The Escape

Chapter 1 Azirah's Pov “Hurry! Wake up, you lazy bags!” A thunderous voice rang out from the old orphanage I was escaping from. It was Miss Ray. “She’s awake?” I froze, my head snapping toward the orphanage, now just a few paces away in the distance. “She’s awake!” I hitched up my loose gown, the fabric threatening to trip me, and bolted. Panic surged through me as I hastened my pace. My feet stumbled on a branch, and I nearly fell, but I managed to catch myself in time. “Don’t let her escape, you clueless blockheads!” Miss Ray snarled, her voice cutting through the night like a whip. I cried out as something sharp jabbed into my foot. The pain shot up my leg like fire, but I slapped a hand over my mouth, stifling the sound. If they heard me, they’d find me—and that was the last thing I could allow. My heart hammered as I glanced back toward the orphanage. There was no time to check what I’d stepped on, no time to tend to my throbbing foot. I had to run. Run far, far aw

Chapter 2 “Thought you could escape me now huh?” Miss Ray voice echoes in all over the room julting me up but she was no where around. “Miss… miss Ray?” I called unsure if I was hallucinating. “Azirah!” She called. The name sharp and evil like. Making me to shake with dear. “I found you, picked you and raised you and all you could do is to keep running?” “What do you want from me?” I asked as sweet drips from my head. Laughter echoes what seemed like cave. “What can I possibly want from you? Until this!” Miss Ray appeared but had a different face, it appeared young and prettier she bent over to were I sat on my knees and makes to touch the neckless that sat on my neck for as long as i had known. Just as her hand tries to make contact it darken and like a force, it blew her out throwing her to the end of the room. I shierk backwards equally scared. Miss Ray didn't seem happy as she raises up slowly with her back facing me. “You!” she snapped as she faced me. Her

Werebeast

Chapter 3 The mansion loomed before me, a sprawling structure surrounded by a dense forest. The sunlight glinted off the glass panels adorning the house, casting a dazzling brilliance over its surface. Despite its beauty, I moved quickly, slipping into the shadows. My aim was clear—I needed to hear what was being discussed. As I crept closer to the breach where Old Miss Ray stood with a stranger, their voices drifted to me. I pressed myself against the wall, straining to catch their words. “I need the broken Silver Crest,” Miss Ray said, her tone sharp and demanding. “What Silver Crest?” the man asked, his voice deep and steady. “You and I both know which Silver Crest,” she snapped. “No,” he replied, his tone growing colder. “The one I know of has long been extinct. So tell me, which Silver Crest are you speaking of?” She tapped her stick against the ground three times—a habit I knew well, one she always displayed when her patience wore thin or when she felt insulted. Her

Lamentis Obscura

Chapter 4 I woke up in a void. The air was thick, stifling, and heavy with a heat that clung to my skin like a second layer. Darkness pressed in around me, vast and unrelenting, and the only sensation I could grasp was the hot breeze that blew past me. It wasn’t comforting; it felt alive, purposeful. Something—or someone—was here. I could feel it. “Hello?” I whispered, my voice trembling under the weight of fear. My heart pounded so loudly it felt like it might crack my ribs. My legs quaked, shifting restlessly as if I could dance away from the dread creeping up my spine. Suddenly— Crack! The sound was sharp, unnatural, and close. Too close. My head snapped toward it, my breath hitching. It was like something—or someone—had broken a branch in the suffocating stillness. “Who’s there?” I yelled, my voice echoing into the void. It bounced back to me, distorted and hollow, as if the darkness was mocking me. Another breeze swept past, hotter this time, prickling my skin li

Silver Crest Stone

Chapter 5 Those words sent a ripple through me, a tingling sensation spreading below my waist, igniting a strange mix of curiosity and fear. I swallowed hard, heat rising to my cheeks as I forced myself to look away. What if he noticed? What if he could read the chaos in my head? Before I could gather myself, the door swung open with a loud creak, slamming against the wall. My heart jolted, and I turned sharply. A figure burst in, his steps hurried and his face pale, but then—he froze. I expected him to recover, to step aside, to say something. But he didn’t. His gaze fell on us, wide-eyed, almost hesitant. “I'm sorry, Alpha!” George stammered, his voice breaking the thick silence. “Don’t you know how to knock?” Nergal’s voice boomed, sharp and commanding, his back rigid as he turned to face George fully. “I... I didn’t know, I just thought—” “What brings you here?” Nergal cut him off, his tone cold enough to freeze fire. George gulped audibly, his hands fidgeting at his

