Hearts Divided Novels & Stories

I close my eyes, feeling the heaviness in my heart. Now is no time to be weak. I suck in a deep breath, my heartbeat roaring in my ears before I reopen my eyes. “Kane Ibraco is fighting for his very life at this very moment and I can only imagine him standing here looking at us if he were awake and wondering why we are not all united as one. Wondering why we are all divided? Wondering why we can’t all just get along? Are we not all a family? Did you all not take the oath to serve as one?!”

--- Not love. --- Not trust. --- Not even them. --- And as they stood there— Between what they had been… And what they could become… Between connection and distance… Between feeling and choice— One final truth settled in: --- A divided heart does not mean weakness… --- It means there is still something worth choosing.

A part of me relished the thought of their arrogance crumbling like old stone under pressure. A part of me wished it hadn’t come to this.

Fear. One of the younger commanders stood abruptly. “So what? We abandon our home?

The Heart's essence, in spite of the fact of it being weakened, was still glowing, a flicker of hope within the repercussions of devastation. Clara’s heart leaped with renewed determination.

With renewed resolve, Clara turned back to her friends, a smile playing at the corners of her lips. “The Heart’s still with us.
