Novel & Cerita Out Of Ashes, Into His Heart

As time passed, all I could hear was the pounding of my own heartbeat. My numb legs moved on autopilot. Then, I stumbled and crashed to the ground. The roar behind me grew louder and louder. I watched helplessly as the wall of snow swallowed me whole. Right before I blacked out, I told myself that if I somehow survived this, I would be done with Cole. I wouldn't want him anymore.

Each word, a shard, pierced through the armor of my pride, exposing the raw, bleeding mess of my heart. As the first fat drops of rain splattered on my face, her final message echoed in my ears, a desperate plea that tore through me like a rogue wave: "Leo, if there's even a single ember left in our ashes, please, let it spark."

Asher's face softened, his eyes meeting Amelia's. "I understand your concern, but my motives have changed. I thought the Heartstone could fulfill my desires, but witnessing your selflessness and love has changed my perspective. I want to join your cause, to be a force for good instead of destruction." Amelia regarded him, searching for any sign of deception, but found none. She finally nodded, her voice firm yet filled with newfound trust. "Welcome to our team, Asher. We will give you a chance to prove yourself."

The cracks in the floor glowed faintly with the same white fire still burning inside my chest. Ash forced himself into a sitting position, clutching the floor to stay upright. His movements were sluggish, but his eyes—those swirling silver-white eyes—held a clarity sharp enough to cut. “Tyla,” he rasped. “Listen carefully.” Arthur stepped forward instantly, tension rattling through him. “She’s not choosing anything until we know what the hell this ‘heart’ does.” Ash didn’t look at him.

But the ashes had birthed something new. Stronger. Free. Carson pressed a lingering kiss to her temple. “This is just the beginning, Justina. Ashes reborn… and so are we.”

Slowly, I allowed a sliver of lightning to dance along its edges, watching as the parchment caught fire. The flames consumed the letter quickly, reducing it to ash in seconds, and I let the remains fall to the table in a blackened heap. Ashes. Just like everything else in this cursed palace. I stormed out of the throne room, my footsteps heavy and my thoughts darker than the night itself. The halls were quiet, too quiet, and every echo of my boots against the stone reminded me of how alone I truly was about to become.

he said, the words tasting like ashes in his mouth. The bottle slipped from his hand, rolling across the floor with a dull thud. Xander didn’t even bother to pick it up. Instead, he sat there in the half-dark, the shadows stretching longer around him, wondering if this was all there was left for him an empty room, a hollow heart, and the weight of mistakes he could never undo. “I need to do something” he said standing up
