Zander walks down the stairs towards the dungeon. The guards bow at him. Surprised to see him here at this hour. Looking at each other in confusion. " Your Highness. Is there a problem?" One of them asks, bowing. To only have Zander groan in irritation. " Give me the keys to the special cell." " But-" " Now!" The guard trembled. Nodding to fumble with the keys in his pockets. His hands trembled, trying to find the special key. Relief floods his eyes when he finds it. Placing it in Zander's palms he steps back. " Everyone. Out!" They all were surprised would be an understatement. But no one dared to question him. Everyone scurried out as Zander makes way towards the special cell. Unlocking it to push open the heavy door. A wall full of torture devices welcomes him and he proceeds to pick up a whip studded with metal. Gripping it tightly in his hands he stands in the centre of the dark, lowly-lit room to look up at the moonlight peeking at him through the w
The Rogue lands 2:34 am Hades pov The sound of the crickets and forest insects were echoing around. As I lay on the forest floor immobile. Zander's men have left me here, in this wilderness. I could feel ants and other insects walking on my red wounded skin but I didn't even have enough strength to move a muscle and pray them off. Breathing heavily, I was counting my last breaths. I already knew there was no escape from here. Every bone in my body seemed broken. Blood was smeared all over my face as I stared at the sky blankly. Tears continue to slide down my eyes involuntarily. Mixing with the blood. Zander's words repeat in my mind and I close my eyes. Not able to stop a sob. " You were a pathetic excuse for a mate...and a brother." I couldn't refute it. I believed what he said was true. I still remember the day 7 years back when I returned to the school grounds to find out the news that my little sister was no more. I couldn't believ
A figure walks through the dense forest. Humming a tune to herself. Her hands are placed in her pants pockets and her eyes are distant. Looking emotionless. She would be considered inhuman for leaving her unconscious brother in the forest behind. But then. She didn't give a fuc* anymore. She wasn't that stupid selfless girl from 7 years back who could do anything for her family and the ones she loved. She was a bad bitch, as some people call her now. And she didn't care about others. Her footsteps slow down as she approaches a hut located in the wilderness. Miles away from any human or wolf settlement. Climbing up the stairs, she sighs to remove her shawl and combat shoes. Taking out a spare key from her pocket. It was almost dawn. She got late. She never thought she would go there to see him. She moved on a long time ago, her past doesn't affect her. But still this one last time. She wanted to see him. To see him finally move on. She won't lie. He h
It has started to rain outside. Standing near the glass, staring at the rain pouring down, hitting the glass. She blankly stands there. To take a deep breath. When she heard her voice. 'One day or the other he will have to know the truth.' ' Why did you lie to him?' The voice in her head suggested as she saw the dark clouds surrounding her. But they no longer scared her anymore. This is what she was now. They were all a part of her. ' Sometimes a lie is better than the truth Hera. At least it gives you hope when nothing else seems to go right around you.' ' But what happens when you break your promise? Your time is limited Sera. You know I can't wait more than a year to take over. I had already waited for 7 years. " ' I understand Hera. I won't be stopping you when the time comes. " ' You should tell him. He has no one other than you." Sera closes her eyes. To feel tears sting her eyes. Her fists clenched beside her side. ' Don't worry. I will make him strong e
6 months later " Momma please!" " Don't you dare stop Logan! One more! Come on!" Sera was crouching down on her knees, seeing the little guy doing push-ups. A stopwatch in her hands. His knuckles were scrapped, and blisters lined his hands. Sweat drenched him completely, pooling under him but he didn't stop. " 221" "222" " Ahh, no mom! Please! Can't!" " I said continue!" "223" "224 " Ahhhhhh" The boy's arms shake, not able to keep his weight any longer. And he drops to the ground. Breathing heavily. Before his face could touch the ground, a palm extends to soften his fall and a smile tugs on his lips. " A br...eak please..." " No. Get up. This is the last one for the day Logan. " " The point where one thinks they can't do it any longer. Is the breaking point after which your immunity starts to form. " " Ahhh " Groaning he turns around to lay on his back. Looking up to see a serious look on his mother's face. Her hands were resting on her
