Merlin Trials Novels & Stories

Qin Yuer answered, smiling shyly and she blushed prettily. The media and the public gasped, before erupting with cheers and 'Congratulations'. They thought that they looked cute and sweet, that their CP had been finally confirmed, and that they are a perfect match for each other. If they only knew. Zhao Sean immediately schooled his face into that of adoration even if he is anything but. Qin Yuer sounded so shameless in his ears now, announcing that they are dating when they're not. He time and time again declined the marriage proposal from her side of the family. It's just business, and he can do it without having to marry her. They are—technically selling their daughter to him, for busines

The battle was fierce, each blow from the golems sending shockwaves through the room, and the group found themselves working in perfect unison, their movements becoming a dance of survival. Finally, after what felt like hours, the last golem crumbled to the ground in a heap of broken stone. The chamber was silent once more, save for their labored breathing. “That was close,” Seraphina said, wiping sweat from her brow. “But we’ve passed the first trial.” Before they could catch their breath, the voice boomed again. “The next trial is the Trial of Resolve. Only those with unshakable will can pass.” The room shifted, and suddenly, the air grew colder. A vision appeared before them—a swirling mi

They called the first trial an environment test, but it was an obvious cull designed to trim most of the participants down to the fittest wolves. That or they wanted to be rid of the women who had come from other packs. Either way, Cassy couldn’t help but wonder why they were attempting to chop the numbers so quickly. Alpha Jason said less than half would likely continue on after the trial, expediting the whole process. A Luna Trial would usually take at least a month, dragged out with parties and visits from other packs, but by the sounds of it, he wanted a Luna at his side within the week.

“He is… essential.” Nyx’s voice cooled. “So you’ll use me to control him.” A beat. Vire didn’t deny it. “We will test your influence,” she said. “Tonight. Meridian Trial, and Dual Alignment.” Nyx’s pulse spiked. “That track doesn’t exist.” “It does now.” Alaric’s voice cut in, sharp. “No.” Vire looked past Nyx to him. “Your objection is noted, and irrelevant.” Nyx turned to Alaric. “What is it?”

"No one has tried in three hundred years. Your mother was killed before the Trials could be invoked. Every other Shadowborn discovered was executed immediately." " He looked at me. "You are the first to be offered this chance." "Lucky me." I pulled my knees to my chest. "What are the Trials?" Sebastian hesitated. "I cannot tell you specifics. The magic binding the Trials prevents those who know from sharing details with participants. But I can tell you this—they will test not just your power, but your character. Your control. Your willingness to choose mercy over vengeance."

"That's not a name in my family." "Not one you know of," Merlin said. "I'll keep digging. Quietly. If Mercer's still got friends watching the server logs, I don't want him knowing we're looking." The call ended, and the study fell silent again, the kind of silence that had weight to it now, thick with two initials that meant nothing yet and everything eventually.

Positions on the Council of Seralyn will be earned through Trial...Three tests of truth, heart, and strength. 1.

"If I don't try, we're dead anyway. At least this way there's a chance." "A chance of you dying in some ancient death trap!" I protested. "Or a chance of proving I'm not a threat. Of earning their respect instead of their fear." She looked at each of us. "What other choice do we have? Fight an unwinnable war? Run forever? This is the only path forward." "The trials are in six days," Morgana said quietly. "They coincide with the full moon. If you're going to attempt this, we need to leave for the Council stronghold within three days to arrive in time."

Her eyes locked onto the flash drive, and slowly, fear crept in. "What… what do you want?" she asked, voice shaking. "Nothing." I slid the drive back into my pocket. My tone remained calm. "Just stay away from me. And keep certain people on a tighter leash. Otherwise, I can't promise this data won't be… accidentally released." Sweat beaded at her temples. Her lips trembled. She knew I wasn't bluffing. This Paula was no longer the soft, pliable girl they once toyed with. I had the strength—and the means—to bring the entire Specter family to its knees.

Just a simple word like I didn't deserve a proper explanation. Unease gnawed at my insides as I recalled the reaction of the Council to Ronan's proposal. What exactly had Ronan gotten me into? “What are these trials?” I asked, finally. He stopped walking. “A series of tests—spiritual, mental, physical. Dangerous ones. Not many survive them. They’re ancient, sacred, and only the true Moonborn has ever been said to pass all three.” I swallowed. My throat felt dry. “You want me… to do that? Seriously?While I’m…”
