Crimson Legacy Chapter 1:
The roar of engines ripped through the quiet night. Sarah, jolted from sleep, rushed to the window. A cold certainty settled over her as she saw the black vehicles swarming the estate, disgorging masked men. Damien. It had to be because of Damien and his reckless dealings in the underground dealers. This wasn't the first time his shady business had attracted unwanted attention, and it certainly wouldn't be the last.He stood beside her, his usual arrogance replaced by a grim tension that he was clearly trying to hide. "They found me," he muttered, his eyes fixed on the scene below."You mean, they found us," Sarah corrected, her voice laced with a bitter edge. "Again."He didn't reply, but the flicker of guilt in his eyes was confirmation enough. As she followed his gaze, she saw a solitary figure standing at the gate, bathed in the dim moonlight. He looked almost ethereal with his silver hair and piercing scarlet eyes. "Why does Palmer always have to clean up after your mess?
Crimson Legacy Chapter 2:
The morning after the attack dawned with an eerie silence. The once pristine courtyard was now a macabre canvas of crimson stains and scattered weaponry. The air, thick with the metallic scent of blood, hung heavy over the estate. "Just who did you mess with this time to make someone send veteran mercenaries to haunt you?" Sarah asked Damien, her voice mixed with curiosity, "Your dealings with those people are getting out of hand and it's painting our family name in red," Damien sat on the plush leather couch, legs crossed, an almost bored expression on his face. His dark hair fell messily over his forehead, but his striking blue eyes gleamed with defiance. He picked at a loose thread on his shirt, refusing to meet Sarah's fiery gaze."Look at me when I’m talking to you!" she snapped, slamming her hand on the table. "Are you trying to ruin the legacy our ancestors have spent years building with your reckless business by mingling with societal pests? We have businesses, properties,

Damien, with his characteristic swagger, strode into the room, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Palmer," he announced, "we're going on a little trip."Sarah's head snapped up, alarm bells ringing in her ears. "A trip? Where?"Damien smirked, enjoying her apprehension. " Relax darling. Don't worry, just going to have some fun.""Fun?" Sarah scoffed. "The last time you had 'fun', the yard was bathed in the blood of people you had pissed off."Damien rolled his eyes. "Oh, come on, Sarah, don't be such a stick in the mud. A little adventure never hurts anyone.""Adventure?" Sarah's voice rose. "Damien, your idea of adventure usually involves illegal auctions, shady deals, and life-threatening situations!""I'll go with him, Sarah."Sarah's gaze snapped towards him, her eyes wide with concern. "Palmer, no. You don't have to put up with—""I'm worried for his safety," Palmer insisted, his voice gentle but firm. "And perhaps," he added, a subtle glint in his scarlet eyes, "it's an opportuni

Damien’s heart pounded in his chest. "What the hell? Werewolves?"Palmer didn’t answer. He was already out of the car, eyes glowing bright red as he scouted the area for presence for more troops.Meanwhile, back at the estate... Alarms blared back at the estate. Sarah's heart leapt into her throat as she saw shadowy figures moving across the manicured lawn. Her body came still, unable to move due to fear as she witnessed silhouettes, defying gravity as they flickered across the walls and ceiling with nimble movementsA cold hand clamped over Sarah's mouth, silencing her startled gasp. A chill ran down her spine as she felt the sharp edge of something pressed against her throat. "The floor would be dyed in your blood before you could let out a scream," the figure hissed, its voice a chilling whisper. Sarah's heart pounded in her chest as she struggled against the unseen assailant. "You fool!" Valen's voice echoed through the ballroom, laced with a chilling calm that belied the fury i
Crimson Legacy Chapter 5:
Meanwhile, Palmer and Damien faced their own peril. The werewolves snarled and circled, their hot breath clouding the cold air. Palmer, despite his outward calm, felt a creeping disorientation. A strange, cloying scent filled his nostrils, making his head spin and his senses swim. He fought to maintain focus, his vision blurring, his usually sharp reflexes sluggish.Damien, his face pale with fear, watched from the car as one of the werewolves stepped forward, a wickedly curved blade glinting in its hand. "Look out!" he screamed, his voice cracking with panic.Instinct took over. With a burst of adrenaline, Palmer whirled around, seizing the werewolf by its thick fur. He slammed the creature against the floor, a guttural snarl ripping from his throat. The other werewolves hesitated, momentarily stunned by Palmer's sudden ferocity.But as Palmer held the struggling werewolf aloft, he noticed a strange sensation. His hand, where it gripped the creature's fur, felt… hot. He glanced

