Chapter 7

The ballroom emptied out rapidly, leaving behind shattered glass and the stench of ruined reputations.

Isidora walked quickly down the quiet, carpeted hallway toward the underground parking garage. She needed to leave before the press found her.

As she passed a half-open VIP lounge door, a large hand shot out from the darkness.

Fingers wrapped around her bicep like a steel vice. She was violently yanked into the room.

The door slammed shut and locked.

Isidora stumbled, falling backward onto a leather sofa. The scent of cedarwood filled her lungs.

She scrambled to her feet, glaring at Cedrick.

"Mr. Garrison," Isidora said, her voice sharp. "Tonight was a disaster. As the head of the family, you need to officially cancel this engagement immediately."

Cedrick sat down slowly in a single armchair. He crossed his long legs, watching her like a hawk watching a mouse.

"Cancel it?" Cedrick asked, his tone dangerously soft. "Why would I do that?"

Isidora stared at him in disbelief. "Kevin is a laughingstock. The merger is toxic. There is zero value left in this marriage!"

Cedrick leaned forward. The air in the room suddenly felt too heavy to breathe.

"Miss Wyatt, do you really think playing a dirty video is enough to flip the Wall Street tables?" Cedrick mocked. "Garrison stock will tank tomorrow, yes. And I will use that panic to buy out the retail investors at rock bottom. You didn't hurt me. You just made me richer."

He stood up, his tall frame casting a shadow over her.

"And you?" Cedrick continued. "You are nothing but the sacrificial lamb both families will use to absorb the public's anger."

Isidora's chest tightened, but she refused to back down. "I have more evidence. If they push me, I will burn the Garrison name to the ground."

Cedrick's hand shot out. He grabbed the back of her neck, his fingers tangling in her hair, and pulled her face inches from his.

"Try it," Cedrick whispered, his eyes pitch black. "But I promise you, before you strike the match, I will crush your bones into dust."

The heat of his breath hit her skin. The physical proximity sent a violent shiver down her spine, a terrifying echo of last night.

Suddenly, her phone vibrated violently in her clutch.

Cedrick glanced at the bag. He slowly released her neck and gestured with his chin. "Answer it."

Isidora pulled her phone out. The caller ID read: Arsenio Wyatt.

She swiped answer. "What."

"Get your ass to Lenox Hill Hospital right now," Arsenio's voice roared through the speaker. "You will apologize to Kevin and Hyman."

"I will not apologize!" Isidora yelled back. "He cheated! He humiliated me!"

Arsenio let out a cold, venomous laugh. "Fine. Don't apologize. But if you aren't at that hospital in thirty minutes, I'm having your mother's grave exhumed."

The words hit Isidora like a bullet to the chest.

Her blood turned to ice. Her fingers went completely numb, almost dropping the phone.

"You can't do that," Isidora gasped, her voice breaking. "That plot was paid for from her trust! You have no right!"

"Your mother's final resting place is on land I control. Thirty minutes," Arsenio said ruthlessly.

The line went dead.

Isidora's knees gave out. She collapsed back onto the sofa. The air left her lungs. Her mother had passed away years ago, but Arsenio had controlled every aspect of the funeral and burial, placing her in a private cemetery he could hold over Isidora's head. It was the only leverage her father needed.

Cedrick stood perfectly still. He had heard every word. A flicker of cold understanding crossed his eyes. The desperation. The blackmail. She wasn't a scheming gold digger manipulating her way into high society; she was a cornered hostage fighting for her mother's final peace. He still saw her as a plain, unremarkable pawn, but her motive was survival, not greed.

"It seems your grand rebellion couldn't survive a single phone call," Cedrick mocked coldly.

Isidora looked up. Her eyes were bloodshot, but no tears fell. Pure, unadulterated hatred burned in her stare.

"You people are monsters," she whispered.

Cedrick adjusted his expensive cuffs. "Welcome to the real world, Miss Wyatt. Monsters only eat the weak."

He walked to the door, opened it, and looked back at her. "Thirty minutes. I'd hate for your mother's grave to be disturbed."

He walked out.

Isidora closed her eyes. She forced the bile back down her throat. She pushed her ugly glasses up her nose, stood up, and walked toward the hospital.

