In the heart of the enigmatic town of Ravenwood, where secrets and mysteries have a way of lingering like shadows in the night, the Midnight Detectives emerge as unsung heroes. "Ebon Heart: Chronicles of the Midnight Detectives" is a thrilling tale of adventure, mystery, and the enduring power of selflessness. In the first installment, "The Enigma of the Midnight Mansion," readers are introduced to a retired detective, Sarah Mitchell, who is drawn back into the world of enigmas by a cryptic invitation to the ominous Midnight Mansion. Alongside a diverse group of time-traveling individuals, the Midnight Detectives must solve a centuries-old riddle, battle betrayal, and uncover the truth behind a cursed gemstone known as the Ebon Heart. As the mansion's secrets unravel, so do the layers of the Midnight Detectives themselves, revealing the true nature of their strength. In the subsequent volumes, "The Legacy of the Ebon Heart" and "The Return of the Shadows," the Midnight Detectives face even greater challenges. They must contend with the resurrection of the Ebon Heart's curse, a clandestine organization known as the Shadows of Ambition, and cosmic forces that threaten the very balance of the universe. With each encounter, they draw closer to the heart of the enigma, discovering the true purpose of the Ebon Heart and their own role as its guardians. "Ebon Heart: Chronicles of the Midnight Detectives" is a story of enduring friendship, the pursuit of wisdom, and the unwavering commitment to the greater good. It is a journey through time and space, where the choices made by the characters have far-reaching consequences, and where the mysteries they unravel are as intricate as the human spirit itself. Join the Midnight Detectives as they confront the unknown, battle against the darkness, and strive to maintain the cosmic equilibrium in a world filled with enigmas. In the end, the eternal question remains: will they unlock the ultimate secret of the Ebon Heart and forever safeguard the balance between light and darkness?

Chapter 1 A Cryptic Invitation

The moon hung low in the ink-black sky, casting eerie shadows on the deserted streets of Ravenwood. Nestled deep within a dense forest, the town had always been a place of intrigue and secrets. On this particular night, a thick mist rolled in, shrouding the landscape in an ethereal haze. But this wasn't the only unusual occurrence. In the mailbox of 13 Elm Street, a solitary envelope appeared, as if by magic.

Sarah Mitchell, a talented but reclusive detective, had been living in Ravenwood for years. She was known for her uncanny ability to solve even the most baffling cases. But she had retired from her detective work, or so everyone believed. Sarah had grown tired of the constant challenges and danger, seeking solace in the quiet life of Elm Street. She had thought she was done with mysteries.

As she retrieved the enigmatic envelope from her mailbox, her curiosity was piqued. It was an ornate, old-fashioned invitation sealed with a crimson wax stamp that bore a symbol she couldn't quite recognize. She knew it was risky, but something about the invitation beckoned her back to the world of mysteries.

Sarah traced her fingers over the embossed crest on the envelope and decided to attend the gathering mentioned within, which was scheduled for midnight at the enigmatic Midnight Mansion nestled deep in the Ravenwood forest. Dressed in her signature trench coat and fedora, she ventured out into the misty night.

Dr. Amelia Hartley was not your typical scientist. While her colleagues at the Quantum Research Institute toiled away on mundane experiments, she dared to dream of the impossible. For years, she had been obsessed with the idea of time travel, and she was convinced that she could make it a reality. Late one night, in the depths of her cluttered laboratory, Amelia had a breakthrough. She discovered a way to manipulate wormholes, creating a stable portal through time. Her heart raced with excitement as she realized that her dream was within reach. The world, however, was not prepared for her invention. Amelia kept her discovery a secret, working tirelessly to perfect her time machine. After months of relentless experimentation, she finally felt confident enough to test it. She set the date for her first journey: October 7th, 1874. Her calculations told her that she would arrive in London, a place she had always been fascinated with. Stepping into the shimmering portal, Amelia felt a rush of energy as she was whisked away through time. When she emerged on the other side, she found herself in a dimly lit alley in 19th-century London. The cobblestone streets, horse-drawn carriages, and gas-lit lanterns were like something out of a historical novel. Amelia marveled at her surroundings but quickly realized that she had no way to return to her own time. Panic set in as she contemplated the enormity of her predicament. She was stranded in the past, with no way to communicate with the present. As the days turned into weeks, Amelia adapted to her new life. She found work as an assistant to a local apothecary and marveled at the simplicity of the era. Yet, despite the novelty of her surroundings, she couldn't shake the feeling of isolation. She was alone in a world where she didn't belong. One evening, as Amelia strolled through the bustling streets of London, she heard the distant strains of a piano. Following the music, she found herself outside a small, dimly lit tavern. Curiosity got the better of her, and she entered the establishment. Inside, she was captivated by the sight of a young man playing the piano with remarkable skill. His name was William, a struggling musician who had dreams of composing symphonies that would one day be celebrated across the ages. Their eyes met, and an instant connection formed between them. Over the next few months, Amelia and William spent more and more time together. She introduced him to ideas and concepts from the future, expanding his horizons, while he shared the beauty of the past with her. They fell deeply in love, their hearts transcending the boundaries of time. But as their love blossomed, the complications of their situation became increasingly apparent. Amelia knew that she couldn't stay in the 19th century forever, and William could never accompany her to her own time. The thought of leaving him tore her apart. One fateful evening, as they stood on a bridge overlooking the River Thames, Amelia finally confessed the truth about her time-traveling origins. Tears welled up in William's eyes as he struggled to comprehend the enormity of her revelation. The love they shared was genuine, but it was also bound by the constraints of time. With heavy hearts, they made the painful decision to part ways. Amelia returned to her own time, leaving behind the love of her life. It was a bittersweet farewell, filled with promises to cherish the memories they had created together. Back in the present, Amelia couldn't forget the love she had found in the past. She dedicated the rest of her life to perfecting her time machine, hoping to one day reunite with William, even if only for a moment. She knew that their love was timeless, and she would do whatever it took to bridge the gap between their eras once again. And so, the scientist who had dared to dream of the impossible continued her quest to conquer time itself, driven by a love that transcended the boundaries of history and a hope that one day, their paths would cross once more.

