Purple Hearts Game Novels & Stories

heartless." A glint of sarcasm flashed in Scarlett's eyes. This woman may not have many talents, but her ability to talk big had certainly improved. "Don't worry, Vivian. Even if I lose my pants, I won't hold a grudge against you," Scarlett Hayes said with a grin. I chuckled, "With Scarlett saying that, I feel much better." Kody Parker rubbed the cards together, making a sharp sound. "Ladies and gentlemen, let the game begin!" According to the rules of the game, only two pairs would remain by the end, meaning there would ultimately be one winner and one loser. From the start, Scarlett Hayes played with a fierce intensity, quickly wiping out several players' cards. Meanwhile, I maintained a

He knew exactly what her reaction to him was. On the way, she passed Jacob and Sarah, who were standing somewhat awkwardly to the side. Jacob didn’t say anything. Of course, he would have seen her dancing with Casper. Jacob probably hadn’t looked at anyone but Casper all night. A shame, really, since Sarah looked regal in her purple gown. “Thursday,” she said in a low voice. “I meet with him Thursday. No formal pitch. He wants to hear my ideas first. If he likes them, he’ll arrange a time for us to hit him with both barrels.”

ARWYN I release the powder puff, filling the room with pink smoke. I scoff at the color, wishing Raith— Pete's Artificer— had chosen something darker. A smirk plays on my lips as the men cough and collapse, grasping their stomachs. The puff was laced with wildbane, a substance that weakens soldiers by slowing their heartbeats dangerously. I hold my breath and lunge for the window, but it won't budge. Cursing, I attack the window again, but it won't open. Frustrated, I give up and run for the smaller door.

Every movement, every tiny touch, every laugh during the game brought them closer: the game was no longer just competition but a subtle yet unmistakable approach, neither intrusive nor forced, but the new energy in the air was undeniable. When Aria laid down the final card and Kai won, she didn’t applaud at first, just smiled gently, letting her hand touch Kai’s by the deck. Kai smiled back, and without saying a word, he felt it: this moment, the closeness, the playful card game, the laughter, every tiny gesture, was more than a simple evening on the couch.

Pain tore through me as my body slammed into the dirt. For a heartbeat, there was only silence. Smoke. The taste of blood in my mouth. Then I opened my eyes—just in time to see Magnus step out of the smoke, completely unharmed, his blade glowing darker than before. And Jace, still bound by shadows, straining uselessly against them. Magnus smiled, slow and cruel. “You just sealed his fate.” He lifted the blade again—this time pointed straight at Jace’s heart. The shadows coiled tighter around Jace, his chest heaving, claws tearing at the ground. Magnus’ blade hovered inches from his heart, glowing darker than midnight. My body screamed with power, the fire rising so hot it burned my skin from

Pia said rolling her eyes. “Come! Come and give me your sweet hugs. I missed them.” He said opening his arms. Who is this guy? Did he run away from some mental hospital? Many questions flowed through my mind and in the mean time I didn’t saw Nikhila and Pia reaching them. Nikhila hugged this weird guy and Pia hugged the other but not before slapping this weird guy’s shoulder. “Does Ice queen still have daggers or she changed after getting married?” He asked looking at Pia.

He hurt me, I had to remember this. I strengthened my resolve and informed him I did not feel the same. I wasn’t totally convinced but I had to remember this was just a dangerous game and I could not fall for him. My body had to be lying. I told him I wasn’t interested in being a pawn for some power play, nor was I willing to give away my power to any man. I told him I am not looking for a mate and did not believe he was mine. I watched as confusion appeared on his face and then his eyes dimmed. It was all I could do to stick to my resolve and not run into his arms when I saw how the light left his eyes. This was a visible pain that washed over Drake just before the ache in my chest began.

Four Years Ago Noah's POV: Hearing the bell going off, I stood up from my chair as my back made a cracking sound. I did not even realize for how long I was sitting in front of my desktop. As I checked who it was, it turned out to be Eva, my girlfriend of five years. Opening the door, I welcomed her in the apartment we share together and she stared at me with a face which said she could murder a person right here out of rage. What got her in a knot today!!

"Игра сердца" "It means 'Game of hearts'. He said and it didn't clear my confusion but then he heard that man in front of us explaining something to the people standing around him gathering the crowd and then turned to me. "He is saying that whoever will walk on this path of ashes bare foot and cross it by reaching to the flowers, they will set an example of eternal love towards their partner." he said and rolled his eyes after explaining it to me. "What bullshit is this?! Let's go from here." he said and again gave a last glance to the flowers and turned away, started walking away from there.

The last thing I saw before everything went black was the smug smile on Hester’s face as she stood outside the room. And then, darkness.
