Icarus Has Fallen Novels & Stories

I pointed to the glowing blue sphere. We both lunged for it, but the floor vanished beneath us. We were falling. Silas grabbed a cable with one hand and caught my ankle with the other. We swung over the edge of a bottomless pit of data and fire. Above us, Aris was laughing as the ceiling began to cave in on him. "You're going to fall into the Trash-Code!" Aris yelled. "You'll be erased!" "Not today," Silas hissed. Silas used the momentum of the cable to swing me upward. "Elara, touch the node! Reach for Aethelgard! Don't look back!"

I finished up and stepped out of the stall, already turning toward the door to rejoin my team when I saw someone was standing there. Blocking the way. August. Up close, he looked worse than before, his eyes unfocused, his stance slightly off, like he was already drunk enough not to care about anything around him. “Move,” I said, my voice was annoyed. I didn't have strength to deal with all the Ice fuckers this night, I have to wrap up here and head back home. August didn’t. Instead, he stared at me, like he was trying to see something that wasn’t there.Then suddenly, his hand shot out and grabbed my arm.

“Put him down, Alpha.” Silver eyes shifted toward her. Unlike Marcus, she didn’t look afraid. Just tired. Very tired. “You’ve made your point.” Several tense seconds passed. Then finally Kael released him. Marcus collapsed back into his chair coughing violently. No one rushed to help him. Not a single elder. Kael stepped back. The room remained silent except for Marcus struggling to breathe. Then Kael looked around the chamber. Slowly. Making sure every elder heard him. “Nova is not a prisoner.”

Sinking to her knees, Sonia unleashed her anguish, her cries echoing in the desolate surroundings. Tears streamed down her face like a rain downpour, each droplet carrying the disappointment and heartbreak of an unrequited love. She allowed herself to revisit the vivid images she had woven in her mind, the life she had imagined sharing with Jayden. The laughter, the love, the moments that would never come to pass.

If he had indeed lost control of himself and kissed Archer then and there, then he would have been no different from Brutus, taking advantage of Archer while he was powerless. Archer suddenly felt another dizzy spell. He couldn't even stand on his feet anymore.

Nevan hissed, his hand gripping the edge of the console until the metal groaned. "It doesn't kill you," Aris said, a ghastly smile touching his lips. "That would be too kind. The Icarus Strain is a de-compiler. It targets the parts of your DNA that allow you to interface with the Sovereign. It burns through the violet-coding, turning your nervous system into a forest of scarred nerves. You’ll live, Gianna Lane. But you’ll be a prisoner in a body that can no longer hear the stars. And the child..." Aris let out a wheezing laugh. "A god-mind in a brain that can no longer process data? He’ll go mad before he can even speak his own name. His mind will expand, but his flesh will rot."

The floor was a river. Aris Blackwood stood in the middle of the carnage, his hands raised, trying to hold the molecules of the room together by sheer force of will. "No! This is my legacy! This is the foundation!" Malakai looked at his ancestor. The toddler’s eyes were two pits of endless, devouring shadow. He took a single step toward the old man. The floor beneath Aris didn't just melt. It vanished. Aris fell into the void, his scream cut short as the citadel’s physics finally gave way entirely.

I stopped crying after several hours and JD stayed with me the whole time. Before long, the day finally ended. This marked the end of whatever illusion I had of ever being with Adrian and the end of The Decadence of The Fallen as well. We were a band no more after that and the girl who once fell for the "Ice Prince" had given up on trying to melt his frozen heart.

Sabrina exclaimed but to be honest, there was nothing she could do , the only person brave enough to stop this was Sebastian . "How dare you go against me, get yourself ready because very soon, you will move to the Red Moon mansion" . " But fa… " before she could finish her words, Sir Gabriel left the lady who was drenched in tears, she was just twenty years old just like me. ' What will people in college say, they will probably laugh at me that I was sold off to an alpha because of an alliance ' this was what had been ringing in her head, she was only worried because of her social status and the high possibility that she might drop out from school if such happened.

The soft glow of the moon filtered through the cracks in the stone walls, casting long shadows across the room where Aynur’s newly awakened form lay in silence. Kalias stood at the edge of the room, torn between a flood of conflicting emotions. She had promised to restore his crown, to make him whole again, and yet... something about the Goddess’s words haunted him.
