Twenty hours.

That was how long it had been since I officially took over father’s office and began putting things in motion. Twenty hours of meetings, messages, secret negotiations, threats wrapped inside polite conversations, and about a thousand lies told with a straight face.

And honestly? I was proud of myself. Very proud.

The elders had started softening already. Not all of them, of course. Some of those old men would rather choke on their own pride than admit a younger leader

    🖱️Jayden🖱️ “Do you want me around, or should I come over with your dada?” The voice on the phone was calm, familiar, and strong, and I could feel the weight of concern in every word. I wiped the fresh tears from my cheeks, trying to straighten my back, trying to pull myself together. I forced a smile even though it felt fragile, shaky at best. “Papa… I’m supposed to rule a world. I have to be a man… a boy who still needs his papa and dada can’t rule,” I said, my voice carrying the conflict I felt inside. There was a pause on the other side, and then his warm, steady voice cut through the fog of my grief. “And who said that, son? My son is a very strong man. He can do anything he sets his mind to. You think ruling is just sitting on a throne? No, son. It’s being patient. It’s knowing when to speak and when to listen. It’s understanding your people, even when your heart aches for someone you’ve lost. You are strong, Jayden. Don’t let grief make you forget that.” I swallowed hard, t

    🖱️Jayden🖱️ “Baby, you need to eat something.” Sammy’s voice was soft but steady, though I could see the edge of pain behind it. He was trying not to break, trying not to crumble in front of me, but I knew him too well. I could see it in his eyes, that familiar storm he always fought to hide. I shook my head slowly, my hands trembling as I clutched the blanket tighter around me. “Do… do you know how he… how he died?” I asked, keeping my voice as calm as I could, though the tremor betrayed me. It felt impossible to ask, even now, but I needed to know. The night… last night had been ours. It had been perfect, full of warmth and closeness, and I had woken this morning to a pain in my chest and a hollow ache in my neck. I had thought it was normal after everything but now the truth pressed down on me, heavy and suffocating. Sammy swallowed hard. “It’s… it’s been a full month, Jayden.” His words were careful, deliberate. “A full month since that night. You were… in a sleeping state. You

    🖱️Jane🖱️I had been watching him for what felt like forever. The hospital room had been my world for a month, and he had been trapped in a deep sleep the whole time. Every single day, I’d sit there, barely blinking, barely breathing, just staring at him. Just waiting for him to open his eyes. My heart had been aching, my chest tight with worry, every second feeling like I was losing him all over again.And then, finally, he moved. His eyelids fluttered, and the color in his eyes returned slowly, like the sunrise chasing away a long, bitter night.“Jane…”His voice was faint, broken, but it was enough to undo me. Tears I had been holding back for weeks spilled over, hot and relentless, running freely down my cheeks. My hands shook as I reached toward him, needing to touch him, to make sure he was real.“You crying, Jane?” His lips curved into a small, sleepy smile. And that smile… it shattered me further, because it was him, finally, here, alive. My tears flowed even faster.“You loo

    🖱️Sammy🖱️ I tried so hard not to cry. Goddess knows I tried. But the tears kept coming anyway. They slipped down my face quietly at first, then faster, like my body had completely ignored the command my brain kept giving it to stop. I wiped my face roughly with the back of my hand and stared at the ground again, hoping maybe if I blinked enough times the scene in front of me would somehow change. It didn’t. The smell of burnt stone and smoke still filled the air. The massive building that once stood proudly in the middle of the council grounds was nothing but a destroyed skeleton now. The walls had collapsed inward, the windows were shattered, and everything inside looked like it had been swallowed by hell itself. Fire had done its job well. Too well. Around the ruins were the remains of bodies that the rescue teams had already tried to collect. Most of them were nothing but burnt bones and ash at this point. I stared at them without blinking. My chest tightened again. So

    🖱️Jayden🖱️ Pain. That was the first thing I felt before my mind even caught up with reality. Not the normal kind of pain either. This wasn’t the soreness from training too hard or the dull ache you get after reading all night. This felt different, deeper, like something inside my chest was being squeezed by invisible hands that refused to let go. My eyes snapped open. I sucked in a sharp breath. “Ah~~~” The sound left my throat before I could stop it, rough and shaky like my lungs had forgotten how to breathe properly. My heart slammed violently against my ribs. One beat. Two. Three. Each one felt wrong. Too heavy. Too painful. My hand immediately shot to my chest, fingers pressing against the spot like that would somehow stop whatever the hell was happening inside me. “Jayden?” The voice beside me sounded strained. I turned my head slowly and saw Sammy sitting up beside me on the bed. His hair was messy, his breathing uneven like he had just woken up from the same

    🖱️Victor🖱️ “Vampire king, welcome to the panel.” The voice that greeted me carried the kind of calm confidence that only people who believed themselves untouchable usually had. I walked into the circular chamber slowly, the sound of my footsteps echoing across the polished black floor as the large doors behind me shut with a quiet final click that almost felt symbolic. So this was it. The heart of the Supreme Council. The room was massive, designed like an ancient senate hall, with a large round table placed in the center and tall windows stretching all the way to the ceiling. Sunlight filtered through the glass but somehow the room still felt cold, like the warmth refused to stay inside these walls. Ten people were already seated around the table. I took the empty seat they had clearly prepared for me and leaned back slightly while studying them carefully. To be honest… I was surprised. My whole life the Supreme Council had been spoken about like they were ancient gods who

    🖱️Jayden🖱️ “Move in with you… are you for real?” I asked, staring at Jane like she had just suggested we rob the academy treasury for fun. That was genuinely the last thing I was expecting to hear tonight. Not after almost getting mauled by a future werewolf king, claimed by a vampire prince, an

    🖱️Jayden🖱️ He stood there staring at me like he could see into places in me I didn’t even want to admit existed. His breathing was steady. “I really really like you, Jayden,” he said. “And I truly thought what I did out there was me protecting you. Since it wasn’t okay with you, I won’t do it ag

    🖱️Jayden🖱️ Jane kicked the door open like she was breaking into a crime scene and pushed me inside before I even caught my breath. The second my foot crossed the room, my legs just gave up. I dropped straight to the floor, not caring about anything anymore. My body didn’t even argue. My bones jus

    🖱️Sammy🖱️I held my chest with both hands the moment the little fairy ran off with him. My breathing was wild, shaking out of rhythm like my heart had forgotten how to beat. My wolf was still pushing against my skin, pacing inside me like a monster trapped in a too-small cage.Goddess… I almost m
