One-night Stand

Miguel's hand crept to his face in shock. "Did you just slap me?" he asked Annabelle. Shock was written all over his face. Nothing like this had ever happened. Annabelle folded her arms across her chest and stared back at him without any sign of remorse. "I would do it again if you don't learn to accept your place," she told him coldly. "My... place?" Miguel said. He would be angry that she hit him in the face, but at that point he hadn't fully understood what was happening. Just then, Mrs. Adolfo stepped forward to stand in front of him, just beside her daughter, Annabelle. "Enough of your ranting," she said to  Miguel. "Ranting is all you can do. While your mates are out there making money, you are ignorant of everything else."

Elias Ward was raised to be a weapon. For nineteen years, his purpose has been to hunt the lycans that threaten his small community. He is a master of the hunt, shaped by duty. But his life is built on lies. On a moonless night, the creature he is sent to kill speaks his name. The truth shatters him. His brutal transformation reveals the blood he carries, the one he was taught to fear. The parents who raised him hid everything.

His new path pulls him between man and monster, justice and revenge, as he confronts the past that shaped him. But can a boy who was raised to be a weapon ever learn to be a protector? And in a war for the soul of two worlds, which side will he ultimately choose?

years after the world was nearly destroyed by the Last Plague, humanity clings to survival under the fragile illusion of order. The “Cure” has stopped the infection but not the guilt, madness, or memories left behind. Dr. Nella Rider, a court-appointed psychiatrist, is assigned to the most infamous trial in human history: the Plague Tribunal. Her task is to determine whether Dr. Adrian Pazzo, the brilliant scientist accused of unleashing the virus, is mentally competent to stand trial and whether his remorse is genuine. Inside the frozen halls of the world’s most secure prison, Nella meets Pazzo for the first time, a gaunt, hollow-eyed man who radiates both intellect and menace. His words are measured, his humor unsettling, and his sanity fragile. Yet as Nella digs deeper, she begins to suspect that the truth behind the Plague and the mysterious “Last Cure” that saved humanity is far more complicated than the world wants to hear

With the Nine Cycles of Samsara carved into his soul and the Dragon Seal at his side, Kael’s path begins anew. The family that scorned him will learn fear. The rivals who mocked him will kneel. And the world will remember the name they once spat on. He is no longer trash. He is the War Dragon.

When gods bleed, mortals awaken… Centuries ago, the gods fell, and from their corpses flowed Eclipse Veins glowing rivers of divine blood that reshaped the world. Those who dared to drink from them gained unimaginable power… and lost pieces of their humanity in return. Now, as the last eclipse rises, the veins are dying and so is the empire that depends on them. Chaos spreads across the fractured lands, and those born under the eclipse are marked as Cursed Descendants hunted, feared, and executed. Riven Kael, a disciplined young soldier, never believed in fate until the night his veins ignited silver on the battlefield and everything he touched turned to ash. Branded a monster and forced to flee, Riven crosses paths with Lyra Vale, a mysterious girl who claims to be the reincarnation of the moon goddess herself. Lyra knows Riven’s secret the god’s voice whispering in his blood is the same one that once destroyed the heavens. To save what remains of humanity, Riven must uncover the truth behind his divine curse before the Eclipse Veins collapse completely… or become the god who ends the world a second time. But love was never part of the prophecy. And when a goddess falls for a god-killer, the stars themselves will tremble.

Aella “whirlwind” Harlow was looking at the screen of her phone with earbuds on, the live speech of Aniya Rossi in the United Nations. She sighed and mumbled when it ended, “Dumbass… Werewolves accepted by society, protectors, helping Humanity achieve greatness. Yeah, greatness my butt! A good Werewolf is a dead Werewolf! Spoiled brat… Stupid bitch…” She checked her quiver, counting the darts still there. A quick glance at the pistol crossbow on the left side of her belt, and at the Ruger gun inside the holster under her left armpit. Grabbing her faithful Labrys, a double edge axe, was the last thing she did before hearing a howl nearby. Aella frowned and mumbled, “Showtime…” (It is the sequel of "The Flesh-Eating Werewolf", set 20 years in the future, but can be read as a stand alone, but with minor mentions to events in the first story, and some previous characters that will appear in this story.)
