"Run without looking back!" Sophia whispered to me through the hedge in the fence as she pushed me towards the forest outside the border. I hesitated to go alone and tried to drag her to come along with me. "Come with me, we can escape together. You don't like it here any more than I do," I said, pleading with her for the umpteenth time. "No, it's fine," She said, shaking her head adamantly. "I need to cover up your tracks for some time so they won't find out you're gone quickly and come after you. Just don't forget me out there, Lisa. I'll miss you while you're gone," She said as she embraced me tightly. "I won't, I'll miss you too," I said, basking in the familiar warmth of her hug as I fought to hold back my tears. I knew it was futile trying to get her to change her mind. Sophia could be stubborn like that. I took a step back and studied her trying to imprint the features of my best friend in my mind one last time. Her auburn hair, piercing green eyes, porcelain skin and all. "Now go," She said in a hurried tone, closing the patch in the fence expertly behind her. Suddenly the security lights all came on, illuminating where I stood clearly, leaving me with scattered wits. I came to my senses as I heard the sound of running footsteps and realized what was happening. "Oh no, I hope Sophia doesn't get caught sneaking back in," I said softly wishing against logic that that wasn't the case. "What are you doing outside past the curfew time? Where is the prisoner?" I heard guards question her. "Whoever it is would have been long gone by now," She said a bit loudly and I knew that she was saying it for my benefit. She somehow knew that I was still in earshot and she was warning me. I ran through the dense forest, my heart pounding in my chest as I did so. I could hear the footsteps of my pursuers behind me, getting closer and closer. I knew I had to keep moving if I wanted to survive. My heels dug into the dense earth, and with every contact I made with the floor, I gained more momentum. Behind me were elite guards, not giving it my all from the start would only lead to my capture. Success seemed bleak, but I was determined to survive. Having spent most of my time locked up and under torture, the concept of pain have essentially become null to me. It didn't matter how many branches dug into the sole of my feet, I continued streaming further into the thickness of the forest. If I could beat them to the border, I'd become free. A quick dive to the side saved me from being impaled by a spear. The dangerous weapon found its way into the trunk of a tree, and completely decimated it. One mistake and I would have ended up like that trunk. I thought that these men wanted me alive, but it was clear that they didn't care what condition I was in. As long as I was breathing, they were ready to tear away my limbs just to capture me. More projectiles came soaring towards me, and I immediately realized that continuing this run on the floor was probably a bad idea. Not only was I wasting energy on healing my wounded legs, trying to evade these projectiles and focusing on the run was almost impossible. Concluding that an aerial run would probably benefit me the most, I sunk my feet into earth. Straining my muscles, I took off the ground with enough force to leave a small crater behind. It was just as I'd expected, running atop the trees might be a little more difficult than running on the forest floor, but it had its own advantages. I could see the entire topography of the area from up here, choosing an escape route and a short cut to the borders would be relatively easier than running on the floor where my vision was being hindered by trees and animals. Although finding my way had become easier, the same could be said for my pursuers too, however launching spears at me had become nearly impossible. Getting a good throwing stance on the tree branches was a lot harder than on stable ground. And since there was no predicting what tree I'd hop onto next, getting a steady target had become arduous too. I managed to solve a major problem, but at the same time had created another. Some of the pursuing vampires continued their chase on the forest floor where movement was a lot easier. At the rate they were moving, they'd probably catch up to me and get to the border before I do. I wanted to preserve energy as much as I could, but I couldn't risk them getting to the border before me. With my claw, I tore up my wrist and allowed my blood to drop down on the leaves of every tree I landed on. This was a technique that was known only to elite guards, but I'd managed to learn it thanks to my intellectual capability. "Blood technique..." I chanted, and the nearer soldiers heard me. It was my intention to speak to their hearing, that way their sudden reaction would throw those behind into confusion, thus breeding chaos amongst the group. In one swift movement, the closer soldiers all leapt away in fear. They'd been following me tree to tree, the soles of their feet were already stained with my blood. ".... exploding blood!" All it took was one explosion to trigger a chain reaction on the soldiers' bodies. One by one all the droplets of my blood that managed to make it to their body exploded with force strong enough to level a mansion. Without