*****

As soon as Asher arrived at the meeting point to discuss the traffickers, Captain Lewis waved him over. Her eyes gleamed brightly as she clasped him on the shoulder, her fingers squeezing gently as she shook him. "You did it, Fishman," she said, clearly thrilled. "I told you your skills would come in handy. Look at this masterpiece!" She pointed to the area he had marked out on the map, surrounding the areas where the kids had gone missing.

"The camp we found is just a few miles away from Ravenwood," Captain Lewis explained. "So, you see, you broke this one, Asher." Asher forced a smile, pleased that his hunch about the location had proven correct. He hoped they would find the missing children upon arrival.

Captain Lewis called out to the team, "Listen up, everyone! Gear up and get ready. We leave for Ravenwood in five. Asher, you're leading the team on this mission." Asher felt self-aware, glancing around to see if anyone showed signs of disapproval. As the youngest

    Chapter: 10******The sound of slicing flesh, his mother's cries, and the feeling of helplessness that had haunted him for years all came rushing back. Asher's gaze was transfixed on the masked figure, his mind reeling with thoughts and fears. Was this the same person who had killed his mother? The same person who had haunted his dreams for years and filled his mind with all sorts of emotions, things he dared not speak of out loud.The figure's movements were mechanical, and detached, as if they were performing a task that required no emotion. Asher felt a cold sweat break out on his forehead, and he unconsciously wiped it away with his sleeve. He realized he was witnessing something truly evil, yet he couldn't look away. Just like he hadn't looked away from behind the couch where he hid while the killer murdered his mother.Asher was frozen in place, his eyes locked onto the figure as they continued their gruesome work. His mind screamed at him to run, to escape, but his body seemed

  • The Seduction Of The Damned.   THE SAFETY IN HIS EMBRACE.

    Chapter: 11 ***** Asher's eyes fluttered closed as he drifted off to sleep, the soft hum of the nightlight beside his bed a comforting presence. His sister, Emily, was already asleep, her tiny chest rising and falling with each gentle breath. Asher had just tucked her in, whispering a soft goodnight in her ear. But the tranquility was short-lived. The sound of crashing and shouting erupted from the living room, making Asher's heart sink. He knew that sound, knew what it meant. His father's rage was a familiar demon, one that haunted their home with relentless frequency. Asher's eyes snapped open, and he threw off the covers, his heart racing with fear. He rushed to Emily's bed, shaking her awake with an urgency that brooked no argument. "It's time to play our favorite game," he whispered, trying to keep his voice steady. But Emily's eyes welled up with tears, and she began to cry, her tiny body trembling with fear. Asher scooped her up, cradling her in his arms as he rushed t

  • The Seduction Of The Damned.   SIN.

    Chapter: 12 ***** If there was one thing he had never done in his life, it was to abandon his duty to tend to something less important. However, in this case, what he had left his duty for was significantly more important than the responsibility he had been trained to carry out his entire life. The night was as quiet as usual when he arrived at the penthouse of his target. He placed his duffle bag down and knelt to crack the code on the door. It was easy—the simplest task, breaking through codes no matter how strong. Just as Kaidën unlocked the door and stepped into the dark space, his ‘Asher Alarm’ began to blare. This was not something he could ignore. He abandoned his duty, left the penthouse, and rushed to his vehicle, where he found the tracker he had placed in Asher's phone beeping red in an unfamiliar location. Knowing he had to understand why Asher had gone to a place like that, Kaidën grabbed his phone and called the one person who could provide him with the information h

  • The Seduction Of The Damned.   SOFTBALL AND OBSESSION.

