Heart Of Fire Books Novels & Stories

What I needed was something specific, something subtle that would give me an edge, something others might overlook. As I continued channel surfing, my fingers paused over a small local news segment, buried beneath the more sensational stories. It was that of the FireHeart pack. Headlines: FIREHEART PACK HAS LOST THEIR BELOVED MINISTER OF SECRET AFFAIRS IN WHAT IS BELIEVED TO BE A SEVERE HEART ATTACK. I leaned in, listening to the words of the female reporter as she spoke.

The tension inside me coiled tighter and tighter, the air in my lungs coming in short, broken pulls. When it finally broke, it was with a rush of heat that stole my breath. I arched against the mattress, the world narrowing to the sharp, trembling pleasure that pulsed through me. My heart hammered, my body shivering as the wave slowly ebbed. For a moment, I just lay there, my chest rising and falling quickly, the taste of my own breath still sharp on my tongue. I had thought it would be enough. That the fire in my veins would cool and the pull would quiet.

* Coolth wrapped her heart. The frantic race of her thoughts slowed. Not dulled. Clarified. She could feel movement without being yanked by all of it. She faced Fire. *You are in my rage,* she told it. *In my passion. In my desire to fix everything now. Walk with my purpose, not my impatience.

The chamber responds. Light sweeps across the space and forms shapes. At first just silhouettes, then clear enough to feel real. She sees a figure standing at the center of old fire. Then another. Then more. Seven in all. The first firebearers. Their flames rise from their chests like living streams. Their hair, their clothes, their eyes burn with the same energy she once feared in herself. They circle a heart of fire that looks exactly like the one roaring inside her now. Rowan whispers, “These were the first?”
