Dark Horse: An Orphan X Novel Novels & Stories

There were actually two people who did this, but one in particular shook my heart especially hard. For most people, I am an ordinary girl whose life has nothing special going on, just another student who makes some extra money after classes in a bar. When someone got to know me a little closer, found out that I was an orphan who lost my parents very early and was looked after by my grandmother from mother's side, who, however, died just before I went to college. From that moment on, I was left all alone and had to cope somehow, working hard to pay for my studies, living and a tiny, cramped apartment, which was quite far from the center of Tokyo, where the bar where I worked and my university

“Forgiveness after betrayal, reuniting with lost love, letting go of guilt. The list goes on, but one that supersedes them all is….REINCARNATION AFTER DEATH!” His claws extended, driving hard across the horse’s gullet in a single swift motion. Blood sprayed his hands and legs as the creature slumped loudly to the ground. Lifeless. My breath hitched and I heard a gasp, only for me to look down and see that the boy was now awake, his eyes wide, horror being the first sight that greeted him. I was quick to run my hand over his eyes, shielding his innocence from the cruelty before us. “Who are you?” Orion asked instinctively, standing straight with his chin held high.

The orphanage was her sanctuary, but it was also a prison where she felt trapped and alone. Her best friend, Cassie, was the only one who understood her. Cassie had been by her side since they were little, and she knew the secrets that Xienma kept hidden. Cassie was the only one who knew about Ana, Xienma's wolf spirit. Ana was a large black wolf who lived inside Xienma, a secret that could get them both killed if anyone found out.

In that stolen moment, the undeniable chemistry between the dark lord and myself was more palpable than ever. His fingers lingered, brushing against my earlobe, sending a shiver down my spine. The intimate touch ignited a fire within me, and without hesitation, our lips met in a passionate kiss. Time seemed to stand still as our connection deepened, a mixture of longing and desire intertwining in the air around us. In that stolen moment, the boundaries of our dangerous reality blurred, leaving only the intoxicating taste of our shared chemistry.

"You will end everything for me. Don't worry I won't kill you ... not yet." "N-No...b-bel." She whimpers, letting her tears flow freely from her eyes. "Who's Nobel?" Dankworth's face became serious. His eyes full of danger and malice. "Tch! I guess I have to do something about that little memory of yours before you pass out on me." Dankworth cupped her face and force her to look into his eyes. She felt her stomach churned as his violet eyes bore into hers. Pure fear swept through her body. It felt as if something tearing through her flesh and pulling her into the depths of ocean. The more she struggles the more she shrinks.

★★★ BLUE MOON PACK ★★★ Damon’s mother, Light, was basking in the peaceful moment as she watched over the pup. He was a sweet little boy, no more than three years old, his tiny body curled up in sleep, his breathing soft and rhythmic. Light’s once troubled eyes, now calmer and filled with a nurturing warmth, softened as she brushed a strand of hair from the pup’s forehead. This child, whom Damon had taken under his wing, had become a light in their lives—a reminder of innocence amidst the darkness they often faced.

I didn't notice Tana had left my hand until I saw her fall to her knee, her head lowered. Only then did I raise my head and saw three men sitting on what looked like thrones. The one in the middle had hair as dark as the night, the other two had golden hair and silver hair respectively. I was suddenly shoved from the back and forced into a kneeling position. I snarled furiously and glared at the person who pushed me. It was the man who came with Tana and me. The man with the dark hair was the first one to speak. “Three days ago, you were found in the woods of Thornwood borders by Lord Byron Wesley of the Shadowborn, during a Hollowborn hunt. You were brought to the Dragon Keep, where we disc

The forest fell away into a small clearing—a natural dip where water pooled in heavy rains, ringed by ferns and thin birch. In its center, sprawled like a discarded pelt, lay a wolf. Full form. Dark fur matted with blood. For a瞬, Orion thought it was just another stray, another casualty of the rogue uprisings. Then the wind shifted. The scent hit him square on. Beneath the iron and rot and fear, under the unfamiliar edges, something old stirred. Cold. Like stone left in shadow. Like damp, enclosed dens.
