Venom Pool Novels & Stories

The doctor looked between us. “You didn’t just nearly drown,” he said. “Your bloodwork came back abnormal.” My stomach dropped. “Abnormal how?” Adrian asked. “You were poisoned,” the doctor said bluntly. “A complex substance…Called Virex-9…..Hard to detect…..and shuts down the nervous and circulatory system at a rate not even known to man” My ears rang. “If you hadn’t fallen into the pool,” the doctor continued, “ I fear…..you would’ve lost consciousness within minutes and then it would've been too late.”

He pulled out a tiny, unlabelled crystal vial containing a clear, odorless fluid a lethal, fast-acting venom harvested from the deep-dwelling vipers of the scorched plains. He prepared a drink, pouring a generous measure of expensive, dark red berry wine into a polished silver chalice. With a steady hand, he tipped the vial, watching the clear fluid dissolve seamlessly into the dark alcohol. It was a perfect, untraceable poison that would make a man's heart stop within minutes. To the palace physicians, it would look like a sudden, catastrophic heart attack brought on by the stress of his recent battle injuries. Kaelen smoothed down his dark tunic, took a deep breath to settle his erratic pu

Well, putting away all of that aside, Natasha had hit the shower and put on a fresh pair of blue jeans with a pink top and a white sweater before getting into white sneakers. She let her blond hair rest above her shoulders as she grabbed a bag and put something in a sort of cage right next to her closet. "Come on out, V," she started after setting down what she had put at the base of the cage. A moment later, something slithered out from a dark corner of the cage. A snake;a green viper to be exact. Taika had given her the snake when she and her mother had gone on a visit to Hawaii, where she had learnt was her birth place.

Without an antidote, what would happen to him? “He’s hurt?” Fredrick’s voice startled me from behind. I turned and nodded quickly. “I need some kind of resin. A substitute,” I said. “And I don’t know what could work.” “Epoxy?” Fredrick suggested hesitantly. I stared at him, confused. “What’s that?” “Liquid glass. Used for painting. Stay here.” Fredrick left immediately. I struggled to hold Kael down as he thrashed violently. The venom had entered his bloodstream, triggering this reaction. The other participants only watched from a distance, unwilling to help.

We were a feast. "Calhoun!" I screamed, shaking his shoulder. "Calhoun, wake up!" No matter how hard i tried to wake him, he didn't. Calhoun was completed drained and exhausted. Then the snake attacked, it moved like a whip, its massive jaws opening to reveal rows of needle sharp teeth dripping with a clear, paralyzing venom. I dove to the side, splashing into the deeper part of the pool just as the snake’s head slammed into the stone where I had been sitting as the rock shattered like glass.

Logan murmured to Brooke with immense tenderness. “My boots will return to this chamber within a brief interval.” After meticulously tucking the heavy wool blankets around her shoulders, Logan stood upright and abandoned the bedroom, exercising total caution to seal the timber door silently behind his heels. He descended the stone stairwell into the lower living space before resuming the high-stakes conversation with Samson over the communication frequency. “What specific classification of venom are our lines dealing with?” “It operates as an incredibly lethal, exceptionally rare strand of alchemical poison engineered specifically to trigger catastrophic cardiovascular palpitation, which sub

Vane screamed—a thin, terrified shriek that was instantly cut short. The fifteen-foot wedge of solid black iron rushed through the center of the room with the speed of a falling fortress. The flat, unyielding face of the pendulum struck Vane squarely between the shoulder blades with a dull, sickening thud that pulverized his spine instantly. The kinetic force didn't just throw him; the immense weight of the regulator carried his broken body forward, pinning him against the opposite basalt wall of the pit before scraping his remains down into the frothing, violet tide below. The sub-zero pool gave a massive, violent heave as it swallowed him, a single, massive bubble of frozen violet vapor bu

Adam continued, pointing toward a larger, circular pool, “is where the werewolves of age sixteen are tested. The pool assesses the strength of their wolf before they are fully accepted into the pack. Only those whose bond with their wolf proves strong may step forward.” I stepped closer to the pool that had ostracized me. The water’s surface rippled, but not from our movement. Bubbles rose from the center as if the pool were breathing. A faint scent of something sweet and salty floated upward. My fingers itched to touch the water, and as I leaned in, I felt a pulse; El recognized something ancient. The pool reacted to my presence. Adam stiffened behind me, his usual composure faltering. “Dor

“Even the method is unfamiliar. No trace of puncture or injury that should have allowed the toxin to enter.” Leonel’s jaw clenched. “Someone did this deliberately.” I stepped forward to Lucien. My gaze swept to the blackening veins, and something snapped within me— something unfamiliar yet so familiar flushed across my mind. ‘Dead Viles.’ Dravara’s hiss sliced through my mind. “Dead Viles?” I inhaled sharply. “Are you sure?” I whispered out loud, not caring who heard and who didn't. “Impossible.” Kaelthorn's voice rang, cutting the silence. “That poison is banned all…”

As we reached the hallway, he glanced around and used the moment we were alone to speak. "Shapeshifter blood is toxic. If she was exposed to a large amount, we’ll need to drain and filter her blood again, and it could take a month to eliminate all the toxins. Let’s hope the venom level in her body is minimal and that her system expels it naturally," he said seriously. A chill ran down my spine as I remembered how close I had come to losing Josh to something similar.
