Scars of the Heart Chapter 40
The morning after the call was strangely normal. Too normal. The penthouse smelled of brewed coffee and warm pastries. You can hear Sophie’s laughter coming from the living room, where she and Rose sat cross-legged on the floor, trading crayons and sketching castles across wide sheets of paper. Their drawings were crooked, but full of bright flags and open gates. For Elena, it was the first sound in weeks that didn’t carry the edges of fear. She leaned against the kitchen counter with her arms folded, watching them. Rose’s head tilted toward Sophie like a mirror following its source. Yet, unlike the eerie reflection she had first been, Rose was changing and gaining her own quirks, her own light. Sophie nudged her with a crayon. “Yours needs a tower.” Rose stuck her tongue out. “Yours needs windows.” Both girls burst into giggles. Grayson appeared beside Elena, still adjusting the cufflinks on his charcoal suit. “They’re getting along.” Elena arched a brow. “Were you
Scars of the Heart Chapter 39
The morning after felt unreal. The penthouse was too quiet. Sunlight spilled across marble floors. Elena stood by the window of her bedroom with her arms folded, staring at the skyline that seemed both familiar and foreign. The city buzzed with life below, but her own veins ached with exhaustion. Behind her, the bed creaked. Grayson stirred, his sling set aside, leaving his broad shoulders bare. His voice was rough, tired, but softer than she remembered. “You’ve been up since dawn.” “I couldn’t sleep,” Elena admitted, her reflection fractured in the glass. “Every time I closed my eyes, I heard his voice again.” Grayson sat up slowly, watching her silhouette. “Enoch.” She flinched at the name. “It wasn’t possible. And yet—” “—and yet we both heard him,” Grayson finished. He scrubbed a hand down his face. “We’ll figure it out. But right now, you need to breathe.” Elena turned, arching a brow. “Since when do you tell me to breathe?” “Since I realized I can’t lose you aga
Scars of the Heart Chapter 38
The convoy rolled through the city like ghosts. The windows of the black cars reflected neon signs and skyscrapers glowing against the night. Elena Monroe pressed her forehead to the glass, watching the world move as if it belonged to someone else. After everything—after fire, after blood, after losing Enoch—the city was too clean. Too alive. Rose slept in her lap, fragile as porcelain, her fists knotted in Elena’s jacket. Every few minutes she twitched, murmuring broken words, and Elena tightened her hold. You’re safe now, she told herself. You’re safe, baby. Across from her, Grayson Wolfe sat slumped, his arm strapped in a sling, eyes shadowed by exhaustion. Damien rode beside him, a dark silhouette, unreadable as ever. Rosa leaned forward in the passenger seat, knife spinning idly between her fingers as if daring danger to show its face. For a long time, no one spoke. The silence was heavy. Finally Grayson exhaled. “We could’ve died back there.” Elena’s gaze flicked up
Scars of the Heart Chapter 37 – The Light Remembers
Elena’s ears rang with the sound of the wall collapsing, there were flames everywhere and the last shreds of Enoch’s scream echoing through the cavern. She coughed hard, forcing air into her lungs, pushing through dust and debris until light broke through the haze. “Elena!” Grayson desperately called out. He stumbled through the smoke, his shirt torn and his face bloody. His eyes lit up when he saw her. He quickly grabbed her and pulled her to her feet. “You’re alive. Thank God.” But Elena shoved him away. Her voice was hoarse, ragged with fury. “Where is she? Where’s Rose?” The answer came in a voice that sent chills down her spinem “You always come back for her.” Lucian Monroe stepped out of the smoke. His cloak already in shreds, and one side of his face was burned from Rose’s fire. His left eye burned gold, glowing like liquid fire. Beside him, Rose clung to his side, trembling. . The girl’s body glowed faintly, pulsing with energy that wasn’t hers. Her eyes shone l
Scars of the Heart Chapter 36 – Ashes of Trust
Then darkness. At first, Elena thought she was dead. She thought she was foating in a void with Rose’s touch still burning in her chest. But then came the sharp pain reminding her she was alive. Her lungs dragged in foul, metallic air. “Elena! Elena, breathe.” Grayson violently shook her shoulder. His face was covered with dust and blood trickling down from the side of his head, his eyes were wide with fear he was trying to bury. Elena coughed, rolling to her side. The chamber was now a ruin of broken stone and cracks. The beast stayed near the far wall, there was smoke curling around its body, held at bay for now by the weak, trembling light radiating from Enoch. “Elena.” Grayson’s voice was softer now. “Stay with me. Please.” She pushed up onto her elbows, glaring past him. “Where’s Rose?” Damien answered, gun raised. “She's gone. She disappeared when the blast hit. She took Monroe with her.” “No…” Elena’s chest tightened. The words tasted like ash. “I had her. I alm
Scars of the Heart Chapter 35 – Beneath the Ruin
The world fell out from under them. Elena screamed as she fell, the hallway above spinning with red lights and dust. She reached out to grab something, but there was nothing there but air. The crash was loud like thunder. Pain shot through her side as she hit the ground and rolled on the broken floor. The impact knocked the breath out of her lungs, leaving her gasping in the dark. “Elena!” A beam of weak light flickered somewhere on her left side. Enoch’s voice. He was coughing, dragging himself upright. She forced her head up. Through the dust, she saw Grayson holding his side and Damien limping toward the voices. Above them, rocks and rubble kept falling, sealing the hole in the ceiling. There was no way to climb out. The air was colder down here, damp and strange. Something about it just felt wrong. “is everyone okay? Everyone still breathing?” Grayson asked, his voice rough. “Barely,” Damien muttered. “My leg’s probably broken.” Elena turned toward the sound. “
