Legion Chapter 14 Novels & Stories

Ryan stormed out with the boy without another word. Jessica scrambled to her feet, ignoring the discomfort of her pregnant belly, and chased after him. Linda shot me a vicious glare. Then she picked up the contract and slapped it right in my face. "Michael, a million dollars ought to buy the rest of your life, don't you think? That boy is coming into this family. You stay out of it." I watched the two of them walk away, feeling dazed. I bent down and picked up the torn pieces of the agreement.

“It’s… a message.” “Or a challenge,” Kaima added, voice tense. Siran turned toward them, resolve firming. “Then we follow. We understand. And we prepare. Because the first true test of the global bloom and of humanity itself is beginning. That is where Chapter 31 starts.” The trio descended the ridge, moving toward Hollowreach itself. Every step was charged with anticipation, each thread of bloom-thread around them vibrating in rhythm with the distant spiral. “We’ve awakened Iluren,” Ari said softly. “Now we see what the world does with it.”

I ask just before we make a sharp turn to a wide hallway. “Alpha Daymion has to settle a few things; seal the hole that has gaped since his departure.” “Hmm,” I nod, immediately pushing thoughts about the old man out of my head. “How did we really manage to get here? Last I remembered we were in a cart.” Sir Brak looks at me with one eye closed, the open eye’s brow perked. It is more of a ‘Please do not tell me you don’t know’ kind of look. “The thing about Supernaturalism is that it deals with uncanny stuff like Portals.”

“We need to strike back and show them we won’t be hunted!” “You should remember that not all humans are hunters. This means we aren’t completely sure of whom we’re going after exactly. Hell, I don’t even think they have a specific territory. They’re scatted across the globe. Some of us have business outside our territory, we might even have them as business partners. This is why we have to be subtle about hose hunters and risk exposing more of our kids.” Alpha Darius retorted, his voice calm and cool, his cold eyes spread around the room briefly before meeting Alpha Gregor’s gaze.

Adrian commanded softly. Luca’s heart leaped into his throat. "What?" "I told you the rules get harder, Luca. You wanted to prove you aren't a pet. You wanted to trespass into my space, to break my things, to mock my house," Adrian said, walking slowly toward the edge of the bed. His voice was entirely devoid of anger, which only made it more terrifying. It was the calm of a man who had already decided exactly how to dismantle his opponent. "You want to live like a rebel, but you forget that you signed a contract. Every act of defiance has a price. And tonight, I am collecting."

I tried not to notice how red her eyes looked or how she frowned up at me as I turned to climb the stairs. Safe in my room, I sat on the edge of my bed wishing the world would stop spinning. I thought of the lessons Poe had taught me. I held up my hand, focusing my will on my out-stretched palm. Red energy formed, sparking between my fingers. I willed it into a shape, forcing the power into a ball of crackling red light. Sweat broke out across my forehead, and I sighed, releasing the power. It vanished in a wisp of smoke. My skin didn't feel quite as hot, the room didn't sway as much as it did as when I walked into it. I sighed, pulling my legs up onto the bed, as I stretched out.

Even after years away, it took mere minutes for him to see nothing had changed. The Dons, now rivals, betrayers of the Lucchese blood, still skulked like rats in the shadows of their fear. Vincenzo knew: no matter what he did, none would dare strike him here, not in front of everyone. Not when a single reckless move would only hand him more power, the perfect justification to light the fuse of an unprecedented war and reduce all they’d built to ashes. “Vittoria, back to the altar,” he ordered, his voice low, sharp, almost bored, as if he’d expected more resistance, more drama.

Just air and falling and the sound of her own heartbeat in her ears. The last thing she saw was Lucien turning back to face the Ash Man, blade raised, blood running down his face. “Run, Aria,” he mouthed. Then darkness took her. --- *[End of Chapter 14]* -------
