Sentenced To Be A Hero Novels & Stories

My entire body went cold. "No." His eyebrows lifted when I forced myself to meet his eyes. "You can't touch her." My father laughed, folding his arms. "And why is that?" "Because everyone will want to hear from her again." I forced myself to breathe through the pain. "She saved thousands of people tonight." My father's expression smirked angrily. "She's a hero." The word tasted bitter, because it was true. Aria Langston was a hero and I was the villain in her story.

I chanted, my breathing fast and painful. "No, baby. No. No one is going to kill you. You're safe. I'm here. You did a great job. You ran away from them. You escaped successfully. You saved yourself, Elle. You're a hero. They can't hurt you anymore." I was crying, and the room was spinning and my head was throbbing, making it impossible for me to calm down. "I'm not a hero." "Yes, you are. You fought, Elle. You fought. No one else could've done what you did. No one could've survived that. You're the strongest person I've ever known, and I'm so proud of you."

“You just looked in the wrong direction.” Yvonne pushed herself upright despite the pain. “Why me,” she demanded. The man turned back to her. “Because you are perfect,” he said simply. She stared at him. “You heal,” he continued. “You run toward pain, people believe faces like yours. Soft, honest and brave. You are the hero they want.” “I never asked to be a hero,” she said. “That is why it works,” he answered. The phone still burned with images. The hospital feed shook as someone screamed behind the camera.

"It's about ensuring it doesn't happen again. You testified. You helped put dangerous people away. That matters." "Does it? There will be more Hayes's. More extremists who think we're abominations." "Probably. But there will also be more people like you—healers who fight back, who refuse to accept hatred." Dr. Yuki leans forward. "Connor, you and Amara could have given up after the attack. Hidden away, stopped your work. Instead, you faced your attackers in court and continued healing people. That's heroism." Connor doesn't feel like a hero. But he appreciates the sentiment.

The day the new Pack House was finished, my mother, Aria, the Luna, announced the room assignments. Every space in the three-story mansion was claimed. The top floor was the Alpha and Luna’s suite. The room next to it—the biggest, the most beautiful, with moonstones embedded in the walls to soothe a wolf’s soul—was for Chloe. Chloe’s father died ten years ago in the Blood Moon War. He sacrificed himself to save my brother, Jasper. After that, my family adopted her. The whole pack treated her like a hero’s orphan, protecting her at all costs. I traced the blueprints with my finger. Room by room. My name wasn't there. I asked my mother. She paused, then spoke in that gentle, matter-of-fact ton

The class group chat kept filling with pleas for help. A photo of Chloe Smith covered in blood was being passed around, but I did not even give it a glance. In my last life, I had rushed to the hospital to save her the moment I heard the news. I never imagined that one act of kindness was the same act as signing my death warrant. This time, I would not make the same mistake!

“We’re all so proud of you, Lyra. You showed incredible courage and selflessness.” I looked down, a mix of feelings swirling inside me. I hadn’t done it to be a hero; I had simply done what needed to be done. “I couldn’t just watch them hurt him,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. “He was just a boy named Kellan… innocent. I couldn’t let them take his life.” Thorian took my hand, his eyes shining with pride. “That’s what makes you a true hero, Lyra. You put the life of another before your own, without hesitation. You inspire us all to be better.”

"Just pick whichever one you like." We reached the front door, and just as he was about to step inside, he stopped abruptly. Turning to me, his expression grew serious, his eyes bright with that same old earnestness I remembered from long ago. "Aria, even if you never practice law again, you'll always be the best lawyer I know, you will always be my hero." For a heartbeat, I just stared at him. My wolf's ears perked, curious. Hero? That word sounded foreign now, like it belonged to someone else. Someone untainted by betrayal and prison walls.

“I was cruel to you before, tormenting you for years, but... please... give me a chance to free you from this prison.” If there was one thing I knew about these characters like Aurora, it was that they were always considered heroes. They could do no evil, putting others above themselves even to foolish proportions. And, whether they liked it or not, they were forced to see the good in people until it was too late. That if there was even the slightest possibility of redemption or rehabilitation in someone, and their apologies were meant genuinely, then they had to give them a chance.
