Sanguine Prince | Chapter 18: Merciless (Second Draft)

“I’m not a Prince,” Arcturus said into the silence with a growing sense of incredulity. “I figured out while you were all talking that my father was probably Terran, which, by the way, is still taking me a while to process. It’s easy to acknowledge this entire nightmare is real...

“Alright, back to it.”

Arcturus deliberately refocused on the task at hand, eyes once more locked on the primary attributes that defined the essence of his being with their deceptively simple mathematical values. If he focused on any of them hard enough, he would receive a list of hypot...

Sanguine Prince | Chapter 14: Serenity (Second Draft)

Arcturus’ eyes opened to the familiar sight of his room on Earth, his mind once again submerged into the deepest recesses of his subconscious.

Arcturus’ gaze remained locked on his helpless foe, a dark thrill surging through him.

He knew this wasn’t the man who’d killed Angela, thanks to context clues, and yet he couldn’t bring himself to care. Holding the intruder in a crushing vise of telekinetic force, seeing the strugg...
