The Cage of Silence

Kael stirred, a piercing ache running down his spine, but it was dulled—faint, as if it no longer belonged to him. His breath came shallow, heavy with something too sweet, too sterile. Light filtered through slanted blinds above him, casting stripes across the white-washed ceiling.A ceiling he did not recognize.He blinked, the events of the crash flooding back like shards of broken memory. The deer. The swerve. The roll. Ashara’s scream. Her body jerking beside him as the car twisted violently through the air.Then, darkness.“…Ashara,” Kael rasped.He sat up with a jolt, his muscles instantly tense, but unlike before, he felt no broken bones, no searing wounds. His body had healed, as expected—werewolf regeneration did not disappoint. But it wasn’t the pain he feared.It was her absence.The sterile room had no warmth, no pulse of humanity. The air was… wrong. Too still. Fragrant, but in a way that spoke of blood covered by flowers.He knew that scent.Vampires.Kael threw the blan

The Edge of Truth

The long, sterile corridor of the hospital carried a stillness that made Kael’s skin bristle. The overhead lights flickered for a second, and his sharp werewolf senses caught a scent in the air—unmistakable, cold, metallic.Vampires.He halted his steps, his eyes narrowing as a group turned the corner at the far end of the hallway.Three young men and two girls, all cloaked in hooded sweatshirts, walked together in eerie unison, their movements graceful yet unnaturally fluid. The smell of ash, blood, and earth trailed them like a second skin. Kael stiffened, his wolf instincts flaring to the surface.They stopped too. Tension sizzled in the air like a wire about to snap. One of the girls slightly lowered her hoodie, her pale silver eyes meeting Kael’s with quiet curiosity rather than hostility. The other girl exchanged a glance with the boy beside her, a silent conversation happening in a blink.But Kael didn’t miss the subtle shift in their postures—the poised readiness, the alert st

Secrets Behind a Smile –

A week had passed since the accident and the night Kael had seen his daughter teeter on the edge of the world he’d tried so hard to keep her from. He’d tightened his grip on her ever since, hovering like a storm cloud—silent, brooding, protective.But this morning, Ashara’s laughter echoed in the halls like sunlight breaking through a dense fog.Her room was a mess—textbooks, notebooks, hairbrushes, perfumes, and clothes scattered across the bed. She twirled in front of her full-length mirror for the fifth time, adjusting her denim jacket over a pastel green top. Her eyes sparkled with a rare joy as she checked herself from every angle.“Perfect,” she whispered to her reflection, cheeks slightly pink with anticipation.Today was the day.Her first day of college.And more than that—freedom. Her first taste of the life she always imagined, even if she had to walk through a lie to get there.Downstairs, Kael stood in the kitchen, the aroma of freshly made pancakes and eggs filling the a

A Dangerous Smile Behind the Wheel

The Ice Monster purred as Ashara guided it onto the two-lane road that wound through pine-laden hills toward Graymoor University. Twin SUVs—her “security detail”—followed at a respectful distance, but she could still feel their presence like training wheels she hadn’t asked for.Okay, Ash, she told herself, knuckles whitening around the leather wheel. Don’t do anything reckless. One wrong turn and Dad’s going to ground you until you’re forty.She inhaled the new-car scent, half exhilarated, half terrified. Ideas flickered through her mind—speeding ahead to lose the guards, ducking onto an unmarked forestry track, pretending she needed gas at a convenience store and slipping out the back—but each scenario ended with the same vision: Kael’s silent disappointment. That, more than any locked door, kept her in lane.He wants to control me, she thought, the old ache resurfacing. He lost Mom and now he’s afraid of losing me, so every choice I make has to be padded in bubble wrap. She tapped

The Other Side of the River

The air on this side of the river felt different—warmer, wilder, as though the forest itself had exhaled and released her into a place where rules didn’t matter and the world beat with a rhythm she had only ever imagined in dreams. Ashara adjusted her backpack and let her fingers trail over the ivy-covered stone wall that rose beside the gravel path. This was it. Westwood.She had made it.From the moment she slipped out of her own college’s back door, adrenaline had been surging through her. The jungle hadn’t scared her the way it should have. The branches that reached out like claws, the sound of leaves crunching beneath her feet, even the eerie silence between birdcalls—it all made her feel alive. Not trapped. Not watched. Not guarded.Free.The crossing had been easy—too easy. Her friends Amira and Jade were waiting just like they promised, and their reunion had melted the stiffness from Ashara’s shoulders. Together they had climbed into the small wooden rowboat and crossed the ri

