The Tenth Victim Novels & Stories

It was Friday, and I couldn't wait for a day off, even though I wasn't sure how I would be spending it. My mind always seemed to travel back to Ivan, the hunters, and inevitably, Balor. I buried myself in my work, trying to push the worry, guilt, and anger away. I was the least exciting person to be around, but it seemed like Piper was the only one who cared enough to try and bring me out of the slump I had found myself stuck in. "Three victims. All male, ages ranging from eighteen to twenty-five. Multiple gunshot wounds. Seems like another murder linked to this ongoing gang war between the Black Sea and Poison Snakes." I nodded my head, pursing my lips.

My mother, Samantha, believed I was born a liar. Because she was deceived by my father's sweet words in her youth and abandoned after giving birth to me and my sister, Mia, she harbored a deep, bitter hatred for lies. She begged a witch for two magic rings. The rule was simple: if the wearer lied, the ring would glow red and burn them with magic. Mia's ring never hurt her, even when she broke a vase and blamed it on me. But if I simply said, "I'm thirsty," my ring would sear my flesh until I screamed. At first, I tried to defend myself, but Mom would just say, "The ring doesn't lie. Only through repeated punishment can your wicked soul be cleansed." After thousands of burns, even I started t

He couldn’t be bias, because he could end either end or much worst to what was coming on his way, possibly, if he made one mistake. And that’s what happen, but it was in fact true that there are no easy decisions as it came with a price to be paid sorely. [END OF FLASHBACK] Ruscov heaved a deep sign upon the sudden memory. He sit on his desk and pulled the papers, which lay scattered using his hand. He began reading the profiles rather intently. He knew that there should have been a connection somewhere. “The first victim in Belize was Alessandra, and secondly it was Miranda....” He began reading aloud before scribbling their name.

Shaken, she stumbled back. After hesitating, she finally made the call. But the voice on the other end was Nicholas'. "Hello?" With reddened eyes, Tiffany spoke in a pitiful tone. "Nicholas, I hit someone. What should I do?" He paused, not saying anything. I couldn't hold back anymore and practically screamed, "Nicholas, she hit my mom! If you have any feelings left, call the police and an ambulance right now! Otherwise, I'll hate you for the rest of my life."

"What does it look like? I'm leaving. You've lost your job, and you're drowning in debt. Do you think I'm going to stick around and suffer with you? Take a good look at yourself. Without Rebecca, you're nothing!" That last sentence chipped away the final shred of Zachary's dignity. He lunged at her like a madman and clamped his hands around her neck. "You bitch! How dare you play me! I lost everything because of you, and now you want to walk away? I'm going to kill you!" The two of them were locked in a fierce struggle, while the children were huddled in the corner, their terrified cries filling the air. The struggle didn't stop until the motel owner called the police, and officers forced th

He walked to him and wrapped him in his arms. "It’s a full moon tonight". Callum said. "It’s blue moon tonight". Stephen said. "Huh"? "It happens once every ten years. And for years I have spent it alone. You know at Blue Moon, the power of a Vampire is extended to much higher. It heightens all senses. It makes everything highly intoxicated". He was explaining in a husky voice, nipping on Callum 's shoulder. Callum craned his neck automatically but Stephen stopped him. "Don’t allow me Callum . I won’t be able to stop myself". He growled slightly.

"I don't want her dead." This time, it was Deandra whose smile widened. "Is that the artist-and-his-creation protectiveness? How cute." She sneered at him. Swansea held out a hand to calm Deandra and she forced her eyes back to Kieran Masters. "Tell me about the information you have for us." "Um... The tenth Patron is dead." He said it out immediately. "She was killed by the blue wolf." The nine Patrons shifted uncomfortably in their seats as some folded their hands.

"We are now at 1568 Pine Street, where the body of Dr. Rudy Fowler was found. He was brutally murdered, and mutilated. To date, Dr. Fowler is the sixth victim of the female serial dubbed as the 'Scent Of Death'. As far as current public knowledge goes, all the murder victims are sex offenders brutalizing women of all ages." Kareem and Marvin sighed and shake their heads in unison while staring at the reporters, especifically at Bartholomew Carter. Everything he said were pointing to the fact that victim was a monster. He doesn't even care that the family of Fowler's family is just a few feet away from him. "What are you doing? Don't you even have the slightest hint of respect left in you? My

How is he different to the Badbloods or the Reapers now? But he doesn't have a choice. None of them have. He wiped his tears and ran. Around ten of them were left standing now. Dead bodies lie on the ground like remnants of war. The young girl with the arrow was still alive, shifting from places to places to get a better sight of everyone. There's also a young boy, an old woman, and the rest were middle aged ones. The old woman was a fighter, she held the sword with expertise and slit the throat of the young man with a turn. The audience cheered on her.

“Mika, I already blocked you out once and you slipped back through while I wasn’t paying attention! Stop it, this is all important!” “I know I’ll quit! I’m just giddy from our time with Harper. The last time we mated with her was Ahh…” He said, rolling his eyes to the back of his head and shaking all over like he was melting with pleasure. He then walked back into my mind disappearing from my sight. Finally! Tanner held his hands up to silence everyone. “You all may think that I am joking, but I am as serious as a heart attack. This guy… thing, killed Alpha Titus. He will not be easy to take down.” Tanner told them. I nodded at my beta. Everyone looked to me for confirmation.
