The Elevator By William Sleator

Years passed, the Academy went well. A war that happened five years ago that was forgotten. No one remembers except the Royal Families. Five years have passed, the said princess of the prophecy was never been found. The last magus user of the forgotten Empire in Azaleus, the Zaffiro Empire. The Magic Realm went well but not the other Realm. The Astral Realm, where werewolves exist. In Magic Realm, werewolves are just a myth, it doesn't exist. A myth that everyone knows. Until it happened. Sa kabilang panig ng mundo, nagkakagulo ang mga mamayanan ng Amavasya. Ang Amavasya ang lugar kung saan naninirahan ang mga lobo sa mundo ng Astral. Sa kabilang panig naman ay ang mga itim na mangkukulam ang naninirahan sa lugar ng Hexe. Mainit ang dugo sa bawat panig na naninirahan sa mundo ng Astral. Matagal ng gustong makamit ng mga sorcière ang buong Astral ngunit pilit na nilalaban sila ng mga Lykos. Naging sakim ang mga sorciere lalo na noong nalaman nila ang naka saad sa propesiya na may isang sanggol na may dugong bampira at lobo ang mag hahari sa buong Astral na walang sino mang nilalang ang makakahigit doon. Isang balita na nagdulot sa mga sorciere upang patayin ang mga bagong silang na sanggol. Hindi naniniwala ang mga Lykos sa nasabing propesiya dahil alam nilang hindi totoo ang mga mga bampira, kung totoo man ito alam nilang nasa ibang dimensyon ito at malabo na makapasok sa kanilang mundo. Ngunit nag bago ang lahat ng malaman nilang isang bampira ang binigay ng Diyos ng Buwan na maging kabiyak ng kanilang Alpha. Isang bampira na may dugong bughaw. Pero imbis na itakwil nila ito, tinanggap nila ito ng buong puso at pinangakuang poprotektahan nila ito hanggang sa huling hininga. Ang bampirang lobo sa mundo ng Astral.

Everyone in the Titanus region would have heard the older generation tell them this—during sky burials, the vultures wouldn't eat the corpses of people who'd committed heinous crimes. My husband is the sky burial practitioner who buries me. The vultures circle my corpse in the air above the burial site, but they don't prey on me. My husband frowns at the sight. "It looks like this person must have committed crimes when alive. They deserve this." Suddenly, I remembered him pointing at me, his eyes ablaze with flames of rage as he shouted, "Nancy wouldn't have lost her baby if not for you! Someone like you doesn't even deserve to get a sky burial!" It looks like his words are coming true. But later, he falls to his knees before my grave and weeps. He begs me to forgive him.

Soulbound: Chosen by Darkness In a city that devours the vulnerable, Tharien has learned one rule: distance is the only way to protect what he loves. Dangerous by nature and hunted by forces that fear the power of connection, he walks away from the one person who anchors him—Nori—believing his absence will keep her safe. But their bond is not something that can be outrun. A rare and forbidden soulbond ties them together, threading their hearts, their pain, and their survival into one. When Tharien disappears, the bond fractures, leaving Nori hollowed by longing and hunted by shadows that feed on separation. The farther he goes, the darker the world becomes—because something ancient has awakened in the space between them. As secret watchers circle and those who sever bonds hunt in the name of “mercy,” Tharien is forced to confront the lie he’s lived by. His distance is not protection. It is a wound. And the darkness that stalks their world grows stronger with every step he takes away from her. To save Nori, Tharien must return to the one place he swore he’d never stand again—at her side. Because in a world that calls separation mercy, choosing each other is rebellion. And loving her may be the only thing that keeps the darkness from devouring them both.
