2025-04-30 23:43:53Rey took in a deep breath.
He had never been in an actual sale before, but that didn’t stop him from trying his best. Besides, there were a bunch of things he hadn’t done before, but he still managed to scale through them on the first try. ‘Fighting monsters is a good example…’ Currently, he was walking a fine line. ‘I have to be careful.’ “The Grade is considerably high, and since this is a wholesale, you should know that I have over a thousand pieces,” Rey finally spoke, his voice clear and his tone confident. “I am well aware, but—” “I am also well aware of your procedures. However, I have mine. And that entails speaking to a higher-up when it comes to business of this scale.” Rey could already see anxiety creep in on the face of the man in glasses. He just had to keep pushing. “We’re talking goods worth hundreds, if not thousands of Platinum Coins. Do you really think you are sufficient to handle such a trade? Will you take full responsibility?” “S-sir, I’m just doing my job…” the man stammered weakly. ‘I know, man. I know,’ Rey sympathized internally In all honesty, Rey felt a little guilty for what he was doing. But so what? He was sure that they would do the same to him if he showed even the slightest hint of weakness. These people were the monsters of the business world. He had to destroy them before they did the same to him. Otherwise, he would be devoured without realizing it. “I’m only stating facts. I can’t compel you to bypass these procedures for me. You are well within your rights to refuse…” Rey could see the hesitance in the man’s face. ‘Of course, he won’t! He can’t afford to drive me away and allow me to fall into the hands of a competitor.’ Rey leaned in closer, his voice low as he whispered words meant only for their ears. “Thousands of Platinum Coins… can you handle such a loss? You’ll take responsibility for all this, right?” With a wide smile on his face, Rey watched the man tremble, feeling a surge of triumph. ‘Gotcha!’ A company of this magnitude had to have arrangements for customers who were exceptions. Outliers would surely not be subjected to the standard procedures everyone else faced. Rey recognized this and desperately desired to be among the exceptions. That was because they had the bargaining power. “I-I understand…” “Good.” Rey leaned back, his smile unwavering as he returned to his earlier position and waited for the decision of the man behind the counter. “Please give me a moment.” The man hurriedly scribbled a few more notes on the paper before finally raising it from the desk. “I shall call someone to properly attend to you while informing them of the information you have provided.” “Good.” Rey would be lying if he said his heart wasn’t racing. ‘I’m not going to get in trouble, right?’ He had heard a lot of unsavory things about Black Markets—including how tons of deaths happened there. Without the protection of mainstream laws, he and Noah were exposed, especially if they crossed someone powerful in this underworld. ‘I’ve never fatally harmed a human, talkless of killing them.’ Rey wasn’t sure he could. Still, he maintained his stoic face. ‘I had to do this. I had to go this far.’ The man behind the counter tore the paper he was writing on, and it soon dissipated in the air. ‘An Enchanted Item, huh?’ The information written within was most likely going to be relayed to whoever was going to attend to Rey. “Please go upstairs. You may enter the first room to your right. Someone will come and attend to you,” the man directed, to which Rey responded with a confident smile. “Good.” Rey nodded, signaling to Noah as they followed the instructions, leaving the dazed man heaving a sigh of relief behind them. ‘And that’s how you do business!’ ****** The room where Rey and Noah were directed was finely furnished. It was painted white, with tons of colorful murals adorning the walls. A small chandelier hung from the ceiling, which illuminated the cozy arrangement of comfortable sofas. The sofas were arranged in a ‘U’ shape, and a very sturdy desk stood in between two pointed sides of the ‘U’ “You’ll have to stand.” Rey told Noah, as he settled into the chair. “E-ehhh?” They had both been standing and walking for a while, so Noah was very tired. Rey knew that. “That’s your punishment for stealing my Cores and getting scammed while trying to sell them.” All things considered, Rey was being quite lenient with his punishment. If Noah had any common sense, he would just swallow any complaints he had and take it in stride. That was precisely what he did. ‘This place looks nice. It’s designed to make the customers feel comfortable, but also intimidate them.’ The designs that filled the room told of this establishment’s incredible wealth. Anyone who wasn’t worth their salt would feel very uncomfortable and intimidated if they stayed here for too long. ‘This won’t work on me, though…’ The thought of his stash of Monster Cores hidden in the Hobgoblin hideout brought a smile to his face. With so much potential money in his grasp, there was no way he would allow these people to frighten him. ‘Hehehe… hehe…’ Not long after settling in and making themselves comfortable, the door creaked open, revealing a man with smooth brown hair and a formal attire that exuded sophistication. His waistcoat added a touch of formality to his appearance, accentuating the wealth he represented. He was outfitted with a few Enchanted Items, and everything he wore seemed to scream luxury and likely cost a fortune in Platinum Coins. Rey couldn’t help but understand why the man at the counter had been skeptical despite Rey’s own expensive attire. There were levels to these things, and right now, Rey was at the bottom of the food chain. ‘Well… not for long!’ * * * [A/N] Thanks for reading! This wasn’t an action chapter or anything, but I hope you can enjoy these sides of the novel as well. Let me hear your thoughts in the comments.

