Darkened Chapter 1 <<<The Attack>>>

Who would have thought such a beautiful day that felt so surreal could quickly turn into one filled with terror and so many horrendous memories? It was a warm night in Brexton, a small town located on the outskirts of New York City. The full moon could be seen in all its glory, peering from in between the trees. Keith stood by the waters looking over the horizon, the stars were shining so brightly and the full moon lit up the calm surface of the waters. Keith felt so peaceful watching the stars, a young boy in his teenage years.

He had just stormed out of the house after a hot argument with his mom. She insisted on him cutting his brown long curly hair but he just wouldn't listen and left the house after refusing to do as his mother had instructed.

As the night set in deeper, the full and bright moon remained hanging in the sky and the only audible sound was the chirping of crickets and the humming from Keith as he kept his eyes fixated on the starry sky. Suddenly, a scream rented the air. Keith looked around but saw nothing. He turned back to continue admiring the beautiful scenery but the screams came again, this time, louder and clearer. It was a woman's voice and immediately it was followed by the scream of a child and another. A loud howl came afterward that shook the entire town and sent shivers down their spines.

The night that started with the allure of a serene atmosphere quickly unraveled into a nightmarish ordeal for the town of Brexton. As Keith stood by the waters, the tranquility was shattered by otherworldly chaos that descended upon them.

A group of vicious werewolves had made their way to Brexton under the full moon, unbeknownst to the villagers. These once-human creatures were cursed to shift into terrifying beasts when the moon reached its full phase. Nothing like this had ever happened in town before, and the residents were entirely unprepared for what was about to happen.

The first frightening howls resonated through the night as the stars continued to shine overhead, and the residents of Brexton, unaware of the impending threat, were caught off guard by the terrifying sounds. Panic spread like wildfire as the chilling realization of the situation took hold. The piercing howls were followed by a series of snarls and growling, this got the whole town on high alert.

"What was that?!" exclaimed one horrified mother, clutching her baby close to her chest.

"I don't know, but we need to get out of here!" screamed a man as he rallied his family to accompany him.

The streets were now filled with terrified screams as the townspeople desperately tried to flee the wrath of the marauding werewolves. Houses were being pulled apart, and the lovely night had turned into a horror.

Keith, still reeling from his earlier argument with his mother, found himself caught in the heart of the mayhem. Noises of pain were heard all over. The town was under attack and Keith was shocked about how everything suddenly happened. While he was on his knees, witnessing the horrible sight of the killings, he heard what sounded like his mother calling out his name. It was at the moment it rang in Keith'shead that he actually has a home to run to, his family to save. As he tried to make his way back home, he came face to face with the monstrous creatures. His heart pounded in his chest as he witnessed their sheer ferocity. Keith's thoughts of defiance were replaced by a primal instinct for survival.

He ran for his life but the werewolves were relentless in their pursuit. With each step, Keith's fear escalated and he felt the hot breath of the beasts closing in on him. In a desperate bid to flee, he dashed down an alley, expecting to evade them in the maze of shadows, but fate had other plans for Keith. As he stumbled through the dimly lit alley, one of the werewolves pounced on him, plunging its sharp fangs deep into his shoulder. Keith screamed in agony as he fell to the ground. He hoped the creature would consume him, but he was left to perish on the floor, defenseless. Keith struggled to move. He became paralyzed and his arms were stiff and could hear the sound of the blood gushing out from his neck.

Meanwhile, the once vibrant town of Brexton was now engulfed in a nightmarish tableau of destruction. Houses were in rubble, and the streets were bloodstained. The werewolves had unleashed their wrath on the unwary residents, leaving a path of destruction in their wake. Keith's parents were not spared the tragedy amid the mayhem. Their lives were tragically cut short by the savage onslaught. After the town was wiped off every mortal being, the werewolves retreated into the woods. The departure of the werewolves did not bring relief to Keith.

As he lay on the ground, his body wracked with pain, he could feel an unsettling transformation taking place. The bite he had received had consequences far beyond his imagination. Sharp aches pierced his neck, and his entire body felt as if it were on fire. His bones seemed to crackle and shift as if attempting to realign themselves. Keith whimpered in anguish, unable to fathom the horror of what was happening to him. A sudden darkness hovered around him and he became unconscious.

Silence swept through the night that fateful day and just in a split second, the scene presented Keith opened his eyes, he found himself surrounded by a sorrowful forest. The moonlight streamed through the dense forest canopy, throwing strange shadows on the ground. As he fought to make sense of his surroundings, fear and uncertainty engulfed him. "Where am I?" his mind spoke softly as he stared at the moon above.

Attempting to sit up, Keith realized that something was vastly different about his body. His movements were unnatural and disjointed. When he tried to speak, all that escaped his mouth were guttural sounds, akin to an animal's growls. Panic washed over him as he brought his hands to his face, only to discover elongated claws where his fingernails once were.

