Icarus Deception Novels & Stories

“But it will catch him off guard. He will come with his top fighters, not his full army. He’ll think we are surrendering. That’s when we kill him.” Elric shook his head, afraid of where this was going now that it had been voiced out loud. “Too dangerous. Too many lives will be lost if it doesn't work.” “And only if we kill Salvatore,” Miran continued, “the rest of his army will fall apart.” They all turned to look at me. I leaned back in my chair thinking. There was something wrong with every one of them. The plans were still terrible. Elric's trap at the east gate was strong, but he knew it for a certainty no wolf would enter.

To everyone out there that were abandoned. Isa's Pov I never thought that I would return to Icarus Falls. I can't believe I once lived here. It brings back so many bad memories. Isa sniffled as she remembers the first day she arrived in Icarus Falls. Flashback

She still cursed herself for what she’d done at the gala. A notification blinked on her screen, pulling her back. A failed report. A minor technical error, on the surface—but Emma knew better. In her world, there were no innocent mistakes. She instantly recognized the employee’s name: the same one who, unknowingly, had become the key to sabotaging the M&S–Carter deal. The same one whose negligence had opened the perfect breach for her to make her move. Now, as executive secretary to the president, it was her role to address the failure. Speak to him. Maintain the facade. She couldn’t reveal her hand. Not yet.

He looked straight up at the ceiling, right into the heart of the vision. "Sera," he whispered. His voice was no louder than a breath, but it echoed through the Hall of Stars as if he knew I was watching from the top of the mountain. "I can feel the heat. Wake up... little spark." The vision snapped shut. I was back on the ice, my hands glowing with a violet light so bright it blinded the Ancients. Marcus was the key. He was the reason Alexei was a traitor, and he was being drained for the very power I was standing on.

Each word Arthur uttered was like a knife stab to my heart, the pain was excruciating, so I clenched my chest and struggled to breathe, Arthur was worried, but he refrained from moving closer, he gave the space I needed, it took a few minutes for me to summon enough courage and strength to endure the pain. When I was fit, I signalled for Arthur to play what was left of the shattering audio, but he refused and tried to convince me to let it go, but I was adamant, I needed to know just how much Kelvin had lied to and betrayed me. Arthur grudgingly played the audio. “Have you made the necessary preparations?” “Yes, I have, Iris would never suspect a thing.” “Are you sure?” “Yes, I managed to de

"Tell me— why would Adrian want to kill Marcus? It was you he hated. So why should he want to kill Marcus, the man he loves? Think, Laim." My mind races. At first, I assume Deception is just trying to mess with my head, trying to plant doubt. But something about his words sticks with me. I try to shake it off. "I know it was me he wanted to kill. But he shot Marcus by mistake," I say firmly. Deception grins at my words. "Come again. By what again?" he presses. I frown but repeat myself. "He shot Marcus by mistake." And then Deception laughs. A deep, knowing laugh. "Mistakes don’t happen unless the celestial beings in charge of them allow it," he says, his eyes gleaming with amusement.

Dance with the Devil is a song by Immortal Technique that I once heard. After dancing with a rumored devil in the flesh, I don't know why I can still recall these songs. Nicholas is a peculiar and mysterious individual. When I questioned him about our relationship, he replied, "I'll show you." Shortly after, he had my legs spread wide and had his cookie all to himself while I was resting on my back. I keep wondering just what that particular moment meant. Am I just a gullible young woman who just abandoned herself to a stranger? Love is supposedly blind, but I don't believe it to be more blind than I am. If a blind man can accurately play piano notes. I ponder how I can't notice the danger r

she whispered, pointing it out. Elara knelt to inspect, her fingers tracing the intricate design. "It's like the serpent has faced this trial before... and failed." Darius, his hand hovering over the rose, hesitated. "So, if we choose incorrectly, we'll be trapped in this cycle forever, doomed to repeat the trial for eternity." Cassandra's eyes widened in realization. "The Keeper said one will deceive and the other will sacrifice. What if the deception is that there's a right choice at all? What if the real trial is breaking the cycle itself?"

Kronos gritted his teeth as he listened to Icarus' breathing, and the flames hungrily devour his village. "Icarus listen, you're going to be alright. Just stay with me." “ Goodbye...Kronos. I'll see you...in Takira." Icarus said before his eyes went lifeless, and his chest stopped. "Icarus? Icarus?!" Kronos shouted, tears forming in his silver eyes. No response came from the boy's body. Kronos's tears began to fall as he gently set the child down and closed Icarus' eyes. So...the Ishtar Dynasty has betrayed us, have they ? They'll rue this day. He looked down at the body and placed the small figurine in the boy's hand.

I took a step away from him. Why had it taken me so long to realize he could do that? That was how he tricked me into accepting his offer. That’s how he got into my head. “Well then,” Icarus said, turning away, “I’ll tell the council what you’ve decided.” Just like that, he vanished into the night. A whisper in the wind. Leaving me to deal with the mess I’d created. I stood frozen, angry at myself, for being careless, for not reading between the lines. How could I have signed away my life like that? And to a man who didn’t fear the council. A man without guilt. Another Alpha who despised me.
