last update publish date: 2026-06-09 16:25:47

I found the rooftop by accident.

Technically I was looking for a quiet place to read.

Unfortunately this apartment building contained approximately nine hundred emotionally attached people at all times.

Privacy was mythical.

So when I pushed open the rooftop door expecting empty space—

I stopped immediately.

There was a garden up there.

Not a huge one.

Just rows of lantern flowers growing beside old wooden benches.

Hanging vines wrapped softly around silver railings.

Tiny glowing herbs lined th

  • “Marked as Property, Stolen by the Alpha”   Chapter 224 - The Name of the Shore

    The first road had begun exactly as the ancient writings promised.Not with stone.Not with walls.Not with treaties.With trust.A shell.For a petal.A child choosing courage.A traveler choosing kindness.The crystal flower beside the shore glowed a little brighter.The tiny lantern at its center burned steadily.The people of this new world slowly stepped closer.Not all at once.One careful step at a time.The child returned to their mother, proudly holding the glowing golden petal.The woman looked at it with wonder.Then she looked at us.Her fear had not vanished completely.But it had made room for curiosity.That was enough.Curiosity builds better bridges than certainty ever could.Hope waved.A small wave.Nothing grand.The children waved back immediately.Adults are often slower to trust.Children sometimes remind us how.Noah quietly sketched the scene."This," he whispered, "will be my favorite page."Elowen knelt beside the crystal flower, making sure its roots rested

  • “Marked as Property, Stolen by the Alpha”   Chapter 223 - A Lantern Shared

    Mother always said never to follow strange lights.Especially the ones that appeared across the sea.They belonged to storms.Or wandering spirits.Or stories that liked pretending to be true.But this light...This light felt different.It wasn't calling me away.It was waiting.So I came.Not alone.The whole village had gathered behind me.Quiet.Curious.A little frightened.I held my tiny lantern as tightly as I could.Father had made it from woven reeds and polished shell.Its little flame was never very bright.But it was mine.The strangers stood on the shore.They looked different.Their clothes were unlike ours.Their ship floated above the water instead of resting in it.Yet none of them held weapons.None of them looked angry.They looked...hopeful.The woman at the front smiled.She held the most beautiful lantern I had ever seen.It shone like morning sunlight caught inside crystal.But she didn't raise it high.She lowered it.Until it was almost level with mine.As th

  • “Marked as Property, Stolen by the Alpha”   Chapter 222 -The Shore Without a Name

    We reached land at dawn.Not the dawn we knew.This sunrise was different.The sky shimmered in shades of pale gold, lavender, and soft emerald, as though morning itself was learning a new language.The Wayfinder drifted silently toward a quiet shoreline.No harbor waited for us.No lighthouse.No Watchkeeper's station.Only smooth white sand and gentle waves that reflected the unfamiliar stars fading into daylight.The dozens of lights we had seen during the night were gone.Hidden by the morning.Or perhaps carried home.Hope stood at the bow, the Lantern of Beginnings cradled in her hands.It glowed with a warm, steady light.Not pointing anymore.Simply... welcoming."I think we've arrived."No one argued.The ship settled gently onto the calm water near the shore.The anchor touched the seabed with barely a sound.For a long moment, none of us moved.We had crossed beyond every known road.Every map.Every story.We were the first travelers here.At last, Hope stepped onto the sa

    “Again.”Hope’s tiny voice echoed through the bond.Warm.Bright.Alive.The gold light around my body exploded outward so violently the rooftop disappeared beneath it.The darkness stopped spreading instantly.The corruption recoiled.Not hurt.Confused.Deeply confused.Silas’s hand remained over

    The moment Hope called me—I broke.Not loudly.Not visibly.Something inside me simply shattered."Daddy..."Her tiny voice trembled through the bond.Afraid.Hurting.Reaching for me.And suddenly the idea of letting go became impossible.The creator's command echoed across the rooftop."Separate

    The moment the voice spoke—Hope stopped crying.Silence crashed through the bond.Wrong silence.Dangerous silence.The gold light around my body flickered weakly while black veins spread slowly beneath my skin.Pain twisted through my stomach.Not physical pain.Something deeper.Like another pre

    Everything changed in one second.Mira collapsed against me.The gold light around her body flickered violently.The bond twisted painfully.And Hope screamed.Not aloud.Inside us.Inside all of us.A child's terrified cry echoed through reality itself.The sky cracked again instantly.The healing