any intention of letting them escape so easily, I immediately prepared my next attack. "Piercing blood!" I yelled out before releasing two arrows of blood at the disoriented soldiers. Upon impact, the arrows detonated causing an even bigger explosion that sent shockwaves throughout the entire forest. Even as vampires, there was absolutely no way they wouldn't suffer severe casualties from those attacks. Although the attack was aimed at debilitating my pursuers, that was not its only purpose. The explosion had caused a mass destruction of trees which had fallen to become hurdles for those pursuing me from below. It wouldn't do much, but it would definitely slow them down long enough for me to reach the borders before them, and that was exactly what happened. Upon crossing the borders, I knew that vampires were no longer my problem, but an even greater foe, Werewolves. It didn't take long for them to sniff me out, and in less than ten minutes I was already being hunted down. At least a dozen of them were after me, but out of the twelve, only one had taken me seriously enough to transform. Like a tornado, it howled and screamed as it converged to form a massive forty meter tall wolf-like creature that bellowed into the heavens. I wasn't armed, and that was a serious disadvantage when going up against Werewolves. Not only was I heavily fatigued, but I was vastly outnumbered and outclassed by my opponents. "Capture the intruder!" One of the soldiers cried out, and I was immediately attacked by the closest wolf. I leapt backwards in the same instant, successfully dodging a swipe that was meant to decapitate me. I'd almost forgotten just how potent werewolf venom was to vampires. One graze from its outrageously large claws, and I'd be dosed with enough venom to knock me out. Under normal circumstances, I might be able to decompose the toxin. But in my current condition, pulling that feat was nearly impossible. To survive, I would have to make sure I do not concede any blow. We both glared at ourselves, sizing each other up and analyzing our strengths and weaknesses. I was faster, but aside from that, I had nothing against these monsters. In a flash, it struck again, every attack aimed to kill or debilitate me in the worst manner possible. Acting swiftly, I deflected the outstretched claw upwards and aimed a strike towards the wolf's unprotected side. The beast didn't attempt to dodge, instead it brought its second arm down at my neck, before sending me flying with a kick to the face. I recovered from my flight fast enough to parry a blow that would've probably killed me. Steadying myself on the floor, I employed the use of my legs to send my oppressor a few meters away. Annoyed that it had conceded a blow from a lowly vampire, the beast let out a reverberating growl before lifting its large paws above its head. It was a weird stance for a wolf, but I readied myself for the worst. It slashed forward to release powerful blades of air capable of splitting the earth in two. The attack was unexpected, and its speed was beyond my expectation. At the last moment, I made a quick dive to evade the torrents of attack that came my way, however I was not fast enough. The hit connected and proceeded to claim my left limbs. It was hard to admit, but a part of me had wished I hadn't escaped. What was the use of escaping if I would die minutes later? "Capture her now!" The voice from earlier announced, and the untransformed adversaries poured forward to carry out the order. I didn't move, nor did I panic. I merely concentrated all my energy towards my injuries, and in the next second I managed to regrow his lost limbs. My intention had been to conserve enough energy in order to escape, but against monsters like these, trying to hold back was effectively a death sentence. Against this many adversaries, winning was impossible, and escape seemed impossible as well. However, I wasn't prepared to just give up because my chances were low. If there's a one in a million chance that I might escape from these wolves, I'd try my luck on that one chance. I made a quick dash for the space in-between the approaching crowd, but was quickly intercepted by a faster wolf. The momentum behind my speed had been too strong for me to make a quick retreat, and had caused me to fall into the hands of the enemy. "Shit!" I exclaimed just before I felt a blow to the back of the neck. The illumination of the moonlight immediately became blurry, but I somehow managed to regain my composure. I tried making another attempt at escape, but a second blow had me on my knees, and a third blow knocked me unconscious.Dorian's POVOnce I left Anna, I went back to my office with the knowledge that the board would be phoning soon. As usual, the call came in just a couple of minutes later. There was that slight calmness in the chairman’s voice, but it was tinged with disapproval.“Dorian, what’s this I hear about an announcement? A relationship with an employee?”I noticed myself counting to five silently before saying anything. As irritating as it is, I am only human and have to factor in the fact that there is a hierarchy that needs to be followed.I completely focused on the task at hand instead of the condescending tone that had come across. “Yes, as I’ve responded to the query raised by the employees in the office, I had to make it very clear in order for everyone to be on the same page and not create tension within the workplace.”“While I get what you are trying to say, there are some ethical issues and the risk of conflicting interests. The board will need reassurances.”“There is no project f
