The Inferno's Claim The Confession (1)
Eva searched through her contact lists for Mary’s number and was about to press the call button when a familiar figure suddenly materialized in front of her. The phone fell from her hand as a loud gasp escaped her throat. Before her was Monica’s battered silhouette lying slumped on the rough ground. Her once neat and wrinkle-free cream-colored dress was soaked in blood with ugly gashes all over her once smooth olive skin. “Monica.” Eva rushed toward the wounded lady and squatted next to her. Even though their previous argument left a bad taste in her heart, she couldn't just stand by and watch the same female who had helped her a great deal suffer like this without doing something to help her. “What happened to you, Monica? How the hell did you get hurt this badly?” “Miss Eva. I am s-sorry for speaking t-the I d-did e-earlier—” “Stop talking and tell me how I should help you.” Eva barked in worry. She wiped the blood from the latter’s mouth with her sleeve with a deep frown etc
The Inferno's Claim The Confession (2)
[Other than bringing you together, every one of my following plans was futile]Monica paused before picking up again, [You were innocent in all of this, Miss Eva. It is unfortunate that you had to be entangled in a conspiracy you are clueless about. Seeing how unrestrained he was with you that day, I felt somewhat sorry for you. Your cries of agony made my selfish heart bleed with guilt for the first time] Eva felt more nonplused than before. She couldn't make sense of Monica’s words because she had a different version of her first time with her deceased mate. To her, it was a night filled with the utmost pleasure and delight—one she will never forget. She recalled struggling at first due to how barbaric Damon looked, yet she was glad he didn’t give in to her request. Hence, Monica’s words contradict everything she thought she knew. As though reading her inner monologue, Monica continued—[I know what you think you experienced but that is far from the truth, Miss Eva. Your first t
The Inferno's Claim A Talk With Jack
Eva leaned her back on the car behind with arms folded across her chest while staring blankly at the motionless body on the floor. Her mind kept replaying Monica’s words before life eventually left the evildoer. [You might think the worse of me for everything I have done. But tell me, Miss Eva, would you have been able to live a happy life without the one you love? Would you have been able to move on with the fact that he was within your reach yet miles apart? On several occasions, I tried connecting with him… but guess what, he didn’t know who I was. He didn’t remember me or the life we once had. Tell me, Miss Eva, how come life was so lenient toward everyone else except me?]Eva propped herself up and began to pace in small circles. She had lost track of how much time had passed while she stood there staring at the woman she once regarded as her family. Monica’s corps deteriorated the instant she drew her last breath. Anyone who saw her now would never come to the idea that it wa

