Dead Heat Novel Novels & Stories

It was soft at first, then steadier, soaking the ground and dusting the leaves with glistening droplets. Jed sat on his front porch, unfazed by the weather. A loosely tied robe hung open just enough to reveal the outline of his chest and the waistband of his briefs beneath. Steam curled lazily from the coffee mug beside him on the small table, while an open book rested untouched on his lap. He wasn’t reading anymore.

Meanwhile… Across the country, I sat hunched on the edge of my bed, my head pounding violently. A cold sweat drenched my skin, my entire body burning with fever. I clenched my fists, struggling to breathe. muscles ached, my vision swam, and my limbs felt unbearably heavy. My mother’s words from earlier haunted me. "Maybe she’s truly dead…my breath hitched, with chest tightening with agony. No. Alex wasn’t dead. She couldn’t be.

I no longer feel anger and hatred. Zach and Melody were no longer part of my life. They were merely chapters in a storybook that I would pick up to read occasionally. I was scrolling on my phone when I saw our city's local news. [Man With HIV Was Unhappy That His Girlfriend Is Negative. He Forced Himself on Her Multiple Times, Contracting Her With the Virus.] Although the accompanying photo was blurred, I could still recognize the people in the photo—Zach and Melody. Yet, at that moment, I no longer cared about them anymore. I was going to ask for a two-month sabbatical leave. I no longer want to go back and slave away at my job.

Lucian's pov The patrol reports were spread across my desk and the words blurred together and my head was pounding. Kade stood by the window with his arms crossed and his face was pale and his eyes were tired. We had been working for hours and the candles had burned low and the fire had died down and the room was cold. "Another body," Kade said. "I know." "Found this morning. Near the old pass." "The same?" "The same. Drained. No blood. Just empty."

Riley The wooden door to the kitchen clicked shut behind Silas and Fantine as I stepped down the back stairs, and my uncle was sitting up at the long wooden table with a thick blanket wrapped around his shoulders while he drank hot water from a glass cup. The physical strain from my wolf heat still made my shoulders ache a little bit, but seeing my uncle sitting upright with a healthy color in his cheeks made every drop of used energy worth it. "Thomas is tied up in the cellar room downstairs, Riley, and Fantine smashed his syndicate radio before he could send our exact location to your father's hitmen," Silas reported, leaning his long spear against the wall beside the kitchen pantry.

I tried to dodge the attack, but I slipped on a rock underfoot and crashed into the wall. Pain shot through my still-healing wound, and a cold sweat broke out as I froze in place. Seeing this, Gerald sneered and advanced slowly with the knife in hand. "If it weren't for you, Meghan and I would've been married by now! Now, I'm going to send you to where you belong." As the knife was raised, I closed my eyes tightly, full of bitter resentment. The sound of the blade tearing through flesh pierced the air. My heart skipped a beat. I thought I'd die with regret, but the pain never came.

He grumbled and then he gave up resisting and crushed his heart in his own hands and went limp. Aiden is right beside me. “Mojito?” I look at Aiden. His eyes full of concern. But I smile, “It’s over.” I turn to the guards, “Please burn his body as is custom. Leave no trace of him.” Abuelo and Tio Valeno looks at me. I think they are freaked out by my calmness. “I could read your thoughts if I wanted to. But I don’t. I’m glad he is dead. Now we have to prepare for our next threat.”

"She's brain dead. Time of declaration- 11:43 p.m." Everyone walked out of the room one by one while Violet was crying somewhere in the background, with Kirk consoling her. A few minutes after they were all gone, a nurse walked in and covered me with white cloth. She walked out right after that, but then someone entered almost immediately. I knew it wasn't the nurse because the footsteps were heavy. The figure walked up and stood right next to my bed. He was close. Too close. And then the deep, male voice said. "You deserve this. Once you are gone... immortality will be mine."

Zero. The Shared Heat didn't just die; it recoiled, a violent, icy snap that tore through my own chest. The bond between us—the jagged tether I’d spent five years hating—went stone-cold. Kael collapsed like a tree burned hollow by lightning. Black blood splattered the frost as he hit the obsidian floor, his eyes vacant and gray. "Kael!" My voice broke, the mountain's scream in my skull reaching a deafening crescendo. He didn't answer. He lay still, a monument of ash.
