Novel & Cerita Spoiler Alert

Tried not to think about late nights, closed hotels, language barriers, or the fact that I was suddenly very aware of how far from home I was. Then my phone buzzed in my hand. The vibration was sharp and sudden, cutting through the quiet like a warning bell. Relief surged instinctively as I glanced down. Good, I thought. Information. Solutions. It evaporated instantly. We regret to inform you that due to unforeseen circumstances, your reservation has been cancelled. I stared at the screen. Then I read it again. And again. Like repetition might soften the words. Like maybe they would rearrange themselves into something less final.

No vulnerability. Just terms and conditions.

That means they have information about the rest of the trial, too! That’s huge. Another huge thing was the line constantly showing on the top of the screen-- “Bullet Comments with spoilers will be screened out for the hero” The system was aware of the audience’s range of knowledge, and they built in a safety net for it too, to keep the trials entertaining. But things like “the Red Queen would kill you” didn’t fall into the catalogue of “spoliers”, meaning-- That was an opinion. Meph curves his lips into a tamed, harmless smile--

That’s what scares me. “Status,” I say. Rowan doesn’t look up from his laptop. “Feed’s viral. ‘Luna binds seven’ is trending. ‘Containment’ is trending. ‘D.C. barefoot’ is trending.” He winces. “So is ‘Tree price.’ Someone in the pack leaked Eli.” “Not leaked,” Wrath says from the door. “Shared. They’re proud of him.” Eli barks a laugh. Turns into coughing. Cove hands him water.

WARNING!! The system displayed a red-flag warning: OPPONENT IS A REGULAR PLAYER AT TOP TIER15 WITH SIGNIFICANT EXPERIENCE. YOU ARE CURRENTLY UNRANKED AND UNRECOGNIZED BY THE SYSTEM. FOR YOUR SAFETY, YOU MAY CLICK THE EXIT BUTTON TO QUIT BEFORE THE MATCH STARTS. The message was long, but Adrian didn’t have the patience to read through it. He simply clicked Skip. YOU CAN INSPECT ANY WEAPON YOU’D LIKE TO USE.

Adrian asked now very interested in the conversation. "Silver!" Sham answered. "It kills werewolves. But it works effectively when given continuously and in bits". Adrian smirked. This boy was indeed foolish. Getting that secret was too easy. "I overheard a werewolf at his death bed passing this secret over to a werekeeper" Sham continued explaining. "And all you want in return is to be the Alpha while the weredragons dominate?" Adrian asked rubbing his fingers together, thoughtfully. "Yes" Sham affirmed.

I was prepared to run if necessary. The strippers stayed for about thirty minutes. After they were gone, Alyx handed me one of the gifts on the table. I looked inside the bag and then immediately wished I hadn’t. My friends were all horny little freaks. I definitely would not be using that present, nor would I need it. Not when I had Jarren. The second bag was bigger than the first, and I was happy to find it wasn’t some sex mannequin but instead a body pillow. “Trust me. You’ll need it.” Alyx stated. I thanked her, and we continued our night.

At least that's what I hoped it was. "Are you sure you want to know?" "You mean you're actually going to tell me this time?" She bit her lip, hesitating with the answer. “Come on Lills, it's killing me not knowing!” Her bottom lip slid free of her perfectly white teeth. "We're with the Scorchers." "Scorchers?" She nodded. "How...?" Lillith and Dave shared a fleeting, knowing look. "Aaron," she said, finding my confused gaze again.
