"We will burn the rot from this place." He flung his hands forward, the fire rolling from them in a wave, crashing over the convicted with no mercy. Beta George was the first to be hit; the force of the flames knocked him prone even as his clothes ignited. High-pitched screams pierced the air, finally fading as the fire died and left nothing but ash behind.

In the end, I couldn't take it anymore and rushed into the fire department with a bouquet of roses. I yelled into the megaphone, "Jared, I like you! Marry me! I'll keep standing here until you come out and meet me!" After a long time, he finally came out, surrounded by his team members. He walked up to me and accepted the bouquet of roses, but he rejected me. "I appreciate your feelings, but I can't marry you." I asked him tearfully, "Why? Do you not like me at all?" "No." "Then, why? Tell me! At least give me a reason!"

Sparks struck his skin, blistering his arm. He screamed, stumbling back, his body nearly consumed. The pack recoiled. Some shouted in horror, others in awe. The scent of burnt flesh and blood filled the chamber. But through the chaos, the fire did not relent. It leaned farther, stretching, bending—until its searing glow licked dangerously close to me.

Her eyes, fixed upon me, were burning with a furious mix of malice and defeat. Madre slapped Ella hard across the face before Ella could even get a word in. "Is that how you apologize to someone? How dare you glance at Cynthia in such a manner! I'll gouge your eyes out if you do that again, Ella!" Ella was struck so hard that blood started spilling from the corner of her mouth, staining the clean, polished floor. I deliberately approached her, then crouched down before her, saying, "You've lost the wager, Ella."

One review — the one that mattered, the critic who had said the second novel made staying feel like the bravest possible choice — wrote: The Morning is the final novel of the Burn Between Us sequence, and it does something I have never seen a four-novel sequence do: it ends by refusing to end. The last sentence is a morning. An ordinary morning, in a specific kitchen, with the coffee and the light and the person still asleep.

"That's what he gets for taking the male lead's spot for too long!" Our mutuals stopped us. "Helga's gone to get you a present. You should go back and wait." "Friends for life.

Átila blew softly to the side. A simple breath. Blue flames erupted from the ground. Draconic bonfire. Hot. Clean. Smokeless. Bluish light danced over the three bodies.

When an electrical fire broke out in the shopping mall, the manager, Robert Hoffman, saw my electrician's uniform and begged me to help. I rushed inside, put out the fire, and repaired the electrical system. In the end, more than a thousand people evacuated safely. When the fire department arrived, the captain clapped me on the shoulder. "Thank God you acted quickly. If you'd been two minutes later, all six floors would've burned to the ground!" But the very next day, dozens of merchants showed up at my door. "This is all your fault! You cut the power for four hours, and all our frozen goods thawed! We lost over a million dollars!" I hurried to explain, "If I hadn't cut the power, the e
