The last survivor

Chapter I The sun was beating down on the dusty plains of the Sahara desert. A group of adventurers trudged through the sand, their faces covered in scarves to protect them from the relentless heat. They were on a mission to find the lost city of Zerzura, a fabled place said to be filled with treasure beyond belief. Leading the group was Jack, a seasoned explorer with a weathered face and piercing blue eyes. He had been searching for Zerzura for years, and he knew that he was getting close. Behind him were his companions, including his trusty sidekick, a burly man named Hank, and a beautiful archaeologist named Dr. Emily. As they walked, Jack scanned the horizon, looking for any sign of the lost city. Suddenly, he saw something that made his heart skip a beat. In the distance, he could see the outline of a massive stone structure, rising up from the sand like a mirage. "Look!" he shouted to his companions. "There it is! The lost city of Zerzura!" Excitement surged through the group as they quickened their pace, their eyes fixed on the distant structure. As they got closer, they could see that it was indeed a city, built from massive stone blocks that had been carved with incredible precision. The buildings were tall and ornate, with intricate carvings and gleaming gold accents. As they entered the city, they were amazed by what they saw. Everywhere they looked, there were treasures beyond their wildest dreams. There were rooms filled with gold and jewels, artifacts from ancient civilizations, and ancient texts that promised to reveal incredible secrets. But as they explored the city, they soon realized that they were not alone. There were other adventurers in Zerzura, and they were not friendly. Chapter II The group had barely begun their exploration of the city when they were ambushed by a band of ruthless treasure hunters. The attackers were heavily armed, and they had no qualms about using violence to get what they wanted. Jack and his companions fought bravely, but they were outnumbered and outgunned. Hank was shot in the arm, and Dr. Emily was taken hostage by the attackers. Jack knew that he had to act quickly if he wanted to save his friend. He gathered the remaining members of his group and set out to rescue Dr. Emily. They tracked the attackers to a hidden underground chamber, deep beneath the city. The chamber was filled with traps and puzzles, designed to keep intruders at bay. But Jack and his companions were determined to get through. With skill and ingenuity, they navigated the traps and solved the puzzles, inching closer and closer to their goal. Finally, they reached the heart of the chamber, where they found Dr. Emily, guarded by the attackers. A fierce battle broke out, with Jack and his companions fighting tooth and nail to free their friend. In the end, they emerged victorious, defeating the attackers and rescuing Dr. Emily. Chapter III With Dr. Emily safe, Jack and his companions continued their exploration of the city. They discovered an incredible network of tunnels and chambers, filled with secrets and treasures that had been hidden for centuries. But as they delved deeper into the city, they began to uncover a dark and sinister side to Zerzura. They found evidence of a long-forgotten civilization, one that had been destroyed by a terrible cataclysm. The survivors of that civilization had hidden themselves away in Zerzura, safeguarding their knowledge and technology for future generations. But they had also created a powerful weapon, one that had the potential to destroy the world if it fell into the wrong hands. Jack and his companions realized that they could not let this weapon be unleashed. They knew that they had to find it and destroy it before it was too late. Chapter IV The weapon was located in a hidden chamber deep beneath the city. To get there, Jack and his companions had to traverse a treacherous maze of tunnels and chambers, filled with deadly traps and puzzles. But they were determined to succeed. With grit and determination, they overcame the obstacles in their path, inching ever closer to their goal. Finally, they reached the chamber where the weapon was located. It was a massive machine, powered by a strange and otherworldly energy. Jack knew that he had to destroy it before it was too late. With a powerful explosion, the weapon was destroyed, and the threat to the world was eliminated. Jack and his companions emerged from the chamber, battered and bruised but victorious. Chapter V As they made their way out of the city, Jack and his companions were filled with a sense of awe and wonder at what they had accomplished. They had discovered the lost city of Zerzura, defeated a band of ruthless treasure hunters, rescued a friend, and saved the world from destruction. But they also knew that there were other adventures out there, waiting to be had. They had tasted the thrill of discovery and the rush of adventure, and they knew that they could n

Janice, the long-forgotten legitimate heiress, made her way back to her family, pouring her heart into winning their hearts. Yet, she had to relinquish her very identity, her academic credentials, and her creative works to her foster sister. In return for her sacrifices, she found no warmth, only deeper neglect. Resolute, Janice vowed to cut off all emotional bonds. Transformed, she now stood as a master of martial arts, adept in eight languages, an esteemed medical expert, and a celebrated designer. With newfound resolve, she declared, "From this day forward, no one in this family shall cross me."

