I stared at the board longer than I should have, the weight of every name pressing down on me. These weren’t scores of strength. They were judgments.

Slowly, I noticed that his smile faded and I wondered why. "You just arrived?" He asked and I felt he's not greeting me warmly. "Yeah.. like a couple of minutes." "Wanna try some food?" He asked and I nodded. I followed him but I noticed it wasn't a good idea to wear heels here. My pointy heels kept going into the soil. "You're done judging?" "They're preparing for round 2, it will start in an hour." Leon answered and I nodded. He led me to one of the tables and gave me a clean spoon.

He howled, staggering back, swatting wildly at the bird as it pecked and clawed, a whirlwind of black feathers and rage. “Get off me!” Zane roared, blood streaming down his face, but the raven was relentless, driving him to his knees. Then the warehouse doors burst open with a thunderous crash, silhouettes flooding in. Kael and Arlo.

I forced a smile, unsure of what to say. I stood staring into blank space for a few moments. “Roman?” Jack called, staring at me cautiously. “Let's shift” His eyes didn't leave mine.

"Scars are not just a sign of a life well- lived, but one's scars show that this person is a survivor. That they are stronger than whatever life could throw at them. So don't you ever think that the scars you carry because of your past make you any less worthy, instead, they indicate that you should be celebrated even more! And as for your capabilities as Luna, I have seen firsthand that you are empathetic and emotional without being timid or self- indulgent. At the same time, you are resilient and strong without being cold and unfeeling. It is a delicate balance that you somehow maintain effortlessly, and I have experienced recently that you don't mind breaking the rules for the sake of som

"To the Trial of the Wolf King!" Jack parked the Land Rover at the designated starting line. Around them, fifty other vehicles revved their engines. Mad Max rejects, high-tech tanks, and even a guy riding a genetically modified camel. "The rules are simple," Neferet announced. "There are three rings. The Outer Ring is the Maze of Mirages. The Middle Ring is the Hunter's Den. The Center is the Throne." "First team to the Throne gets the Key," Jack translated. "And gets to live."

“Aaahhhhh” “Is that not willingly losing money?” the others in the room thought but no one dared to voice that opinion. The one who placed the bet was Leornado Morano, the Devil himself. ………….. The riders approached the selection board. The Arena had four tracks on the display: The Arch, The Typhoon, The Scythe, and The Devil’s Tongue. These four tracks were arranged in order of difficulty The Arch was very smooth but filled with curvy roads and trails yet it was the easiest racecourse and was usually reserved for amateur riders who were merely testing out their control.

It was in an open circle in front of a huge tree trunk that was covered in vines shaped like hands reaching out hungrily toward them. Scar tried not to look around at the faces of the goblins gathered there, instead keeping her head high and staring straight ahead.

The gentle morning breeze carried the scent of flowers, and she breathed it in, trying to keep her heart from running out of her chest.

What right did Tristan have to go to Esther's house now? At that moment, his friend, Matthew Hudson, came up with an idea. "Tristan, I just remembered. The Straburgh investment conference is next month. You can attend, representing your company. Since Russell Group is a major player there, they'll definitely be attending. "Esther is a loyal person. You two have been together for eight years, and they've only known each other for a few months. How can he be compared to you?"
