THE PHOENIX REVENGE
At seven, my father returned with his mistress and my half-brother, who was only a few weeks older than me.
Under my mother's grief-stricken and despairing eyes, my father ruthlessly kicked us out.
I always knew that my father wanted a supernaturally awakened and talented heir, however, I didn't fit the bill because I couldn't awaken any special talents and didn't show outstanding academic abilities.
Moreover, my uncles and aunts were eyeing my father's position, eager to overthrow him and take his place.
Competitors also harbored ill intentions towards our family, watching my father like a hawk.
In this treacherous situation, my father rekindled his relationship with his mistress, the second daughter of a noble family from the Royal City.
Finally, my father no longer concealed his pre-marital affair.
After making it public, he brought his mistress and her talented son back home to replace my mother and me.
To survive, my mother had no choice but to take me into hiding, changing our identities and fleeing to a remote town to escape their grasp and settle down.
What my father didn't know was that I didn't lack talent; my talent was simply too strong, requiring an immense amount of energy to awaken, energy that my weak seven-year-old self couldn't handle.
Eleven years later, I had grown up and finally awakened my superlative talent, becoming a renowned genius in the remote town.
I never thought about going back to confront my father or seeking revenge on his mistress because they weren't worth my mother's and my time!
My mother and I are doing well now.
I believe with my talent and effort, our lives will only get better.
However, I overestimated the goodness in people, and underestimated their malice!

Chapter: CHAPTER NINE: THE FIRST LESSON The morning air was crisp, and a faint mist clung to the ground. Inside the cabin, Kai stirred from his sleep, the remnants of uneasy dreams still lingering in his mind. He had spent much of the night pouring over the ancient book that Rylan had given him, absorbing as much knowledge as he could before exhaustion finally claimed him.Kai sat up in bed, rubbing his eyes and stretching out the stiffness in his muscles. He could already hear Rylan moving about outside, the sound of rustling leaves and the occasional snap of a twig filtering through the walls of the cabin. Kai took a deep breath, steeling himself for the day ahead. Today, his training would begin, and he was determined to make the most of it.He got up and dressed quickly, his movements driven by a growing sense of urgency. As he stepped outside, the cool morning air hit his face, refreshing him instantly. Rylan was standing a short distance away, his back turned as he looked out over the valley below.

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHT: UNRAVELING THE PASTLThe next morning, the sun barely pierced through the thick canopy of trees surrounding the cabin. The small beams of light that did manage to filter through seemed low, as if the forest itself was trying to keep their presence a secret. Inside the cabin, the warmth of the hearth from the night before had faded, leaving a slight chill in the air.Kai woke to the sound of Rylan moving about quietly. The events of the previous day flooded back to him, and a sense of urgency pushed away the lingering drowsiness. He sat up on the small bed, rubbing his eyes as he tried to shake off the last traces of sleep.Rylan noticed him stirring and nodded in acknowledgment. “Morning,” he said, his tone brisk but not unfriendly. “We have a lot to discuss.”Kai nodded, swinging his legs off the bed and standing up. He felt the soreness in his muscles from their escape through the mountains, but he pushed it aside. “I’m ready,” he said, his voice firm. He needed answers, and he needed to be prepared fo

Chapter: CHAPTER SEVEN: THE PURSUIT The darkness at the cave entrance grew thicker, almost tangible. Kai’s heart pounded in his chest as he stared at the shadow, his breath coming in short, anxious bursts. The man across from him, who had so far been calm and collected, now appeared genuinely concerned.The menacing voice from the entrance sent a chill through Kai. “Who are they?” he asked urgently. “What do they want?”The man’s face was grim. “They are agents of the Dark Order, a secretive and powerful faction that seeks to control all supernatural beings. They’ve learned of your awakening and will stop at nothing to capture you.”Kai’s mind raced. “The Dark Order… What can we do?”“We need to leave,” the man replied, rising to his feet. “They’ve found us sooner than I expected. We’ll use the back exit of the cave. Follow me, and stay quiet.”Without waiting for a response, the man moved swiftly to a narrow passage at the back of the cave. Kai quickly stood and followed, his senses alert. The passage was tight and dim

Chapter: CHAPTER SIX: THE HIDDEN CAVE The climb up the mountain grew increasingly difficult. Kai’s muscles ached with every step, and the cold air stung his lungs. His breath came in visible puffs, and the biting wind made his eyes water. The narrow path twisted through the rocky terrain, and he had to be careful with every step. His previous near-fall had left him shaken, and the mysterious figure's appearance only added to his confusion.Kai reached a small clearing where the path seemed to widen. Exhausted, he took a moment to catch his breath. The forest below was a distant memory, shrouded in fog and shadow. The soldiers would be searching for him, but he hoped they wouldn’t find this high up. Still, he couldn’t afford to be complacent.As he rested, Kai noticed something odd. To one side of the clearing, partially obscured by overgrown shrubs and rocks, was a dark entrance to a cave. It wasn’t large, but it looked like a potential refuge. Given the circumstances, it seemed like the safest option available.Kai appr

