Spinel Cries Novels & Stories

My throat was frozen, my vocal cords coated in a layer of frost. The quartz chamber began to shatter. The resonance I had created was too much for the stone to hold. Cracks spiderwebbed across the walls, glowing with a fierce, unstable violet light. I tried to move, to crawl away from the center of the circle, but my limbs were leaden, my nerves screaming in a language of pure agony. “ELARA!” Sasha’s voice was a roar of desperation. “THE CORE! IT’S BLOWING!”

The allure of escape from the pain and the opportunity to confront her tormentor fuels her darkest thoughts. Jay Nashville sits in the bathtub, allowing the cold water to cascade over his body, soaking his clothes. It's his chosen outlet for mourning, a way to let his pain escape. Tears elude him, for he was never taught how to cry, but the heaviness in his heart is palpable. Thoughts of Nora and the child that could have consumed him, taunting him with what might have been if only he had made different choices.

Caroline, a she-wolf who has been considered a monster since she was a child, can she break the tragedy spell and find her MATE?

Wylan handed Nicholas some Ice-cubes and he poured water over Carter's body. Nicholas bent down to Carter's level and he grabbed Carter's face in his hand and made him look into his eyes. "She" cry "Is" cry "Mine" cry. At this point, Carter was crying out in pain everytime Nicholas took a break from speaking and put an ice-cube on his burns. How much more cruel can he get? Ice-cube on fresh burns is a deadly combo and it makes the skin itch and burn to the extremes. Carter was crying and panting heavily at this point.

His eyes glowing blue and his smile threatens to turn into laughter. The girl screams and runs away with blood dripping down her neck. Marcel eyes the sphinx and searches for a way to escape. “Don’t do that. Don’t try to run,” Samuel says. “Please, I did it for my family” Marcel pleads. “I did not come here to listen to your plea,” Samuel says. Marcel’s eyes widen as he sees the glow in the sphinx eyes die and turn black. The same look Dracula had in his eyes.

Whatever Ashlynd and Tabitha did to him, they did it deep and they did it well. Grunting I dig deep, digging spiritual claws into the depths of the spell, my soul tears at the perversion, ripping it apart with spectral teeth and nails. I refuse to give up when I am this close to winning everything. I continue to pull the spell into myself, feeling the strain on my body as my abdomen begins to pinch and burn. "Stop," Halcyon screams. "Something is wrong with our pup!" A sharp pain pierces my side, like a little dagger stabbing me in my gut. Grabbing my belly, I rock back and forth in pain. I try to reach out to our connection, but it is weak and fading.

“OUR BABY!” His face contorted, brows drawn so tightly it looked like they’d fused, lips curled back in anguish, teeth gritted like a man trying not to collapse under the grief. Tears glistened in his eyes, but they didn’t fall. Not yet. Crystal sobbed uncontrollably behind him, her body curling inward as if she were trying to fold herself away from reality. The mention of their child, their son, being kidnapped pierced her like a blade, and her cry rose with his, a sound of a mother breaking.

I scream. The shard comes free. The spire collapses.

“Now.” The twins leaped into action, drawing small pouches of moon-soaked salt and silver-dipped thread. The Frosthowl sentinels drew a rune circle around the spire. Kael doused the base in flame-oil, and one of the Ashfang hunters struck a flint. The spire went up in a roar of green-black fire. It screamed. Not with a voice. Not with sound. But in the mind. All of them reeled back, clutching heads or howling in pain. Images flashed through Kael’s mind—visions of rot, twisted forms, a black wolf’s skull wearing Aria’s face.

The heat was so horrible that they felt their blood was boiling. The red spinel was sucked into Chu Xun's palm. Just as he had expected, it was a piece of Fire Spinel. Fire Spinel was usually produced in magma, and it was hard for it to come into being and for others to get it. Though the Fire Spinel in Chu Xun's hand was just a semi-finished product, it could easily burn a half Human King into ashes. Since they were deep into the jungle, where did this Fire Spinel come from? How could it be swallowed by a wolf? The whole thing appeared strange.