Zander's pov " The number is increasing at an alarming rate Your Highness. We need to do something about it. " " The men who last went in the expedition to find information on them, returned dead. " " They have killed a hundred men in the werewolf Kingdom, under the entente the werewolves are under our protection now. They trust us for their safety. We can't let them down like this. " I sigh. Rubbing my temples. To have one of the investigators speak. " We study the footprints, your highness. And there is no doubt that they are the footprints of hybrids. Someone is experimenting on them. " Their voices were giving me a headache already. Raising my hand, I see everyone shut up. Lowering their heads. And I sigh. Speaking in my usual calm voice. " What was their last location?" “We last spotted one in the winter lands rogue territory your Highness." " Great. Make the necessary arrangements. We are leaving tonight." Gasps echo around. No one was expecting t
This hurts like shit dammit! But what had me worried was that black substance coating the tip of the arrow. The arrows were poisoned dammit! I don't have much time! And that's when it happened. I see the creatures I have been trying to locate for years now. Dropping down from the tree branches to surround me. And my heart thuds in my chest. They were huge. 4 times of a normal wolf. Claws long like pointed knives. Managing to stand on their hind legs, they roared at me. Their canines are long, seeming modified and advanced. Tree branches cannot hold their weight. Unless...they were shifters. No... It can't be normal. I am sure someone is experimenting to develop them. They are a result of medical advancement. Yet, what surprised me the most was that their eyes were covered by a black cloth. Making them immune to my powers. I need to look into a person's eyes to use my abilities. Which only means one thing. They knew I was going to come here. This was all th
When we crave it, beg for it and are willing to do anything for it. We never get it. But when we surrender. And give up on it. Accepting it in the name of fate. The universe places it right into our palms to say. " You have to learn to be patient to value it. We don't always get what we wish. " - suzangill ...... Logan's pov I was resting on the sofa, half asleep when loud howls from the forest woke me up. Putting on my slippers and rubbing my eyes. I get up with a thudding heart. It was unusual. There are rarely any fights in this area. Being far away from any settlement. Who would be fighting here at this hour? Not able to keep my curiosity at bay. Too eager. I rush towards the window to see nothing. Slowly the loud howls silenced down. I was going to turn back around when my eyes caught a movement at a distance. Pressing my palms to the window, my eyes widened when I saw a huge silhouette walking towards the clearing. He was limping barely able to wa

The royal castle was filled today. Guests from different packs and territories were staying over. Lights illuminating the huge place. Flowers lined everywhere. If anything it looked like a festival.With everyone seeming too excited and busy. Maids were running around in the corridor, the kitchen hustling with countless delicacies being prepared. Everything was in a hustle and bustle except for one room. She was sitting in her room silently. Her hands clenched in her lap. Her right leg is shaking in anxiety. And lips getting assaulted by her teeth.Gulping she looks up at her reflection in the mirror, and her anxiety worsens. " It is over... it's definitely over."She repeats ,staring at the make up she thought was caked on her face. Her eyelashes were curled. Coated in a heavy maskara. Lips coated by a bright red lip colour. Cheeks blushed red.Her eyes trail lower to directly settle on her own cleavage. And she gulps. She has never worn something so revealing before. The dress
The Death Wolf’s presence unraveled from Zanders body, dissipating like shadows retreating from the dawn and Zander gasped, his chest rising and falling in agony, yet it wasn’t his pain that consumed him—it was the sight before him.His teary red eyes look around desperately, his bloody hand on his chest, where a dagger had dug.The battlefield was a graveyard of silence. But his eyes locked on a still figure in the distance, her body crumpled where it had fallen. A trail of black blood soaked the earth, pooling around her like a final requiem.“ Se-Sera!”Heratte was dead.She had left her…But does this mean? No.. it can’t be!“ Seraaa!”Zander dragged himself forward, the taste of iron on his tongue, his arms trembling under his weight. The gaping wound in her chest was a hollow void where her heart had once beat. Blood coated her lips, dark as the night that had birthed her soul. Yet even in death, she was striking—a cruel masterpiece of tragedy and ruin.“Sera…” His voice was ho
It had been written in the pages of history that one day, the earth would bear witness to a war between the greatest evil and the greatest good.And the victor would decide if the world would drown in darkness or bask in light.That day had come.The ground trembled beneath relentless quakes, splitting open like the gaping maw of a starving beast. The sky cracked apart in furious flashes, thunder roaring like a god’s wrath. Winds howled with unbridled rage, tearing across the seas and birthing monstrous tsunamis.It wasn’t just here.Chaos bled across the entire planet. Cities crumbled, screams filled the air, and people ran—seeking shelter, praying for salvation.But where was safe when the whole world was breaking apart?The earth and sky raged in unison, their fury mirroring the battle of two forces—the strongest to ever collide, gods and mortals alike caught in the crossfire.“We… we can’t stay here!” Rose cried, stumbling as the ground beneath her shuddered violently. Winds lashe
