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,

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.

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.

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: The Devil and the PrincessSelene’s stare pierced me—wide-eyed, jaw clenched. Defiance burned in her gaze, but beneath the fire, I saw it: regret. Bitter, heavy, undeniable. I wanted her to feel it every time she looked at me. To remember exactly where she stood.She had no place in the air I breathed.The silence between us stretched thin, taut like piano wire. Then she broke—eyes flicking away, spine folding as she drifted behind Damian like a coward finding her cage again. Whispers bloomed around her, toxic and unrelenting. Her name now tasted like ash in every mouth.I bent down, helping the crew she’d belittled. My message was clear—dismissal without words. It was fine when she targeted me. But dragging others into her tantrum? Unforgivable.She stood frozen, seething—dress ruined, dignity bleeding out of her. Damian and his sweet little mistress quietly exited, leaving shame in their wake. And just like that, the party moved on—without them, but not without scandal.A slow clap echoed behind me, deliberat

Chapter: The Rise of the Abused WifeTonight was my first operation.I was surprised to see Sebastian already in the SUV, dressed in a black tuxedo, his usual coat draped over his shoulders."You look posh," I teased as I slid into the car."And you look dangerous."I wore a simple black dress that hugged the curves of my body. My makeup was light, and my hair was styled in a bun, with a few strands falling to one side to conceal my earpiece. On my thigh, hidden just behind the slit of my dress, was a 38 Colt revolver. In my luxurious purse lay a folded Black Talon serrated knife.I wasn't just dangerous.I was destruction herself.And Sebastian?He was death itself.Wherever he went, life fled."You remember what to do?""Take out Jackal on the balcony, where he gets sniped.""And if the sniper misses?""I'll finish him off myself."He nodded, "Good girl."I allowed myself a small smile as I settled into the seat. "A question?""Hm?""Are they going to be there?""Why do you think I even invited you?"My heart clenched.

Chapter: To Forge a WomanSebastian Novair looked at me with his midnight blue eyes, inspecting my frail body with a keen, hungry gaze. A few moments later, his men surrounded me and bent down to pick me up.Sebastian hovered his hand, sending them away. "I'll handle it."I felt my weight lifted off the ground and the feeling of Sebastian's sturdy chest against my head. He caressed my hair, brushing them off my face."You're an eyesore," he whispered to me."Shut up..."He chuckled for a moment as he brought me into his car. Within minutes, I was transported into a foreign place and into a new bed. His maids brought me a feast into my room, but I struggled to finish it with my appetite."Fetch her some clothes.""N...No need. I'm going home after this anyway."Sebastian crossed his legs. He was sitting near the entrance of my room, watching me like an owl."Home? And where's that?"I lowered my head. By now, Damian would have thrown my things away already.The maids arrived with new garments. As they stripped m

Chapter: Calling a Forgotten FriendOn the day of Lily’s funeral, countless citizens came to pay their respects. I sat in the corner, unnoticed, as all sympathy was directed toward Damian. No one acknowledged my grief.When the ceremony ended, Damian arrived—with Selene and their son, Daryl.Seeing him laugh, as if Lily hadn’t just died, made my blood boil. It had only been a week, yet they were already parading in the media, playing happy family in the park. Meanwhile, I was drowning in misery.“Where have you been?” I asked and the moment they saw me, their smiles vanished.“We came to pay our respects—”“I wasn’t talking to you,” I snapped at Selene. Damian’s glare sharpened.“Are you seriously going to be rude to guests?”“And are you seriously going to keep screwing around while our daughter is buried, waiting for you to come?!” I screamed, unable to hold back my rage. I then pointed at Lily’s grave. “She is buried six feet underground and you never came once to see her! Are you even her father?!”“You’re stressed…

