The Aftermath Novel Novels & Stories

I always thought the hereafter is a place where you get to reunite with the people you loved, spending your eternity in their company. I was wrong. It’s nothing like that.

I don’t even care that I’m all alone. “Willow?”

As the meeting ended, I followed Aiden to the boundary, where I saw the dead bodies of the rogues. I slowly emerged from the rubble of what was once a grand cathedral. The air was thick with smoke and the acrid smell of death. The sound of gunfire had ceased, but the echoes of battle still rang in my ears.

How am I supposed to find the eldest woman in a ghost town? A heavy thud startled me. I spun around to see Novel sliding from Kitty’s back, hitting the dirt. I rushed to her side, my heart hammering against my ribs. I wanted to roar at the wolf, who at least had the grace to look guilty, but the sight of Novel’s pale, unconscious face silenced my anger.

Inside, the groom who refused the altar was naked in my bed, full of me, and still choosing the fire. I held him and stared at the ceiling and understood something I hadn’t let myself understand in the hotel. This wasn’t the end of the fallout. This was the first real day of the life that came after it. And the life after it was already asking what we were willing to burn next.
