Panther Claw Marks

My crippled sister, Monica Porter, jumped from the roof of the classroom building. The day before she died, she had just been fitted with the custom prosthetic legs I had paid for with ten years of savings. She was glowing, excited to finally stand up on her own. But my wife's best friend, a guy she said was just like a brother to her, locked Monica inside an empty art room. He smashed her new legs, forced her to crawl on the floor and lick paint clean to retrieve the broken parts, and recorded everything on video. And my wife, a judge, ultimately ruled that the case could not stand. "The video cannot confirm the time it was recorded and may represent consensual performance art between both parties," she said. Sandra Pauley's final judgment was simple. "The deceased had a history of depression. The school and the defendant bear no responsibility." I smiled and cooked her a full table of food. The next day, I hung the bully, Eric Hoyles, from the school's flagpole and livestreamed it to the entire internet. "Honey, remember how you said Monica had such pretty legs?" I raised a claw hammer and brought it down on his ankle. "If you don't hand over the video evidence right now, I'll hook out his Achilles tendon one strand at a time and let him learn what it feels like to crawl!" The wind passed through. His screaming broke apart in the air, mixing with the strained creaking of the flagpole until it sounded almost like music. The live chat went insane. Meanwhile, I laughed until my eyes filled with tears.

The first thing he takes from me is air. A hand crashes over my mouth, ripping me backward into a darkness so sudden my mind stutters. My scream dies against his palm. My feet leave the ground. My heartbeat slams against my ribs like it’s trying to escape. “Stop fighting,” he says, his voice a low, controlled threat against my ear. Not shouted. Not rushed. Certain. I claw at his arm anyway. It doesn’t matter. “This is day one,” he whispers. He forces me onto my knees, my breath splintering in sharp, humiliating bursts. His fingers hook under my jaw, lifting my face so I have to see him.. cold eyes, steady rage, a man carved from hatred with a purpose. “You were born into the wrong blood,” he says. “And now you’ll pay for every sin it spilled.” His thumb drags across my trembling lips, testing, measuring. A reminder he owns every choice I have left. “You’ll beg,” he promises. “Not for mercy. For the end.” And something inside me sinks, cold and final. From this moment on, nothing is mine. Not breath. Not choice. Not time. ⸻ Luna Vitiello is the silent daughter of a devil. To the world, a pampered princess. In truth, a girl who has bled in silence for nineteen years. But the man who takes her doesn’t care. To him, she isn’t a victim; she’s the enemy. A living vessel for her father’s sins, a debt meant to be paid in pain. He thinks he’s breaking a spoiled queen. He doesn’t realize he’s crushing a girl who was already broken.

The world's most luxurious prison is gilded, and Audrey just broke free. Born into wealth, Audrey is running from a legacy she views as a curse—a privileged life built on the foundations of a dark secret she keeps locked inside. Her only chance at salvation lies in a new identity and a grueling, anonymous job far from the glare of high society. She lands a position at CazoS Enterprise, hoping to finally earn a life she believes she deserves. Little does she know, the gilded cage she fled has a more lethal twin waiting for her. Sebastian CazoS is the undisputed king of this world. The coldest, most ruthless CEO in the city, his charm is a calculated weapon and his wealth is an impenetrable shield. He doesn't just despise love; he actively believes in the destruction it causes. For Sebastian, people—especially women—are commodities to be acquired, used, and discarded. Rumors follow him like a shadow: he is brilliant, devastating, and perhaps, truly unhinged. Their worlds don't just collide; they detonate. When Audrey's desperate attempt at a clean slate places her directly in Sebastian’s line of sight, the tension is instant and toxic. He sees a challenge in her refusal to be bought; she sees the very worst of the world she ran from. But as their volatile interactions escalate, Sebastian realizes Audrey is somehow tied to the very empire he runs, and Audrey's terrifying past begins to claw its way back. Will he save her from the nightmare chasing her, or is Sebastian himself the deeper, more dangerous trap? In a world where money is power and love is a weakness, their relationship won't be a romance—it will be a battleground where only one can survive intact.

My older brother, Ethan Earnhart, was the Alpha of the Shadow Pack. Right now, he was slicing my chest open with a silver surgical blade. Beside him, my adopted sister, Sara, had tear-filled eyes. "Elina went as far as faking her own death just to escape the loan sharks. She even used the body of a disfigured rogue." Ethan's gaze was filled with disgust. He pointed at the bruises covering my body, marks left when I was alive, and explained calmly to the young healer beside him. "Look. This is what happens to a traitor who betrays the pack and sleeps with filthy rogues. Elina, being the liar she's always been, even found a stand-in for her little performance." My wolf soul hovered beside the operating table and watched in despair as he handled my body the way one would process prey. 'Ethan, that really is me. I was trying to retrieve something you lost. That was why they–' "Check the stomach contents," Ethan said flatly as he cut open my stomach. Unexpectedly, there was no food residue. Instead, there was a single ring. It was corroded black by stomach acid, but the emblem engraved on it was unmistakable. It was the Alpha heirloom Ethan had lost five years ago. I had swallowed it just before I died. I had to protect that secret even if I were dead. Ethan's hand trembled violently while holding the forceps. He tore into my facial flesh like a madman. "Elina?"

Cassia’s life has been hell since the day she was born—a cursed daughter, a traitor’s spawn, and a slave to her own pack. Cast out and despised, she exists only to serve the cruel whims of those around her. And at the top of this pitiless hierarchy is Alpha Rhett, her supposed mate. Cold, calculating, and merciless, Rhett rejects her, branding her as nothing but a stain on his honor. Yet his rejection binds her to him in ways she can't escape.

Silver Pact When silence becomes power, who dares to listen? In a world where magic is shaped by memory and bound by ancient oaths, the Silver Pact once held the world together. But now, the bloomfields — mystical zones where magic and emotion entwine — are breaking down. The once-stable order is crumbling, and with it, the illusion of control. Ari, the reluctant heir to the Pact, inherits more than legacy — she inherits a world on the brink. Haunted by the memory of Mira Hale, the Pact’s enigmatic founder, and challenged by the rise of Seris, a rebel who preaches total magical freedom, Ari is forced to choose between restoring order or letting it all fall apart. Then comes Kaima — a voiceless girl who doesn’t cast spells but awakens them. Her silence holds more power than any spellbook, and her presence marks the beginning of a new kind of magic: one built on witnessing, not ruling. As Ari and Kaima forge an unlikely alliance, a new force rises — the Hollow, where magic responds to intent rather than command. But not everyone wants a world without structure. As rebellion erupts, ideologies collide, and ancient truths are unearthed, the world must decide: Will it be ruled by tradition, broken by chaos, or reshaped by those brave enough to listen? Told across twenty chapters in a lyrical blend of epic fantasy and introspective myth, Silver Pact is a story of legacy, silence, sacrifice, and the power of choosing what to become — when the old world no longer speaks for you.