The Carlos kids and Aahara

The wind carried a delicate scent—something wild yet innocent, warm like vanilla and fierce like fire. It wasn’t like the usual sting of werewolf musk. It was softer. Sweeter. Almost… unnatural.From the top floor of the college’s towering laboratory building, five pairs of immortal eyes followed the girl below, cloaked in sunlight, unaware that the air trembled with her arrival.“She’s here,” Jasper muttered, pressing his palm against the glass. His storm-grey eyes narrowed, scanning the courtyard where Ashara stood laughing with her human friends. “I can smell her everywhere.”“She’s not like the others,” Erin added, his posture stiff as ever, hands folded behind his back like a soldier in waiting. “No wolf stench. No obvious tells. She walks like a human. Laughs like one. Her aura though… it’s fractured. Too pure for a wolf, too volatile for a human.”Marvina, standing just beside Erin with arms crossed, frowned. Her dark eyes flicked from Ashara to the students swarming the campus

Carlos and the fear of Darke!

The metallic scent of blood filled the air—warm, thick, and human. Under the sharp lights of the sterile surgery room, Carlos moved with calm precision. His gloved hands were steady, his focus absolute. The scalpel in his grasp sliced gently through layers of skin, revealing the damaged tissue beneath, but his face betrayed no flicker of hunger, no sign of thirst.The others in the room had long admired his composure. To them, Dr. Carlos Virelli was a genius, a humanitarian—perhaps even a miracle worker. What they didn’t know was that he had once been a nightmare whispered through centuries. A vampire who had walked away from his bloodthirsty nature, who had spent over a millennium tempering the darkness that ruled his kind.“Forceps,” he said softly.The nurse handed them over, eyes wide in awe at his serene demeanor. The patient, a young man barely twenty, had been rushed in after a car crash. Carlos had already repaired a ruptured artery and was now closing the wound with practiced

The waiting !

The wind howled through the trees lining the riverbank, stirring Kael’s cloak as he stood like a statue on the eastern edge of the border—the invisible line that separated his world from the vampires’. His amber eyes were locked on the misty stretch beyond the rushing waters, where his daughter had unknowingly crossed. His jaw clenched, his fists tight at his sides.She should’ve been back by now.Zev stood beside him, silent but alert. His friends lingered nearby, tension written across their young faces. Even Ranan, Zev’s father, was unusually somber, his arms crossed over his broad chest as he watched Kael pace.Kael’s steps faltered suddenly, his breath catching as he moved toward the water’s edge. One more step, and he’d be violating the sacred pact written generations ago in blood.“Kael, stop.”It was Ranan who moved first, stepping forward to block him. “Don’t be reckless,” he said calmly but firmly.“She’s my daughter!” Kael’s voice cracked. “She’s out there alone—surrounded

The slap!

Carlos opened the passenger door and stepped out first, letting the crisp river wind brush past him. The surrounding trees whispered under the pressure of the breeze, carrying the scent of pine, water, and something more fragile—fear. Ashara remained frozen in her seat, her breath shallow as she clutched the door frame with trembling fingers.She saw them.Across the river, standing in a tight line, was her father, Kael—his expression unreadable but his stance like iron. Zev was beside him, tense, fists clenched at his sides, eyes never leaving her. Behind them stood Ranan, Zev’s father, and a few of Kael’s most trusted friends. All were silent, still as stone, watching.Their gazes weren’t just angry. They were disappointed. Cold.Ashara’s heart plummeted into her stomach.“I can’t…” she whispered, her voice barely audible over the wind. “I can’t go out there.”Carlos glanced toward the group across the river, then back at her. He didn’t press. He simply extended his hand, palm open,

Like a child!

Ashara sat curled in Zev’s arms, her face buried in his chest as her shoulders shook with silent sobs. Zev held her tightly, his chin resting gently on her head, his fingers stroking her back in slow, soothing motions. Around them, Zev’s friends gathered, their usual teasing demeanor replaced with quiet concern. No one said much—what words could possibly undo the pain of a father’s slap or the weight of nearly crossing into death’s grasp?Ashara had walked into a storm, into forbidden land, into the heart of vampire territory—into hell. And somehow, she had come back unharmed. That alone was a miracle.“I’m so sorry,” she whispered, her voice hoarse against Zev’s shirt.“You’re okay now,” Zev murmured, pressing a kiss to the top of her head. “You’re safe. That’s all that matters.”Ranan stood just behind them, arms crossed over his chest, his face unreadable. Even he, strict and loyal as he was, couldn’t bring himself to scold her—not yet. Not when she looked so fragile, like a leaf a
