Novel & Cerita After We Fell Book

And then we left him there. The countdown started. We ran. Past the cells, past the broken ghosts, through fire and falling metal. Up. Out. Into the night. The asylum exploded behind us, a blossom of fire and ash. The sky lit up like sunrise, swallowing the nightmare in flame. I fell to my knees, coughing, heart pounding. Aurora was beside me, gripping my hand, her face streaked with soot and tears. It was over. But peace didn't come easily. Because as the fire raged behind us, I realized something:

“You wouldn’t have heard of it. It’s strictly between heaven, hell and the fallen.” “What’s a fallen?” “It’s someone who used to be an angel in a past life. When they’re resurrected, they’re identified by a specific birth mark. You, my dear, are one of the fallen. You should have a birth mark that’s shaped like a star. It’s in different places for different individuals but your parents found yours on your hipbone.” What the hell. This is way too much information that I wasn’t expecting. I’m essentially in the middle of a holy war, if what she’s saying is the truth.

Jaz POV The Moon Valley Pack is located a few miles from the Pacific Ocean and between two large mountains that separate us from the rest of the world. When you sit on the cliff that is not too far from the pack. You can see the Ocean and then you can look up and see the moon. I came across the cliff when I was 17 while on my nightly run at 11. Ever since Alpha Jax, Bata James, and Sam found me they brought me back to the pack. They gave me 2 weeks to heal and pass every test that the doctors gave to me. Then they began training me to be the best of the best. Fist they wanted to learn everything about me. From where I came from, what happened to me and of course I could tell them anything be

AVA’S POV Fear, unlike anything I’ve ever experienced made my skin crawl and my heart lodged in my throat. Vincenzo pulled the trigger. He did. He wanted to have me killed, wasn’t that his intention? But why was I still alive? Why was I hearing the sound of my heartbeat drumming in my ears, loud and clear? I was lost in trance, lost in a world of my own with the sound of my heartbeat the only thing I could hear and feel.

"They're driving us east." "Who the devil are they?" I shouted. He didn't answer; instead, he kept moving, low and fast, hand locked with mine. We take cover through the hedge maze, turning, running, doubling back as the mansion behind us is engulfed in flames. We didn't stop until we broke through the last hedge and into the thick forest that night. And then we were falling. I fell, rolled, tumbling down an embankment, the ground slick and icy. My shoulder hit a rock. Cassian landed beside me with a grunt.

The cold bit through my clothes. We reached the cliff. “No—!” I gasped. “Let go—” I dug my heels in. The earth gave way and the edge crumbled. I was falling— And then— Caught. Vael’s arm slammed around my waist, yanking me back. His chest struck my spine. We staggered as the wind howled around us. His breath grazed my ear. “You reckless, gods-damned—” The ground broke beneath us as we fell. ——

We went through the window together — glass exploding outward, cold night air rushing in, the ground-floor drop suddenly not a drop at all but a three-story plummet that I registered a half-second too late— We fell. Vivian screamed. I didn’t. The world rotated — building, sky, building, sky — and in the half-second before impact I looked up and found the moon. Full. Bright. Beautiful. Kael, I thought. Then the ground arrived.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I had to finish this. "We’re going!" I shouted. I grabbed Silas’s hand with one arm and held Elle tight with the other. We jumped into the dark pit. The fall felt different this time. It wasn't cold. It felt like walking through a warm, golden rain. The black ink on my skin washed away. The wounds on my shoulder stopped hurting. For a heartbeat, I felt like I was back in the real world the one before the lab, before the Board, before the stories. Then, we hit the floor.

The fracture shattered. We fell upward, through the alley, into light. The dawn was clean, the sky blue, the city silent. The ticket was gone. The vein was gone. The loop was broken. We collapsed—Alexander’s arms around me, Mamá’s hand in mine, Marco’s head on my shoulder, Lila’s grip on Rosa, Rosa’s machete halves clattering. The sirens were gone. The fracture sealed. I laughed, tears streaming. “We did it.” Alexander kissed me, blood and ash. “Forever.”

It felt eternal. The sun dipped low, casting long shadows across the campus. They walked hand in hand, hearts lighter, spirits soaring. Their journey hadn’t been easy, but it had been theirs. Every kiss, every tear, every heartbreak had led to this: a love built on trust, forgiveness, and the courage to begin again. And as they reached the corner where it had all started, Nora whispered, “I never imagined falling could feel like this.” Jaden smiled, brushing a stray curl from her face. “Neither did I,” he admitted. “But now I can’t imagine anything else.”
