“Do you have any updates from the frontier?” I asked the moment I opened the wooden door leading to the headquarters.
But instead of an answer, a woman with her long red hair raised her head and gave out a contemptuous glare at me. “I have.”
“What is it?”
“Hmm,” she sneered and placed both her palm on the table afore her, forming a mocking vibe towards me. “You don’t have to know. Unless… you became the Luna.”
I scowled at her and slapped the glass table between us. My lips automatically smirked arrogantly as I tilt

A storm of arrows was buzzing and fizzing through the sky. A blizzard of spears was shrilling and slicing through. Battering and beating the enemies under a sunless empyrean. A lesion of lodestar-bright light illuminated the benighted sky. The battleground became slimy with intestines scattered and greasy with gore. Titian-red blood spurted from their wounds as men wailed and screamed. Sounds of bones were snapping and shattering as a flood of horrendous rebels broke the lines of defenses. The effluvium of death was all around. The battlefield had been baptized in blood and the bitter, mordant perfume of corpses emanated from it. This is the scenario I see afore me. I can’t define it even more than a single word… This is horror.&n

“I have built walls around me for years to stop this stupid thing called ‘mates’. I didn’t expect this to happen any sooner than I expected.”“Maybe there was a reason why he forced you out. Maybe because… like you, he has something to protect. I-I don’t think he’s that bad.” You think?“What if you try loving him back, Denise?” Hearing that, I chuckled. “How about you? Why don’t you try loving your mate back?”“Hey, it is your matter. Not mine. We have different situations, Denise. Don’t change the course,” she grumped and tightened the bandage intentionally, making me exclaim in pain. “Get it?” I nodded and diverted my eyes to the vast mountains afore the opened window. “I don’t trust people I just bumped at. I don’t want to trust mates particularly.”“But at least try to?” she repeated. My mouth shut. “Maybe it could be the one healing the scars of the past.”“I don’t want to take a risk, Sydney,” I quickly replied. “I’ve had enough damage w

Third Person’s POV The warm breeze swift past through her long blue-tainted hair. The sound of sea waves crashing through the rocks by the shore made the place so calming. There were no destructive bombings, no clashing of blades, and no cries that fills the air. Just like the first time he brought her here. She was wearing a flowing dress. There is this golden tinted lace that was encircling her neck and which holds the fabric covering her chest. On her arms wrapped a long blue silken fabric that extends down to the ground. It was of different shades of blue. From darker on top and then it became lighter as it strides down to the ground. There wer

The open place was filled with mourning cries. Of heartbreaking screams and desolations. The once vast field only occupied by grasses was now columned with stones engraved with names and numbers. Not hundreds but thousands of tombstones. The war may have ended a few days ago but it left too much scars and wounds still bleeding. Nightshade lost half of its population and has its economy shattering.“Have you sent the letter?” Zaetron’s sister, Nevaeh, asked. The Alpha nodded in reply, not quitting his eyes off the people on the field.“Do you think this was part of Father’s expectation?” Zaetron asked her.His sister tappe

Alright?” My son grinned with all his teeth showing out and his thumb pointed up. “I’m always a good boy, aren’t I?” I gathered up a deep breath as my eyes closed, taking out the patience I have. “No, everybody knows you’re not.” He got all his facial features from me, but his temper and attitude? He resembles a lot like hers! Keith frowned and jumped down from Nevaeh’s arms. “I know,” he agreed. “Can I come with you instead?” His deceiving pleading eyes emerged as his

Third Person’s POV“Dad, psst.” Zaetron gently raised his hand towards the grand desk in excuse when Keith again tugged his tux. With his son seated on his side, he has to bend down to level his face.“What?” An hour had passed when they arrived here at the council’s manor. As for this time, only the Alphas of Abberant, Madfur, Nightshade, and Sanguine were present. And just like the conference last year, all were wearing their suit to their own satisfaction.Marco Czeslaw of Sanguine pack wears this white-colored sleeve opened with three buttons, topped with a black suit, and partnered with dark trousers.

“The intrusion of the vampires on the Kitezh part has risen up since the last attack inflicted by Abberant and Sanguine,” the second Panel alluded. “Have the both of you known that the vampire territory in the west was now uninhabited?” The three Panels were now grilling Diego Alfarro and Marco Czeslaw being the alphas of the said packs. Referring to the incident that dates back two decades ago. The war between the vampiric Daghum territory against Sanguine pack that almost dragged in a quarter of another vampiric territory, the Sinandaya. That battle was then followed by the Abberant pack’s sequential ambush attacks to several vampire towns along Sinandaya territory, causing the kingdom’s total fallout by the second year. And now, Sinandaya kingdom was nowhere to be seen. As if it had disappeared like a popped bubble.“Abberant will only stop at attacks if vampire mutineers would surrender in the Senate,” Diego answered frankly, sitting straight and chin up. Seri

*Three Years Ago I gasp for air as I got up from sleep. Around me were pieces of furniture, the ceiling and the walls were painted deep blue. My eyes roamed all over the place and a heap of fear and panic arose inside of me. There was nothing in my head but questions and scruples. What happened to me?Where am I? Who am I?“Miss Adri—Sir Jarred!!!” My eyes widened in fusing terror and agony when a woman suddenly yelled as soon as the door flung open. She quickly ran away and a few minutes later, she came back with a man beside her. His hair was tainted blue on its tips and was messily brushed up. His eyes were copper brown and his nose was convex straight. I closed my eyes and tried to remember who I am and who this is, but there is nothing that I see. I don’t recall anything. I cannot understand myself. What happened to me?“Adri?” the man uttered. Extending his arms trying to touch my shoulders but I quickly bac

