Devotion Novels & Stories

Not flawless, but devoted. The house, once filled with quiet shadows, laughter that had faded too soon, and the lingering ache of past mistakes, was now filled with small joys: the soft gurgle of a newborn, the faint squeak of a crib, the warmth of shared smiles between two people learning together.

I could see he was a kind man, and I didn’t want to seem rude or ungrateful. “You’ll come back, right?” he asked in a gentle voice, like he was trying to tame a wild animal.

Not when we’ve just started piecing each other back together. “Tell me it meant something,” I whisper. “Everything we’ve gone through… tell me it wasn’t just survival.” He pulls back slightly, his thumb brushing along my cheek. “It wasn’t survival,” he says. “It was devotion.” The word cuts through me like a blade - sharp, deliberate, undeniable.

were valid substitutes for "devotion." I looked up at him, my voice quiet but firm. "Cassian, I want the devotion. I want the respect of you telling me things without me having to ask. I want the kind of loyalty where you'd change your behavior just because you know I don't like it. I want a man whose world starts and ends with me. That is security. That is commitment." For a moment, I felt a strange sense of daze. The fractured mating bond twitched again, mocking me for ever putting my hopes in a man who refused to look back.

His anguished confession drew attention. "I can't bear the thought of a life without you in it, Bienley. Hate me for what I did, but please don't leave me. I beg you to let me redeem myself, and even if it will take forever I will never cease" Devon's pleas rumbled with anguish, filled with a raw intensity and a deep-seated need for absolution.
