Raul and I stayed cocooned in a comfortable silence for a long while, a privy truce already happening between us. I didn’t see him as the enemy anymore. However, I was still working on separating him from the Queen in my equation of retribution.

“How long are we going to stay here? Aren’t we returning to class?” I asked after sometime, my back already yelling in pain for reclining against the hard wall for a long period of time.

Raul shrugged his shoulders at my question. “It’s not like there will be any class going on. Do you see any professor around? I bet the students are huddled in their classes, wondering what next would go wrong with..”

“With me, you mean….”

Raul gave me an apologetic look, but it was all right. It was understandable. Since we have been here, no students have come close, no teachers too. The fire was still burning. I was sure it had ventured into the other classes. Weren’t they coming to stop it?

“You know you are the only one that can quench that fire….”

  • Nemesis Of The Lycan Triplets   underestimated

    A knock on my door teased my drowsy senses, dragging me from the clutches of the sweet sleep ravaging me. Who dared interrupt my beauty sleep, after I had suffered long minutes to get it?"Sage, are you still sleeping? Get up, sleepy head!"Of course. Who else would have the effrontery? Another person would have dropped in a painful heap on the floor!"Go away, Isla," I commanded, letting myself sink deeper into the wells of dreamless sleep, clutching my pillow tighter.But the bitch kept knocking, like she couldn't hear the threat underlying my command. There was only so much a girl could take."Wake up, Sage…" she sang-sung, knocking in accordance with her cracked music which grated on my nerves. Did she want to lose a tooth?I grunted, cursed out loud, and sat up on the bed, glaring at the shut door, like I could somehow penetrate it and get to my offender. I could, but that's beside the point. Besides, she was my sidekick in this journey of mine."Why are you disturbing me this mo

  • Nemesis Of The Lycan Triplets   El

    A woman's despairing cry echoed in my soul, tearing at me, reprimanding me, reminding me that I was back in the godforsaken dream where I had no control over anything. And that I was starving for blood.Vampire much? Couldn't I hunger for something else? Maybe water or peppered noodles?The words echoed bitterly in my head, sardonic humor masking the hollow ache swelling in my chest.I burst through the rich layers of soil, into the air, my heart thundering in my ears, my mind screaming. And I landed in a crouch in the midst of dense shrubbery and thick vegetation, taking a slow, careful look around me, not in the least concerned about how I could jump out from the ground.I've never been concerned, and I should be. But I wasn't, and that was scary. What was I doing sleeping beneath the soil like the undead?The night was thick here. Dark, heavy, suffocating. My lungs filled with the scent of damp leaves, of earth clinging to my skin like a second layer. Moonlight filtered faintly t

    We saw no one in the wide expanse of land, though it stretched far and was filled with neatly arranged structures of identical size and shape. At first glance, it gave the impression that Isla and I were the very first fighters to arrive, but I knew better. The others were here, hiding in their chambers, cooling their heels, conserving energy until they were called. This silence wasn't absence; it was strategy.Still, the sight of the field stopped me in my tracks.The place was magnificent in its own way, designed with ruthless practicality but touched with pride. This was no ordinary lodging ground—it had been built to house the flood of visitors who came each year for the combats and contests. The stone paths beneath our boots were laid with precision, smooth and wide enough to allow ten men to walk side by side. They gleamed faintly in the dimming light, polished by countless steps, yet untouched by grime. Whoever built this had ensured it would stand the test of time, unyieldin

    "What's this barren existence?" Isla spoke through disgust and contempt, her nose wrinkling as she glared at the land before us. Bare, more than bare—barrenness personified.Although we had come from another area, another angle in the community that allowed the magic of teleportation so our identities remained concealed from the pack, we had still been met with this accursed earth.In the fading sunlight, it looked worse. Lifeless. Hopeless.I pitied the land now really; I could almost hear it groaning, grunting, wishing for an escape from the hands of death and nothingness, decay that clung like rot. "Something the entire pack will be like soon…" I muttered finally, cloaking our voices with magic in case any guard from the pack was loitering about.Isla's eyes dragged from the desolation, landing on me with a flicker of unease. "What happened here though? It's too…""Deathful.""Yes, that." Her lips twisted. "If that's an English word, I think it would best describe this place."She

  • Nemesis Of The Lycan Triplets   overexcitement

    The training field was alive with fire and sparks, and so was my mind. My thoughts kept slipping back to Rachel, to the little bits of confession she'd dropped like pebbles in a pond. She had told me about the brides of the triplets, how they'd been chosen, paraded, displayed like trophies. Her words had carried weight, the kind of weight one wears like chains.And then, when I had asked her quietly, half-jokingly, half-genuinely—if she didn't feel bad about not being with Adam—the words that spilled from her lips had surprised me. "I hate him," she'd said, with a casual shrug.Hate him? My brows had shot up, but I had said nothing, biting the inside of my cheek. What use was there in arguing with such raw truth? If Rachel hated Adam, then maybe that was her shield. Or maybe it was the only way she could breathe free.My mind whirled with images of the brides. I knew them, some faintly, some almost personally. Their laughter, their faces, their proud smiles, their delicate airs—how w

  • Nemesis Of The Lycan Triplets   a meeting III

    If my mind had been buzzing before, it practically roared now. We talked into details about the plan to infiltrate the pack, by gaining the trust of the triplets. The queen had even suggested that I flirt with them if necessary to get the mission done, that she would talk with her son after this so that he wouldn't be taken unawares.Her tone was calm, but her eyes held that glint that told me she wasn't joking—she never joked when it came to strategy. My smirk faltered when she leaned back, fingers drumming the arm of her chair, and began outlining what I had only heard in whispers."The combat season is brutal," she said, voice low, like she was reciting something etched into her bones. "It stretches for two weeks, sometimes longer, depending on how many contestants survive the stages. You win, you advance. You lose, you are cast out. If you survive the bruises, that is."So far, so good. But she wasn't done."The first rounds are simple duels, steel against steel, magic where per
