“what? She killed her own son?” Whispers like those filled the air, everywhere she walked. “Gosh, what a monster!” All sound suddenly stopped the moment she went into the church, getting on her knees, and closing both hands that shook out of fear, starvation and a bit of something else together. “father… please forgive me.” Her eyes closed, and she pressed her head onto the ground. The wonderful statue that stood Almighty above her shined always. “I beg for your forgiveness dear father.” She said again but this time in a Shaky voice, tears nearly now rolling out her eyes. The door opened and a tall handsome man walked in. That man was her husband, and he looked at her with disgust. “Dakota…” she turned while still being on her knees, her hand reaching for his legs, but then, he moved back. Avoiding her completely. “now you come here for forgiveness?” he nearly scoffed Her eyes widened. Her husband too? She chuckled, tears pricking the side of her eyes. Her beautiful blond hair had became messy, and her complexion turned pale, her finger nails looked like they needed serious manicure. “it… it wasn’t my fault… it wasn’t.” She sobbed, but instead of him comforting her, he only turned his back. She looked up and the door slammed hard, silence staying still with her. “Dakota?” in a weak pleading voice, she called, and after no response, clenched her fists. Why did she have to get punished for what wasn’t even her fault? She sobbed once again, this time, uncontrollably. Her eyes now swelling with tears, and her hands trying to brush them away. It kept on coming. “what have I done for everyone to point hatred to me? Huh?!…”veronica looked down at the knife they usually used for slicing the bread, it seemed they had forgotten it this time. she took the knife, hesitant at first, but after getting deeper into realization that no one was coming to stop her, pressed it against her neck. “everyone has turned their backs on me when I needed them… so,” a smile tainted her lips. “I atone for all, my sins.” Splash!

In the time before the world knew evil, the Celestial Realm stood in perfect harmony. The angels, radiant beings of light and purity, upheld the will of the Creator. Among them, one angel stood above all others in might and grace Luciel and Anna, the High Angels of Judgment. His sword Luxis forged in the light of the First Star, was a weapon of unparalleled power. It was said that its blade could cut through any darkness, purging the evil that dared to taint the universe. Luciel was revered by his brothers and sisters, his sword the embodiment of righteousness. However, the seeds of pride had begun to sprout within Luciel's heart. He questioned the Creator's will, doubting the balance between light and free will in creation. He believed that the only way to maintain order was through absolute control, and he alone was strong enough to wield such authority. In secret, Luciel began to pour his own will into Luxis bending it to serve his newfound vision of order. The more he fed his pride into the blade, the more it resonated with his growing darkness. The once-pure light of the sword dimmed, its silver gleam tarnishing as the celestial energies were twisted. As Luciel's transformation into Satan the Adversary drew closer, the sword Luxis became a vessel of his rebellion. During the Great Fall, when Luciel and his followers were cast out of Heaven including Anna, Luxis fell with them. It plummeted through the heavens, crashing into the earth below. Now corrupted, its once holy edge darkened and its name forgotten, the sword became known as (Devil's Edge). It lay buried for eons, hidden beneath the earth, a relic of a forgotten war between light and darkness.

I really must have looked bad for Michelle to be this concerned. “I can drive you home and my dad can follow us....” Michelle rambled on, but I could hardly hear what she was saying. The buzzing in my ears was now a roar, like a freight train running back and forth through my head from ear to ear. “I have to go, Michelle,” I said, pulling away from the curb, barely giving her time to close the door as I sped off. But I didn’t make it home. I made it as far as Granby Lake when the shaking was so uncontrollable that I had to pull over. I threw the car into park and the keys under the mat in the driver’s seat. My body was shaking and quivering as pain coursed throughout my body. I screamed, almost a howl, as I ran for the woods. I didn’t know why, but I had the sudden urge to run, to let the coolness of the evening air soothe my skin... to be free. My body shook uncontrollably as I ran faster than I had ever run before into the forest. The quivering ran from my hands and traveled throughout my body as I ran even faster, pushing harder, losing control of my body. What was happening to me? I screamed as I looked down to see my hands shimmering, changing into giant silver paws, but my screams ended in a howl as the quivering traveled down the length of my body, morphing and changing every cell. By instinct, I leapt into the air and my clothes shredded into pieces. I landed on four paws, running even faster. To where? I didn’t know. Was I going crazy? I looked around and nothing looked familiar. Where was I? “This can’t be happening to me!” I thought, sprinting through the forest into the Colorado Rockies, as variations of pine and aspen rushed pasted. If I were in my human form, I would have been crying. As it was, dampness seeped from my eyes, soaking the fur underneath. I was almost to Wyoming when I heard voices inside my mind. I am going crazy! I thought to myself, as my powerful claws dug into the lichen along the forest floor, propelling my body even faster. To where? I didn't know. *** *AUTHOR NOTE: Please also check out my other books now available on Webnovel!