Gen, we are going to be late. There’s hardly time enough to have breakfast; what’s keeping you in your room?” Eva called out from where she sat at the dining table after glancing at her watch. “Coming…” Genova took one last glance at herself in the mirror, picked up her bag and hurried out of her room. “Shit, I am really going to be late,” she muttered as she sprang through the flight of stairs to reach the living room before taking a sharp turn to the dining area. “Thanks for your patience, aunt. I honestly lost track of time – my bad.” Genova muttered apologetically. “Well, we aren’t exactly behind schedule just yet. There’s still a chance we will make it in time if we leave now—” Eva broke off when she lifted her head from her tablet to look at the young lady before her. “Is there something special happening at your school today?” She was forced to ask because this was the first time her niece had cleaned up so nicely. Of course, Genova always had a good sense of fashion, but
The Inferno's Claim Noah
Geneva yawned and stretched her limbs after having a tedious morning. She had done nothing but go from one lesson to the other and thankfully, she could finally get a breather. It was midday; time to get something in her empty and growling stomach. “I am going to beat up whoever made this strenuous timetable—four freaking hours of cracking out brains without a hiatus. My butt feels numb from all those hours of being stuck to my seat,” Ashly’s angry voice rumbled as soon as the teacher packed up his things and left the classroom. Genova chuckled. Ashly was the girl she had bumped into on her first day while making her escape from the villainess-turned-bestie. Unlike Jasmine, Ashly was talkative and the tallest in her small group of friends. She was like a supermodel with a size (8) body, more than 177cm height, long legs, shoulder-length black compact hair, Marble Gray eyes, C-cup implanted boobs and an unbelievably tiny waist. In other words, the girl got a banging body that makes m
The Inferno's Claim A Protective Tigress
Lunch was done and the girls were ready to proceed with the rest of the day. “I will be skipping my last class for today as I have got too much on my plate.” Irene suddenly announced. Genova was surprised. "I thought you would accompany me to the hotel and help me prepare for the interview. I mean… that was the initial plan, right?” “Yes! It was until I received a message earlier to begin an early shift,” Irene responded curtly. "I am sorry, Gen, but you will have to make it there on your own. Almost every taxi around knows the location. The Fortier Hotel—” “No need! I will bring her,” Ashly cut in sharply. "It is what I should do, after all, I had recommended her this job. And I am not about to leave her right when she’s in desperate need of someone’s guidance.” “Okay.” Irene sighed with relief, intentionally ignoring the malice lacing Ashly’s words. "When do you have to be there for the interview again?” “3:30 pm,” Genova answered. "All right, I will be there to assist you.
The Inferno's Claim Show Off
~The time was finally 3: 00 pm~ “All set?” Ashley asked as she moved to stand beside Genova’s desk. “Yeah, just a minute; I need to put these away then we are good to go,” Genova replied while shutting down the PC on her desk and placing the rest of her stuff inside her bag. She brushed strands of hair behind her ear and blew a deep breath. "Done, we can leave now.” Ashly stared at her face for a moment and then nodded. She could tell the poor girl was a nervous wreck about her interview. It was nothing unexpected, especially when her interviewer would be one of the most reputable companies globally. They walked silently toward the School’s main exit where Ashly’s train of bodyguards was stationed. Genova always wondered why a young female such as Ashly would need this many bodyguards. What harm could they be protecting her from? A bulky guy looking like one of those bodybuilders in fitness centers stepped forward the instant Ashly’s figure appeared from behind the large black
The Inferno's Claim Room 100011
“The hell I am letting my friend work in that department.” Ashly bellowed. Genova was quick to step in before her friend brought down the building with her screams. "Calm down, Ashly,” she said. "Besides, what's so bad about serving at the bar? I have worked in a coffee shop for two years—” “No, you don't understand. This offer is bad for you, Gen. It’s terrible! You won't be able to handle the tasks that come with it. Such a job will ruin you; you will be required to serve the—” "Lady Ashly!” Tony’s voice cut in before Ashly could blurt more than she should. Ashly quickly shut her mouth, realizing what she had almost done. She had forgotten that Genova was human and almost revealed their secret unknowingly. Damn it, this was her problem. She talked too much, the same as her temper that flared too quickly. “What will I be required to do? Is it something I won't like?” Genova inquired inquisitively. She thought Ashly was acting strange and even said strange things she couldn't mak

The Inferno's Claim The New Guy
“Will you two quit with the saliva exchange? It's grouse!” Irene pouted at the two who had been eating each other's lips for no less than ten minutes in the school garden. “Look away if it gives you an eyesore!” Genova said drily. “Whatever!” Irene rolled her eyes irritatedly. “Break is over; we still have classes to attend. I suggest you either take this somewhere private or continue when you get home and focus on making sure you make it to the final exam. I will leave you two to it either way.” With that, she pushed herself off the wall her back rested on and proceeded to the lecture hall. “I should go,” Genova said while wriggling out of Noah’s limbs. “But I don’t want you to leave.”“Come on, Noah, it is only for two more hours.”“Who knows if your dad will prevent us from seeing each other again?” Noah pointed out. “I am not going back there again!” Genova felt rage building inside her as she recollect how her dad had slapped her. He went too far! “But I will leave for
The Inferno's Claim The Announcement
"Gen!“Genova’s angry steps halted to hear her name. She turned her head to the side and saw the familiar figure hiding behind the bush of roses that stood as a fence outside the condo.“Irene!?” Genova was surprised. “What are you doing here? I mean… how did you find this address?”“Come quick. I will answer your questions once we have fully escaped your parents,” Irene said, beckoning her friend to hurry towards her.“I heard the little argument between you and your dad. Are you alright?” Irene asked as they moved in long strides toward the flashy car parked just a couple of feet away from them.It looked familiar. However, Genova couldn’t point out where she had seen the vehicle before.“Yeah, I am good! Let's just get away from here,” Genova responded.“Sure! Someone is dying to meet you!” Irene smirked.&nbs
The Inferno's Claim Enforcing Measures
A police car with two officers in the front seat drove through a narrow path in the early morning hours. They were completely absorbed by the blaring old-school tune on the radio."How's your daughter doing at school, Jerry?" The officer in the driver's seat inquired as he deftly maneuvered the car around a sharp turn. "I'd say she's making commendable progress for a girl who once despise opening a book. I just hope she doesn't deviate from her intended path in life." The officer named Jerry responded casually."Isn't that what we all want for our kids?" The driver laughed.They were completely at ease as they drove down the road, completely unprepared for the unexpected obstacle that brought their journey to an abrupt halt. A dark, bedraggled and hungry figure suddenly appeared out of the blue. "Watch out, Kent!" Jerry yelled, causing the police car to skid to a halt just yards away from the enigmatic silhouette.“Phew!” Kent exclaimed almost breathlessly, "That was close. But wha
The Inferno's Claim Forming Alliance
The car soon pulled up in front of an unfamiliar condo. Ferd killed the engine and stormed out with the car door slammed behind him. Genova was quick to follow suit. She dragged her feet on the floor, fearing the worse was yet to come.Chills run down her spine the moment she stepped inside the house and saw the silhouette seated on the brown leather couch and tapping her foot on the floor. Just great! Her mom was also here. ‘I am so done for!’ Genova muttered to herself as she closed the gap between herself and her parents."Mom." She mumbled meekly, keeping her gaze fixed on the ground."Don't you mom me now! Do you have any idea what you've gotten yourself into?"“I am sorry,” was the only words Genova could say. "Sorry isn't going to cut it, honey. I understand that you are of legal age for these things, but I expected you to finish your education before having such thoughts. Even if you couldn't control your desires, you could have at least settled for our kind," Mary voiced
The Inferno's Claim The Unexpected Guest (2)
Genova felt chills run down her spine at the aura emitting from her father. It looked like a murder was about to take place judging from how irate he seemed at this moment. She scurried to her feet, her heart racing with panic. "Dad! You… y-you are here?!” Genova stuttered. Noah’s lips formed a thin line to see her look so scared. Did she not have any trust in him to handle the situation? Also, why was her dad acting like he had committed a grave sin by fucking his daughter? Admittedly, this was nothing unexpected from an overly-protective father. But wasn’t the man the same as him? What about the woman he had been fucking all his life? Did he forget how she was also someone’s daughter as well? "Come here, babe." Noah ordered in a gentle tone while stretching out his arms. However, a frown graced his face when Genova shook her head and carefully took steps back.Ferd's expression darkened even more.How dare this useless bastard ignore him like this?He took a step forward to gra

