Aidan Gallagher Younger Novels & Stories

I felt a chill run down my spine. --- They were only fifteen. Too young for this war. Too young to have seen their sister collapse in a storm of divine fire, too young to watch grown men cry in hallways and pretend it was dust in their eyes. But grief made all of us older. “I want to help,” Aiden said. “We want to help.” I looked at them both twins in body, but different in soul. Aiden had quiet strength, clenched fists and silent tears. Ariana was wild, light and flame-touched eyes, impulsive and honest in the ways Azaria used to be before the world made her careful.

Harrion murmured, those calculating eyes of his studying Kaida with new interest. Dalia went next, and I had to resist the urge to groan when she practically purred, "Caden Gallen." Of course she did. Caden's prideful smile made my stomach churn as I recalled our last private encounter (him being his usual delightful, threatening self... no big deal). He sent her a wink that made my stomach churn uneasily. "Ugh," I shivered as he gave me the heebie-jeebies. Gretchen chose Finn from Stonewell, and knowing Gretchen, she was probably making a safe, political choice that would serve her well. Kai selected Lyra from Ironhold, a quiet girl I barely knew.

Aiden proceeded in front of her to lead the small group so that they did not fall into natural wooded traps. Sometimes Taryn forgot that her brave knight had spent the first years of his life traveling. He knew almost all the places of Mihdel, the customs, and customs of every kingdom. Aiden had traveled far and wide with his father before they were instructed by Taryn’s late mother to care for and protect the queen. Her brave knight was almost ten years old when they began to run from one side of the North with a newborn to protect from the murderers of her uncle.

It’s scary and daunting, but my parents have been preparing me all my life, and I feel like I am ready to lift the legacy. My siblings and cousins have always been my closest friends and confidants. Aiden being my Beta and Milo being my Gamma. He shares a lot of his responsibilities with his little brother Adam, who is a formidable diplomat. Milo and Adam found their mates at 18. Milo turned out to be mated to Dalia, who in turn became the Gamma female of the pack, and Adam was mated to Lillith. She had been traveling since just after her own 18th birthday, and came home on the day where Adam turned. They instantly accepted each other, and I could not be happier for them. Aiden found his mat

i sit down and busy myself with my work. i was just about to call back another company who had asked for an appointment, when I am interrupted. "You must ne Gale." A voicded says and my head snaps upwards. It's Airah Fosters. Aidan's sister. i smile. "The one and only!" I grin. "You must be Airah. Congratulations on your wedding!" I smile and stand up to work over to her. The resemblance between the Johnsons siblings is undeniable. Airah is a female version of Aidan. She is shorter though, and more petite, while Aidan is more well built and towers over me. Her blue eyes match the sky, while Aidan's match the ocean on a cleaar day.

Meyer thoughtfully considers Aiden's words before saying, "It is possible that she feels threatened when someone is standing behind her, unaware of their intentions. A similar incident occurred once before since her admission, when she was unaware of the person behind her. This could be another manifestation of a past traumatic experience that contributed to her current condition. Although her awareness is not fully intact, her mental state appears to be active, and her body is responding to perceived threats." "She had been attacked from behind," Aiden deduces from the doctor's account, bracing one hand on his hip. He glances sharply at his mother, a sigh escaping him. "We should let her re

Aiden smiled at her last words which came out as barely a whisper and decided to answer his own questions. “I have no siblings either, I grew up in a… community, called Blue Lake, just outside of Wakerton. I took over the family business when I turned 22. It was a lot of work and some thought I wasn’t ready yet, but I have worked hard to gain their trust and show them I am. My whole life was spent being groomed to take over, I haven’t had time for much of anything else. My mom and dad had me a bit later in life, so they were ready to step down and enjoy retirement.” Aiden told her as truthfully as he could manage. At that moment Jax marched in with the food. “Honey I’m back!” He yelled from

“I turned eighteen three months ago right before you came to live with us and Mom threw me a small birthday party.” Maya’s eyes widened as she absorbed this information and realized the implications of what he had just told her. “I’m twenty four years old Aiden,” she said slowly and clearly. “There’s a six year difference between us and that makes what you just said very complicated.” Aiden’s mouth hung open in complete surprise as he stared at her with disbelief written across his features. “Twenty four?” he repeated as if he couldn’t quite believe what he was hearing. “But you look like you’re the same age as me or maybe even younger than me.”

I’m not sure I’m ready to open it up completely yet. Aiden’s friends sounds like a nice group with some interesting personalities in it, but they also sound desperately young. When I mention that, Aiden goes quiet and them confesses that he hadn’t even thought about it. His people grow up fast. He fought in his first battle when he was fifteen.

Said Aiden leading me toward the sofa. I couldn't help but laugh and blush throughout the time with him. We sat and talked. Aiden was amazing; he was thirteen years old, a warrior scholarship recipient, played basketball, tennis and football and was super smart as well. I could easily hold a conversation about the stuff I learned from my scholar scholarship with him. What seemed like minutes turned into two hours, and we didn't even realize it until I heard auntie Meg call me, which had Aiden and me both get-up. "Well, cupcake looks like you got to go. I look forward to hanging out with you for the next few years but make no mistake; I'll be whooping your bum every chance I get during sparin
