Contemporary
Fast-Paced Plot
Dark Romance
CEO
Hidden Identity
Ruthless
Divorce
Revenge
Weak to Strong
Useless, broken, ordinary, worthless--these were the tags etched on Damien Hale's back by the people meant to be his family. Margaret Reed, his mother-in-law, and Victoria Reed, his own wife, mocked and humiliated him, dismissed as a mere stay-at-home son-in-law. But what no one knew was that he was far from ordinary. Behind the dirty apron and quiet smile was a man with unimaginable power, a man who gave up glory for anonymity and a family... until the day everything collapses.
When Vanessa engages with her ex—the charming, manipulative Sebastian— in public, Damien becomes nothing more than a roadblock standing in the way of her “perfect future.” The insults grow bolder, the humiliation more public, and his dying marriage turns into battlefield.
But when the Reeds push too far… Ethan finally snaps.
As enemies rise and secrets unravel, Vanessa realizes too late that... the husband they bullied, is the king they should have feared.
And now he was awake, the world would bleed before he bows again.

Chapter: CHAPTER 14
WOLF IN SAVIOR'S CLOTHINGThe ceiling fan creaked as it swirled above them, filling the air with the same musty smell that settled on the seats. A cricket chirped at a corner, filling the silence that had already settled in the room. Sebastian sank into the seat, holding his breath as he scrolled through his phone. Vanessa paced back and forth, her voice echoing off the walls as she shouted. “What did you even do to put you in there?" she said, covering her face with her hands as she shook her head. "It had to be something bad, of course. And you had to pull your friends in too. Do you know how much stress you put me into?" She paused, turning to her mother who was silent the entire time. “Are you even listening to me?" Margaret hissed, her face squeezing as she placed the icebag on her black eye. Theresa's claw marks on her skin still stung and moving did nothing to help. She could only sit still, taking in slow breaths as she stared at the varnish table in front of her. “Why did

LIKE DAUGHTER, LIKE MOTHER. “Fucking let go of me,” Vanessa shrieked, struggling wildly against the guards. "Don't you know who I am? I am Vanessa Reed, owner of–” Her words were cut short as the guards slammed her to the ground. She landed hard on her arm and a sickening crack echoed in her ear. Teeth clenched, she looked up at the two guards, the pain from her arm seeping into her expressions. “You will pay," she spat, her matted hair flying in each breath. “You hear me? You both will fucking pay for this." The guards said nothing. They just stood there, staring down at her like she was trash. The awe and respect they once had in their gazes were gone, cold indifference replacing them. How did things change so quickly?...“Stay out," the one at the front said in a voice that sent chills down her spine. “You try to come back in…” he tapped the baton held to his side, "... and we won't be so merciful.” Vanessa tried to speak but her words died before they could reach her lips th

Chapter: CHAPTER 12
ENDS OF REEDS, RISE OF VEYRA“Veyra Holdings? Elara muttered as she laughed dryly. "My company? No, this must be a joke." New murmurs began to fly as heads snapped toward Elara, then back to Vanessa, then back again. Some people leaned in closer, eyes wide, while some stepped back like they were afraid of her. Elara turned to Ryan, staring, searching his eyes for anything–anything that'd tell her that he was joking. But he held no emotion of that sort. She knew he was serious, but the ridiculousness of the entire timing felt like it was nothing but a show. It wasn't until her gaze traveled to the display board towering above the bell, flashing real-time market data, that it fully dawned on her. Everyone turned their gaze too, watching as Veyra Holdings slowly crept up, its stock prices flickering upwards before surging past Vanessa's. The entire hall fell silent as the Veyra Holdings symbol flashed vibrantly at the number one spot. “W-what?" Vanessa breathed, her voice cracking as

Chapter: CHAPTER 11
A BANQUET FOR THE BROKENThe crowd behind erupted in laughter, but Damien stood calm. Elara’s heart clenched. With everyone watching, heat crept up her neck, and she lowered her head as shame washed over “Your pass, sir," the guard repeated, stretching his hand out. “How do we intend to identify you without your pass?" “I don’t need a piece of paper to prove who I am,” Damien said evenly.For a moment, silence fell over the hall.The guests stared at Damien, eyes blinking in disbelief.“What did he just say?” someone whispered.“He doesn’t need proof?” another murmured, confused.The guard pulled out his baton and jabbed Damien’s shoulder with it. “Oh right,” he sneered, mimicking Damien’s earlier calm tone. “Maybe we should call the host over and let him personally escort you in, huh?” He tapped Damien again, smirking. “That way your stay here might actually be valid, Mr. Important.”That was all it took to send the room shaking with laughter.From the crowd, Sebastian called out,

