เข้าสู่ระบบThe scene was still wet with blood when I arrived.Two werewolves, both dead, both dispatched with an efficiency that I found myself studying with something closer to admiration than horror. Sage stood at the edge of it, her clothes splattered dark, her expression caught somewhere between shock and the particular stillness that comes after a body has done something the mind hasn't fully processed yet.I had her walk me through what happened.She had defended herself. That was the only fact that mattered to me in any real sense, everything else was logistics, the kind of mess that money and influence and the right amount of fear could clean up by morning. Whoever had sent these two after her had made themselves my enemy the moment their blood hit my floor. I did not need to deliberate over that. The math resolved itself instantly, the way it always did when something belonging to me was threatened."I am more concerned with how bold this cabal has become," I told Argos, once Sage had b
Sage.I had not even walked far before my senses went into overdrive. I felt them before I saw them. An attack from my left. I evaded just in time to see a clawed and furry hand sail past me.“You should not have humiliated me,” Baldy with the bad tattoo growled.“You know I am Dominic’s guest, right?” I asked as I sized him up. “Well, your Dominic is not here to save you,” he sneered. I chuckled darkly. “No, I am actually worried for you,” I replied. “Tough talk, let see you back it up,” he growled and lunged at me.I marveled at how slow he was when he began to rain down blows that I could not only read but I could also predict. He fought like a child or maybe I was so powerful that it felt so effortless fighting him.I weaved out of his blows and saw many openings in his offense but I did not strike. I waited and stayed on the defensive. I threw myself into a back ward flip to create distance between us. “Stay still, you stupid bitch!” he yelled and threw more desperate and
Alistair.Death sang to me but I paid no attention. I still had plenty to do before her cold hands was ever going to touch me. I was a bit disappointed that Dominic had not died during the explosion but at the same time, I was looking forward to testing my new weapons on him.I had become an abomination to my park. I was neither alive nor dead. I could no longer even classify myself as werewolf. That part of me died in years ago. After the little incident that I had caused with Dominic, it made me realize that all the monsters that I had created were not going to be a fitting match for the Alphas when I needed to strike. I was not going to make the mistake of underestimating them.Even with their DNAs in my possession, I could still fail if I was not careful but failure was not an option. The Alphas of Silver Crest will fall to their knees in front of me. I had dreamed and visualized it. It was going to happen, even if it killed me.“Mind Link complete,” the computerized female v
Sage.“I don’t like the way you…use her,” I muttered as I watched the same trio of men carry out the dead demon. The specialists as Dominic had called them.Aurora was battling a big bowl of apple flavored ice cream and she looked like she was enjoying herself.“Trust me, she got more out of it than I did,” Circe replied dismissively. She was staring intently at something that I could not see in front of her. “And this is what she should look forward to.” I frowned a little as I looked at her. “What do you mean?” “She is a predator, Sage and there would be other different predators li
Sage.Sixty million. Twice.That was the amount of bounty he put on the head of his enemies and the funny part was that, he did not even now their faces.“And so, the killing begins,” Argos said to me. “It is always like this whenever he returns.”“Being a prince of Black Crest means that he has to deal with a lot of assassination attempts and usurpers.” Argos added.I was still reeling from the large sum of money he just casually called. That was someone’s net worth. Was this how money flowed easily around here?The lift opened and Dominic walked in. He gave his long coat to Argos and went to the cabinet. He fixed himself a drink’“Lord Baron, I presume,” Argos said. “He is working with some people and I intend to find them out.” Dominic said.“But is such an amount not too much for them?” Argos asked.“Lord Baron is worth exactly that amount.” Dominic answered. “I wanted him to know that his wealth is not anywhere near mine, nor will it ever be.” “You must have crippled his ego.”
DominicThe hotel went quiet beneath my voice, not silent, never silent in a place this alive, but quiet in the way a room goes quiet when something important is about to be said.“Ladies and gentlemen. Werewolves, demons, witches, and every other creature of the dark currently enjoying my hospitality.” I let my voice carry the particular weight I reserved for moments that mattered. “I am Prince Dominic of Black Crest.”I felt the attention of the entire building shift toward me at once, every floor, every table, every cage and corridor and private room, all of it turning in the direction of my voice the way iron filings turn toward a magnet. Lord B

Mason looked at me with genuine confusion written all over his face, his brow furrowing in a way that created deep lines across his forehead. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I never laid eyes on Sage before or after she left,” he repli
I watched from my position across the room as the scene unfolded with calculated precision. The naked brunette, a low-ranking werewolf girl I’d acquired from the black market, worked diligently at her assigned task. Her long tongue moved with practice
