Ring Seven Days Novels & Stories

They seemed to know that I was deep in thought and when worried. “How many rings am I getting? Three?” I asked, thinking of how possible it would be to have three rings on my fingers. Wouldn't it be too much? Or would I have to wear them on three of my fingers? Or take turns wearing them? As there are 7 days in a week, I will wear each one twice a week and stay without, on Sunday. “Anyone you wish.” Miles wrapped his hand around my neck and placed a kiss on my right cheek. “Should you want a hundred, we will get it for you. Just say the word.”

The next day marked the seventh day since I’ve last seen Ren. In other words, it’s been a full week since our tour of the Royal Medical Office together. I would be lying if I said that I felt like time just flew by because it didn’t. Each day felt long, and all the lessons were just my way of killing time.

“I’ve seen it. You try. We all die. Including you.” Rook wraps my bleeding hand in his shirt. His shirt. The one he gave me last night. Still smells like ash. “Day One,” Rook says. “You picked me. Tomorrow, Silas gets his turn. The day after, Theo. Then Kain. Day Seven, Law goes live. Day Eight, you decide who stops getting back up.” I look at my hand in his. Black blood soaking white cloth. “This doesn’t mean I’m yours.” “It means you’re learning,” Rook says. “Learn fast, Luna. Seven days isn’t long when you have to decide who lives.”

His knowledge that I'd already made up my mind. Seven days. Three lives hanging in the balance. And me planning to walk straight into Draven's trap. What could possibly go wrong?

Her lips trembled, but no words came out. Mrs. Cunningham stood to the side, wanting to curse at me, but not daring to. Seven years of marriage. Twenty years of friendship. In the face of betrayal and lies, it had all become worthless. I had nothing more to say. I turned, ready to leave this nauseating place.

"We’re good at fixing things that are broken." ​He pulled her closer, his breath steady against her temple. "Yeah," he murmured. "We are." ​The fourth day ended not with a bang, but with the quiet, rhythmic breathing of two people who had finally stopped running. The verdict was coming. The person above Richard was falling. But in a small room in Georgetown, for the first time in their lives, the story was finally about them. ​Washington D.C. Friday. 9:00 AM. ​The phone rang.

he inquired. "Your Rut is approaching. You all need to find a secluded place, away from everyone else, for the next five days. Today marks the first day of your Rut, and while it may not be as painful as the following days, the second and third days will intensify, gradually subsiding on the fourth day. By the fifth day, you all will be free to return to your normal lives. Failure to follow these instructions could result in devastating consequences..."

she cautioned. "What is the alternative?" Alpha Jaxon demanded, looking distraught. "What if the wraiths never leaves?" A silence stretched. “Then we count our dead,” she said softly. “And hope they stop at seven.” Seven. I stepped back, heart racing. My shoulder brushed against the wall.

We count in centuries.”

"I understand." --- That night, Amara and I stood on the balcony. The moon was rising, full and silver, watching over everything. The pack house was quiet. The forest was still. For one perfect moment, the world was at peace. "We have seven years," Amara said. "Until Ethan's birthday." "Until the prophecy comes due." "Until everything changes." She leaned into me. "Seven years," she repeated. "That's not enough." "It's all we have." "Then we make it count."

Ryan immediately reaches for her hand and gently pulls her closer. "You don't apologize for that." The room quiets slightly at the tone in his voice. Protective. Certain. Bonded.

Aiden studies them both quietly while Tara leans toward Hunter and stage-whispers: "Seven days." Hunter groans softly. "We are not turning this into a benchmark." Ryan grabs a plate of food while Lizzie stays pressed close beside him.