Valen lay sprawled on the ballroom floor, blood pooling around him. The siren, its victory short-lived, seized Sarah by the neck, its grip tightening like a vise."I sense the presence of the relic in this building. They both have awakened." it hissed, its voice laced with triumph, "but it's too faint for me to pinpoint its exact location." Its glowing eyes bored into Sarah's. "Your face says you know nothing about it, but you'll do well to show us around the estate. Its whereabouts could save your life.""I don't know what you're talking about..." Sarah gasped, struggling to breathe."I just said that," the siren sneered. "Just take us where your brother carries out his activities. I should be able to find it easily.""My brother is secretive, I don't know where he—"Before Sarah could finish her sentence, the siren slammed her against the wall with bone-jarring force. A crater formed around her, and she crumpled to the floor, blood trickling from her lips."Think twice before answer
Crimson Legacy Chapter 7:
The werewolves lay scattered across the ground, their unconscious forms lit by the eerie red glow of the sky. Palmer, his scarlet eyes still blazing with power, surveyed the scene, a thoughtful expression on his face. "The person who sent them is quite thorough," Palmer mused, a thoughtful frown creasing his brow. He knelt beside one of the unconscious werewolves, his keen senses analyzing the subtle traces of magic clinging to its fur. "A silencing spell, woven with potent dark magic. They all passed out after I asked them some questions." He stood, his gaze sweeping over the fallen pack. "No loose ends. Interesting." A flicker of concern crossed his features. "But that's not all..." He paused, his gaze shifting to Damien, a smirk playing on his lips. "Pfft, some 'monster' you turned out to be. You pretty much exhausted what fear is left in you," he chuckled.Damien, his cheeks flushing with embarrassment, mumbled, "Argh, don't laugh!" He looked down at his trembling hands, his voic
Crimson Legacy Chapter 8:
The moonlight shown brightly at dimly lit cathedral, casting a great shadow of the church on the marble floor. Its stained glass windows casting multicolored shadows across the stone floor. A man, his face etched with age and cunning, spoke in a low, conspiratorial tone."The sirens were so carefree," he chuckled, a malicious glint in his eyes. "They didn't even notice you had infiltrated their ranks." He wore a triumphant smirk. "Now that we have both taken the shapes of people from both families, our plan proceeds without a flaw. We now have access to two of the orbs!" the man hissed, his voice a guttural growl that echoed in the mind of his counterpart lurking in the shadows of the Montgomery estate. From beneath a pile of fallen rubble, the other skinwalker emerged, its form still shifting and reforming as it absorbed the last vestiges of one of the bodyguard it had consumed. A wave of triumphant satisfaction resonated through their shared consciousness. "Hahahaha... It's time

"Last born, find a way to free Elijah. Kael, Ivy, Kole, buy me some time… That horn is a problem. I’ll have to break it," Valen commanded, his voice sharp with urgency."Don't order me around. I'm only assisting," Lilith retorted, her tone laced with defiance. "After this, it'll be your turn.""That's for later. Right now, you can't afford to hold back that power. Look who we're up against."Lilith huffed, a hint of rudeness in her expression, as if she expected him to have already noticed. ThenWith a sudden focus, her long hair shimmered, transforming into pure silver. A surge of immense power erupted from her, and a third eye opened on her forehead, intricate patterns radiating across her skin from its center.Kael, Kole, and Ivy gasped, finally understanding the true extent of her abilities. She had been holding back, toying with them."That's more like it," Valen acknowledged, a grim satisfaction in his voice.Together, they lunged towards Palmer, who still held the struggling E

Sarah’s breath caught in her throat as she stared at Valen worry laced her gaze, “How are you still alive? I watched you die…”"We have Palmer to thank for that," he said, his voice softer than usual. "I felt my soul being dragged back into my body." Valen slowly lowered her to her feet. Sarah swallowed, her hands trembling as she turned her gaze toward Palmer.“What’s happening to him?” she whispered, fear gripping her. “I’ve never seen him like this before…”Valen exhaled, glancing at her before his gaze locked back onto Palmer. “Palmer has never truly relied on anyone before. He doesn’t know how to express it, but he’s in constant pain… like something is growing inside him at a rapid rate, threatening to burst out at any moment.”Sarah’s lips parted, but Valen continued.“But when he feels needed… when he feels like he belongs, he’s able to suppress that thing inside him.” Valen voice dropped. “But when the thing that keeps him tethered—the thing that makes him feel human—is taken

