The room felt suffocatingly quiet. Rain tapped against the windows in uneven rhythms, and every drop seemed louder than it should have been.
Then Chhaya's voice broke the silence.
"I told you!" she shouted, her voice shaking as tears streamed down her face. "I told all of you not to go near that stupid ship!"
Anurag stood in front of her, completely still. He opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out at first.
"Chhaya... Hum sabko kya pata tha ke kuch aisa ho jayeng-"
"Exactly!" she cut him off. "You didn't know because none of you wanted to listen! I told you that mujhe woh jagah kuch thik nahi lag rahi thi. Mai baar baar keh rahi thi tum logo ko...But, everyone just laughed like it was some horror movie adventure."
Her voice cracked halfway through the sentence.
"Now Varya, Ishaan and Dheeraj are just... missing."
The word gone hung in the air, heavy and awful.
Ahalya stared at the floor, twisting her fingers together so tightly her knuckles had turned pale. Vansh leaned against the wall, his arms crossed.
Ahvi finally stepped forward.
"Chhaya, we didn't do it intentionally. Stop blaming him," she said gently, though her voice sounded tired. "Hum sab mein se kisi ne nahi socha tha ke kuch aisa ho jayenga..."
"I'm not blaming him, I'm blaming all of us. Because we all ignored the one thing that could have stopped this."
Ahalya's head snapped up. She hesitated before speaking, her voice barely above a whisper.
"Do you guys feel it too?.."
Everyone looked at her.
"Feel what?" ahvi asked.
Ahalya swallowed nervously.
"Like...something followed us back."
The rain outside suddenly grew louder, hitting the windows in sharp bursts.
No one laughed.
No one even tried to say that she was being paranoid.
Because deep down, every single one of them felt it too...that heavy feeling in their chest.

Valarie: The Vampire Prince's Maid
Valerie was never meant to be his. But Henry has never been good at letting go. Drowning under student loans, rent she can't afford, and a future slipping through her fingers, Valerie answers a newspaper ad that feels almost like a joke- a live-in maid at a private estate, no questions asked. She expects an eccentric old man. She does not expect him. Henry is hauntingly gentle, painfully isolated, and untouched by the human world he has kept at a careful distance. Raised in secrecy and self-imposed exile, he has spent his life trying to suppress the monster his blood demands him to be. Letting Valerie cross his threshold is a mistake he knows he should not make-and one he cannot bring himself to undo. What begins as shelter turns into fixation. Protection becomes possession. And lust sharpens into something dangerous enough to draw blood. Dragged into an ancient underworld of vampire royalty, ruthless power, and unspoken cruelty, Valerie finds herself bound to a man who would destroy anything that threatens her -- even if that threat is the world itself. Escape is no longer simple. Survival means choosing who you are willing to become a monster for. Because in Henry's world, love is not gentle... and it is paid for in blood. New chapter daily

Baby Blue Bird
"Jesus Christ..." he muttered, swallowing hard. He reached out tentatively, his gloved fingers brushing against the infant's cheek. It was ice-cold. The baby's chest rose and fell faintly, each breath a Herculean effort. Beneath the child, the tarp was damp-not with water, but something metallic-smelling and sticky. Blood? Ramirez's stomach twisted. "Dispatch," he whispered hoarsely into his radio, forcing his voice steady. "Officer Ramirez, 9th and Mercer. I need an ambulance. I found an infant. Abandoned. Possible injury." . . "They found a baby in Gotham," Bruce finally said. "Abandoned in an alley. They ran a DNA test... and it matched you." Dick froze, the world around him suddenly quiet, as if the city itself held its breath. "What?" he said sharply, disbelief washing over him. "That's impossible."

Chained To The Wolf Prince
In the slums of Dawnridge, humans dream small. A full stomach. A warm bed. A single golden petal drifting from the Spring Union Parade, said to promise love and a better future. Zaria has stopped believing in fairytales, but she still searches for the petal every year. Because hope is hard to kill. Beyond the crumbling streets of Dawnridge, tension between humans and wolf-shifters grows more dangerous by the day. Villages refuse to unite, old hatred festers, and the borders weaken against the horrors lurking beyond them, from flesh-ripping rotfangs to child-stealing skullcrows and rebels eager to watch the kingdoms burn. When Crown Prince Cassius arrives in his bedridden father's place to restore order, he expects resistance. What he does not expect is her. Cold, ruthless, and fiercely loyal to his kingdom, Cassius believes humans and wolf-shifters should remain separated, though he honours the fragile alliance for the sake of his father's wishes. Then one encounter with a fiery, stubborn human girl changes everything. After fate chains Zaria and Cassius together in ways neither of them expected, they are drawn into a dangerous world of political unrest, buried secrets, deadly creatures, and a bond that threatens everything they thought they knew about loyalty, hatred, and themselves. Because some chains are stronger than iron. And some fates refuse to be broken.
