He simply stood there, his left arm hanging at a pained angle, his fingers twitching—a microscopic tremor that made Phoenix’s own throat feel like it was being lined with crushed glass. "I’m not trading," Kael rasped. His voice was a ruined vibration, sounding as if his vocal cords had been ground under the weight of a mountain. He reached into his vest with his good hand, pulling out a set of topographical maps and a heavy, leather-bound manifest. "The Justiciar didn't die quickly. He talked. The Second Altar is located in the Deep Abyss Ruins, at the lowest thermal vent of the Black Abyss. It’s not just a volcano, Phoenix. It’s a burial ground for the First Kings. The air is necrotic. The

He had two rounds in his stomach, his hands slick with his own dark blood as he tried to look up at the catwalk. "Korr..." he choked out, his teeth stained with blood. I didn't let him finish the sentence. I raised the barrel and put a single round through his forehead, the echo deafening inside the narrow concrete pipe. Ezra pulled out the encrypted Northern tech-pad before the blood could ruin the screen. He didn't hand it to me. He held it between us, his shoulder pressed hard against mine as the text scrolled through. "The Red Ridge," Ezra whispered, his breath hitting my cheek. "The coordinates are live. The old sector research team moved the remaining Nullifiers into the high-altitude

"No… please don't…" But no one was listening. The ritual was held in the pack's sacred chamber that night. Ancient runes glowed on the floor. Tessa lay on one side of a stone altar; I was forced onto the other. Silver chains bound my wrists and ankles. As Dr. Wade began chanting in an ancient tongue, moonlight streamed through a skylight, landing directly on my belly. I could feel my pup squirming inside me, as if it sensed the danger. "Begin," Ethan ordered, standing beside the altar, his face unreadable.

Electronic Europe One Week Later Eastern Europe's snow-capped mountains loomed against the cloudy, chilly sky like sharp blades. Our next destination, Raven's Hollow, an abandoned military stronghold that has been transformed into a black market center, was tucked away deep inside this harsh, remote landscape. Here, we had traced Natalia's network after deciphering encrypted messages connected to clandestine weaponry sales. This was a command center, not merely a stronghold, and Natalia would have been here if she were still alive.

Her face had iron marks, and her smile was ugly and scary, but Neve could not see that and thought she appeared pitiful. She pinched her throat and said, "Cole, you have finally came to see me." Cole frowned in disgust. If it were not for Helma and their newborn baby, he would not look at Neve at all. This woman was already dead to him. Cole lifted his foot and mercilessly stomped on her still-injured left hand. "Does Black Hawk still have information on Glacier? What has he been secretly researching at the base these years?" ——Crack. Neve heard the sound of her bone cracking.

I can feel my hands shaking as I pushed the door opened. And right there, there was Ellaine and Daevon together. Coincidentally, his eyes roamed to look at me and immediately distanced himself from his girl. “H-Honey,” he called out. Slowly, a bitter smile crept in to my face, “For the second time, you ruined me,” I mumbled and quickly turned away from them and ran. I quickly headed towards the elevator down to ground floor to fetch my car. Tears started rolling down my cheeks despite me wiping them over and over. I pulled my car door opened and closed it. For one last time, I looked at the building before starting the engine.

She gave me a small nod, but I could still see the worry lingering in her eyes as I got up, dressed, and left with my Beta. Negaria was a secret town, hidden away from enemies, and only a few knew of its existence. The whole town was literally built to hide my family from any other enemies trying to take advantage of us after the war. The car ride there was silent, save for the occasional update from Casper, but my mind was on Tamara the entire time. I needed to figure out what was bothering her so much.

Zale said, earning a nod from him. After a couple of minutes, Zale was talking to Damien about his life and business in foreign country when suddenly the lights got shut entirely and a white spotlight flashed. "Zia is here," Zale's words peered into Damien's ear which made him turn his head around and follow the direction of the spotlight which stopped at the upper stairs and fell on that person standing above it. His malicious green orbs finally got to see that person on whose existence he had staked his claim before even that existence came into being……ZIA ALCAZAR…..

"They will not. There was a ruined temple on that mountain. Whoever someone you are talking about, they are the one who's going to die. If they went to the ruin as fast as they can, they can use that as a shield and deception." "I don't trust you," the Alpha growled. "Then, trust them. You know that they are strong, right? Trust their abilities and strength. They can use the ruins as a hideout, shield, and deception. It's 963km from the starting point. If you don't believe me, look at the Ruins and Heritage book page 154 and you'll see," she explained. The Alpha didn't respond so, she smiled at him, took the cup of tea, and gave it back to him. Then, she started to walk towards the door. But

Images flashed in her mind—flickering lights, jagged landscapes, and an overwhelming sense of urgency. “There’s another fracture,” she said, her voice steady despite the whirlwind of sensations. “But it’s... different. It’s not forming. It’s already there, waiting.” Crane leaned forward, his expression tense. “Do you know where?” Emma opened her eyes, the glow of the key reflected in their depths. “The ruins.
