Goldfinch Characters Novels & Stories

He has found something to tease me about and he most likely won't relent until we return home in a month. I smile and shake my head as he nudges my shoulder with his fist. His face looks happy and unconcerned about our position in the air, which makes me envy him all over again. Envying Finley isn't something new for me. Finley's playful nature has always been something that makes people gravitate towards him. His easy-going personality and his kind heart make him a better man than I will ever be. A man that takes after our mother, the most kindhearted person in this entire world. The exact opposite of me.

His attempts to impress me were dwindling, so even though I could see him cringe at the thought of sitting through a puppet show, Alexander had known he would take it. “Why not? I’d love to see how the stories and plays differ here in Dragon Wing from back home,” Alpha Kingsley agreed easily, then turned to Finnley with a broad smile. “Smart, intelligent, beautiful, and now creative? You’ve just hit the jackpot on that daughter-in-law of yours, eh, Finnley?” “That’s right,” Finnley snapped out of his confusion, giving Alexander a look and then smiling at Alpha Kingsly. “We’re very proud of our Charlotte. And Alexander, as well, though he’s always been exceptionally gifted.”

"But Finn is not those people. Finn is a seven-year-old who told Parliament that Uncle Callum earned his position and that earning matters more than being born to something. He is not the tool they are trying to make him." I think about Finn, who arrived three days ago and who looked at everything in London with the quality of someone for whom everything is new and therefore everything is interesting, and who sat in the shelter courtyard and counted the pigeons and told me their specific flight patterns, and who has Cormac's jaw in the way that I have Valentina's eyes, which is to say something of someone who is not here is visible in someone who is. "We're both supposed to be something," I

Ren suggests making me laugh. Dove looks a little green and seems to be ignoring us. Juliet- I have a bad feeling about her. “I don’t need the details of my conception,” Finley shivers. “Go check on your brothers,” Finch tells him, while laughing. “I want to know what you decide,” Finley whines. “Oh, dear goddess, thank you for rejecting me. I would punch you in the face for that whine,” I tell him, making Turk burst out laughing. Finley gives me a fake shock expression.

“Before, it’s always been low-born women with no class or status. To be honest, I’ve long grown tired of them. I want to change. I want someone more challenging! I want more stimulation!” Finley bit the bullet. He mustered all his courage and retorted, “Young Master Fox, Quinn Golding is indeed the best among all women. But the risk is far too great! I fear you’ll have a hard time getting out of the mess if things were exposed!” Homer didn’t share Finley’s concern. On the contrary, he was positively brimming with joy. “It’s exciting because of the risk!”

Fletcher jokes, unable to stop himself from saying the dumbest shit. “You better change as well,” Charity retorts. “You and Xander are helping them.” “But-” Fletcher starts, but one look with an arm cross from the Gamma of Silver Run, and my Beta is standing with the other men gathering the empty dishes. “Fine,” he grumbles, while Matt snickers, enjoying every second of Fletcher getting scolded. One look from Charity has him silencing himself. I need to know her secret, because getting those two assholes to shut up must be a magical skill or mystical energy.

My brothers gave me it all the time. I opened the book and continued to look at him. I could feel that he was planning something. As I began to read, Marilee nestled closer, her little head resting against my shoulder. The story unfolded with its usual charm—the prince cursed into a frog, the reluctant princess, the magical kiss. But Phin was the real show. He threw himself into each character, his movements exaggerated and full of life.

I watch Mina walk toward us her interest peaked. Her eyes are focused on Golden; she walks next to me and looks at me for a long time. As if she’s asking me what the hell bro? She sits down next to me and looks at Golden for even longer. I can see her little mind working over time. I open my mouth to say something but she beats me to it. “Who are you?” she asks Golden still looking at her intently. “I’m Golden.” Golden says extending her hand to Mina. My little sister looks at her hand and then she looks at me. I smile and she looks back at Golden’s offered hand. She looks Golden in the eyes and then finally decides to accept her hand shake.

To avoid confusion, please note that 'Piper' will be used to reflect her thoughts, feelings, and inner monologue, while 'Princess Faye' or simply 'Faye' will be used by other characters and in situations where her royal title is relevant. Additionally, you'll notice that the character Flynn, Piper's former fiancé, is now going by the name Asher. Please be aware that Flynn and Asher refer to the same character, and the name change is a deliberate choice made by the character himself. Thank you for your understanding, patience, and support. I hope you enjoy the story! >>>>>>>>>> CHAPTER 1 PIPER. “Why? Why me?” I whispered to myself, my voice cracking, but I couldn't find any answers.

The cottage feels too empty with only five of us remaining. I pace the small space, my body healing slowly but my mind racing with everything that could go wrong. Marcus heading into elf territory where one wrong word could mean execution. Stark facing ancient vampires who might see him as a traitor to his kingdom. Kara approaching a dragon who could incinerate her on sight. "You're going to wear a hole in the floor," one of the remaining guards observes. His name is Finn, a young wolf who lost his pack to false accusations of theft. "Sit down before you collapse."