                                                              The Plot (The Perks in Ceding                   Delorea)  Delorea Rafeal, a young woman freshly out of the Defense Academy; working for the Italian Secret Agent was betrothed to Alessandro Epifany DeAngelo, son of a wealthy Sicilian Drug lord also known as Don Rocco in an arranged marriage since their childhood. Unbeknownst to Alessandro, his fiancee has been on the payroll of his father as his hitwoman and was responsible for the death of his bosom friend on allegation of leading his son astray; a phenomenon that has left Alessandro devastated for too long. However, when it was ripe for Don Rocco to tie the knot between them, Alessandro ditch the whole idea and rather, enlisted himself in the seminary on grounds that his life was being lived for him by his father. Don Rocco was heartbroken on hearing the news; the empire of fortune close to his heart he has sunk so much effort in weaving for close to a century is about to cave in because the heir to take over control of it is about to embark on a journey to the Seminary. If he succeeds, he will become a priest at the end of it and never will he return. This has ignited a plethora of fear in Don Rocco's mind that his son may confess to the church the family's dirty secrets of illicit drug dealings, financial racketeering and gun-running that led to unending war, starvation and the subsequent downfall of a middle eastern country, a treasonable act in the laws of Italia, of which the abators in the crime are still being trailed up to this day. Don Rocco is agitated that the government may find out what they were looking for from Alessandro because some of those Priests pose as Secret Agents working for the government to extract information from unsuspecting felons during confessions. With this and many more in mind, Don Rocco wanted Alessandro slaughtered by Delorea, his betrothed to stop him from baring the family's shady deals to the eye of the public. Delorea reluctantly accepted the offer. Now that she has lost her man temporarily to the divination school, she wouldn’t want to miss him to eternal death, so she faked his demise. To make it looks real, she devised a means by hiring a highly skilled serial assassin of Israeli descent to kill another Seminarian in place of Alessandro as a decoy and pave the way to send her true love away on exile to her private estate in a hidden resort city of Siberia in the Russian Federation where she will hopefully reunite with him and steady their flickering relationship. Luckily for her, the conspiracy turned out to be a thumping success but somehow leaked along the line. However, Delorea managed to evade the long hands of the law just by its whiskers with the help of a die-hard crush of hers but Don Rocco and his wife did not, as they were tried and indicted by the law and were sentenced to life imprisonment. While in exile, Alessandro Epifany encountered a Russian sweetie named Lucifer Olek, an exceptionally beautiful but lonely girl; an ex-miss universe who was forced into marriage with an aged Russian top general whose name is Anatoli Nikolai by her prosperous parents in appreciation for a favour done to them. When Alessandro and Lucifer Olek made eye contact, the rest of the world seized to exist. The aftermath of this changed the course of everything.

While she muddled through the drama and masculinize herself to be the perfect Adonis in every women's heart, Edgar who has been crushing on her for so long accepted the fact that he would even bend himself for Dakota. *****A little blurp***** Where will you find a woman who would randomly grab a dick as if grabbing an eggplant on the vegetable stand? They might exist, but not much! And I, Dakota, am not that kind of pervert! I feel so conflicted. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. I am Aaron now. This body is mine. It doesn't make me a pervert. The end. I keep chanting those words while pulling the hospital's pants down a little, making sure my supple butt at the back isn't exposed. I took a deep breath and swiftly fish out my Lil Dakota. ..... It's cute. ..... The size ain't bad. ヽ(＊>∇

"Daisy" I whispered again. But She didn't respond. She was just looking down at the floor. Wait, Is she thinking that I kidnapped her? Fuck man. I took my phone out and called my personal assistant. "Hy Adam. I need you to call Dakota Connor and ask her to come and meet me. Give her my home address. It's urgent. She has to come within an hour and tell her that it's about her friend Daisy okay?" I said and disconnected the call. I was just looking at her for the entire time. "Are you planning to eat now or after your friend comes?" I asked her. But she didn't respond. She walked to one corner of the room and laid down. She curled up into a ball and hugged her knees tightly. "Daisy, you can lie on bed. The floor is cold. Get up." I told her as I walked towards her. "I will send you home when Dakota comes. Okay? I promise." I didn't want to see her like a helpless kitten got hurt. I sat down next to her on the floor. I didn't talk anything. She didn't react to that. We just stayed in silence for the entire time. It was so perfect this way. "Zayden, Dakota Connor is here." Gracie said through intercom. "Send her to my room Gracie." I said. Daisy looked up at me. I smiled back at her. But she didn't react and looked away.
