The Descent into Darkness

The cursed realm stretched endlessly before them, a place twisted by the presence of the ancient evil. The air was heavy, thick with shadows that curled and slithered like living things. Every breath Rigel took felt like inhaling ash, each step pulling him deeper into the abyss where Daniel was being held.

This place was meant to break them. To make them lose hope.

But Rigel would not falter.

Not when Daniel’s life—his very soul—was on the line.

Behind him, the remaining allies moved cautiously, their weapons drawn, their eyes scanning the endless darkness. The path beneath them shifted unnaturally, as if the ground itself were an illusion. The sky above churned with violet and black clouds, occasionally cracking open to reveal flashes of blood-red lightning.

“This place is wrong,” one of the warriors muttered. His grip tightened around his blade. “It feels like it’s… watching us.”

“It is.” Rigel’s voice was low, edged with determination. He knew this realm w

    The Breaking PointRigel barely had time to roll aside before another wave of shadow spears crashed into the obsidian floor where he had been lying. The force sent cracks racing across the ground, a testament to the sheer power behind the attack.But Rigel wasn’t focused on the destruction.His gaze was locked onto the person standing before him—the man he had fought for, bled for, and loved beyond reason.Daniel.Only, this wasn’t the Daniel he knew.The dark veins running along Daniel’s arms pulsed with a sinister glow, his once-kind eyes now nothing more than twin abysses of midnight. The air around him rippled with barely contained energy, as if the ancient evil itself was using Daniel’s body as a conduit for its raw, unfiltered power.“Daniel, stop!” Rigel shouted, stepping forward. “This isn’t you! You have to fight it!”Daniel tilted his head slightly, as if considering Rigel’s words. And for just a fleeting moment, something in his expression softened—but then, his lips curled

    The night air is thick with tension, a suffocating weight pressing against my chest. The rogue leader stands before us, a satisfied smirk curling on his lips, watching me like a wolf sizing up its prey. “If you want power, Daniel, you’ll have to prove you’re strong enough to wield it.” His voice slithers into my ears, cold and taunting. The moment the words leave his mouth, the ground trembles beneath us. A pulse of energy ripples through the air, sharp and electric, sending a shiver down my spine. And then—they appear. Figures materialize from the darkness, stepping forward with an eerie grace. Their eyes gleam with unnatural hunger, bodies shifting in the dim light. Supernatural assassins. I count five. Five highly trained killers, each radiating lethal intent. They move in perfect synchronization, their forms blending into the shadows like they belong to them. Rigel tenses beside me, his hand twitching toward his blade. “This is a trap,” he snarls. The rogue leader chuckles

    The chaos of the rogue leader’s ritual had begun to seep into every corner of the battlefield. The ground trembled with unnatural energy, and the air carried an acrid bitterness that burned the lungs with each breath. Shadows writhed and danced around us, making it nearly impossible to see beyond a few feet. Despite the danger pressing in from all sides, our group pushed forward, desperate to stop the rogue leader before the ritual could reach its devastating conclusion. We moved in unison, a makeshift family forged by necessity and strengthened through trials. But as we pressed closer to the heart of the ritual site, something began to feel… wrong. Rigel walked ahead of me, his protective presence as steady as always, but I could feel his tension radiating like a storm barely contained.

  • Bound To My Protector Mate   A Magnetic stranger

    The night when my whole life changes! Something changed the night I met him. I was just a regular guy, drifting through a predictable life, mostly without a stable job and income and also an orphan without any inheritance, until a single encounter shattered the calm and plunged me into something I couldn’t understand.It started on an ordinary evening, in the heart of the city, when a sharp wind picked up, carrying a sense of unease. The streets were nearly empty, and I was on my way home from my job as a professional sleeper. My mind was preoccupied, when I felt it—a presence. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up as if someone’s gaze was digging into me.Turning, I found a man watching me from across the street, standing under the flickering glow of a streetlight. Tall and still as a shadow, his eyes locked onto mine, intense and unnervingly steady. My heart thudded hard against my ribs. He was beautiful, but there was something… otherworldly about him, a quiet power radiating f

  • Bound To My Protector Mate   The Obsession begins

    The following morning, I woke with the image of the strange burned into my mind, as vivid as if I’d just seen him. That intense, almost otherworldly look in his eyes kept replaying, refusing to let go. I tried to shake it off, but every time I closed my eyes, he was there—like a phantom in the corners of my thoughts.Throughout the day, nothing felt real. Conversations blurred, routines felt mechanical. I was on autopilot, sleepwalking through my life, haunted by thoughts of him. His face, his voice, the way he seemed to know me, as if we’d met somewhere in another life—it was intoxicating. And it was terrifying even though I tried not to think about it.By nightfall, my obsession had deepened, morphing from curiosity into something darker. I started hearing things in the quiet moments—footsteps just behind me, a breath so close it sent shivers down my neck. I’d whip around, pulse pounding, but there was never anyone there. Shadows seemed to stretch and shift in unnatural ways, leavin

  • Bound To My Protector Mate   The Supernatural Exposure

    The nagging sense of dread only deepened after that night. Every shadow felt too close, every sound too loud. I couldn’t shake the feeling that someone—or something—was always watching me.My sleepless nights turned into restless days, and as the city outside continued its usual bustle, I delved into an entirely different world. Late nights at the library, dim-lit corners of obscure websites, anywhere I could find whispers of the things lurking beneath the surface, I wanted to be sure that I was not losing my mind. Most of it felt like nonsense, ancient folklore and children’s tales. But the more I read, the more these so-called legends started to feel… uncomfortably familiar. Beings who lived on the fringes of our world, creatures who slipped in and out of human lives, feeding off them, binding themselves to them.One night, I stumbled on an article about a local legend: a cursed protector, a being who appeared human but was anything but. It was said he was bound to a single soul—a “