Chapter: The Other Woman“Son?” I confronted Damian in front of the entire crowd. “What is the meaning of this?”Damian looked at Selene in horror, as if this was the first time he’d heard of it.“Don’t play dumb, Damian,” I seethed. “You had sex with Selene?”Whispers rippled through the onlookers.“You’re making a scene—” Damian snapped, grabbing my arm tightly.“Our daughter is dying,” I yanked my arm free. “We’ll talk about this later—”“No! We’re talking about it now.” Selene clung to Damian’s suit like a madwoman. “Please, Damian..! He’s our son! I only hid him to protect him. Weren’t you supposed to marry me?”Shock rippled through the crowd.“She was the first woman? Then what about Madam Kierra?”“A woman going after an engaged man? What a whore!”I felt my throat run dry.I shut my eyes, praying that Damian was going to justify that all of this was a mistake. But who am I kidding?My husband never loved me.“She’s right,” Damian shoved me aside coldly. “I was never meant to marry you, Kierra. You te

Chapter: The Brink of a MarriageI saw my daughter get killed before my eyes, but my husband did not believe me. What broke me more was the fact that the person who took her away from me was no other than his mistress’ child.It was then that I knew my life would turn upside down.A few minutes before it happened, Lily stood beside me, clutching my fingers with her tiny hand as we watched the hill. But the moment I blinked, she was nowhere to be seen.She hadn’t tripped. She hadn’t stumbled.She was pushed.I saw it. I saw him do it.A kid… someone I did not recognize, pushed her off the railing and sent her plummeting down the rocky, slope that led directly into a ditch. My heartbeat halted when the boy’s smirk grew the instant Lily’s small body hit the stony ground.I couldn’t move. Couldn’t breathe.Then, my entire soul shattered."Lily!" My scream tore through the grand hall as I ran to the porch, watching my daughter roll down the rocky hill below. Her head snapped back, her little arms twitched—then she went t

I couldn't breathe and the butterflies fluttering inside my stomach weren't helping.My mind was going crazy.I quickly pushed Riftan away and bit his lip. The male took a step back, head hung low. I stared at him, shocked as he wiped the blood from his lips."Was it too unpleasant for you?" he asked.I was too stunned to reply. I remained there, blood leaving my face."I will be heading to my room now," he told me and turned his back. "Good night."Riftan then walked away, as if nothing happened between the both of us. I covered my lips with fingers-ghasted.What just happened? Was that a dream?"Vermillion?" a voice said from behind.

Not fully healed yet.Riftan was busy today, leaving me free to explore. I turned to Linda, who was preparing snacks. “Anywhere entertaining around here?”“Yeah.” she gestured toward a barren tree in the distance. “That used to be a plum tree. Riftan wouldn’t let us cut it.”“A tree was important to him?” I squinted at it. Lifeless, no leaves or blossoms.Linda’s expression softened as she stared at the tree.“Lin?”She blinked, shaking her head. “Sorry.”I frowned. “Something on your mind?”She hesitated, then smiled. “Just remembering the last time it blossomed.”I leaned in, “Tell me.”She sighed, “When Lord Riftan was young, I saw hi

Their flags suspended in the air, displaying the bright colors of their symbolic nation.They marched against the snow, spears on their hips, ready to thrust. The King stood before them, leading his men to the rickety, frigid path."Halt!" the general roared and the men behind him did not march any further. The King stared at the distance before him.The assassins from the trees were not happy with the King's soldiers. To them, all they do was make sounds and put this entire mission to waste.Robyn, the male with the green hood hissed in annoyance."Captain," one of his apprentice called

I grabbed our bags and slung the other strap over my shoulder."Are you all set?" he asked, his eyes scanning me briefly.I nodded, giving him a thumbs-up. "Yeah, I'm all good to go.""Give me that bag.""What?" I glanced down at it. "Oh, this? It's fine. These are my things. I'll carry it.""Give it to me," he insisted, holding out his hand. "I'll carry it for you."I sighed in defeat and handed him the bag. "Don't peek inside, okay?""Of course I wouldn't."We left the inn and headed downstairs. Near the entrance, our carriage stood ready, the same navigator from before waving in acknowledgment. I returned the gesture, since Riftan, as usual, was too cold to do so.Dreyar, Stella, and her husband, Zephyl, were also waiting at the entrance."Ruby!" Stella called out with a bright smile.

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.

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.

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 scowled with their bare fangs as they noticed the insignia of Askavan on the carriages."Don't make such statements," his retainer reminded him. "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.
