Tangled Stars Novels & Stories

Kara pov Lance kisses me with so much fervour, so much passion that it is all I can do to try and keep up. The way he holds me, the way he presses his lips against mine, the way his body is moving in time with my own... Everything about this moment is perfect. Too perfect. He pulls away, his lips wandering to my neck where he grazes his teeth against my skin, nibbling me, marking me, making me his. My fingers run through his hair as he travels lower and lower still, peppering kisses down my collarbone and across the valley of my breasts.

At least my Mamma would not be caged anymore like a bird. A new driver who was assigned to me was already waiting for me. I lost count of how many died before him. I sat in and he drove us to the place. My eyes were drunk and lost in the darkness of the night. Wishing like I was one with it so I could easily disappear without a trace come morning. Or a star, high up above, unreached and unbothered by anything or anyone. But I was instead stuck in this live nightmare that never ends.

--- The stars are liars. Their light reaches me long after they've died, painting promises they'll never keep. The Shattered Star's power hums beneath my skin, a cold, celestial itch that no amount of scrubbing with marsh reeds can cleanse. Eden calls it a gift. Kael sniffs it like a pending storm. But I know the truth-it's a requiem, playing on loop.

There was a post on T*****r: me cheering at the front row excitedly, and Jayden on the center line, with Megan contract written on him. I scrolled further. The first tweet was from one Carrie Manor: "Charlie is a darling. Gosh, she openly supported a rival. I can't do it." Another person tweeted under it: "Even I can't do it. Imagine school life for the two." "The Masked Biker really reduced himself to fight over a spot with a girl. He's an Alpha. She's an Omega." "Isn't this too much hearsay? Jayden got Megan's request the second he beat Frost's local biker." That was Paul defending the post with an email from Megan.

“You are the most complex problem I have ever tried to solve. Non-linear, unpredictable, with at least three variables that refuse any known parameters.” Luka makes a sound that is definitely a suppressed laugh. “But binary stars,” I continue, “spend their entire lives in mutual orbit. Each one irreversibly affecting the gravity of the other. Neither can pretend the other doesn’t exist without the whole system collapsing.” I take my grandmother’s ring from my pocket. The matte gold glints softly in the light filtered through the stained glass. “So yes, I choose your orbit. I choose the chaos, the complexity, the mathematical impossibility that you represent. I choose to be your compass when

However, it was always obscure and out of reach, like looking at flowers in the fog or watching a moon in the water. ‘They run passively now. ‘They are self-conscious. ‘This is also the protection Hayley has made for me. ‘More importantly, how will I maneuver among them?’ The thirteen stars were just like the nine planets in the solar system. Each star was independent, but there was some kind of correlation among themselves. The laws changed as the orientation of the rotation changed. Moreover, everything on the star was also changing. ‘Wait... Why do they look like some kind of...’

It makes my head spin. The canvas is a wash of midnight blue. Bright white stars gleam like diamonds against velvet, somehow glowing with an eerie light which paint shouldn’t be able to create. The stars are hard, fixed, like silent sentinels holding the vast sky together. A million threads of translucent silver swirls through the constellations, linking the heavenly bodies in a perfect circle. A silver circle. I drop down again below the hedge and something flashes into my mind, slicing through my consciousness like a sword through flesh.

Being accused of taking drugs messed with a person's reputation, but he couldn't help himself. Tessy rolled her eyes inside her mask and wished he could see the frown in her face. Blaze always made things quite difficult, always asking a lot of annoying questions and when she stretched out a hand for the money, she wasn't surprised when he just looked at her face and laughed out.

“This truth is ours, no matter what it takes.” The path spiraled upward, its translucent threads growing brighter, weaving fleeting glimpses of their journey—Kade’s protective embrace, Selene’s guiding light, Lucas’s defiant laughter, Bryan’s quiet sacrifice, Jessica’s mother weaving her first thread. The nexus’s heartbeat pulsed softly, blending with the star’s hum, a melody of love and loss that tugged at their souls. The starfield above shimmered, constellations aligning into a single, radiant pattern, yet a faint crack ran through it, like a flaw in the nexus’s core.

"What's so mysterious?" I reached out and lifted the lid. Nestled inside was an exquisite suit. Under the sunlight streaming through the windows, every thread shimmered with an ever-shifting rainbow of colors, and countless micro-diamonds were meticulously embedded into every seam and detail. My breath caught in my throat. I had genuinely believed that the billion-dollar custom tuxedo I had commissioned was the pinnacle of luxury and elegance, but compared to the masterpiece before me, it suddenly looked dull and utterly outclassed.
