Firekeepers Daughter Novels & Stories

"How dare you come back here?" Her voice was flat without any trace of emotion. "And you brought this... dirty child with you?" "Mom!" Rick stepped forward and shielded us behind him, his voice turning cold. "The girl's name is Tina Rivers, my daughter. And this is Mandy Rivers, my wife." "Wife?" Rachel scoffed, then slammed the table and pointed at my face. "I'll never acknowledge her! A woman who only causes trouble and raises a lying daughter is unworthy of being my daughter-in-law!"

She looks old and skilled. I decided to learn more about her, so I started to do my research. She is the daughter of the moon and was sent to earth to guard some heavenly fire. She fought many wars and spilled the blood of whoever decided to get hold of the fire. And I do not know what happened, but she gave up on her life; she got cursed to complete her task, and then only she could enter the heavenly fire. And somehow, Ava got Ersa as her wolf.

"Dorian went rogue. He shot his own daughter because she chose peace over violence. And he did it all while hiding his actions from the Order." Silence. Heavy and waiting. "Why should we believe you?" the commander asked. "Because I'm standing here, unarmed, asking you to listen." I touched the pendant at my neck, felt its warmth. "And because I walk under a Veilkeeper's blessing. Serah herself gave me this." The commander's eyes narrowed on the pendant, recognition sparking. Maybe even respect. The murmurs among the soldiers grew louder, more agitated. "The Veilkeepers don't give their blessing lightly."

That smile shaped from aching grief and faded lullabies. “Mother,” she whispered. But her mother didn’t look at her. She looked through her. Her twin stepped forward and spoke what Selena dared not. “You’re the Flame’s Warden. She’s the one who stayed behind when we ran. That’s all we know.” Selena’s mother lifted her head slowly, and her eyes—once bright with lullaby skies—were rimmed in spiraling black. “I was the Heartbearer,” she said, voice hollow. “And I burned my daughters to keep the Gate sealed. But one survived. A mistake.” The Spiral roared behind her. Selena’s skin began to glow.

My mind floated back to the confrontation in our mother’s living room. “I don’t care what he’s done.” Annabelle hissed, stomping her foot. “Mom wouldn’t want us to leave him here.” “But if he hadn’t tried to pull his cons, she would still be alive. He invited these hunters, fucking mobsters to boot, into our lives.” I bellowed. “Your whole plan relies on me actually being this Alpha’s daughter.” Lizzy whispered, interrupting the argument. “I won’t go anywhere without Deven.”

Alpha Xander shakes their hands as he greets them before turning to introduce Luna Leslie and us girls, “This is my lovely mate Luna Leslie, our daughter Marci, Beta Marcus’s daughter, Callie, and Gamma Dave’s daughter, Celeste.” That was our cue to look into their eyes and shake their hands. When I glared into Alpha Callen’s eyes, I instantly felt a pit sink into my stomach. It wasn’t a good feeling either. My wolf, Bree, I knew from that was nervous. He was making her nervous.

My reflection dissolved. In its place, I saw her—my ancestor. A woman cloaked in moonlight. Her dark hair was swept back. Her eyes glowed silver. She held a crescent-shaped blade in one hand, and in the other, a baby wrapped in firelight, cooing softly. She looked directly at me, and though she did not speak, I felt her voice in my bones. You are not just her descendant. You are her continuation. I gasped. “She looks like you,” my mom said gently. “That is the first Dreamkeeper. The Moon Flame Witch. She bound the Devourer the first time. Her blood runs through your veins.”

The five SUVs that entered the city a day before were an escort for the leader of the branch who was ordered to lead the mission after the news of the recent incident that occurred. The door of Sector 85’s underground base opened and a man with a built body and a neatly cut beard stepped in. He was the leader of the Hunters of Sector 85. “What’s the progress?” His thick voice attracted the attention of everyone in the room. The second in command, Alice—the leader’s daughter—raised her head from the map she was focused on at the table. “We found Ruth but… but she escaped before we could get to her.” “And Dad… she wasn’t alone. She was being chased by another Alpha werewolf,” she moved closer

But I had thought they were scientists who just wanted to turn me into some lab rat because of my rare rod-like pupils. "What are you doing?" She asks, her eyes resting on the bunch of flowers in my hands. "Making a posy for Romeo." I announce, waving the bunch of flowers in the air before proceeding to string a red ribbon around them, "Because I'm the best girlfriend ever." "Mrs. Ferguson and her grandson were just letting out curse words at the unfortunate human being that dared to tamper with their flowers," She moves further into the room, snatching the flowers from me, "Why do I have a feeling my daughter is the flower thief?"

I say looking at her growing angrier with each second that past, she just nods her head looking to the floor avoiding eye contact with me. "I can now answer the questions you asked me first; you are at the base for the operation I run that hunts down some of the world's most profound criminals and brings them to justice, you're here because this is the safest place for you at the moment." She says answering my first two questions but hesitates on the last about my dad. "At this moment I don't know where your dad is, but I'm doing everything in my power to find him." She says tears beginning to prick her eyes as she spoke, which makes fear start creep up inside me.
