Lyra's Journey
In a world of supernatural beings, Lyra is a young woman who tragically dies because of her love for the wrong person. Arthur, a cunning and deceitful man, betrays Lyra and offers her soul to the devil in exchange for his own. As a result, Lyra's soul is taken by the devil, leaving her lifeless body behind.
Before her death, Lyra learns the truth about who truly loves her. It is Drake, a kind and loyal man who has been by her side all along. However, it is too late for Lyra to change her fate.
But fate has other plans for Lyra. She is reborn sometime in her own past, with a chance to rewrite history. As Lyra navigates this new reality, she must confront the harsh reality of what happened to her in her previous life and the choices she made.
Lyra soon discovers that Arthur had a bigger plan than just betraying her. He had made a deal with the devil to gain immense power and control over the supernatural world. His betrayal of Lyra was just one small piece of his grand design.
As Lyra tries to unravel the truth about Arthur's plan, she realizes that she holds the key to stopping him. But can she find the strength to stand up against him and save the world from his evil intentions?
With supernatural powers at play and a race against time, Lyra must face her past mistakes and make tough choices to ensure a better future for herself and those she loves.

Chapter: Chapter TwelveThe sun had dipped below the horizon, casting an array of pink and orange hues across the sky. The surreal beauty was a stark contrast to the once-dark realm that Lyra had been fighting to save. She stood at the edge of the cliff, overlooking the vast expanse of the ocean as the colors danced on its surface. Her heart-shaped face seemed to glow in the fading light, her striking green eyes reflecting the warmth of the scene before her. A gentle breeze whispered through her long, curly hair, freeing it from the loose braid she had fashioned earlier in the day. As the tendrils danced around her shoulders, they seemed to be liberated as well, much like the supernatural world she had fought so hard to protect. "Arthur is gone," she whispered to herself, her voice barely audible above the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks below. The relief was palpable in her tone, the knowledge that his malevolent presence no longer haunted her steps bringing a sense of peace she had not know

Chapter: Chapter ElevenThe sun dipped low in the sky, casting a blood-red hue across the horizon as the first stars of twilight emerged. Lyra stood on a cliff overlooking the vast ocean, her heart-shaped face illuminated by the dying light. The wind whipped through her wild tangles of hair, and she breathed deeply, savoring the salt-tinged air. It was here, at the edge of the world, that her final showdown with Arthur would take place. The ancient ruins of a long-forgotten civilization lay scattered around them, their crumbling stones a testament to the passage of time and the impermanence of all things. "Arthur," Lyra called out, her voice strong and resolute yet tinged with sorrow. "It's time." He emerged from the shadows, his imposing figure outlined against the fiery sky. His piercing blue eyes met hers, cold and unyielding, as he slowly approached. The expensive suit he wore seemed to accentuate his wealth and power, but it could not hide the darkness now consuming him. "Lyra, my love," he said, his

Chapter: Chapter TenWith a deep breath, Lyra reached for the heavy brass door handle, her supernatural allies by her side. They had gathered from many realms and seen many battles, but tonight, they were united in purpose – to confront Arthur and reveal his true intentions. The door creaked open, revealing the grand entrance hall of Arthur's opulent mansion. The air was thick with anticipation as they stepped inside, each one ready to face whatever awaited them.The party was in full swing, and it was evident that no expense had been spared. Crystal chandeliers hung from gilded ceilings, casting a warm glow upon the polished marble floors. Intricate tapestries adorned the walls, depicting scenes of mythical conquests and enchanting romances – an ironic backdrop for the dark storm that loomed ahead. Rich velvet drapes framed tall windows, allowing moonlight to filter through and play upon the shimmering surfaces of silverware and glassware."Is everyone ready?" Lyra whispered to her allies, her green eyes

Chapter: Chapter NineMoonlight filtered through the lace curtains, casting an ethereal glow upon the small room where Lyra lay. Her heart-shaped face was ashen, and her once vibrant green eyes were now dull, half-hidden beneath heavy lids. Sweat beaded on her forehead, evidence of the fever that still gripped her weakened body. Every breath she drew was shallow and labored, and a grimace twisted her lips with each inhale.Rebecca sat by Lyra's bedside, her petite frame hunched in concern. The soft light illuminated the worry etched upon her gentle features. As she reached out to touch Lyra's hand, strands of her curly brown hair slipped from behind her ear, falling around her face like a halo. "Lyra," she whispered, her warm brown eyes brimming with both hope and trepidation. "Can you hear me?"Lyra's eyelids fluttered slightly, but she didn't respond. Instead, her body shuddered involuntarily, betraying her pain. A pang of sympathy shot through Rebecca's chest, and she squeezed Lyra's hand gently. She k

