THE VENGEFUL HEIR The Monster Within
A few seconds went by and then slowly, Jonah stood up, his gaze locked directly on Liam. He clenched his fist angrily, the veins on his arms popping out and then he growled. He took a step forward, muscles twitching as his blood red eyes remained locked onto Liam, and then he stomped the ground hard, causing it to tremble slightly. Liam clenched his jaw and held out a hand. His breath was steady, but within him, he didn’t want to keep fighting Jonah. He wasn’t afraid, but he wasn’t reckless either. “Jonah,” he called out, his voice firm but calm. “I know you’re in there. Stop this. I don’t wanna hurt you. I think I can help.” Liam said, lowering his arms as if trying to calm Jonah down.For a moment, Jonah hesitated, almost as if he could understood Liam. His body stiffened, his claws twitched, and those hollow red eyes flickered with something—something human.But then Peter’s voice slithered through the darkness like poison.“It’s no use, Liam.” His words dripped with satisfaction
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Can't Save Everybody
“You shouldn’t have done that.” Peter said in a low menacing voice. Upon hearing those words, Liam was slightly confused by what Peter meant. His heart hammered in his ears, but he didn’t dare take his eyes off Jonah, who was still writhing in the dim light.When he saw Jonah twitched, slowly pushing himself up, with blood still oozing from his chest, but nevertheless still not slowing him down. Liam’s eyes widened in disbelief. This was not supposed to be possible. That cut had gone deep enough and Jonah should not have survived that, even if he did, he shouldn’t have been moving.Bracing himself, Liam tightened his grip around the Zuri blade.“Did you really think it would be that easy?” Peter’s voice filtered into his ears again, each word more condescending than the last. “I’ve spent years building this, perfecting my creations. Did you really think you can just end it with a single swing?”The words hit Liam like a punch to the gut and his mind raced, every thought spinning out
THE VENGEFUL HEIR He’s Creating Monsters
Liam took a cautious step forward. Jonah was on the ground, breathing heavily, his body twitching as the last remnants of Peter’s virus coursed through him. But his red eyes, weren’t just burning with fury anymore. There was something else. A flicker of recognition. A glimpse of the man Jonah used to be.The Zuri blade pulsed in Liam’s grip, sending an eerie sensation up his arm. The glow of the blade intensified, and for the first time, Liam felt something shift, not just in the weapon, but in the air around him.Peter leaned forward, his smirk faltering as he watched with sharp, curious eyes. “Interesting…” he murmured.Liam ignored him. His attention was locked onto Jonah. Carefully, he crouched, his muscles tense but his voice steady.“Jonah… listen to me.” His voice was low, calm. “You don’t have to fight anymore. You don’t have to be what Peter made you.”Jonah’s body shuddered, his breaths weak. His fingers curled into the ground, clawing at the concrete like he was fighting ag
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Rescued
After saying those words, Jack was almost about to slump again, but this time Liam caught him before he hit the ground. His body was cold, his breathing shallow with blood smeared all over his torn shirt, and at a glance, it seemed almost as if he was lifeless.“Jack!” Liam shook him slightly, but Jack was already unconscious at this time.Liam clenched his jaw, his mind racing. He didn’t have time to process Jack’s words. He already knew Peter was a nightmare, but now he had just confirmed for himself that there was even something much worse waiting in the shadows.Without wasting another second, Liam picked him up regardless of the pain surging through his body. He carried Jack down the stairs, moving as fast his battered body would allow. By the time he reached the car, he wasted no time and immediately yanked open the passenger door and carefully eased Jack inside, making sure his head was supported.Liam slid into the driver’s seat, gripping the wheel so tightly his knuckles turn
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Make Him Pay
Liam nodded at Evelyn’s words, still trying to hold back his frustration and anger with everything that was happening. “Let me know when he’s awake,” he said quietly. “I have something to take care of.”Evelyn hesitated, her eyes studying him. She could see the weight of exhaustion pressing down on him, but she knew Liam wouldn’t stop, not now. With a quiet sigh, she reached out and patted his shoulder.“Liam… just be careful.”Liam didn’t respond. He turned and walked away, his boots heavy against the hospital floor. As soon as he stepped outside, the cold air hit his face, but it did little to ground him. His body was humming with tension, his mind clouded with everything that had happened in the last few hours—Jack’s battered body, the blood, the Zuri blade pulsing in his grip, and worst of all… Jonah.Jonah was dead, and there was nothing he could do to prevent him. Even till now Jonah’s death was still devastating. It reminded him that at the moment, there was not much he could d
THE VENGEFUL HEIR What If We Are Too Late?
