Chapter: Live. And Have Fun :)None of the Underworlders dared to speak up. The vampires that were hissing at me took steps back. The werewolves that were growling at me whimpered in fear. The warlocks looked shocked and some of the fairies were shivering. It felt amazing to finally show how they could not toy with my life anymore. It felt divine to have control over my life. Take that, you annoying Underworlders. Lex suddenly laughed out loud. He grabbed his stomach as though I was being funny. It annoyed me greatly, and I was about to reprimand him when suddenly he said to the entire garden, “The ones who object the Dark Lord will have to go through me first.” I realized what he was doing. He made sure the Underworlders know he had my back. Our eyes locked, and I sent him silent gratitude. “You’ll have to go through me too,” Tony said beside me. “Me too,” Renald said. Michael shrugged. “Me three.” I smiled at the boys, feeling full because they had my back

Chapter: The Dark LordI took in a huge gasp of air as I finally opened my eyes. My lungs felt like being drowned and then burned because it had stopped breathing for a while and oxygen was flooding in madly. The light burned my eyes too and for a moment I had to blink furiously just to adjust to the light. It was funny. All I had to do was just manifest my will to keep on living and there I was. Alive yet again. I saw Tony’s yellow eyes first. They widened at me, shocked because he thought I had died. His face crumpled when he hugged me tightly before. And now he looked at me blankly. I could still see the tears pooling in his demonic eyes. At other times, I would have boasted about the fact a demon almost cried for me. He really was the sweetest demon. “Miss Ari!!” Renald cried out. He pulled me into his embrace. The smell of earthy fragrance from his skin hit my nose. But his embrace gave me warmth, and I found myself clinging to him, to make sure I was really al

Chapter: Define Our Own PurposeI turned in the voice’s direction. After blinking twice, I realized that the figure in front of me was real. He seemed to be in the same realm as me, the ghost/afterlife/whatever-it-is-actually-called realm. The men didn’t notice his presence at all. He looked similar to Bar, with a body cloaked in a black hood. But he was way bigger, and he had a scythe in his right hand. Looking up, I find his skeleton face. And when I looked into his red eyes, I knew instantly who it was. “Dark Lord…” “No,” he said, “That is not my title anymore.” I could be wrong, but I saw him smiling sadly. After all, how could a skeleton smile or give any expression whatsoever? Expression comes from muscles, and skeletons do not have muscles. They are just bones. “Are you here to pick me up?” I asked. My voice trembled slightly. I was still not ready to go. My eyes flared up in heat as well. But the skeleton man shook his head. “That is not my job anymore,” he s

Chapter: At Death's DoorPeople like to theorize about death. For a clinician, there are two types of death; one is the condition of brain dead, where the brain is no longer active to even sustain the basic biological need and would need to rely on a machine. The other is when the heart stops beating. My heart has stopped beating. I could have explained the entire thing from a biological perspective but that would make this chapter into a scientific journal instead of a story. The thing is, we humans are too afraid to die that we conjure this unnatural belief that there is something beautiful in the afterlife. That someone would pick our souls up and deliver us to a better place. But that was not what I experienced. Death was quite… empty. It was nothing extraordinary. Just my soul leaving my body. No pain. No anguish. Nothing beautiful to see. In fact, I was seeing the same scene before I died. Someone had called my name before, but I forgot who it was. The f

Chapter: End Of A Phase“Mateo?” I felt my knees weakening as I locked eyes with a hooded figure in a dark cloak in front of the gate. His voice sounded like a hoarse whisper, but it was loud. And it made my skin crawl even more. I couldn’t see his entire face, as half of his upper face was covered by the hood. But I could clearly see his red, glowing, menacing eyes. “Yes,” he said in an eerie voice. The man grabbed two iron bars of the gate slowly, showing long and dirty nails. The little skin that I saw was pale, and he looked super skinny, only skin on bones. “Who are you?” I asked, “And what do you mean you have Mateo?” The man stretched his hand beyond the iron bars of the gate. He opened his palm. Instantly, red-orange dust appeared from his fingers and created what seemed like a circle of firework in the air. In the middle of the circle, appeared a boy in a dark void. I couldn’t breathe. The boy looked at me with fear in his eyes. He looked emancipated

