No, it couldn’t be… The large beast flapped its serpentine wings above her head as it came in for a landing. It’s scales took on the color of honey, shining like mirrors in the sun, and it landed with the grace of a blue heron, as it’s onyx talons clacked against the concrete patio. Madchen gasped as the beast shook it’s shiny scales, and sitting atop its head were two beautiful black horns. Ruby eyes blinked in the morning mist, eyes that looked vaguely familiar to her.

~Author’s POV~ "This track is called the Serpent's Back. It's a narrow road that goes up a mountain. There's no fence. Just a big drop off the side. People have crashed here. One guy died last year," Simon said, his eyes shining with amusement. Harriet listened, but she didn't look scared. She was looking at her car, a simple silver Mazda. She touched it. It looked old, but she could tell it had been taken care of. The tires were good. The engine sounded smooth and strong.

Iris. Lightning. Blinding lightning cracks across the sky, and that’s when I see it. A monstrosity. A towering werewolf, drenched in rain, muscles taut and rippling with barely restrained rage. Each limb looks sculpted for violence. Its fur is slick, dark, and matted from blood and storm. Its breath steams in the cold air. Plumes spiral around its snout. Its eyes, blazing gold. My heart stops. God… I just fell into another creature’s war. All of them, beasts of the moon. Beasts of the night. Oh no!

Like something I have been gripping so tightly for so long that I forgot I was gripping it and then I let go and my hands don't hurt anymore. Like oh. Like yes. Like this. My wolf is not what they expected from an omega. She is not small. She is not quiet. She is white, the white of moonlight on still water, and silver at the edges where the Moonblood runs closest to the surface, and she is standing in the center of a clearing full of wolves who have all, in this moment, gone completely still. The battle does not stop. But it slows. The involuntary, instinctive slowing of people who have encountered something their bodies are trying to categorize before their minds catch up. Something old.

Seraphine's horse stepped forward. She looked directly at me across the distance, through the defenders, like she could see into my soul. She smiled. Then she raised her hand. Behind her army, something moved, something that made the ground tremble with each step. Something massive. A shadow like a mountain stepping forward into the light. The monster. Oh, Moon Goddess. Three stories tall. Part wolf, part human, all twisted corruption. Flesh that looked melted and reformed a thousand times. Muscles visible through tears in the skin, bones jutting at wrong angles, eyes burning red—not glowing, burning like coals.

They were wrong. I was the house. And the house always wins. As I sped toward the secret docks in New Jersey, my phone buzzed. It was a message from a number I didn't recognize, but the signature was unmistakable. "The first rule of the Black Rose, Sienna: Never let the monsters see you bleed. You're doing well. See you at the rendezvous." — M. M. My father? Or someone even more dangerous? I gripped the wheel, the cold wind whipping my hair. I was pregnant, alone, and hunted by the most powerful men in the world.

"Cameron Stuart! Just how much more trouble are you trying to cause me!" Natalie Parker's shrill voice rang in my ears, jolting me awake. The moment I opened my eyes, I saw her raising a bottle of sulfuric acid to splash it on me. Recalling the unbearable agony that overwhelmed me in my previous life, I instinctively reached out to grab the bottle. Still, some of the liquid splashed out anyway, dripping onto my body. I gasped in pain. After exhaling deeply, I clenched my jaw and caught Natalie by the wrist. "Are you mad? You can kill someone if you throw an entire bottle of sulfuric acid at them! Don't you know that?"

“This one is a demonic one…” “A demonic monster?” Claude and Darrion frowned in alarm. Jai looked at them curiously. “What’s a demonic monster?” Claude tried to explain. “There are six types of monsters in this world. The normal ones without elements like cats, dogs, the ordinary cows and sheep are considered as domestic monster. They only cause a small amount of damage compared to the others. The next one is elemental monster that is able to use element to its will, and sometimes, they also produce the elemental energy themselves. The third one is intelligent monster.

said Leon. "Look at this," Leon said as he typed something on his keyboard. Suddenly an image appeared on the largest monitor screen. “There are still many monsters in The Myth that haven't appeared. While in The Myth, we only face a few monsters, right? The rest of it focuses on illusions, hallucinations, delusions, whatever," said Leon. The screen displays pictures of monsters in mythology. “Dragons, chimeras, fire birds, cerberos, there are many more that have yet to appear. Do you know why?" asked Leon.