Anna's POVThe cold night air was too much for me as we ran past Berlin’s darkened alleys. The city lights were particularly bright but we kept to the shadows so we wouldn't be seen.My heart pounded as I ran but I kept moving. Dorian’s grip on my hand was firm, pulling me forward, guiding me as if he could sense the safest paths.We barely spoke, just exchanged quick glances as we wove through the streets. Dorian tried calling the organization’s emergency line, his jaw tightening when no one answered. A second call. Nothing. The third went straight to voicemail. He cursed under his breath. We were on our own.The weight of that realization pressed down on me. Whoever had attacked us knew exactly where we were. They had planned this. And now, with our protectors possibly dead, we had no backup. No weapons. No safe place to go. I shuddered as I feared what they'd do if they caught us. A distant shout echoed behind us, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps. My stomach twisted. The
Lisa’s POVThe walls of the cell were stone—cold, damp, and old enough to remember war. They didn’t creak like the rotted beams of my father’s dungeons; they were silent, oppressive. Unyielding. I’d been here less than a day, but time stretched thin in a place like this.No one talked about the amount of boredom that came with staying in a place like this. I felt like I was going insane by the hour.I sat on the narrow cot, legs folded beneath me, hands clasped tight in my lap. There was straw on the floor, clean enough, and a single tray of food had been slid through the iron bars earlier. I hadn’t touched it. Not because I was above eating their food, but because hunger felt distant—muted. Like everything else.I wasn’t sure what hurt more: being imprisoned by strangers or the way Jeremy had walked away from me.Mate. The word throbbed in my chest like a bruise. When he’d pinned me against that tree in the woods, I’d felt the pull too. Not just instinct. Not just fear. Something dee
As Rey stepped out of the abandoned shack with Gus, he focused on controlling his entire body.He could tell that he was trembling within, but thankfully no one could notice it.Ah, and this time it wasn’t due to fear, or some other fickle emotion.‘Billy, you…!’At that moment, only one feeling surged through Rey, powerful enough to make him grit his teeth and widen his eyes.It was pure, unbridled rage.‘You're the one behind all this!’ He struggled to keep his fists unclenched and resisted the urge to lash out or punch something. But his anger was overflowing and he desperately needed an outlet.Unfortunately, they were out in the open, within the slums of the Black Market, Rey knew he couldn’t act rashly now, especially with Aldred and Yuri watching him closely from a distance.‘I don’t know if they’re suspicious of me for not killing anyone, but…’For now, they probably weren’t going to make a move against him.Still, he knew he had to keep his guard up.‘Right now, I better sa
"Good morning, everyone! Sir Brutus won’t be here today, so I’ll lead your Martial Arts Class instead.”The shock written on everyone’s face as they stared at the person speaking was priceless.No one could have anticipated this outcome, leaving them all staring in wide-eyed surprise.“Adonis is busy with the Alpha Group, so I guess you’ll have to settle for me.” The one who said this, with a bright smile on his excited face, was none other than Billy McGuire.Both Head Warrior Brutus and Grand Mage Lucielle would be away for the next few days, and there was no one left to teach the students, so they had to teach each other.Initially, when this was announced, everyone assumed that training would be put on hold until their teachers returned. How wrong they were…“This has to be a joke, right? Why are you the one teaching us? You’re practically one of us!”As expected, Adam flared up in rage.It was as if he had been waiting for a moment like this where his anger would be justified.
Rey felt an itch at the back of his throat.His stomach rumbled as a few beads of sweat dripped from his face.He had been mentally preparing himself for this moment, but now that it had finally arrived, he couldn’t help the nervousness that assailed him.At the moment, he was kneeling before the five members of the Royal Council.Conrad Listrio, as always, sat at the center of the group.Listrio's long, flowing blond hair cascaded over his shoulders, framing his calm expression as he fixed his gaze on Rey.Beside Listrio, a woman with a slightly feline smile studied Rey intently, adding to his discomfort.It almost felt like she was a cougar who desired to devour his flesh.The other three members of the Royal Council maintained neutral expressions, their faces betraying neither happiness nor sadness, just sternness.‘Oof! Tough crowd…’ Rey muttered under his breath, stealing a quick glance at the array of cold-faced guards observing himThe pressure was overwhelming.Rey could see h