Liam arrived shortly at the Stevens mansion. Following Jonah’s scare, he needed to know that no one that mattered to him or Mia was in danger, at least not until he had a way to cure whatever this monstrosity was. As he pulled over in the driveway, the air in the mansion was thick with unease. The weight of Mia’s absence pressed down on everyone like an invisible force. The grand hall fo the mansion which was usually a place opulence and control, now felt suffocating, filled with restless murmurs and anxious glances. No one knew what to do.Yona was pacing, arms crossed tightly over her chest, her frustration spilling over. “This is insane,” she snapped, shaking her head. “Mia’s been missing for hours, and we’re just sitting here doing nothing? We should be calling the police—”“She’s not missing. She’s with Liam.” Lord David’s voice was firm, cutting through the tension like a knife.Yona turned sharply to face him, her eyes blazing with defiance. “Yeah? Then why hasn’t anyone heard
THE VENGEFUL HEIR New Enemies
The room was thick with tension as Liam’s gaze swept over the Stevens family. Their expressions ranged from anger to uncertainty, but all eyes were on him, desperate, eager for a solution. He took a slow breath, steadying himself before speaking.“I know you don’t like this,” he said, his voice calm but firm. “I know you don’t trust me. But right now, I need all of you to do exactly that.”Yona scoffed, folding her arms tightly. “Trust you? After everything?”Liam didn’t react to the venom in her voice. He simply nodded. “Yes.” Liam replied sharply, shifting his gaze to her, “Because whether you believe me or not, I’m the only one keeping Mia safe.” His tone was final, leaving no room for argument.Lord David studied him, his sharp gaze searching for something beneath the words. The hesitation in his silence was different this time. This time, it wasn’t out of suspicion, but out of concern.He heaved a deep breath and then turned to Liam, speaking calmly. “Liam. A word.”Liam glanced
THE VENGEFUL HEIR We Have A Problem
Liam watched the men leave, his brows furrowing in anger, and then exhaled sharply as he stepped back inside, locking the door behind him. The silence of the house pressed against him, a stark contrast to the confrontation that had just taken place outside. The Tribunal had drawn their line in the sand. He had refused to back down, and now, he had made enemies of powerful people. There was no turning back.He ran a hand down his face, willing the tension in his body to ease, but it wouldn’t. His mind kept spinning, calculating the next move, searching for the inevitable plan to retaliate. He needed to be ready, but first he needed to know how Jack was doing.He pulled out his phone and dialed her number. He needed to know they were safe. If he was going to fight this war, the people he cared about couldn’t be collateral damage.The phone rang once. Twice and then went flat. Liam sighed and dialed it again, this time, his grip on the phone faltered as a familiar vibration surged throug

Saved... But at what Cost?
Liam gritted his teeth as he pressed his hands against Jack’s wound, willing his chi to flow into him. The energy pulsed, thick and burning, coursing through his veins like molten fire. He could feel it shifting, twisting within him, resisting just as much as it obeyed.The Ogini stirred in the depths of his chi, the ancient force lingered, waiting for a moment of weakness, any weakness he could latch on to and take control of Liam’s mind. Liam knew this was dangerous, he knew that giving too much of himself could weaken his hold over it. But Jack’s heartbeat was slowing, his breath coming in short, rattled gasps. If he didn’t finish this and soon, Jack would die.Liam forced more energy through his palms, feeling it push into Jack’s broken body, knitting flesh, mending organs, pulling him back from the brink of death. Sweat beaded at Liam’s forehead, showing the weight of the situation. His muscles ached, his vision blurred, and he could feel the pull of the Ogini growing stronger, s
Made The Choice For You
Liam’s fingers twitched at his sides, torn between his instincts and the weight of Jack’s words. The idea of having Jack by his side, healed and capable, was tempting. Since Jack got injured and then captured, he had to carry the burden and weight of their fight alone, never fully trusting that someone else could understand the fight the way he did. But Jack, he had had always been different. He understood things in a way few did.Liam exhaled slowly, his jaw tightening. Jack saw the hesitation flicker across Liam’s face and seized the moment. He reached out and grabbed Liam’s hand, gripping it tightly, his fingers pressing hard into Liam’s skin. His eyes, usually filled with mischief, were dark with frustration.“I know it’s dangerous, Liam,” Jack said, his voice low and urgent. “But so is fighting a legion of those monsters.” He paused, his chest rising and falling with each shallow breath. “You know you need me, Liam. You know I can take it.”Liam’s throat tightened. He wanted to s
The Birth of a Dark Creature
Liam hesitated, the weight of Jack’s words pressing down on him like a heavy chain. He knew what he had to do. He knew what was at stake. But the moment he turned, ready to leave, Jack’s voice stopped him again.“I’m not letting you do this alone, Liam.”Liam turned back. Jack had pulled himself up, inching toward him, his steps shaky but determined. His face was pale, his body weak, but his eyes burned with something fierce, something unyielding.Liam sighed tiredly, rubbing his fingers against his temple before giving Jack a once over. His friend was barely standing, yet he was ready to follow him into battle. It would have been admirable if it wasn’t so reckless.“I wish you could fight this one with me,” Liam admitted and then shifted his gaze directly to Jack. “But right now, you’re only a liability.”Jack feigned a smile, placing a hand over his heart in mock offense. “Ouch, that hurts, Liam. Really.”Liam shook his head, exhaling in frustration, but Jack’s smirk faded as he too
