Excalibur Stolen Novels & Stories

“But Jimmy boy, I am afraid that you are just not proving worth leaving alive. It is more inconvenient to keep you alive because I know we are going to meet again. Your master will not let you off the hook from going after my betrothed. So, do you have anything else to say? Anything of value to offer in exchange for your life?” Jimmy looked relieved that Stefan knew he could not disobey his master. But his color continued to diminish. “He said the pendant is the key. But the pendant is not the complete story. What was stolen was something far more valuable. We thought once we had the pendant, we could figure out the rest and bring it all home to him. If we could surprise him with it, he woul

Suddenly, a rapid bell rang out across the Sanctuary—the emergency alarm from the forensic wing. "What now?" I hissed. "The Obsidian Exchange," Caleb shouted, checking his comms. "There’s a riot at the auction house. They’re saying a rogue is trying to sell a fragment of the Creation Jade Disc!" "That’s impossible," I said. "Those fragments have been missing for thousands of years." "Liar! You broke your promise!" A man’s scream echoed from the lobby. I turned to see Evan Mercer, my ex, being pinned against the glass doors by a pair of Enforcers. He was disheveled, his face covered in bloodstains.

" The phone buzzed again. I answered, turning away from my wife's face. "Report." "The safehouse is compromised." Lucas Knight's voice, distorted by encryption but recognizable. Thornhart's strategist, his loyal dog. "Your team left traces. Financial records, communication logs, biometric data from the estate breach. We have enough to link the assault to Laurent Maritime executive accounts. Enough for warrants. Enough for extradition." "Then use it," I said. "Why warn me?"

That was her last scream before she vanished into thin air. I blinked in confusion, finding it very easy. "Okay... how could she die so easily?" Alpha Gray ran towards Janice, glancing at the sword. "It's the Excalibur." "The what?" We both asked. "Excalibur is a sword that can slay anything, mortal or magical, living or dead. That was genius." He praised Janice. I smiled in triumph until I felt dizzy and fell on the icy floor.

All of them were silently staring at a tall, wrought-iron display case. It had been completely smashed open. Inside the case sat an empty velvet pedestal. The ancient Callahan Blood-Stone was gone. That priceless, glowing red thing from the old witch war? Poof. It had been stolen right under their noses. Everyone was distracted by my rescue on the highway. My breath caught in my throat as I stared at the empty velvet. The silver-haired guy's words crashed back into my head. Everything suddenly made sense. "Eventually, I’ll let you go. I’m just waiting for the right moment."

"Because I need answers. About the binding stones. About what Gabriel is planning." A bitter smile crossed his bloodied lips. "Always so practical." The wolfsbane was fighting my healing, corrupting the power as fast as I could channel it. Black veins spread across Damien's chest, creeping toward his heart. "The stones," he gasped. "In the eastern vault. Six more. He will use them to drain you completely. Turn your power into a weapon." "Where in the eastern vault?" "Behind the false wall. Left side. Combination is..." He coughed, more blood spilling. "One, seven, three, three. Year the first Alpha Queen disappeared."

The proceeds would fund the survivors' advocacy organization and compensate the families who'd been defrauded. Victor's empire was being converted into reparations. His blood money turned into healing money. The specific kind of irony that makes forensic accountants smile. Blackthorn Holdings was different. Blackthorn was Ezra's. Built from scratch. Nine years of work that started with a twenty-one-year-old with a knife scar and a business plan and became a multi-billion-dollar corporation through legitimate means. Or mostly legitimate. There were gray areas. Connections that had been useful during the corporate war but that carried the kind of ethical ambiguity that kept Dominic's legal tea

Eisha along with others rushed to us. "Bro. Was it successful?", Azor asked, settling his glasses. "What happened, Abraham?", Eisha took a step forward. "Is everything alright?" "Someone messed up with the lockers", Victor scoffed. "What?", Azor blurted out as I remained reactionless on the spot. "Yes. Our material worth billions has been stolen", Angela shrugged. "What the hell", Eisha literally screamed. "I want every single person here", I groaned. "All the guards, all the men, everyone"

* * * * * * * * * * Just like any other day, I get up from my bed. My name is Alex Stones, a billionaire. I own several businesses around the country and even outside the country, so money is not a problem for me. All I want right now, that one thing I want so badly right now, is only Seline. If I manage to get her, my life will be perfect. I will be the happiest and the luckiest man on this planet.

If the Alpha discovered it was him, he would need to flee far away to stay alive. I passed between two ladies wearing tiger fur coats and sparkling necklaces. Alright, think, Eleanor! I wasn’t good at stealing, and this was the first time I was doing it. Rubies are worth about ten thousand dollars each, and small diamonds between twenty and thirty thousand. I just needed something large and adorned with gold. Stealing one big item was better than taking several different pieces; the chance of getting caught would be much higher. The last thief in the palace had both hands cut off by order of the Alpha King. I needed to do this once, and do it well.
