Dally Didn't Die A Hero Novels & Stories

The ten-carat diamond ring hit the bottom of the bin with a clear, crisp clink, like it was bidding me farewell. Everything was over. Nothing could salvage this relationship. … I sat on a cold, hard bench in the ER, my face drained of color. Across from me, outside the VIP area, a crowd had gathered. The people whispered among themselves. "They say that Don Costa's people are in there." "It's probably the Donna. He's so worked up over her when she isn't even injured. He made the hospital call in every doctor to check her over." "Classic hero-saves-damsel moment. Didn't you see the gash on his head? That cut was huge, yet he didn't even make a sound!"

The photos. The recording. The report. Soon, all of it would reach Adrian. But not yet. Not here. Not while I was still close enough to be found. My assistant turned slightly in the front seat. “Ms. Vale, your flight boards in an hour. Should I shut down the old number?” I looked out at the fading line of New York and placed my hand over my stomach. “Yes,” I said. “Turn it off.” Scarlett Moretti died at her wedding. Stephanie Vale took her unborn child and her future with her.

My throat tightened, remembering Asher’s grin, his jokes, the madness in his eyes, the way he treated danger like something familiar enough to flirt with. “Ayla watched our parents die,” Dax added. “Watched Valerio break. Watched Asher change. Watched me die and return wrong. She never forgave the world for it. Maybe she never forgave us either.” Tears slipped from Dax’s eyes before he could stop them. This time, I wiped them away immediately. I didn’t say anything at first because what could I possibly say to that?

Alice was mean enough to feel happy about that. But once everybody found out that she had pushed Elle down the flight of stairs, everybody turned on her. Her friend, her life, her future... Even her own mum... --- "Do you have any idea how serious this is?" The Principle (Mr Callum) said sternly, looking at Alice through his glasses. Alice nodded. "I lost my cool with Emilia," She admitted shamefully, "It was wrong of me. I'm awfully sorry." "Unfortunately, being sorry isn't enough in this instance." Mr Callum said slowly, "I appreciate your apology but duelling in England isn't acceptable. Even if it is in America..."

I hold my arm to my chest and lean to the side so I can pull my phone from my pocket. Claire- Why did you come to the house? That was a dumb move, Ann. Now you are hurt! What the hell?!?! I sigh. I should have known Claire would be pissed. I move on to Finley's message without replying. Finley- I will be up there to trade spots with Lewis in about thirty minutes. We are having to go over the events with the council's agent. Darcy died in a bomb blast protecting Benji. As I read the words my chest tightens. His message sounds cold as if he is trying to relay the facts for me while hiding how it is affecting him, which isn't normal. Finley has always been open with his feelings. Losing her mus

I think about the first life and the ballroom floor and dying with my hands pressed against a cold marble surface asking for one more day. I got more than one day. I got this. "Yes," I say. Riven looks at me. The dawn arrives.

He yell out. "Who died and made him Alpha?" Darius jokes. My smile turns into a look of defeat, as the image of Darius lying lifeless in the bed with a hole in his chest plagues my mind. "Shhh... I'm sorry Farfalla. I didn't mean it like that. I shouldn't have said it."

Because we fought for our lives today. And did we win that fight? Did we win back our lives? It felt like we did. Alpha Dale stepped over Derrick’s body and dropped down to wrap is arms around me and draw me into his chest. He let out a shaky breath but his heart was steady and sure. This man killed for me.

"Most of this success you are seeing came from him." The thought of Dallan's father brought Hazel chills. From the story, he sounded like someone who didn't go to war and lose, who could read a man from a glance. Hazel silently thanked her stars that she had fallen into the hands of his son and not him. "He sounds ruthless," she said at last.

“I don’t want the same thing that happened to Kelly’s daughter to happen to you, Mateo, and Sean. Especially you, Sean. The moment that they get you and kill you, Blue Water Pack will fall. And when that happens, Goddess have mercy on all of us because I don’t want to go to war again for the second time in my life. I am too old for that.” He gave final instructions to Sean and Mateo before finally saying goodbye. After the call, Sean called his Beta, while Mateo checked on his cousin Kaleo.
