Power Book 5 Novels & Stories

he suggested. I nodded my head with a firm yes. I closed my eyes and concentrated on my breathing and tried to battle this newfound power which is like a curse to me. At least Bruce is kind of lucky. He only has one power, which he got that day I found him at the lake. Whereas I got nine over the years, unfortunately, this one would make it ten. A shiver ran through me as the glowing light hovered unsteadily around me. I fought to gain control..I felt the power intensify as it exploded out of me. The water in the lake rippled as the wind blew heavily as if there was a storm.

"He’s gone, Lukas. The hospital barred him from the floor. He caused a riot at the arena after you went down. He nearly killed Miller on the ice. The police had to intervene." "He came for me," I whispered, at leats feeling a pang of relief. "He came to finish the job," Dominic said, his voice hard. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a stack of papers. "I didn't want to show you this until you were stronger, but I can't let him lie to you anymore. My investigators found these this morning." He dropped the papers onto my lap. They were wire transfer receipts. From: Vane Holdings. To: Thomas Miller. Amount: $100,000. Memo: Services Rendered - Exhibition Game.

And he was right, if he'd wanted her dead, breaking into a wrecked apartment wouldn't be complicated. She opened the door. The man standing in her hallway looked like he'd stepped out of a corporate warfare documentary. Tall, with dark hair silvered at the temples. His suit probably cost more than her entire wardrobe. Everything about him screamed power, control, and absolutely zero tolerance for weakness. He looked at her destroyed apartment without an ounce of surprise, then those eyes settled on her. "Victor Hale." He didn't offer his hand. "We need to talk." "About what? How you know where I live? How you know about the files?" Nina kept the table leg raised between them.

He reached forward and handed me a folded piece of paper. It was small and neatly creased. I took it from him, confused, and slowly unfolded it. The moment my eyes landed on it, my entire body went still. It was a check and the amount written on it made my stomach drop. “What the hell is this?” I breathed, staring down at it in disbelief. Michael smirked. “Looks like you’re fully awake now.” “Didn’t even need the coffee,” Luca added lightly. Fifty thousand dollars and my name was written clearly across the top.

Savannah and Baekhyun looked at each other and Chen sighed and straightened up, heading to his bedroom to sleep. Damiontree, Sehun and Luhan were taking their places on the back garden wall of the palace. "Then what is your plan, Damon?" "I really don't know, but Kai has something I want." “Half of the Power Stone!” Damontry nodded while moving her dangling feet lightly, she looked at Sehun, who seems to have been absent since the party ended. "Sehun!" Sehun looked at her with a blank mind, looking at him with disapproval and amazement.

“And neither of us will survive if you let doubt take hold.” Eva swallowed hard, her eyes scanning the now-still shadows, her mind racing with questions, possibilities, and the heavy realization that her power was not just a gift it was a reckoning, a force that could consume everything, or protect everything, depending on her strength and control. The bond thrummed, a living pulse connecting them, warning them, guiding them. And Eva knew, with the certainty of fire and shadow intertwined, that the true trials, the hidden enemies, and the ultimate reckoning were only just beginning.

I saw Alicia about to speak again, so I cut in first. "If your friends press you, just tell them we've already signed the divorce papers. The certificate will be in our hands in thirty days anyway." Her expression shifted, complicated and unreadable. In the end, she said nothing more. But as I turned to leave, I overheard her answering a call. "What do you mean? The black box… it's finally been decoded? I'm coming right now!" Her heels struck the pavement in a hurried rhythm as she rushed off, while my own steps faltered to a halt.

On my journey back to the downtown district, I leaned wearily against the window. Memories of the past five years flashed in my mind. My wolf had never been so silent and couldn't even manage a whimper. I knew that just like me, she was dead and empty inside. How had I spent the past five years? For nights, I'd been alone, wrestling the restlessness and heat from the mate bond. I'd never slept a night in peace. When managing pack affairs, I'd faced the power-hungry elders' schemes alone. When patrolling the pack compounds, I'd fought off rogues in the woods alone.
