Ethan’s last words, "I’m just making you all choose," hung in the room like smoke.“Choose what, exactly?” Cavill barked. "Are you trying to manipulate us back into serving The Order again? That’s what this is, right?” He jabbed a finger in Ethan’s direction. "Even if you’re truly the King of the World, what you’ve done—cornering us, dragging us into your mess—it’s not something a true King would do. It’s cheap. Fucking cheap!"Magnus’s brows drew together. He could feel the meeting spiraling fast, and Ethan’s nonchalant smirk wasn’t helping.Magnus decided to step in.“Cavill,” he said calmly, his voice the only steady thing in the room, “I apologize on my son's behalf. But he has his reasons.” He glanced around at them and explained why the clash with The Shadow happened.“They hit us first. And if we had just sat back and done nothing, they would’ve kept walking all over us—disrespecting us like we’re nothing. That would’ve been a slap in the face to everything this cult stands
Chapter 150
The underground hall looked just the same as the last time Ethan, Magnus, and the five ex-members of The Order had gathered there.The air still held the tension from their last encounter.Now, those five familiar faces were seated around the long table once again.They all looked up as Magnus and Ethan entered, their footsteps echoing softly across the stone floor.“Sorry to keep you waiting,” Magnus said as they approached. "We had to deal with something… important.”Clara Mendez, her red nails rhythmically tapping the table, let out a scoff. "I’m guessing it was something really important to keep us hanging this long?”Magnus didn’t respond. He just took his seat in silence.Ethan followed and sat beside him. He looked relaxed, like none of this bothered him.There was a short silence, then Ethan leaned back slightly and smiled. “I have some news.”Duke Cavill chuckled dryly and raised a brow. "What is it this time? Another one of your pranks to make us believe you’re the King of

Gasps shattered the stillness of the chamber, and fear rippled through the air like a disease.Some members sat rigid, while others rose to their feet in disbelief, hands twitching near the hilts of their hidden weapons. A few simply stared, mouths parted, unable to believe what the guard had just confirmed.Magnus stood firm at the center of the chaos, calm as a breeze, watching the ripple of confusion with mild amusement.“You… you took down all the guards?” one man stuttered.“Without a sound?” another whispered.“What the hell?!"From the far end of the table, a tall, lean woman with short, sharp hair stepped forward. Her name was Seraphine—once a member of The Order, now a loyal Shadow.“You’ve got some nerves, Magnus,” she said."Did you even think this through? Or are you ready to face whatever comes next?”Magnus turned his gaze to her. A slow smirk crept across his face.“Think it through?” he chuckled softly. "Seraphine, you should know better than most. I never do anythi

The chamber was a cavernous hall.High above, iron chandeliers hung like skeletal hands, their flickering candles casting shadows across the walls. The air was thick with the scent of burning wax.Nearly three hundred figures filled the room. The outer rings consisted of newer members—mostly young adults in their twenties.The middle tier was made up of seasoned members, maybe fifty or sixty people who had earned their stripes through years of loyalty. They dressed more deliberately, wearing small silver pins or patches that marked their rank.At the very center of the room was a round stone platform slightly elevated above the rest.That was where the Seven, the high council of The Shadow, sat in a tight semicircle on thrones carved from polished wood—each throne different, designed to reflect its occupant’s influence.The Grand Chair, placed at the front and center, was the most intricate. It belonged to Viktor, known as The Phantom General. He wore a robe darker than death, and h

Inside the room, Ethan lay still on the bed—eyes closed, body motionless—like a mannequin, unmoving even at the sound of the door, unresponsive to her presence.His skin was pale, but not lifeless. His chest rose and fell in a steady rhythm, yet he looked like someone who hadn’t woken in days.By his side, Magnus sat on a wooden chair, his large frame hunched slightly forward. He held Ethan’s hand tightly, his fingers interlaced with Ethan's as if he was trying to transfer strength into his lifeless body.His eyes slowly lifted to meet hers.“You’re awake,” he said with a calm smile that didn’t match the worry still clinging to his eyes.She nodded slowly, her eyes glued to Ethan. “What happened to him?” Her voice was shaky. "Was he hurt when he came with his men to save me?”Magnus exhaled softly and shook his head. "Ethan didn’t come with them. It was Marcel who led the team.”Upon hearing that, her heart sank and her fist clenched instinctively."So he didn’t even bother to come
Chapter 146
A soft breeze fluttered the curtain’s edge, scattering golden sunlight across the ivory sheets.From somewhere outside, the faint call of a bird drifted in, stirring Lara awake as her eyelids slowly fluttered open.For a few seconds, she just lay there, her mind struggling to process the warm sunlight soaking into her skin.The last thing she remembered was the metallic taste of blood in her mouth and the sharp, tearing pain in her stomach before everything went black.Her breath caught in her throat as the thought hit her—had she actually survived? Was she alive? Or was this just a dream?Panicked, her fingers moved before anything else—shaky and slow—as she lifted her right hand to look at it. Her arm felt strangely light.Her chest, instead of aching, rose and fell without resistance. Then, she drew her knees upward under the blanket, flexing her toes and legs. Still nothing. No pain. No burning. Not even the soreness one would expect after having death sit on your chest.Her lip
