Defending Broken Isles Novels & Stories

“You're going to break yourself if you continue to keep it inside.” Cecilia turned, her eyes glinting with held-back feelings. “They turned their backs on me, Annie. My family, my pack. They threw me out like I was nothing.” Her voice trembled, and she collapsed onto a nearby chair, cradling her head in her hands. "How can I recover from that?" Annie crouched down next to her, gently resting a reassuring hand on her arm. "You are among the powerful wolves I have come across." And you’re not alone on this. You have me.”

She probably wouldn't have gone as far as severing the mate bond if there had been anything worth fighting over. After the call, Kaden slipped into deep despair. His mind flew back to her haunting words. "I will walk away and never come back if you ever betray our mate bond." At the time, Kaden had merely uttered with a smile, "You can run, but you can never hide from me. I have the power to shut down the entire territory, and that includes every human airport and train station. So long as you walk this earth as Seraphina, I will never let you leave me."

I looked up at the sky, at the vastness that made all our struggles seem both insignificant and achingly important. “Because not choosing is still a choice,” I said. “And I won’t let fear make it for me.” The fault lines beneath Ravenwood continued to shift. But now, we were no longer pretending they weren’t there. We were learning how to stand on broken ground without letting it swallow us whole.

The legal argument continues—terms, signatures, deadlines—but they're standing on the wrong battlefield. The deed isn't the objective. The document isn't the trap. The island itself is the vault. And the demolition crew isn't here to destroy it. They're here to extract it. I move into Isla’s personal space, lowering my voice so only she can hear over the wind. "Isla. The drilling rigs." She glances at me, sharp. "What about them?" "They're not demolition. They're extraction." "Extracting what?" I hand her the scope, pointing toward the north face. "Heat signature. Server cooling. Hale built something inside the cliff."

Hello Lovelies. From here the part two of this book SHATTERED YET STRONG will begin. It is the story of Gabriel and Louis. It will have the characters of book 1, BROKEN BUT BEAUTIFUL continues but they won't be focused much till the middle of the book. Also, this book mentions the triggers of rape, assault and heartbreak. I would suggest if it isn't your cup of tea, you may leave it here. Tabby Chapter 1. Letting the Pain out...

Everyone of us is broken in one way or the other. We just find a way, a thing or a person that glues us together. And sometimes, we don’t even find that so we learn to live with our broken parts and wait for that day when they will stop hurting. ~ A. Gupta Violet

After a few minutes I still don't get a response so I decide to try one more time and hope for the best. 'Jack, please. Raven is in danger. We need to tell the others. Please will you just help me.' I let out a huge sigh. I'm so frustrated I have no contact with anyone. 'Sorry Allistar, I've been fairly weak due to the silver and your injuries. I heard everything that man said and I will do my best to create a connection with Iris to relay the information. I have very little energy so Iris is the only one I might be able to contact due to our connection neing stronger than the others.' He sounds just like how I feel. It's almost like he's in the distance of my mind, but he is going to try an

“I’m not going to hurt you.” “I don’t know that. You say you aren’t going to hurt me, but the way you act sometimes hurts me. One day you treat me like you want me. Then the next you’re telling people I don’t mean anything to you. That we are only friends. I can’t take that. Not from you. I’m already broken, Dmitry. But you the power to shatter me.” His eyebrows wrinkled together. “Dani. For days now, I have been trying to tell you how I feel.”

Gideon responded. Upon examining the map, he found out that there were a total of 16 islands in the Seawell area. The largest one was in the center and served as the main base. The four islands surrounding the central one had the most formidable defenses. The remaining outer islands only had some sentries and bases established on them.
