the unwelcome ceremony

Humanity believed it was the rightful ruler of Earth. They built cities upon forests, drained rivers into deserts, and slaughtered countless creatures for convenience and profit. In their arrogance, they crowned themselves as the ultimate predator. But predators must prove their worth. One ordinary day, a voice descended from the sky. It was not spoken in any human tongue, yet its meaning burned directly into the minds of those who heard it: “You are no longer fit to be predators.” Only a fraction of the population perceived the message. For them, the judgment was undeniable. Yet the majority dismissed it as hysteria, rumor, or delusion. Nations scrambled to suppress panic, calling it a hoax. Religious factions clashed, each claiming the voice as divine revelation. The world began to fracture—not only between nations, but between those who heard and those who did not. Then came the sound. A piercing wave—like the cry of a dolphin, amplified beyond endurance—swept across the globe. Billions collapsed in an instant. Animals remained untouched. When the echoes faded, only tens of thousands of humans were left alive. Among them was Ian, an environmental engineer who had spent his life designing systems to heal poisoned rivers and dying ecosystems. Branded unstable by his peers and even ridiculed by his younger brother, Ian had lived in isolation long before the purge began. Now, survival forced him to face the full horror of humanity’s downfall. From the skies appeared incomprehensible mathematical formulas, symbols no human had ever written. Those who solved them were taken into the heavens, hailed as “chosen.” Yet Ian discovered the dreadful truth: the chosen were not saved. They were kept. Fed, chained, and slaughtered—just as humans had treated pigs, cows, and chickens for centuries. Amid the ruins of civilization, the survivors turned on one another. Those who heard the voice fought those who denied it. Governments collapsed, replaced by chaos, fanaticism, and violence. And as humanity devoured itself in desperation, the sky split once more. From the rift emerged towering figures, eerily human in form yet impossibly vast—predators that dwarfed mankind. For Ian, survival is no longer freedom. To be chosen is not salvation. He carries the burden of witnessing humanity’s final fall: the predator reduced to prey. Predetor is a dystopian science fiction thriller that asks a single haunting question: What if humanity was never Earth’s rightful predator at all?

I once believed alpha Fernando was the true mate the Moon Goddess had chosen for me. He held me tightly during the Blood Moon riots. He stoked the fire as I brewed purification potions. He even declared before the entire Blackthorn Pack, “Thalia is my light.” Until the night before our engagement banquet, when the soulstone in my palm leapt from the gilded invitation— He was bonding with his cousin Bianca. That Beta girl who always sneered at me, saying, “A Gamma, touching an Alpha? Laughable.” Her spirit mark was etched into the corner of the card. Like a silver blade carved into my heart. Then alpha Fernando’s voice bled through the soulstone, laced with frost I’d never heard before: “She? Just a warm body in my bed.” “She really thought I sent her to the Highland Summit because I valued her? I just needed space for Bianca.” His laughter, mingled with clinking wineglasses in the background, pierced me like a dagger dipped in silver poison. “Once the bond’s sealed, I’ll toss her aside with any excuse— She loves me so much, she’d drink silver and call it moonlight.” my wolf Leona whispered in my mind, “The girl who dares tear down the illusion… is the one who will hold true moonlight in her hands.” I unbound the sealed Guardian sigil on my wrist and tuned the soulstone to the Silverclaw Pack’s private frequency. “Alpha Ross,” I said, licking away the tears from the corner of my eye, my voice colder than moonlight, “I’m ready now— To be your Luna.”

I had an agreement with Caspian Shawn, the Alpha of the Shawn Pack. He promised he would attend the 99th bonding ceremony I’d prepared. But he didn't come. That day, he appeared at the Full Moon Gala with his lover, Seraphine Dubois. An image of them kissing under the moonlight spread like wildfire across the pack networks. Meanwhile, I became a lonely spectacle at the Altar of the Moon Goddess. Speculation about the ceremony ran rampant. Every wolf wanted to know when I would hold the 100th ceremony. Out of guilt, Caspian assured me he would be there next time. But when he finally made his way to the Altar of the Moon Goddess, all he received was a cold message through our mind-link. "There won't be a 100th time. We're over."

The supernatural and the ordinary in the world are only separated by the darkness and the media. Daniel, like many other ordinary people, has no idea about the truth of the world until he accidentally picked up a pocket watch in the library at 3am when he accidentally fell asleep. He fell into a deep hole and a message appeared in front of him, like many novels on the internet. The system called him, but the supernatural power he held seemed to be different from other people with superpowers. In the end, was he a player, an ordinary person or... a madman?

My husband, Julian Thorne, is the head of the Chicago Outfit. After our secret marriage, he promised a grand ceremony to officially name me his Donna. He only ever made that promise when he needed to appease his mistress, Cassandra Vance. Over three years, he canceled this crucial ceremony three times, using excuses that always seemed to circle back to Cassandra. He left me to face the whispers and scorn of his inner circle alone. Whenever my heart broke and I protested, Julian would wave away my concerns. He’d claim Cassandra was just a “tool” and that I was the one he truly loved, telling me not to get hung up on titles. After the third public humiliation, I finally went numb. I decided to end it. I slid a power of attorney for all his assets—disguised as a design contract for a new casino—in front of him. "Sign this," I told him, "and we can start over."
