Battle Hearts Novels & Stories

The only time my heartbeat should be heard should be when I'm with Sally, not all the time though when I'm all emotional around her. My heart beating right now was dangerous, it'd do no good in the war we were about to go for, and it would never help matters in any way. My heartbeat would be my weakness in any war, and if the enemy notices my heart was beating they would take advantage of it to win the battle.

Yang Tian-Xu needed a reason, any reason will do. “Even if you lie to me… I would still believe you. So please An-An… Say something…” A heart was a fragile organ in the human body. But what makes it beat wasn’t love, but blood. But what makes love beats? Could it be the brain? Emotions? But what stops love from beating? Hatred? Betrayal? Would his love began to bleed like a heart when it gets ripped out of his chest? Who can say that their hearts can still beat, when it was cut out and rip into pieces?

Rhea moved silently, her expression unreadable as she studied the shifting light. “Stay close,” Rhea instructed. “Once you step into the altar’s domain, there’s no turning back. The trials are designed to test not just your physical strength, but your will, your heart.” Lia’s chest tightened. **Her heart**. What did that mean? The glowing pulse from the Heart grew brighter still, casting long, distorted shadows across the cracked stone and broken columns that once held sacred significance. The ruins themselves seemed to lean in, the air thick with anticipation. The past, the present, and the future merged in this place—the gateway to a power older than the Empire itself.

He looked at the pulsing gray heart suspended in the center of the chamber, his amber eyes reflecting the decay. "Mommy, the quiet uncles... they're inside the heart. They're making it beat. Make them stop. Please. I want the warm back." "We're going to end the song, Leo. Hold onto me," I rasped. My heart thrummed a frantic, syncopated rhythm against his chest, a pulse that Kael's soul surely felt through the metal.

Heart by heart. With all my love, Kavira Hiraeth💜

Did he really thought he could win over me? “What a foolish wish you have to think that you could ever defeat me.” And I pulled out my hand, taking out his heart. But the feeling of the beating was different. I knew it because I had torn the hearts of many creatures and I could tell what I held wasn't a healthy heart.

“They will. And when they do, your world will burn.” He lifted his sword, and black fire coiled around the blade. Edward lunged again, his weapon meeting the Commander’s mid-swing. The explosion of force sent both of them flying backward. “Edward!” I screamed, running toward him. He hit the ground hard, blood on his lips but eyes still fierce. “Finish it,” he rasped. “Now.” The Commander turned toward me. Shadows surged from his hands, tendrils snaking toward my throat. I reached inside myself, deeper than before—past the fear, past the exhaustion—until I found the core of the Heart. The rhythm steadied, a living heartbeat beneath my own. It didn’t just burn anymore. It called.

The Heart adapted with every second—reshaping its form, countering attacks, shifting its structure to minimize damage. Kael’s voice cut through the chaos. “It’s not just reacting—it’s evolving in real time!” Raven deflected another strike. “Then we overwhelm it!” Lucian roared. “We hit it harder!” But Ethan’s voice came, calm— “No.” They paused—just for a second. And in that second— He saw it. “The Heart isn’t attacking randomly,” Ethan said. “It’s targeting fractures.” Kael froze. “…Weak points.” “Not in our defenses,” Ethan continued.

My heartbeat pounds like war drums and ghost claws to break free. It is time to show the little human exactly why she should not be here.

“ My patience has now paid off. I love you more, my love. I swear with all my life that I will make you happy and give you all. I will never betray you.” Danielle moved her face closer to him again. Their eyes were sparkling with full of love. There's no more hint of hatred nor jealousy in Anthony's eyes. Anthony bent his head to kiss her. Then, Anthony lifted her up and they turned around and around while their lips was tasting the sweetness of their kiss.