Valen's breath slowed.Palmer felt like he lost an emotion with every heartbeat.Flashes of their past flooded his mind—him and Valen grinning as they fought together. Their first meeting, their promise to protect what mattered. It all played in his head like a cruel, inescapable illusion. And beneath it all, he could hear it—Valen’s heartbeat, once steady, now fading.Palmer lay motionless.Sarah’s cry shattered the silence, raw and broken, her body trembling as tears streamed down her face.Kael, Ivy, and Kole stood frozen. They didn’t even register the presence of death breathing down their necks.Lilith’s amused voice cut through the heavy air. “Ah, ah… He actually did it.” She pouted playfully. She cocked her head, lips curling in amusement as she glanced at the trio. “But still… you guys have guts. Turning your backs to me like that.”They didn’t answer. They didn’t even acknowledge her.Their gazes were locked on Valen.Palmer turned back toward him too, his fingers twitching a
Chapter 34:
The battle at the Montgomery estate raged with an intensity that shook the heavens.Valen blurred forward, his speed defying the eye, but Elijah was faster. With a mocking grin, he snatched Valen’s face mid-air, gripping him like an insect, and slammed him into the ground with terrifying force."So confident in your speed. To me, you look like a bug trying to escape death," Elijah smirked, his fingers pressing deeper, crushing Valen’s skull into the concrete floor.Out of nowhere, Palmer struck. His leg connected with Elijah’s jaw in a devastating kick—one that could have shattered mountains. Yet, the impact only left a faint cut on Elijah’s cheek, a wound that healed before Palmer even landed."Tsk… so hard," Palmer clicked his tongue in frustration.Elijah wiped his cheek, inspecting the brief injury before flashing a sharp grin. "Stand proud, brother. At least you managed to leave a cut."With effortless strength, Elijah flung Valen at Palmer. They crashed through the estate’s foun
Chapter 33:
The voices of people could be heard cheering in a building that seemed to exist outside the world's gaze. The interior was vast, with a capacity for over a thousand people, its tiers rising high above the main floor. Every seat, from the topmost balcony to the ground level, offered a clear view of the spectacle below. It was an auction house, but not the kind that dealt in ordinary treasures. Here, notorious billionaires from across the globe gathered to bid on slaves and artifacts that defied the laws of nature.Seated in a private box on the upper floor was the owner of the auction, Leonardo Jordan. The man who had sent mercenaries after Damien after the young Montgomery raided his auction. A smug smile played on his lips as he watched the bids climb higher and higher. The artifacts on display—ethereal relics that seemed to hum with latent power—were fetching prices that would make even the wealthiest tycoons balk."My bank account is getting heavier yet again tonight," Jordan said
Chapter 32
The estate was a battlefield, its once-pristine grounds now a chaotic mess of shattered stone and swirling dust. It was easy to tell that no ordinary beasts were clashing here—this was a war between titans.Lilith let out a low whistle, her dark red eyes gleaming with amusement as she watched Valen’s display of power. “Isn’t he on par with a Noble at this point? That monster… he just keeps getting hotter,” she smirked, her voice dripping with playful admiration. “Too bad it’s Elijah he’s going against. I hope he doesn’t die—I’d love to get to know him better.”The air grew heavy, the pressure in the estate intensifying to an almost unbearable level. The source? Elijah. He emerged from the rubble, his broken hands healing with eerie speed, the bones snapping back into place with audible cracks.“Just today,I’ve been sent flying twice.” Elijah said, brushing his hair back with both hands, his voice calm but laced with menace, “ Just today, I’ve had my hands broken.” He cracked his nec
Chapter 31:
Elijah stood over Palmer’s broken form, his crimson eyes cold and unyielding. “You’re soft, Elias,” he sneered, tossing his brother’s body to the ground like a discarded puppet. “I’ve spent centuries undergoing strict training with the devil herself, surpassing every weakness, every limit, just for this moment. All while you’ve been playing house with your bonds and puppets.”Palmer coughed, blood spilling from his lips as he struggled to speak. “...oth of y..you...” His voice was barely a whisper, but Elijah crouched down to listen, his expression unreadable.“What?” Elijah asked, his tone sharp.“I waited... for the bo..th of you...” Palmer rasped, his eyes filled with a mixture of pain and regret.Elijah’s jaw tightened, his scar pulsing with a faint crimson glow. “But the first thing you did after seeing me was to try to stake me. You broke our promise and created a pact with the very species that sought to annihilate us.”“But... Old man said to protect humans,” Palmer managed, h

Elizabeth’s voice was calm but urgent as she ushered Sarah and Damien toward the door. “Palmer will probably need your help with whatever is happening at the estate. You both should go to him.”Sarah hesitated, her brow furrowed with worry. “But what about you? It’s not safe here. Can’t you come with us?”Elizabeth shook her head, her smile gentle but firm. “It’s fine. Those creatures won’t be coming anytime soon.” She gave them a gentle push toward the door, her tone leaving no room for argument. “Go. Hurry.”Sarah glanced back, her expression torn. “Don’t do anything rash… We’ll be right back,” she said, her voice tinged with unease.Elizabeth chuckled softly, her eyes glimmering with nostalgia. “Oh my, you remind me so much of Suzanne. Now, hurry along. I’ll be fine.” She waved them off, her figure growing smaller in the rearview mirror as the car sped away.Back at the Montgomery estate, chaos reigned.Lilith rose to her feet with languid grace, the stake impaled in her chest seem
Chapter 29:
Valen’s breath came in ragged gasps, his vision blurring as his consciousness slipped away. His body was a mess of blood and fatal injuries that refused to heal, his regenerative abilities overwhelmed by the sheer force of Elijah’s attacks. He knelt on the ground, head bowed, struggling to hold on.Elijah crouched down to Valen’s eye level, his crimson eyes gleaming with a mix of amusement and disdain. “I can hear the cells in your body desperately trying to regenerate.” he said, his voice smooth and cold. "I told you I’d wipe that cocky expression off your face.”Valen didn’t respond, his strength fading with every passing second.Elijah tilted his head, studying Valen like a predator sizing up its prey. “For a puppet, you did well. It’s a waste to leave you here to rot, protecting those whose end is inevitable.” He extended a hand, his tone almost conversational. “Why not join us? Reforge your allegiance, submit to us completely, and put your abilities to better use.”Lilith, standi
