A Firelit Room Game Novels & Stories

“I don’t even wanna think about that, he whispered back and continued aloud… let’s just leave her behind and go ahead with the game” They all left her behind like she insisted, Bruno was the last person to leave the area because he wanted to make sure that she was in good situation before joining others. Now, they would have to play the game in singles instead of pairing in twos. “You guys already know the rules of the game, we will spin a bottle, whoever gets spotted by the angle of spin will be the one to seek whereas, the rest hides”, Bruno instructed. “Please, let’s not go too far to avoid one missing”, Ella advised.

When the conversation finally hit a natural turn, Lirvae scrambled off the bed and rummaged through the lower cabinets, pulling out a beautifully carved wooden board game with small, polished gemstone pieces. I didn't even know that was there. “How did you—” "We are playing Wolf's Gambit," she announced, cutting me off and dumping the pieces onto the bed between us. "And don't look at me like that, I know you know how to play. I'm going to destroy you." I chuckled and didn't argue. How hard could it be? For the next two hours, the room was filled with the sharp click of gemstone pieces, competitive groans, and playful arguments over the rules.

I glanced at Liam to ensure he was comfortable, and he nodded. Toralei explained the rules of the game: we would spin the bottle, and whoever it pointed to would pick a card from the box. The card would determine whether the person would be dared or asked a question. Toralei spun the bottle slowly, and my heart raced as I followed its movement. It eventually stopped, pointing directly at me. What terrible luck. "Alright, Jenna," Toralei said, passing me the box. I reache d inside and searched its contents before selecting a piece of paper.

That’s what they thought I was. And maybe they were right. But I wasn’t going down without a fight. I had the cards now. Maybe not the best ones, but they were mine. And I was going to play the hell out of them. But then, the second I stepped into the ballroom, all my fake confidence vanished. It was packed. Loud. Glowing with wealth and danger. The air reeked of perfume and cigars. The laughter was too loud. Too sharp. Every eye turned to me.

he instructed, shuffling the cards once more. As Camden approached, Clayton stopped her. "Nah-uh. We're playing here," he indicated, having moved the game from the coffee table to the floor, closer to the fireplace. "Why?" Camden asked, puzzled by the move. "So it's warmer for you... And so I can see you without a coffee table in the way," Clayton revealed with a sly smile. She couldn't argue with the part about being closer to the fire, so she left it at that and settled down near the flickering flames as she waited for Clayton to finish shuffling the deck.

Blood beading on his lip as he spit at him. "Get back here!" Randy glared at him from the other side of the table, staying put. He stayed on his side, watching his movements with cautious eyes. Jackson stayed guarding the path to the upstairs hall with his body. It felt like a twisted game of tag, one he was sure Randy, Josh and Kaitlyn once played when they were kids. At least, before Randy changed into a prick. "You need to let me through, Jackson, you don't understand," Randy snapped.

Not in my house. I made my way to the game room where I knew the bastard would be. My steps were measured, and deliberate, each one feeding the fire inside me. As I entered, the room fell silent. The men, mid-game of cards and chess, looked up, sensing the storm brewing in my eyes. “Out,” I said, my voice cold and flat. They didn’t need a second warning. Chairs scraped against the floor, and within moments, the room was empty except for him.

he explained, and I had that strong persistent feeling that the games would be nasty. “Ladies, open!” Alpha Axel said, and a curtain was dragged open. There was a little room with a transparent glass wall. There was nothing in the room. “Let's see what Lady Aurora has prepared for you.” Alpha Liam said, and a maid came to direct me to the room. My heart thundered, as I walked in. Heavens, save me. Moon goddess, watch over me. I continued praying, as I turned to face them. “Jake, read out the game for her.” Alpha Axel said, and the third man with them began.

Rachel said, raising her brows. "I take gaming very seriously, and besides I live with destructive humans who couldn't maintain a toy for three days when they were four, now they are all grown up, they will wreck this place before I turn twenty five," Yandel said, inputting the password. The game room was on fire, it was lit with a LED purple light that surrounded the top angle of the walls, there was an xbox 360, a 5D game, glow hockey board, a makeshift basketball half court, it now made a lot of sense why the house was so huge.

I bet you my life that prince Cornelius can't handle me. He grabs my handcuffs and begins to drag me up the stairs as Vincent follows with Tommy, not taking his eyes off Jason until the trap door is shut. They push the front desk over the trap door, like the sick people they are, ensuring that Jason has no way of following us any time soon. "So this was your dumbass plan, it's never gonna work you know.'' As they lead us down the dark alleyway in the direction of the pub. " is that so honey, as I recall it you're the one in handcuffs and don't even bother with your powers, the handcuffs cut off your energy so they won't work."