Rachel used to think that her devotion would win Brian over one day, but she was proven wrong when his true love returned. Rachel had endured it all—from standing alone at the altar to dragging herself to the hospital for an emergency treatment. Everyone thought she was crazy to give up so much of herself for someone who didn’t return her feelings. But when Brian received news of Rachel’s terminal illness and realized she didn’t have long to live, he completely broke down. "I forbid you to die!" Rachel just smiled. She no longer needed him. "I will finally be free."

Elin spent twenty years deeply loving her husband, finally marrying him just as she'd always dreamed. But reality shattered her illusions—he wasn't the man she believed. Instead, he callously destroyed her family, crushing her heart beyond repair. At her lowest point, Ruben, equally betrayed that night, approached her steadily. "Marry me, Elin. I'll help you take revenge." Yet, after their wedding, she quickly discovered he was dangerously unpredictable. "I made a mistake. Let's divorce..." Ruben slid his arm possessively around her waist, whispering a chilling promise, "Only in death."

"Never let anyone treat you like shit!" I learned that the hard way. For three years, I lived with my in-laws. They didn't treat me as their son-in-law but as a slave. I put up with everything because of my wife, Yolanda Lambert. She was the light of my life. Unfortunately, my whole world came crashing down the day I caught my wife cheating on me. I have never been so heartbroken. To have my revenge, I revealed my true identity. I was none other than Liam Hoffman—the heir of a family with trillions of dollars in assets! The Lamberts were utterly shocked after the big reveal. They realized what fools they had been for treating me like trash. My wife even knelt down and begged for my forgiveness. What do you think I did? Did I take her back or made her suffer? Find out!

My name is Katia, and I am just trying to survive until my fated mate arrives. Which may be easier said than done. Rejectection is the last straw. Whispering my acceptance of his rejection. I run through the pack house, out across the manicured lawn into the forest. "I'm sorry, my sweet girl," I say to my wolf. I'm sorry you have been stuck with me and have had to suffer everything I have. She whispers," it's not your fault, Katia. We came to a cliff with a waterfall. The hurt keeps pounding at me. I need it to stop. My sweet girl, and I just want peace, I keep running and leap off the cliff. Spreading my arms wide, with tears streaming down my face, I fall, not making a sound, waiting for sweet oblivion where we feel nothing ever again. "I love you, my sweet girl! Until we meet again, "My wolf replied just before we hit the water, "I love you too, Katia. I have never regretted a moment with you." The Snow Moon pack is having their last barbecue of the summer next to the waterfall on their land. The adults are laughing and joking while watching the pups play. The alpha, beta, and gamma are swimming with some of the older children and playing a game of Marco Polo. Someone yells, "Oh my goddess, someone just jumped over the waterfall!" Everyone is frozen as they watch what looks to be a child falling arms spread wide, no one makes a sound. The small body hits the water like a plane crashing into the side of a mountain. The alpha, beta, and gamma, spring into action, swimming towards the area the person went under. The alpha is screaming his wolf is going crazy repeating, "Find her. Find her...find her!" They dive and the beta surfaces with a small person in his arms. Alpha takes the girl from his beta, laying her on the ground. The men are shocked by what they see. She is covered in scars and injuries. Her body is twisted and broken. The Beta asks, "Who could have done this to someone so defenseless?" Alpha drops to his knees, repeating, "MATE...MATE...MATE!"

Marriage was a bed of thorns for Stella. She lived like an overworked and unhappy slave for six years in her matrimonial home. One day, her uncaring husband, Waylon said to her, "Ayla will be back soon. You have to move out tomorrow." "I want a divorce," responded Stella. She left without shedding a tear or trying to change Waylon's stone-cold heart. Days after their divorce, they met again. Stella was in the arms of another man. Waylon's blood boiled at the sight of her looking so happy. "So, you couldn't even wait a while before jumping into another man's arms?" he queried distastefully. "And who are you to question my decision? It's my life, so I call the shots. Stay out of my business!" Stella fired at him before turning to look at her new man with shiny eyes. Waylon immediately lost it.
