Shepard Liara Novels & Stories

She seemed genuinely interested in learning about the realm's history and its struggles, but a lingering doubt persisted. One evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, LIANA approached ELARA, her gaze holding a mix of sincerity and hidden secrets. "There's more to me than meets the eye," she confided, her voice a gentle whisper. ELARA studied her, a mixture of wariness and empathy in her eyes. "We've learned to be cautious of those who arrive unexpectedly." LIANA nodded, understanding the skepticism. "I am not your enemy," she assured. "In fact, I might hold the key to unraveling the shadows that threaten your realm."

I watched Liara heal the scars on Zoe’s hand and legs that had appeared because of the rope. "Heal her." I finally made my decision. If Zoe had to leave, then I should send her some happy news, right? I bet she would be happy for me. "Except for you, no one else knew where Zoe was. Do you think that anyone followed you or something like that?" I asked Liara. "I use the gate stone to travel anywhere, so there is no chance that anyone can follow me," Liara responded before using her power. After a while, she left with a weak smile, knowing that this moment would be tough for me.

“I will try and be as patient as possible. Weird you are not resisting. Resist, it turns me on harder.“ He pushed her to the floor, groping her in places she wouldn't allow, but she did nothing to fight against his violation and stayed still. His lips found her neck; she closed her eyes in disgust as he kissed her. Tears slipped off her eyelids. She wanted to push him off her, but after witnessing the deaths of the doctor and Landon, she was mentally exhausted, triggering her into shock. “Snap out of it, Selena!“ She could hear Kiara. Her eyes darted around trying to find her, but she wasn't anywhere to be seen. “Snap out of it; you can't allow him to violate you so easily. Remember who you

She said as she replaced the gun and walked back to the easy chair before finishing another glass and heaving from the bitter feeling that slithered past her throat to her earlobes and back. He cracked his knuckles and rested backwards on the bed. He pushed his hair back leaving some connected strands dangling on his forehead. She felt tired. Eyes droopy and brain pending. If what he was saying was true, and that he knew she was dangerous, why would he risk his life and approach her? He was waiting for her so he couldn't possibly be the 'thing' following her on her way home. What was that thing? Why was a Hian Hoshi there? What did he want from her? Why did Levi hold her? 'Wait, what?'

Some could speak into minds, and those who were so powerful they could bring down kingdoms or even end the 200’s year war. For the first time in a long time, Elaine saw more than swords and shields; she saw an undeniable hope for what could be. It wouldn’t be easy, and the battle would be long, but maybe the girl kissed by luck could set her people free. The knock at the door stirred her from her thoughts, and she leapt to her feet. Putting the book into the back of her desk drawer, she walked to her wooden door and unlatched the lock. Elaine opened it slowly with a loud creak; her hair as wild as the wind as it blew through her window.

"I'm looking forward to seeing you tomorrow, Scarlett." His shadow left the room as silently as the still night, his existence remaining unnoticed. It would have been so if it weren't for the fact that Leaxandra remains conscious all this time. With the unknown shadow already out of the place, the Luna's eyes snapped open while her heart couldn't have pounded more vigorously as though surviving from death itself. ******

A deep, rumbling purr echoed through my mind. *Kiara...* Leo murmured, his voice rich with dark, possessive warmth. *Our mate has a beautiful name, Zayn. Kiara. A name fit for a Queen.* I forced Leo’s purr down into the dark depths of my subconscious, though the heat of her name remained burned into my chest. "Kiara will not be put on any list," I said coldly, turning back to face both of my commanders.

"I can feel it. You're... you're real." "So are you," Mira replied softly, understanding dawning. "What's your name?" "Lyra," the woman managed before another contraction seized her. "Lyra of... of nowhere. We've been hiding so long..." Healer Thorne and his assistants moved efficiently, preparing to transport Lyra to the healing chambers. "Luna, she needs immediate attention." "Go," Lucian said to Mira. "I'll speak with her companions." Mira nodded, following as they carefully moved Lyra. As they walked, she caught fragments of the young woman's story between gasps of pain.

Better than living without her. "You barely know me." I turned to face him, desperate to make him understand. "This bond is not real. It is just biology, fate playing tricks. You do not actually want me, you want the memory of whoever I used to be." Something dangerous flashed in his eyes. "You think I do not know the difference between you and Sera? You are nothing like her, Liana. She was gentle, kind, everything good in my world. You?" His hand slid into my hair, fisting the strands. "You are sharp edges and defiance. You fight me at every turn. You would rather die than submit.

"You’ve spent decades trying to 'archive' us. Now you want to mine us? The answer is the same as it was in Oakhaven." "This isn't a negotiation," Aris replied, her tone softening into a chilling, maternal pity. "The 'Zero-Pulse' world is failing, Rhea. People are dying in the cities because the grids are failing. If you don't share this resource, the syndicates will send the 'Reapers'—not one, but an army. They will turn these Barrens into a glass-crater just to get to the liquid."
