2nd Quarter Quell Novels & Stories

she felt her heart sink into her stomach, how could he do this to her not only was he ending the relationship, but he had also been seeing someone else during their relationship. The question that hit her was for how long had he been cheating on her and she was there being the loyal girlfriend. How stupid was she to think she would be loved by a man like Howard? But she'd rather keep that to herself than ask him and get her heart even more broken. Seeing his name at the entrance of that company and also over and over again while she moved around the place and did her interview only made memories from that day hunt her.

Isaac's laptop sat on the desk, and its screen was still on, with chatting app open. I had no intention of checking his private messages, but the steady stream of notifications caught my eye. The group chat was titled "Lilith Fan Club". "Lilith's flight lands tomorrow. The day after, we'll use Mr. Cooper's birthday as an excuse to throw her a welcome party!" "The place is already set up.

Gives me a front-row seat to how wild you really get now. Bigger. Stronger. Rougher. Definitely not complaining about the upgrades." Hawk climbed onto the bed. "You're playing a dangerous game teasing me like this." Quill smirked. "Good. I hate safe ones." Hawk grabbed both their cocks and stroked them together until they both shuddered. He growled again and sank his teeth into Quill's shoulder, marking him again. Quill hissed at the sting, then arched into it.

Shadows leaned over lamp posts like watchers. Tunde walked in silence. The air felt different here — still, but aware. He passed a dented vendor stall. An old man watched him go, then turned away. A scavenger child whispered something and ducked behind a cart. That was when they stepped out. Two Citadel enforcers. Matte-black armor. Silent. Smooth. They didn’t hum. They didn’t threaten. They simply… arrived. Tunde stopped. One raised a scanner. ID Confirmed. RU-Q3A-1120. Theta Protocol: Passive Retrieval.

Without the halberd, there was no longer a need for Jessica, a mid-range attacker, to be wary. Running to the retreat point, Zen panted and administered self-recovery. Monitoring the boss’ health, he told the magicians to move to phase two as damage dealers. With the key safely retrieved, it was time to finish it.

Despite Maveth, Matilde, Yorick, and Wilvalor's interventions, these few prominent figures were unable to defend Qhuv. Now, Qhuv had been eliminated. The arena had progressed to the second level as well. After a round of battle, their crystals all showed signs of depletion. Even though the depletion was not severe, at this rate, they would be eliminated very soon. “What should we do?”

But then the whistle sounds, and they stop for the elder to announce Lenny got the point. They both get up on their feet and nod their heads respectfully, and begin to circle each other again. Lenny attacks this time, and a series of kicks and hits a made between the two warriors until Sean finds an opening and gets his second point. Now he only needs one more point, and Lenny seems to realize the same thing because he shifts into his wolf, which is allowed in this final fight.

Howard's voice was calm, almost detached. With a heavy exhale, Quell's eyes hardened. He swiftly turned the blade on his own left arm. The arm hit the ground with a heavy thud, blood gushing out like a fountain. "My lord!" The ten Imperial Guards shouted, shocked. "Please... Master Howard... Show mercy!"