Chapter: Not Just A PhaseRenald, Tony, and Michael were already sitting at the dining table. They didn’t start eating until Lex and I took a bite first. I sat on Lex’s right side, just like before. Next to me was Tony. And across from me were Michael and Renald. I ate my food leisurely. They served this amazing baked chicken with salad. And the red wine they served that night tasted somehow sweeter. Perhaps it was just my good mood. Mending my relationship with Lex cheered me up a little. I felt less stuffed. As though a burden had been lifted from my shoulders. It felt weird, though. Because I didn’t feel like this with the other guys. I didn’t even know how strong the strain in my relationship with Lex had affected me. But just when I was about to sip my wine, Tony sniffed the air close to my hair. I jolted a little, still not use to these supernatural men sniffing me. But there was something wrong this time. He looked at me with an intense gaze. His yellow eyes flashed before me a

The Wolf King and the Wilted Flower
Bought as a defect. Destined as his mate.
As the last heir of the Wolf Kings, Grey Stormborn carries the burden of a dying kingdom. Bound by an ancient curse to the Everlasting Tree, his people are losing their ability to shift, their fertility, and their future. Only a rare Rona—a woman blessed with the power of flowers—can save them.
Desperate, Grey purchases the only Rona he can afford.
Maya is mute, timid, and utterly useless by every measure. Her flowers bloom only to wither moments later. Forced into a one-year marriage contract, Grey plans to fulfill his duty, secure an heir, and part ways forever.
But beneath Maya's silence lies a devastating secret.
When dragons descend upon the kingdom, she unleashes a terrifying magic capable of commanding forests and bringing armies to their knees. Suddenly, the "defective" bride becomes the kingdom's greatest treasure—and the obsession of the ruthless king who once sold her.
Now Grey must protect the woman he never wanted... before he loses the mate he never knew he needed.

Chapter: 10 : Simple DaisyMayaThe woman looked completely bewildered. Somehow seeing the woman confused made Maya laugh weakly through her tears –which only seemed to worry the woman further.Eventually, the woman sighed. Then awkwardly patted Maya's shoulder. "There there."Maya nearly cried harder. Because nobody had comforted her like that in years.Later, after Maya managed to stop crying, the woman introduced herself. "My name is Bina."Maya listened attentively."I used to be one of Stormfang's warriors."That didn’t surprise Maya. But she couldn’t tell Bina that. So she just scooped another spoonful of pot pie and savored each mouthful.

Chapter: 9 : Veiled DesperationHealer Cora. An old name. Older than Grey himself, she was the kingdom's most secluded elder. A woman few had seen in years. Yet his mother had trusted her above everyone else.When Grey was still a child, he vaguely remembered hearing conversations between them. Always about Ronas. Always about the Everlasting Tree. Always spoken behind closed doors.If anyone knew why Maya's flowers withered...It would be Cora.Perhaps… Perhaps defects could be cured.Perhaps something blocked her power.Perhaps—Hope was dangerous so Grey stopped himself.Still.

Chapter: 9 : Disguised HopeGreyThe journey north continued in suffocating silence. Not because Grey preferred silence. Because every attempt at conversation ended almost immediately.Marcus had tried. Repeatedly."Are you hungry?"A nod."Too cold?"A shake of her head."Would you like to rest?"Another nod.That was the extent of Maya's conversations.Grey had initially assumed she simply disliked speaking. Then he remembered Valir introducing her as mute.Wonderful.

Two dresses. A worn blanket. A wooden comb.Nothing else.Twenty years of life reduced to a single bag.Marcus accepted it from the servant with a puzzled look.

Yet snowdrops possessed a stubbornness that larger flowers lacked. They bloomed when frost still covered the ground. When cold winds still howled. When spring seemed impossible.Freya used to say that snowdrops carried a message.New beginnings always arrived quietly./////When Serena had just stepped onto the stage, the audience froze their eyes to her.The twenty-five-year-
