Lauren Kate Fallen Series Novels & Stories

The spectacle caught the attention of the crowd, and they rushed to see what the commotion was all about. Everyone's eyes were glued to the two people on the ground, wondering what happened and what caused the fall. Several onlookers rushed to help Kaspar and Aurelia back to their feet. Aurelia felt embarrassed, blaming her high heels, sending them tumbling down the escalator face down onto the floor. Clarice was looking at the scene below, smiling inwardly in glee. It was just a tiny victory. A tiny revenge, but it felt so good watching her enemies fall flat on the floor.

Tall, broad-shouldered, wearing dark armor that gleamed under the moonlight. No. Not him. Not Kael. He smiled, a slow, cruel curve of his lips. “You should have known better than to run.” Mara inhaled sharply. “Shit.” Luca moved closer to me, his body tense, ready. “Seraphina—” I barely heard him. My heart was pounding, my mind racing. Kael was here. The Raven Clan’s best warrior. Their fiercest enforcer. And we had just walked into his trap.

It didn’t take long. The door suddenly opened, and Kate came in with tear-filled eyes, trembling. She froze at the entrance, her gaze locked on her unconscious friend. Beside her was Lucian… He froze the moment he saw Lauren. His body tensed. His eyes dropped immediately, as if guilt had physically weighed down on his shoulders. Kate walked over slowly, her steps hesitant. She touched Lauren’s hair gently, her fingers trembling. “What did they do to her?” she whispered, her voice choked, like she was struggling to breathe. “They hurt her… so much. How did this happen?”

She asked as they left the apartment. “Well Xavier walked in smelling of what I believe you were drinking, some kind of alcohol, and walked into your room…” Jasmine immediately started to turn red as blood rushed to her cheeks and she started to become embarrassed. “No not that…how did you find Chase Fallon? Where did you go last night?” “I went to the beginning. The club that seemed to be the center of it all.” “You went to see Raina? The Temptress?” Jasmine turned to him around to look at her as she was ready to fuss.

TW-RAPE (not a scene just a mention) “The Black Hunter strikes us once yet again leaving a gruesome mess in the house of the murdered. Despite being a messy murderer, not a trace of DNA can be found. Careful. Whoever he is, what does he want and why has he targeted these specific targets?”

A knock came from her door just as she settled in bed. "Come in Lauren", she replied. "Just put it on the coffee table", she added without even looking at the person. "I see for the first time in history the mistress didn't follow the master like a lost puppy", a rather cold voice said compared to Lauren's sweet voice that Laureffaine wanted to hear. "Oh Luna Kate", Laureffaine quickly got up and showed her neck to the red haired woman as a form of submission to her superior. "You can cut the crap Laureffany or whatever you're called, there's no one here, I know very well what you and Xavier have been doing behind my back", she seethed.

Hands on her hips, eyes glaring at me, she snapped, “Don’t pretend to be broke! After you fell from that building, the insurance payout alone has to be way more than that! I’ve humbled myself enough to save your face. Don’t push it!” I immediately caught the hidden meaning and demanded, “So you knew I was the one who fell? In that case, do you also know that you and Derek were the ones who cut the rope?” Her expression instantly went pale as she realized she’d slipped up. Her eyes darted around anxiously, panic flickering across her face. However, just a moment later, she forced herself into calm. She lifted her chin, like a criminal who had nothing left to lose.

He looked strong on the outside, but there was no missing the tremor in his voice when he spoke. "My sister, Renee Granger, heiress of Granger Corporation, passed on yesterday due to an illness. She is no longer capable of getting married or participating in business activities."

Leo seems like a wonderful man and letting him in meant that I was letting another take his place inside my heart. "Maybe this is what you need to get over your past." She said thoughtfully, "A fresh start." "That sounds very cliche." I commented while giving thought to the point. "Falling for your best friend's brother is cliche." She said. "It's a good thing that you and Damien are not together then." I grinned but she remained silent, not meeting my gaze. "Toki?" I called out, "Are you-" "Yes." She confessed and I noticed the tears that glazed her eyes. Standing up, I rounded the table pulling her into a tight embrace. I sat there confused as my best friend bawled her eyes out at the ment

The final piece. The detonator for the truth. "Goodbye, Liam." I push the button. The lights go out. And in the darkness, I hear his voice. "Aiden, wait!" But I don't wait. I jump. I don't know how far it is. I don't know where I’m going. I just know I’m finally falling. And for the first time, I’m not afraid of the ground. I’m afraid of what’s waiting for me in the dark.
