Chapter 1Chapter One

There was a noticeable tension in the lavish, darkly lighted workplace of the tall tower. Rich mahogany furniture and exquisite artwork decorated the room, but the creepy aura that surrounded the two occupants overwhelmed all of its grandeur.

The first individual sat behind an elaborate desk, holding the position of CEO of a major corporation. His hair was wild and unruly, and he looked disheveled. His eyes had been calculating and bright, but now they were filled with an unfathomable blackness that contrasted sharply with their customary gleam of ambition. He let out a raspy, heavy sigh as if there were something heavy resting on his shoulders.

In sharp contrast to the CEO who was possessed, there was another man who stood in front of the desk. His face was filled with an expression of pure dread, and his eyes were wide. Drops of sweat beaded his brow, and his shaking palms gripped the edge of the desk for stability. He was filled with fear, yet he forced himself to remain calm.

The CEO broke the stifling silence with a voice that had an unearthly tone. His comments seemed less like a human voice and more like a sinister incantation "You can't escape me," he spat out. 

The man with big eyes retreated a step, his heart racing. He was aware that confronting a force that was incomprehensible to humans was dangerous. However, he also realized that maintaining his composure was the only way he could guarantee his survival. 

The CEO seemed to be under a spell, and the atmosphere seemed to get colder as the seconds passed. It seemed as though a dark force had settled inside of him and was in charge of his every move and speech. 

Just as the tension was about to explode, The heavy oak door to the office swung open, revealing a composed and perceptive secretary. She knew the CEO had a concerning condition for a long time, and she kept her superhuman senses close to her vest.

The secretary snapped her fingers in one quick, practiced motion, alerting the on-guard bodyguards waiting in the hallway. With a precision that belied their many rehearsals, they flanked the wide-eyed man and made sure he was secure as they entered the room.

The CEO's possessed form, sensing a threat to its hold on the situation, let out an unearthly shriek that chilled the blood of those present. He lunged forward, but the bodyguards, trained for such an eventuality, swiftly and carefully led the wide-eyed man out of the room.

As they retreated, the secretary's piercing eyes remained fixed on the possessed CEO. She locked the office door behind them, sealing the room with its malevolent presence inside.

The moment the door closed, chaos erupted within the confines of the office. Inhuman screams echoed through the thick walls, reverberating throughout the building. The possessed CEO, now fully under the influence of the demonic entity, unleashed his wrath upon the room.

The secretary sensed the unrest intensifying and realized it was too late to step in. She gave the all-clear for staff to leave the floor, her heart heavy. A panic broke out among the staff as they scrambled to get away from the approaching storm.

Amidst the panicked departure, there was a huge, thunderous crash coming from the CEO's office, and then there was a strange, deafening silence. Whatever was left in the room served as a terrifying reminder of the evil powers that lurked in the shadows after it had witnessed a demonic rampage.

The door was locked, a wall dividing the unknown horrors inside from the unwary outside world. The staff members assembled in silent clusters, their eyes heavy with fear, realizing that the deranged CEO's attack had only barely begun. 

Hours passed and the usual teams of experts, well-versed in dealing with supernatural phenomena, assembled outside the sealed office. They prepared to once again confront the entity that had taken possession of the CEO and find a way to "exorcize" it from his tortured soul. 

Experts had come and gone. Yes, they would get him to be at ease for a few days. The best teams had helped him maintain serenity and composure for five days; a week at most but all their efforts always proved useless in the long run as the dark ones would always come back. 

They heard soft murmurs, like the far-off echoes of a troubled soul, as they stood in front of the locked door. The paranormal specialists were aware that they were going to confront a force greater than anything they had ever encountered, one that would put their bravery and ability to the ultimate test.

Trepidation gripped them as they opened the door and entered the space. It was clear what had happened after the demonic rampage. Ruined furniture, broken glass all over the floor, and strange, ancient symbols painted in blood covered the walls.

The CEO had lost consciousness and was slumped in a corner, appearing to be dead. With their charms and incantations ready for protection, the experts approached with caution.

Moments later, muffled screams emanated from the sealed room, their piercing cries echoing through the corridor. The possessed CEO, overcome by the malevolent spirit, unleashed a storm of chaos within. Furniture toppled, glass shattered, and the room itself seemed to groan in torment.

Then, there was a deafening crash, followed by an unsettling silence. The building, which had borne witness to the horrific episode, felt an oppressive heaviness in the air.

