Novel & Cerita Candor Faction

My voice betrayed me before I could stop it. Reynolds slowly turned, his eyes locking on me for a fraction of a second. “Hmm, it seems someone has been paying attention to history ,” he said. Then he straightened, his tone cold but approving. “Applaud her, everyone. Perhaps a higher post might be warranted for her commitment.” I forced a smile, my hands tightening against the desk edge. He faced the crew again. “So, where was I? Ah, yes. The heir to the Black Heart is Ethan Cross. He didn’t just take over his father’s empire… he surpassed it. He brought in the biker group, Addiction—Steel and Sin.

“There’s a difference.” Ryker leans closer, his voice a low rumble. “They’re already redrawing borders, Jake. I saw the drafts, three factions; North, eastern cliffs, and the lowlands. All calling themselves temporary authority until the 'Source' is secured.” I let out a slow breath. “Temporary is just permanent that hasn't been admitted yet.” A younger councilman scoffs. “You expect us to leave power unclaimed.” “I expect you to stop treating a child like a resource,” I reply.

To put it simply, The Light Council is the most powerful faction in the world. "You've probably noticed that I've taken control of some of the beasts, but rest assured, I mean no harm. I'm here to save you."

The boy whispered that time. Caden didn't know exactly what time it was when he left the library but he could tell that he'd been there longer than he had intended to stay. He made his way back to Emett and his dorm. Speaking of the older, he wondered what he'd been doing for the past... however long he'd been in the library. Upon reaching the courtyard, Caden could see a lot more different species. He guessed the reason was that it was darker than earlier. The main two species he could see were vampires and werewolves. Of course nowhere near each other.

Cindy's POV I boarded the bus that was going to take me back home from my graduation which I had just attended all by myself. I know I should feel sad but I'm surprisingly not, because I know my mum would have loved to be there but she unfortunately couldn't make it since she had been busy preparing the house for the arrival of the Smith's which was fast approaching, I heard they were coming back in two day's time. Anyways I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Cindy Mensah, I'm eighteen and I live with my mum… if you could even call it that. What I meant is, my mum and I live together in the servant quarters of the Smith family.

Thank you so much for reading thus far! Dorin and the rest of the gang will be back in Phasma Phase 5 :D . The faces in the dark have all been unmasked, and the secretive Erian aka Elazar Ravante the Silver Tongue has gone to gods know where. Dorin, on the other hand, is much too busy having fun in the university to bother about such things. After all, there's so much he wants to learrn, even when he gets stuck inside the walled city during summer while his friends go home to visit their families.

But it wasn’t loyalty that filled the air—it was rivalry, thick and suffocating. Three factions had gathered, though no one spoke the names aloud. 1. The Loyalists: Wolves who still bent knee to Lucien, though fear crept in behind their loyalty. 2. The Opportunists: Heirs and lieutenants who sniffed weakness in the Alpha’s trial and longed for the seat of power themselves. 3. The Outsiders: Envoys from allied packs, pretending diplomacy while plotting how to fracture the estate’s dominance from within. Zaria felt their eyes as keenly as blades. Some looked at her with disdain, others with curiosity, a few with hunger that made her stomach churn.

Mary cut in, raising an eyebrow. "Em, when's the last time you did anything fun?" I opened my mouth to argue, but the words died on my lips. When was the last time? Between the endless reports, the late nights, and the constant pressure to prove myself in a sea of male engineers, fun had become a foreign concept. "That's what I thought," Mary said, her voice softening. "Come on, there's this new club opening tonight. Club Enigma. Very exclusive, very mysterious. I managed to snag us some tickets."

Andrea was talking about something I couldn't understand, because my mind was occupied by questions. Werewolves are wearing black and golden yellow suits; Dhampirs are wearing gray-faded suits. "Newbies, please go up." We went up to the stage one after the other. The leaders of the factions stood at the front of their group, as if waiting for who would join their group. "When we call your name, select the faction based on the results of your test." "What about you?" I heard Andrea ask a question that I was unable to answer. "Andrea Algort," Andrea walked towards the pureblood faction.

“Yes but Cathy found a loophole. As a member of council descended from Alpha Blood you can participate. It’s your choice. You keep your council position as well.” “We have sixteen participants one of whom is Fred.” I run my hand through my hair. “I want to talk to Fred.” “Yes sir,” Zander bows. I throw a crumbled paper at him. “Bow to me when we are alone again and I’ll behead you for the fun of it!” I snarl. Zander laughs. “Chill kid!” There’s my cousin. “When do you go back to Black Hills?” I ask. He still has some Beta duties.
