Then one of the boys leaned back in his chair.

A smirk appeared on his face.

"Can we help you?"

Anastasia stared at him.

Her voice was cold… Not angry… Just cold enough to make the smile on a few nearby faces disappear.

"You don't get to bully people."

The smirk on the boy's face faltered… Only slightly.

Anastasia continued.

"Humiliating someone isn't funny."

Her gaze swept across the table.

"Cornering someone isn't funny."

Another pause…

The silence seemed to stretch.

  • THE FORBIDDEN BOND OF FATE   What Belongs to Me

    Lucien searched her eyes for a long moment.He wasn't searching for certainty.He was searching for something to believe in. And somehow… He found it there.His fingers slowly tightened around hers.He didn't answer… He simply held on.After a while, Lucien's gaze drifted across the clearing once more. It eventually settled on the witch's lifeless body.He slowly rose to his feet.For a long moment… He simply stood there, studying her in silence.His eyes moved patiently over every wound that scarred her body… Not one of them was shallow and not one of them belonged to a one-sided battle.Every wound told the same story.She had been forced to fight for every breath.The faintest smile touched Lucien's lips."...You had quite a battle of your own."His voice was quiet, almost thoughtful.His gaze never left the battered corpse."...You gave her one hell of a fight."There was unmistakable admiration in his tone.For another moment, he remained silent, his eyes tracing the countless in

  • THE FORBIDDEN BOND OF FATE   The Fear of a Father

    Lucien emerged from the ravaged battlefield and made his way towards the clearing where he had last sensed Anana and Anastasia.His pace was calm and measured. Yet his eyes missed nothing.The forest had become a graveyard.Broken branches carpeted the ground almost like they were shattered bones of the ancient pines. Fresh gouges scarred the trunks of towering trees, some cleaved clean through, others blackened by magic. The scent of blood hung so heavily in the air that it smothered the earthy fragrance of the forest.Bodies lay everywhere.Black Wanderers had fallen where death claimed them, their limbs twisted at unnatural angles, their weapons scattered beyond lifeless fingers. Blood seeped into the forest floor, soaking roots, stones, and leaves until the earth itself seemed to have turned red.Lucien's gaze drifted over the carnage in complete silence.Every corpse, wound and shattered weapon… Each one of them told a story.Then...His eyes settled on a familiar face.The witch

  • THE FORBIDDEN BOND OF FATE   A Worthy End

    The remaining Black Wanderers had witnessed everything...Every.Single.Moment.They had watched the witches unravel into drifting crimson-black embers.They had watched the giant stagger… watched his colossal legs buckle beneath him... watched the invincible warrior crash to his knees.And then… They witnessed the impossible.The being they had believed could never be defeated… The monster they had believed stood beyond death itself… The pillar upon which their courage had always rested… Disappear right before their very eyes.Then...Silence!A crushing, suffocating silence swallowed the battlefield whole. It came so suddenly that it felt unnatural.Hundreds of Black Wanderers stood frozen where they were, unable to tear their eyes away from the empty place where the giant had stood only moments before.It was as though the entire battlefield had forgotten how to breathe.Their minds simply refused to accept what their eyes had witnessed.The giant… Was gone! The very foundation

  • THE FORBIDDEN BOND OF FATE   A Worthy Opponent

    Lucien stood in silence, his piercing blue eyes resting on the giant for several long moments.The battlefield had grown strangely quiet.Only the faint sound of fading magic drifted through the forest.At last...He spoke."...I didn't."The giant's weary eyes widened ever so slightly.For what seemed like the first time since the battle began, genuine surprise crossed his face.Lucien lowered his gaze for a brief moment, as though replaying the battle in his mind.When he spoke again, his voice was calm, carrying neither pride nor triumph."I was searching for your weakness."He paused…"My attention never left you… because there was no way I could reach the witches while you stood between us."His eyes slowly lifted to meet the giant's once more."Then...""I noticed something."His expression remained unreadable."One of them reacted.""So slightly..."He exhaled softly through his nose."...that I almost convinced myself I'd imagined it."His gaze drifted briefly towards the plac

  • THE FORBIDDEN BOND OF FATE   The Price of Instinct

    Then…The witch slowly opened her eyes. There was no fear in them, no hatred, no panic. Only a quiet, almost heartbreaking acceptance.Her crimson gaze never lingered on Lucien.Instead, it drifted past him… Past the blade buried in her chest… And settled upon the giant charging towards them.For a long moment…She simply looked at him.The deafening roar of the battlefield seemed to fade into the distance.The giant was still racing forward with all the fury of a living catastrophe, yet the witch's expression softened with an emotion that Lucien couldn't quite name.Sorrow?Affection?Perhaps even… farewell?Then…A single tear escaped the corner of her eye, gliding slowly down her pale cheek.Then another followed… And another.Soon, tears flowed freely, slipping silently down her face one after another, each one carrying a sorrow too deep for words.She never sobbed, she never cried out. She simply wept… quietly, helplessly, as though every tear was a farewell she had been holding

  • THE FORBIDDEN BOND OF FATE   I Was Wrong

    The moment their formation broke, the six spheres scattered violently.One tore through a cluster of Black Wanderers.Another ripped through several ancient trees, reducing bark and splintered wood to fragments.A third detonated against the forest floor, sending earth and debris erupting into the air.The remaining three exploded across the battlefield.Black Wanderers screamed.Several were hurled through the air.Others abandoned their positions entirely, scrambling away from the witches and diving behind trees, boulders, and shattered stone for cover.Within moments…The six witches stood completely exposed.But Lucien wasn't watching the chaos around them.He was watching them… Every single one.Their crimson eyes remained open for only a few seconds.Then…One by one, their eyes closed again.Their hands slowly lowered as their voices resumed, slipping seamlessly back into the sinister rhythm.The chant returned as though the interruption had never happened.Lucien's eyes narrow

  • THE FORBIDDEN BOND OF FATE   The Four Foundations

    He wrote a single word beneath the drawing.ADVANTAGEThe white stone scratched softly across the board.Several students leaned forward in their seats. Others hurriedly copied the word into their memory parchment.The teacher stepped back and looked at the class.“Tell me,” he said. “What is stren

  • THE FORBIDDEN BOND OF FATE   The Weight of a Name

    This time, the question carried weight. Not spoken casually but rather spoken carefully, as though it might summon attention they couldn’t handle.“She’s really that young?” another voice followed, low and disbelieving, almost unsettled by the sight in front of them.A pause…Then a sharper whisper

  • THE FORBIDDEN BOND OF FATE   The Alpha God of War’s Daughter

    By the next morning, preparations had already been made for Anastasia to begin school.Not just any school… But the very academy where supernatural children were sent immediately after their first manifestation.The Supernatural Academy.The moment the large black carriage rolled through the academ

  • THE FORBIDDEN BOND OF FATE   The First Manifestation

    “...AHH…!”Anastasia jolted upright violently, the terrified cry tearing from her throat before she could stop it.Her small body trembled against the sheets while shaky breaths escaped her unevenly, broken… almost painful, it felt as though fear itself had wrapped too tightly around her chest.Swe