SERVANT BOY RETURNSThe elevator ride down was silent, the hum of soft music filling the quiet. Elara kept on glancing at Damien but his expression still remained unreadable. Yet, something in his eyes had shifted…After everything that had happened upstairs, she couldn't help but rethink her decision. Maybe she wasn't meant to be in this world–everything was just so different. She clutched the keycard tight, wondering if she should just thank him and reject his offer–if she should walk away, or follow him?She looked up at Damien, watching as he stood by the street, answering a call. Before she could make up her mind to tell him, a car stopped in front of them and Damien opened the door without a word. His gaze met hers–cold, steady, but not unkind. Elara hesitated, heart tightening, before finally stepping in beside him.Without another word, Damien walked to the other side and got in. As soon as the door clicked shut, the car pulled away from the curb. Silence filled the space, le

Chapter: CHAPTER 9
RED LIGHT Damien took a step back, his jaws tightening as Margaret stepped off the elevator. He grabbed Elara's hand, pulling her behind him as the old lady glared at him with disgust. “What the hell are you doing here, you bastard?” Margaret asked, her voice sharp as she grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. “Have you been following me? Running around, chasing my tail. You want me to beg Vanessa for you, right?"Damien grabbed Margaret's hand, pulling it off his shirt. Margaret, shocked by his audacity, scoffed, her eyes widening in surprise before narrowing into slits. His expression unchanging, Damien adjusted his squeezed collar and inhaled slowly. "This isn't the time, Margaret," he said quietly. "We'll leave now.”Turning to Elara, he gently grabbed her arm and pulled her toward the elevator. He didn't want any drama, but Margaret seemed to thrive on it. “And where the hell do you think you're going?" she asked, her voice echoing across the hallway as she stepped in front

THE HUNTED HUNTER
Kael dropped his hands down, causing his blade to run along the jagged ground, sending burst of sparks infused with dark-magic across the floor. His victim, a bloodied werewolf, laid on the ground, staring at him with his one trembling eye.
Kael growled as he knelt beside the dying beast. “They sent me to tell you, wolf…” He lifted his sword and placed it on werewolf’s neck. “… your end has come.”
.................
The world was dying
The Blinding Veil - a divine seal formed by the beings of past was the one thing stopping the entire world from meeting its end. But it’s effects are already fading as the seal had begun to break and the evil curse the ancestors had tried to ward off with the seal had begun to seep in through the cracks in the bleeding veil.
Vampires were going rogue, werewolves killed without reason, the Elves turned to dark magic, the faes sat and watched the evil unfold without interfering. And the humans? They were reduced to hundreds, losing a battle even their techs couldn't help win.
But Kael Draven, a god-blade wielding killer with no memory of his past, is not like them. Once a child soldier and now a hired gun, Kael believes his targets are the danger—until a failed assignment reveals a terrible truth:
They're not the threat.
He is.
Chased by his former masters, Kael joins a half-elf warlock, a exiled werewolf, a Fae torturer, and a human prodigy. As the world is about to end, Kael learns that he's not human—nor hybrid.
He is something more...
With everything and everyone after him, will Kael become the monster he was designed to be, or seal the pact that wants to end him?

Chapter: CHAPTER 10: THE BROKEN HUNTER
The gut-wrenching stench of charred corpses drifted through the night air. A dying werewolf, its innards spilling over its sliced belly, groaned at Kael's feet. Hissing, Kael stabbed him in the face, his blade sinking deep into his skull, quieting him. “Tech Knight?" Kael muttered as he bent down, wiping his bloody blade on the werewolf's carcass. "The order told me ‘bout a human wielding cursed tech and working with the resistance. That you?" He stood up, whirling the god-blade around as he took a good look at Mira. He cocked a brow as he tilted his head to the side, his gaze traveling down her neck. With one swift sweep, he placed the sharp blade under her chin, lifting her face up. Mira didn't move and instead grinned at the hunter. “Those disgusting blue veins tracing down to your chest," Kael said coldly. "Your body is rejecting the magic. Using your machine is killing you.”Mira chuckled, flicking the blade from her chin. "I never knew the hunter to be someone who cares.”K

