Chapter 163

Levi’s POV

We didn’t have a choice anymore.

Before we left, I made sure the Living Book was with me, pressed tight against my chest. Nicolas tried one last time to keep Clara behind. She refused without hesitation.

“I’m not leaving you alone,” she said.

I snapped, the stress getting the better of me.

“Are you two seriously going to waste time displaying your love right now?”

Nicolas clicked his tongue and ignored me. He stepped closer to Clara, voice low.

“Love, I don’t want you

  • The Rejected Goddess   The Curse Of The Forest

    Chapter 168 The Enchanted Forest of Demons The Enchanted Forest of Demons was nothing like any forest they had ever known. Trees rose like twisted black pillars, their bark pulsing faintly as if they were breathing. Thick vines hung from the branches like nooses, and the ground beneath their feet was soft, damp, and unnaturally warm. A low mist crawled along the forest floor, glowing a sickly green in places. Strange whispers drifted between the trunks — soft, almost loving, yet filled with malice. No birds sang. No insects chirped. The only sound was the occasional creak of wood that sounded far too much like laughter. They walked in tense silence, weapons ready, senses stretched thin. The living book floated beside Levi, its pages fluttering restlessly. Then suddenly. Arin stopped walking. Her eyes glazed over. A soft, almost dreamy smile spread across her face as she stepped off the path toward a massive, twisted tree. “Roosevelt…” she whispered. In her mind, he

  • The Rejected Goddess   Gate Of The Damned

    Chapter 167 The Vampire Realm Levi’s POV I was going mad. Fate seemed determined to keep me away from Erin. We had only just reunited, and now she was gone again. Ripped away like she had never been returned to me in the first place. My chest felt tight. My hands wouldn’t stop trembling. Nicolas placed a steady hand on my shoulder. “Calm down, Levi. We’ll come up with a solution.” I groaned, the sound raw. “How? We don’t even know who took her or where she went.” Arin rocked Rose gently in her arms, her expression troubled. “I fear whatever took her has something to do with the hell the book said she got her powers from.” The thought made my stomach twist. Erin had once told me she spent five years in that place. What if this time it was ten? What if I lost her for even longer? Eric tapped my shoulder, his red eyes sharp. “What do you know about this hell Erin got her powers from?” I shook my head. “I don’t know much. You should ask her yourself.” I didn’t want to speak ab

  • The Rejected Goddess   The Land Of The Damned

    Chapter 166 The Abyss Erin’s POV I woke up in the Abyss. The Realm of Hell. The air itself felt wrong — thick, heavy, and burning at the edges of every breath. This was the place where pure-blooded demons, fallen spirits, and every kind of infernal creature lived. Even the darkness here felt alive, pressing against my skin like it wanted to crawl inside me. Strong arms were carrying me through a cursed forest. Twisted black trees with leaves that dripped something dark stretched toward a blood-red sky. In the distance, an ancient fortress rose like an open wound. With every step, memories of the past slammed into me. We passed through towering doors nearly a hundred feet tall. They were carved from polished obsidian and covered in ancient infernal runes that glowed like molten gold. The moment we entered the throne hall, the temperature dropped so sharply that my breath turned visible. The silence was absolute, the kind that made your heartbeat sound too loud. I was d

  • The Rejected Goddess   Taken

    Chapter 165 The Dark Witch Realm Erin’s POV My throat tightened. The only person I had ever told was Levi. Speaking it out loud felt different. I knew Eric wouldn’t simply forget about it, especially after hearing the Living Book say it so clearly in front of everyone. I blinked nervously, I didn't know how to start. Levi stepped slightly in front of me. “I think it’s best if you don’t pressure my mate right now.” I pressed my lips together. Eric’s frown deepened. “Excuse me. I care about my sister. I need to know what she did. Hell? How did you even get there, let alone receive powers from it?” I met his eyes calmly. “When all we get back to the vampire realm… I’ll talk about it.” Through the bond, Levi’s voice was soft. Baby, you don’t have to tell him if you’re not ready. I shook my head slightly. It’s alright. He’s going to find out sooner or later. Before we could move any further, the air shifted. The Dark King arrived. His presence alone made the tempera

  • The Rejected Goddess   The Key

    Chapter 164 Inside The Glass Bottle Erin’s POV The shock that hit me when I saw Rose and Arin trapped inside the bottle with me was almost physical. I still didn’t understand why the Dark King had taken Rose. She was just a child. A month old baby. Fear coiled tightly in my chest as I wondered what he planned to do to her… especially after I had killed his daughter. Seeing Arin only made the situation worse. She was strong. By now she should have regained her full powers. Finding her locked in the same glass prison as me was anything but encouraging. I hoped Levi and Nicolas were already working on a plan. My own powers were completely useless inside the bottle. Everything looked distorted. I felt smaller than a golden fly buzzing against the glass. The space was massive compared to us, and I looked like an ant. I carefully lifted Rose into my arms and rocked her. The little girl wasn’t even crying. She simply stared ahead with quiet, almost unsettling calm, as if none of this

He stepped closer to Clara, voice low. “Love, I don’t want you to come. It’s not safe.”Clara’s eyes stayed steady. “And I don’t want you going alone. I’ll be worried. Let me come.”Eric had clearly reached his limit. He groaned, tore open a portal, and shoved both of them through. I stepped in after them. Eric followed last. The portal sealed shut behind us.We landed in the same ruined clearing. The air still carried the smell of burned earth and old blood. Eric glanced at the couple. “I guess you’re both coming then.”Nicolas looked unhappy. Clara l

    Chapter 5 _Michelle's POV_ I got down from my brother's car. The gravel bit through my thin shoes. My knees wanted to fold. Kate and Micha were consoling me, but Micha looked ready to rip Levi’s throat out. His hands were fists. His whole body was a wire pulled too tight. I couldn’t le
