Only Mine Novels & Stories

"But you're leaving something out." What?" He leaned forward now. "The mines," he said, his voice dipping lower, almost in a whisper. "We want unsupervised access. We mine them, and sell them to whoever we want." My jaw tightened. "That's impossible. Giving you the mines would put us on a collision course with the other packs." He shrugged casually, as though it were of no consequence. "Not my problem." Of course, he’d say that. But I could take that.

“I understand you have a business proposition for me.” “Yes, I do. Thank you for agreeing to meet with me.” Anderson nodded. “You certainly demonstrated your determination earlier. I’ll admit I had never expected a sane person to actually go through with such an obvious deterrent, but I’m impressed.” I felt a flush of embarrassment, but also the tiniest hint of pride. So my display hadn’t been for nothing after all. “Silvermoon Pack has a mine,” I began. “It’s small but productive, yielding high-quality ore that I believe would be of interest to your manufacturing operations.”

“If you say so. Go away. Shoo fly, shoo.” “We do.” He’s already starting to walk off again, but I move beside him. I’ll never keep up if he doesn’t slow down. He knows this, and despite me irritating the hell out of him, he’s now amused and wants to hear what I’ll say next, I presume. “We work in the mines to provide precious metals to make the weapons you use to destroy your enemies, even us.” “We don’t need weapons to destroy you.” His fangs elongate, and I take a step back, wishing I could shift even a little bit so I could do that, too.

Eva whispers, as more tears roll down her face. "You knew I loved you, I only had you but you just abandoned me" She sadly stares into my eyes and I don't know how to convince her that I went back for her and I never stopped looking. "Baby, you know I didn't, I only had you too, and to this day, you are the only thing that I can call mine" Eva scoffs at my response and I sigh, " I find that hard to believe, Vin. I just feel more lost. I feel as if I lost you"

The red dot on the monitor pulsed like a slow, steady heartbeat. Lucas stood in the dim light of the loft, his eyes fixed on the coordinates. The North Mine. It was a massive stretch of land he had fought tooth and nail to reclaim from the Sterling family’s grasp months ago. It was a place of shadows, stone, and secrets.

“I buried the case of diamonds in the mine. No one goes in a played-out uranium mine, for a lot of very valid reasons.” “Uncut diamonds.” Another phrase that had a perfectly clear meaning—except in context. “Uranium—dude, you’re like that meme. The one with the most interesting man in the world, except that you’re just the most insane. A uranium mine? Obviously that’s a place you’d choose to go? Are you fucking kidding me?”

The driver looks back and doesn't know what to say. I stepped out of the car and went inside. The house is as quiet as expected. And it felt too tidy without Jamie. I set my phone down, pour a drink, and take a slow sip. The burn feels right. I turn on the TV. Of course, it’s there. Every channel, every headline. They talk about me like I’m a puzzle that broke itself apart. Every so-called expert analyzing what kind of man could “mistakenly” marry the wrong twin.

Kael I stood at the edge of the coal core, staring out over the vast stretch of land spread beneath the morning sky. Workers moved steadily across the field, breaking rock, hauling ore, and sorting the rich black coal that came from deep within the earth. This coal core had always been one of the most valuable assets left behind by my father. A “goldmine,” he used to call it… one of the backbones of Stormfang’s economy. “You’ve done well with this place,” Alpha Simeon said as he stepped up beside me.

A groan escaped Drake’s lips as he rested his forehead against mine. “You’ve got to be kidding me.” I couldn’t stop laughing. The expression on his face made it impossible. Still smiling, I reached into my purse and pulled out my phone. Unknown Number. I frowned. The number wasn’t familiar. Probably spam. Without bothering to open the message that followed, I silenced the phone and shoved it back into my bag. “Important?” Drake asked. I shook my head. “No.” “Good.” His eyes lingered on mine. “Because I was busy.”

Not wanting to waste time, I reach her through mindlink. "Sweetheart, I am going back and will settle a few scores with those who hurt us. However, I never really looked at Milano enterprises. What is their strength?" I ask casually, not wanting her to panic. "Hmm, my dad is strong but he has a mine. What's really confusing is, I have no idea what sort of precious minerals he mines. Besides, I have heard that no one could access it from the time I was born. Maybe that is why he does not love me much."