    Chapter: 13 ***** The drive was smooth, even though he knew he was running late for the meeting and that Father's wrath would be unforgiving. Still, he clung to the small victory of having slept—a feat that would have made Elis proud. It had been an eternity since he had last rested, not even for a few fleeting hours. Elis had warned him that his perpetual wakefulness was a slippery slope into madness. Elis wasn't lying, though; he could feel himself slipping into madness slowly but surely. But then he had lain down with his head on Asher's chest, and the steady beat of Asher's heart had been a balm to his frazzled mind. The cacophony of his thoughts—the snarls of beasts, the cruel taunts of his stepfather, the clang of chains, and the crack of whips from the camp—had slowly receded, swept clean from his ever-loud mind and replaced by an unsettling silence. If he hadn’t been with Asher, that silence would have awakened the demons he didn't wish to greet. In that stillness, acco

  • The Seduction Of The Damned.   PAIN AND PLEASURE.

    Chapter: 14******The soft tone floated through the earphones and into Kaidën's ears as he twirled around the room, his movements fluid and carefree. Before him, a man was bound to a table, his body tightly wrapped in sheets and tape, rendering him immobile. The only part of him that moved were his eyes, which followed Kaidën's every step, filled with a mix of fear and confusion.The man's voice was muffled as he tried to speak, but his words were unintelligible. Despite his dire situation, he couldn't help but wonder who this dancing madman was. Just moments before, he had fallen asleep after receiving a mind-numbing blowjob from one of the girls at Velvet Exclusive Bar. Now, he found himself waking up on this table, wrapped up like a present, with no recollection of how he got there.The madman began to hum along to whatever melody he was listening to, startling the frightened man on the table, who stopped struggling to watch the madman twirl around as if he had no cares in the wor

  • The Seduction Of The Damned.   MONSTER C*CK.

    Chapter: 15*****“Please, show me your..... your… cock.” He could barely get the words out.Slowly Asher unzipped his trousers. His dick practically sprang out. It was big, and getting bigger. He pulled on it lasciviously. God, it was bigger than Kaidën's, and he's always considered himself big, but looking at that monster now, Kaidën could have sworn he had almost forgotten just how huge that thing was until now. Asher even pulled his balls out too. They were shaved and they looked heavy, like they were full of load.Asher stepped in towards Kaidën, working his hardness, teasing the tip; then giving long hard strokes to the shaft. Kaidën couldn't take his eyes off it. He licked his lips. They were dry. Or at least that's what he told himself.Excitement fluttered in his stomach.Kaidën's hand found his own cock through his pants. He squeezed the head. He was as hard as Asher was. ‘Oh gods… I don't think I have ever been as hard as I am at this moment.’ Kaidën bit back the thoughts f

    Chapter: 16*****Asher sat in the passenger seat of the blue police car, his eyes scanning the scenery as his partner drove down the busy road. The night was still young, but Asher could tell it was going to be another long one. It had been a week since he returned to work after being discharged from the hospital, and he hadn't seen or heard from Kaidën since. It was as if he had vanished from the surface of the earth after that afternoon.It was bothersome, and although Asher didn't have Kaidën's contact number, he wished he had at least gotten it from him when he had the chance. It was a mystery how he often found himself missing Kaidën when he was away, yet when he was around, he would push him away—except for that last time when he had cuddled with Kaidën in the narrow hospital bed and slept like a newborn.Asher didn't remember having any nightmares, nor did he wake up from one; it was the most peaceful sleep he had experienced in years. Kaidën had somehow managed to chase away

    Chapter: 17 ****** The hall was beginning to fill up with parents and friends, all sporting cheerful and happy faces, ready to witness their children's performance in the school play. Young Elis felt a thrill about the event because he had worked very hard. His teacher, Mrs. Cooper had told him he had a talent and that his role was not only the most important in the play but that he had carried it out exceptionally well; she even called him her “little professional”. At eight years old, Elis was bubbling with excitement and could hardly wait to showcase his skills to the family and friends arriving in the hall, visible to him from behind the red stage curtains. His father was the last to arrive, but when Elis spotted him walking in with his older brother, a surge of happiness filled him. His performance was the only thing that had brought a smile to his father's face in a long time, even though his father didn’t know what the play was about. Still, he had enjoyed listening to El