She had loved him. Truly. Foolishly. And he had used her. For her blood. For her silence. For her sacrifice. She didn’t cry. Not even when the fire died and the cold crept in. Instead, she whispered to the night: > “I will not die here. I will not be forgotten.” The rogue wolves found her on the third day. There were five of them—scarred, savage, and hungry. They circled her like vultures, sniffing her fear. “You smell like pack,” one growled. “I was,” she replied. “Then you’re meat.” She didn’t run. She didn’t beg. She stood. And something inside her snapped. Not like a bone. Like a chain. Her blood surged. Her eyes burned. Her skin shimmered with heat. The wolves lunged. She screamed. But it wasn’t a scream. It was a howl. A howl that split the sky. The wolves froze. One whimpered. Another backed away. Zariah didn’t shift. She transformed. Her body glowed with crimson light. Her voice echoed with ancient power. The wolves bowed. She didn’t understand it. Not yet. But she felt it. She was no longer prey. She was something else. Something forgotten. Something feared. She spent the next weeks learning. Hunting. Listening. The rogue wolves taught her how to survive. But they also feared her. They called her “Crimson.” They whispered that she was cursed. That her blood was not of this age. She didn’t care. She trained. She healed. She grew. And one night, under a blood moon, she stood atop the ridge and made a vow: > “I will return. Not for love. Not for forgiveness. But for reckoning.” Her. “You should’ve stayed dead,” he said, voice low. She turned to him, lips curling into a smile. “I came back to bury the living.” His jaw tightened. “You don’t know what you’re walking into.” “I know exactly what I’m walking into,” she said. “And I’m not walking. I’m hunting.” --- The Trials began at dawn. The first challenge was physical—an obstacle course designed to test speed, strength, and endurance. Wolves shifted mid-run, leaping over fire pits, scaling stone walls, diving through enchanted fog. Zariah didn’t shift. She ran in human form, her cloak billowing behind her like wings. She didn’t win. But she didn’t lose. She finished in the top five. Kael noticed her then. His eyes narrowed. His nostrils flared. He didn’t recognize her. Not yet. But he felt something. Liora whispered in his ear. He nodded. Zariah kept walking.

Love has its end, and there is no return date Novel Cover
9.5
The Serene Chants Temple hummed with sutras and clamored with a crowd. Kneeling on a prayer mat before the Buddha, Madison prayed with profound depth. *I, Madison, vow to journey to the sacred land, to guard the holy mountain, and never again to set foot beyond the Tibetan Plateau.* Walter observed her humble attire. *The Sacred Peak of Zagrama is humanity’s last pure land. To set foot there requires abandoning all attachments—renouncing every earthly passion and tie.* Though her eyelids fluttered, her gaze held a serenity born of utter detachment. *In this life, I will not marry, I will not bear children. I am willing to lay down my attachments and take monastic vows!* Pity filled his eyes. *The air on the holy mountain is thin, the cold perpetual, the conditions harsh beyond measure. Once you enter, you must guard the sacred land until your life’s end.* *Madison, are you certain?* She nodded solemnly. *I am willing to guard the sacred land for a lifetime. Until my very last breath!* Seeing her resolve was firm, Walter did not dissuade her further. *Fast and purify for three days; bathe and burn incense. Then, I will have the local Tibetans escort you into the holy mountain.* The Sacred Peak of Zagrama was a Buddhist sanctuary, forbidden to outsiders. To go and guard it meant complete isolation from the world. She and Louis would never see each other again. … Madison had lost both parents in her youth, growing up instead within the walls of Serene Chants Temple. When she was five, her parents had taken her up the mountain to pay respects to the Buddha—only to encounter enemies bent on revenge. Murdered by the villains, they left her hiding beneath a statue, where she narrowly escaped. Walter, seeing her alone and helpless, had taken her in. The year she turned eighteen, Madison met Louis and fell for him at first sight. He had fled to the Tibetan Plateau to escape an arranged business marriage, entering religious life as his refuge. One night, Madison pushed open the door to the meditation chamber. Louis sat on a prayer cushion, his fingers turning a sandalwood rosary, sacred verses whispering from his lips. His glacial detachment, the rigid control in his posture—it all kindled a reckless hunger in her. Summoning her courage, she settled herself astride his lap, her pale, jade-like fingers gripping his chin. Her red dress, thin as cicada wings, hinted at the alluring curves beneath. After a lifetime of obedience, she suddenly wanted to break the rules, just this once. "Mr. Louis, your worldly ties are not yet severed. Reciting sutras won’t bring you peace!" His expression remained cold and remote as a mountain glacier, a silent warning. His gaze darkened. "This is a sacred place. You’re defiling it. Have you no shame?" Madison leaned forward, her graceful curves on display as she wrapped herself around his waist with a reckless new allure. "People have emotions and desires, joy and sorrow. Why should that be shameful?" She was eighteen, every fantasy amplified by a lifetime behind temple walls. Having grown up there, she had always yearned for the world outside. Not a ripple of emotion crossed Louis’s face; his eyes stayed utterly still. Madison pressed on, her voice a low murmur. "You don’t want to be a sacrifice to a business marriage. You don’t want to strain family ties, so you choose to run away." "Only a coward runs. The strong face adversity—they hold their own fate." He had fled to this pure sanctuary, thinking he could escape the mundane world. Then his lips found her ear, his warm breath on her skin, and everything spiraled out of control. Candlelight shuddered against the walls. The very room seemed to tremble with the heat they generated.
