Arcane Visual Novels & Stories

Besides, Alpha had clearly instructed him to not do anything that would waste time and make Alana refuse to help us. Suddenly the air shifts and fear momentarily enters Alana’s eyes. AAh…the power of the Trueblood aura! “Alpha.” Alana greets the Alpha of the Blue Orchid pack in a raspy voice. Alpha Azraiel nods at her and asks, “State your name and purpose for being here.” “My name is Alana Seashore and I am a witch. I have information that might be useful for you.” “Hmmm” Azraiel hums with a neutral face.

Others tapped their fingers, glanced sideways, or simply stared ahead like soldiers awaiting orders. The room didn't feel like a classroom. It felt like a cage of predators told to act civilized. Professor Viorell stood at the front, still twirling his chalk with idle flair.

That makes sense.

So, I guess we are still there. It took me a couple of minutes to realize the door was still open, and someone was still there. With a lazy movement, I turned back around, and my eyes landed on Arcane. Leaning against the door frame, with his hands crossed over his chest, his eyes raked over my exposed back and butt with a wide grin. Without letting that grin disappear, he combed through his beard with one hand and straightened up. “Oh, man! This will be fun! Haven’t seen Hades stumble around like this before!”