It was clear that the CEO had been grievously injured in the violent struggle. As the minutes passed, the demonic spirits began to recede, leaving behind a lifeless and battered vessel.

Outside the office, emergency services had been summoned. An ambulance arrived, its flashing lights casting an eerie, blue glow over the scene. Paramedics rushed into the building, their faces tense and prepared for the worst.

As they cautiously entered the room, they found the victim lying amidst the wreckage. His body was battered, his clothes torn, and his once-suited form now a gruesome sight.

The paramedics worked quickly, assessing his injuries and stabilizing him. They knew that the hospital was the only place where they could provide the necessary care for a recovery that was far from assured.

"This is the fifth attack in two months, I really don't know how much more he can take" A worried paramedic managed to mutter out amidst the chaos and tension. 

As if on cue, A disheveled woman ran towards the seemingly lifeless body with a panicked look on her face and an equally worried man behind him. 

"Mr Simmons" 

"Piers"

Betrayed by Blood, Claimed by the Alpha

“P-please let me go..” I stammered and before I knew it, I was word vomiting while crying. “—I won’t return. You won’t ever see me again. I know you don’t want me as a mate. You hate me, so please let me go.” I cried out. Cain’s jaw tightened with each word that left my lips “What gave you the idea that you have the power to choose what you want?” His voice was low, “You don’t get to decide what, how, and when you leave. Only I get to do that. You don’t get to leave me, you don’t get to run! You only leave when I want you to.” "I didn’t ask for this,” I whispered, trembling. “I didn’t ask to be your mate.” Cain stepped back, “Neither did I,” he muttered under his breath. “But the bond doesn’t give us a choice, does it?” ~~~~ As the only child of her late Alpha father, Avery Jae was meant to inherit her family’s legacy. But on the day of her arranged marriage to Alpha Lucian, her world crumbles.

Mated To The Cruel Prince

[Matured Content] Saving an injured Fae in the forest had not been Islinda's plan, and worse, he turns out to be royalty, Prince Valerie of the summer court, heir and crown prince to the throne of Astaria. But then, humans were wary of those otherworldly creatures while the Fae looked down on the humans, thinking of them as lesser creatures. Islinda and the prince were worlds apart but that didn't stop them from falling in love.  Unfortunately, Prince Valerie couldn't stay in the human realm forever and had to return to his kingdom with a promise to come back for her. And she believed him.  But then, the other one comes instead.  Dark, broody, ruthless yet dangerously handsome, everyone feared Prince Aldric. Even as a fierce warrior and son to the king of Astaria, Aldric is denied his right to the throne and cursed never to take his place because of his dark heritage.  Twisted from the inside and starved of affection, Prince Aldric does what he is best at, causing misery. He captured  Islinda - the woman who has drawn his brother's attention. He stole her from her home for his cruel purpose. If he couldn't have the throne, he could at least play around with his brother's love interest. His new prize.  Islinda hated him. Loathed him for taking away everything that she could have had with the summer prince. He's the villain. Now she has been dragged into the middle of the dirty politics played in the courts of Astaria, not to mention surviving the cold games played by the prince.  But all hope wasn't lost because the cruel prince could tempt her all he wants but he was never going to get the one thing he wants the most. To be loved. He would never have her heart!  Or could he?  ________ "What can you offer me, little human," He grinned, slow and cruel. She would make such a wonderful plaything.  "Please," She begged him, tears now gathering in her eyes, "Just let me go."  "Fine," He shrugged as if it was an easy request, "You can go."  "W-what?" She croaked, finding it hard to believe.  "Little human, you would find out my mind changes very easily." Those words sounded merciful yet she could sense the threat beneath.  But did he really mean?  Islinda didn't sit around to find out as she broke into a sprint. If there was even the slightest chance of him changing his mind, then she would take it. She would not give up hope yet.  She didn't know why but Islinda spared a look over her shoulder after a while and the blood drained from her face at what she saw coming.  Oh no, she just made a terrible mistake.  This was never freedom.  It was a hunt.  And she just became the prey.  _________ Note: This is a dark fantasy book and the male lead is a villain, so don't expect fluffy romance. What to expect? Death, gore, thick sexual tension, and explicit scenes. Also, it is not reverse harem. Gift magic castle = 5 bonus chapters! Come, let us have a wild hunt!