“Hakbang, alisto!” Yells the highest guard personnel in full authority, raising his riffle with its chamber on his shoulder level. He stood in the hold, full of power and control over all the high-skilled patrols. He wears this suit of blue and a red sash-like crossing over his shoulder and on it pinned different crests that, perhaps, represent the high rank he’s in.“Saje, shuwa, taddo!” With the count of the high guard, the terrifying banging of the drums filled the wide court hall. The drum was made out of vertically narrow lengths of wood with a slightly beveled edge to form its torso. Animal skin, probably, is stretched over the torso and was tightened with a rope.

“No.” I step back away from her. “I got what you need. This, right?” My hand quickly grabbed the scroll from my pocket and showed it to her. “Bring back my memories and I’ll give you the scroll.” But she just sneered at me and held the tip of the scroll with her finger. “I can get the scroll even without your mere help, Denise. Between the two of us, you need help more than I do.” Her hand moved and stroked the air, delivering a swift wind that immediately snatched the thing out of my grip.“Your mother… has agreed to this when she left for that man.” The moon goddess treaded, closing our distance. She lifted her hand and brushed my cheek with the back of her fingers. “You are a child of

“The sea will not leave and it will not be the last moment we could watch the sunrise together.”“This time you’re not just an imagination anymore. I see you alive and breathing, Soleil.” I tightly closed my eyes and shook my head multiple times hearing those words on repeat inside my head. Not getting my sight off the thing in my hands, I clutched it tighter. The old brown paper and the ancient letterings imprinted on it. The engraved figure of a dragon crossing the crescent moon clasping the rolled paper in place, the emblem of Nightshade. I finally got the venturi scroll. The reason I sneaked in the headquarters of

Interesting… I leaned my back on the wooden wall while I’m up the wooden beam on the ceiling of the room. Underneath my sight were familiar faces I may have seen somewhere. A woman with short blue tinted hair. And a man with darkened ones, a mustache was on his face. and of course, there’s this guy whom I do not understand who he is to me. Been said that I’m his mate but…“You attempted to kill your first born but he’s been rescued by someone who sees him as a tool he could use.

Zaetron’s POV Marcus met me as I closed the door to the room where Soleil was in. I have already unclasped all chains on her after confirming it was really Denise Soleil. Every exit equals to four ranked patrol warriors guarding. And to her current state, it will be hard for her to get away if she’s planning to escape.“Letters are already sent by Ferisha to Shadowstone. Sooner or later, they will be here. What are you planning to say to them?” he asked when we reached the furren corridors of the mansion leading to the headquarters. I nodded. “What are the things you’ve discovered? Aside from her fake identity as Jarred’s sister?”“Trist
Melancholy: The Inception Chapter 47: Why?
“Who are you?” His terrorizing tone sends chills on my spine, adding his piercing killer eyes that slay with just a single stare. His hand wrapped around my neck stiffened that I hardly breathe and all I could do was push his hand away. He’s killing me. Is this the way he usually asks? Or perhaps, a start of his interrogation?“Answer me!” Zaetron growled and his grip tightens, making me gasp and wheeze. Stupid! How would I answer if he’s not letting me go!“Daddy, please don’t hurt mommy!” I heard Keith scream and saw him run towards the man’s legs and wrapped his tiny arms around Zaetron’s leg. “Daddy, I don’t want her to leave us again,” he muttered with his voice cracking. Even if I can’t see him clearly, I know his eyes were now starting to wail up. His voice was pleading, begging… Unexpectedly, hastily as a dash of the wind, I found myself falling down from his grip. And my body crashed like a withered vegetable on the rocky grou

Chapter 46: Out of the angleThird Person’s POV Palacio di Bulan (Moon’s Palace); A century ago“Avanti!” Palacio di Bulan is a mystical mass of land that floats beneath the space between the earth and the moon. At the center lies a temple that nothing occupies but millions of celosia cristata flowers glowing azure and lilac with a pond in it as the moon’s light darts upon. On the temple’s left side stands a huge castle. It was of marble that reflects the light of the moon. There was a broken brick bridge by the arch entrance that seems like it has been cut intentionally. Like there has to be its other half left behind. There were two cylindrical towers standing on the gate’s sides parted by walls that were engraved with windows. On the inner side was the mansion that was even taller than the entrance towers. Around lives dozens of green trees and on their branches hang lurches and vines of jade plant. Down lingers its blue flowers that resem

I pulled the fabric on my chin to cover half of my face as I kept my foot attached firm on the highest branch of the tree beside the gushing river of Amtala. It’s almost midday as I have promised Keith. The forest was quiet and lucid as usual. By far I have not seen anything suspicious as is. I was about to lunge down when a tiny voice caught my ears.“Mommy?” A little boy wearing a simple brown shirt and loose blue pants was running towards the tree I’m on. His dark hair tainted red on its tips looks like a fireball dashing if I am to see his head only. I quickly leaped to meet him and a wide smile crept on his face