Chapter: Chapter EightThe battle raged on and they soon found themselves in the streets of a small town that was buried deep within the forest. Lyra stood on the cobblestone street, her heart-shaped face illuminated by the flickering glow of gas lamps. Her striking green eyes scanned the surrounding medieval buildings as she clutched her cloak closer to her chest, shivering in the cold night air. The pressing weight of the situation bore down on her heart, causing it to race with anticipation. "Lyra," a voice whispered from behind her, its icy tone sending chills down her spine. She turned to find Arthur's dark figure emerging from the shadows, his sharp features accentuated by the dim light. His piercing blue eyes locked onto hers, revealing an intensity that terrified her. "You cannot escape your fate." "Arthur, I don't understand," Lyra stammered, her voice trembling with fear and confusion. "Why are you doing this?" "Because you're a threat to my plans, my dear," he replied, his voice laced with ve

Chapter: Chapter Twenty-FourThe drive home is awkward and uncomfortable after my father's outburst. I sit and fidget trying to settle my nerves before Austin can unnerve me anymore. "Do you have any idea what your father could have meant?" he asks, breaking the silence. "I have no idea" I respond, honestly. Austin breathes a frustrated sigh. His eyes are pulled back to his phone and I can hear him mumbling "Three missed calls from a number I don't recognize." Noticing the direction my eyes have gone, Austin quickly puts his phone away before it becomes a visual problem."Who was that?" I ask, my voice sounding a little higher than usual.Austin doesn't respond right away. His hand flexes and curls into fists as he internally battles something before turning to me and putting on a fake smile “Nothing important” He perks up suddenly “Since there is a storm tonight, what would you think of sitting in with me to make sure everything is okay?”“Uh. Sure. I guess.” An uneasy feeling settles into my stomach now. Was

Chapter: Chapter Twenty-ThreeUpon reentering the party, I swear I can feel all eyes on us. As people glance our way, I think that I see knowing looks. It is as if everyone here knows exactly what we were up to while we were gone. My face colors as these thoughts sink in and I grasp Austin's hand just a little bit tighter because of it. Austins rubs his thumb over my hand and it somewhat soothes me. I plaster an uncertain smile across my face as we rejoin the others seated at the table. My stomach lurches a little as I watch my father trail kisses up the side of Yvette’s neck. “Mr. Stratos, How are things on your end of the Asiatic trade deal?” Austin asks. Part of me wonders if it is for my comfort as it forces my father to stop what he is doing in order to answer him. “Things are progressing as well as can be expected, especially in light of the unrest within the region.” He answers, his words slightly slurred as if his mouth had a small amount of liquid remaining within it. “How are things progressing with my

Chapter: *** Explicit *** Chapter Twenty-TwoHis hands reach around and two of his fingers attach themselves to my nipple and give it a sharp pinch. I involuntarily flinch at the hot sensation of pain that now radiates from it, even as even more wetness pools between my legs. My chest heaves as I breathe through the pain. He releases it and all I feel is the throbbing sensation left in his wake. “Now behave or the next time it will be worse.” His voice growls into my ear. Before I have time to comprehend what he has said his hand returns to its previous task and I am left gasping for breath as the orgasm I have been teetering on the edge of for a while comes crashing in. “Good girl” Austin purrs.

My legs tremble as I struggle to remain quiet like I have been instructed. Finally I feel him move his hand closer to my now dripping wet centre. He slowly pulls my panties to the side and his hand slowly circles my most sensitive point.“Well, feels like someone is all worked up.” he says, as his fingers find my soaking slit.I say nothing in return, not wanting the sensation of his touch to stop because I could not follow his command. He strokes up and down before slowly pushing a single finger inside me. My inner wales flutter around his finger, the intrusion sending small sparks of pleasure through my now highly sensitive body.“More.” I say breathlessl

Chapter: *** Explicit *** Chapter TwentyAfter the three course meal has been eaten, and the tables have been cleared, the band takes the stage and many well dressed couples make their way to the dance floor. My father and Yvette rise and join the others on the dance floor. Looking to Austin, I can see that we are not going to be joining them. Then to my surprise Austin rises to his feet and holds out his hand. Glancing up to meet his eyes, what I see there makes my mind go back to the night that we had sex and immediately I begin to feel aroused. Placing my hand into his, I allow him to pull me up to standing and I follow his lead as we head towards the dance floor. I am once again taken by surprise as we don't stop and join the other couples twirling gracefully to the sound of the music that fills the space.

