A River Runs Through It Audiobook Novels & Stories

“Run.” The word wasn’t shouted. It wasn’t even spoken aloud. It slid into Rio’s skull—cold, certain—and his body obeyed before his mind caught up. Branches whipped his face, slapping and scratching as he tore through the swamp. Mud sucked at his bare feet, thick and greedy, trying to pull him under with every desperate step. The air was hot, heavy, buzzing with insects that bit at the edges of his skin, their tiny stings almost lost beneath the pounding in his chest.

The eruption of briskly moving water cut through her raspy breaths as Rain realized they were nearing what had to be a large river in front of them. She imagined it had to be the River Red, but there was no capacity left in her lungs for words. Running at full speed for hours had taken away all conscious thought, all ability to speak or think or pray. The only thing she was capable of at the moment was putting one foot in front of the other as rapidly as humanly possible. And judging by the pain in her muscles and the spasming in her feet, that possibility was about to dry up.

The storm didn't end when the river took her; it just changed how it sounded. Aurek stayed on the bank long after the torches were put out. All that was left was rain and wreckage. The water below him was a monster, roaring as it swallowed everything in its path. His men yelled orders – search the river, send for riders, get healers – but he barely heard them. All he could hear was her running away, the soft sound of her dress against the stone, and a heartbeat that wasn't his.

she shouted over the sound of the running water and I let her advice sink into my brain. I let myself enjoy it. I could feel myself getting loose as I looked at the running water and the tiny fish swimming in it, glistening like pearls under the pale moonlight. The river winds through the forest, welcoming stray flora that comes its way. It was part of this place, integral to life, yet also a thing unto itself.

She took the opportunity to run away. Alexis instincts felt sharper with every footstep that led her to keep running there. Alexis focused herself and heard the sound of the river flowing within the forest area. Alexis didn't understand what was happening to her at all. Once again Alexis was just trying to follow that instinct that came out of nowhere. But when Alexis was near the river that flows very fast there, Alexis began to understand. That might just be one way that could take him away and away from Adrian. At least for now on. Srak

But I could still hear it, the sound it made as it rush down and hit the rocks. “We are near the river,” Sebastien whispered. We ran. We took off as fast as we could and the sound of the river as it streamed down grew louder and louder. We were getting near. Our feet stopped when it touched the wet river banks and the sound drummed in our ear. The moon cast a glow in the river that made it looked like crystals that flowed down. It looked iridescent and the light sparkled on its surface.

AQUA After River uttered those words, I drew in a deep breath, attempting to mask the rapid drumming of my heart. His gaze was filled with such sincerity and hope that, for a fleeting moment, I almost forgot all the reasons I was fighting him for. Guilt gnawed at my chest because I knew if it was under normal circumstances, I should have been over the moon for finding the man who was the perfect fit for my incomplete soul. Yet now, all I yearned for was to escape and never look back. I pushed down my wolf's protests and pressed firmly against his chest, channeling every ounce of strength I had, hoping he would relent. Surprisingly, River didn't resist my silent demand and shifted away from m

I kept walking, not even glancing back as she ran after me in tears. However, the bustling streets stood between us, and she could never get close again. Frank's gravestone lay in the countryside, where he once spent his happiest days. That was where he wanted to rest. I took the peace amulet that Frank used to wear and tucked it into my bag. As I got on the plane, I held onto the amulet tightly and drifted off to sleep. Frank was in my dream, just as I remembered him, with a smile on his face. He said, "Dad, thank you."

Venus sang. I melted right there. I was unable to move, unable to think. That voice of hers could melt a heart of ice. Then, my trance is suddenly broken. "Dear Goddess, I am the one who is so weak. It's bad enough I have to hear you sing it every morning through the walls but now I have to hear it in the kitchen for the road show." I laughed to myself at Aros whining.

He wrinkled his nose, looking at Jane, "You read this?" She sneered at him. "Gia read it to me, and I like it." "Surprise," he muttered ironically under his breath. "What did you say?" "Nothing," he grumbled, walking back to the bed and sitting on it. Now he was grateful his parents didn't have daughters, although his father wanted one; these people were pieces of hard work. "Ready?" She straightened her shoulders and nodded. He cleared his throat, opened the first page, and began, "On a mysterious island was a little girl. She was very adventurous," he raised a brow, "and her name was Alex...."
