Endeavor Without Flames Novels & Stories

Althy ordered. Eleand closed his eyes again to deepen his concentration. But he found himself in panic when he saw the black thing trying to consume the blue flame in his mind. No, shit! He needed to ruminate on ending the summon. It took him a lot of willpower to control the black fire. But it was too late. He already burned the entire training area. The flame scattered around; the sprawling plants withered and turned to ash.

Flames danced and flickered, their vibrant hues painting a dangerous landscape. Emma's pack members struggled to endure the relentless inferno, their bodies drenched in sweat and their spirits tested. But their determination burned brighter than the surrounding flames, forging an unbreakable bond between them. They navigated through canyons ablaze with fire, leaping over molten rivers that threatened to consume them. The ground beneath their feet radiated searing heat, challenging their endurance at every step. Yet, fueled by their unwavering unity, they pressed on, their hearts ablaze with a shared purpose.

In front of the mirror, she struck a confident pose, summoning the image of flames dancing at her fingertips. "Focus, Beverly," she whispered to herself, her gaze fixed on her reflection. "If there's even a glimmer of truth to that dream, show me now." With a determined look, Beverly extended her hand, envisioning fire erupting from her palm. But to her disappointment, there was no flicker of flame, no hint of the supernatural. She tried different poses, even attempting to will the air around her to move, but all her efforts were met with silence and stillness.

"If the Queen has Zeke, we don't have much time." I looked at the narrow road between the mountains. If we went through, we'd be walking right into a trap. If we turned back, we'd face whatever forces were coming in behind us. "We go through," I decided. "But on my terms." Caius raised an eyebrow. "And what terms are those?" I felt a smile spread across my face as I held up my hands. Flames danced across my fingertips—not normal orange fire, but brilliant ruby-red flames that cast strange shadows without burning my skin.

The one who spoke to us lit his hands on fire and began touching the trees around him, making them burst into uncontrolled flames, not like Hunter's very controlled fires. “Now you have a choice,” He said, “You both can die by my flames or you can come with us, the choice is yours, girls.” The smoke reached my lungs, it took all I had not to cough and blow our cover. The flames spread like wildfire. Callie squeezed my arm I looked forward and then back at the men, they weren’t looking in our direction yet. We could make a run for it again, it’s our only chance. Together, Callie and I pushed off the tree and sprinted through the trees again.

I make one last ditch effort to not have it end right this exact moment. “At least let us wait with you, while you wait for the cab then” I plead. She takes a deep breath like she is at least considering my final plea. Which I really hope works because I’ve got nothing left to even try with. She nods her head slowly and in that exact instant I down my beer, so does Levi and we follow her back outside.

She didn’t even seem to be taking a breath. He caught that finger in his hand before it went flying up his nose. Sweet tingles and flames ran up both their arms at the touch. Her mouth finally stopped moving as she gaze stared at my hand clasping hers. She had to feel that. He’ll, see that. Keegan had heard the mate bond could create tingles of the skin when emotions were high, but he had never heard anyone mention sparking flames before. That had to do something with her. The flames weren’t burning us. Just running over our skin. Her mouth hung open as she finally looked up into my eyes.

He said. “Hmm…” I hummed as I blushed listening to him. “At that moment I was hit with inspiration and wrote a song about you. It needs more work to reach perfection but do you wanna hear it?” he asked me. “Okay,” I said excitedly. “What’s the title?” I asked him. “It’s called, ‘You are my FLAME’.” He answered with a smile watching me getting all excited. “What does that mean?” “Well, FLAME is an acronym. Each word denotes something.” Grabbing my hand and spreading my fingers with his.

"Together!" They joined hands, focusing on their bond and the energy of the Moonflower. The flames danced around them, but instead of being consumed, they formed into a protective barrier. With their combined strength, they shaped the fire into a swirling vortex, creating a path through the inferno. Once they emerged from the fiery realm, they found themselves in a tranquil meadow, the air filled with the sweet scent of flowers. But their respite was short-lived, as a sudden storm gathered above, dark clouds swirling ominously.

The lock clicked, loud in the silence. The shower water burned, a desperate attempt to wash away the night. Ava scrubbed her skin red, but his scent lingered. She stared at her flushed face and wide, scared eyes in the steamy mirror. What did I do? Dressed, she avoided her reflection. The room felt charged, heavy with unspoken words. She couldn't face him yet. She needed time, space. Sunlight, sharp and bright, hit Lucas's face. Ava gasped, a tiny sound.
