Heartbeat Novels & Stories

At forty-five minutes, a final sensation hit me—my heart stuttered, hesitated, then fell still. The monitor was flatlined. The silver glow along my arms flickered once, then went dark.

This stillness wasn’t him. It was something taking him. Something pulling him away. “No,” Damon said again. Stronger this time. Refusing it. Refusing the possibility. Seraphine’s voice cut through again. “Rhythm?” “Erratic ventricular response” “Damn it.” She moved fast. Too fast. Damon’s pulse spiked. “What is it?” No one answered him. No one had time. The room tightened. Focused. Everything narrowing toward the same terrifying point. Luca’s heart.

Too perfect. "I... I am fine Sir " June whispered. Her voice was weak. She gripped the edge of the desk. The wood felt solid. It felt real.. When she looked at her left arm she saw a faint pulsing purple line under her skin. It was fading,. It was there. "Focus, June " Arthur said. He leaned down so only she could hear. He tapped her exam paper with a finger. "The Heart is super important. If the blood stops flowing the whole system fails. You know this better than anyone."

It wasn't hard enough to cut off my air supply, but it was hard enough for me to know if he wants, he will press it. I looked in his eyes and he looked into mine. "Ill ask again. All ok sugar?" I stayed silent as I didn't know whether to say yes or no and his grip tightened. "No" I said as I winced. His grip got loose but he still didn't leave my neck. "What's wrong baby?" he coos and bends down and puts his face in my neck and I gasp at it. I had hickey's and bruises all over my body. Him kissing on my neck elevated the sensitive feeling.

I answer nervously his question. We both walk silently into his room and lay on his bed. I guess we both felt uncomfortable but then he puts his arm around my waist. I feel a lot better than I expected so I put my head on his breast and hear his heart racing very fast. I hold my head up to face him. When I smile he kisses me. And I think I won't have a nightmare tonight. ... (to be continued)

She turns to me smiling. "Everything is okay Mr Hale. Apart from the bruises on her face, she is fine." I am too shocked to respond. I guess I haven't gotten used to the idea of being a father. Aella is equally quiet, she has refused to look at me since I came in. "Let me show you something." Aella and I look at the monitor of the machine immediately. I am too stunned to speak, too overwhelmed to breathe. I let go of Aella's hands, moving closer to the screen. It is my child's heartbeat, and it is perfect.

“Definitely a baby in there. Nice strong heartbeat.” “Oh wow,” Cameron whispered. Aislen turned her head to where the four men stood near the desk. Cameron was grinning through tears. A muscle worked in the corner of Heath’s jaw as he fought for control. Talen used his thumbs to capture his tears. And Rhett’s face was hidden in his hair, but his throat worked as he swallowed hard, and she knew from the wash of emotion in his mind, that he was moved by the sound of that rapid beat. “Is it… Ahem,” Heath had to clear his throat. “It’s very fast. That’s normal right? I read that’s normal. But it’s one thing to read and another to hear…”

He turned to his men and ordered, "Throw them out, but don't hurt them. I promised my queen I wouldn't harm humans." I hadn't expected him to actually remember that promise. Back in our quarters, Magnus settled me down, rolled up his sleeves, and went into the kitchen to cook. Ever since he had learned how, every meal I ate was one he prepared himself. If I tried to stop him, he'd even sulk about it. After dinner, Magnus pulled me into his arms. "My Queen, I'm so happy today. When I heard what you said, I was truly moved." He grabbed my hand and placed it against his chest. The next moment, I pulled it away and pressed my ear against him instead. The steady thump of a beating heart made my e

Eli stood by the window, the soft glow of the moonlight catching the sharp line of his jaw and the gentle, expectant look in his eyes as you entered the room. "I've been thinking about this all day," he murmured, his voice a low, melodic vibration that seemed to settle deep in your chest. He didn't wait for an answer. He moved across the space with a slow, deliberate grace, closing the gap until you could feel the heat radiating from him. When his hands finally found your waist, they were steady and warm, pulling you flush against him. You could feel the thrum of his heartbeat—fast, rhythmic, and echoing your own.

Looking around, others walked by normally, which meant I was the only one who could hear it. “Warning, heart level dropping. Bordermark breached.” Buis’ voice echoed loudly, a large warning sign on the screen but I kept going, thinking it was trying to stop me.
