Breath Mints And Battle Scars Epub Novels & Stories

Stripping down to just my sports bra and compression shorts, I took a moment to study myself in the full-length mirror. The bruises and cuts from my last sparring session were still fading across my toned abdomen. My knuckles were scabbed over, permanent reminders of the price this dream extracts. Slowly trailing my fingers over the discolored marks, I felt a surge of fierce pride. These weren't blemishes to be ashamed of - they were warpaint. Gritting my teeth, I forcefully shoved away the memories of Miles sneering at my "unfeminine" battle scars, his cruel words echoing like arrows bent on sapping my resolve. Not today. Today, I would embrace the evidence of my indomitable spirit fully.

“Then let’s make sure our final breath is a scream, not a whisper.” As the first rays of sunlight broke free from the night, a roar rose from the depths — not of fear, but of defiance. The battle was far from over. But whatever came next, they would face it together, unbroken. The dawn crept slowly, reluctant to show its full face over the scarred land. The valley below was littered with the remnants of the past: broken weapons, fallen banners, and the silent echoes of those who had given everything to reach this point. Kael’s breath was steady but shallow, each inhale a reminder of how fragile this moment was.

The void-energy drips, pooling faintly dark around my boots. Okay. Okay. Deep breath that feels like swallowing glass. It bought us seconds. Maybe. Eira’s still here. Still fighting inside. Kieran’s whisper echoes. Make noise.So I grit my teeth, taste blood and something like cold starlight, and brace against the bulkhead. The scars shriek silent agony.

The air inside his chest seemed to have been sucked out by him, Sweet Pea was breathing hard, her cheeks were not sure whether because of lack of oxygen or because of being kissed by him, but Sweet Pea couldn't stand it anymore. With both hands pounding on his chest, Brene Brian was clearly still unsatisfied, but fortunately he still had a bit of humanity left, letting her go, Sweet Pea was freed, hastily sniffed to In contrast, Brene Brian was beside her, her breathing was very calm, her face was not red, her heart was not beating fast, her eyes were cold.

So many scars. My breath caught. They littered every inch of his back—long jagged ones that slashed across his pale skin like old battle wounds, short rounded ones like healed-over bullet holes or burns, and thin, razor-fine lines that shimmered slightly beneath the overhead light. There wasn’t a single stretch of untouched skin. His entire back told a story, one I wasn’t sure I was ready to hear. “Are you—” I started, but stopped abruptly. My throat tightened. “I thought… maybe… I’m—”

It was an old wound, shaped like a scorched butterfly. Wade's eyes were glued to that scar. The fury in his eyes suddenly swirled into confusion, shock, and a tremor so faint it might be missed. "Where'd you get this?" he rasped, his breath heavy. I tried to wrench my hand free, but his grip was punishing. "Ten years back, in the old Milanex City, during a nasty clash." I recounted with a detached air, as if it were someone else's story. "I was just passing by when I heard some noises under the debris. I was young and reckless, and thought I could play the hero. Got a nasty burn from a beam that came down."

Lauren gazed into the mirror as she peeled off her clothes, not wanting to miss a single sight of it. The once white bandages that had been wrapped on her back now had a hue of red. She sighed and even when she knew it would earn her scolding from Malcolm, she slowly peeled the bandage off her back closing her eyes at the gory sight that greeted her. Her eyes teared. She didn’t believe it was this bad. And Bryan had seen it too? It made her sob more. She didn’t want him to end up having trauma because of her. She was used to it after all.

I can't fight nor move, my strength got drained instantly. "Silas!" I tried to shout, but even my voice is weak that it can't reach him. "This won't last" "Silas and you should die tonight," My eyes widen when I saw a red dot on Silas's chest. I want to scream, but my voice is too weak to let it out. "P-please n-no," I said, pleading to the man behind me. My mind went blank, my face paled as I saw the red dot on everyone's chest, no one did even notice except the two of us who's standing in the middle..
