A Silent Vow

"Ah, do gather ‘round, my dear, doomed darlings! Let me tell you a tale stitched together with silk and sinew, of a world that weeps and wails yet waltzes on, oh-so-beautifully, toward its inevitable doom! A tale where a bastard prince—oh, do forgive me, a Yellow Bastard, no less!—dances through the carnage with a grin sharper than a guillotine’s kiss. The war? Endless. The dead? Numerous. The fools who think they can win? Oh, darling, they’re my favourite! And me? HA! I am but the Jester of Fate, laughing at the script I can recite but never rewrite! There is love, yes! Blood-soaked, broken, bitterly beautiful love! There is horror, the kind that makes even monsters shudder! And there is a melody—a requiem for the dreamers who thought they could defy the abyss. So, my sweet, step right up! Watch as kings fall, messiahs burn, and devils waltz upon the graves of gods! It is all so, so funny, don’t you think? No? Ah, well. Laugh or weep, the requiem plays on. And so do we."

In a realm where werewolves, dryads, and demons clash under the weight of prophecy, chaos reigns as an ancient battle leaves rivers of blood in its wake. Amid this turmoil, Calista struggles to find her place in a world that seems determined to break her. Despised by her family and yearning for their approval, Calista pins her hopes on turning eighteen and embracing her werewolf form. But even that isn’t enough to win her family’s love. Everything changes when she is unexpectedly chosen by Prince Ezekiel to be the future Luna of the Crescent Moon Pack—a decision that throws her life into deeper disarray. Her sister Emily, a rare talent and their father’s pride, is the clear favorite of the pack. The community grows resentful of Calista, questioning why someone so “unremarkable” has claimed the position they believe Emily deserves. But this petty rivalry is the least of her worries when Calista catches the eye of Alexander, an ancient demon with terrifying power. Alexander, who has long avoided the threat of a prophecy that foretells his downfall, identifies Calista as its key. With no memory of her true heritage, Calista’s blood holds a secret tied to the forbidden Land of Hades, and Alexander is determined to use her to open the portal that will grant him ultimate dominion. But there’s more to Calista than anyone suspects—even herself. As strange visions and haunting dreams plague her, she begins to uncover her connection to an ancient prophecy: “Defying the laws of nature brings ruin. The stars shall fall, rivers of blood will follow, and Hades will whisper your name. But you must not answer, or the realms will perish.” Caught in a web of lies, forbidden power, and impossible choices, Calista must decide whether to trust the demon who swore to destroy her—or embrace the legacy that could unravel the fabric of all creation. Will she open the gates to the Land of Hades and doom the world, or defy her fate at the cost of everything she holds dear?

The gravest transgression resides in the betrayal of one's essence, when all is cast aside for fleeting shadows, for nothing that bears true weight. For the truest measure of a soul lies not in the tides of others' influence, but in the steadfast conviction of one's own beliefs, unyielding to the eroding winds of conformity. It is in purity of individual thought, untainted and resolute, that the meaning of a person is forged and sustained.

War is a hunger that devours everything. Kingdoms, armies, and even the souls of those who fight it. For Eryndor Voss, war was never a choice—it was survival. Once a miner in the storm-scarred highlands, he lost everything when the Akkadian Empire burned his village, enslaved his people, and carved their dominion into the bones of the earth. Now, as a commander of the Raven Claws, a ruthless rebel force striking from the shadows, he wages a war not for glory, but for vengeance. But empires do not break easily. The Akkadian Warborn, elite warriors clad in black iron, hunt him relentlessly. Their leader, the enigmatic Legate Kaelvar, is more than a soldier—he is a tactician who plays war like a grandmaster’s game, turning every battlefield into a test of Eryndor’s resolve. The war grows bloodier, the lines between honor and monstrosity thinner. Victory demands sacrifice. But as Eryndor’s desperate guerrilla strikes escalate into full-scale rebellion, he faces a question far darker than death: Can you win a war without becoming the monster you fight?

"Let me take a look." Mr. Wright’s voice was calm, professional even, but his touch—steady and assured as he lifted me onto the desk—was anything but ordinary. His hands, broad and strong, lingered just a moment too long on my arm as he steadied me, sending an unwelcome but undeniable shiver down my spine. I swallowed hard, trying not to notice the way his tie loosened slightly as he leaned in or the faint scent of cedarwood and worn pages that seemed to follow him everywhere. He was close enough now that I could see the faint worry lines etched into his brow as he carefully slid the strap of my uniform off my shoulder. "Alina," he said softly, his voice low but tinged with exasperation, "why do you always end up hurt?" His fingers ghosted over the darkened skin near my collarbone, examining it with the precision of someone who cared too much but tried not to show it. "You need to stop being reckless," he murmured, his tone shifting, softer now. "If anyone bullies you again, come to my office, and I’ll deal with them." It was a simple offer, but I had to remind myself, loudly and firmly, that this was my Mr.. The man responsible for my education, not... whatever my mind was trying to turn him into. "Mr. Wright," I started, trying to regain control of the situation—and my racing heart. "This really isn’t a big deal. I can handle myself." His jaw tightened ever so slightly, and for a fleeting moment, I thought he might argue. Instead, he stepped back, his hands falling away from me as if realizing they’d overstayed their welcome. --------------------------------------------------------------- Alina Hart, a sharp-tongued high school senior, hides behind sarcasm and wit to mask the pain of fractured family life.

What begins as reluctant mentorship soon transforms into a tangled web of forbidden emotions, unspoken words, and an undeniable pull that neither can ignore. Set against the bustling corridors of an urban high school and the quiet corners of a library filled with unspoken confessions, Silent Flames, Forbidden Paths explores the fine line between admiration and desire, duty and vulnerability. As Alina and Wright grapple with their feelings, they must confront their moral boundaries and the cost of their choices.
