Marked A House Of Night

An Imperial Scholar by day. An assassin by night. The World of Cultivation has changed. Elemental Mancers. Flux Mancers. Spirit Mancers. Soul Mancers. Raining down fire and splitting oceans. Destroying mountains with a single stomp and calming skies with a glance. Controlling the tides of Karma, while wielding the souls of others like a puppeteer tugging on the Lines of Fate. The most mysterious of them all were Spirit Mancers, a truth that Theron was more than intimately familiar with. Due to one's Tribulation, his life was turned upside down. His family, his rage, his somber sadness becoming nothing more than Bad Karma's fuel for a madman. He was once a gentle young man, a non-combative Water Mancer who wanted nothing more than to read his novels to the sound of the rain and one day become an Imperial Scholar. But now... Everything had changed. He donned a cloak in the silent night as the clouds above gathered. Pulling its hood over his chilling blue eyes, he stalked off into the darkness. The first droplets fell. He would become the nightmare of his enemies, the blade hidden in the shadows of Heaven's tears. The River of the Night.

Rejected. Humiliated. Broken. When Celeste’s fated mate betrayed her for a stronger she-wolf, she lost everything—her home, her status, her dignity.

Taken in by a powerful Alpha feared across the packs, Celeste’s suffering should have ended. Instead, it was only the beginning. Her body burned with an unbearable pain, her mind tormented by visions of something ancient—something terrifying. She was changing, evolving into something out of legend. A wolf that shouldn’t exist. As whispers of prophecy swirl around her, her ex-mate begins to regret his choice. But Celeste is no longer the helpless woman he left behind. And this time, she’s not alone. Her second-chance mate is nothing like the first—ruthless, powerful, and utterly unwavering in his devotion. But with enemies in the shadows, a past that refuses to let go, and a woman who believes she is entitled to the Alpha by Celeste’s side, survival will take more than just strength. It will take strategy. It will take revenge. And when the time comes, Celeste will show them all that what remains after heartbreak… is something far more dangerous.

But, she didn’t know- She was the main reason for his damnation- For her, a lonely Prince turned into a ferocious monster, burning down the numerous kingdoms ------ [Extract from the Story] In the solitude of an eerie night, I met that stranger again. He was standing tall and straight like a towering spruce, his profile dark against the moonlight as his long and slender fingers were wrapped firmly around the hilt of his unsheathed sword. His deep voice growled furiously while pulling out the sharp and shining blade from the bandit’s heart, “Aren’t you daring enough to lay your dirty fingers on my woman?” Drops of blood tainted the velvety carpet of the grass and the body of the bandit fell on the ground, numb and lifeless. I was awestruck by the smooth strikes of his sword and it was impossible to steady my erratic pulse. Suddenly, his cold and burning gaze fell on me. Though I never met him before, he still felt the closest person; an inexplicable sense of deja vu washed over me, creating an uncanny familiarity that defied all logic. Approaching me, he cupped my chin tenderly in his warm hand as his thumb gently wiped a drop of blood from my cold cheek, making my body shiver alarmingly. My heart was hammering in my ears and his compelling eyes riveted me to the spot. However, noticing his deep wound, I mumbled in a breathy and concerned tone, “Your injury looks deadly. You need immediate treatment.” A deep chuckle greeted me as he pulled me closer to him, wrapping his strong arms around my waist. ‘Death is not a worry of mine Even if I must swallow poison I must have you…’

Eva was never meant to survive. Trapped in a world where bodies are currency and minds are playthings, she learned that suffering comes in many forms—and so does obsession.

Some to protect. Some to possess. And some to tear her apart just to see what’s left. But Eva has never been the fragile thing they believe her to be. Even broken, she has teeth. She was supposed to die. Instead, she becomes theirs. And they'll do whatever it takes to keep her-even if they have to break her completely first."

I still don't believe there is any shortcut in anything we do not talk of a shortcut to wealth, I have always advised my daughter Lucy about the internet and the rate of cybercrime going on on the internet. I’m a business owner and all my life, I have done everything the right way and worked diligently for my money but my daughter Lucy was stubborn and was keen on investing in some online investment site that offers over 55% of your initial investment in the space of a month. I warned her against this and not investing but he wouldn’t listen, he believes the world is changing and crypto is the new money. Unfortunately for her and our family business, while I was away for a week he took over 750,000 USD which he invested in the investment company. I learnt of this upon my return a week later and was weak to my knees, I had no option but to wait it out to see for real if they were any good. When it was time to cash out at the end of the month, the investment company radioed silent on him and locked him out of his account. I had to act fast or watch our family business go bankrupt, I made a few calls to my business partners who knew people around the world and I got connected with SACLUX COMPTECH SPECIALST.
