Dark Deception: Monsters And Mortals Novels & Stories

He stepped inside, his dark eyes fixed on Luca’s pale, heartbroken face until the glass doors slid shut, carrying him down to the busy, powerful world below. Luca stood alone in the massive, quiet kitchen. The silence rushed back in, heavy and suffocating. Luca wrapped his arms around himself, clutching the thick fabric of his oversized hoodie as another sob broke from his chest. He looked down at the cold marble floor, his body aching, his mind spinning. He had wanted the monster to make him forget the danger of the world outside. But as he stood alone in the sterile penthouse, Luca realized the terrifying truth: the most dangerous thing in his world was the man who held the key to his cage

After all, Ned could only trust this man at the moment. Surveying his surroundings, Ned saw that the forest was dark and gloomy, without a single ray of light. The leaves on the trees were covered with sharp hooks that could pierce anyone who touched them. Ned realized that this was the Dark Forest described in the book. This was the territory of the Dark Elves, who possessed the power of darkness and used it to oppose the light. The man noticed Ned's expression and knew exactly what he was thinking. He had telepathy and spoke first, "The Dark Elves here release dark energy that gradually corrupts the human mind, ultimately leading to a fall into the abyss of darkness."

That was his first thought. All of his properties are heavily protected with CCTV cameras and there will be guards patrolling around all the time. But nothing gives protection like lights and so every nook and corner of his properties are well-lit. The low-life creatures only like the darkness and thrive in it. They cannot stand the light and light repels them. He heard some shouts from that direction and he ran towards the darkness. He saw a couple of the security guards confronting a couple of guys and his lips curved to a smirk noticing their tattoos. Seeing the lights smashed, his blue eyes filled with ruthlessness.

We were barely surviving. But for every monster we felled, five more rose. And then he appeared. Dean. This wasn’t the man who once raised Xavier as his own but a creature of darkness, eyes glowing with malice. He raised his hand, and the monsters stopped in their tracks, turning to face us with a hunger that chilled me to the bone. No longer the beta I once knew, but a creature sculpted in shadow—his body pulsing with corrupted power, his face hidden beneath a dark veil that moved like liquid night. His voice, when he spoke, was not his own.

It shrouded the trees in an eerie silence and chilled their bones with an inexplicable fear. Luna's eyes locked onto Asher's, her expression serious. "Asher, I need to tell you something. Something important." Asher's gaze never wavered, his eyes filled with concern. "What is it, Luna?" Luna took a deep breath before continuing. "The darkness that's been lurking on the edges of our world... it's not just any darkness. It's an ancient evil that's been awakened, and it's been hunting our kind for centuries."

Ace stood alone as the road curved into silence. Behind him, the woods stirred and then they came. Ten wolves. They were dark, fast, and soulless. Their eyes glowed with that same unnatural light he remembered from his days under control. Midnight Mystery wolves. They were noty just simple wolves but Engineered monsters. He didn’t hesitate. Ace shifted. His silver wolf burst forth in a flash of power and fury. His eyes gleamed violet under the rising moon. He met the first wolf mid-leap and slammed him into the dirt with a bone-breaking crunch.

Pitch-black as I've said. Unlike the darkness, give it a candle or a flash of anything bright, it will lead you to the true form of Happiness. Never let yourself be fooled. The Gods and Monsters who live by their shadows, marked by death, traces of blood, munched up flesh and everything terrifying, are the ones you should find. For the real terror could be the one in front of your very own eyes. Shh.

Evie knew that those monsters were familiar on Earth as part of their folklores and legends. “Dark elementals are creatures of the underworld. They are parasites that feed on different things like the shadow lurkers. Those things feed on people’s memories and then take over the host’s body and become a zombie-like existence. If the will of the person infected by it is stronger than normal, he or she will become a monster that feeds on mortals and celestials alike.” Dr. Jensen had an unreadable face most of the time since he was always smiling. This time however, he had a disgusted expression.

Humans are the worst. They fear reaching a tipping point—a point of no return. They have blundered into compound wickedness. They struggle to learn the truth while also coping with their secular prejudices. They can also fall into enormous evil, made worse by their community allegiances. They do stupid things whose dangerous outcomes can never be undone. "Oh fuck! Yeah! Harder, baby, uhhh!"

“So? You didn’t do that! Why would you hide this?” It made no sense to me. “Get in.” With that, he got inside the car and slammed the door behind him, leaving my questions unanswered. “Isn’t the sunset pretty?” Dominic questioned out loud, his eyes looking upwards as he started in complete aw. “I’m more focused on the twenty innocent bodies that were slaughter for god’s know what reason that psychopath has and the fact that their fucking families will never know where the hell they are and will forever remain hopeful that one day they will magically appear on their doorstep when in reality they are long dead. But yeah, the sunset’s pretty.”
