Darkened Chapter 1 <<<The Attack>>>

Who would have thought such a beautiful day that felt so surreal could quickly turn into one filled with terror and so many horrendous memories? It was a warm night in Brexton, a small town located on the outskirts of New York City. The full moon could be seen in all its glory, peering from in between the trees. Keith stood by the waters looking over the horizon, the stars were shining so brightly and the full moon lit up the calm surface of the waters. Keith felt so peaceful watching the stars, a young boy in his teenage years.

He had just stormed out of the house after a hot argument with his mom. She insisted on him cutting his brown long curly hair but he just wouldn't listen and left the house after refusing to do as his mother had instructed.

As the night set in deeper, the full and bright moon remained hanging in the sky and the only audible sound was the chirping of crickets and the humming from Keith as he kept his eyes fixated on the starry sky. Suddenly, a scream rented the air. Keith looked around but saw nothing. He turned back to continue admiring the beautiful scenery but the screams came again, this time, louder and clearer. It was a woman's voice and immediately it was followed by the scream of a child and another. A loud howl came afterward that shook the entire town and sent shivers down their spines.

The night that started with the allure of a serene atmosphere quickly unraveled into a nightmarish ordeal for the town of Brexton. As Keith stood by the waters, the tranquility was shattered by otherworldly chaos that descended upon them.

A group of vicious werewolves had made their way to Brexton under the full moon, unbeknownst to the villagers. These once-human creatures were cursed to shift into terrifying beasts when the moon reached its full phase. Nothing like this had ever happened in town before, and the residents were entirely unprepared for what was about to happen.

The first frightening howls resonated through the night as the stars continued to shine overhead, and the residents of Brexton, unaware of the impending threat, were caught off guard by the terrifying sounds. Panic spread like wildfire as the chilling realization of the situation took hold. The piercing howls were followed by a series of snarls and growling, this got the whole town on high alert.

"What was that?!" exclaimed one horrified mother, clutching her baby close to her chest.

"I don't know, but we need to get out of here!" screamed a man as he rallied his family to accompany him.

The streets were now filled with terrified screams as the townspeople desperately tried to flee the wrath of the marauding werewolves. Houses were being pulled apart, and the lovely night had turned into a horror.

Keith, still reeling from his earlier argument with his mother, found himself caught in the heart of the mayhem. Noises of pain were heard all over. The town was under attack and Keith was shocked about how everything suddenly happened. While he was on his knees, witnessing the horrible sight of the killings, he heard what sounded like his mother calling out his name. It was at the moment it rang in Keith'shead that he actually has a home to run to, his family to save. As he tried to make his way back home, he came face to face with the monstrous creatures. His heart pounded in his chest as he witnessed their sheer ferocity. Keith's thoughts of defiance were replaced by a primal instinct for survival.

He ran for his life but the werewolves were relentless in their pursuit. With each step, Keith's fear escalated and he felt the hot breath of the beasts closing in on him. In a desperate bid to flee, he dashed down an alley, expecting to evade them in the maze of shadows, but fate had other plans for Keith. As he stumbled through the dimly lit alley, one of the werewolves pounced on him, plunging its sharp fangs deep into his shoulder. Keith screamed in agony as he fell to the ground. He hoped the creature would consume him, but he was left to perish on the floor, defenseless. Keith struggled to move. He became paralyzed and his arms were stiff and could hear the sound of the blood gushing out from his neck.

Meanwhile, the once vibrant town of Brexton was now engulfed in a nightmarish tableau of destruction. Houses were in rubble, and the streets were bloodstained. The werewolves had unleashed their wrath on the unwary residents, leaving a path of destruction in their wake. Keith's parents were not spared the tragedy amid the mayhem. Their lives were tragically cut short by the savage onslaught. After the town was wiped off every mortal being, the werewolves retreated into the woods. The departure of the werewolves did not bring relief to Keith.

As he lay on the ground, his body wracked with pain, he could feel an unsettling transformation taking place. The bite he had received had consequences far beyond his imagination. Sharp aches pierced his neck, and his entire body felt as if it were on fire. His bones seemed to crackle and shift as if attempting to realign themselves. Keith whimpered in anguish, unable to fathom the horror of what was happening to him. A sudden darkness hovered around him and he became unconscious.

Silence swept through the night that fateful day and just in a split second, the scene presented Keith opened his eyes, he found himself surrounded by a sorrowful forest. The moonlight streamed through the dense forest canopy, throwing strange shadows on the ground. As he fought to make sense of his surroundings, fear and uncertainty engulfed him. "Where am I?" his mind spoke softly as he stared at the moon above.

Attempting to sit up, Keith realized that something was vastly different about his body. His movements were unnatural and disjointed. When he tried to speak, all that escaped his mouth were guttural sounds, akin to an animal's growls. Panic washed over him as he brought his hands to his face, only to discover elongated claws where his fingernails once were.

