Prelude 12/21 Novels & Stories

he groaned. Her fingers slipped down his chest, her nails dragging. “You let them watch us?” He moaned, the shame in his eyes undeniable. “They always watched…” She leaned in, biting his lip until it bled. “Good,” she whispered. “Let them see what power really looks like.” A ding echoed through the room. A new message. From: CrimsonVeilHQ “Number 12 has been initiated. The final commandment begins in 48 hours. One must fall. The other must reign.”

Not as some disgusting thing someone had discarded. I knew what my dad had instructed me. He wanted me to prepare food for all the guest as usual. The planner had already arrived and was decorating the house. Beautiful flowers and small fairy lights were placed everywhere. The house looked bustling and was already filled with decorations for the evening party. I had a lot of things to do so I went towards the kitchen and started preparing snacks and dinner for the guests coming this evening. Mother had already handed me the number of guests that'll be invited. Some friends of Little Wayne and my dad's business partners and their family.

CeCe whispered into my ear. I was about to grab another glass of wine when the door opened revealing Nathaniel, my college crush. He was looking so handsome as ever in a black shirt and jeans trousers. I almost fell for him all over again, not until someone else showed up behind him. There he was again. Satan's heir. “ Hi everyone, I'm Nathaniel.” He started, his eyes locked on mine. “ And behind me is my best friend, Cassius.” “ Hi everyone.” Cassius said, his voice deep as the wave of the ocean. “ It's a pleasure meeting you all.”

They swore oaths to each other with the blessing of the pack, and they held each other and kissed, looking inseparable. The beauty of the moonlight during the Moon Goddess Festival made the ceremony seem ethereal. Lira bounced on the couch indignantly. "Those flowers are the Moonblooms that we only managed to pick after I searched with you at the border for half a month! It's a token of trust that represents a promise to never commit betrayal! How could he turn around and give it to another she-wolf?" I was startled for a moment. All the decorations in that ceremony had been designed by me, from the lights to the flowers. I had stayed up all night to choose them.

He was still standing there, like a silhouette in the distance, slowly fading into the fog. Some people were only meant to accompany you for a part of your journey, and our path together had long since come to an end. Now, being at peace and well was the best ending for us both. I turned forward, closed the car window, and looked ahead, my heart calm. The fog gradually lifted, sunlight spilling gently, and I knew this was the start of a new beginning.

She hadn't listened. Now, I made a clear list of the components and sent it to her. She was thrilled. After ordering, she grabbed me to leave the office together. On the way home, I sat in the back seat, still running programs on my laptop. I scrolled through social media and saw Chuck's latest post: a perfect nine-grid layout, captioned: [Just casually mentioned it, but I feel the happiness of being loved.] When I opened the photo, it turned out to be Alicia's newly ordered gaming setup—the whole shebang.

Tonight is the Winter Anniversary. “I’m fine, Dom. Stop hovering and go have fun.” I swat his hand away from my shoulder. “Go be the star. I’m just here for the free champagne and to make sure you don’t do anything stupid before the big game.” He gives me that lopsided, boyish grin that has half the city swooning. “No promises.” I watch as he scans the room. This isn’t an official league party. It is the commemorative bash before the final showdown of the year. The calm before the bloodbath on the ice.

This is September's End. The sweetest downfall of the great manipulator. *** This is the LAST chapter of the novel. Hope you enjoyed reading! Thank you and see you on the next book!

Alex motioned his finger and they reached inside a big hall that had lesser lights than outside. Iris's breath hitched the moment her eyes landed on the man standing there all dressed in a nice tuxedo as if he was going to marry someone. There was another man who looked older and a bit weird because of his tattoed face and green burning eyes. There was no one but she heard that the mating ceremony has to be done in front of the packs to let the members know who their Luna would be. "You are late...." Leonard's icy cold tone hit her hard that for a second she thought to turn on her heels and make an attempt of running away from there.

It is the year 3019. Let me give you a brief summary about how life is in this era. All the fossil fuels of Earth got depleted in the year 2100. Since then the human race has been largely dependant on solar, wind and hydro energies. A recent invention in the year 2700 led to the discovery of the machine 'Electro Master'. It's discovery made possible for the humans to tap the energy available from the thunderstorms. Electro Master basically attracts and stores the energy from the thunder when the monsoons visit the cities of the country and then converts it into the desired power of electrical energy for usage.
