Romans & histoires The Glory After Rebirth

“Please, send me to the fade?” “So will it be with the resurrection of the dead? The sown body is perishable; it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power, and it is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.” I repeat over and over as I try to find solace and center my muddled mind.

But this time, you’re not just a vessel. You’re a creator.”

The world smelled of smoke and death. I pushed myself up, my hands sinking into the crumbling earth, fingers brushing embers that still glowed faintly. My chest heaved as I sucked in air, each breath tasting of ash and fire. Fuck, everything hurt, my bones, my muscles, even my soul if there is such a thing. This was the price of rebirth. A laugh escaped me, sharp and bitter. How many times have I done this now? Ten? Twenty? More? It didn’t matter. The pain never changed, and neither did the emptiness that followed.

“Tear me. Rewrite me. Let me ascend.” The sky rumbled. The earth groaned. And somewhere deep beneath the mountains, the Hollow opened one eye. Because Fiona wasn’t the only one reborn in grief. She had risen from sorrow but I would rise from ruin. And when I did? Not even gods would be safe.

Who would have ever thought that he would come here alone and leave with so many counting on him for survival and success? Once back inside, the warmth of the packhouse. The chatter and action were heartwarming to Gregory. Life was full of happiness and hope. His mate helped settle everyone down after the rush to make the pups comfortable and ensure that they were well. Gregory got a good feeling from his guests and pack members. They’d not forget this yule for years to come. They had offered charity and hope too many, and the pups would have a chance at a bright future. Rebirth was a funny concept. Most think of giving birth to some creature. But its meaning was so much richer than that. It

Campbell had prepared hot tea to ward off the cold. Holding the warm cup and feeling the cozy atmosphere of the Campbell household, I felt some anticipation for the future for the first time. Perhaps letting go of the past and starting afresh was not such a bad thing. On Christmas Eve, fireworks blazed outside the window, illuminating the entire night sky. The deafening sound of firecrackers rose and fell in waves. Standing by the window, I felt as if I were in another lifetime. "Merry Christmas, Rachel." Gabriel stood very close, his warm breath brushing against my ear, making me feel tingly.

"You were reborn too." The light turned green. I raised the window and placed the glass between our worlds again. Before it closed completely, I said, "In the last life, we already settled our debt." The car moved forward. Adrian chased for a few steps, but the bodyguards stopped him. In the rearview mirror, he stood at the street corner like a statue soaked in rain. I looked away. I felt no thrill of revenge. I felt no old love rising from the ashes. I only felt a peace that had finally landed.

“Inform the docks. Ready the fastest ship to send Mr. Gordon home. Also, make sure all his cards are useless in Hurac.” In the car, Connor was still pounding at the car window in a frenzy. But he could only watch as the estate grew smaller as he departed. The woman he had pushed away had found a true admirer in the arms of another. It was then that he realized that some hurts could never be made up for. There was not even a chance for it. Everything was swept away like clouds on a breeze. Nothing would be left. As for him, he was left in a dark, lonely place of ignorance.

I will always find you. In his bare, bronzed arms, it was Lawrence s instinct to feel comforted. But she couldnt right then. Her heart felt ragged and cold. This easy happiness, these feelings of complete trust, every one of the lovely emotions Noah had shown her how to feel in every life--they were torture to her now. Fear not, he whispered. Let me tell you, love, what happens after this life. You come back, you rise again. Your rebirth is beautiful and real. You come back to me, again and again--

He had learned a lot in the space of a few breaths. He knew, just like Anna and Peter that their father had a unique skill. This was the skill called Perpetual Rebirth. This skill allowed the user to be reborn in the body of another, no matter how madly mutilated they were before they died.