"Aaarghhhhhh!" he screamed.

Hayley was betrayed by those who should have loved her most. To save their precious adopted daughter from a punishment she deserved, her own parents sent Hayley straight into a living hell—an infamous prison where survival demanded cruelty, and weakness meant death. Four years later, the girl who had entered those iron gates no longer existed. She emerged with a single, unbreakable rule carved into her soul: Every betrayal would be repaid tenfold. The day she walked free, the world trembled. A convoy of luxury cars lined the road. A legion of loyal followers awaited her triumphant return. Her father tried to buy her silence with money. But money had long lost its power over her. Her adopted sister hid behind sweet words and false kindness. But empty smiles no longer fooled her. Everything that had once been stolen would be reclaimed—piece by piece. When her parents attempted to tie themselves to the city's most feared man by offering their adopted daughter, Hayley's lips curved into a cold smirk. "Not on my watch." Backed by a legendary hacker, shadowy allies, and an entire prison willing to burn the world for her, Hayley dismantled her enemies with terrifying precision. Then the tyrant noticed her. "You're interesting," he said. "Be my woman, and the city is yours." Hayley raised an eyebrow, unimpressed. "You want to own me? Survive me first." High society became their battlefield.

The Billionaire's Secret Triplets: Mom's Revenge

The Billionaire's Secret Triplets: Mom's Revenge

HONEY MULLINS

Six years ago, I was a naive girl sold by my father to the powerful Sanders estate, only to be tossed onto the streets after a brutal assault they labeled "marital infidelity." I fled the country pregnant and broken, hiding from the shadow of a husband I had never even met. Now, I've returned to New York with my triplets to sign the final divorce papers and disappear forever. But Archibald Sanders-the man I was told was a crippled recluse-intercepted us with the cold precision of a predator. He didn't see the woman his family destroyed; he saw a gold-digger who had shamed his name. His security team hunted us to a grimy motel, using tactical force to snatch my children away and drag me to his glass-walled empire. In his office, he loomed over me, demanding a DNA test and threatening to throw me in prison while my babies were lost to the foster system. He was convinced I'd cheated, yet he stared at my sons with a haunting confusion, unable to ignore the stormy blue eyes that were a perfect mirror of his own. I stood there, paralyzed by his scent-the sharp tang of rain and expensive leather that triggered the icy dread of my worst nightmares. How could he accuse me of betrayal when he felt exactly like the monster who had shattered my life in that dark hotel room? "I'll sign anything," I sobbed, "just give me my kids." But the game changed when my five-year-old son hacked the tower's security, holding the skyscraper hostage to save me. In the chaos, a fragile, silent boy-Archibald's secret son-wandered into the room and reached for me as if I were his missing soul. Archibald's face turned to stone as he tore up the agreement and locked the doors. "Until I find out why my son is looking at you like that," he growled, "you aren't going anywhere."

The Silent Bride's Billion Dollar Contract

The Silent Bride's Billion Dollar Contract

Landslide

My bank account showed exactly $42.18, and my student loan notifications were flashing red. I lived in a sweltering Queens apartment with my Aunt Lydia, where the air was thick with the smell of stale frying oil and the constant threat of being homeless. Lydia handed me a grainy photo of a man twice my age and told me she had already "sold" me to him. He was a dry cleaner looking for a wife, and in exchange for my hand, he would pay off her credit cards and my debt. If I didn't show up for the date that night, my boxes would be on the curb by midnight. I arrived at the cafe in a state of panic, my selective mutism making it impossible to even breathe. In the crowded room, I accidentally sat at the wrong table. Instead of the man from the photo, I found myself facing Gerhard Holcomb—the cold, terrifyingly handsome billionaire whose family owned the very museum where I worked. He didn't send me away; instead, he studied my trembling hands and offered me a different deal: a two-year contract marriage, a two-million-dollar payout, and a strict clause forbidding any children. I signed the papers and moved into his Park Avenue penthouse, thinking I was finally safe. But when I went back to the old apartment to retrieve the only memento of my dead parents, Lydia lashed out, leaving me bleeding from a head wound. Gerhard’s retaliation was absolute—he had her arrested and her building foreclosed on within hours, claiming he was simply "protecting his assets." As I recovered in his silent, glass-walled home, I saw a call from a famous socialite flash on his phone, and a cold truth settled in my gut. I wasn't just a wife; I was a placeholder, a silent shield used to fend off the women from his past. I looked at the massive pink diamond on my finger and realized the silence I had lived in my whole life was about to become my most expensive prison. I had traded a life of poverty for a high-stakes game of shadows, and now I had to survive the man who claimed to own me.

He Thought I Was A Doormat, Until I Ruined Him

SHANA GRAY

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.
