Eclipse Of The Heart Novels & Stories

That was when Garrett started to look at Joyce and the way she reacted to everything. The look in her eyes when something happened she didn’t like were almost snake-like. They were almost slit and then would change color, and she would focus on things that weren't there and often had nothing to do with the situation at hand. This was her normal. She would then play the pity card about how she had to take the orphan of her wonderful dead sister in and proved her care without anything from the estate to help her. The last was what stuck out in Garrett's head.

“On the destination attached to Vanessa’s recording.” “Explain.” “Fourteen minutes after the recording was made, someone uploaded a copy outside the school group chat. Nathan recovered the confirmation. The destination code was ECL-S1, and one of our old Covenant seizure reports identifies ECL as Eclipse.” “Send me the report number and the upload information.” “I will after you tell me what Eclipse means.” “It was an observation program.” “For what?” “People the Covenant considered biologically or magically significant.” I leaned back in the chair. “Children?”

Why did he have to be late on a special night like this? "He's close," Katie sniffed and whispered. "Now, I'm excited." For the first time in a while, I felt her leap within me. . . The elders approached the altar. Lady Trish, the priestess of the moon goddess, lifted her wooden staff and began the bonding ritual. “Tonight, the Moon Goddess will seal what has been bonded forever. After this ritual, there is no going back. Now, step forward. Alpha Jax Kane and Mira Locke."

Streams of blood poured scarlet stains in my hands –– the rust stench as the dagger squelched deeper hung in the air. My father clutched my wrist, his hand shuddering, cold and pale. He bared his teeth in torment, breath labored, as blood trickled down the sides of his mouth. “Run back to the palace, my boy. Tell your mother and sister to hide; the border has been seized.” That night, he embraced death with open arms, which was the same night the moon was shrouded in darkness. I had known the premonition of the eclipse: the curse and the bad omen it represented. Perhaps my father had surrendered to it.

It swayed gently in the breeze, a haunting reminder of the woman who had traded her daughter for a lie. Elias stopped in the center of the room, his eyes turning silver. He pointed toward the floor, toward the massive portrait of the first Wolfe Alpha that lay face down in the dust. He said it was down there. He told them that the Heart wasn't just a stone; it was a living engine. He said he could hear it breathing.

If the key they had mentioned was any indication, similar to the one I had been drawn to. My shoulders slumped. Aunt Eloise was right, the council didn’t bring me back here because they cared for my mother. No, they brought me back because they needed me for something. Day of the eclipse? What the hell was that even? Nazeera’s body heat vibrated. Or maybe it was mine, I had no idea. Why would Odhal, god of Hades, need an eclipse? And what did this have to do with Oakblood, Kingsbury, the students, the keys? What did it have to do with anything?

I just waited, my silence my greatest weapon. His smile faded when he saw he wouldn't get a reaction. "The eclipse is not a metaphor," he said, his voice dropping into a conspiratorial whisper. "It is an event. A convergence. The faithful have been waiting for the signs. A vessel awakening. A pack shrouded in a curse. The pieces are in place."

Caelan moaned loudly, not bothered by the echoes in the room. Whether it was how thick Ryker's cock was and how he constantly rammed into his prostate making Caelan see stars, or how tight Caelan's hole was, repeatedly hugging Ryker’s cock causing him to see lights as well, no one knows why they didn't notice the flash of a camera as someone took a picture of them.

“When the Door awakens, there will be no academy,No houses. I will be completely in charge of the throne." She flung him into the bell tower. The bronze tolled once,deep,mournful,and cracked down the middle. The sky darkened. Stars blinked out, one by one, as if the universe itself was disappearing. The eclipse was less than twelve hours away. Morwen stood alone in the Pit of Echoes, surrounded by bones, blood, and the whispers of the dead. The Heartstone pulsed in her chest, its hunger was desperate for more. But something was missing.

"Maybe it's the strong winds from the recent typhoon. I think I've caught a cold..." Carter nodded, gently taking her hand and leading her toward the cemetery exit. "It's my fault. I knew you weren't feeling well, but I still dragged you out here in this cold wind." I hung back, watching as everyone gathered around Jodie. The sight of her being smothered with concern hit me like a tidal wave, and a deep sadness overtook me. Suddenly, a sharp, brittle snap echoed from the tree nearby. Before I could even react, the massive trunk cracked in two and came crashing down.
