Dare To Live Series Novels & Stories

Choose your side. Dante’s pulse quickened. He had a choice to make, and every road led back to her. Back at the safehouse, Sergio’s fingers clattered across the keys. “It’s live.” Clara leaned over his shoulder, eyes wide. On the screen, the headline glowed: From Victim to Survivor: The Untold Story of Livia Moretti.

In an eerily calm voice, I asked, "Aren't we playing Truth or Dare, Ms. Stuart? I chose dare, so I picked someone to carry out the dare with. What's wrong with that?" "Why, you…" Whitney trembled hard, so outraged that she could barely speak. "How dare you choose to accept that dare? What gives you the audacity? You could've just accepted the punishment instead! Who the hell do you think you are?" "Hm?" I raised a brow, my tone mocking. "So you do know the rules of this game, then? Which means you could've conceded earlier and taken three penalty shots instead. So why did you choose to go ahead with the dare? Are the rules of the game different when it comes to you?"

But even if I had slept with a girl before, I know better than to lay their names down before these clowns. Chatters went on, but I didn't care. Jackie gently squeezed my hand, trying to make me feel better. Dav went ahead and collected the cards, played with them and served them again. I'm hoping Carlson won't take it upon himself to do that dare, maybe I will be safe. This time, a girl got up to do the dare. "Card number 8 and 6, I dare you to kiss and make out before everyone!" Wow! I thought Carlson was just being a jerk, but this girl...she's on another level.

I stepped up to the platform to stand on trial. On the large screen before me, comments flooded in in real-time. "She's the first person brave enough to stand on trial!" "Criminals will only surrender in the face of irrefutable evidence." "The show's about to begin!" Before we started, the judge gave me one final warning. "Defendant, are you aware of the trial process and understand its consequences? Are you sure you want to go through it?" If I were found guilty on trial, I would be euthanized on the spot, and the ownership of my organs would go to my parents.

He draw nearer to her, towering over her little frame. She wasn’t gonna cower away from him this time, no. She looked up and stared straight directly at him, to the windows of his soul. It was now or never. “I dare you, Alpha Andrin.” She spoke with authority in her voice, “I dare you to fall in love with a useless dormant wolf like me.” They held their stare, both stubborn enough to not look away. Their breaths mingled from the close proximity but not once did they thought of pulling away. They were testing and challenging each other.

“Thank you for staying with us, Kath.” The game continued and it was one of the weirdest set of questions and dares I've ever encountered in my life. They would ask questions like ' do you know who invented the chalk?' or ' I dare you to act like the most popular person ever existed in this whole wide world. Weird but atleast...we're happy..

I probed. “I wouldn’t be able to answer your question because I am also unsure about it, but let’s say I want more time with you to get to know you better. Will you come live with me?” He asked. The sweetness in his voice and the sincerity on his face couldn’t help me not agree to live with him. A negative response would upset him, and I didn’t want to make him sad. It was definitely going to be a dream come true for me, but I will have to be extra cautious about the things I would do over there and the way I would live.

And enjoying socializing without being afraid of the judgements they're throwing. I wanted to feel alive...but how? I'm alive, but not living. That's how I defined my life. It's all started when I was five. The day when my life turned into lifeless. The red curtains swayed like its dancing to the rhythm of the wind. A loud shattering of glass filled my ears. My lips quivered in fear and tightly shut my eyes as I covered my ears with my tiny hands. "You can't leave me! Stay with us!"

She caressed his hand lightly and he snuggled closer to her. “God gave me another chance but I still couldn’t get over that regret; the regret of ending my life. He punished me, forcing me to stay on earth. I hated it at first. But soon I started engaging in things. I realized that I had the power to fulfill other’s wishes. I did so for a long time until I came across those people…” He paused suddenly. “Your real parents…” He finally said it and she flinched.

"Ever since we tied the knot, I've kept my distance from Damien. Can you at least stop talking dirty in front of my parents?" Her voice dropped into a furious whisper. "Last night was just a game. I didn't actually cheat on you!" At the entrance of the Bennett residence, Damien stood there with the puppy in his arms, looking frantic. "Olivia, help! Something's wrong with Livie. I think she's going into shock from being hit! I already let you go so you could be with him. Can't you guys at least leave me with the dog?" The soles of my leather shoes clicked sharply against the marble floors as I closed the distance between us.