    Chapter: 32*****With renewed fury, the boy charged, wielding the axe like a seasoned fighter. Kaidën met him head-on, ducking and weaving as he danced around the swings that came harder and faster. Each strike resonated with the energy of countless battles—they were fighting not just for survival but for dominance.Suddenly, Kaidën found himself on the defensive, barely dodging the lethal swipes of the axe. He felt the icy sting of fear creeping in; sweat dripped down the side of his face, mixing with the cold and the chaos around him. The boy advanced relentlessly, his aggression evident. Kaidën retaliated with a series of swift cuts, each one narrowly missing its mark as the boy twisted and ducked beneath them.Just how many people has this boy killed to be this good? Kaidën wondered. As far as he knew, he might just be the toughest opponent the boy had ever faced.Breathing heavily, anxiety simmering beneath the surface, Kaidën realized that he needed to end this. The boy’s focus

    Chapter: 31*****Kaidën jolted awake, an icy cascade of water drenching him in an instant. His heart raced as the cold clung to his skin like a shockwave. Disoriented, he blinked away the remnants of sleep, shivering as he wrestled with lingering dreams that faded into the dark corners of his mind. The clamor of a loudspeaker cut through the morning chill, a mechanical voice barking orders that made his blood run even colder.“Get up! Outside! Now!”With panic gripping him, he scrambled off the cot, his soaked clothes feeling like a second skin. The air was frigid, biting into his exposed flesh as he stumbled through the narrow, dimly lit corridors of the camp. The sharp crunch of frost underfoot signaled the change in weather; snowflakes swirled lazily as Kaidën burst through the heavy door, propelled by disorientation and unsettled dreams.The vast open field sprawled before him, white and blinding under the low morning sun. Just yesterday, it had been a warm, unforgiving landscape

  • The Seduction Of The Damned.   DARKNESS AND LIGHT.

    Chapter: 30******Having decided to drive down to the seaside mansion, Kaidën groaned as he got out of the vehicle and swiftly made his way to the back door. Soon after, he had Nox cradled calmly in his arms as he carried him inside. The mansion was dark, save for the chandelier that hung with a dim glow. Although he hadn’t been here in a long time, Kaidën knew his way around. This was a place he often came to escape the chaos of his regular life. Here, listening to the sound of the sea, often served as a balm for his aching heart.It was also the first gift given to him by Father, right after he completed his program at the Belly of the Beast.The thought made him groan again as he kicked open the bedroom door and entered. Gently, he laid Nox down and leaned forward to watch his sleeping features, so peaceful and carefree. Kaidën pressed his lips to Nox's forehead, then tucked him under the covers before turning away and exiting the bedroom. He secured the front door with a passcode

  • The Seduction Of The Damned.   A NIGHT OF CHAINS AND SALTED WOUNDS.

    CHAPTER:29*****It was a cold and stormy night. Rain lashed against the windows with unrelenting force, while inside, the air remained warm. Asher and Emily giggled softly, huddled together in their small, dimly lit room, perched on the bed that Asher had outgrown. Their moment of solace was abruptly shattered by a sudden, thunderous bang on the door.Before Asher could hide Emily, the door swung open with a crash. An imposing figure stumbled inside, reeking of alcohol and rain. Asher froze, his body stiff with fear as he instinctively placed himself in front of his sister, who clung to his shirt for safety. His heart pounded wildly in his chest. He had hoped to keep Emily hidden, but now there was no time—no escape.“You insolent children!” the man bellowed, his voice slurred and thick with rage. His unsteady frame lurched forward, rainwater dripping from his soaked clothes onto the wooden floor. “Your father isn't home, and all you can do is laugh? What's so damn funny?”Neither of

  • The Seduction Of The Damned.   THE NEED TO KILL HIM.

