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.

Marrying My Runaway Groom's Powerful Father

I was sitting in the Presidential Suite of The Pierre, wearing a Vera Wang gown worth more than most people earn in a decade. It was supposed to be the wedding of the century, the final move to merge two of Manhattan's most powerful empires. Then my phone buzzed. It was an Instagram Story from my fiancĂ©, Jameson. He was at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris with a caption that read: "Fuck the chains. Chasing freedom." He hadn't just gotten cold feet; he had abandoned me at the altar to run across the world. My father didn't come in to comfort me. He burst through the door roaring about a lost acquisition deal, telling me the Holland Group would strip our family for parts if the ceremony didn't happen by noon. My stepmother wailed about us becoming the laughingstock of the Upper East Side. The Holland PR director even suggested I fake a "panic attack" to make myself look weak and sympathetic to save their stock price. Then Jameson’s sleazy cousin, Pierce, walked in with a lopsided grin, offering to "step in" and marry me just to get his hands on my assets. I looked at them and realized I wasn't a daughter or a bride to anyone in that room. I was a failed asset, a bouncing check, a girl whose own father told her to go to Paris and "beg" the man who had just publicly humiliated her. The girl who wanted to be loved died in that mirror. I realized that if I was going to be sold to save a merger, I was going to sell myself to the one who actually controlled the money. I marched past my parents and walked straight into the VIP holding room. I looked the most powerful man in the room—Jameson’s cold, ruthless uncle, Fletcher Holland—dead in the eye and threw the iPad on the table. "Jameson is gone," I said, my voice as hard as stone. "Marry me instead."