Soul CoronaA human body in perfect resonance with its spirit. Two halves of the same essence, separated by the cruel expanse of time, destined to reunite.In the spirit world, the concepts of birth and death blur into insignificance. Salvation is rare, a distant whisper. Only by finding its Soul Corona can a spirit break free.The body it was always meant to inhabit.The odds? One in a thousand billion. A near impossibility.It is said that when a spirit is born into its Soul Corona, escape is impossible. That body becomes its prison and its home, tethered even beyond death.For most, it is a blessing. The ultimate salvation. A key to Ajooni—transcendence beyond the cycle of suffering.But for others, it is a curse. An unshakable shackle.Zander King was the Death Wolf’s Soul Corona.Its final human form.And that was why he could fight it, wrestle back control. No other host in history had ever managed such a feat.Not even Thaneous.A scream tore from Zander’s lips, his eyes flicke
A deadly silence follows in the forest. As everyone stared at the still face of the girl. Including those red eyes. The winds have suddenly stopped blowing, the earth stopped shaking. Everything seemed to come to a deadly silence." Noooooo....noooo!!!"" Seraaaaaa!!!"Thora's and Hades cry echo in the background. They rush forward towards her when suddenly the woman with the cloaks block them. Stopping them. Chorlett " Who are you! Why did you do this!”Thora asks but the man keeps sitting on a rock in a corner. Looking at the scene bored. " Greetings Thora. "" How have you been?"" How dare you touch my sister. I am fuc*ing going to kill you!"Hades steps forward to attack. To only drop on his knees. As Chorlett speak a mantra. Paralysing his body. Rose rushes towards him screaming. Holding up his head to place it in his lap. Cerberus gets up , placing his hands in his pockets. " It would be advisable for you all. If you don't interfere in what's going on. "" Or you are g
Sera’s POVThe ground trembled beneath me, the earth itself shuddering under the force of his presence. Roars echoed, shaking the heavens, as the Death Wolf tossed me around like a rag doll.He had shifted into his true form—a massive black wolf with blood-red eyes that burned like embers in the dark.I had never seen anything like him before. It felt as if the entire world had tilted on its axis at his arrival. Was Mother Nature celebrating his presence or cursing it? I couldn't tell.He threw me into the air again, his claws ripping through my skin, tearing me apart piece by piece. Blood gushed from my wounds, my cries of pain swallowed by the chaos. He showed no mercy, no hesitation. There was no trace of the man I knew—only the monster.I lost track of how long this torment continued. Seconds felt like hours. Pain blurred time.Then, finally, he stopped.I lay sprawled on the cold earth, drowning in a pool of my own blood. The stars above blinked down at me, my vision hazy from th
2000 Years Ago—The Garden of LunarisThe Garden of Lunaris was a sanctuary untouched by war, unmarred by sorrow—a realm so sacred that even time itself seemed to still beneath its silver-lit canopy. The moon’s light cascaded like liquid silk, weaving through the air and caressing the earth with a tenderness only the divine could bestow.Night-blooming jasmine perfumed the air, their pale petals glowing under the celestial radiance. Trees stretched toward the heavens, their branches adorned with luminescent blossoms, shimmering like captured stardust. And among them stood one tree, ancient and wise, its sprawling limbs sheltering two lovers beneath its embrace.Beneath the ancient willow, Thaneous sat, darkness draped over him like a second skin, his arms locked around the very embodiment of light.Serene.Her silver hair cascaded over her shoulders, strands catching the moonlight as she leaned against him, her laughter soft and melodic, a sound that sent warmth curling through even th
Sera's pov My vision starts turning hazy as the figure continues to devour my blood. A stream of red liquid trails down my neck to wet my shirt. Clenching the metal clanks holding my wrist,I continue to scream. As with each second the pain in my body only intensifies. " Ahhhhhh nooooooo...nooooooooo!" No one came to help. And how will they? The entire castle has been evacuated and the one man I trusted the most. Zander. Was the very one doing it. I understood one thing clearly....he was not in his senses. The death wolf has taken over his body. Or he would have never done something like this. " No...stoppppp.... pleaseeeeeeee" To my surprise the beast stops. Pulling back and I look at his face through my hazy vision. His lips were covered with my blood, eyes blood red and a feral look prominent in his eyes. Moving his lips on his canines,I shiver when I see him fanning his lips on my face. " I am...I am not her...I am not Heratte -" I try to speak. But the