Chapter: CHAPTER 9: THE TECH KNIGHT
Kael took a few steps back, his gaze locked on the being standing in the shadow. His arm had begun to heal but the bloodied sleeve of his shirt caused the thick fabric to mat against his torn skin, sending sharp pains up his arms whenever he moved. The moonlight glinted off the sleek metal armor plating covering the stranger from head to toe and the blue runes etched across the suit pulsed faintly with magic. A mechanical mask covered his face, the two glowing eyes at the front the only thing that seemed to hold any hint of humanity. Their gloved hand was still pointed at him, the blaster at the center humming with restrained energy. "Magic-tech armor," Kael whispered to himself as he cradled his arm close to his chest. It wasn't easy for just any human to come by a tech infused with magic. So who was this person? And why did they want him dead? They... seemed human, so there was no way they were working with the Order. Or... were they? Kael was about asking then who they were wh

Chapter: CHAPTER 8: THE REAPER TREMBLES
Kael looked around, his teeth gritting as he watched the creatures surrounding him and Eldrin, slowly creeping closer. There were three vampires in their beastly form, two Faes with wands soaked in dark-magic, and five massive werewolves growling at him – and that wasn't counting the monsters lurking in the shadows of the trees."We can take them... right?" Eldrin said in a low voice as he glanced at Kael, whose eyes were fixed solely on the massive werewolf before him.He opened his lips to tell the vampire he didn't know -- that the poison's effects, although fading, was still there -- but before he could speak, the beast suddenly let out a thunderous roar. The deafening sound thundered through the silent forest, shattering the peace as trees shattered and fell. And then the monsters began to attack.Kael barely had time to prepare himself when the first werewolf rushed towards him, snapping its jaws inches from his throat. "Dammit," he swore as he swerved in time, its fang missing

Chapter: CHAPTER 7: THE ORDER'S DECEIT
Kael closed his eyes, taking a deep breath as the magic from the god-blade poured into him, filling him with life once more. His hands tightened around the hilt as the red and black runes on the blade pulsed like a heartbeat. The sound of feet shuffling brought him back to reality. He turned his head to the side and found Eldrin standing by the still open grave, staring into the pit. “Start talking,” Kael said, turning to face him fully. He had regained his strength-or at least most of it. "How did you find me? How do you know I was here? Why did you–”"One question at a time, dead boy," Eldrin said, cutting Kael off. Sighing, he crossed his arms across his chest, tilting his head to the side. "You were poisoned, Draven. Your blood is drenched with the smell of rot magic.”"I know I was poisoned,” Kael answered curtly as his jaws clenched. "You still haven't answered the question I asked you.” Eldrin's smile faded. "Fair enough," he muttered as he walked away from the grave and tow

Chapter: Chapter 6: RISEN FROM THE DEAD
His arms burned as though they were on fire and his heart felt like it was about bursting out of his chest. Images, memories he didn't have, flashed through his thoughts, flooding the halls of his mind. The vision Eldrin had shown him kept playing in his head on repeat like a haunting nightmare-the bloody creatures, Maltheon cackling as he ordered his archmen to shoot more arrows, and he and the other Grandmasters feeding off the Bleeding Veil. “Wake." Kael grunted, his eyes shooting open as his body jerked forward. His muscles felt loose and his heartbeat slowed down. He felt weak, as though something had drained him of all his strength. It was the weakest he had ever felt before. He tried to scream but his voice came out muffled as though he had something over his mouth. No, it wasn't just his mouth. His entire body felt as though it was being held down by something. He moved around, trying his best to dislodge himself from whatever had him pinned down but the more he moved, th

Chapter: Chapter 5: THE SIP OF DEATH
Kael squeezed the letter and shoved it into his pocket before standing from the bench. He adjusted his cloak before walking towards the main hall. Grandmaster Maltheon rarely called for him and Kael assumed that his summon was going to be related to his questioning the scribes and searching the archives. It was about time anyways. He needed to know the truth and who better to tell him that than the one amongst the five who founded the Order. Kael walked past the main hall and through an unfamiliar corridor, one that he knew of but rarely visited. The corridor opened onto a high chamber bathed in silver moonlight from the open roof above the room. The room's walls were carved with ancient runes depicting stories of the past, stories Kael was taught for as long as he could remember. And there, standing by the window of the sanctum, was Maltheon, clothed in a robe of crimson and gold. Kael could not see the fae’s features, but from the outline of his shoulders, he could tell he had a
