Rose "The rules are simple; the last person standing at the end with the most flags is the winner." Damian plopped a canvas bag down on the ground with a thud. "You can spar. You can steal multiple flags from your opponents. You cannot ask for outside assistance. You cannot knock out your opponents. You can't hide flags. You cannot shift. You are to stay in the forest, do not bring your game into town. At the end of two hours, the game is over."

"I'm not asking you to die for this. I'm asking you to cause chaos for ten minutes. Can you do that?" Gar spoke up for the first time, his accent thick. "Ten minutes of chaos we can do. Getting out after is the problem." * * *

Sienna froze for a moment, then sneered, "Fine, search away! There's no way Callum would take something like that!" Dad nodded to calm the situation. "Alright, then we'll search everyone. Martha, you search Vy. Caleb, you search Mr. Lockwood." The housekeeper, Martha Harper, reached into my pocket. Sienna stared at Martha's hand, a smile already creeping onto her face. The pop-up messages scrolled: [Just admit it quickly, or you'll lose your parents' trust forever.] However, when Martha's hand came out, it was completely empty. "There's... nothing here." Martha looked stunned.

He turned around and stared at me, frozen in place, my face pale. Frowning, he snapped, "Look! Why did you have to keep fighting for it? Take the card and buy a new one tomorrow. "Clean up the shards on the floor so Susan won't get injured." With that, he wrapped his arm around Susan's waist and walked upstairs. Susan leaned against his chest before turning to look at me with a hint of triumph in her eyes. I slowly crouched. The marble floor was icy-cold. I picked up a sharp shard and pressed my fingertip against the edge, letting it pierce through my skin.

I shuddered when he moved his lips in close to my ear and said. “It’s a nine tenths focus, are you focused, Alora?” With a shaky voice, I replied: “Ye…yes.” “Now visualize where you want to stick that dart into.” Instead, I visualized turning around and pulling down his sweatpants, then stick his dick into my mouth. Gosh, I could feel it poking my ass, that got me unbearably hot and bothered. “Have you seen the spot you want to hit?” “Yes…yes.” “Now aim, are you ready?”

“and you step down.” “Do you accept these terms?” Another elder asks. “I do.” My voice carries, steady despite everything. “Then let the trials begin.” The elder gestures to the arena floor. A gate on the opposite side opens. My opponent for the first trial— combat— enters. Garrett. One of the pack's strongest fighters. Mid-thirties, built like a tank, with a wolf that's pure muscle and aggression. They chose well. Someone I could have beaten easily with Nyx. Someone who will destroy me without him.

The warmth of two fires that had learned how close to burn without burning each other. After a while I said, "The southern border is where you are most exposed." Derek's pen slowed. "Why," he said. "The alliance letters both reference coordination," I said. "Which means they are planning something timed. Timed actions target weak points. Blood Moon's southern rotation is the thinnest, I counted the guard intervals from the training ground window on my third day here. Twenty-two minutes between passes at the southern gate." I looked up. "That is long enough for a disciplined unit to move through."

I replied coolly, “I’ve improved it since camp.” Her grin widened, “I can tell.” The host continued, voice crackling with excitement. “Now we enter Round Two, the final showdown! Both players will receive an infected system with a single corrupted file and a ticking destruction timer. The player who restores the file first wins. Ready, set… GO!” This time, there was no delay. I dived in immediately, scanning for the corrupted blocks. The system was a mess, intentionally layered with dummy data and reverse loops, designed to waste time. A nasty setup.

“Sign this agreement. It extends your probation by three months and cuts your pay by forty percent.” Adeline Lancaster, the HR manager, casually filed her nails. She didn’t bother looking up as she rolled her eyes. “Don’t think this company can’t run without you just because you wrote the core architecture. “Tristan Rothwell has taken over all your code. You can pack your things and get out whenever you want.” I stared at her arrogant face and let out a cold chuckle. I had been with the company for three months and written every single line of the core codebase. Yet she had stalled my permanent position approval for over twenty days. She wanted to steal my hard work, cut my hard-earned
