My Friend The Enemy Book Novels & Stories

He could have died and never thought of killing me today. Even the food I bought with the last dime on me is now gone. The money I had on me that I can use to get a taxi had fallen during the chaos earlier. Where can I go? Definitely not my home. If I head back home at the moment, I would literally be handing myself over to the brink of death. Francesco. Yes, Francesco. To defeat an enemy, you have to stay under the protection of your enemy's enemy. As they say, ‘An enemy of an enemy is a friend.’

THE FINAL BATTLE The enemy's leader, a towering figure with eyes that glowed like embers, raised his hand and summoned a wave of dark energy. Maya and Arin dodged to the side, avoiding the attack by mere inches. Aria, the guardian of the earth, stepped forward and summoned a wall of flame to block the enemy's attack. The flames roared and crackled, illuminating the dark fortress and casting flickering shadows on the walls. Maya and Arin took advantage of the distraction to launch a counterattack. Maya summoned a storm of ice and snow, while Arin unleashed a barrage of arrows imbued with the power of the earth.

"Daisy has done a lot for us already. If she apologizes, you should consider giving her another chance.” Chris strongly believed something was wrong somewhere. Daisy isn’t that kind of a person and he believed she had fallen into a trap. Probably because Edward is the one affected, he couldn’t think straight. Instead, he wallowed in sadness feeling broken. Chris stood over him and seeing Edward would not give a reply, he left the room. ***** The enemy sat across a table, her face shrouded with the smoke coming from the cigarette on her lips and between her fingers. Her expression looked grim and the smoke clouding her face made her expression even more unreadable. But through the smoke, anyo

My thoughts drifted to the past. The machine guns and bombs blazed all around. Ambush. We fell right into it. I had one more day and I was out. One more fucking day. Screams filled the air. The scent of blood invaded my lungs. Hot desert sun burning my skin, along with the flames of the burning compound. My eyes roamed the area, death surrounding me. Nobody was supposed to know this location. Nobody but us. Yet, here we were. Getting attacked by the enemy.

“This isn’t the original one.” “What do you mean?” “The original book disappeared decades ago.” “So... this is just a copy?” “One of the few remaining actually.” He opened the book slowly. Most of its pages had faded with time. Some had been torn away entirely. Others were covered with stains that looked disturbingly like dried blood. Serafina felt an odd ache in her chest. As though she had seen this book before. But still, it feels impossible for her. Darius turned several pages. “This kingdom was called Blood Moon.”

I pressed myself behind a supply cart and looked around the edge of it. He was standing with his back half-turned to me, talking to two men who nodded like their lives depended on getting it right. And maybe they did. He was taller than I'd pictured, broad through the shoulders, wearing a dark tunic with no armour. Confident enough not to need it inside his own camp, apparently. Alpha Asher. The Red Beast himself. My heart did something strange. Not fear exactly. Something more complicated that I didn't have the time to examine. I pulled out my bow slowly, careful not to make a sound, and nocked an arrow. My breathing steadied on its own. This was the part where my body always calmed down, l

I know that without being told. Clean clothes sit folded at the foot of the bed and there is a cup of water on the table beside me that is still cool when I touch it. Someone left it recently. I drink it slowly and set the cup down and sit with the quiet for a moment and think about the fact that someone took care of me while I was unconscious and I do not know yet what to make of that. *You are my mate.* I have been turning those words over since he said them. I keep waiting to feel something and there is nothing. No pull. No recognition. Just fear and the awareness that I am inside an enemy pack with nowhere to go.

My skin tingled under his stare, and I felt so uncomfortable. Roman noticed immediately. He cleared his throat, the sound sharp in the air between them. “Ethan, meet my friend Serena.” The words hit me like a slap. Friend. My chest tightened, a knot forming right under my ribs. We weren't in a relationship, sure, but after everything, the nights we'd spent tangled in sheets, the way he'd look at me like I was the only person in the room,we'd definitely crossed that line. Or at least, I thought we had. Hearing him reduce me to “friend” in front of this guy stung more than I wanted to admit. Anger bubbled up, hot and unexpected.

“You see, I still hate myself for this, and it hurts to repeat or even tell you, but I think it's time you know." “After you were rejected, I made a deal with the alpha of the enemy pack. I promised to give you to him as his bride if he erased your memories of Ivan. Unfortunately, he wasn’t the man I thought he was." She paused, inhaling deeply before continuing. "When he found out you were Ivan's mate, he was enraged. He tortured you, day after day, doing unspeakable things to you. I had no choice but to find a way to get you away from him."

“Do you smell that?” Kaela nodded. Her heart thudded once, heavy. Smoke. But not the old kind. Fresh. Thick. Closer than it should be. They weren’t alone anymore. *** Think they’ll survive this war... or each other first? 😵 Please, comment your thoughts. ***
