Love Is War Author Novels & Stories

She was talking about her mythology class, her voice animated as she explained that the goddess of love and the god of war were lovers from the beginning, forever tangled together in passion and struggle. At the time he’d joked that it made sense. Love is a battlefield and war is nothing without something worth fighting for. Now the meaning sits differently for him. Love and war. Aphrodite and Ares. Aurora and him. And, God help them, maybe Gianna and Romero. He isn’t used to letting sentiment twist around his business. He isn’t used to seeing one of his seconds slip toward something as fragile as affection. But if gods of war take lovers, Dominic considers, if even divine beings are shaped

"I’m just... I'm a little overwhelmed. My whole life, I was a warrior. A fighter. My purpose was to restore the balance, to end a war. I never thought about what came after the war was won." He walked to me, his hand a gentle, protective weight on my belly. "What comes after is this," he said, his voice filled with a raw, honest truth. "What comes after is love. It's a new kind of war, Liv. A war for a different kind of peace."

It had only been two nights, but already the place felt less like a hideout and more like a slow, sprawling trap. His phone had two bars, barely. Still, when it rang, he answered before the second buzz. Harlow. “Took you long enough.” Her voice cut sharp. “Took you long enough to almost ruin your life.” “I thought we were past that.” “We’re not past anything, Riven. Your dick is still trending.” He leaned back against the wooden post, lips tugging into a smirk. “So it’s true what they say. Bad press is still press.” “This isn’t press. It’s war.”

“If we can’t break them apart… we break everything around them.” And she hung up. War, after all— Wasn’t won by love. It was won by who was willing to destroy more.

"And?" "It was the most terrifying and magnificent thing I've ever seen," he said, his voice thick with emotion. "You stood in the wreckage and declared war. No lawyers, no filters. Just you." He paused, swallowing hard. "The you I fell in love with was a fighter. Somewhere along the way, I think I started loving the peace we built more than the warrior who won it. I was wrong." Tears welled in my eyes, blurring his image on the screen. "Arthur… the warehouse… what I did…"

I said to myself… SHADRACH’S POV… Love is actually a wonderful thing, who could believe our story with Michael will take such an unexpected turn? I never imagined doing this with him; I always thought that he will be the last person that will come to my heart when it comes to relationships because I hated him with passion. But here I am, thinking all about him, and couldn’t even be myself just for a few days that he wasn’t around.

He asked, his voice low and dangerous. “I would rather die in the hands of a real man, a man of his words, a real warrior than die in the hands of a pathetic excuse like Marcus,” I said. “And my bravery would add a lot to your pack. I am willing to serve you till my last breath.” “Serve me? To last your last breath you say?” Fenrir asked, his gaze hard and cold. “Do not lie to me or try to trick me. I hate lies and detest liars.”

Even when I hated you, I watched everything. They say love is the antidote to war. I used to believe that. Until you. You taught me something else: that love is just another kind of war, fought in the quiet moments, in glances, in wounds that never make the skin bleed. And we bled in ways no doctors could treat.
