The Bloody Nine Novels & Stories

At the DeLuca Family banquet announcing its new advisor, Matteo said he was going to end nine years of secrecy and finally acknowledge our relationship in public. I stood in the back row of the banquet hall, so nervous I'd crumpled my prepared speech into a ball. Over nine years, I'd cleaned up the port books for him three times, negotiated two cross-border shipping routes, and taken a bullet for him. Everyone knew the DeLuca Family had a female advisor who never showed her face, but no one knew I was that woman. I thought that after tonight, I would finally stop being his shadow. Until the screen at the front of the banquet hall lit up. There was no photo of us. Instead, there was only a si

"Ada, die!" The instant I saw Sheila, the blood in my veins froze. A gunshot cracked through the hall. I couldn't move. I closed my eyes and waited. When I opened them, the hall was in chaos. Julian was there. His men were already on Sheila. Then he was on the stage beside me, hands checking me everywhere, frantic. I looked down and saw the red. Wyatt was at my feet. Blood was pouring out of him onto the stage. My legs gave way. I dropped to my knees beside him, one hand pressed to the wound, the other fumbling for my phone to call an ambulance.

One by one, the younger wolves and allied packs stepped forward to offer their blessings and tributes to the old Alpha. I still had not appeared. Kael forced down the rising unease and stepped aside to call me. The line rang and rang. No answer. He called again. Still nothing but the flat mechanical tone. At that moment, a courier entered the hall carrying three parcels. All of them were addressed to the Blackthorn patriarch. Under the eyes of the guests, the old man opened the first box. Inside was a hand-embroidered tapestry of moon wolves offering blessings beneath a full winter moon. Anyone could tell it had taken months to complete.

After she left, Nine opened his eyes and sat up. His eyebrows were furrowed together. ‘I thought that girl was innocent and pure, but I didn’t expect this not to be that b*tch’s first time!’ Nine, the future head of the Tuffin family, was picking up someone else’s used toy. Furthermore, he even had to become her partner in a grand banquet. At that moment, Nine felt a fire burning inside him. However, this was not the time to have a fallout with her. ‘Just you wait, you b*tch!’

A darkened look appeared on the faces of the Nine Armies’ members when they heard what Ella said. All this time, members of the Nine Armies thought that the Bloodshed Clan dared not take any action against them as they had more people. At that very moment, they finally learned that their overall combat power truly was inferior to the Bloodshed Clan.

"Want to see something? Come here and open this box." I got up quietly and went to that box. The thought of what would be inside that box made my heart restless. I extended one hand and opened it within the next breath. A dead body, covered from head to foot with new white linen, was lying under the box. He slid his hands and removed the linen. Her clothes were like that of a royal queen with bloodstains over them. There was grief on her face. And a broken bangle tied around her hand with sharp edges. One end of the bangle pierced her vein, and the blood fell off. Her skin seemed colder.

Dave shouted, his hand instantly shooting to the hilt of his broadsword. ​Before he could draw his blade, a hail of heavy, iron-tipped javelins rained down from the high wooden branches, forcing their horses to rear up with panicked neighs. From the shadows of the surrounding underbrush, dozens of heavily armed mountain tribesmen burst forward, brandishing spiked war-clubs and jagged obsidian daggers, their faces painted in fierce tribal war-markings.

My personal brand of hell. After the most excruciating ninety minutes of my life, the game finally ended and I was all but out of here, even as the cheers went on because the white and blue team won with Jason scoring two out of three goals. It was a team I suspected wasn't the Business and Accounting team if the looks of disappointment on some of mates' faces was any indication, that meant that Jason belonged to the STEM department.

They fight with vengeance, with hatred. Howls split into the air, the forest drowns out the whimpers. The ground swallows the blood that spills. Teeth tear into skin, claws rip apart flesh.Wolves zip past, paws pounding the sand. We hunt, chase, kill. It’s chaos, and it’s madness. From the corner of my eye, Macy shields a young Delta with her body, snarling, while Rio takes down two rogues at once. The chorus of our pack’s howls spurs me forward, refusing to let anyone fall. Then, I focus on the rogue I’m chasing.
