Paranoia Heartsteel Novels & Stories

“Kade brings out the parexilla.” Fear flashes in the Beta's eyes. “You didn't say anything about parexilla.” “Why does it matter if you are sure of your innocence?" I state causally. We all know very well why it matters. Parexilla is a toxin that shuts down shifters' mental defences. It's often used in combination with a faint ability of suggestion to create the perfect truth cocktail. With Parexilla in their system, Kade could ask them anything, and they would tell him.

Dax POV The shard sang like a thing alive. I had held metal before — knives, arrowheads, the odd coin warmed by a pocket — but this was different. It thrummed under my palm with a low hunger that crawled along my bones. It sat in Aya’s circle like a small black heart, veins of silver pulsing slow as breath. I couldn’t stop staring at it. The lamplight in her apothecary threw the veins into little rivers that seemed to shift when I blinked.

He was measuring, calculating, as if each strike was a move on a board only he understood. Outside, the rider’s hand lingered against the door, their head bowed slightly, as though listening. From this side of the steel, the muffled sounds of the brawl bled into the night—a grunt, a crash, the unmistakable rhythm of violence. The rider didn’t move yet. They only shifted their weight, settling into an almost predatory stillness, their silhouette a patient outline against the faint gleam of moonlight. Inside, Cass caught her breath, unaware that the storm was no longer just within the warehouse.

Maybe not ever. "Lisa baby please come back to me!" he shouted, as if calling me would summon me to him. His voice cracked. The same man who dominated every room, who commanded fear and loyalty, now sounded like a lost boy. Desperate. Wrecked. But I didn’t move. Couldn’t. My body was paralyzed by fear, pain, betrayal. I knew I couldn’t hide forever. But at that moment, I just needed the world to pause. To stop spinning so fast.

he whispered, but he did it damn close to my neck. I got goosebumps, and trembled against his chest as I felt his ink-covered hand grip the doorknob and turn it. No, I didn't want to be afraid even though he seemed like a damn psychopath about to dismember me in the basement of a fraternity while throwing a party. It was definitely movie material. "I still don't fear you, Andra," he said. I got goosebumps when we descended, and I realized the music and shouts were still audible; I felt isolated in the darkness.

Then she opened the door. She could hear her rapid heartbeat like a drum being beaten the moment her eyes met Darius's. Her cheeks burned as heat rose from her core at the sight of his perfect muscular body. Darius was sitting on the bed facing her with the doctor standing near him, treating the stab wound to his chest. He was half naked. He was only wearing his trousers. The butler who was standing near them turned to Aurora and bowed politely to her. Aurora closed the door, walked over, and stood next to the butler. It was clear on her face that she was so nervous.

With a short breath, she took her hand on her throbbing forehead, then asked herself softly, "What's wrong with me?" That guy... my gosh, he amazing guy was driving her crazy. Tabitha trembled. There was a warm sensation on her thigh. She thought because of the effect of her shorts pants, but now she is willing to feel from within. She pressed her hands on the tops of her breasts, hoping that her body would get back to normal. The pregnant hormones she had read about seemed to be true. "Can I help you?" Tabitha jumped when she heard the voice so close behind her. "Wh-what? Oh, no. What would you like to drink? Coke, right?"

AMORA Nerves were killing me I could actually hear my heart beat from my chest. What the fuck was I doing? Why did I agree to this? God couldn't I tell Tyra that I already had plans when the internship ends. But then again I'd be having nothing and totally wind up homeless... "Please breathe.. I don't want you dying in my office." Tyra said walking in and I sighed, "like can't they do this Skype thing when I'm in bed wearing my PJs and definitely NOT today."

He remained on his seat while looking at me curiously. "Yearn for my yes. Telling you that I like you too doesn't mean I already said my yes. Prove yourself first!" Then I stuck my tounge out and went out of the rooftop. Upon closing the door, I could feel the heat that resting on my cheeks and the rapidly beating of my heart in my chest. It felt like any moment from now, my heart would make an explosion inside my ribcage. Parker is the only person who could do such things on me.

" I frowned at her while she shook her head in fear. "No sir, she is not feeling quite well so she won't be able to report today." She dropped the bombshell the same time my heart skipped a bit. "What the hell happened to her?" I hollered with eyes as wide as a saucepan. "She is suffering from a heart disease." She knotted her hands together. "What the hell are you talking about?" I slammed my fist on her table, making her panic. "Her boyfriend broke her heart so she is mentally unstable and she is nursing her heartache." She looked at the floor, fear evidently written on her.
