Five of them showed up, thinking they could cause mayhem. I wasn't about to let that happen. I let out a fierce howl, making sure they knew I was on the scene.

In a year when life was a constant struggle, she made a fateful decision. Taking on her sister's identity, she became the caretaker of her sister's fiancé, who had been robbed of his sight. The lure of half a million was too great to resist. When his vision finally returned, like a shadow in the night, she vanished without a trace. Fate, however, had other plans. Their paths converged once more at a high-stakes business interview. She was a mere intern reporter, lost in the sea of anonymity, while he had reclaimed his position as the dashing young executive heir to the Xavier Luxury Group. A reporter probed, “Rumor has it that during your difficult days, your fiancée, Miss Zimmerman, was an unwavering presence. Are the nuptials just around the corner?” With a confident smile and a glimmer of the ring on his finger, he declared, “Indeed, our engagement is imminent.” But beneath those stylish glasses, his gaze involuntarily wandered to her, tucked away in a forgotten corner, as if an invisible force was drawing him to her.

David Wilson
9.8

A smirk played upon my countenance as I traced the sleek surface of my iPhone. A slight nod was all it took to set my men in motion. In a heartbeat, the adversaries lay in a pool of their own gore. My stare bored into hers, and she met it unflinchingly. Where others cowered, she stood bold. Her captivating, wide-eyed gaze only served to kindle a fire within me. I advanced towards her with purpose, my arm coiling around her slender waist. She felt like a delicate rose petal, fragile yet intoxicating. I was resolute in my intention. Gripping her close, I vaulted over the balustrade. Duante Rego, a colossus in the international business arena and the unforgiving Mafia Monarch, is a paragon of ruthlessness and might. His path of destruction is legendary, until he crosses paths with a vision of loveliness, her long tresses cascading like a waterfall. In a brazen act of dominance, he seizes her as his bride, the muzzle of his gun a persuasive argument. Eveleen Kashyap, a saccharine, jovial, and guileless maiden, has always dwelt in a world far from the mafia's malevolence. Yet, a routine family gathering with her comrades morphs into a life-defining odyssey. First, she endures a harrowing abduction, and then, she faces the all-consuming Emperor of the Mafia, who entwines her fate with his own as his wife.

I was frantic, my heart pounding as I willed my legs to carry me out of that hut. But they were like lead, refusing to budge. Then, a growl, so loud it seemed to shake the very walls, erupted from within. It was a continuous, menacing rumble that made my blood run cold. As I stood there, trembling, a pair of eyes, glowing with an otherworldly light, pierced through the darkness and fixed on me. My hand shaking violently, I aimed my flashlight at them and gasped. There, in front of me, was a behemoth of a wolf, a full ten feet tall, rearing up on its hind legs. Its muscles bulged, a terrifying display of power, and its eyes burned like embers from the deepest pits of hell. I was paralyzed with disbelief, the flashlight slipping from my nerveless fingers. It took a moment for my mind to register that this was the mythical creature I had never dreamed of encountering on this cursed night. I staggered backwards, desperate for an escape route. The werewolf lunged at me with a speed that defied belief. I opened my mouth to scream, but only a choked silence came out as I crashed onto my back. In an instant, the beast was looming over me, its gaze seeming to bore into my very essence as its massive paws pinned me down. Tears streamed uncontrollably down my face, a mixture of despair and a fear so intense it was crippling. That monstrous being seemed like the embodiment of death itself. A glob of its drool landed perilously close to my face, and I writhed in revulsion. "Aaron?" I managed to croak, my voice barely audible. The beast gave no indication it had heard me, as if my words were nothing more than a faint breeze. I squeezed my eyes shut, bracing myself for what I was certain would be a fatal blow.
