Falling For My Ruthless Savior Novels & Stories

Another smack and she fights back, pushing me back against the railing and my arms flail around like a bird on its first flight. She sees me flailing around for balance and uses the opportunity to rush down the stairs leaving me to my fate. “You won't get away with this Jojo Dukes!” She yells as she flees out of the Mansion. I'm about to go over the railing and plunge to my death when a hand tugs me forward and I'm dragged into a cocoon of warmth. My face hits his chest and I'm happily smothered by the woodsy spice scent that just saved me from a reckless fall for a minute or two and then reality crashes down.

“But you still know about it, don’t you? You knew, but you did nothing to help those helpless girls.” I walked towards her until I pressed her against a wall. “I don’t know if you remember this, but I’m not a good man. You’re mistaking me for some kind of savior. I’m not. I kill people, Ravenna. Just the night before you came, I killed two men. “Today, I killed fifteen men for you. I’ve done horrible things that’ll make you rethink ever wanting to have anything to do with me, and I’ve enjoyed it. So, stop this savior bullshit you’ve got going on in your head. I’m not that person.”

"You are." I kissed her then. It wasn't a negotiation. It wasn't a calculated move. It was an explosion of all the friction we had been building since she walked into my office. She tasted like rain and rebellion, and as she pulled me closer, her hands tangling in my hair, I realized that the "Art of Falling" was a much faster descent than I had ever anticipated. I was Silas Sterling. I was the Wraith. I was the man who never lost. But as the lights hummed in that grimy Brooklyn studio, I knew I was about to lose everything I thought mattered and I was perfectly fine with the cost.

I cried out, eyes widened as the person pulled the trigger. My heart was pounding as I watched my savior tilt his body, at the same time, pulling his trigger. The figure behind him dropped dead and my savior walked up to me like nothing happened. My knees buckled and I felt myself falling, but he was there in an instant, catching me in his strong arms and holding me close. “Are you alright?” He asked. I'm not. I'm not alright. I wanted to scream, but my lips wouldn't move. I looked him in the eyes, my fearful eyes roaming his face, making sure he was alright.

my weight again, trying to get a better view. Suddenly, the log in standing on lets out a loud crack, causing me to sway unsteadily. I freeze. Holding my breath, I pray the man didn’t hear the sound. But to my dismay, he stops what he’s doing and I see him turn his head slightly as if he’s listening for the source of the sound. My heart pounds loudly as I watch, waiting with bated breath to see if he’ll turn around. The seconds feel like an eternity as I stand there, teetering precariously on the creaking log. After what feels like hours but is just a few seconds, the man turns back to what he’s doing. Just as I’m about to let out a sigh of relief, the log gives way beneath me with a splint

“I hate you Talitha. I hunted every town my spies saw you. I searched the deepest forest and farther into every pack of the world to fish you out. Finally, you’re here and this time I’ll make sure I’ll take everything that makes you special, gifted, and exalted and replace them with a broken, weak, and worthless slave, and not only that… I know you hate me, my name, and whose son I am. But that would change. I’ll fill you with me in every corner of your heart, soul, body, and blood. I’ll be so deep in your blood that when you bleed you bleed me.” “You’re a monster! I’ll never let you come an inch close to me and I want nothing more than cutting off your head.” He burst into an unhealthy laug

Natasha looks just as confused as I am. Alphana walks towards me, her steps slow and deliberate. She reaches out and cups my face in her hands. "You are the mighty alpha," she says, tears streaming down her face. "You saved me from a fate worse than death. You protected me. You kept me from suffering." I'm stunned by her words, unsure what to say. But I know that I did what I had to do. I protected Alphana, and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

I teetered with one foot on the stairs, dangerously close to falling head over ass down the flight of stairs. My arms flailed wildly in the air as I desperately searched for something to hold onto, only to grab and miss the rail. All the while, my eyes, wide with horror, were transfixed on the man who stood frozen on the stairs, watching me in equal surprise and horror. Then mercifully, he seemed to snap out of his shock just as I fell over, and moved quickly. He grabbed one of my flailing arms and with incredible strength, hauled me forward and I flew, with all the grace of a ragdoll to collide with his chest, the impact knocking the breath out of me.

My hands were flaying, my eyes bulging, a scream Lodged in my throat, refusing to be let out, fear held me in his grip. "Is this it?", I thought, as I watched the edge on which I once stood get farther and farther away from me, my life unfolding before me. I forced my eyes close, deciding to accept my fate, I mean, I had no other option then I stopped. I stopped falling and from the pull on my leg, I guess, it wasn't my supernatural strength surfacing because I was dying. I tried opening my eyes to see my savior but at that moment, those hands pulled me up roughly and I banged my head against the walls and blanked out.

He was right - I was indeed defending Ethan. “You are defending him, Skylar. I couldn’t believe myself. Why was I defending Ethan of all people? Especially after what he did? Why was this happening to me? Why was I even feeling the need to defend him? Oh, damn. “You are unbelievable, Skylar,” Nick said and caught me off guard. Without warning, he suddenly twirled me around and left my hand. In the process, my heel broke and skipped past my leg, leaving me in just one heel. I tried to not fall on my nose for the second time for the day and accidentally fell in someone else’s arms instead.
