Romans & histoires Marley Survival

"You… You lied to me. You said you'd marry me." "Called it. The fake heiress was being used too," the comment read. "Pitiful and infuriating." Gideon let out a cruel laugh. "Don't be naive. You were just a tool. Why would I ever marry you?" I was just about to slip away and call the police when something slammed into the back of my head. Everything went black. … When I woke up, the archive room was already filled with thick smoke. Flames were closing in from every direction.

“I need to know what’s going on. I have to know what people are saying.” “No one is blaming you for what happened, Mel.” “But it still affects my family. There's Mara…I still don’t know how she’s doing. Did she survive?” My voice lowers as I ask the second question. “Did the baby survive?” Dimitrio moves closer, holding my hands. “Mara is fine. The doctors were able to stabilize her, she lost a lot of blood.” A breath of relief escapes me. “And the ba…” “The baby survived too, Mel.”

Maru was blindly touching the walls of the sewers to guide himself home. "I have to live through this. I can't leave my mother and sister. I will survive. I must survive!" Maru was keeping his hopes up. He would not die before he saw his loved ones. He had still so much to do. Maru wanted to make his mother and sister happy. To give them a life worth living for. He'd have given the world to them if he could. He wished he could see them one last time.

Hearing him call me that made Zariah stir and made me melt inside a little. I had done it. I had escaped my ass hole rejected mate and found my second chance mate. I still had a lot to do but I had Amelia, Kyle, Dominic and Emron to help me. I didn't know what would happen but I wasn't completely worried about it and neither was Zariah. I would rescue my pack though from Elstan, I owed them that much. I just hoped it wouldn't be too late. END BOOK ONE

Marley’s body began twitching and convulsing. “What the…?” I tried to approach Everest but the heat rippling off her was too powerful. “Everest?! Everest...” I coughed on the heat waves, my throat drying out. “Everest, answer me!” Marley’s eyes shot open, and they were pitch black. Her body was still convulsing, and she had golden lines of light running up and down her whole body as though her veins were full of sunlight. She stopped moving, still as a statue and a stream of black tar-like fluid oozed from her eyes. I couldn’t do anything but watch it happen. After a few moments, Everests eyes returned to normal, and the heat aura subsided. The glowing orb in the middle of her forehead was t

“It’ll last at least a week. Granola, dried fruits, jerky, trail bread, pasta, instant broth, coffee... and marshmallows.” “Of course marshmallows,” I said with a grateful smile as I took the bag. “You’re a lifesaver.” Andy looked up with a half-smile. “You sure you don’t want me to come along for protection and charm?” Simon chuckled. “This one’s family-only, but we’ll let you know if we run into angry cave trolls.” Amy rolled her eyes. “Please, if you run into a cave troll, I expect souvenirs.” We all laughed, the mood lifting slightly, though I could still feel that thread of tension sitting in my chest like a stone.

Honestly, it scared me… “ I’m sorry.. I didn’t mean to laugh… It’s just these last 4 days, we didn’t know if we were going to lose you, we thought we’d never find Mrs. Martinez’s body, but eventually we did. We all thought she was sick, and couldn’t make it out of the bed, but she was in the living room right next to the kitchen and the fireplace. You flew back so far and hit your head. I don’t have a lot of medical equipment here and so we all just took turns gathered around you watching over you. Honestly I am glad you brought the medical supplies you did. It has definitely helped you. As far as Mrs. Martinez… She wasn’t so lucky.” Allison POV

I commanded, uncertain how we landed here. “She was alive when we came in; how can she be lost to us now?” I asked, trying to restore calm in my body. I just needed to see Marly and somehow convince her to come back to me. She was not gone. I refused to believe what the doctor was telling me. “Alpha, her injuries were severe. Without her wolf helping to heal her, there was not much more we could do,” she admitted.

There was no game to hunt, and few plants that weren’t tall, swaying grasses that were so dry from the heat of the sun that they scraped against their bare legs. Marley had changed, too. His mother had died, but unlike Lily, the loss had made him stronger. He’d studied his parents’ notes and, when his father had returned from the battle against Wild Ravine, he’d shadowed him. It seemed to have done them both a world of good, and they were by his side always, eager to fight, to take their revenge by becoming stronger, mentally and physically. Atticus thought Marley would be good for Lily, when he got her back. He would rescue her from Alpha Elijah’s clutches, and then he would show her how to

Mara worked through the wounded. Ben finally let Eli help wrap his leg, though he complained loudly enough that everyone knew he was fine. Wren fell asleep against a blanket near the hearth, one hand curled around the place where Annie’s light had hovered. The Briar Glen survivors whispered less now, but they still watched me like they did not know whether I had saved them or led them deeper into a story no one survived. Maybe both. I sat on the crate with my bandaged hand in my lap and watched Mara tie the last clean strip of cloth across Cassian’s back.