Hanging from the ceiling are lanterns of all different sizes and colours, gently lighting the space.

To my left as I enter are poster boards showing work already done by the charity but also what they aim to achieve. All in all it seems this charity does wonders for children. Maybe I should donate some of the money I am making in this awkward arrangement I think. Some good may as well come out of it.

Chapter: Time Passes"That's not going to work." Sebastian smirked. "The handcuffs are infused with magic and can't be broken. They didn't hold that feral vampire, but they will hold you."Helena stared at him defiantly, refusing to give in. Sebastian laughed as he watched her struggle."Don't worry," he said, leaning close enough to her for her to smell the foulness of his breath. "I'm sure that we will come up with some kind of arrangement." Helena glared at him, refusing to let him cow her. Suddenly, she felt her body go limp and she lost consciousness.Over the next several days, Helena was held captive in the small cell, beaten and raped repeatedly by Sebastian whenever he chose to visit her. Each night, she would try again and again to find a way out of the cell and fight back against him, but each time, she went limp and slipped into unconsciousness. It was as if he were controlling her body but she continued to stubbornly cling to the last shreds of consciousness."This has been fun," Sebastian sai

Chapter: the truth dawnsHelena slowly opened her eyes, her head throbbing with pain. She tried to move, but found herself restrained. Looking around, she saw that she was in a small, damp cell, with no windows and only a small barred door. She struggled against her restraints, but they held firm.After a few moments, Helena's eyes adjusted to the dim light and she saw Sebastian had returned and was standing outside her cell. His face was twisted in a cruel smile."I see you're finally awake, it's almost as if my mere presence brings you back to life" he said, his voice cold and mocking. "Did you really think I was on your side? Did you really believe that I would betray my own kind for a mere human like you?"Helena struggled against her restraints, trying to break free. "Let me go," she hissed. "You're a traitor to your own kind!"Sebastian laughed. "I am no traitor. I am simply doing what is best for my clan. And that means getting rid of weak links like you."Helena's heart sank as she realized the truth.

As they approached, Helena could feel her heart pounding in her chest. This was it, the moment she had been training for her entire life.Sebastian signaled for her to stay back as he stepped forward to face the feral vampire. Helena watched in awe as Sebastian moved with incredible speed and agility, dodging the feral vampire's attacks and striking back with precision."Drake," the feral vampire cried out. "Why are you fighting alongside that hunter? Join me, and we shall feast on her together."Helena stared at Sebastian in shock. "Why did he call you Drake?" she asked.Sebastian hesitated for a moment before turning to her. "I didn't want to tell you earlier, but Drake was my former name. I changed it after I became a vampire."Helena felt a mix of emotions – confusion, betrayal, and a sense of loss. She had thought that Sebast

Chapter: a true allyAfter the wound had healed, Helena and Sebastian got back to work. They began discussing their plan to take down the feral vampire and any other vampires who might be in league with him. Sebastian shared his knowledge of the vampire underworld with Helena, telling her about the different clans and factions that existed within it.Firstly, there are the vampires themselves, who are divided into several different clans. Each clan has its own set of traditions and customs, and they are often fiercely competitive with each other. Some of the most prominent vampire clans include the Dracul, the Nosferatu, and the Toreador.On the other side of the coin are the vampire hunters, who are also divided into various factions. Some hunters, like Helena and Alaric, work independently and take on jobs as they come. Others belong to larger organizations, such as the Order of the Silver Dagger, which is one of the most powerful and respected hunter groups in the world.Finally, there are the other su

Chapter: unknownAs they ran through the darkened streets, Helena felt her strength beginning to fade. She stumbled and fell to the ground, her body wracked with pain and exhaustion.The next thing she knew, she was lying in a dark cave, with Sebastian sitting beside her. She tried to sit up, but a wave of dizziness overtook her, and she fell back onto the ground."Take it easy," Sebastian said, his voice gentle. "You've lost a lot of blood. You need to rest."Helena looked down and saw that her shirt was soaked with blood. She felt a sharp pain in her neck, where Sebastian had bitten her.Sebastian noticed her discomfort and reached out to touch her neck. "Let me see," he said, his voice soothing.Helena hesitated for a moment, unsure of whether or not she could trust him. But then she felt his cool fingers on her skin, and she relaxed.Sebastian examined her neck carefully, then leaned back. "I'm sorry," he said.

