn’t caused all of this... if only I didn’t kill the governor.”“There’s no point crying over spilled milk now.” Ajax firmly reminded her, tethering her to what is most important. “Open the letter, and we’ll make our move.”She finally opened the envelope, revealing a note on crumbling parchment.

Chapter: A Foreboding NewsAjax slammed Kai across the floorboards of his own ship. Blood splattered across the deck as the king crashed into the wood, groaning in pain. The crew stood frozen in place, eyes wide with fear as they dared not move. No one stepped forward. No one helped. They simply watched.“What the fuck are you all looking at?!” Kai spat, blood dripping from his mouth, his pride shredded in front of his men.Ajax loomed over him, turning his cold gaze toward the silent bannermen. “Ah,” he said mockingly, “it seems they think of you as less than a king.”“You’ll regret laying your filthy hands on me, Ajax Nyth!” Kai hissed, glaring up from the floor.Ajax shrugged with maddening calm. “Set foot in my territory again, and I’ll make sure your ships burn before they reach shore. Perhaps the sirens will be full for a year.”Kai’s eyes flicked to the water—where shadows swirled beneath the surface. Long, sinuous tails sliced through the depths like blades. Watching. Waiting.“Bastard.”Kai forced hims

I killed the governor, yes, but what have I done to you? If anything, you should be indebted to me for taking my uncle’s life!”“Indebted? A king is never indebted to anyone,” Kai replied. “Come with me, and I’ll repay everything.”Suddenly, the door behind Cataleia slammed shut, leaving her alone in the room with Kai.She rushed to the door, trying to pry it open, but it wouldn’t budge. Kai approached her slowly, his golden eyes shifting into something venomous—like those of a snake. “Do you not wish to become Askavan’s Queen, Cataleia Reiss?” He drew nearer until his breath was just inches from her cheek. “Do you not wish to become the most pow

She nearly sprinted to match his big paces. “Ajax, wait!”Cataleia grabbed the alpha’s wrist, and he quickly stopped. She was startled initially, not expecting her gesture to halt him. She had thought he would have shrugged her hand away as soon as their skin touched.“A warning, woman. You ought not to touch me so suddenly, especially when we’re alone.”Fumbling, she quickly releases her light grip on his wrist.“I’m sorry, it’s just that— you’re walking so fast.

"The weres can hear you.""I intend for them to hear," Kai shrugged. "Such a gloomy greeting. Where is their Alpha?""He is already there." Kai's eyes wandered into the entrance of the Nyth Manor— a huge fortress made of obsidian and basalt which glowed only in the moonlight. The fortress rose high into the sky like a castle."This architecture is splendid," his retainer comments out of awe.

The Mafia Devil's Princess
Kierra Hail had already lost everything—her child, her marriage, her dignity. Betrayed by the man she once loved, cast aside for his mistress, and left to rot as he stripped her of everything she owned. But the cruelest blow? Her daughter’s death, a tragedy her husband could have prevented if he had only chosen her life over his secret lover’s son.
Now, broken and gasping for one last chance at survival, Kierra dials a number she swore she’d never use.
A man who calls her princess.
A man who doesn’t forgive.
A man who owns the underworld.
Sebastian Novair—heir to the infamous Noir de Costas Syndicates and a merciless mafia king with blood on his hands and fire in his veins. Years ago, Kierra saved him. Now, he’s back to collect his debt—with interest.
He offers her power, vengeance, and the sweet taste of retribution. But making a deal with the devil has its price… and he’s more than willing to make her pay in ways she never imagined.
He’ll ruin her enemies.
He’ll break her chains.
And he’ll claim what’s always been his— her.