An Alpha tryst with the vampire Chapter 1
LISA POV"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 an

Jeremy's POVThe warmth of the jacuzzi and that of the three women in my arms kept the cold at bay. The music was loud, the crowd was lively, overall it was a good night. While I drowned myself with alcohol, I had beautiful women by my side to keep me from getting cold. I pulled the blonde by my left closer without warning, and she collapsed on my body, a maniacal smile plastered on her face. Her hard silicone breasts pressed hard against my chest while we graced each other with the softness of our lips. Twenty seconds later, she hopped off my body, and paved the way for her dark haired colleague. Purposefully, she circled my hips around mine. The warmth of my hard outline embraced the softness of her buttocks, and my hands folded around her heavy breasts roughly. She moaned gutturally into the depths of my mouth, her curved lips exhaling a testament to the overflowing passion and heat between us. Realizing that their colleague had spent more than twenty seconds on my body, the oth

Lisa's POVI struggled against my bonds as I was roughly dragged by one of the goons as we went to the palace. I couldn't believe that this was happening. I had been captured by the werewolves after all despite my best attempts. They had learnt their lessons the hard way so my hands were tied behind stopping me from using my powers to escape.They all must have looked an intimidating sight to anyone watching judging from their appearance. The sentinels around must have never heard of shirts as their upper bodies were bare leaving their well defined muscles to all and sundry. In a different world I would have swooned at the sight of all these hot male bodies around me.The brazen show of bodies was something that creatures like the vampires wouldn't do. They more much too noble and proud to behave barbaric. At least in public. When outside, their lords affected a gentlemanly air around them that could fool the unwary. I was pulled out of my thoughts roughly as I stumbled and fell on

Jeremy’s POVThe heavy iron door shut behind me with a bang as Lisa’s desperate cries echoed faintly as I swalked away from her cell. I ignored it as I couldn’t afford to let her words sway me.She was a vampire. A vampire. And not just any vampire—Lord Alireza Firouzja’s daughter. The implications of that alone were enough to make my wolf growl.Mate. My wolf had called her that, back in the woods when I’d pinned her against the tree, her scent—or lack thereof—flooding my senses. It didn’t make sense. She didn’t smell like a wolf and neither did she have the metallic smell of bloodlust that clung to vampires like a second skin. And yet, the pull was there. It was undeniable and it was tugging at me. I’d dismissed it as a mistake at first, some trick of the mind after a long night of hunting. But now, I wasn’t so sure.I emerged from the tunnel into the cool night air, the mist making for poor visibility. The trek back to the palace was short, but my thoughts made it feel endless. L

Lisa’s POV The 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

Jeremy’s POV The corridor outside Lisa’s cell was quiet, but not empty. As I rounded the corner, the scent hit me first—familiar, sharp, and wearing too much perfume. Skylar. She stepped out from the shadows like she’d been waiting all night. Her arms were crossed, expression tight with purpose. She’d always had that look when we were kids—when she’d caught me sneaking out or lying to the elders. But this wasn’t childhood anymore. “I heard you brought something back from the woods,” she said. I didn’t slow down. “It’s not your concern.” She kept pace beside me, boots echoing on stone. “A rogue witch is everyone’s concern. You’re breaking protocol.” “She’s not rogue.” “Oh, so she’s tame? Is that what you’re calling her now?” I stopped walking. She blinked at my sudden stillness, thrown off. I didn’t look at her. Just stared straight ahead, jaw tight. “She hasn’t hurt anyone,” I said. Skylar snorted. “Yet.” I turned to face her. “What do you want, Sky? She hesitated for hal