He has all the traits that you wished for your dream man to have. Power, money, perfection, handsomeness and a body like a Greek God. But he's inlove. He's inlove with her. For him, she was the completion of his dream, a perfect wife and a mother to be with his children. He would give her everything including his own life. He would sacrifice his world for her. But she left him. She betrayed him. She broke his heart into pieces. And he turned into a cold, heartless, rude and an arrogant billionaire, who would do everything to show her that she's no longer important into his life. Even though the truth is the opposite of what he is doing. His heart still aching for her. And that's when he met me. I applied as his Personal Assistant to fulfill my bucket list of dreams. To explore my life and experience everything. He offered me a deal. He asked me to marry him just to show his ex that he already moved on. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * "She's pregnant." He blurted out and i almost stumbled on where i am standing. I just gripped the backrest of the couch to support my weight. The pain creeping in my heart is unbearable but i managed to stay calm. "Wow! Congratulations!" I said faking my excitement as i remembered him saying... -cheating would not be the reason to break our marriage- of course i couldn't accuse him of this as 'cheating' because she was the real reason why we are pretending as a couple. He still love her. He's still inlove with her. And that's when i made the biggest decision in my life. Taking all my strength and a piece of my heart that still hanging on a thin rope... I left him. Taking also my biggest secret in me... that i've already fallen inlove with him. And somehow i learned a lesson; 'Loving someone who doesn't love you back isn't as hard as loving someone who still inlove with his ex and who only uses you to get her back again into his life..'

I received a pornographic video. "Do you like this?" The man speaking in the video is my husband, Mark, whom I haven't seen for several months. He is naked, his shirt and pants scattered on the ground, thrusting forcefully on a woman whose face I can't see, her plump and round breasts bouncing vigorously. I can clearly hear the slapping sounds in the video, mixed with lustful moans and grunts. "Yes, yes, fuck me hard, baby," the woman screams ecstatically in response. "You naughty girl!" Mark stands up and flips her over, slapping her buttocks as he speaks. "Stick your ass up!" The woman giggles, turns around, sways her buttocks, and kneels on the bed. I feel like someone has poured a bucket of ice water on my head. It's bad enough that my husband is having an affair, but what's worse is that the other woman is my own sister, Bella. ************************************************************************************************************************ “I want to get a divorce, Mark,” I repeated myself in case he didn't hear me the first time—even though I knew he'd heard me clearly. He stared at me with a frown before answering coldly, "It's not up to you! I'm very busy, don't waste my time with such boring topics, or try to attract my attention!" The last thing I was going to do was argue or bicker with him. "I will have the lawyer send you the divorce agreement," was all I said, as calmly as I could muster. He didn't even say another word after that and just went through the door he'd been standing in front of, slamming it harshly behind him. My eyes lingered on the knob of the door a bit absentmindedly before I pulled the wedding ring off my finger and placed it on the table. I grabbed my suitcase, which I'd already had my things packed in and headed out of the house.

To her dismay, she is being bonded for the sixth time. What’s worse is that her sixth-chance mate is the most powerful creature ruling over all werewolves and Lycans - the Lycan King himself. She is certain, dead certain, that a rejection would come sooner or later, though she hopes for it to be sooner. King Alexandar was ecstatic to meet his bonded mate, and couldn’t thank their Goddess enough for gifting him someone so perfect.

But when not-so-subtle crushes, jealous suitors, self-entitled Queen-wannabes, an old flame, a silent protector and a past wedding engagement threaten to jeopardize their relationship, will Lucianne and Xandar still choose to be together? Is their love strong enough to overcome everything and everyone? Or will Lucianne resort to enduring a sixth rejection from the one person she thought she could entrust her heart with?
