The Last To Vanish Novels & Stories

Caelus grabbed the Last Mother. But the force was too strong. One by one, they were ripped apart. Lyra screamed. Aiden! Aiden reached for her. Mother! Their fingers touched. Then he disappeared. Kael was thrown in another direction. Solen vanished. Orion disappeared. Nero screamed. The little girl cried out. Caelus and the Last Mother were swallowed by darkness. Lyra was left alone. No. She turned toward the enormous figure. Bring them back. The figure remained still.

“Someone has to be.” His gaze shifted to me, softer. “You should go. You have earned it, Lilith.” “As well as the rest of you,” he said, smiling at the staff who had worked tirelessly for this competition. “And Cassian?” I asked without thinking. That earned me a chorus of shrugs. “He disappeared,” Tyla said. “Literally vanished. All calls keep going straight to voicemail.” I frowned slightly. Cassian vanishing wasn’t unusual….but tonight felt different. Still, I forced the thought aside.

It poured from me, soft but unrelenting, wrapping around the Last and her followers. ‎ ‎They screamed, shadows peeling away, their forms unraveling. The woman reached for me, her face twisting in rage and fear. “You’ll regret—” ‎ ‎Her words cut off as the light consumed her, not in fire but in peace, dissolving her into nothing. The others followed, their darkness fading, leaving only the wind and the wildflowers. ‎ ‎The valley was quiet. ‎ ‎Rex’s arms came around me, his breath ragged. “It’s over,” he whispered. “Really over.”

ANNA POV. The last of Vivian’s cries faded behind the clink of champagne glasses being quietly set down. A hush rolled over the garden like mist, trailing after the officers as they led the Hugos away in handcuffs. Eyes followed them. Some wide with disbelief. Others glint with the kind of morbid interest reserved for reality television and car crashes. Vivian was gone. So was Williams.

The last ember of golden light faded from Aurora's fingertips, and the silence that followed was the loudest thing she had ever heard. Five Watchers. Gone. Not fled, not retreated — gone, unmade like pages torn from a book that was never meant to exist. The black stone floor where they had stood held nothing but faint silver traces, dissolving slowly the way frost dissolves when morning finally decides to show up. Aurora's arm dropped to her side. Her legs held for exactly three more seconds.

I felt my breath catch. The image of a son, desperate and furious, saving his dying mother with the same venom that cursed him—it was haunting and beautiful all at once. A brutal kind of love that twisted something monstrous into something... almost sacred. "The family vanished after that," Professor Alester said, his voice dropping so low it felt like he was confessing something forbidden. "Some say they disappeared into the shadows, building a new life among humans. Others believe Volodmir eventually found them... and erased them."

“You think tonight was your victory.” Her lips curled into a dark smile. “But this is only the beginning.” She picked up her phone and dialed a number. A rough voice answered. “Yes?” Vanessa’s voice turned cold. “I have a job for you.” There was a pause. “What kind of job?” Vanessa’s smile widened. “Someone needs to disappear.” Silence filled the line. Then the man asked quietly, “Who?” Vanessa’s eyes darkened. “Sylvie Hart.” And far below the mansion… In the quiet garden… Two glowing eyes were still watching the house. Waiting.

I'd been with Leo Blackwood for five years. But we'd never once made it through a mating ceremony. Every time we were about to seal the bond, something would happen with Linda—his adopted sister. And every single time, Leo would leave me behind. This time, he swore he'd planned everything down to the last detail. Promised he wouldn't miss it. I waited five days and five nights—because I wanted to tell him I was pregnant. He never showed. Instead, I got attacked by rogues. Got infected with wolfsbane because of it. At the very last moment, I called Leo. It was Linda who picked up. She put the video on, and that's when I saw it—Leo and Linda, right in the middle of some celebration. "Freya." H

But, like always, something came up and ruined it. Her last word to him was "goodbye." Scott hesitated. He sensed something off in her tone. But after a moment, he slid into the sleek black Maybach and drove off. Vanessa stood there, watching the car disappear down the road. Lowering her eyes, she whispered, "Scott... this is the last time you'll see me. From now on, take care of yourself." With that, she turned around and walked back inside the villa. Locking herself in the study, Vanessa settled at the desk. Right on cue, her phone buzzed again.

In the blink of an eye, their wedding anniversary arrived. Zach brought a cake he had reserved back home, only to find it empty. He searched the entire place, but he could not find Ninian. The panic of losing her overwhelmed him again. In his anxiety, Zach called the police, only to hear the sound of plates shattering from the kitchen. Zach ran into the kitchen and saw Ninian tearing up. “Honey, I have cancer.” Before Zach could say anything, everything around them plunged into darkness, and Ninian showed up from another side.