    Chapter: 28 ***** The night he crawled back into the closet changed him. Once again, he knew he had lost that which had drawn closer to his heart. Since Emily, he had made sure to keep that part of himself secured so that he wouldn't have to suffer the loss of another person he had grown fond of and cared for. He thought Kaidën was different, thought what they were starting to develop for one another was precious. He had even gone as far as chaining him up, only to return and find him gone. Once morning came, he crawled out of the closet, seeming to forget all about the previous night. He arrived at work, forgetting that he had requested a leave. Although the captain had made him work the night before, she didn't seem to mind when he arrived at the station that morning, bright and warm as if nothing had happened. Both he and his partner had even gone on a rescue mission and had returned hours later with a child whom he now cradled in his arms. The girl, no older than six, curled i

  • The Seduction Of The Damned.   JEALOUS OF A STUFFED ANIMAL.

    Chapter: 27*****Kaidën parked his vehicle at the entrance to the park, as there was no road for cars to drive on. He made the rest of the walk down the park, and the area brought back memories as he walked along the broken wooden bridge until the little shed came into view. The shed was dilapidated and nearly falling apart. How it was still standing felt like a miracle.The door to the shed was open, and inside, Kaidën found a small sleeping bag and a tear-stained bear he recognized all too well. But there was no Asher. He reached a hand into his pocket and pulled out his tranquilizer, the same he would often use on Emily. He needed to make sure he knocked Asher cold and carried him back. Asher was living like a homeless boy once again, just like back then.There's only one explanation for why Asher was here and that…"Who are you?"Kaidën whipped around so fast his vision blurred, and when his eyes landed on the cold greens of the man, his breath caught in his throat. But a part of

    Chapter: 26*****Kaidën stood over the droplets of blood on the ground. He went down on his knees and, with a swipe of his middle finger, scooped up his mother's blood. He used his thumb to smear the blood over his other fingers; it was warm, sticky, and smelled like melted iron. He repeated this action a couple more times before he heard a sudden click from the front door. Knowing who it was, he made a run for it, but his father had seen him and chased after him."Come back here, you little piece of shit!" he shouted from behind. Kaidën took the stairs two at a time, but for some reason, the stairs appeared longer than he remembered, and his bedroom seemed to have stretched farther away. His heart thundered loudly in his chest, his eyes grew moist with unshed tears, his limbs trembled and numbed with fear, and his lungs constricted from lack of air. He hadn't been breathing.A hand clasped around his shoulder and spun him around. Kaidën turned and stood face-to-face with his father.

  • The Seduction Of The Damned.   DEATH SCREAM.

    Chapter: 25*****The death scream from the man hung upside down echoed through the stale room, his tears and blood mixing with the pools beneath his head. Whatever had made him think that yelling for an hour straight could get him out of this predicament baffled Kaidën, who stood by the rusty door, his madness simmering just below the surface. Normally, he didn't enjoy playing with his kills, but today was different – he was excessively enraged. Three weeks had passed since he last heard from Asher.Initially, he had thought that getting married to Carla would somehow bind Asher to him. "That's what you get when you don't think before you act!" Kaidën snapped at himself, his reflection staring back at him from the mirror, its surface splitting him into two people."I wanted his attention, his possession!" Kaidën's anger boiled over, and he punched the mirror, his fist cracking the center, causing the reflection to shatter into multiple fragments.Kaidën began to pace the narrow hallw

    Chapter: 24 ***** Gerald slammed the door behind him, the sound reverberating through the small house like a slap in the face. His shoulders were hunched over as he trudged into the kitchen, the aroma of dinner wafted through the air, but it did nothing to calm the storm brewing in his chest. Kaidën sat at the table, his small frame bent over his plate, a fork in hand. The boy's eyes flickered between the food and his father. He could feel his father’s anger radiating like a heatwave. “Another miserable day!” Gerald barked, his voice slicing through the air. The peace they had felt when he wasn't around was starting to be sliced up by his anger. “You wouldn’t believe the incompetence I had to deal with! All these idiots dragging me down!” He threw himself into a chair, the legs scraping against the floor, rattling the dishes set before them. Kaidën swallowed with much difficulty and then glanced at his mother, who stood at the stove, her back turned. The tension was so intense, t
