Lust And Relaxation

At the Silverwood manor, Deimon sat deep in his penthouse, emersing himself on his favorite cushion. The room was a tomb of velvet and shadow, the air thick with the sweet, heavy scent of cherry tobacco. A disco ball spun slowly in the corner, throwing tiny rays of golden and purple light across his bare, muscular chest. He looked like a king in a dark palace. He wore only silk shorts, the fabric barely clinging to his hips.In his left hand, he held a golden hookah pipe. He took a long, slow pull, the water bubbling softly. When he exhaled, thick, white cloud hid his face before swirling into the aromatic mist filling the room. A glass of dark wine sat on his right hand, catching the dim light. He sipped it, letting the alcohol burn a path down his throat, as he savoured it's flavors.Deimon stretched, his muscles rippling like a predator’s. His mind was a mess. The uprising within his clan, the new threats hiding in the dark, news about Anna. But tonight, he didn’

Ashworth's Defiance

The engine of the McLaren died with a satisfied roar, echoing silently in the mountain air. Deimon stepped out, the gravel crunching beneath his shoes. His black silk shirt was unbuttoned halfway down his chest, exposing the skin of his torso . He didn't care about the dress code of the High Council. Rules were for those who feared the consequences.Something new was bubbling inside him—a dark, intoxicating heat that felt like liquid gold in his veins. It was power, raw and defiant. He felt invincible, possessing a predatory aura that seemed to make the very air ofthe Gathering Grounds come to a deadly halt.Jabari was waiting by the towering stone doors of the fortress. He was pacing, checking his watch with a face full of shadows and worry."You’re forty minutes late, Master Ashworth," Jabari whispered with a tight tone. He struggled to match Deimon’s long, arrogant strides as they moved toward the entrance."Chief Adolphus will be foaming at the mouth right now . The Elders ar

The godhead's Visit

Deimon knew he had stirred the hornets' nest with his acts, but he couldn't bring himself to care. Word spread like wildfire, every pack and clan whispered in dismay. The son of Ashworth had not just broken a rule; he had desecrated the Law of the Crescent in front of the high council. It was more than defiance—it was an invitation to war. By evening, the outrage had reached his own clan, and the air was thick with it."Son, what fresh hell have you dragged to our doorstep?"Octavia stood in the driveway, her face a mask of pale fury. Deimon pulled his McLaren to a stop, the engine’s dying down, releasing a soft growl into the evening air . "Mother, should I take that as an evening compliment?" Deimon smiled as he pulled himself out of his McLaren. He stepped closer and affectionately fondled his mother's cheek. "What troubles you, Mama? Your face doesn't suit that frown.""Adolphus Grimmwald sent a message," she hissed, ignoring his charm. "The Council is in an uproar. What d

Spring And Stables

"Easy there, Segan," Anna whispered.She patted the great black stallion’s neck. The horse shifted, his heavy hooves echoing against the flagstone floor. Anna had woken before the world, moving through the soft predawn light with a sense of peace that had been foreign to her for months. She felt light, the crushing weight of the secrets she had hidden—her true fate, her past, the erratic nature of her journey—had finally been shared with Jebediah. She had braced herself for judgment, for the cold snap of rejection, or perhaps even hate. Instead, Jebediah had chosen kindness, after he had gone quiet for a long, agonizing minute, his face unreadable. He suddenly waved it off casually, the way he did to almost everything, wrapping her in a warm, protective hug and what seemed like a lifetime epistle of reassurance. He went ahead to treating her to a meal at a five-star café, as if she were the most delicate thing in his world. The Ozeths were, without a doubt, built differently.The mo

I'm Alright, Mama

The silence in Anna’s apartment became so thick that the rapid thumping of her own heart felt like drumbeats. She stared at the phone on the small wooden table, her fingers trembling as she pressed the speaker button."What? Puppy? Is that really you?" Lauretta’s voice came through, thin and wavering, as if she were speaking from another world.Anna closed her eyes, a single tear escaping and rolling down her cheek. "Yes, Mama. It’s me.""Oh my goodness!" Lauretta gasped, a choked-back scream echoing through the line. "Puppy! Unbelievable. How are you, baby girl? I thought... we all thought the worst. The stories they told... I thought I had buried my heart when you disappeared.""I’m fine, Mama," Anna whispered, sniffing back more tears. "It was hectic. It was a nightmare I thought I’d never wake up from, but I’m good now. Truly, how are you? How is your health?""I feel better now that I hear your voice," Lauretta breathed. The sound of her deep, shaky exhale filled the room. "I c

