Hearts Vex Novels & Stories

Her eyes shifted from his face down to where her hand rested. "You have no- no-" "I have a heart, Harley. It just doesn't beat." "That's insane, I never even bothered to think about whether a vampire had a beating heart…" "So, look me in the eyes and tell me that this is what you want for yourself? If you can do this one thing, then I will change my answer."

“Do you think they see us?” “They don’t need to,” Rhea murmured. “If they’re adjusting the stabilizer manually, they’re already seconds from triggering a failure cascade.” Adrian’s pulse thudded harder. There were only two reasons someone would be inside the Heart chamber right now—either they were trying to seize it… or destroy it. Judging from the way the Heart’s rhythm staggered, skipping beats like a heart in the midst of arrhythmia, it was definitely the latter. “We need to shut down the veil,” Adrian said, already moving toward the auxiliary panel embedded in the wall. It flickered with corrupted data, as though someone had partially overwritten the system.

The sound of hundreds of supernatural beings in pain was horrific. Thelma, Theo, and Xavier suffered worst of all. As the most powerful supernatural beings present, the pulse targeted them specifically. Their screams were raw and desperate. Through my own agony, I watched them collapse, their bodies convulsing. Dr. Vex walked through the field of writhing creatures, her expression sad but determined. "I'm sorry for the pain," she said, her voice carrying across the battlefield. "But this is necessary. You're not people. You're weapons that need to be controlled. And I'm the one who's going to do it."

She rolls over, silent sobs catching in her throat. Vex’s chest tightens. He’s never seen her like this before. Not vulnerable, not in control. Vex slams his tablet down with a sharp snap, knuckles white against the dark surface. He rises abruptly, pacing the length of his office. Something unfamiliar twists in his chest—not guilt, he doesn’t feel guilt—but something adjacent to it. He pours another drink, downs it in one gulp, then hurls the glass against the wall. Shards scatter, a brief punctuation to his frustration.

“I can feel him.” “I don’t really know anything about curses,” Max said, “But I’ve never heard of one that makes someone’s heart stop.” “That sounds like something a vampire would do,” Thorne said. I froze. “What do you mean?” “Vampires,” Thorne said. “Their hearts don’t beat at all, right?”

"Even I had a heart, which you wounded in every possible way. So now, I really don't care what you do. I don't need your pity." I looked at him in disbelief when I heard him say those words. I put my hands on my hips and said, "Pity? Is that what you think? I pity you? I care for you, that's why I am trying to bring you back." Vexon let out a humorless chuckle. "Bring me back? The previous Vexon will never come back, no matter how hard you try. There's no way." I arched an eyebrow, saying, "Is that a challenge?"

Vex and Skipper give each other the eye. I’m still struggling to decide which one makes my heart flutter the most. It’s a tight competition. All of them are so different, but still equal amounts of delicious. Vex is the one on Carter’s left. He has silver hair like the others, but is the most intimidating to look at. If Carter is a gorilla, Vex is Bigfoot. He’s a giant. The most built out of all of them. His eyes, like the hair and beard, are also silver. I’m having a hard time deciding if I’m more turned on, or more petrified.

Cameron was standing outside Marissa’s door, trying to build the courage to ring the doorbell. After a deep breath, when he was about to touch the bell, someone called from behind, causing him to have a mini heart attack. “Cameron,” “Fuck! Marissa, you scared the shit out of me.” He exclaimed loudly, one hand on his heart and breathing deeply. “I am sorry, but why are you standing outside my door?” She asked him curiously. Today, Marissa was late coming home as she had to run to the grocery store, so it was unusual for her to see her student uncle standing in front of her doorstep in all his glory.

"I'll be right back." I got out of the van, and I don't think anyone noticed because they were so focused on the movie. My steps echoed on the gravel, hurried and relentless until I was a few steps away from Jax. Some people recognized him as soon as they entered the venue, and some girls from school seemed to want to jump on him. "Brat, go away with your boyfriend and stop touching my dick," he grunted, taking another drag of his cigarette. "Are you deaf or something?"

Sheila asked as she regained her composure and forced a smile. "Your bills have already been taken care of by your in-laws before they left for an urgent meeting," Doctor Felix replied smiling. "I'm feeling much better now, I think it's best I head home and rest. I'm no longer comfortable here," She stated, turning to Doctor Felix with a pleading look. "But the Roberts won't be happy if you leave. Please reconsider and stay until they return," Doctor Felix attempted to persuade her, but Sheila insisted as she had already made up her mind.