Chapter: Playing DoctorOnce I completed the final notes from my shift and secured my small apartment, possibly for the last time, Sebastian was already outside, placing the last box into the back of his SUV. He moved with that same self-assured elegance he always exhibited, even with the new bruises on his face. I stepped out, my hands tucked into the pockets of my cardigan. The late afternoon sun bathed the pavement in a warm orange hue. It was a stunning view, but for some reason, it left my chest feeling constricted.“Seb… do I really have to move?” I asked, biting the inside of my cheek.He turned to face me, brushing his hands together after loading the last item. “The closer you are to me, the better,” he said plainly. “I can protect you better if you’re in the villa.”I shifted my weight on my feet, avoiding his eyes. “I know that… but…”“But what?” His voice dropped a little. Concern flickered in his features. “Do you not want to go back?”“It’s not like that…” My voice trailed off as I lowered my

Chapter: Unwanted VisitorI received a phone call from Damian’s secretary today. A call that asked me to have lunch with him. Of course, I rejected the offer and continued straight to work. I had no idea what my ex-husband had in store for me, but I won’t be there to tolerate it. “Doctor, you have a visitor.”I swiveled my chair to the side. “Good morning, Kierra.”My mood soured, “Damian?” Damian entered my clinic. I was on break, and I didn’t have any excuse not to entertain him. “What do you want, Damian?”“A word with you.”“I’ve already had enough of your words, Mara, can you show him the exit?”My clinic secretary bit her lip in confusion. She didn’t know we had bad blood. “A-Are you sure? Isn’t he a client?”“He’s not a client,” I told her with spite. “You can trust me on that.”“Can you give us a minute?” Mara looked at me and I sighed. I then hovered my hand over, permitting her to go away for a while. She closes the door to the clinic, and Damian gives me a hefty smile. “What do you want, Damia

Chapter: What Went Wrong?Damian and I walked out of the school with Tobias. Selene marched towards her car while pulling her own son and scolding him like a dog. As Sebastian and I were about to load Tobias into the vehicle, suddenly someone spoke from behind.“Kierra.”My spine snapped into a rod when I heard his voice. Sebastian tilted his head, his eyes brimming with warning as Damian walked up to us— to me. I turned my head to him, and I could feel all the anger in my veins throb again. I hate this man! He took everything from me!“Can we talk?”He must have been out of his mind when he asked me to talk with him, but there ain’t no way in hell that Sebastian was going to agree.I turned my head at the male, who slipped his hands into his pockets. Sebastian pulled me behind him, sizing up Damian— but his eyes were locked into mine, ignoring him. “What do you want from her?”“I have nothing to say to you,” Damian replied in a pent-up tone. “But I have a few words for Kierra.”“She won’t tell you anything

Chapter: ConferenceIt wasn’t long until Sebastian found out that Tobi was being bullied. He came home late that night, and I tried to explain everything calmly—the bruises, the bridge, the uniform soaked in blood—but the fury in his eyes never settled. I suggested we switch Tobi to another school, a fresh start maybe, but he refused.“We’re not running away,” he said coldly. “We’ll deal with this.”A parent-teacher conference was arranged a few days later. It was the more civil approach, yes. I appreciated that Sebastian was trying. But that also meant we’d be seeing them—Damian and Selene.Tobi was reluctant the moment he heard the news. He begged me to change Sebastian’s mind, said he didn’t want this to escalate. But I, too, agreed with the conference.Because Selene needed to learn how to put her damn child in place.That boy… Daryl…I know I shouldn’t let hatred fester inside me. I know he’s a kid. But that child played a part in tormenting my daughter before she died.He mocked her. He laughed whe

My world—already broken and stitched with string—cracked again beneath my feet.“What… what should I do?”I wasn’t asking him anymore. I was asking myself.“Always trusting the wrong people, aren’t you, Kierra? You’re a trouble magnet.”“Don’t have to tell me twice,” I muttered bitterly, crossing my arms.I was already spiraling, but now… now there was a seed of doubt in my chest that bloomed like poison ivy.

Chapter: The Photo“Kierra, you’ve been silent the whole time. Is there something that’s bothering you?”I didn’t have the stomach to finish all the food that Sebastian had brought into the apartment. What I found out the other day was chilling. I have so many questions I wanted to ask, but how? I didn’t want to start losing my trust after I had just made up with him. I cannot be too rash anymore.I gave him a pretend smile, “I’ll be meeting with Alessio and Alex today. You really should leave before they pick me up.”Sebastian sighed and crossed his arms, disappointed. I knew he didn’t want to leave. But the apartment was way too small for two people. “You don’t want to tell them that we’re back together?”I rolled my eyes and pushed him out of the door, “Trust me when I tell you that they already know.”Sebastian turned around and smirked, before planting a kiss on my hair. “Well, is there anything else I can help you with?”I thought of it well, “No… not at the moment.
