Chapter 9

Penulis: Alyssa J
The four most powerful beings in the Grayhall Manor trial—my family—accompanied me all the way out, reluctantly seeing me off to... the spiraling stone staircase leading down to the lower nests.

I was clutching a pile of "little gifts" they had stuffed into my arms, so moved I was almost on the verge of tears.

Who said this blood moon trial was full of twists and terror? Weren't these my most intimate, most adorable family members?

The werewolf audience watching through their mental screens scrolled through their comments with obvious envy:

【If someone gave me that vampire-werewolf's primal fang, I'd think they were the most benevolent beings too.】

【You have to admit, Serina has her own way of doing things. At the very least, she's survived in the King's Nest this long and has earned the affection of those powerful beings.】

【That's right. Previous trial candidates couldn't even touch the stone gate of the King's Nest before being torn apart by 'Bloodclaw' Lia.】

  • The Werewolf Trials   Chapter 13

    The pain I expected never came.A large hand, faster than lightning, clamped around the blade of the dagger. It was Eros. Where the silver met his palm, it hissed, wisps of smoke rising, and the immediate smell of burning flesh filled the air.But his grip was so tight that blood seeped through his fingers, dripping onto my tunic like a blooming red flower.There was no accusation in his eyes, only endless pain and an almost shattered resolve."No, Serina," his voice was strained with pain, yet it held an undeniable strength. "The choice belongs to us."Almost as the words left his lips, Lia, Morgan, and Morgana exchanged a single look. An unspoken understanding passed between them. In that look was sacrifice, a release, and the ultimate interpretation of the word "family.""For Mommy!" Lia screamed, her small body unleashing a final burst of energy as she threw herself toward a sharp rock, aiming straight for her own heart."Live, little lamb." / "Carry our share and live well."

    Eros didn't kill Safia and Thaine right away.He strode toward them, his movements a dark shadow tearing through space. The sound of their bones snapping was crisp and chilling under the crimson moonlight. He used no fancy abilities, only the most primal strength. He twisted their limbs clean and sharp, ensuring they were completely stripped of the ability to fight back, but without immediately killing them.Pained screams echoed through the rainforest, but Eros's expression didn't change in the slightest. He picked up their limp bodies as if discarding two bags of trash and carried them deep into the rainforest, toward a foul-smelling, venomous snake's lair that reeked of decay and blood. There, coiled within, were Moon-Cursed Thorn Vipers. Their venom delivered excruciating pain, but it wasn't instantly fatal.He threw them in. The screams were cut short, replaced by the wet, slithering sounds of something being devoured and muffled hisses.Then, he turned and walked toward me. The g

    On the evening of the sixth day of the trial, the blood moon's glow painted the rainforest a deep crimson. I caressed the hardened scale I'd just gotten from the 15th nest, smelling faintly of sulfur. It was my ninth token.Just one more step. As long as I returned to the King's Nest and received the tokens from Eros and the others, I could pass the second stage.Just as I was about to return to the King's Nest, that place I called home, a cold mechanical voice tore through the silence:【Initial candidates: 100. current survivors: 3.】Only three were left now. Besides me... a cold premonition seized my throat."Well, look what we have here. Our little "sense-impaired" waste product." a voice dripping with scorn came from the shadows ahead.Safia and Thaine stepped out into the open, like predators patrolling their territory. The fake gentleness from before was gone, replaced by naked arrogance and disdain.Thaine sized me up from head to toe, his gaze assessing me like a piece of merch

    The days that followed, I stuck to my own pace. Each day, after collecting three tokens, I would turn back and not linger in the lower nests.I knew that every being here—those souls cast out by their packs, betrayed by their kin, and abandoned by fate—carried a heavy burden. Just like those Omega siblings sacrificed by their father, the young half-breed werewolf driven to suicide, and the healer falsely accused and losing her child... they all had heartbreaking stories.I listened and offered what comfort I could in my own way, then left with their tokens.Because I knew clearly that at the very top, in the "King's Nest" that all other trial candidates feared, my real family was waiting for me.Every day, when I stepped into the entrance of the 100th nest looking slightly weary, the first one to greet me was always Lia."Mommy!"She was like a silver-white cannonball, icy to the touch but bursting with joy, and she threw herself into my arms. Her little head rubbed insistently against

    The discussion among those watching the trial immediately heated up:【The token collection phase is finally here! This is the most dangerous part!】【The entire group got wiped out in this phase during the last trial. Those lone wolves will never give up their tokens easily!】【How will Serina collect tokens? She can't even fight, can she?】Just then, my communication crystal flickered to life. It was a message from Safiya:【Serina, congratulations on surviving the first three days safely. Things are getting serious now, we need to help each other. I've contacted several survivors and we've decided to share information. There are a few relatively safe caves near your King's Nest. Perhaps we could cooperate?】Her tone was still gentle and concerned, but I noticed she was subtly probing:【By the way, I've always been curious how you survived in the King's Nest. Your "family"... are they easy to get along with? Any advice you could share?】I narrowed my eyes, carefully reading the words on