"Alpha!“ Brooks' voice could be heard as he approached Noah, who had just arrived at the breakfast table with an exhausted-looking Genova.It’s been over three weeks since she got claimed and introduced to the pack and Noah barely gave her any breather. He had been all over her flesh at any given opportunity.Genova hadn't returned home since then.“We got word from the Great City. It’s an invitation to the Century’s combat that is to hold in a few months,” Brooks informed.“The Century’s Combat…?!” Noah’s eyes went large. “That’s… That’s huge! And our pack is invited?” he had to ask in order to make sure he heard it right.“Yes, Alpha! According to the invitation, the Alpha of 'Night's Walker's Pack is expected to attend with his mate and high-ranking members," Brooks confirmed.Noah gave a nod. "I am honored to have been invi

"I see," Meredith said quietly. "It appears we are on the same page, son. I was right to believe you wouldn't want someone like her to carry on your legacy. A power-hungry bitch's offspring is not welcome in my home!!"Meredith's words hung in the air as it was filled with a mix of conviction and disappointment. The gravity of the situation was palpable as she acknowledged the shared understanding between them.It was a relief for her to know that her son also recognized the potential dangers that lay in allowing someone with such a voracious appetite for power to carry forward their family name. The legacy they had built together held great significance, and Meredith's unwavering belief in its sanctity was evident.She made it clear that there was no room for the offspring of someone driven solely by ambition within the walls of their home. The weight of her words emphasized her commitment to preserving their heritage and ensuring that it would be passed
The Inferno's Claim The Confrontation (1)
~Back in the Great City~Meredith sat on her opulent patio, her gaze fixed on the breathtaking sunset. The cool evening air encirc1led her like a warm embrace.A darkened presence suddenly approached from behind as she savored the peace."Don’t just stand there Vernon, come and sit with me," she spoke to him in an amused tone without turning her head."Even as a child, you were always trying to sneak up on me. But no magical shielding could keep your presence from my senses, my boy... You should be aware of this by now."Vernon simply raised an eyebrow in response. He remained silent, his face guarded and distant as he approached slowly and took a seat next to his mother.Meredith was concerned and wistful as she observed her son's cold demeanor. "You've grown so far away, Vernon," she remarked softly. "I've always tried to be there for you, but you've erected barriers between us. You’ve built walls around yourself."

Genova's eyes widened in awe to behold the grandeur of the estate. The mansion stood as a testament to the highest power within the pack.“Woah! Is this your home?” she asked to be sure."Yes. And soon... it will be our home Gen. A place where we'll build our life together." Noah said.Genova’s head began running wild with ideas of a perfect life and future together. What would they be doing most of the time? Would their relationship remain this rosy?A familiar figure opened the car's passenger door from the outside, allowing Genova to glide out.Brook’s eyes gleamed with respect as he lowered himself in a deep bow before his Alpha.Noah nodded appreciatively at Brook's gesture as an acknowledgment to his loyal friend.
