Shattered Vows Novel Harper And Ethan Novels & Stories

The gate between life and death. I clenched my fists. "No." Something deep within me—whether it was the spark of my soul or pure rage—exploded outward. The mirrors shattered once more. Ethan dropped to the floor, coughing violently, his body trembling. I didn’t wait. I grabbed his hand and whispered, “Don’t say a word. You hear me? Don’t finish the vow.” He looked at me, eyes dark and hazy, but wet with tears. “Alika… you saved me?”

I let you see me broken. But a debt paid means the contract is over. You said you couldn't live without me, but you don't know how to live WITH me without owning me. I am not a line item in your ledger anymore. Do not come looking for me. If you ever truly loved the boy you were, let the woman I am go. With a roar of pure, unadulterated rage, Ethan swept his arm across the nightstand, sending the ring box and a crystal lamp crashing against the far wall. The sound of shattering glass echoed his own internal fracture.

The priest cleared his throat and, steeling himself, began the vows: “Mr. Ethan Shaw, do you take the lady before you… to be your wife, to love and honor her, in wealth and in poverty, in sickness and in health, until the end of your days?” All eyes were on Ethan. Meanwhile, I sat with my best friend Lea Summers in a nearby café, watching the ceremony via live stream. Lea gripped my hand nervously. “Autie… what do you think he’ll choose?” I set down my coffee calmly. Yes… what would he choose? To be with the woman he’d claimed was his greatest regret, the first love he had owed ten years to? Or to choose me—the girlfriend he had deceived for a decade, yet whose family background could give h

Blood dripped onto the moonstone below. "By blood and by moon, I swear this vow. I, Ivana, do hereby sever all bonds with Ethan. From this day forward, our lives and deaths are no longer entwined." A blast of magic erupted. The last thread of our spiritual connection snapped. Ethan collapsed, a beast-like howl tearing from his throat. When the ritual was done, I turned to leave. "Ivana!" Oliva's voice called from behind me. I turned. She was holding up a weakened Ethan, a victorious smile on her face.

I never understood why some people only learn to cherish something after they’ve already lost it. Once it’s lost, cherishing it comes far too late. As I stepped back, I said, "There’s no going back, Lauren. We’re already over." With a dull thud, with bloodshot eyes, Lauren collapsed to the ground in front of me, appearing like a shattered porcelain doll. She clung to the hem of my pants, begging. "Sam, please, please forgive me. Come back to me. I don’t believe you could fall in love with someone else so quickly. Give me another chance. I don’t care if you hit me or yell at me. Just don’t leave."

It was like a double blow for her. Audric's voice cut through the air like a blade. "Where the hell are you, babe? It's our damn wedding!" his face contorted with pain as tears fell like raindrops. "The hell are you talking about? Ivony? Ivony! Bullshit!" He erupted. Audric's siblings and Lucas tried to hold him back, but Audric's strong body and height made it hard to calm him down. She couldn't handle it any longer and gathered the courage to approach him.

Bass' voice boomed from outside the room, he was definitely standing on the other side of them mirror, and he was cut off by Hayes who did us a favour. "Shut up, Bass. We've known her for years. Girl practically lives here." Hayes scoffed while flipping Bass off through the glass. "Just... what do I even say to you out of all people... don't die." He smiled before we exchanged our last goodbyes and he strolled out of the room. Welp. There goes the only trusty male figure I have close to me. "Hi, sweetheart. You must be Valentina. I'm Sierra Charles! It's nice to meet yo-" the lady began with a bubbly grin while reaching out to shake my hand but she quickly took it back when she saw the cuffs

So, it’s nice to crawl into bed and listen to the stories of my brother Clint taking his oath as Emerson’s Beta and the other stories of what's been going on in the packs. When she finally pins me down, wanting to know what’s going on with me and Aolis, it all pours out of me. I tell her everything about nearly missing my opportunity to claim him, not completing our bond, him ending up in a war with Lorelai because of me and then I tell her all about the prophecies. Afterward, I listen to her telling me all about the joys and pains of pregnancy and how hard it was for her and Morrigan, her wolf, to finally decide to reject Rich and now to break the Guardian bond.

If it were not because they needed to protect Harvey's real identity, what could Grand City do to him once he showed it to them? Lanny could not stop shaking in anger because of what Ethan said. Before she could say anything, Neve held her arm and cried, "Ethan! What happened to your conscience? He killed my fiance, and now he broke my arm and even took me as a hostage! How can you tell me to stop?" Clarion also said coldly, "If that's the case, what's the point of having rules and laws in this world?"

“I love you. You being here is the best part of my birthday. Hearing you say that you love me makes me the happiest person alive.” “Really?” I asked looking at him. “I talk with you most of the time and you can ask our friends if I even try to date anyone when you were gone. I have always been honest with you that I love you and I am just waiting for you to be ready.” “I am ready. I was just scared that you wouldn’t want me anymore.” “I love you and you are all that I want.” THE END Vows are supposed to be kept for they aren’t merely words that we say but there are times when vows are broken.
