Novel & Cerita Betray Songbird Or Reed

"You lost the right to speak on what I was the moment you betrayed me with Sherry. The moment you looked me in the eye and told me to sign those papers while she stood beside you rubbing that belly of hers, claiming she's carrying your child.” His jaw tensed, the truth slicing through whatever fantasy he’d built in his head. "They’re mine..." He said, almost to himself. "The boy… he looked right through me." "And you looked away, didn’t you?" I asked, standing slowly. "Because deep down, you knew. But you didn’t want to believe I moved on — that I had something better, even after everything you broke in me." Lyon stepped closer. "You should’ve told me." He muttered, his voice barely above a

Reed was in the thick of it. He moved like a storm, a whirlwind of steel and firepower. His twin daggers gleamed under the moonlight, slick with blood as they plunged into enemy bodies. When the blades couldn’t reach, he drew his shotgun—BOOM! A head snapped back, silver bullets shredding through the werewolf’s skull. He was precise. Efficient. Deadly. Yet, he still hadn’t shifted. Because he had made a promise. His wolf snarled within him, begging to be released, but Reed held firm. He had promised Eliana he would be there when she shifted. He wouldn’t break that vow—not now, not ever.

The heat from the fire touched me, I miraculously suppressed the urge to retreat. And then a song poured from the back rows in a wave. They picked her up and the closer they stood, the louder they began to sing. This dialect was not familiar to me, I did not know the words, but I understood the meaning. Farewell song. Piercing and chilling blood in the veins. A deep voice to my right picked up the song. I held my breath as I listened to Reed's song. It seemed that he was singing the same thing, but also about something else. Somehow, with the same words, everyone put their own meaning. It was not a perfect chorus, many broke down, many swallowed the words along with tears, Reed's voice turne

" Ian still had on the same silver-gray suit from before, but it was now stained and filthy. His hair was a mess, and his eyes were bloodshot. Honestly, if Ian had paid even the slightest attention to the answers he copied onto his own answer sheets, he would've noticed something was wrong much sooner. Unfortunately, he trusted Shirley too much, just like I had trusted her in my previous life. "Ian, trust me! Repeat the year next year, and I promise I'll help you get into Alpheno College! If not next year, then the year after!" The moment Shirley repeated the exact same words she once told me, something inside Ian finally snapped.

Where she dreams. Reed’s chest heaves. His eyes gloss with terror. But the words don’t come. Reed sobers into a small, animal sound. “No. Please, I swear—” “You swore once already,” Wade says. He curves the edge of a phrase like a blade. “And your oath did not keep the truth from me. That lesson must have been costly.”

Were my feelings changing, or was I losing it? Reed and Cole stepped out from the shadows where they’d been hiding, listening like the sneaky bastards they were. Reed crossed his arms, looking pissed but also turned on. “You almost let it slip, man. She was this close to figuring out we’re just using her to break the curse.”

Perhaps it was the tremors running across my skin, or the half-flinches that jolted through my leg muscles every time I thought Falmer’s hand was about to descend upon my cut, but he seemed to understand, without words, that I needed something to take my mind off it. “Okay,” he said, and I felt rather than saw him settling back on his heels. “How about the story of the Songbird?” “Sounds good,” I said, through gritted teeth. My brow was knotted with concentration as I stared out of the window. The sun was beginning to rise; though it was masked by the thick, oppressive cloud cover, the edges of the sky were beginning to lighten, the deep grey turning silver and, in places, pale pink. “There

My eyes burned, but I wasn’t going to cry over a demon. “But you trusted him!” Mouth yelled, and his voice echoed in the room. Even the shadow had gone silent, listening. “You trusted Reed, and what did he do? He can’t even tell you!” “I’m warning you,” Reed Taylor said to Mouth. Mouth roared and screamed a word I didn’t understand. It wasn’t of this world.

I glanced at Raphael, seeing the same conflict mirrored in his eyes. "We’ll listen," I said finally. "But if you betray us…" Victor’s smile disappeared, his expression deadly serious. "I won’t. You have my word." It wasn’t much, but it was all we had. For Fiona’s sake, I had to hope it would be enough.

The heart's song wasn't a weapon; it was a *mourning*. Rhydian collapsed, the heart's light now fused with his scar. "It's a memory," he gasped. "The goddess wants us to *remember*. Not just the Betrayal... but what came before." The Keeper bowed her head. *"The song was never yours to control. It is a requiem. To heal, you must listen."*