What Stirred On The Inside

"JB!" Janette's screamed at the top of her lungs, her voice bouncing off the high, expensive ceilings of the hallway, sharp and utterly shameless, the kind of scream that rattled picture frames and startled sleeping cats twenty yards away.Jebediah didn't even flinch. "I did not see your moon-ring. Go throw your weight around somewhere else, for the love of —""Damnit, JB!" Janette cried out.Anna pressed a hand over her mouth to hide a giggle. The back-and-forth between the siblings was like a tennis match of insults.Janette appeared in the doorway a second later, slightly breathless, her eyes bright with the particular energy of someone who had convinced herself she was the victim of a conspiracy. She took one look at Anna and her entire face shifted, warm and delighted, like the sun deciding to come out from behind a cloud. "Oh, hey there, sweetie." She tilted her head, looking Anna over with open admiration. "You are absolutely glowing this fine morning. Honestly, you're so al

The Resonance Of Shadows

Anna stepped through the sliding glass doors of the private wing, her hand pressed firmly against her belly. Beneath her palm, the dark pulse was no longer throbbing—it was rippling. It felt like a heavy stone had been hurled into the center of a deep, black lake, sending waves of cold energy through her veins.Janette held Anna’s arm with an iron grip. Her usual bubbly persona had vanished, replaced by a sharp, predatory intensity."Isabeau," Janette commanded, her eyes scanning the hallway. "Get the medical staff. I want a private room, now. Fetch Dr. Donovan immediately. No questions, no paperwork at the front desk, move!""Understood," Isabeau replied. Her usual grace shifted into something cold and efficient. She strode toward the reception desk, her mere presence radiating a command that made the hospital staff jump into frantic action.Anna felt the floor tilt. "Janette... the pain. It’s not just a kick. It feels like... like something inside is trying to reach out."Janette di

The Matriarch’s Arrival

The ultrasound room was now a tomb of cold air and shattered glass, the shards reflecting the dying flicker of Janette’s magic.Janette's hands trembled violently, the golden light of the redemption wavelength flickering like a candle at the mercy of a storm. Anna lay convulsing on the examination table, her skin pale white, her lips slightly parted as though trying to scream but finding no sound. Beneath her flesh, the black smoke twisted and writhed — a living darkness that had no business being inside a pregnant woman."I can't hold it!" Janette hissed through clenched teeth, her glowing eyes darting to the door. "It's too strong, Anna. It's not just the baby — it's something else. Something that—"She never finished the sentence.The heavy reinforced door to the private wing didn't just open. It was thrown — slamming inward with a force like been struck by a sledgehammer that rattled the walls and sent a gust of supernatural wind sweeping through the corridor. The blast snuffed ou

Welcome Back To The Living

"Ahhhhh."The groan tore itself out of Anna before she was fully awake. She pushed herself upright, pressed one hand to her head, and sat there blinking at nothing in particular while the world reassembled itself around her. A dull, rhythmic thumping pulsed behind her eyes."Feels like a blacksmith mistook my head for an anvil," she muttered."That must be a very wise blacksmith, I'd say." a calm voice drifted from the corner.Anna's eyes snapped open. The sudden light made her wince, but the figure sitting at the foot of her bed stopped her heart for a different reason."Janette?" Anna whispered, her memory a blurred mess of hospital white and screaming monitors. The room was not the hospital ward, that much she knew. This wasn't her room or Isabeau’s either. She was in an apartment that felt like a hidden sanctuary. The space around her was something else entirely, something older. The walls were stone and dark timber, draped in fabric the color of deep water, and the furniture was

The Diviner's Visit

Anna peered from the top of the stairs. Her feet froze, her heart hammering so loud she could feel it in her own ears.Who is this guest? she wondered. Someone was down there, someone stubborn, hellbent on seeing her and would not take "no" for an answer. Her mind drifted back — back to Silverwood, back to the cold stone walls of the Ashworth estate. Her pulse quickened.Janette glided smoothly down the stairs ahead of her, then paused and looked back with a raised brow."You coming or what, pumpkin? The day doesn't wait — come on!" She waved her hand impatiently.Anna took a long breath. She pulled her shoulders back and straightened her spine. She marched down the stairs, telling herself that it did not matter who was waiting.What will be, will be. She reached the family sitting room and let her eyes fall upon the sofa. A figure sat there, looking peaceful, almost too calm. The stranger was sipping from a cup of steaming cocoa. The vapors rose in thick, aromatic clouds, smelling o
