After The Altar Falls Novels & Stories

She took a moment to realize we arrive and she did not waste time to open the door oblivious to our entwined hands. She stopped abruptly looking at our hands, shock visible on her face and I borrowed the same expression. With a flushed face, Bella pulled out her hand stalking out of the car leaving me to wake up Dylan who dozed off somewhere in the ride. Bella's POV Leo caught up to me easily as I climbed the stairs slowly trying not to trip over myself. Why does this goddamned church have so many stairs. Right now I was on the twentieth stair trying to calm my uneven breathing.

laughter. "The Board wanted a reset? Fine. We’re resetting everything back to the beginning. Back to the mud. Enjoy the fall, High Queen." The Apex Garden begins to break away from the Spire, plummeting toward the Antarctic ice below. Zora looks at Dante as they fall. "Hold her!" she screams.

“We are gathered here today before the goddess to unite Alpha Victor Cain and Faith Collins.” My head shook back and forth as my chin wobbled. When I pictured my death, this wasn’t how I had pictured it, but I could see it so clearly now. I was too weak to survive long, and as Ryan began the ceremony, I began to consider what I would find in the afterlife. The sound of the double doors being thrown open and slamming into the walls made me jump, and several wolves began to growl before ducking to cover their loved ones as all the windows on both sides of the chapel shattered, raining shards of glass down on the guests.

After lunch they were ready to leave but Leo took Uncle Albert and now, they are left waiting for him. ******** Aunt Grace closed the door and climbed down the stairs darting around the place. When Ana fell asleep in the middle of the conversation so she decides to go and search for her husband who hadn't returned yet. She had just put her one foot on the last stairs when Uncle Albert and Leonardo along with Victor tailing behind, saunters inside through the main entrance. A sigh of relief passed through her. “Grace, come her.” Albert called and she nodded her head and approached them. Everyone sat down on the couch.

On the day of my wedding, I accidentally oversleep by six hours. By the time I rush to the venue, my fiance, Jared Marshall, has already gone through the entire ceremony with his first love. He looks at my sweat-drenched face and just smiles and comes clean. "I'm the one who drugged you. Amber wanted a wedding, and it's no big deal, so I gave her one." As if worried I might cause a scene, he adds casually, "Be good, and I'll take you to get our marriage license next week. Besides, making a fuss now won't change anything. "Look, the wedding dress isn't even your size." My gaze settles calmly on the bride, who is wearing the gown I've spent nearly half a year choosing. Everyone holds the

“–the body was discovered early this morning in what authorities are calling an execution-style killing. The victim, identified only as an unnamed male, was found with–” My free ear betrayed me. The news anchor’s voice blared loud enough for Elian to catch it. “Interesting choice of in-flight entertainment,” he commented, his brows raising slightly as he sipped his drink after he passed mine. “It’s fine journalism,” I replied, fumbling with the volume and cursing my clumsiness. But then, the screen showed a blurred image of the body in a dark alley, blood pooling around twisted limbs, and my stomach dropped. The ankle. The tattoo.

'Kalias', she thought and for some reason, she didn’t feel relieved but worried. With an impulse she got up from the bed, took the first thing she saw in front of her - an old yellowish shirt -, and dressed. Her feet, hands and body - seemed to scream for her to lie down, but still, Alice threw herself against the window, against that damn tree and fell down - only to face a depressing version of Kalias, a version fallen to the ground, bleeding with absurdly deep cuts that lacerated his chest. "Did you think you could hide here forever?" A being who seemed to have been trying to force a transformation even without the moon, growled. He had part of his arms transformed, his fangs were too big

Blake slowly made his way to the front where the pyre was. As the Alpha, it was time for him to address his pack. The crowd immediately quietened down as soon as they saw him standing there. You could hear a pin drop. Blake cleared his throat and began. “Today is a very sad day, for today we say goodbye to one of our own. Jax was the bravest man I’ve ever known. I trusted him with my life and knew that he always had my back, both in war and in friendship. Today is difficult for all of us, especially those who trained closely with him, but we need to rejoice for he is now with Mother Moon. And she is blessed to have him join her ranks.” Blake looked down at Amelia and she looked like a fragil

Nova asked, pouring some chamomile scented tea into her teacup, sipping slowly. “He said… H-he said they were sent to Aturion.” “Aturion? Where is that? Are we allowed to see them?” Her eyes gleamed brightly, making me burst into tears. “No! Aturion is the afterlife!” I cried out, watching her teacup slip from her hand and landing on the green grass, broken. “So.i-in simple terms, t-they were-” “Killed.” I finished for her. Her eyes turned glossy as she bit her lip, trying to hold the tears back.

He continued to pull me further away from the hospital until we found a small park just close by. There was a blanket spread out over the grass under a huge tree with a bag on it. "Surprise," he said, "I know it's not much but I can't exactly take you anywhere far from the hospital considering your condition," he said sheepishly as we both sat down. "It's still perfect," I answered. "I really missed the Sun," I smiled. "Anything is seriously better than being stuck in that hospital room." Nick chuckled, "I thought you'd say something like that. Hence I made it even perfect by getting you this," he said and removed the whole Fallen boxset from the bag.