    After the attack, I couldn’t bring myself to go back to my apartment alone. So, here I was, walking through the dimly lit streets, led by the man who had saved my life. Every nerve in my body felt raw and exposed, every sound sharper, every shadow darker. I glanced at him, the man who was, in some twisted fate, bound to me. And for the first time, I felt more trapped than protected.We reached an abandoned building on the outskirts of town—a sanctuary he called it, one of the few places “they” couldn’t breach. He opened the door, and I followed him into a shadowed, quiet space filled with the faint smell of incense and old wood.“Stay close,” he murmured, casting a wary look around the room, though I saw no one but us. “There are rules you need to understand.”Rules. The word settled heavily in the room, filling the silence between us with its weight. I’d grown up following rules, but none of them had prepared me for this.He leaned against the wall, his face unreadable but his gaze i

    The darkness finally receded, and I gasped, pulling in a sharp breath as I stumbled forward. My protector’s arm was around my waist, holding me upright as my legs wobbled beneath me. I blinked, trying to adjust to my surroundings, and realized I was no longer in the city’s desolate streets.We were in a vast, underground lair, a place both eerie and majestic. Shadows danced across the stone walls, lit by soft blue flames in sconces that lined a long, narrow hallway stretching ahead. I could feel the strange hum of power in the air, something ancient and alive, tingling against my skin.“Where are we?” I asked, my voice echoing off the cavernous walls.“This is one of our sanctuaries,” he replied quietly, his eyes scanning our surroundings as though expecting a threat to materialize at any moment. “Few know of it. Fewer still can enter.”There was a tension in his posture, a sharp alertness that matched the barely concealed fear in my own heart. I didn’t feel safe here—not with him, no

    Visions of a Future That Shouldn’t ExistThe darkness twisted around me, wrapping its cold, silk-like tendrils around my wrists, my throat, my mind. I fought against it, but with each struggle, it only sank deeper, curling into the hidden corners of my soul like it belonged there.“You resist, but I see the truth, Daniel.”The ancient evil’s voice slithered through my thoughts, silky and patient. It didn’t need to shout. It didn’t need to force.It was inside me now.And it was waiting for me to give in.A flicker of light erupted in front of me—then the world shifted.Suddenly, I wasn’t standing in the abyss anymore.I was in a grand throne room, its towering obsidian pillars stretching endlessly into the void above. A deep crimson glow pulsed through the cracks in the black marble floor, as if something alive was breathing beneath it.And then I saw him.Myself.Seated on the throne.A crown of shadows rested atop my head, laced with veins of glowing silver.

    A Choice That Cannot Be UndoneEverything around me felt surreal, like I was caught between a nightmare and reality. The battlefield was in ruins—bodies scattered, the air thick with the acrid stench of blood and burnt magic. The distant cries of my allies barely registered. My mind was locked onto only one thing.Rigel.He was on his knees, his face pale, his body straining against the chains of dark energy that bound him. No matter how hard he fought, the magic refused to yield. I had seen Rigel endure everything—torture, war, betrayals—but never had I seen him helpless.And it was because of me.Above us, the sky churned with unnatural shadows. The ancient evil’s voice slithered through the air like a living thing, coiling around my throat, whispering its demand over and over.“Join me willingly… or watch him die.”The choice was cruel. Impossible.But there was no hesitation.“Take me instead.”The words left my lips before I could stop them, solid, unshakable.Adrian staggered fo

    The Weight of SuspicionThe night was too quiet.That was the first sign.I sat on the edge of our temporary camp, fingers gripping the dagger at my side, feeling the weight of exhaustion in my limbs. The battle earlier had left everyone drained—physically and mentally. We had lost too much, and yet, it still wasn’t over.A cool breeze rustled the trees, but it did nothing to settle the gnawing feeling in my chest. My mark burned faintly, a warning, a whisper of something lurking just beyond our sight.I glanced over at Rigel, who sat near the fire, speaking in hushed tones with Adrian. Their shadows flickered against the flames, tense and restless.We were all restless.And yet, despite everything, something in the air felt off.Like we were being watched.Like the darkness around us was waiting for something.Or someone.The AmbushThe attack came swiftly.Too swiftly.One moment, we were gathered in quiet exhaustion—the next, the night exploded into chaos.The first shriek shattere

    The battlefield is eerily quiet. The assassins who survived have vanished into the night, retreating into the shadows from which they came. Only their fallen comrades remain, some groaning in pain, others eerily still.But I barely register them.My hands are still trembling, the last remnants of power crackling at my fingertips. The raw energy I unleashed lingers beneath my skin, humming, alive.And worse—I can still feel it.That intoxicating rush.The way the darkness surged through me like it belonged there.The way it made me feel untouchable.It would be so easy to let it consume me.So easy to stop fighting it.But when I lift my gaze, the first thing I see is Rigel.He’s standing a few feet away, his body tense, his face pale beneath the blood and dirt smeared across his skin. His eyes—normally so sharp, so defiant—are filled with something I never thought I’d see directed at me.Fear.And it hits me like a dagger to the chest.“Rigel,” I whisper, my throat raw.He doesn’t mov
