Beneath A Scarlet Sky Novels & Stories

He shifted his gaze to the others present, revealing an unprecedented fierceness in his eyes. Faced with his hostility, the crowd immediately raised their guard. Their eyes gleamed with a chilling light as they gripped their weapons tightly. They didn't dare to slack off in front of this person. However, the Scarlet Harbinger's strength was strong. They were uncertain whether they could handle him. "Go to hell!" the Scarlet Harbinger roared. A formidable force, a blood-like waterfall, surged toward the crowd. The Scarlet Harbinger was displaying his full power. The blood-colored aura became increasingly powerful, reaching a point where it seemed to cover the sky.

He got interrupted by a tug on his arm. My breath got stuck in my throat for a fraction of a second as soon as the giant figure appeared in front of me, making me look like an ant. "Yes?" The Scar face asked while hovering over me. Actually he didn't hover over me but he was too tall so I had to crook my neck fully up to see him. I've never seen such a tall guy in my whole life. This is called extraordinary tall. "Why did you send your men to my boutique?" I asked and he kept looking down at me with his blank eyes. He is always like this. Emotionless, maybe because he is heartless.

The brunette had the urge to scream her feelings out, but it would be mortifying if someone would actually hear her. Annabelle looked around, searching for something to hide herself. She saw a pile of large rocks at a distance, so she headed towards it, running. The woman gasped for air when she reached the destination. She placed herself on the broader part of it and turned over. Facing the sunrise, she noted the sky was painted with gradient hues of orange and blue. It was breathtaking adding up the sorrows she was feeling, and with that she gathered all

She became part of the casualties, one less problem on their ledgers. She clawed her way out from under the rubble, nails bloody, left shoulder hanging wrong. Two fingers bent sideways—she nearly gagged at the sight. She didn’t cry. She dragged herself clear of the wreck, crawled through a hole in the burning wall, and collapsed in the icy mud behind the kitchens. Dawn crept over the sky in violet and gold. Pretty, if you like that sort of thing. She hated it. She hated that it never changed, that the beauty meant nothing whether she’d been the clan’s prize or disgrace. Hated the stars for not even pretending to care. Hated her own lungs for gasping, her heart for beating stubbornly on.

"They’re burning the city to save it, B! We gotta get to the uplink!" "It’s not in the city anymore, I told you!" Dante’s voice was a jagged rasp. He grabbed the last soldier by the throat and threw him through a brick wall. He turned to her, his eyes pitch black, his chest heaving. "The sky. It’s coming from the sky." "We can't hide in the open! Move!" They sprinted through the ruins of Oakhaven. The smell of burning rubber and ozone was thick enough to taste. Another orbital streak lit the sky, a white-hot needle of light that struck the bay. The shockwave knocked Bianca sideways.

A recognition that lived below thought. The woman's eyes opened fully. Crimson. Not human. Deep glowing red lit from somewhere inside, burning steady and old and alive. Tyra stepped back. "Who are you." "You already know," the woman said. Her voice was warm and cracked at the edges like something that had been through fire and come out the other side. She moved forward, each step soundless on the black soil. Her crimson eyes moved over Tyra's face with a desperation that was almost physical. Like someone who had been kept from something for so long that seeing it again hurt. "You have always known."

Chapter 6 Scarlett POV On our drive back to the packhouse, I mind link Cayden to let him know that I’m on my way back and that Raul will be staying the night so that he can also meet with Bruno and my parents in the morning. I then mind link Aurora, the pack’s Head Omega, to let her know that Raul will be spending the night and to please make up a room for him on the Alpha floor. I know good and damn well that Raul will be sleeping in my suite with me—and frankly, Aurora probably knows it, too—but this way we can at least make it look that everything is platonic.

The wind howled like a wounded beast as the chopper sliced through the night sky, cutting above the storm-drenched landscape of Eastern Europe. Below, the mountains loomed cold, silent witnesses to secrets long buried beneath the earth. Inside the aircraft, Scarlett sat strapped in her harness, her face hidden behind a black tactical helmet. Her fingers were gloved but trembling slightly, not from fear but from memory. Each mile they crossed dragged her closer to a past she had tried to bury. Sebastian sat across from her, his gaze locked on her through the dim cabin light. Damien checked their weapons, speaking into the comms with their pilot, issuing clearance codes that only a ghost opera

His tall figure cut through the air like a blade, and his voice carried easily as he grabbed the mic. “We all know this is what you came for,” Jayson said, smirking slightly. His eyes swept across the crowd like he was already picking out winners and losers. “Tonight’s game is simple: one Alpha, one skilled hunter, and one… let's just say, underdog.” There were a few scattered laughs and a lot of tense silence. I couldn’t tell if Jayson was trying to be clever or if there was something else behind his words. “The moon above us tonight is no ordinary moon,” he went on, his tone darker now. “It’s the Blood Moon. And under its light, the forest changes. The shadows twist. And the prey... is unl

Wayne replied. Instinctively, Scarlett glanced up at the sky. Tonight—there really were stars. The clear night sky was dotted with countless stars, bright and twinkling... But... "How did you see them?" Scarlett asked, puzzled. Wayne had been sitting in the car with the windows closed. Did he have X-ray vision? Scarlett thought to herself, Does he even think before he lies? She took out the medicine in her hand and waved it in front of Wayne. "Your secretary brought this over."