Chapter: CHAPTER FIVE: THE MOUNTAIN PATHKai ran as fast as his legs could carry him, his heart pounding in his chest. The village of Pinewood quickly disappeared behind him as he sprinted toward the mountains. The path was steep and rocky, and the air grew colder with each step he took. But Kai didn’t dare slow down. The soldiers were coming, and he had no idea how much time he had before they caught up.The forest thinned out as Kai climbed higher, giving way to rough terrain and jagged cliffs. The path wound its way up the mountain, twisting and turning as it ascended. Kai’s breath came in short gasps, his legs burning with effort, but he pushed on, determined to escape.He glanced back over his shoulder, hoping to catch a glimpse of the village below. But the trees and rocks blocked his view, and all he could see was the path behind him, empty and silent. Kai’s mind raced with thoughts of Elder Orin and the villagers. Had the soldiers reached them already? Were they in danger because of him?Kai shook his head, trying to

Chapter: CHAPTER FOUR: THE AFTERMATH Kai awoke to the sound of birds chirping and the feeling of soft grass beneath him. Slowly, he opened his eyes, squinting against the bright sunlight filtering through the trees above. For a moment, he lay still, trying to make sense of what had happened.The last thing he remembered was the rooftop, the golden flames, and Lila’s scream. Now, he was in a forest, far from the rooftop where everything had gone wrong. His body ached, and he felt drained, as if all the energy had been sucked out of him.Kai slowly sat up, looking around. The forest was peaceful, with tall trees and thick bushes surrounding him. The air was fresh and cool, carrying the scent of pine and earth. It was hard to believe that only a short while ago, he had been fighting for his life.“How did I get here?” Kai wondered aloud, his voice weak. He tried to stand, but his legs were shaky, and he almost fell back down. Taking a deep breath, he steadied himself and managed to stay on his feet.The voice inside him, th

BEYOND YOUR REACH
After five years of a secret marriage, my wife, a cold and renowned chef, suddenly asked for a divorce. I smiled bitterly, left with nothing, and embarked on an extraordinary path, becoming an acclaimed automotive expert and a successful entrepreneur.
Post-divorce, she regretted deeply after watching me, her former husband, dazzling and captivating countless hearts in the automotive world. She wished she hadn't acted rashly. Wanting to win me back, she even begged to visit my high-end car shop, hoping to reignite our old flame of love.
"Honey, am I not captivating enough? Come back to me, please. I want to rebuild our life together."
I frowned slightly, lips parting in a cold voice, "Madam, please restrain yourself. I am not your husband; so don't make such shameless claims. If you want to find fulfillment, please turn left and walk out the door to find whatever person you can."
Once, you looked down on me and treated me like trash. Now, I stand at the peak of success, beyond your reach.

Chapter: CHAPTER 82As dawn broke over the horizon, casting warm hues of orange and gold across the landscape, Leon and his team returned to their pack’s territory with newfound resolve. The knowledge they had gained from the Seer weighed heavily on their minds. The urgency of their quest pressed down on them like a thick fog, shrouding any thoughts of comfort or ease.Gathering the pack, Leon relayed the Seer’s message. “The first seal lies in the Shadow Caverns beneath the Western Pack. We must leave immediately if we’re to reach it before it’s too late.”The murmurs of concern swept through the crowd, but Leon raised a hand to silence them. “I know the dangers we face, but the fate of our world hangs in the balance. We cannot afford to hesitate.”Iris stepped forward, her expression resolute. “I will gather supplies and reinforce our defenses. If we’re going to confront whatever guards the seal, we need to be prepared for anything.”Leon nodded, appreciating her leadership. “We’ll need to move fast, b

Chapter: CHAPTER 81Leon considered Iris's words, realizing who she was talking about. An enigmatic figure, known as the Seer, lived in isolation at the borderlands between the packs. Few had seen him, and those who had described him as a recluse, speaking only in cryptic messages. It was rumored he had the power to see beyond time and space—perfect for finding the ancient seals.Leon frowned. “If we’re truly going to protect the seals, we don’t have a choice. I’ll go find the Seer.”Iris’s gaze hardened. “You shouldn’t go alone. The path to his territory is dangerous, and if anyone’s watching us, they’ll know what we’re up to. We’ll need to be prepared for trouble.”Leon thought for a moment. “You’re right. I’ll take Greg and two others with me. I’ll need warriors who can handle themselves if anything goes wrong.”The pack prepared quickly, selecting the two warriors best suited for the journey: Orion, known for his keen senses and tactical mind, and Elara, a swift scout with extensive knowledge of the