Either Way You Die

Chapter 6 The night was cold, and soothing, the air crisp against my skin as I limped onto the balcony. Alone. I took a deep breath and relished the feeling. I pulled my shawl tighter, staring at the moon as my thoughts wandered. So much had changed in so little time. For a moment, I let myself breathe—let myself feel something close to freedom. But happiness never stayed long. There was always a lingering weight, a dull ache that settled deep inside me. A gust of wind sent strands of hair tickling my face. I tucked them behind my ear, sighing. "I could have you if I want to." The memory of his voice sent an unfamiliar warmth through me. I bit my lip, embarrassed by the way my body reacted. I had never felt this before—this strange, exhilarating sensation. A part of me wished I could see him again. Hear him say those words, watch his eyes bore into mine. I shook my head, ashamed of the thought. What is wrong with me? "You seem strong enough now, I see." The voice sn

Burning Scorn

Chapter 7 I winced as I stepped onto the stairs, pain shooting through my leg. For a moment, I hesitated, wondering if it was worth making the long descent. This was the first time I was leaving my room since being brought here. The blue gown draped over me perfectly, as if tailored just for me—or someone exactly my size. I wiped my sweaty palms against the fabric. My nerves tightened. I didn’t know what to expect. I descended slowly, each step deliberate, until I saw him. Dressed in a black suit, his dark hair slicked back, he stood at the bottom of the stairs, his expression unreadable. But his eyes—his piercing gaze never wavered from mine. For some reason, I stopped limping. I straightened my posture, willing myself to appear composed. Presentable. Appealing. His eyes swept over me, head to toe. Admiring. My heart fluttered. I tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear, a small, unconscious smile forming. Then, just as I reached the last step, my foot caught on the he

Merida and Melissa

Chapter 8 A violent bang shattered the silence. The door flew open, crashing against the wall. A woman rushed in, breathless, eyes wild with urgency. "Melissa! They are here. We are under attack!" Melissa jerked awake, heart pounding. The room was dark, the air thick with the scent of burning wood and something far more sinister—blood. She tossed the blanket aside, revealing a small, wrapped bundle beside her. Her breath hitched. "Oh no! They found out?" The woman who had run in stepped closer into the dim light, her face becoming clearer. Merida. My heart skipped. It was Old Miss Ray—young again. What the hell was happening? I looked around, my mind racing. This place—this moment—wasn't mine. But no one saw me. No one sensed I was here. Merida’s voice trembled, but her resolve never wavered. “Yes, they found out. They’re coming for you. We’re holding them off, but you have minutes. You need to leave. Now.” Melissa's eyes flickered with something—defiance. She hal

The Mark of Septarch

Chapter 9 Nergal's Pov I lay on my bed, my mind racing. Her sweet scent still lingered in the air, intoxicating and familiar. Ever since I found her, my wolf had been unreasonably calm—except when I was far away from her. Tonight, every part of me ached to watch her as she slept, just like every other night. Without a second thought, I left my room and made my way to hers. There she was, lying peacefully, undisturbed. I carefully adjusted the blanket, which was already slipping from her body due to her restless movements. She was a messy sleeper. A small frown creased her face as she murmured something in her sleep, turning onto her side. I wondered what she could be dreaming about to make her frown like that. My gaze drifted down until it settled on her lips—small, heart-shaped, and rosy. My wolf stirred, restless. Every part of me craved her. I leaned forward, drawn to her, our lips just inches apart— The door burst open. "Apologies for the intrusion, Alpha," George

The Noctimimic

Chapter 10Lena carefully closed the door behind her while we waited outside. “She’s sound asleep, Alpha. She should be fully recovered before evening.”I pushed back my still-wet hair, but it stubbornly fell back onto my forehead. My mind was restless.I turned to George, who looked just as troubled. “You were here, George. I spoke to you about not allowing Lena to follow.”“I wasn’t here, Alpha. Neither was Lena.” George exchanged a confused glance with her.I exhaled sharply. “I know. I figured it out. It was a different strategy—different witchery. They wanted me gone so they could have their way.”“You mean they were able to enter the territory?” Lena asked, her brows furrowing.“Yes, but they can’t cause much physical harm.”“Physically? What do you mean, Alpha?” George stepped forward, his concern deepening.I stared blankly at the garden, its vibrant flowers swaying gently in the breeze. “There was a time when witches used dark magic like this. But they stopped because it drai