"Aaarghhhhhh!" he screamed.

For two years, I was the invisible force behind tech billionaire Kieran Douglas, convinced that our "private" romance was his way of protecting us from the tabloid spotlight. I managed his mergers, warmed his bed, and waited for a future that didn't exist. The illusion shattered at 6:00 AM when a Page Six alert debuted Kieran’s "real" romance with socialite Aspen Schneider. Before I could even process the betrayal, Kieran sent me a cold, professional text: "Order flowers for Aspen. Pink peonies. Her favorite." When I tried to walk away, my own mother called me a disgrace and threatened to lock my inheritance forever unless I married a sixty-year-old businessman to save her failing estate. At a high-society gala that same night, Aspen intentionally crushed my burned hand in front of the cameras, while Kieran stood by and dismissed me as a "mediocre assistant" who had overstayed her welcome. I stood in the cold New York rain, drenched in champagne and humiliation, realizing that every sacrifice I made for Kieran was a joke. I was a ghost in a penthouse that was never mine, discarded the moment his "soulmate" returned. To the world, I was just a placeholder whose time had run out. But Kieran forgot one thing: my father’s multi-million dollar trust fund unlocks the moment I legally marry. I didn't need love; I needed a signature and a shield. I walked into a discreet law firm and signed a marriage contract with a man I believed was the city’s most notorious, scandal-ridden playboy. I thought I was marrying a degenerate "beard" to buy my freedom and secure my revenge. I didn't realize the man who signed that paper wasn't a playboy at all, but Gaston Collins—the most powerful and dangerous man on Wall Street—and he had no intention of letting our fake marriage stay fake.

Rain hammered against the asphalt as my sedan spun violently into the guardrail on the I-95. Blood trickled down my temple, stinging my eyes, while the rhythmic slap of the windshield wipers mocked my panic. Trembling, I dialed my husband, Clive. His executive assistant answered instead, his voice professional and utterly cold. "Mr. Wilson says to stop the theatrics. He said, and I quote, 'Hang up. Tell her I don’t have time for her emotional blackmail tonight.'" The line went dead while I was still trapped in the wreckage. At the hospital, I watched the news footage of Clive wrapping his jacket around his "fragile" ex-girlfriend, Angelena, shielding her from the storm I was currently bleeding in. When I returned to our penthouse, I found a prenatal ultrasound in his suit pocket, dated the day he claimed to be on a business trip. Instead of an apology, Clive met me with a sneer. He told me I was nothing but an "expensive decoration" his father bought to make him look stable. He froze my bank accounts and cut off my cards, waiting for the hunger to drive me back to his feet. I stared at the man I had loved for four years, realizing he didn't just want a wife; he wanted a prop he could switch off. He thought he could starve me into submission while he played father to another woman's child. But Clive forgot one thing. Before I was his trophy wife, I was Starfall—the legendary voice actress who vanished at the height of her fame. "I'm not jealous, Clive. I'm done." I grabbed my old microphone and walked out. I’m not just leaving him; I’m taking the lead role in the biggest saga in Hollywood—the one Angelena is desperate for. This time, the "decoration" is going to burn his world down.

I arrived at my uncle’s mansion looking like human trash, clutching a one-way bus ticket and a duffel bag stuffed with old newspaper. My aunt looked at me with pure disgust, as if she could smell the poverty on my skin, but they needed me for one thing: to be a sacrificial lamb. They told me I was getting married to Julian Sterling, a man the elite circles called a violent monster locked in a cage. My uncle forced me to sign away my soul to save their failing fortune, while my cousin Kayla laughed and threw a torn dress at my feet, calling me a "rat from the Rust Belt." At the Sterling estate, the nightmare only deepened. Julian’s stepmother treated me like a horse she was forced to buy, ordering the staff to "burn off" my hair before locking me in the West Wing. I was thrown into a padded cell with a man who lunged at me, his heavy chains rattling against the floor as he roared with an animalistic rage that had already killed two nurses. They thought I was a pathetic, uneducated girl who "didn't read so good." They didn't know I had extorted two million dollars from my uncle before walking out the door, or that I was secretly recording every slap and insult they threw at me for future leverage. I huddled in the corner of that dark cell, letting them watch me tremble on the security feeds. I let Julian’s sister strike me with a riding crop and splash water in my face, playing the role of the clumsy, sobbing idiot to perfection. But the moment the cameras looped, the scared girl vanished. I pinned the "monster" to the floor, cut the neural tracking chip out of his neck with a hidden scalpel, and whispered into his ear as his blue eyes finally cleared. They thought they were sending a lamb to the slaughter. They had no idea they were sending a wolf to hunt a beast.
