Blacktie Breaks Novels & Stories

His breathing deepened, evening out. I let out a breath I didn’t know I’d been holding, a long, shaky sigh. Four hours. Four hours of fighting. Caius spoke, his voice quiet. "He's going to be fine."

Or maybe a missing tooth, a bruised face, a broken nose, a broken jaw. Or maybe just enough damage to remind him that certain words were better left unspoken. Wild imaginations ran through my head as I slowly let out a quiet laugh, my fingers flexing slightly on the handle as I kept riding forward. Now, there were two people on my black list. The red–haired and the anonymous bastard. He had dared to send Aaron a note and drag him into whatever sick game he was playing. My eyes narrowed slightly beneath the helmet. I wasn’t going to let that slide.

I tried to imagine what it must have been like for him to stand beside his wife watching her trying to heal a broken soul and losing herself along the way. “I don't know what happened with you guys, I just know that all this hurt and anger she has is not from today. So, fix this shit. Fix what you did and maybe she can move on with everything else. You've been such a jerk all this time and I swear if you ever hurt her again I will end you Ethan, I swear I will end you," Tom was clinking his glass so hard that it might break. He looked at me with frightening eyes and I knew that he would keep that promise if he had to. He had always been loyal and had become a man willing to do anything for h

I stared at the broken pieces on the floor, my mind going blank. Susan shrieked and took a step back. Jason swiftly grabbed Susan's hand and anxiously checked the back of her hand and her calves. "Did you get cut by the shards? Does it hurt?" He was finally relieved after making sure that Susan wasn't hurt. He turned around and stared at me, frozen in place, my face pale.

Then another. I tore my tie off and threw it across the room. I kicked the coffee table over. The glass shattered, but it didn’t satisfy me. I stood in front of the mirror. My face was pale. My lips trembled. “How did it all go to shit?” I whispered. The TV was still playing. News had already hit the press. ETHAN GRAYSON REMOVED FROM GRAYSON EMPIRES. INVESTIGATION UNDERWAY. I picked up the remote and hurled it. The screen cracked.

Ace answers and quickly glances over to her. “I see.. did she also tell you about what happens if Blair dies. Did she tell you that?” “Yeah, the mate bond will no longer be an issue.” “So she didn’t tell you that if Blair dies or our bond breaks, my other wolf will be dominant.” “ What do you mean, babe?” If you force the mate bond between us to break, my other wolf will be dominant. That would be Lily. I feel her stir with the betrayal of Micki,

Time flew by. Before I knew it, winter break had arrived. Since it coincided with the anniversary of Grandma's passing, I made a trip back to Jethroville. The dry, cold wind stung my face. I knelt before Grandma's headstone and carefully set down a bouquet of fresh white lilies. My fingertips brushed across the ice-cold stone surface as I said, "Grandma, I earned a full first-class scholarship this semester. You don't have to worry about me. I'm doing really well."

Blackie, who always had one eye on his host’s future husband, nearly coughed up blood at the spot seeing the message the dolt had just sent to his fiancée: "The engagement is off. I won't marry you. From this moment on, we are over and done in all ways possible. P.S. I'm changing the bride of the arranged marriage to your brother." ‘Oh, my god!! 😱 This retard!!
