The Inferno's Claim A Possible Danger
‘Forgive me if this might come off disrespectful to you, High Queen. But should there ever come a day I am required to choose between you and His Highness… I hope you know where my loyalty stands.’Dominic’s words played in the High Queen’s head as she watched his figure disappear behind the door. His statement clearly showed his unwavering loyalty toward her son and implied that she was throwing him into a difficult situation. She also knew Dominic valued their relationship but would ultimately prioritize his allegiance to the Prince should the day ever come when his stand would be put to the test. An incomprehensible emotion flashed in her eyes but was quickly gone before anyone could see it. Whatever emotions swelled within her that moment… whatever it was, she was a master at masking it all up as her expression returned to one that couldn’t be read. Her gaze went to the glass that was still half filled with red liquid momentarily before averting them to stare at the middle of
The Inferno's Claim Moira
“What do I owe this visit, Fae Queen?” The woman asked, then continued humming and rocking herself on the chair. “Did you know?” “You might want to elaborate on that question, Zelda. And hello to you too, long time no see.” “Don’t act ignorant now, Moira. Nothing goes beyond your knowledge in this world.” Zelda scoffed as she moved to make herself comfortable on the only available seat she could find inside the single-room wooden cottage. It was also a wooden chair like the one Moira was seated on, with a small wooden table standing between them. Behind Moira was a double bed for her to sleep in, and the fireplace was on the other end of where Zelda sat. These three things were the only furniture found in the room. Zelda glanced around the place that hadn’t changed since the last time she was there and shook her head. “If I didn’t know better, I would think you were banished from civilization to settle in the mountains. How else do you explain what a former Queen is doing living
The Inferno's Claim First Step
“Okay, all seems to be going well so far. I don't think the incident from room 100011 will affect my stay here...” Genova muttered and sighed as she stood in front of the door to another room with a cart handle in her grasp. On this particular cart was a bottle of wine she was asked to deliver to one of the rooms in the hotel.It had been two days since her first day at the hotel, and no one had aired out the event she had stumbled upon on her first day. This time, she made no mistake in knowing the exact room she was supposed to go to, as she had made inquiries on how the number system worked in the hotel.As she pushed the cart past some doors in the lobby, the memory of her interview came to her mind.The hotel was indeed a luxurious place. Everyone was friendly and minded their business, but something about the place felt a little off. Genova wondered if she felt this way because of how Ashley reacted to her working at the bar or if her guts were giving her signs. Warning signs,
The Inferno's Claim The Unsolved Mystery
“Luna…” Kaden scratched his head, contemplating whether or not to ask the question in his mind. “Ermm… How exactly did Gen get back home?” Kaden finally found the courage to ask as he moved to stand beside Eva, who stood in front of a large painting hanging on the broad wall before them. The room was poorly lit, making the painting blurred due to the shadow cast over it. But whatever was on the painting… it seemed essential to Eva as she stood ever so still in front of it, staring like it had some connection to her past. As if she was trying to decipher a hidden message. The longer she stared, the more her mind raced with memories and emotions that seemed to be triggered by the artwork.About three feet from them was Karla. Eva sighed, not missing the confusion in Kaden’s tone. “Honestly, I am also clueless about this matter. I have been trying to wrap my head around the fact that just as she showed up unconscious in her room, Monica lays dead in front of my car a few minutes later
The Inferno's Claim Zoe (2)
“Hurrr!” Genova yawned as she stretched all four limbs across her large, soft bed. “Finally… It's the weekend!” She exclaimed with a broad smile on her face.Quickly jumping out of her bed, she hurried for the bathroom as fast as she could while muttering, “Can’t be late. Can’t be late. Can’t be late” till she stood in front of the massive mirror inside the huge modern bathroom.She steadily passed her toothbrush around her dental, doing her best to get that early morning breath out.She took the brush out of her mouth a few seconds later, turned the tap on for water and raised her face towards the bathroom's ceiling to gargle.As she swung her head back down to get rid of the water in her mouth, her line of view passed by the mirror, and a dark image suddenly appeared but vanished as quickly as it came.Genova had failed to notice at first as her face went down again to spit out the wa
The Inferno's Claim The Challange
“So here we are, the city park. What do you think about the place, Gen?” Eva asked with a huge smile as she rested both her fists on opposite sides of her waist."I think it's absolutely stunning and it certainly is large," Gen replied, gazing at the picturesque scenery that surrounded them. "Also, the view is breathtaking, and the fresh air is so invigorating." She stayed silent momentarily and then asked, “But what exactly would we be doing here?”Eva placed her right thumb and index finger on her chin, looking around for signs of fun. As she rotated her head, she saw that the people there were either playing board games, tennis or volleyball. There were plenty of activities to choose from, which was a relief because this meant the girls wouldn’t get bored during their time here.Observing the area some more, she spotted a small wooden cottage standing at the far end of the park.Eva stared at the cabin briefly before s
The Inferno's Claim Unfinished Business
The ball fell to the ground, leaving a round mark on Genova's forehead. Genova soon followed suit, falling to the ground with a loud thud and immediately going unconscious.“Someone, call an ambulance!!” A man yelled from within the crowd as people began to gather around the unconscious girl.“Gen. Come on wake up, Gen!!” Ashly repeatedly yelled, shaking Genova's hand in an attempt to wake her up.On the other hand, Zoe stood still at the other end of the table, holding her racket tightly and watching as everyone surrounded Genova.She had this terrified look on her face like she had just killed a person. Maybe she did. Her mind wasn't clear anymore as the only words that played in her head were, “What have I done?”~Meanwhile~Eva slowly approached the wooden shack as if something subconsciously called her. Getting to the front door, she pushed it open slowly and walked in.The once sunny day t
The Inferno's Claim Vulnerable
“And where exactly have you been?” A male voice sounded as Ashley walked into her house, holding her bag and shoes in her hand.The room was dark and shadowy with only small glimmerings of red light hanging from the ceiling. The person the voice seemed to have come from was sitting on a long round couch in what appeared to be the living room.“How's that any of your business Dominic? I'm old enough to go out wherever I want,” Ashly replied a little irritated. Dominic got up from the couch and let out a long sigh. “There have been recent sightings of Rouges around the hotel and in different parts of the city. My duty as your elder brother is to protect you from harm, but you're making it really hard for me by sneaking in and out of the house whenever you feel like it.” He continued, “I understand that you want to have fun and explore the city, but please be cautious and stay away from areas where Rouges have been spotted

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
