Lia's Redemption Novels & Stories

"Get others to do the work for you, but always take credit." - 48 Laws of Power -Dallas Demitri Ortega - My eyes scanned the newspaper and a sense of satisfaction washed over me. Marion was now gone, burned to the ground. I was just about to pour myself another celebratory drink when my assistant, Georgia, walked in. "Dallas, you've had enough," she said, taking the cup from my grasp. Georgia DeLuna and I met years ago when she was just starting as a lawyer. She had stumbled upon some information about my business, and instead of turning me in, she offered to help me clean up my act.

If I found out that Evelyn did something behind the scenes, I swear she would regret coming back to America and ever meddling with our lives. “Listen, I love your mother more than anyone else, but I can only protect her when I know what is wrong do you understand?” I pulled him away from me with a stern expression. Niguez nodded and wiped under his eyes. “She blanked out again,” he sniffed. “Like Alice when she was no longer in the real world.” “Again?” I asked, ignoring his simile. He nodded. “She kept on staring at her phone, nearly crashed the car,” he whispered in a low voice.

Closing my eyes, I concentrated on freeing myself from my restraints. "You bitch! What are you doing?! I didn't ask you to take her power for yourself!" I heard Lucas yell. When my eyes flew open once more, I'd broken through my restraints. Ria was lying on the floor, blood pooling around her. Lucas had ripped out her heart from her chest. With a manic cry, he lowered her pulsing heart to the ground and slammed his foot into it. More blood splashed all over the place, staining his face crimson. Wincing in pain from my bleeding injuries, I stumbled towards Azalea, who was lying on the floor. Then, I carried her in my arms.

But clearly, Hailey wasn’t having any of that because I suddenly felt her projecting the intense energy to be saved and rescued. “What are you doing?” I gritted out in a hushed tone, realizing that the alpha could hear and he’d be able to quickly find me if I kept talking but then, I suddenly found the power to rise to my feet, despite the pain and feeling of hopelessness settling deep within me. “Getting us saved,” “You wouldn't,” I spat out but it was as if she’d suddenly taken matters into her own hands and I felt a warm fuzzy feeling spreading through me. She was trying to make me receptive to the idea of the Alpha being our savior but I’d suffered too much to fall into that trap. Withou

On our first night when she still pretended she was a virgin, I promised to love her for the rest of my days but look where that promise got me. Tuning down my thoughts, I turn to face Ava. “What’s on your mind, sweet girl?” “Please talk to me, Ava” “I am sorry about everything, I will handle the situation and keep That crazy woman in check” “Don’t let her get into your head” “She is not worth it, dear “ I say while reaching out to hold Ava’s hand but she is unresponsive, dried up tear marks are visible on her face and her eyes are bloodshot. Cupping her jaw with my left hand, I turn her head to face me, fresh tears start streaming down her face.

His eyes flew wide with disbelief shaking through him. I went on relentlessly, “The one I loved was the boy who held my hand so tight in that orphanage, swearing he could not live without me. The boy who even took my surname, Lucian Quinn. “And he died the second year he went back to the Gill family.” Kyle’s knees buckled. He sank in front of me, clutching my sleeve with trembling hands and spoke with a breaking voice, “Nadine, stop… Please stop. I will give it all up. I will go back right now and say I don’t want the inheritance; I don’t want the Gill’s name. I’ll be Lucian again. I’ll stay Lucian… please, won’t that be enough?”

Somehow, I could tell she had also planned to get rid of Alyssa eventually. Then Alyssa’s soft, trembling voice broke through the tension. "I wasn’t kidnapped. I was attacked by rogues, and Joe saved me. He’s my fated mate." "So, if your intended Luna has found her fated mate, the matter is closed, brother-in-law," Sebastian said casually. Alpha Nicolas’s jaw tightened, but he didn’t argue. "Let’s go, my love," he said to Laura, taking her hand and guiding her away. Alyssa looked at Sebastian with raw hatred. I knew she despised him for leaving me, but I couldn’t clear the air now—not when so many eyes were watching.

The boy reached out and touched the star-scar on Lyra’s chest. "Mama, the ice lady is lonely," Kaelen whispered. Lyra felt a surge of pure, unadulterated power. She realized then that her "Redemption" was not about winning back a pack or a mate. It was about protecting the future she had built in the dark. "I’m not a goddess for your Council, Mother," Lyra said, her eyes turning a solid, glowing sapphire. "I’m a mother who has outgrown her cage." She raised her obsidian blade, the violet fire reaching the rafters.

I couldn't hold it anymore and finally let it all out. Lucian looked at me and said, "He needs you to take up the responsibility of being his mate and love him unconditionally. I have given him all my love and devotion, but I can't save him, Lisa. He's weathering in front of me, but I can't help him. Then you showed up and you have brought us hope. But it turned out that there's nothing on your mind except killing him. Please, Lisa. Give him another chance and try harder this time. I'll encourage him to be on his best behavior. Try to look at him without judgment and bias. He does bad things. Yes, he does. But he only does it to get back at those people who have hurt him. He is troubled and

I whispered, rubbing her back gently. “Maybe someone like me can’t ever start over,” she sobbed. “It’s too late. I just wanted a normal life… peace… happiness. But it feels impossible. The stain on my body and soul—it won’t come off.” I couldn’t hold back. I hugged her tightly, heart aching. That’s how the world treats people who’ve made mistakes—like redemption is a fairytale. “Lia, trust me. God’s not asleep. You’ll find happiness too,” I whispered.
