Novel & Cerita Imperium Ascendant: Redux

He slowly lifted his hand and wiped away the tears on my eyes and cheeks. “He was here when I first woke up. He was talking to me, and I heard everything he said. He wanted to ask for permission if he can love you. It was pathetic, really- to ask me for permission like I had the right, but he respected me. He respected what we had and he had no intention of breaking us apart, but I saw how genuine he was. I saw how he can love you in my place without having to sacrifice your title or your future,” he said. I knew it. He wanted me to stay as a princess, to rule Rinovea. It was the future built for me the moment my heart started beating.

I was at a loss for words with what he just said. It was not because Julian had indeed probably sold me to him but the fact that he actually had the audacity to place a cheap value on me. As an immortal, no amount of human money or wealth could ever buy me. The shamelessness of this man was astonishingly annoying. He may be a man whose good looks could turn the heads of women and whose voice could make them obey whatever he said, but it was not even enough for me to be happy with.

Axel said. A young-looking man walked in panting, Marcel ran to the office immediately after he saw the call. "Sir," he said, Axel didn't raise his head from the file when Marcel came in, but then he suddenly looked up. Marcel was Axel's assistant. Marcel's breath hitched when Axel looked at him, although this wasn't the first time, he could never get used to his boss's glare. Axel Stuart was the CEO of IMPERIAL, a company that has been doing well for years and is one of the wealthy companies in the whole of Country A.

“They’re everywhere. I’d say you might even have encountered them already; only, you cannot perceive them as one. Camouflage as what you might say. They’re good at that. After all, they are a supernatural existence gifted with different abilities, which you might have—like everyone else around you.” He got an answer, yet along with it were thousands of fresh questions desperate to be filled-in. Somehow, he made sense and also didn’t. It was in itself confusing. Not to mention, creepy. Come to think of it, he didn’t even know why he knew of hIS name. “Who the hell are you? How do you know who I am?” “Like I said, you know little of everything. This world is a nest for mystery. No matter how y

Slave I slowly step out from behind Nathan. My cheeks are still rosy-red from seeing Alpha Maximus’s large appendage. I keep eye contact as I slowly walk toward him and gently place my hand in his. There is an instant feeling of love and bliss between us. He rubs his thumb across the back of my hand, sending sparks igniting. Alpha Maximus smiles at me with his gentle brown eyes. My heart flutters and a sense of happiness fills my soul. I know right then that I can trust him and that I’m now his to cherish.

“The Black Tower was the brain. But the heart of the empire was Project Phoenix.” Grace frowned. “You never mentioned that before.” “Because I wasn’t supposed to know it existed,” Adrian said. “It was hidden even from me. Until now.” Nathaniel raised a brow. “And what’s Phoenix?” “A resurrection protocol,” Adrian said. “In case the empire collapsed, Phoenix would trigger a financial and political rebirth through offshore black accounts, deepfake identities, and embedded operatives in global corporations.” Grace’s face paled. “So Jade could still activate it?”

_*]:min-w-0 gap-3"> What I can tell you from the sealed records is this: the Ascending Compact is not a recent formation. The earliest reference dates to approximately sixty years ago. It is not a pack, not a political body, and not a criminal network in the conventional sense. The records describe it as a philosophical organisation — wolves who believe that the natural order of inter-pack relations is one of dominance hierarchy, not cooperation. That the current system of councils and committees and accords is a suppression of what they call the natural ascending order — the strong pack rises, the weaker submit, and the hierarchy thus established is stable in the way that enforced hierarchi

Ruthless and insatiable for power, he thrived on control, growing more ravenous with every conquest. And now, when he was at the peak of his empire, basking in the wealth and influence he had long craved, Lorenzo Kim had returned. The Kim Clan, once the supreme rulers of Korea’s underworld, had been a shadow of its former self for years. But Lorenzo had changed that. One by one, he was tearing Zane’s empire apart—stealing his contracts, luring away his allies, undermining his control. And now, Zane was steadily losing ground. He ran a hand through his hair, exhaling sharply. “How the fuck do you have no clue about this?” His sharp gaze snapped to Vanessa, his inside woman—the bait he had ski

Andrew says. “How do you know so much about imperials wolves?” I ask. “Easy, my brother Bret married an imperial. She is a great girl, but man, she is strong. That girl is something else. Depending on your hierarchy in the pack has a lot to do with the powers she has,” Andrew says. “Kate is the granddaughter of an Alpha and is about to be Luna,” I say. “Yeah, then she is going to be a damn warrior. Meek little Kate a damn warrior, how about that,” Andrew says.

she replied, “I can’t believe we are breaking history, a maid is marrying her boss.” “I don’t think anybody would believe that for you look nothing like a maid.” “But I was a maid.” “Was, but not anymore, you are my imperfect perfection,” he replied that she could only smile and wondered how can they be a perfection that is imperfect? Not getting her answer, she smiled more pronounced and listened to the priest, today is a very big day to her, a day she had looked forward to all her life with the man beside her. And she knew that just as his words ‘imperfect perfection’ confused her, so would their love confuse anyone who tries to ruin them.
