PEACE AND HOME
The morning mist hung low over the valley as the old military transport truck rumbled down the dirt road. Inside the cabin, the silence was peaceful. Zeus held the steering wheel with one massive hand, while his other arm was wrapped securely around Juliana. She rested her head against his shoulder, her hand gently tracing the slight, soft curve of her stomach.She was pregnant. The news had come a few days ago, like a quiet blessing after a lifetime of storms. For Zeus, the child growing inside her was a second chance at life—a chance to protect what he had once lost. He knew they couldn't live on the run forever. A child needed a home, a place with deep roots and a solid foundation.That was why he had made the decision to return to the capital city. It was his hometown, the place he shared with Gabriel, and the place where he had spent his youth serving the late Emperor Mathew.General Alex had fought the decision with everything he had. When they packed their bags, the old General
SIMPLE MAN, GOING HOME WITH HIS WOMAN
The dirt clearing was a storm of dust and raw emotion. Gabriel scrambled to his feet, his hands shaking as he reached into his muddy boots and pulled out a hidden, jagged dagger. His nose was bleeding, and his royal clothes were ruined, but his eyes were filled with the frantic, deadly energy of a cornered rat."I am the Emperor!" Gabriel screamed, his voice cracking with humiliation. "You are nothing but a slave! A ghost from the past!"Gabriel lunged forward, swinging the dagger wildly. Zeus stepped back, his face a mask of intense concentration. He was furious, his heart pounding with the painful memories of his murdered wife and son, but a deep, stubborn part of him was still holding onto the promise he had made to late Emperor Mathew. He didn't want to kill the man. He wanted to end the madness without shedding more blood than necessary.But Gabriel was not fighting to subdue; he was fighting to murder. He aimed straight for Zeus’s throat, his chest, and his eyes, thrusting the b
OLD WOUND
The morning sun crept through the tears in the old military tent, casting long, pale streaks of light across the dirt floor. Wrapped tightly around each other, Zeus and Juliana slept in a rare, heavy stillness. For a few hours, the cold weight of the empire had been lifted. Zeus had his thick arms locked around her waist, his chin resting against her soft hair, shielding her body with his own. Juliana's hand was pressed flat against his massive chest, rising and falling with the steady, reassuring rhythm of his breath.Then, the quiet of the dawn exploded.BANG! BANG!The sharp, echoing crack of rifle fire shattered the morning air, followed by the chaotic shouting of men and the heavy thud of boots stamping through the undergrowth nearby.Zeus’s eyes snapped open. The warmth vanished from his features in an instant, replaced by the rigid, lethal focus of a hunted animal. Beside him, Juliana gasped, her body jolting awake as panic seized her chest."Dad," she whispered, her voice trem
THE BATH TOGETHER
The midnight air was still and cold, biting through the cracks of the concrete bunker. The hours had dragged on in absolute silence, and nobody had come. The dead quiet of the forest only made Zeus more restless. He sat in the shadows, his eyes constantly shifting to Juliana.He could hear the faint rumble of her stomach. She was exhausted, hungry, and trying her best to look brave, but he knew she was terrified.Looking at her huddled in the dark triggered a familiar, suffocating ache in his chest. Years ago, he had left his wife and children alone, believing they were safe. He had returned to ashes and blood. That single mistake had broken his life into pieces. As he stared at Juliana now, his jaw tightened. He had lost his family because he wasn't there to protect them. This time, he wasn't letting her out of his sight. He was not going to lose her."The emperor's men aren't coming tonight," Zeus said, his low voice breaking the heavy silence. "Gabriel is a coward. He waits for rep
STAY BACK
The gaunt, gray-skinned creature hissed, its pale eyes locked onto Zeus. But before it could spring forward, Zeus did something completely unexpected. He lowered his weapon."Alex, stop," Zeus commanded, his voice echoing off the damp stone walls.Alex, who had just freed Juliana’s hands from the ropes, looked up in absolute bewilderment. "What do you mean, stop? The ropes are cut. We need to get her out of here right now!""No," Zeus said flatly. "Put the ropes back.""Are you insane?" Alex yelled, standing up and shielding Juliana with his own body. "Look around you! We are surrounded by monsters, my daughter is terrified, and you want to leave her tied to a chair?"From the corner of the chamber, Afam watched Zeus closely. The fighter didn't move, his muscles relaxed but ready. He was judging Zeus, trying to see if the legendary warrior had finally cracked under the pressure."Think, General," Zeus said, his voice entirely devoid of panic. "Why was she left here alive? Why was the
FIGHTING WITH SHADOWS
The old military jeep bounced violently as General Alex navigated the uneven terrain of the dense forest. The headlights cut through the thickening mist, casting long, eerie shadows against the ancient trees. Inside the vehicle, the silence was heavy, broken only by the groaning of the suspension and the distant howl of the wind.Zeus sat in the passenger seat, his eyes fixed on the darkness ahead. He was a man of action, a warrior whose reputation preceded him, but here, in the heart of the wild, even his legendary instincts seemed muffled. He was searching for a scent, a sign, a broken twig—anything that would lead him to Juliana. But the woods were cold and indifferent.In the back seat sat Afam, the prisoner fighter they had liberated. His hands were no longer bound, but he sat as still as a statue, his face a mask of weary indifference. He had watched the drama at the barracks with a cynical eye, and now, as they drove aimlessly into the deep green void, his patience was wearing
