“I’d like to see you try.” He snarled. “Fine!” I hoisted my hands. “I’ll be there beside you in five minutes.” And then I continued to read. *** It’s three in the morning, yet my eyes didn’t even get tired reading her journal—Rowena’s book of confessions. Word by word and sentence by sentence, I devoured her confessions—Rowena being a Hearteater, her father being the fucking King of Hearteaters, her Hearteater baby and the fact the child’s father is a Hearteater’s mortal servant.

Cold. Heavy. Watching. My body froze. “Don’t move,” his voice came sharply. Too late. I had already turned. But there was nothing there. Nothing. Just darkness. My breathing became uneven. “It’s playing with you,” he said quietly. My chest tightened. “Playing…?” “Yes.” I swallowed hard. That was not something I wanted to hear. Not at all. Suddenly— A sharp pain shot through my chest. I gasped, clutching at my heart. “What—?!”

“I think…sometimes I have dreams…that they put these here to later cut out my heart. In my dreams they do.” Nizhoni squeezed him a bit tighter, holding him a bit closer, before turning him enough to make eye contact. She put a hand lightly over his heart, covering the X scar. “No one will ever hurt you like this again, baby.

he says, regaining a semblance of control, but the tension in his jaw, in his clenched fists, betrays the inner storm. — Dinner? Oh, I thought we could... skip the dinner step. I move closer, so close that the heat of his body radiates into mine. I place a flat hand on his chest, feeling the dull, powerful beating of his heart under my palm. It's a rhythm of war. A rhythm I want to drive mad. — You're playing a dangerous game, Tara, he murmurs, his warm breath on my forehead. — You who only believe in blood and fire, my love, children's games shouldn't scare you.

“You don’t get to choose for us.” Marisol’s eyes softened, just for a second. “The heart chooses. Not you. Not me. Not the wager. The city.” The staircase descended on its own, stairs unfolding like a tongue. The ticket burned in Rosa’s hand, turning to ash. The vein returned—not under her skin, but under mine. VOLUME VIII: THE CITY’S HEART pulsed over my heart. Marisol’s voice was a whisper. “The new blood was bait. The final heart was always you, Elena. The spitfire. The one who refused to break.”

That's when she saw something that burst her bubble of happiness. On the refrigerator door, a calendar reminded her that on that very evening, it would be the final of "The Key to the Heart." Sophie tried not to let it torment her too much because Nicholas had declared several times the night before that he loved her, and she knew he had been sincere. However, she was an adult woman and knew that love isn't always enough, that it doesn't solve everything, and it wasn't fair to expect Nicholas to change all his life plans, everything he had planned, just because she had reappeared in his life, and they had discovered that the supposed memories from the past were misunderstandings.

Pain shot to my heart from every nerve in my body, breaking it into a million pieces. Everyone else had a different reaction to the young man who just walked into the room. “Is that the Alpha’s son?” Someone whispered, “Oh my God he is so handsome.” Of course, he was handsome. But no one seemed to notice the fact that I was out of breath, and how terribly I was shaking. Because this really cannot be.

Anything. Her fingers grasped a small, forgotten journal. She threw it across the room, the pages fluttering like wounded birds. Moments after she threw it, a forgotten memory resurfaced, and her head snapped to where the book landed–just in front of the door. She rushed to pick it up as a fresh wave of memories crashed down upon her. Her fingers slowly grazed over the cover, nostalgia settling in. A small, strained sigh escaped her lips as she tentatively opened the book.

Her blade gleamed with an ethereal light as she raised it tall, pointing for the center of the throbbing heart. But just as she was about to strike, the ground underneath her feet trembled. The heart's throbs with wild eyed, sporadic, as though something was battling from inside. Clara hesitated, her blade poised to strike.

By the time I got to the part where he had humiliated me by not showing up at the engagement party, my tears were trickling down, but surprisingly, I didn't feel that much pain in my heart. Time indeed worked wonders. In just a matter of days, I had already gotten over Carl. "I know. You don't need to feel bad. I chose to marry you. You couldn't have forced me into it," Henry declared. "From the time I used to tease you as children till now, my feelings for you have never changed." He pulled me into his arms and comforted me. Instantly, my frazzled heart stilled. It felt like I had finally found a safe harbor of my own after floating around for over 20 years.
