Fatal Flaws Novels & Stories

He pulled me close and vowed, "I'll love you for the rest of my life, Evelyn. I'll never see you as less." I really did believe him back then. At 25, he wins the pack war again and emerges as the strongest Alpha. But he turns our mate bond into a joke. At the celebration dinner, during a thoughtless game of Truth or Dare with his secretary, Mia Sadler, he speaks across the mind-link to everyone. "Evelyn, you're painfully dull. You're not the least bit appealing, your scent is thin, and you can't even bear a pup. You're just dead weight. I wish you'd never been saved back then. I wish you'd died."

"Eve, I'm sorry for missing our date. Regardless of my excuse, you must have waited a long, long time for me. That's my fault. To be honest, I knew it was you the moment you added me with your anonymous account. That's because I've seen you logging into that account in the library. "I was surprised when you asked me if I'd like to have that kind of video chat with you. It was hard to imagine you doing something like that because you seemed so well-behaved. I couldn't help but feel happy when I learned that I was the first person you asked to do it. I knew you weren't a girl who often found pleasure using such methods. You only did it to find out how I felt about you."

“I’m gonna assume you agree then, Beowulf. It truly is nice to see you have a good head on those shoulders.” “I wouldn’t exactly say that, mayor,” I corrected, fixing myself up of any wrinkles I have on my suit. “You see, there are two flaws to your condition.” “What flaws would they be? We’re talking about giving up a worthless woman who can’t do her job right to my son who- for one reason or another- fancies her. I’m being generous with this one.”

I wish to make them both wished they were dead than to be alive and suffer my torment. I noticed I was becoming too bitter, angry and resentful. I've never wished my enemies misfortune before, neither have I laughed at someone else's misfortune because I've been there, I knew what I'd feel like, but right now all I deeply wished for was to see them both burn to the ground. I wanted so bad to snap their necks whenever I remembered or took a glance at them, I wanted to end their lives at any cost. It was this rage that made me loose guard and refused to focus on the important things in front of me.

The silhouette tilted its head again. “You trust them to protect you,” it said. “I trust them enough.” “Trust is inefficient.” “And control isn’t?” I shot back. “It is… reliable.” I folded my arms. “Then why didn’t your system work?” That got a reaction. Subtle. But real. The space around the silhouette flickered—just for a second. “Because it was incomplete.” “Or because it was flawed.” “Everything is flawed,” it said calmly. “Including what you built.”

My classmates turned their glares on him and Chloe. Grandma wiped a tear from her cheek, her voice trembling. "Oh, Sylvie, this is all my fault. I thought the shoes were pretty, so I made you wear them. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have been expelled." The room went deadly quiet. The reporters looked up, confused. "Expelled? What do you mean, expelled?" "Why is Sylvie getting expelled over a pair of shoes?" Grandma's finger trembled with rage as she pointed at Mr. Carter. "He claims that just because Sylvie wears designer brands, she isn't poor! He's not only denying her the financial aid grant, but he's also trying to kick her out of college!"

She said. "Strong enough to admit to yourself that you're down, that you're weak" She said. "And that's where most people fail. To recognize their faults, their flaws" She said. "And not just embracing it, by changing it into something you can be proud of" She said. "There's perfect in imperfection" She said. ~ TWO DECADES AGO "Your mum was in a fatal accident, she's gone in a better place" Grandma said. "Tell me it's a story for tonight" I asked but she remained quiet, failing to assure me.

He spun around sharply to face the staff. “Are you all just dead weight?” he snapped angrily. “You can’t fix a bug? That’s what I hired you people for!” One of the employees sighed before responding. “Simple bugs we can handle,” the staff member said patiently. He gestured toward the dead monitors around the office. “But this isn’t a simple bug.” Pete glared at him. “Then what is it?” he demanded. The employee folded his arms. “It’s an internal flaw in the system itself,” he explained. “The framework that holds the entire structure together has collapsed.”

"That is decay. It's stagnation. It's a pattern eating itself alive because it's too afraid to grow. True strength isn't in being perfect and static. It's in being resilient. In being able to bend without breaking. In learning from the crack and becoming more beautiful because of it." He looked at the cube, his gaze unwavering. "Your first flaw isn't your end. It's your beginning." The cube went utterly dark. For a terrifying moment, Sela thought they had broken it. That the paradox had been too great, and it had simply shut down.

he suddenly asked her. “My life is completed. Who said that a bad decision can change one’s life completely?” She hugged them both. “Who said that one day your will stop with your dumb ideas?” He joked and she hit his chest. “I didn’t even need alcohol to be dumb.” They both burst into laughter. “I accept your flaws, even your flawed resolutions.”
