Romans & histoires Uncanny Charm Chapter 1

Charlie didn’t have time to breathe— much less decide which emotionally complicated alpha deserved the next chapter of her life. Because her power chose that moment to behave like an untrained fire hose of moonlight. It surged up her spine, pooling at the base of her skull, and the world tilted— silver, cold, alive. “Oh NO,” Charlie squeaked, “this is a bad feeling—this is an extremely bad feeling—” Rivener lunged toward her, instincts pure protection.

I had turned off my phone at midnight on purpose, forcing him to deploy his entire security detail to scour the city. Meanwhile, inside the deafening thrum of the nightclub, my consciousness was slipping away. My head spun violently. The third drink I had downed earlier had triggered a sudden, scorching wave of heat through my body. My heart hammered frantically against my ribs, and an unsettling, frantic warmth began to crawl through my veins. "Hey there, gorgeous. You look completely wasted. Come on, let's go," a strange voice whispered directly into my ear. I turned my head slowly, blinking at an unfamiliar man in a black button-down shirt. Before I could utter a word, his hands clamped t

I close my eyes and let the music take control, I don’t know how long I had my eyes close when I open them. There stood that girl Charmaine, the girl I met on my first day here. She stood there having lust in her eyes. I could see that she was wearing a tight v- neck shirt that had her breast push together from what I could see her chest looked like it could be between C, or D cup. What I really notice that she was wearing a short skirt showing her long legs. I could tell what this girl was about, and it seems she trying to seduce with me, but I’m going to play along with her game I remove my earbuds from my ears. “Hello Harlem, how are you?”

The reflection in the mirror smiled—her own face, moving without her. And the woman inside whispered, “You don’t belong here, stranger.” --- End of Chapter 1 Next: “Chapter 2 – The Lady in the Mirror”

I mumbled, “I just cannot go around with my Ate Mica. People think I’m her leftover and keep comparing my looks to her. Life is unfair.” The taxi stopped at the Quad entrance and Charm paid the fare. She grabbed my hand and said “Let’s run. We might still catch the first showing.” We ran to the ticket counter, bought tickets, and went to the popcorn stand. She bought two popcorn and coke and we rushed to the entrance of the movie house. We were able to get two seats near the walkway. The movie was about to start. It was pretty scary and I forgot all my problems, totally concentrating on the thrilling film. Charm nudged me and pointed at some people coming in. I could not make it out at fi

Maybe, just maybe, her destiny was only beginning. Outside, unseen and silent, shadows moved in the distance. Eyes glimmered, scanning the horizon. The villains from the past were not far behind, and the chase had only just begun. Shadow seen outside the window—villains are tracking her. —END OF CHAPTER 1—

Her feminine charm was gnawing at his already thin control. Her gaze caught a tattoo peeking behind his shirt. Curious to see more, she reached out and unhooked the first button of his shirt as if she owned him. Sean clenched his jaw, a dangerous edge in his eyes. Did she even realize the territory she was stepping into or the storm she was about to awaken? But he didn't stop her. He liked it. He liked the gentle brush of her finger against his chest.

I had someone pull every book and ledger that mentioned binding charms. Hours stretched like taffy. The healers worked in shifts, chanting, burning herbs, calling on the old rites. Their hands moved with the certainty of people who have seen too much death. The charm resisted at first—sparks flared when they tried to pry its energy loose. Once it reacted, Charlotte’s body shuddered violently, and I felt like I had been punched in the chest. At one point she gasped and a broken fragment of sound escaped her throat. I leaned in so close I could have whispered into her ear but then I was part of the reason she was in this condition.

But that's impossible ok I have decided you pass the first test, let's proceed to the next one. The woman was a little shocked. See you in Chapter 3.

My shadow stirred. It rose, blacker than the abyss itself, writhing like a living thing. And when the beast roared in the distance, my shadow smiled. For the first time, so did kael. --- ☠️ End of Chapter 1.
