Judy Alvarez Novels & Stories

Alvarez from the third floor was clutching his hand in both of hers, her knuckles swollen with arthritis. Beside her, Mr. Kowalski leaned heavily on his cane, nodding vigorously at something Noah was saying. I drifted closer, my plate forgotten in my hands. I caught fragments of their conversation as the music swelled and faded. "Like magic," Mrs. Alvarez was saying, her accent thick but her meaning clear. "My grandson tried for an hour. An hour. And you did it in ten minutes. I can talk to my sister in Santo Domingo now. I can see her face on the screen."

Soon, the comparison was completed, and Judy said, “That’s right! It’s her. This woman is called Adalind. She’s 23 years old and is 164 centimeters tall. She used to be a model. Last year, for some unknown reason, she retired from the modeling world. Now, she lives at 1708, 17th floor, House 23, Manhattan.” Willie glanced at Ross. His tone was not very good as he said, “Could it be that she was arrested and put on trial because she abused a homeless person? This crime is indeed very unsympathetic and terrible, but it is not to the point of being sentenced to death, right? Isn’t the Death Inquisitor a little too much? Or maybe he couldn’t find someone who has committed a serious crime? Perhap

“And talent like yours deserves persistence.” I shake my head weakly. “There are hundreds of people in this competition.” “And yet you’re still here.” Silence stretches between us, then she sighs softly. “You and Noah are my only hope now.” My brows pull together slightly. “What about Jamie?” A strange look crosses her face briefly. “She didn’t pass the last round.” I blink. For some reason, that surprises me more than it should. “She didn’t?” Ms. Alvarez shakes her head. “No.”

The young man really missed Jazlyn. *** "Is it okay to help us at a time like this?" Roseane asked Jazlyn. The girl has now arranged some ornaments to welcome Alvin who finally came out of prison today. "Of course it doesn't matter, Mother. Alvin is part of this family and later I will also be part of this family," Jazlyn said with a perfect smile on her lips and looked at Roseane who had been feeling restless all this time.

Javier said calmly. He looked at Alvin, Pearl and Lenard. He smiled and brought her closer. "This is my wife, the one I am talking to you guys," Javier said. "Wife, these are the people who helped me. This is Pearl and Alvin with their son, Lenard. Lenard and his brother saw me in the jungle," explained Javier. Pearl, Alvin and Lenard introduced themselves to Janiyah. "Thank you so much for helping my husband. I don't know what I'll do when he's gone from my life…” Janiyah couldn't stop herself from crying.

not sure I heard what I thought I heard. "I'm Jennifer Alvarez, I'm here to see Elaina Santoro" she said politely. "Oh, com'on right in" I offered and stepped aside to allow her in. "Please have a seat while I go fetch her" I said and left.

On his left-hand side was Alvina, who was wearing an angry face as if she should punch both the Alpha king and the seer. She couldn't tell if it was something planned just to get her. Or make her go through pain, thinking that she's rendering help, but she is not. “I can tell that my mate here is not convinced about what I told her. Can you please tell her what you told me the first day I consulted you?” said Alpha Ryder to Jada. “Why not? I can do that.” Jada responded and then averted his gaze to Alvina as she stared at him with annoyance.

an unfamiliar voice greeted. "Giovanni, Pablo, Rafael! It's good to see you again," Andrea replied before three strangers appeared in the kitchen. "And who's this?" one asked instantly seeing me behind the counter. He was clearly Hispanic but obviously wanted me to understand what he was saying and could tell I was more likely to understand English. "Ah!" Andrea said his eyes lighting up. "This is my new bitch. Ella Jones, Luna of Alpha Leonardo Loren." "Loren's mate..." one said eyeing me. "Good catch, Andrea. But I've heard about her. Doesn't she give the Alpha a run for his money? Always running away, disobeying, talking back...ect..."

I just searched frozen. She stopped by the dresser and ran her fingers along its edge. “You’re actually beautiful. That’s going to piss off more people than you think. Trust me, there were many bidding on you looking ugly. Some even said that you look like a troll.” I finally found my voice. “And you are…? I'm sorry, but I didn't expect you to come inside my room to just tell me that I looked. Well…” “Madeline,” she said, tossing her hair over her shoulder. “Second daughter of Beta Reinhart. Technically ranked, practically ignored. I'm more of a subtle kind of woman. I choose to at least lighten the mood. I know that you might be having a hard time.”

It was learning to heal. That evening, as the sun dipped into the sea and painted the sky in shades of coral and violet, the group gathered on the sand. Kiara and Serena braided Judith’s hair with tiny flowers. Nivera hummed a lullaby from her tribe, while Valerian whittled a toy sword for Judith out of driftwood. Alexandro grilled fish over the fire, his laughter rising above the flames as he tried to keep the smoke from his eyes. Everything felt… right. Complete. Like the pain of the past had forged something stronger than any spell.
