Excalibur Stolen Novels & Stories

“And you reek of claiming, Kalen.” Silence. Then she says, “Who did you bring back with you?” I consider lying. It would be easy, for one or two seconds, and then she would see through me and probably stab me with a sedative. “Lyla,” I say. “Blackwood’s heir.” Cassie’s exhale is sharp, almost a hiss. “What the hell is wrong with you?” I almost laugh, but the sound sticks. “Do you want a list, or just the top three?”

Carmen played with her hair as she circled around him. “She is mine,” he hissed. “Cronous stole her.” “And he’ll keep her forever unless you change your strategy, Clyde. Brute force clearly isn't working for you,” Carmen said, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. She stepped closer, her eyes gleaming with malice.

Now, it no longer belonged to me. Before leaving, I called my lawyer. “Mr. Lane, has everything been arranged?” “Yes, Ms. Rivers. The funds have been transferred to your account. Your passport is ready, and the property in Swizor has been secured. Everything is in order.” I nodded, feeling a strange peace settle in my chest. “All right. Thank you. I’m leaving now.” The moment I ended the call, I saw a news headline flashing across my phone screen. [Mafia boss Zayn Levine is a total hen-pecked husband!]

/-RAVEN-/ Declan was furious. Furious enough to keep everyone under the heavy rain. The courtyard wasn't exactly large and the palace had a lot of workers. Luckily, Francesca and I managed to squeeze ourselves under the roof. “I am only going to ask this once and after that, there will be no form of mercy. If you have the royal emblem and the Luna's eclipse stone, kindly surrender them now,” Declan's voice cut through the rain. So this thief didn't just take the emblem but the eclipse stone as well? Whoever ever did it either had a death wish or was just plain stupid.

he teased, once we were outside. “It’s none of your business. Next time, you better knock before coming in. Now, tell me, what was so urgent that you had to barge in like that?” I asked. “We went to the treasury, and it was discovered that some of our artefacts and precious stones have been stolen,” Roman stated. I stopped right in my tracks. There wasn’t any moment of peace for me since I became the new Alpha King, but I was determined to find out who the thief was, little did I know that I was in for the biggest heartbreak of my life.

Alex said. Five minutes later, Darven answered Anna’s question. In last year’s major historical relic theft incident involving a national treasure that mustn’t be lost, Anna’s question was that if Darven was one of those involved. Now that the treasure was missing, where was it? Darven confessed and gave out two names. The two names he mentioned almost had Alex jump from his seat. They were William Rockefeller and Susan Hunter! Anna also knew Alex’s father was named William, but she never thought that Darven would mention his name. So, she hurriedly asked, “Which William and Susan? Tell us in more detail.”

He said urgently, "Sir, the safe containing the Blackstar Crystal has been stolen!" Ezekiel's brow furrowed as he demanded, "What did you just say? Stolen?"

"There are always rumors in our world, Shawn. You know that." Lies, lies and lies. I keep on lying, hoping that these lies would help me save my heart from breaking to pieces, that these lies would help me save the life I have built over the past few months. He leaned closer, his voice little more than a hushed confession. "The Dresden Green Diamond, Zyra. A prize that was stolen from our very own Black Market Auction. Quite the audacious move, don't you think?" Sweat started forming on my body, the fear of loosing everything I have just got, engulfed me.

"By the time anyone traced it, it was gone. The investors blamed me for embezzlement and my family believed them because… of course, I had a reputation. That's when they cut me off, exiled from the business, and Marcus stepped in to salvage what he could." Cassie looked at the signature on the document. She was still a bit confused. "But it wasn't you?” she asked quietly. "No." Dom took the phone back, showed her his signature and then zoomed in on the signature in the first folder. "Look at the capital H in Hale. See that little stroke at the top?" Cassie squinted, surfed back to his real signature and back. There was indeed a tiny extra mark, barely visible.

Another dead end. A snarl rumbled in my throat. "Summon the guards stationed here during the time of the theft," I ordered Kai darkly. "I will have answers, one way or another." Soon the two guards knelt trembling before me. I studied them coldly, weighing their guilt. The older one reeked of fear, while the younger man seemed merely confused. Interesting. "You will tell me plainly how this sacred relic was stolen from under your watch," I began, voice deceptively calm. They both shook their heads vehemently.
