Autumn The Matchmaker Novels & Stories

The ninth time Julian Hale chose Vivian Cross over me, I held a knife to Vivian's throat and made her beg for forgiveness in the middle of a crowded downtown plaza. I thought that would finally be enough to end the affair. Instead, Julian made me pay for hurting her. He went after my father's company and destroyed it, leaving my family broke and buried in debt to loan sharks. In the end, my father, Martin Ellison, couldn't take it anymore. He swallowed an entire bottle of pills beside my mother, Diane Ellison. The shock was too much for her heart, and she died soon after. I lost both my parents in a single day. The day after the funerals, the doctor gave me more bad news. I had late-stage st

"Look, Chelsea, you know how I always follow my instinct and do whatever crazy thing it tells me, this is one of them. I woke up one morning and boom! Eleven years is complete. I sat down and thought, how do I find him? Time to make up for my promise. I didn't even get his name or see his face that clearly since it was messed up and freaking da—" "Are you talking about the alleyway guy?" She gave me a 'duh' look. Autumn told me she met this alley guy years ago, made a bet with him by instinct, and was going to keep it. "You are still hung up on that guy?" "I am not hung up, I made a promise. After meditating, my instinct said to come to live here and get a job as a diner girl, that's it. He

“Basically, the locket itself will be used as the measurement for ‘intimacy’ the two fated people has. Now look, you see that man there? He has a perfect score of 30 points. That’s the highest intimacy point. But look at the man at the counter, he has 0. Now, what you need to do is add intimacy points to the man on the counter to balance the amount of intimacy both parties have. When level 30 is achieved on both sides, the confession and happy ever after will take place.” Strangely, I’ve been hearing this nonsense from a talking cat for a while now. I should be running. Yet, right now, I’m strangely calm. I understood what the cat is trying to say. I swallowed the lump in my throat and begin

Eight years after I broke up with Greyson Tromp, we met in the hospital. He brought his wife for a prenatal checkup and happened to have their consultation with me. I wore a mask and carefully examined the condition of her baby. The intern beside us asked how they ended up together. Elise Jacob said smugly, "You have to fight for a handsome guy. To get the best, you have to fight for it! He used to like someone else. To win his heart, I stirred up trouble between them, causing them to misunderstand each other and gradually drift apart.

They both looked each other with scared expressions and handover me white envelope. " What's that?" I opened the envelope and saw three pictures of Autumn. She was kidnapped by Victor. I trun the photograph and read his massage. " If you want to see your love alive than follow my command and if you deny it than you will see dead body of beloved Autumn, wait for my second massage."

“I was certain you were someone who made things. This is incredible. Is the pumpkin made from a zinnia?” “Yes, it is. I should have known you’d recognize it.” Apparently, our equally obsessive interest in crafts suited each other rather well. We were two adults old enough to know better, enthusiastically praising one another’s work. But there was no one there to see us, so it did not matter. “Would you like to come inside? I’ll make some hot tea.” “Then I’ll accept.” When Mr. Sasagawa opened the door, Ro rose at once, as though he had been waiting for us.

"You'll find out when we get there. Go get ready and make yourself look good." Frowning, Marcus voiced his concern, "You're not planning to take me to a matchmaking event, are you? I'm not interested." Yaslyn reassured, "No, relax. It's not a matchmaking event." 'I'm the one arranging a match for you,' she thought to herself. After receiving such a generous gift from Xoan the previous night, Marcus was willing to go along, although he found the situation a bit odd. Taking Yaslyn's advice, Marcus freshened up. He put on casual gray attire and a dash of cologne, enhancing his already charismatic appearance. Pleased with her handiwork, Yaslyn and Xoan took Marcus to the Stewart family home.

“They were glowing, Autumn. Silver. And not in the Veilwalker way. In the hollowed-out way.” She looked down. “I met someone.” His face contorted in disbelief, a mix of anger and confusion twisting his features. “In the Hollow?” “A soul merchant. Luma,” Autumn replied, her voice steady but her hands trembling as they gripped the coin with an intensity that betrayed her anxiety. Tristan's jaw clenched, his expression darkening like a storm cloud. “That’s impossible. Luma’s been dead since—” “Then her soul survived,” Autumn interjected, rising defiantly to her feet. She lifted the shimmering coin, light glinting off its surface like a beacon in the dim room.

“Together we would hunt you down to the end of the earth if that’s what it would take to find you and get you away from those hunters.” I felt overwhelmed by their love pouring through our bond, so I did the only thing I could think of. I switched into Artemis and ran off. 'Come and catch me, boys.' Both switched and followed me through the woods that looked nothing like the charred remains they used to be when I first got here. It had grown into a beautiful forest with new trees that would be strong enough to grow for decades to come. Raiden growled lowly and looked at Zev, 'it's time to hunt for our mate. Whoever finds her first gets to taste her…'

There was so much to do. She was working furiously to sew a dress, this one for Hester Pineyfrock in a dark shade of green, Pozzletot watching and chirping his disapproval at her pace from time to time when a knock at the door caught her attention. In fact, by the time the knocking finally registered, she realized it was not the first knock. She had grown quite accustom to Maevis knocking and then letting herself in so that she no longer seemed to notice the knock. This was different, however. It wasn’t Maevis’s gentle rapping to announce her presence; rather this was a knock with a purpose, and Serendipity couldn’t help but feel both startled and alarmed at its existence.
