Romans & histoires Cold Fire Book

I had thought that it would burn me – taking a peek at the two women who were with me, they were back away from the fire, Leah patted the small flame that got on her pants, Lyv helping her put it out. I could still feel the heat, but what was odd was that the flames didn’t burn me. I lowered my hands slowly, looking at the book – now burning yet the pages were intact. My heart beat fast as I walked back to the podium. I blink, there was something new. I blinked again. I rubbed it, feeling the sting I had felt when Leah brought me to Neverwhere.

The acrid scent of the smoke still clung to Ava, a harsh reminder of the fire that took her parents. At eight, her world was a scary, gray place. A cruel twist of fate left her alone, an orphan in a world that didn't make sense anymore. A warm hand touched her shaking shoulder. Tears blurred her vision as she looked up at a strong man. He seemed so strong, unlike the weakness she felt. His kind face showed he understood. "Please don't... don't... Please don't kill me too," she whispered, her voice small and scared.

Then—an explosion. The fire surged, twisting unnaturally, moving with purpose, as though it were alive. A wave of heat slammed into me. I turned my body, shielding the child as I rolled out of the way, the flames licking at my back. Pain flared, sharp and searing. My wolf howled in agony, but I clenched my teeth. I could heal. The child couldn’t. The fire withdrew as quickly as it had come. I forced myself to my feet, gripping the girl tightly in my arms.

he says and I shake my head, refusing his threats. “Or…” he says and takes his hands completely off of me. He opens the book and flip through slowly, his fingers teasing the edge of the white pages the way I wish he would tease my hard nipples. I press my legs together, looking for a way to keep down my lust and the crazy thoughts as a drop of juice slides out of my pussy lips into the lady panties I have on. “Or…” he says again and runs his finger down the page of my last writing. Tomorrow morning is Christmas morning.

> Lucien: “We’re following a breadcrumb trail she laid before she burned herself out.” She nodded once. > Sera (soft): “Elise isn’t gone.” > Lucien: “She’s waiting.” And somewhere far away, on a hidden feed they hadn’t yet uncovered a heartbeat pulsed in rhythm with Sera’s. The firelight from the penthouse fireplace cast long shadows against the far wall, flickering over the once-sterile glass that had turned black from wire-burn and soot. Sera sat cross-legged on the floor, thumbing through Elise’s old, weathered notebook, the one she had refused to open until now.

"No solar gain." Cale made a writing motion. Elion grabbed the notebook from the floor. He handed it to Cale. Cale’s hand was shaking so badly he could barely hold the pen. He wrote two words. Hypothermia. Imminent. Elion stared at the jagged letters. "We need heat," Elion said. "I can... I can burn books. In the sink." Cale looked at the stack of books. He looked at Elion. He tapped his chest.

​The frost on the windows of the Vane Sanctuary had begun to form patterns that looked like jagged crowns. Inside, the hearth fire had burned down to embers, but the air in the center of the room was vibrating with a silent, crystalline pressure. ​Elara and Caleb sat on the floor, knee-to-knee. The Grimoire of the Grounded Star lay open between them, its pages fluttering as if caught in an invisible draft. For three days, they had tried to manifest the "Cold Fire," and for three days, Elara had failed. Every time she reached for the power, it flared into a violent, hot violet flame that scorched the floorboards and left her gasping with exhaustion.

Koldis echoes my thoughts as he catches up with me. "Got a light?" I bring out a stick of cigarette from the pack in my hand and stick it in my mouth. I watch with raised brows as fire springs from Koldis's forefinger. "Nice trick." I lean forward and squint as the butt of the cigarette lights up with orange flames. I move back, inhaling smoke into my lungs. "You taught me."

the man asks him. “Maybe someone tampered with it, it must be a set up, I swear, I know nothing of it” he begs desperately, with tears mixed with blood from being beaten and bitten by dogs rolling out. He knows his begging will never change this stone cold heart man in the middle, but he still wants to try whether mercy will be granted unto him. The man in the middle is the boss of Dragon Mafia. His name is Anthony such a soft name for someone who is never to be messed with.

A gasp of shock escaped me as the flames retracted and I could have a better look at the Bloody General. ** You can read Alev's book (The Golden Dragon's Surrogate) for f.ree on Kindl.e unlimited. For more information, join my group: T. R. Durant's Realm of Light and Fire
