Chapter 3

I drifted in darkness for days.

The nine prior heartblood extractions had been agonizing but survivable. This time, it felt like he'd carved out my soul.

As the purest-blooded she-wolf of the Pack, my heartblood held unparalleled power-a single drop could resurrect the dead or mend shattered bones. Yet I only carried ten drops. Ten drops that meant my death.

In fevered dreams, I relived my first meeting with Liam decades ago.

My mother had warned me before her passing: "Alice, your heart is too trusting. It'll blind you to wolves in sheep's pelts."

The memory sharpened to Liam's first betrayal-the silver dagger glinting as he pierced my chest. Afterward, he'd confessed about Phiona, his childhood sweetheart. To secure his Alpha ascension, she'd offered her virginity as a sacrifice of the pack to Moon Goddess. In the pack every man either rogue old or disabled, even crumpled had sex with her.Now he ruled the pack while she aged as a mortal, forever tethered to his guilt.

"So you pursued me for my heartblood?" I'd demanded, clutching my bandaged chest.

"But I've grown to love you, Alice. There's no future with Phiona-only this debt to settle. Surely you understand?"

Never had I hated my "trusting heart" more.

Because I did understand.

It's just heartblood, I'd told myself after each extraction. Ten drops. What's one?

But one became nine. Nine thefts for Phiona's endless crises-a carriage accident, a brutal husband, widowhood, a suicide attempt. Each time Liam returned with fresh desperation. If he loves her so deeply, I'd wondered, how could he watch her wed another? Yet part of me pitied their tragic bond.

After the ninth extraction, Liam proposed.

I accepted.

What use was a she-wolf with depleted heartblood?

Whispers followed me through the pack's territory:

"Her fur's gone white-won't last the winter."

"Pathetic. Lets Liam steal her last drop on their mating night, then he bolts? Should've seen it coming."

"He didn't know it'd kill her. Surely even he's not that cruel."

"Men are all cruel. Only a fool like Alice believes in love."

I kept walking, head bowed. My mother's final words haunted me: "You're the last of the Wisteria line, Alice. Find a worthy mate. Restore our PACK."

Shame choked me. I'd failed her. Failed my bloodline. Soon I'd be carrion, leaving the Wisteria name to rot.

Gazing at the blood-red moon, a sudden resolve crystallized:

I need to meet Phiona.

Legend of Icaros Novel Cover
9.5
He was born from the void between stars - a being of immense power, forged from cosmic origins. For thousands of years, he walked among humanity, protecting them and keeping his true strength hidden. After losing the only family he had, grief led him to seek his own end... only to wake up in a world entirely unlike his own. Here, cultivation is the main path to power. Those who master spirit qi gain superhuman strength, speed, and abilities that place them far above ordinary people. Four great sects rule the land, competing for resources, secrets, and dominance over each other. Icaros joined the Li Sect, where he found companions he came to trust and care for: the capable and easygoing Li Han, the sharp and composed Su Yan, and the spirited Nelly. For a time, he felt he had found a place to belong, even as he kept his true nature hidden and wondered whether he could ever learn to cultivate like those around him. Everything changed when their voyage was suddenly attacked. A powerful figure floating in the sky cut their ship apart with sharp, devastating energy strikes, leaving only destruction in his wake. Believing his friends had been lost in the disaster, Icaros chose to stop holding back any longer. > "I am done hiding!" He unleashed his full power: golden light blazed from his eyes, he flew at incredible speed, and he broke through every barrier and enemy in his way. On the shores ahead, he tore through hordes of powerful jade monsters, destroying them completely before flying deep into the interior of the island. Meanwhile, survivors washed up scattered and alone. One young cultivator found himself on the shores of Jade Island - a place most cultivators avoid, as it holds no treasures or useful materials, only danger and endless deposits of ordinary jade. Yet despite the risks, ordinary people have built settlements here, finding safety from the conflicts and power struggles of the outside world. This island works by different rules. Spirit qi is scarce and unstable, making cultivation far less effective than elsewhere. Instead, the people here rely on advanced technology - weapons and explosives that can injure or even defeat those with great physical strength. Here, skill and preparation can be just as powerful as raw strength, and even the strongest cultivators must move with caution. Now, Icaros has vanished deep into the island. His companions are lost somewhere across this dangerous land. And the mysterious swordsman who destroyed their ship has already arrived here, searching for an ancient map said to lead to the legacy of a being from another world. Will they find each other again? And can anyone survive in a place where the usual rules of power no longer hold true? ✅ Chapters 1–19: FREE 🔒 Chapters 20 onwards: PAID (Continue the journey of power, friendship, and discovery!)