Morath Relic
Liam strode through the hospital hallways in a hurry, his boots echoing against the cold floor with purpose and dread. The fluorescent lights above flickered slightly, casting shadows that seemed to shift with every step he took. His heart pounded as he made his way to Jack’s room, but it wasn’t just from urgency, it was also from the lingering weight of his last conversation with Jack. He was awake. He was alive. But the fear in his voice had been unmistakable.As soon as he reached the door to Jack’s room, he pushed it open without hesitation, scanning his eyes around, for any signs of danger.Jack was sitting on the edge of the hospital bed, his face pale, his hands gripping the sheets like he was trying to hold onto reality itself. His breathing was ragged, uneven. And then, Liam saw his eyes, wide, unfocused, filled with something he rarely saw in Jack. It was clear that having had a brush with dead, Jack was reflecting on certain conditions and moments of his life.Upon seeing t
Sides Are Drawn
Liam took a deep breath after he ended the call, his pulse still hammering in his ears. His grip on the Zuri blade had tightened for a moment before he forced himself to loosen it. He needed to focus. The rage was still there, simmering beneath the surface, like it was begging to be let loose, but now it had direction, purpose.He closed his eyes, inhaled deeply through his nose, and then exhaled slowly through his mouth as if trying to balance his mind. The old teachings of his master surfaced in his mind, pulling him back to a time before all of this—before the Ogini, before the betrayals, before the bloodshed.“If you do not control the power, it will control you.” His master once told him.Liam swallowed hard as he recalled those words. At the time, he didn’t see why his master had said those words. But right now, he knew that if he was going to survive this war, if he was going to end the Tribunal once and for all, he couldn’t afford to lose himself to the Ogini’s influence. It
Choosing Sides
The silence that followed after Liam snapped Jasper’s neck was deafening. The weight of Jasper’s lifeless body in his grip still felt surreal, as if his mind refused to register what had just happened. He had just taken a life and even when he wanted to blame it on the Ogini’s influence, he couldn’t. He was the one that held on to Jasper’s throat. Even now, his fingers, still wrapped around Jasper’s throat, trembled slightly before they finally loosened, letting the body slump lifelessly to the ground.Liam stared down at him, his breath uneven. A dull ringing filled his ears. His chest rose and fell in panicked, broken breaths. What had he done? He had killed before, but it was always in self defense, but now he had just taken someone’s life in cold blood. Was Evelyn right? Was he already losing control of himself and turning into something else?For a moment, he was numb. The world around him blurred at the edges, his mind struggling to process the reality before him. Jasper was dea
The Vessel
Liam evaded Jasper’s swift attack, creating some distance between them. He leveled his gaze at Jasper, rolling his shoulders as the throbbing pain in his jaw faded away, replaced by a slow wry smile.“Still want to keep fighting?” he asked, his voice steady despite the storm raging inside him.Jasper smirked, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. He didn’t look winded. If anything, he looked like he was enjoying himself.“I’m not the one losing,” Jasper said smoothly, eyes gleaming in the dim light. “I’ve been waiting for this fight for a long time, Liam. And you—” He exhaled, shaking his head slightly. “You’re making a mistake.”Liam’s fingers flexed around the hilt of the Zuri blade. His breath came slow and measured.“No,” he said. “The mistake was thinking you could take this from me.”The words felt final, and in that moment, something inside him shifted. The pull of the Zuri blade was stronger now, no longer a whisper but a steady, insistent force curling around his min
Jasper
Liam’s grip on the Zuri blade tightened as he willed himself to breathe and steady the fear curling around his ribs like a vice. But it was there, gnawing at the edges of his mind, whispering truths he didn’t want to face.What if you lose yourself? What if you become the very thing that wrecks this world?He swallowed hard. The thought lingered like a shadow. But deep down, he already knew—he wasn’t afraid of the Tribunal. He wasn’t even afraid of dying. He was afraid of what the blade could turn him into.Liam clenched his jaw, inhaling sharply. His fingers flexed against the hilt, and for a fleeting moment, he swore he felt something stir within the metal, almost like a second heartbeat.“It’s okay, Liam,” he muttered under his breath. “You’ve got this.”But even as the words left his lips, he wasn’t sure he believed them. He lifted his gaze, locking onto Jasper. The Tribunal’s forces remained in formation behind him, weapons raised, tension thick in the air. The night seemed to ho
A conversation with the Ogini
Evelyn’s voice crackled through the phone, filled with uncertainty. “Liam…what kind of problem?”But Liam didn’t answer. Instead, he exhaled slowly, his fingers tightening around the Zuri blade. It no longer felt like cold metal in his hand. Instead, it pulsed, almost like it was coming alive, aware, waiting. And in that moment, something inside him knew: the Ogini hadn’t just spoken to him. It had touched him.“I think,” Liam said, his voice quiet but firm, “I think I just had a conversation with the Ogini.”As soon as those words fell, there was a long moment of silence. Then, Evelyn’s voice, careful and measured, sounded on the other end of the phone. “What do you mean… conversation?”Liam opened his mouth to answer, but before he could, a loud explosion sounded through the night, shaking the walls. The force sent a jolt through Liam’s chest, and immediately his instincts screamed danger.Liam spun toward the direction of the blast, heart pounding. The air outside was thick with sm
