30 Word Flash Fiction

Lumaki si Celestine Navarro sa bahay na kailanman ay hindi naging tahanan. Sa ilalim ng pang-aapi ng kanyang madrasta na si Margarita at ng maldita niyang stepsister na si Veronica, natutunan niyang maging matatag, tahimik, pero palaban. Isang araw, bigla siyang pinapirma sa isang arranged marriage contract—isang kasal na hindi niya maintindihan. Wala siyang ideya kung sino ang lalaki sa papel, at tanging sinabi lang ng abogado ay: “Mas gusto niyang manatiling pribado. Pero simula ngayon, nasa ilalim ka ng kanyang proteksyon.” Ang lalaking iyon ay si Adrian Cruz—isang malamig, makapangyarihang Bilyonaryo at CEO sa isang malaking kumpanya na sanay makuha ang gusto niya. Sa harap ng mundo, isa siyang taong walang emosyon at walang kahinaan. Ngunit sa likod ng kanyang katahimikan, may lihim siyang dahilan: minsan niyang nasaksihan kung paanong hinamak si Celestine ng sarili nitong pamilya. At mula noon, hindi na siya mapalagay. Tahimik niyang inayos ang kasunduan ng kasal—isang paraan para masiguro na walang sinumang makakasakit kay Celestine muli. Habang patuloy siyang binabastos at minamaliit ng mga Navarro, patago namang nakamasid sa kanya ang lalaking handang ipaglaban siya… kahit hindi pa niya kilala. Hanggang isang gabi, nakatanggap siya ng mensahe mula sa hindi kilalang numero: “Hindi mo na kailangang harapin sila mag-isa.” —A.C. Hindi niya alam, ang lalaking iyon ay ang mismong asawa niyang hindi pa niya nakikita—ang lalaking tahimik pero mapanganib magmahal. At kapag dumating ang araw na mabunyag ang katotohanan, malalaman ng lahat… na ang babaeng minamaliit nila ay asawa ng pinakamakapangyarihang lalaki sa lungsod.

I wake up to find the entire room shrouded in thick smoke and flames. I grab my phone and call my boyfriend, a fire captain I've been dating for five years. The phone rings seven whole times before he finally picks up. His sharp, irate voice comes through before I can get a word out. "Bella! How many times have I told you not to make false fire reports out of jealousy! You're a Warrior. Don't you feel ashamed of yourself for constantly picking fights with an Omega like Laura?" Suddenly, I hear Laura Knapp's sweet, pitiful voice on the line. "Thank you, Daniel. I'm safe because of you." As the flames spread, I have no option but to dial the emergency hotline. But the dispatcher tells me, "Sorry, ma'am, but all firefighters in your area are currently tied up. The earliest we can send help is in 30 minutes. Please hold on." I hang up with a bitter smile and see the news of a fire captain rescuing an injured pregnant woman. The flames close in around me, and just before death takes me, I send Daniel Ingram one last text. "Farewell. I wish you a happy life together."

When Dr. Elara Voss signs a blood pact with the reclusive Wolf King to save her brother from Lycanthropy, she expects a clinical transaction—not the scorching bond that sears her veins under the full moon. The terms are simple: one year of her life to bear his hybrid heir, in exchange for the serum that will cure her brother. But the Wolf King’s golden gaze holds shadows older than the forest, and his touch awakens a primal hunger she never knew existed. With each lunar cycle, Elara’s body betrays her. Her senses sharpen to inhuman levels, her skin hums at his proximity, and her dreams spiral into vivid, forbidden fantasies. Yet the closer she gets to the King, the clearer it becomes that their pact is no ordinary contract. It’s a trap—one that binds her soul to his, and forces her to confront the truth: the serum she needs might not exist. As the pack’s ancient enemies close in, Elara must navigate a world of shifting loyalties, where every ally hides a fanged secret and the line between predator and prey blurs. When the King’s true motives emerge—along with a curse that could destroy them both—Elara must decide: is she a prisoner of her own desperation… or the key to breaking a thousand-year-old chain of bloodshed?
