Broken Book Galatea Novels & Stories

From beneath his guard’s grip, Marek laughed—a bitter, broken sound. “That is how they do it,” the rogue murmured. “Burn the page, then blame the ash.” Corvin snapped that rogues had no voice in council proceedings. Mira turned to face the elder, her posture steady despite the trembling in her hands. “Then let the page speak.” Galen returned bearing a moon-glass case. Inside lay a single page, blackened at the edges and fragile as dried bone. The room shifted when the pack saw it—not because they believed yet, but because the damage looked real.

“Joanne said words before she— before she went. Not English. Later, at the cove last night… we found the same words carved into untouched sand. No footprints. No drag marks. Just this.” He reached into his jacket, pulled his phone, fumbled the gallery open. The screen washed his face pale-blue in the tiny dark. He pressed it to the mesh so Frank could see: a crisp photo of the scrawl, a close-up of the letters, the crude RIP above it like a child’s tombstone drawing. “Read it,” Gabe said. “Out loud.” Frank angled closer. “Sulcatum, Rudmalian… Speculum Sacculus Repdetrious.”

“Barely. Clinging to scraps. Letting anyone look at me like I was nothing because I had to. I didn’t ask for this. I didn’t ask for you.” His jaw tightened, the muscle ticking under stubble. “I didn’t ask for you either.” The words were quieter now, but worse. Final. “You think I wanted some broken omega who can’t even walk straight without embarrassing herself? You’re a mistake. A glitch in the Moon Goddess’s plan.”

My eyes were irritated, but I ignored them as I sat up in the bed and looked around the room I was in, realizing it was the guest room. My heart raced as I looked at the mess in front of me. There was foam and white stuffing on the ground beside the bed. The wood frame that was once holding the bed up was now broken, and the pieces of wood were impaled in the wall. The headboard was broken in half with large slashes in it. I looked towards the door, and the door handle was still holding in the lock. But the other side of the door was broken, the hinges completely ripped from the wall. The closet door was destroyed, and the clothes were in shreds, holding onto their hangers.

It feels like the last kiss we'll ever have. A piece of broken glass showed us two souls hanging on to each other while the world around them fell apart. When we were done, he put his face against mine. "You're not by yourself." I believed him. For now. There was a loud cry in the hall. "ALPHA!" Román was there. Still alive, but bleeding and moving around. Rhea came out from behind him. Her cape was torn, and her fingers were moving with magic. "They've broken through the lower gates," Rhea said out loud. "Something got through."

Emily The morning sun streams in through my bedroom window, signalling the fateful day has arrived. Today I leave behind my old life for a new future as Luna of Red Creed Pack. More importantly, today marks the first step toward achieving my long-awaited revenge. By this time tomorrow, I'll be far from the grasp of Dorian and Lily. Too far for them to continue hounding my steps. A knock sounds at the door before my mother enters, her smile tinged with melancholy. "Good morning, my darling. Are you all ready for your departure?"

The Crimson Mage muttered ancient charms beneath her breath, each syllable heavy with unease. “This city should not exist,” she muttered. “It burned in both worlds. Yet here it stands—half in memory, half in flesh.” Elira turned to her. “That’s because the relic here doesn’t guard a place. It guards a truth.” Lucien frowned. “Truth?” Elira held up the broken shard still embedded in her palm from the previous relic quest. “The second relic—the Glass Pendant of Truth—was forged by the Guardian of Memory. It reveals what was lost. And sometimes, what was meant to be forgotten.”

Killian’s blade trembled in his grip. Lyra stared at him, the weight of those words pressing on her chest. “You never told me… you didn’t remember everything about that night.” “I—” he tried to speak, but his voice broke. “I didn’t want to. I was too ashamed.” Celeste’s smile widened. “And that guilt? That crack between you two? That’s the wound Lucien needs to exploit. The rite requires unity. One fracture, and it all collapses.” Seren cried out as another piece of the ritual circle fractured. She fell to one knee, blood streaming from her nose.

His shoulder shook as he broke down crying. Michael's heart broke as he took in his broken Omega. He cursed himself for what he had just done. He hated that he scared Noah and hurt him with the Alpha command. That wasn't his intention. He never wanted to hurt Noah; he just wanted to show him he couldn't talk to him like that.

The enormity of my actions and the resulting grief cast a shadow over my soul, and I swore that I would never again allow myself to love or be loved. As I ran, the memories of my mother's gentle touch and my sister's infectious laughter faded into the distance, replaced by the overwhelming guilt and shame that would come to define my existence. At that moment, I became Jason the Broken, a man forever haunted by the tragic consequences of a single, devastating night.
