“I do,” Ligon said, voice taut. “It’s distant still. Best we pretend we’re deaf before it decides to come closer.”

But the melody began to weave through the fog like threads, drawing tighter and nearer

Valia looked back at the boat, eyes narrowed. “Alright, this is getting nastier by the second. We need to leave, and fast. Even if the boat’s our only option. We take it.”

He hesitated.

But logic whispered that standing still in enchanted fog was as dangerous as stepping forward.

“You stay close,” he said finally. “If anything feels wrong—”

“—I destroy it,” Valia finished, drawing her claws out.

A reluctant smile ghosted across his face. “Exactly.”

They climbed aboard. The wood felt warm underfoot, as if the boat had been waiting for them. The lanterns flickered to life of their own accord, spilling a soft honey-colored glow across the deck.

Valia touched one of the carved railings. “It’s beautiful,” she admitted.

“Too beautiful,” Ligon murmured.

The river was calm, eerily still. Then,

  • The Alpha's Dragon   Chapter Seventy-Five: Chains

    “So any plans of escape?” Mangolia cleared his throat, his voice, low yet firm , carried through the tight spaceNo one answered. The smallest boy in the middle, lifted his head, his clavicles popping out like dried twigs, his small head dangled on his thin neck as he tilted his head at Mangolia. “What a fool.” He snarled bitterly “do you think you can escape from the clutches of this wicked man? We are small, he is big, even a blind can see we stand no chance against that monster, so-”“You underestimate yourself.” Mangolia interrupted. “If we move together, one man cannot overpower us all.”The little boy smirked.“You must have been taken for ransom,” the boy started. His voice was soft, but something about it made the others glance his way, wary. “Fancy shirt, clean hands, freedom mentality. Definitely not one of us.”Mangolia straightened, tugging against his chains. “My suggestion isn’t because of my status but let me introduce myself. I am Mangolia Paul. My father will burn th

    The path wound toward the forest, moonlight dripping through branches above them. Kruel walked ahead, massive and silent.Mangolia scowled at his back hard.“You fight well,” Kruel said casually, as if commenting on the weather. “For a boy.”Mangolia scoffed. “Should I blush?”“You’re strong,” Kruel continued, ignoring him. “Powerful instincts. Good footwork. A bit wild, but interesting. I can understand why you were quite confident. "“Oh, please,” Mangolia hissed, his leg kicking the dried wooden branch in front of him. “If you think flattery makes me like you, you’re delusional.”Kruel huffed a low amused sound. “Your young spirit is quite refreshing.”Mangolia rolled his eyes. “I'm so honored to refresh your ancient bones.”Kruel’s lips twitched. “and you also have quite the mouth."“I'll be accepting your donations. Nothing's for free, least of all this entertaining mouth.”Kruel gave him a long, unreadable glance over his shoulder. “We’ll see.”Mangolia shifted uncomfortably.“W

    “You keep pushing me,” Mangolia growled through a clenched jaw, every word trembling with the effort not to explode.Kruel bared his teeth, a slow, feral unfurling. “Then push back boy.”His voice dipped, shameless."I enjoy a good foreplay amidst the tussle of fists." soft chuffing sounds followed his revelation as his hand swung forward and backward in excitement.Mangolia groaned in annoyance, rushing sloppily at Kruel, his body crouched low to confuse Kruel. In a swift motion, he sprang up and hurled his fist straight at Kruel’s jaw.Kruel’s head tilted aside with the lazy interest, barely dodging Mangolia's full-force punch. Mangolia’s knuckles punched nothing but air, and Kruel’s lips split into a wicked grin.“That’s adorable,” he declared in a loud voice, pleasure evident in his gaze as his gaze darkening as he slid his tongue across his lips with a slow, deliberate smack.His eyes flashed with predatory delight, and he opened his arms wide, welcoming any form of chaos Mangoli

    The Sand Fang froze, terror rooting them in place. Even Lanky's face paled at the sight of him.“You… you’re—” Lanky gasped, his eyes widening at first , fingers twitching uselessly at his sides. His jaw worked, words caught somewhere between disbelief and fear. His eyes darted over Mangolia’s hulking form, pupils narrowing, teeth gritting.“A… werewolf,” he spat, voice low and venomous, each syllable dripping with disgust and fury. A collective hiss of disapproval arose from the Sand Fangs.Werewolves were hated among the jackals. The jackals felt the werewolves thought themselves superior to other canine families, so despite not having they guts to fight the werewolves. Who honestly cared little to zero about their opinions. They just hated them instead.Fangs bared, Mangolia’s growl rolled over the rooftops, a warning carried by the wind. “No more games,” he growled, voice raw, eyes burning. He tilted back his head, letting a feral howl that pierced through the evening sky.At his

    "Get him." Lanky's voice rumbled, dark and commanding. "and bring my money to me." His voice dropped menacingly low. The words barely left his lips before the gang surged at Mangolia, eyes wild with anticipation, teeth bared, eager to tear Mangolia down.Mangolia bared his fangs wide, a growl ripping from his chest as he rushed at them in equal excitement to prove his strength. His hands closed around a jackal’s neck, lifting him slightly off the ground, then effortlessly slamming him against the wall with a thud that echoed through the alley."Come at me." Mangolia taunted and Lanky's eyebrow rose, a flicker of amusement passing over his face.Without wasting time, two jackals lunged at him. Mangolia ducked under their swings with precision, but his ankle caught against a sturdy stone. A grunt followed as he stumbled, rolling till he hit hard against the wall. His teeth flashing as he spat blood. His mind raced. As if to answer his distress. Shadows loomed at the edge of the alley

  • The Alpha's Dragon   Chapter Seventy: More Than Thieves

    “Evening, gentlemen,” Mangolia greeted cheerfully, gold coinery in hand, he looked at them with wide, earnest eyes.The Sand Fangs lounged lazily by a gambling table at the square, tossing few bronze coinery carelessly. Their sharp laughter paused as they heard Mangolia's newly adapted innocent voice.“Could you point me toward… the book guild?” he asked, voice soft, mimicking a clueless child.He raised his hand to gesture vaguely up the road, the gold coinery resting proudly between his fingertips. Sunlight glinted off its edge, bright enough to draw every hungry eye.Perfect bait, Mangolia mused, watching their eyes follow the gleam.The thick-necked brute with tattoos, squinted at him. “A rich little snack, huh?" Mangolia blinked once.Oh, wow, he thought, in a flat tone. Subtlety and intelligence clearly isn’t your strength big guy."Let’s see what other goodies lie within.” He reached Mangolia in quick strides and snatched the coinery off his palm before Mangolia could react.