She knew that she was getting closer to Drake, but she also knew that she needed to be careful. She had no idea what she was walking into.As she crept around the factory, she suddenly heard a rustling sound behind her. She turned around quickly, her hand already reaching for her stake."Who are you?" she demanded, her eyes scanning the area for any signs of danger.A vampire emerged from the shadows, his hands held up in surrender. "Please, I mean you no harm," he said. "My name is Sebastian."Helena studied the vampire carefully. He was tall and lean, with pale skin and piercing green eyes. He didn't look like any vampire she had ever encountered before."What do you want?" she asked warily."I overheard you asking about Drake," Sebastian said.

Chapter: Chapter Seven - SylvieA short time later I hear footsteps approaching over the rocky ground. Looking up I see Xander heading back towards me, his arms laden with sticks. I rise to my feet and take some off his hands.“Thanks,” he says.“All good”“I figure we should light the fire at the entrance to the cave and sit a little further back but not too far. That way if anything comes out of the forest it will either be afraid of the light or we will at least see it before it can attack us.”“Sounds like a plan.” I say bleakly.I watch him place the sticks around in order to build the fire, before he reaches into the pack and pulls out what I had assumed was a rock.

I cannot help but to find her intriguing. Although she began as a task set forth for me by my father, I am beginning to see her as more than that. But I cannot grow too attached. I must do what is right for the kingdom.“We should head north.” I say breaking the silence. “Most towns and cities here are to the north of forests like these. The Chimera generally enjoy being away from the deserts and mountains to the east and west which means we are most likely in the southern quadrant of this realm.“How do you even know that?”

Chapter: Chapter Five - SylvieAs I spin I stifle a scream. Making its way through the trees is something truly out of a myth. From top to bottom it is a mish-mash of creatures. Its twin heads are that of both a goat and a lion. The heads join at the shoulders to the body of a lion, all ending in a tail with a serpent's head. Growing up I was always interested in mythology. The name of the creature easily came to mind; Chimera. I try to back away slowly, hoping it hasn’t yet noticed me.But as per my usual clumsy self, I end up tripping over my own feet. “Crap!” I think, beginning to beat myself up a little. With a snarl from its lion head and a hiss from its tail, it leaps through the air towards me. I never thought a creature composed of such parts would be graceful but wow, with the

Chapter: Chapter Four - Xander“Crap, Crap, Crap.” I think as I gather my bearings after what was undoubtedly the worst portal jump I have ever been through. After leaping in to follow Sylvie, I would have thought that we would have ended up at least somewhere close together. Also, something must have gone wrong as normally a portal created by a Leaper, when you enter through a body of water, you generally exit from one too. To be honest, I thought I had felt something strange as we went through the portal. It was almost as if something was pulling us away. Reaching down I pull out the Fellstar pendant. “I really need to find Sylvie. The gods only know what kind of trouble that girl has gotten into. Not to mention I need to figure out exactly where we are. At least it's the right realm.” I think as I look up into the sky to confirm my thoughts. As I wait for the pendant to tug me into the right direction, I notice

His queen was pregnant at the time and went into early labour. She died and the baby survived. This baby was the Fellstar heir.” He seems to pause as if to let this sink in and then continues on. “At the time of this child's birth, a prophecy was foretold requiring the Fellstar heir. After waiting and waiting, finally the signs of needing this heir came about and after a year of searching, this led me to you.” He states while withdrawing a pendant from underneath his shirt. He holds it out for me to look at. Attached to a long chain, it is the shape of a star, the gold shines brightly in the midwinter sun and the ruby in the center

As if something terrible will happen if I don’t.” I hurry to retrieve my purse from my cubby in the kitchen. I rush towards the front door, nearly bowling over Beth. “ Sorry, and thanks for earlier!” I yell over my shoulder as I pass her by. As I turn my head back towards the front door I see Xander enter, his blonde hair waving like one of those guys in the hair commercials. “Sylvie.” His smooth voice falls over me like a warm, fuzzy blanket on a cold evening. “Let’s take a walk”
