The Glamour Gift settled inside me, warm and dangerous. The library windows rattled. The red moon dimmed. The man's body began to fade into mist. "The gifts have been delivered," he said. "May each heir pay what she owes." "You had your turn in the last life," she said. "This one belongs to me." I looked at my sister and smiled back. Poor Lydia. She still believed the Scholar Gift had made me great. She had no idea what it had taken from me. And she had no idea that every gift from the Blood Ledger came with a bill.

They had one week, a cryptic message, and a missing son. As they stepped into the emergency elevator, Alexander felt a strange, cold presence. He looked back at the ravaged living room, then his eyes snagged on something small, gleaming faintly amidst the scattered debris. It was a single, intricately carved chess piece. A black pawn. Its base was adorned with a tiny, almost imperceptible etching: the same stylized crest of The Genesis Council.

"Angelic, I am not sure about this, but, it was not possible to happen. Sometimes, one way to know the truth behind a mysterious crime was through ghosting. The victim asked for help, it could be visiting someone in his dream or invading his real world. What happend to Anika was mysterious, I had encountered cases where demonic possessions took place. And it was not possible that it could happened." The car was filled with silence, Angelic's mind was over occupied with thoughts and doubts. She does not know what to believe now, yet, all she knew, was she needed to saved her dad and she would risk everything to free him. In the hospital, they asked the book keeper to look for the record of Ma

It has been too long since I opened the door. The drowsiness started to drift and soon I was able to think straight. I have been collecting valuables and various books since childhood. Since every battle. Some of them were relics, I gathered from the fallen alphas who once stood in my path. Others carries much more values as they carry the wisdom of millennia and some powerful spells I stole from Hecate before breaking our paths. I opened the lower most drawer knowing there were only two books, one with titled ‘The book of curses and potions’ and another I was looking for, ‘The book of Dead’. I didn’t open it and put it in my bag before walking out my study.

"When did I ever say I'd pay your debts? You were the one who got greedy, chasing a quick buck. Why should I take the fall for your screw-up?" "You didn't say it? You were the one giving me your word, patting yourself on the chest. You were the one playing the good guy to win me over. And now you're backing out?" "Playing the good guy? You were just trying to get close to me because you thought I was the real heir. The second you found out I wasn't, you ran faster than anyone. Who are you to talk down to me? I don't have money—figure it out yourself."

I felt my grandfather’s eyes linger for quite a bit, before he cleared his throat and began. “Leanna Thorn. You invoked the sacred Lunar trials, using your right as a member of the ruling family, laying your claim to the throne of Alpha,” he started, the air in the hall turning ceremonial. My gaze remained fixated on the ground as I wanted nothing more than to run away. A part of me even wished for that arrogant alpha to show himself and somehow mess things up. I turned to the side, instantly finding his figure in the crowd, but to my disappointment, he just stood silently, watching everything play out with the cold arrogance of a peak predator.

But she could give them strength. After baths and a simple dinner of rare steak and rice, she tucked them into the reinforced bunk beds. Story time was always the same request now. “Tell us about the bad alpha again,” Luka whispered. Aria sat between their beds, voice low. “Once there was a cruel alpha who knotted a girl under the blood moon. He made the whole pack watch while he took her. Then he called her weak and threw her into the night like trash. But the girl didn’t die. She grew claws. She grew shadows. And she raised two little wolves who would one day make him kneel.”

Candlelight flickered across gold-lettered spines. She was reading about divine bloodlines. About children of gods. About power inheritance. About how rare it was for divine traits to show physically. Her blonde hair. Her blue eyes. Her fingers tightened on the page. She looked like him. Not by blood. But enough to make the world assume. Enough to make people see things that weren’t true. The door creaked open. Luke stepped inside, pausing when he saw her. “I didn’t mean to interrupt.” “You’re not,” she said quietly.

The kitchen was completely still. "Howard," she said. "Yes." "What is it called?" A pause. "Victoria named it," he said. "Before she died. She gave me the title along with the instruction to write it." He paused. "She named it in 2008 when she told me about the consortium clause and what she had done to protect you from it." He paused. "She said: call it The Ashford Inheritance. She said: because the inheritance is not the money and it is not the empire and it is not even the building. The inheritance is the story. The full story. Written so it can be read. Written so my granddaughter understands what she comes from and what she survived and what she built." He paused. "She said, that is the

A fragment of family, of meaning. But what she found was far more than origin—it was inheritance. Legacy. Magic. And the bone-deep weight of a buried war that had never truly ended. With trembling hands, she returned the Book of Beasts to its pedestal, feeling its reluctant parting like a thread being severed. Dust still veiled most of the archive; time itself seemed to hang in layers across every forgotten tome and crumbling scroll. The silence wasn’t absence—it was memory. Dense. Watching.
