Novel & Cerita Bete Noire Glitchtale

We were in a dilemma, not knowing which route to follow. Carl joined us, and we released a breath of relief. “The one on the right has scratches along its walls. It’s the only one that looks much used,” said Carl in a low whisper. He was right, and we proceeded towards it. However, the echo of a hushed whisper from the far end immediately alerted us and Carl stopped me from moving forward as I was nearest to him. It seemed we were walking into a trap. Felixe was far ahead and before I could warn him, I saw the flaming figure approaching him. It was that of the most vicious of them all, Gallatin Drupal, Alpha Ambrose’s Beta.

The arrow pointed to the word “HEART." Above it, were a pain of names shinning red. The sight of the names left me motionless. It read “Offenders, MELISSA and GAVIN." My blood ran cold. “What is the punishment for?” I yelled, my voice shaking. “He didn't even respond." The system’s voice deepened. “Silence glitch. Processing penalty..." “Excuse me!" What? who the fuck is a glitch? Me. Like hell, I'm no glitch.

Beads of sweat shone at his hairline. “We are experiencing a temporary systems disruption,” his voice echoed over the barn’s comm speakers. “Unauthorized data releases containing falsified materials are circulating. All packs are advised to disregard—” The feed glitched. For half a second, Crowe’s face was replaced by a freeze‑frame of the auction: a bound Omega on a dais, a scrolling bid ticker beneath. Then Kieran’s overlay snapped back in bold red: > **THIS IS NOT FAKE.** Another window showed a Nightmoor local channel replaying Elowen’s stand outside the barn: her stepping forward, power rolling out, then *stopping* on her word.

It was dusty but remained unharmed. Talia knelt, her gaze fixated on the board. The tiles were not adorned with images but bore intricate, etched symbols—runes. A tingling sensation coursed through her fingertips as she touched them. She carefully placed one of the tiles into position. A distinct "click" echoed in the silence. Her pulse quickened. “Lucian.” He was at her side in an instant, crouching beside her. “Tell me what’s happening.” “This is no game,” she whispered. “It’s a lock.”

I chose to ignore the bad feeling in my stomach and look back at Alex, she still seems to be stressed, so I know there’s more information to come. “Alex...” she gazes up at me and waits “What else was there?” The whole time Ash has been silent, I wonder what is going through his mind but Alex answers before I can ask. “When I reached the bottom of the page, there was a small picture that said enlarge and when I enlarged it, the picture didn’t come up straight away, but same dreadful words come up instead. ‘I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE, AND I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. IT’S NOT GOING TO WORK MA VISTA’S. Then it flickered and more words came up. YOU MAY THINK YOU CAN WIN THIS WAR, BUT YOU ARE POORLY MIS

On Henry’s massive screen, all the flashy charts, dynamic routes, and flowing data vanished instantly. The screen went completely black. The next second, a line of huge, blood-red text appeared in the center. [System Ownership: Sam Miller. Thief, having fun?]

"You do know that... You're the only girl I've ever brought anywhere right?" He said, the strict tone in his voice shocked me momentarily. I closed my eyes and sighed heavily, continuing with my pace in his scalp. "No." I said softly. He was silent for a bit and I didn't want to open my eyes either to see what reaction he would have that I know I was just another notch on his belt. "Hey, looked at me." I opened my eyes slowly, afraid of what I would find in his eyes. Surprisingly, they were full of... I blinked. "Look into my eyes, do you see the eyes of a womanizer?" I did stare at his eyes already, a lot of times. And I have to admit there was nothing there that indicate he was ly

Another leader said and I opened my eyes looking at them. "Lose to Lemiere?" I scoffed coldly and all of their eyes turned to me. "Let the stock go, we're wasting our time having it around and someone update me with the Colorado project." I said coldly. "The base of the construction in Colorado is almost done, Mr. Redent, but there's a little bit of a problem.. actually." I looked at my employee raising my eyebrows. "What's the problem?" "The west side of the building, where the parking lot and a pool are.. Apparently the parking lot side was owned by the Lemiere, Mr. Redent." What?

And why did I feel so scared of him? “Alpha Sight?” He nods, then he raises his hand and elongates his nails. “It’s when an Alpha embeds their claws at the base of someone’s skull to view their memories. Like I said, Cezar wasn’t innocent of anything.” I look at his black claws and watch as they go back to normal before I peer up at Nero again. “Did… Did Cezar do something to me? Is that why you don’t want to tell me?” A pained expression crosses his face, and my heart drops. I don’t want to think about it… in fact, I don’t want to know what that man did to me. If it was something that still stuck with me after all this time, then I am better off not knowing.
