Broken Vessels Amazing Grace

I spent my whole life in luxury, among people who loved me or at least pretended so. I never had to care for anything, all was given to me. From one day to another I became a prince of nothing. A former royalty with no family, no power and no bright hope for the future. Even worse, I was sold as a slave. However I will not give up. I might be young, alone and inexperienced but I will learn to fight for myself, get my revenge and find my own place in this world. … I hope so at least.

Noah Carter is a 16-year-old with a past shrouded in mystery. After the sudden death of his parents when he was just a child, Noah’s life was altered forever. Raised by his grandmother in the sleepy town of Willow Creek, Noah has always felt like an outsider, his past a puzzle he can never quite piece together. The story begins when Noah stumbles upon a cryptic letter left by his late father, hidden in an old Bible at his grandmother’s house. The letter contains a mysterious message, “The hidden light is near. Trust in the Lord, and you will find it.” This discovery forces Noah to question everything he thought he knew about his family—and his father’s untimely death. What was his father involved in? And why had Noah been left with so many unanswered questions? As Noah digs deeper into his father’s past, he uncovers a map, a book filled with cryptic symbols, and a trail that leads him to a hidden temple buried beneath the town. The more he uncovers, the more he realizes that his father’s secrets are part of something much larger and far more dangerous than he ever could have imagined. When a strange figure warns Noah that he's on the wrong path and that he’s not ready for what’s coming, Noah is forced to reckon with the choices he’s made. The temple—what was his father protecting there? And why are others trying to stop him from uncovering the truth? As Noah races against time, pursued by mysterious forces and unsure who to trust, he discovers that he is no longer just searching for answers—he is at the heart of an ancient conflict that could alter the course of history. With each step closer to the truth, the danger grows, and Noah must decide whether to turn back or risk everything to uncover the legacy his father left behind. The Hidden Path is a thrilling, supernatural journey into secrets buried deep beneath the surface of a quiet town, where one boy’s quest for answers might just be the key to unlocking an age-old mystery—and unleashing something far more powerful than he ever imagined.

As a human, I should be miles away from any large shifter event. Especially the annual Mate Hunt. A hunt for mates. Doesn't that sound barbaric? Yeah, it's as bad as it sounds. Several packs in the area gather as their newly minted adult wolves shift. Females are let into the woods first and are given an hour's head start, just before sundown. Then it's time for the males, ostensibly thrown out to hunt down the scent of their fated (or chosen) mates. It isn't an event for the faint of heart, and it's definitely no place for someone who can't shift. So why the fuck am I here, running my little human heart out, chased by what sounds like an entire pack of wolves? Great question. I don't know, either. But I'm here. Surrounded by howls fueled by the thrill of the hunt. Feet bleeding. Lungs freezing. I am so fucked. ---- R18. Dark themes, including but not limited to: Murder, attempted murder, a stack of dead bodies, betrayal, mild sociopathy, an ML who appears to bathe in red flags despite his favorite color being green, an unwarranted hatred of blueberry muffins, and pillow thievery.

After losing everything, Daron Lamb is consumed by grief and guilt, until he's recruited by the Special Magic Force, an elite unit protecting the balance between magical and non-magical worlds. Together, they uncover a secret organization determined to free the God of Chaos, a force sealed away to protect humanity. As Daron investigates, he uncovers a chilling link between the group and his tragic past. Driven by revenge, he joins forces with his new allies to stop them. But as the truth behind the organization’s motives begins to surface, Daron is forced to confront a disturbing possibility: freeing the God of Chaos, though orchestrated by his enemies, might not bring the destruction he's been led to believe. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Daron's gaze drifted downward to his chest. Below, the stark contrast of a faint blue light against his white skin caught his eye—a soft glow emanating from his own chest. It softly pulsed, a gentle luminescence that ebbed and flowed with the rhythm of his own heartbeat. Baffled, he just sat there for a few moments, observing. As his fingers touched the source of light, he was surprised to find that everything felt normal, as if it had always been this way. It was like nothing had changed at all. Daron's eyes widened in disbelief when he noticed a strange black liquid seeping into the wounds on his chest—a substance like ink, flowing from within him. It moved with purpose, filling the gaps left by the fat butcher and stanching the flow of blood that had painted his skin red. "By the gods," he gasped, the sight both unsettling and miraculous. The black liquid quickly solidified, forming scars as black as the night sky. His eyes remained fixed on the eerie scene, his breath steadying to a normal rhythm. He was a magician now… it felt strange. He didn't feel particularly different. Sure, a mysterious substance had just mended his broken skin, but other than that, he didn't feel like he could do anything… new, anything special. He stretched out his hand, trying to summon a sharp wind to cut down his shackles. Nothing happened. Next, a flame, to burn down his cell. Nothing happened. “Figures,” he said to himself. “Why would it be easy?” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For news and feedback, feel free to join the Vessel of Shadows Discord: https://discord.gg/dmCYCKNwx7
