Novel & Cerita The Gray Ones

All the people present were caught by surprise. They had heard from the international news that people were secretly breeding Venomous Insects, but they didn't expect Venomous Insects to appear here. "The Gray family has always been one of the good guys. I can't believe that you, Elton Gray, would use such a dirty trick. You're a disgrace to the Gray family!" "Are you trying to force us to cooperate with you using such methods? I think you've underestimated us," someone in the room pointed at Elton and cursed angrily.

Far larger than the drowned kingdom. Golden towers stretched into the clouds. Crystal bridges crossed entire mountains. Cities glowed with impossible light. It was beautiful. Perfect. Then the sky darkened. And the vision changed. People were running. Screaming. Dying. Darkness spread through the streets. Entire cities vanished. Then they saw them. The First Ones. Tall figures. Covered in black robes. Their faces hidden. Their eyes glowing red. Not blue. Red. Then one of them looked directly at Thomas.

Barnett growled, “are you really going to keep standing in my way?” Gray was badly injured. I could see that he was already exhausted. He had fought too much, and now he was barely able to keep himself from falling in front of his enemies. Only a few warriors remained beside him. Most of them had died at the hands of Barnett and his people. Barnett’s forces outnumbered them at least three to one. The odds were terrible. “I already told you that you’ll have to step over my corpse to reach the dungeon,” Gray replied fearlessly, raising his sword.

The one who rarely survived. Gray’s face darkened. His jaw clenched so hard I thought it might crack. His fists balled at his sides, rage burning in his eyes. “Who will volunteer?” Gray asked, his voice steady, though the vein in his temple throbbed. Silence. No one moved. No one dared. Everyone knew what it meant. No one wanted to be the first lamb thrown to the slaughter. The roques are well known to be evil. They kill with no mercy.

IRIS I sped up my steps, walking past the sneering maids without looking at them once. We walked along another path for nearly twenty minutes in comforting silence. The cool wind helped clear my head a little, but the disturbing weight in my chest remained. As we looped back around toward the main castle entrance, the doors of the council room swung open. A group of five old men dressed in fur-lined robes walked out into the corridor. They were the pack elders, their faces grim and stern as they discussed official business.

He searched: *Damien Grayson*, *Roman Grayson*, *Grayson family*. The results were thin, close to nothing. Public records showed Damien as a tenured professor—serious, composed, sleeves always rolled down to hide his tattoos. Roman was a literal ghost: no social media, no public profiles. A few old articles mentioned *Grayson Enterprises* in passing—real estate, private security, vague holdings—but nothing concrete, nothing he could tie directly to Damien’s family. It was like they barely existed. Nothing about the mafia. Nothing about the tattoos or the blood. Just shadows.

, some large, some small, turning the space into something that looked like a crime scene from a horror movie. Winter's heart pounded. Shaking, she fumbled for her phone to call the police, but her fingers went stiff and numb. Several times she tried to unlock the screen—and failed. "Hey, good evening, Ms. Everhart." Footsteps approached from behind, accompanied by a low, menacing voice. Winter whipped around, heart hammering, and saw two middle-aged men approaching. Their clothes were flashy and sloppy, gold chains hanging from their necks. Their smiles were fake, predatory, and they advanced toward her, each step oozing menace.

It was a good day. Everything seemed okay. Woodhidge, the town we were headed to in my yellow sedan, was not your ordinary town. It was a town where most of its inhabitants were Supernaturals. Humans took no more than five per cent of the town total population. That indicated that roughly ninety-five percent of Woodhidge's inhabitants were not humans. Unknown to the humans there, werewolves, vampires, witches, wizards, shapeshifters, mindreaders, and seers were also proud residents of Woodhidge. However, more than half of Woodhidge's population as a whole were werewolves. The werewolf preponderance made it look like there weren't any other beings living there aside from the werewolves.

*** Athena's POV We have days when it has been tough to come back on our feet and start a fresh one. We have days that we are so disheartened with our capacity to screw things up just about everything else so instantly. Furthermore, we have days when we still have no idea how this works or how to pluck up the courage to survive. Although it is never less completely accurate that we should always understand and accept these sorts of times, epiphanies, and sentiments are therefore worthy of consideration. We have always had the prerogative not to believe with ourselves upon certain days; we are really not the bright sky and ecstatic spirit, but we are mostly the grayish horizon and solitude el