Jeremy's POVThe knock came just after dawn.I was already up, pacing. Sleep hadn’t come—couldn’t, not with everything Skylar had said still clanging around in my skull like broken glass in a jar. I opened the door expecting Alex, maybe one of the night guards.It was Erin.She looked pale, nervous. “Alpha… you should check the cell.”I was moving before she finished the sentence.The corridor was colder than usual. Something in the air had shifted, something wrong. My boots echoed down the hallway like warning shots. When I reached the cell, Lisa was standing in the corner, tense, arms folded tightly across her chest. The tray of food lay overturned at her feet, its contents scattered.“What happened?” I asked.She didn’t look at me right away. “You tell me.”I glanced at the mess, then to her. “Did someone—”“Skylar,” she said. “She brought the food. It smelled… off.”I frowned. “Off how?”Lisa’s eyes narrowed. “Like nightshade. Or wolfsbane.”I stepped back, jaw tightening. “You su

Jeremy's POV He pondered as he raised a brow in surprise. He tried again, this time holding his breath for good measure. Still, nothing changed. There was no warm tingling sensation just like he had always read.Damn.He opened his eyes with a scowl—or, at least, as much of a scowl as a newborn could manage.Alright, maybe I’m too young for this, he reasoned. Most magical prodigies in stories had some incredible awakening at birth or a special blessing. Maybe he was just… normal.The thought left a sour taste in his mouth.With a sigh—more of a soft exhale—he relaxed against the blankets. He’d try again later. For now, he’d have to wait until he grew a little more.***The years passed, and Lucian grew.By the time he was four, he had learned a great deal about his new family and their status. The Vaelcrest household was one of noble lineage, their wealth and influence well-respected. His father, Duke Aldric Vaelcrest, was a powerful noble, known for both his swordsmanship and his co

“We’re going on a short break. I’ll be right back!”The way Billy stormed out of the training grounds made it clear that he wasn’t in a great mood.The onlookers could clearly see that Rey, who had been a nobody until now, had managed to get under Billy’s skin merely by using unexpected tactics during their match.The gazes they now directed towards him was one of silent admiration and pride.While they weren’t the ones who won, it still felt good!********‘So many eyes are on me…’Rey was currently lying on the grassy plains, his eyes tightly shut as he enjoyed the fresh air and nice weather.He didn’t particularly like the attention that was being showered on him, yet he understood it was unavoidable.‘This is the price for standing out…’However, Rey was certain that even if he had lost to Billy, he would still have attracted a ton of attention—though not for positive reasons.He would have been pitied and seen as weak prey.‘I don’t want that.

"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.

“G-GERUK!”In Hobgoblin tongue, that meant “Monster!”As the Hobgoblin Chief absorbed the reality of his people's deaths, that word kept playing in his mind over and over again.Dozens of Hobgoblins were slayed in a single moment, and the voice of their killer echoed in depraved laughter as he inflicted an unjust punishment.Just what… what did he and his people do to deserve this?!For the seven months that he had been the Chief of the Hobgoblins, they had enjoyed nothing but peace and prosperity.The Chief had eagerly looked forward to the day when he could relinquish his duties and join his ancestors in the earth. It seemed that day would arrive within a month or two, and he had been anticipating it happily.Yet, this had to happen in his lifetime? During his rulership?Why?!The ancient fables of the Hobgoblin society told of a time when they were the prey of the NightWolves, but thanks to the leadership of the great KoKuKa, the Hob Chief at the time, they were able to turn the