The revelation about the ancient seals had shifted the entire scope of their conflict. No longer was this a simple war between packs, but a battle for survival against an enemy that had existed for centuries.The forest was eerily quiet as they made their way back to the Blue Moon Pack. Leon glanced at Greg, his closest confidant, and saw the same determination reflected in his eyes.“We’re in over our heads, aren’t we?” Greg muttered, his brow furrowed in thought.Leon sighed. “It seems like that. But what choice do we have? We need to find the seals and protect them. If we fail, it’s the end of everything. The packs, the humans, the entire world. We can’t let that happen.”Greg nodded, his expression hardening. “We’ll need more than just our pack for this. The other packs will have to join us, and that’s going to be the hardest part.”Leon knew Greg was

Chapter: CHAPTER 79At the break of dawn, Leon, Greg, and a small team of their most trusted warriors made their way north through the dense forest. The early morning mist clung to the trees, making visibility difficult, but their keen senses guided them toward the Northern Pack’s territory. Leon's heart was heavy with the unknown that awaited them. The Northern Pack was a mystery to most of the other packs, known for their isolation and unwillingness to engage in external affairs. But if they were moving south, something big was happening.Greg broke the silence after a few miles. “Do you really think they’ll agree to meet with us?”Leon glanced at him, his expression unreadable. “They’ll meet with us. They don’t have a choice anymore.”As they approached the border of the Northern Pack's land, a deep growl rumbled through the trees. The team immediately halted, their senses heightened. From the shadows, several wolves appeared, their sleek, dark coats nearly blending into the mist. At the front of the

Chapter: CHAPTER 78Leon, Amira, and Lucia emerged from the chamber, the tension of their recent encounter still clinging to them. As they stepped into the cool night air, Leon's mind was already racing with the next steps they needed to take. Whatever ancient force Marcus had awakened, they were running out of time to stop it."We have to gather the packs," Leon said decisively, his gaze fixed ahead as they made their way through the forest. "We can't face this alone."Amira glanced at him, her expression resolute. "You think they’ll believe us? The packs have never worked together like this. They won’t trust each other, especially not after the tensions Marcus has been stirring.""We don't have a choice," Leon replied. "If we don’t unite them, this thing will destroy everything. They’ll have to listen, whether they like it or not."Lucia, still visibly shaken from the dark memories she had glimpsed in Marcus's mind, remained silent as they walked. She knew Leon was right, but convincing the packs to un

Dust settled on the ground, casting an eerie stillness over the room that had just moments before been the battleground of life and death. Leon, Amira, and Lucia stood in silence, their bodies trembling from exhaustion and the adrenaline that still coursed through their veins.Amira wiped the sweat from her brow, her chest rising and falling with rapid breaths. She exchanged a look with Leon, her eyes filled with a mixture of relief and concern. “We did it,” she murmured, though the edge of uncertainty in her voice was hard to miss. “But I don’t think this is over.”Leon nodded, his mind still processing the magnitude of what had just happened. Destroying the Heartstone was a major victory, but Marcus still stood—albeit severely weakened.

"What did you call me?" Logan asked, his voice thick with disbelief and surprise, he has been waiting all his life for someone to call him a dad.
"You're back?" Maya Dawson’s voice cut through the air, tense with shock and an unmistakable hint of anger.
Logan turned slowly, meeting the gaze of the woman he had spent five years dreaming of. "I never wanted to leave." His words came out as a plea, filled with emotion.
Maya shook her head, with a cold tone. "You didn't just leave, Logan. You disappeared."
Logan stepped closer, narrowing his eyes. "You think I abandoned you? It was your family, Maya. They forced me out. I fought my way back for you only to find you married to someone else."
Her voice wavered as she whispered, "You have no right to come back and disrupt my life now. Richard is my husband."
Logan's voice dropped to a low, intense whisper. "Is he my son?"
Maya’s silence told him everything.
Five years ago, Logan Hayes was forced out of Maya Dawson’s life, pressured by her powerful family into walking away from their marriage. Once a struggling dock worker and the illegitimate son of the Carlton family, Logan left without a word, leaving Maya heartbroken and convinced he had abandoned her.

His tea from the night before had gone cold, untouched, but he barely noticed.Maya appeared in the doorway, her hair loosely tied back and dressed in her usual casual clothes.

"Couldn't sleep much."Maya nodded as she poured her coffee, not pressing the matter. They stood in the same space, but it felt like they were miles apart.After a long pause, Logan finally broke the silence. "I've been thinking... about what you said yesterday.

The car was quiet, the only sound coming from the gentle hum of the engine and the occasional chirp of birds outside.Logan glanced at Maya from the corner of his eye. She seemed relaxed, her hands loosely gripping the steering wheel as she drove, her eyes focused on the road ahead. It had been a good day, a break from the tension they usually lived with, but the silence between them felt different now. Less strained.“You didn’t have to drive, you know,” Logan said softly, breaking the quiet. “I could’ve taken over.”Maya smiled faintly, keeping her eyes on the road. “It’s fine.
