Simon was restless the whole drive, punching numbers into his phone only to be met with dead lines. He pressed the driver to speed up, the car roaring as it raced through a field blooming with flowers. A sea of roses stretched out before them. Roses, he remembered, were my favorite. A memory flashed in Simon's mind. Nine years ago, in the throes of courtship, he would leave a grand bouquet of roses at my door each day. A different hue for every day of the week. He never imagined a time would come when he would lose the chance to send even a single petal.

I think of Lily across the river. Her hand on her belly. Her nod. The distance in her eyes. Draven would call her a vessel if it served him. He’d call me queen if that served him too. Mate. Vessel. Throne. Bloodline. Mother of his future. Pretty names for cages. The ruins rise ahead. Broken columns cut black shapes into the moonlight. Half walls lean inward, draped in vines. Mirror shards hang where windows used to be, fixed into stone with old iron and bone nails. Some catch the sky. Others catch only pieces of me as I pass.

she whispered. She took the blade and cut her palm. Let it drip onto the marble at her feet. The room went still. A vow not spoken — but sealed in blood. Scene Three – The World Kneels Across Europe, the new order was broadcast in encrypted signals: THE WIDOW QUEEN HAS RISEN. THE EMPIRE BOWS. Paris fell in line. Lisbon pledged loyalty. The Dublin Kings sent a throne made from old bones and gold coins. The Vatican… went silent.

Blood was splattered over the flowers and even the grass in the field. Several bodies were leaning against huge, withered or decaying trees. Even the strongest kingdom with the most powerful leaders will succumb to terrible foes who collaborated for the same evil intention. The kingdom of Zecillion was defeated. The tranquil and beautiful garden-like kingdom was destroyed by evil powers. The King's devilish laughter could be heard as he exited the kingdom's enormous gate. He didn't mind the raging fire that was destroying the palace he had entered earlier, burning every nook. He appeared to be a demon calmly walking away from the scorching inferno. As they watched the palace crumble, his fel

In the depths of the flower, there seemed to be a battlefield of fighting. The shouts of war shook the sky, and the smoke of war swept up and rose into the sky. The stars all over the sky were shocked and fell down. Just looking at them was enough to make people tremble. "Emperor Heart Dragon Blood Flower!" Huang Zhen's voice trembled. The Elder of the Ghost Kill Pavilion said, "The quality of this Emperor Heart Dragon Blood Flower is even better than what I promised to Young Master Zhen that day. In order to cultivate such a finished product, the responsible cultivator had caused at least 30 commanderies and Efraxs to fight.

Krister asked, looking at his tablet still before walking to the back room. “Black? She doesn’t-- I mean didn’t wear anything else?” she asked, her eyebrows meeting in the middle confused. “Don’t tell me she’s one of those people…” “Yes, specifically black clothing.

“This isn’t the seventies, Dad. You can’t keep running everything like it’s a damn chessboard.” “Oh, but that’s exactly what it is,” I said smoothly. “Only the pieces have changed. You’ve got digital soldiers now, businessmen pretending to be killers, politicians pretending to be saints. But the board, my boy…” I gestured toward the ocean. “The board never changes.

(Luhan's Pov) Carrying the black rose I returned to the palace. A year ago a bloody war broke out in which a large number of wolves and other vampires were killed in our area. As soon as I entered the big door of the palace I was immediately greeted by the dear queen who was full of concern and with teary eyes.

Unfamiliar. This wasn’t the man whom I married or fell in love with. This was someone else entirely. A lethal, venomous creature whose sole purpose was to bring death and destruction. And he had. The palace had been known for its beauty and long-standing history only for it to become bathed in blood.
