Novel & Cerita Burning Low

I’ll burn the bodies but I won’t do it within the Pack borders, which means I need them moving somewhere secure until I can dispose of them safely. “Ghost and Brandon are already sorting out storage; we’ll burn them once the threat is over.” Once again I’m stunned at Low’s effectiveness as my Beta, each time he does something, I’m reminded what a good Beta actually is. James was decent but he didn’t have anything on Low. We just get eachother in a way my ex-Beta and I never did.

I said to the empty room, and my voice dropped into a low, reverent whisper. "You really are going to burn this whole place down."

I can hear his heavy, uneven breathing and the unsteady, too-fast thud of his heart. And underneath it all, I hear a soft, continuous hiss. Like meat searing on a hot pan. My eyes drop to his chest. The runes are literally burning him. Tiny wisps of smoke curl up from the glowing marks. They’re so faint I would have missed them before. Terror grips me. "Azren..." My voice cracks. "They're burning you. Oh gods, they're actually burning you from the inside—" My stomach chooses that exact moment to growl embarrassingly loud.

I listen for footsteps that don't come, neither does the door open revealing the large lug of a man that has been chasing me since time eternal. The fire before me screams for fuel as it's embers die down but I don't move to help it's survival. So it burns and flickers, fighting tooth and nail to stay alive until finally, a strong wind waltzes from the window, putting the strugggling flame out of it's misery. It doesn't take long before I become cold again and it doesn't matter how much cuddling I do, it's not enough to warm me.

"You need to calm down a little. I know you're upset, but I can see the fire burning inside you. You look like you're going to combust, and I don't know what that level of Hellfire will do." I could hear him trying to soothe me, but it was like a small breath of wind in a raging storm. Not enough to blow out the flame, but just enough to spread the fire further. It went from the fire burning in me internally to the fire spreading all over my outer body. Its scorching flames licked my skin, making it crawl on my body, squeezing tight against my bones as it shrank in the heat.

Sitting on her chair, Lucy drank a glass of cold water thinking that the burning sensation will calm down if she drank cold water. But, nothing has stopped the burning sensation. Her wolf is also crying inside because of the burning sensation. Both knew that they can’t able to break the promise Lucy did to her mother.

“Like I said, tend the fire ‘till it’s large enough to cover your body and then let it consume you.” “But like how does it work?” I hear Lowenstein sigh. “Life is so much easier when there’s nobody yapping at me.” “You know you’re really rude!” “You’re no walk in the park either, kid!” He’s so annoying. I’ve never had somebody bring out this side of me. “What do I do for food?” I ask after a couple of minutes. “Nothing.” He looks over his shoulder at me. “You have to starve yourself. Your body has to be weak; your will power has to erode. Like I said, it’s a test. You have to be at your weakest for the fire to work on your seal.”

Lowell leans against the tree, wiping sweat off his brow. His entire body burns with heat and pain emanating from within; his muscles ache as though they have been at war for days. At intervals, fever descends and leaves him weak and lightheaded. He grits his teeth against the agony, determined that he will not let his body betray him any longer.

Aeliana's POV I wake up burning. Not the feverish kind of burning that sends you reaching for aspirin and cool cloths. This is something else entirely. Something that starts deep in my core and spreads outward like liquid fire, pooling in places that make my breath catch and my thighs clench together. What the hell?

“I hope you like pizza, because with sounds like that, I’m either only ever feeding you pizza, or banning it from the house in jealousy.” “Tom!” I shrieked, surprised by his words. I splashed water at him, but he just smiled. “I’m just saying. So, I ran into Doc in town. He gave me some advice for the burn. If you’re up for trying, it may be worth it.” “What is it? Cause honestly, I’ve tried just about everything in the past. Hot water and then lots and lots of aloe, plus time is about the best I’ve got.”
