“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 tRelated chapters

“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 Turning Red
It was a Sunday morning with everyone going about their usual business. Birds chirped from nearby trees and the fallen leaves on the ground rustled as the wind blew wildly.“I understand the girl named Genova Is your friend, correct?” Meredith spoke while looking at Ashly sitting facing her in a coffee shop. “Yes, My Queen. We met at school,” Ashly replied. “Okay then, ensure to remain friends with her for as long as possible. I will need something from you soon enough.” Meredith’s voice was soft. She picked up the small mug containing her black coffee and brought it to her deep shade red lips.Ashly shifted uncomfortably in her seat. “Uhh… that's not a problem, we're already really close, so I believe our friendship will last even if I don't put in so much effort. She’s a sweet soul,” Ashly replied a little shakingly.Meredith lowered the mug down on the table with elegance. “Good! You may take your leave.” Ashly jerked back a little. “That’s… that’s it?” Her voice was laced with

“So, what is it you want to talk about?” Genova questioned as she trailed beside Noah towards the school gates.“Nothing much. I only want the chance to know and be close to you.” Noah placed his arms behind his back. “I am just being a good pupil wanting to introduce myself and officially welcome our school’s brand-new addition.”“But I've been here for a few weeks now; I’m not so brand new anymore,” Genova rolled her eyes, intentionally trying to make things difficult for the dude.“Trust me, Lady, this school has much more to it than that which meets the eye.” Noah grinned.Genova’s lips formed a thin line, pondering his words as they walked toward the car parked outside the gate.“Not bad,” she complimented as soon as she spotted Noah’s black Dodge Viper. “Thanks! Fan of cars I see.”“You could say that agai
The Inferno's Claim The Meeting
The sound of keyboards clicking rapidly could be heard in a dark room. The only source of light that could be seen was that which came out through the laptop screen.On the laptop's screen were Genova’s X-rays the Doctor who treated her had taken after the accident at the Tennis Court. “Fascinating!” He muttered as he viewed the images displayed on his screen. “That ball had a significant impact on this female’s skull. It left a severe crack.” He rubbed his chin and leaned back on his seat.“How did she survive this? And it was only a tennis ball; what kind of inhuman power threw it?”The Doctor continued rubbing his chin while his head ran wild with numerous possibilities. He had seen so many things and been through enough experiences to know that supernatural beings existed in their world - thus making him a believer in the hidden world. The only thing he needed was proof to validate his assumptions.

~SIX YEARS AGO~“State your business here or so help me, Goddess!” Eva snarled. Her battle teeth elongated as thick fur started to replace her once smooth skin.“Hahahaha...” A cloaked figure standing in front of her laughed and slowly raised her left index finger toward her. “I've only come to pass a warning, child, for only through you will this world become what it is meant to be...” The cloaked figure said."WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU ON ABOUT?" Eva scowled as a bolt of lightning struck the clouds, followed by a loud rumble of thunder.The cloaked figure laughed once more. "Those who dare to defy Fate's predetermined course. Fangs and claws will tear apart flesh from bone and soul from heart. Her path is paved with both joy and adversity. With loss and gain, through tears and smiles. And on the day she closes her eyes, death will be the end of the world."With that, the cloaked figure vanished into the darkness, leavi
The Inferno's Claim Dinner (1)
Dark clouds floated by in the night sky, and the rays of moonlight shone over the city, giving it a mysterious ambiance.A shadowy figure, resembling a gargoyle, could be seen sitting atop a tall building.His silky raven hair billowed along with the cold wind, and his black eyes with silver rings, although seemingly emotionless, glimmered like lightning under the night hues.Rising from the cozy sofa he was crouched on, he moved toward the edge of the building and dropped down as though gravity was his starting point. *******It was early Friday morning. The wind was chilly, and birds chirping could be heard from a distance. Students wandered around aimlessly, going in different directions and murmuring about their businesses.Genova hurried towards her class holding some books in her hand and her bag hanging around her neck.
The Inferno's Claim Dinner (2)
True to her word, Meredith sent the address a short time later. Genova quickly dressed up and rushed out of her room. She hurried downstairs with her bag slung over her shoulder, hurrying past the dining room where Eva and Zoe sat.“Gen! Where are you off to in such a hurry?” Eva inquired halting Genova in her tracks. “Oh forgive my manners, aunt, I almost didn’t see you there,” Genova mouthed with a weary smile. “I’m off to have dinner with a friend.” “Ooooh, a friend? Is this friend by any chance that boy you told me about?” Eva teased, wiggling her eyebrows suggestively.Genova averted her gaze to hide her blush, especially from Zoe's enquiring gaze as she sipped her orange juice.“That's not it, aunt. It's just a nice lady from work named Meredith," Genova explained.Meredith? Eva’s eyes brows draw together. Why did that name ring a bell? Or was it because she had never come across anyone else with that name other than the High Queen? Though she has never met the latter, the en
The Inferno's Claim She Snapped
“See you guys later!” Genova yelled as she got into the car which door was held open for her. “Have fun!” Eva yelled back, while Zoe just rolled her eyes and pointedly ignored Genova as they silently watched the car drive away.“You do realize that the guy your precious Gen is going out with is the Alpha and heir to the largest wolf pack in the city, right?” Zoe spoke while making their way back into the house."Does it really make a difference? Their friendship will strengthen the bond between the two packs and improve our alliance in the event of a threat."“Whatever you say, Mom.” Zoe huffed. “I wouldn’t trust that guy,” she added before storming into the house and slamming the door shut behind her. Her mother was free to continue having her delusions; it was not her problem.-----Genova sat back in Noah's pricey Mustang, enjoying the view of the city rushing by and bubbling with excitement. This was her first date with a boy. She was expecti

“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 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

~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.
