The Inferno's Claim Freaked Out
Genova dashed out of the school building, running toward the exit with quickened steps, and her heart was not having it either. She felt like she was on the predator’s premises and needed to escape at once before being served on a golden platter. Her head was jumbled in fright and her sight blurry as she made haste to disappear from this place without paying the slightest attention to her surrounding until she bumped into a soft wall. No, it wasn’t a wall but someone. They both found themselves on the hard ground with Genova on top of the latter. “Oh my God, I am so sorry.” She muttered an apology as she quickly got back to her feet and intended to proceed with her escape. But before that could happen, she felt a firm grip that retained her from getting away on her right arm. “Girl. Are you doing all right?” A soft female voice sounded. “No, not at all. I mean, y-yes, thank you. I am sorry for bumping into you,” Genova apologized again, making sure her voice was calm as she could
The Inferno's Claim Impossible Danger
Genova ran as much as her feet could carry her. Unfortunately, she couldn’t outrun the carnivores because their speed and agility were much superior to hers.“Ahh…” A loud shriek tore from her mouth when a sharp claw ripped through her skin just before she was tackled to the ground by one of the beasts. Her vision blurred due to the impact of colliding with the rough surface from the attack. She felt blood dripping from the gash on her left shoulder blade, wetting the ground as the animal loomed over her body, preparing to tear her into shreds. Dread gripped Genova to stare death in the face. Automatic tears she had no control over began pouring down the corner of her eyes. Her heartbeat accelerated like never before and she shut her eyes, knowing there was no escape in this kind of situation. She was cornered from all angles and her attempt to survive earlier had proven to her how fast these assailants were. Genova couldn’t stop the tremor that blanketed her as she lay still and
The Inferno's Claim Dead?
Kaden’s heart leaped when he realized how severe Genova’s condition was. The fact that she was now spewing black substance from her mouth meant one thing: The poison had spread to her bloodstream! He was losing her! She was dying and right on his watch. All be it, no matter the odd, he wouldn’t let that happen. Not when he had just gotten her back after many years apart. Instantaneously, he picked her up, bridal style and began running in the direction she would get help at an inhumane speed. His figure was like a blur as he ran with everything he got to make it to the hospital before it was too late. ‘Karla.’ Kaden yelled for his sister through the mind link. ‘Kaden. Are you ok? I heard about the rogues invading our territory and am on to your location-‘ ‘Please get Sam or Monica. Genova… I am losing her.’ The panic in Kaden’s voice couldn’t be missed. ‘What do you mean ‘you are losing Gen?’ What has she got to do with the rogue attack? What happened to her?’ ‘Get the help
The Inferno's Claim Dead? (2)
“Perhaps we could have had a different outcome if you had not let your emotions get in the way.” A not-so-pleased voice resounded. Karla and Kaden whipped their heads toward the source with mouths wide open. Eva was standing a few feet away from them with one hand on her waist while the other fell languidly beside her. A deep frown was etched on her forehead, making her once alluring face and figure lose the usual demeanor she always had. “Luna.” The siblings exclaimed with shock. “Don’t you ‘Luna’ me now… Start talking!” Eva said curtly as she closed the distance between her and the twins in long strides. “Luna. I-I—"“What in the world did you say took my niece?” Eva cut Kaden off from his stutter by demanding answers about Genova’s whereabouts from the only person who could tell her what she needed to hear. She was not here to listen to anything else order than finding out about the safety of her niece. “I am not sure, Luna. I-I mean, I don’t know what to say… I don’t kn
The Inferno's Claim Bewildered
“Miss Eva.” Monica’s voice rang the moment Eva emerged from the forest with Kaden and Karla hot on her tails. “Did you manage to find out about Gen’s whereabouts? Is she Ok?” Monica bombarded Eva with questions. Her forehead creased when she spotted a messed up-looking Kaden behind Eva. His white t-shirt that hung to his muscular frame had numerous stains that looked like dark sticky ink. But Monica knew better than fall for this assumption. This was someone’s blood that became like this due to toxins such as rogue bites. However, taking a good look at Kaden, the man didn't seem injured in any way. He was in perfect shape!Whose blood could it be then? She wondered. "Are you hurt, Kaden?” Monica questioned even though she could already guess the obvious. Her mind was troubled since Eva called to inquire if Genova had perhaps contacted her. Monica had been away from the estate like she always did from time to time whenever Eva was out for work. Nobody knew where she went, and Eva c
The Inferno's Claim Bewildered (2)
Eva stood frozen at her spot for a long while, pondering what was happening around her. What troubled her most was the fact that Genova was somehow surrounded by many question marks. The girl had managed to draw trouble to herself twice in a span of two days. The first time was her narrow escape from the clutch of a mysterious raging dragon that probably would have roasted her alive had it not been for her timely intervention. Eva had been trying to get information on the creature. She had been trying hard to uncover why it was in her territories using her connection but had yet to be successful. The only person who could have given her answers was Jack because he had lived longer than most supernatural beings -but the man was unreachable. Nobody could initiate a mind link with him unless he wanted them to. Eva wondered why her niece had done nothing but attract trouble since her arrival. Barely a day had passed since the previous incident, and she managed to land herself in ano
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 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
The Inferno's Claim The Confrontation (2)
"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."
The Inferno's Claim Meeting The Pack (2)
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. "Thank you, Brooks," he said while placing a reassuring hand on Genova's back and smiling. "You’ve already met Brooks at school, but allow me to properly introduce him. He&rsquo