“Sir! It’s such a pleasant surprise to see you!” Rey was instantly greeted by a very excited Aldred Winsley.The man was grinning sheepishly at him. He seemed almost starstruck, like a fan meeting their favorite celebrity for the first time.‘He’s literally gushing…’ was Rey’s impression as he nodded slightly, entering the room.‘I was just asking your subordinate here when we might see you next.’Rey glanced at Noah and noticed him giving an uncomfortable smile.‘Were they pressuring him to convince me to come? Is that why he took so long?’It was just a guess, so Rey dismissed it.“In any case, it really is good to have you here. We have a lot to discuss.”Taking a seat on the sofa, Rey observed as Noah quickly positioned himself behind him.‘Good. He knows how to keep appearances without me needing to tell him…’ Rey felt relieved.Noah seemed to be able to handle himself in business now, but sometimes he was still an indecisive klutz.Like now, when he allowed his time to be delay

“Keuk!”Billy winced as something landed heavily on his stomach, the force of it creating a rush of wind even before impact.Fortunately, his quick step backward lessened the impact of the blow by a considerable degree.‘A-ahh…!’Still, a sharp burning sensation spread across his abdomen, making him grit his teeth to suppress a cry.It stung him, to say the least, but he endured the pain.He also tried to hide his downright shock, but Billy failed woefully at that.His bulging eyes were glued to Rey, who had resumed his standby stance—almost as if prepared to deliver another volley.‘D-did Rey just land a hit… on me?’ Billy stared in disbelief.Sure, Billy was aware that he lacked the advantage of using his incredible Skills, but his Stats were meant to be superior.How was Rey able to do something like that?!‘Calm down, Billy. He just got lucky. Yes… I was distracted and he had a lucky shot.’After chalking it down to a fluke, Billy found himself regaining composure.There was no wa

After the Trial, everyone went their way and Rey had to return to his room.Although he had the freedom to wander the central Living Room, he opted to stay put since he preferred not to.No one could blame him.As night descended and everyone else slept soundly, a certain student couldn’t sleep."Damn it…" He muttered, his eyes were wide open as he stared at the ceiling. Before long, he sat upright and clapped his hand over his face.“I screwed up big time…” He murmured in the dark.It was hard to make out the expression on his face, but it appeared to be a grimace. ‘I didn’t expect to be asked for another testimony. It wasn’t part of the plan…’In the dark of the night, Adam Sanchez lay on the bed going over the earlier events of the day.How he had been humiliated before everyone.“I really fucked up!”“Ahh… don’t blame yourself too much.” A voice suddenly said from the corner of the room.“Eep!”Like a little child, Adam shrieked as he jumped from his position, startled.The figu

In a luxurious office in an undisclosed location, a man stood by the window, paying no attention to the elegant chair and stunning desk behind him.The blond hair on his head was a lot longer than a man’s, but a tad shorter than a woman’s. He had a few wrinkles on his face, indicating his age, and a short beard that was neatly trimmed.His outfit matched the layout of the room—elegant and clearly expensive.He was watching the events of the marketplace—the Black Market—with a smile on his face.As one of the six members of the Obsidian Council, it pleased him to see the community thriving.As he savored the taste of his wine and reminisced, a sharp knock interrupted his thoughts. The man’s emerald eyes snapped towards the door, his smile slowly fading.“Come in.”The door creaked open, revealing a man dressed in a lavish waistcoat and formal attire. Despite his youthful appearance—likely in his early thirties—the wisdom reflected in his gaze betrayed his age. This was Aldred Winsley

[Moments Earlier]“It’s about time…”Adam Sanchez rose from his bed with a resolute expression on his face.As his eyes stared into the distance, his face fixed on the door that stood meters away, he had a vacant expression.His lips trembled slightly as he hid the special dagger in his pocket.‘It’s pretty late now. It’s the perfect moment to strike…’To prepare for this moment, his partner had granted him another Enchanted Item—a Stealth Necklace.Using that, along with his sole B-Tier Skill, Adam figured he could get the job done.‘No matter how strong he is… Adonis will be vulnerable in his sleep!’The floor seemed to creak as Adam took steps forward. It could have been his imagination, but the journey to the door felt longer than usual.Reaching the door at last, he placed his hand on the knob with a gentle touch.“Haaa…” He took a deep breath and calmed himself.Clearing his mind of distractions, Adam focused solely on his goal. His goal was simple, and the stage was set for hi
