– he asked in disbelief. "You reverse the roles here, scum" – I looked into his eyes hard, then pushed myself from where I was standing, behind him. I deliberately failed to mention, what was in the syringes. One of them was wolfsbane, the world’s most powerful poison for werewolves. The other one… well, if I was failing to recognize my enemy by scent, what would only happen three times in my entire life, I would always use Veritaserum. "You better tell me, what your pack is hiding" – I smiled menacingly.

Without his beast, he would have died. That day when the pain subsided, he realized he had shifted. The transformation had healed him and the beast roared into the night. In the distance, he heard the footsteps approaching. The beast retreated to his skin without warning and he had been butt naked, shivering and covered with dirt and blood.

As he thought about his past, realization dawned.

The Black Beast, Lycaon, stood triumphant over the fallen forms of Rey, Lucius, and Luna. Lycaon's eyes, shrouded in darkness, met Deucalion's gaze. "Deucalion, What have you been scheming, old ally?" Lycaon's voice echoed through the chamber. Deucalion, ever evasive, replied, "I follow the path that ensures my survival. You should know better than to question me." Lycaon, with a sinister chuckle, countered, "There's no need for deception, Deucalion. I can read the shadows within your mind. Your ambitions are laid bare to me."

he sounded doubtful, and I knew I had to be confident so he would believe me. “I am!” The dark mist that hovered his eyes made me almost positive that he knew I was lying. Of course, I lied. I did saw Verity somewhere in the shelves, but I was done reading it back home. He tilted his head, giving me his full attention this time. I’m glad I grabbed sunglasses. This way, he wouldn’t be able to see through my eyes and I wouldn’t be so transparent to him. “What do you think about Verity’s letter, then? Do you think she’s telling the truth that all she had written in the novel were all lies?”

“What nonsense is this? The Light of Acme? Unlocking one’s potential? Where did you learn this nonsense, kid?” “Is that not the truth?” James returned the question. “Of course not,” The bird said. James asked, “In that case, what is the Light of Acme?” The bird extended its claws and scratched its chin. After some contemplation, it said, “The Light of Acme that you described does exist. The residual power of some dead Acmeans will transform into beams of light. However, the Light of Acme has no positive effects on any living being. In fact, the Light of Acme can also be called the Light of Death. Once contaminated by the light, a living being would die. That's because no known power can effe

The words of the seven sages, including Dark Sage, led Adrian to completely misjudge the situation of this world, believing that an incredibly terrifying existence lay beyond. It now seemed that Dark Sage and the others had either lied or had been deceived themselves. The motives behind those who deceived them were worth considering. Adrian and Lexie investigated this issue. However, as the youngest among the seven sages, Lexie was not well-versed in the knowledge Dark Sage shared, which was supposedly passed down through generations within a faction.

Chapter 48: Veil of Deception The air was thick with tension as I stepped into the dimly lit room, my heart pounding in my chest. The events of the past few weeks had unraveled the comfortable illusion I once had of my life, revealing a web of lies and deceit that I never could have imagined. The truth had become elusive, hidden beneath a veil of deception, and it was up to me to unravel the tangled threads and find my way out of this labyrinth. As I cautiously surveyed the room, I couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding. The walls seemed to whisper secrets, and the shadows danced with a haunting rhythm. It was here, in this clandestine meeting place, that I hoped to find the answers I

His eyes narrowed till I couldn't see the whites of his eyes, "I don't trust you and I know you're not who you're pretending to be. But don't worry, angel, I won't embarrass you by divorcing you. The only way you are leaving this marriage is in a body bag." Of all the threats I'd received that day, his was the one that made my body tremble. It wasn't a threat given in anger or with purpose. It was simply a statement of fact. I would be a fool to think of betraying Roman with his words hanging over me like a cloud of doom. Unfortunately, I was already betraying him by impersonating the real Sofia and I would have no choice but to play Russo's game to hide Sofia's betrayal. This was really the

“So… did she win?” “Yes, for a time, she believed she had won,” the Sage said. “But immortality isn’t for the living; it was a facade. The souls she took began to hollow her from within.
