The wind was howling all around me, my hair whipping in every direction, my clothes felt as if something wanted to rip them from my body. The building shook terribly, making small debris of the ceiling fall around. I could hear a terrible sound when buildings outside collapsed, more screaming. I laughed as a madwoman, I could feel the chaos and the despair filling the air. The screams of terror were filling me with contentment. They wanted Apocalypse to go away. Now I will show them to be afraid of me. I’ll teach them not to think little of me. Antone was in a blink of an eye next to me. Holding me tight and was whispering something. I couldn't understand.

Vampires and Lycans never got along, Why? Because of an ancient war that started before you... Before me, before my kind, and now we're the ones left to fight it, carrying on centuries of a hostile blood war. Caught in the middle of it, are pesky humans... beautiful, and cunning creatures, yes, but not the smartest. And pity them, of how they are so oblivious about everything that constantly happens, mysterious animal attacks, unsolved homicides without leads, missing persons report files stacking higher, and still, they turn a blind eye. But... Are they? Blind? I mean the signs are there, evidence surrounding the existence of the supernatural, theories on theories, and they couldn't find th

Ruth ended the call and left Alex and Lee with an astounded expression. “Oh God.” Their minds were about to melt down. Werewolves, vampires, witches—were all real. Alex was reminded of a book he read at Books and Artifact where he works. “Lee, I found a book at Books and Artifact that was about supernatural creatures. I think the name of the book was, um, Wars, Wood Battles, um, I can’t remember.” “You mean The Wood War by Kayla Nicky Chadson?” Ha! The boy jolted in shock as he heard the voice of Abigail behind them. They stared at each other, confused about what to say.

The library was quiet, the afternoon sunlight filtering through the stained-glass windows. Anna sat alone at the far corner, the mysterious book, The Reflection Game, spread open before her. Her finger traced the intricate designs on the yellowed pages, her heart pounding with both excitement and unease. The cryptic instructions whispered to her, their meaning elusive but tantalizingly close. She didn’t understand why she felt so drawn to the book, but she couldn’t let it go. It was as if the book had chosen her, as if it were calling her to uncover its secrets.

Anaiah's POV The next part in our life was one of the hardest, we had to help the werebear rebuild their structures and assure our people that all is well, the war was over but there was still a dread within me, the powers that I unlocked are scary, for starters, I'm officially the fastest runner in the realm and my telekinesis is overpowering, I open portals to other dimensions unknown to us and the low chill that goes on my spine when I'm having dark thoughts is petrifying. I always have to be on guard with my emotions, or I risk unintentionally shattering things around me.

One volume called to her like a whisper against bone: *The Greater Veil: Finer Threads of Dominion* She pulled it free. The book was heavier than the black tome from her father’s library, its cover bound in something that looked like polished shadow-leather, warm to the touch. She opened it carefully. The first pages spoke of layered commands, of weaving intent so precisely that the dead obeyed without resistance, of turning even the strongest-willed undead into extensions of the caster’s will. Raven’s breath caught. She looked up at Victoria. Victoria read the title over her shoulder, then met Raven’s gaze. She squeezed Raven’s hand once—firm, reassuring—and nodded.

“So what do you wanna watch? Maybe you head out by midnight.” I licked my lips, watching the way she sipped her wine. “So... if I said I wanted to watch Aliens, would you be upset?” She raised an eyebrow. “No, I got something better for you, Aliens: The Director’s Cut.” I blinked. “Never seen that.” She looked at me like I’d just admitted I never had pizza. “It’s way better. Has a bunch of scenes, the original cut left out and adds so much to Newt’s backstory. Let me put it on.”

"Hmm, I'm not sure. Perhaps..." My gaze landed on the bookshelf at the end of the room. A sly smile spread across my face. "Ah, yes. I have a task for you." With a swift motion, I upended the bookshelf, sending tomes crashing to the floor. Annora's shriek echoed through the room. "Arrange these books," I commanded, my voice cold. "Alphabetical order, then by size. No breaks. You'll work through the night if necessary." Annora's eyes widened, horror etched on her face.
