The Last Gunslinger Novels & Stories

Peyton stared at my face for a long time before he finally pointed at me through gritted teeth. "Officer, it's her! My employees have gathered sufficient evidence. The arsonist is Serena Snow! Please arrest her immediately. Sentence her, lock her up—whatever the law requires!" The investigating officers were shocked when they saw my half-dead state. "You're saying she's the arsonist? She looks like she's dying!" Peyton immediately shot back, "That's what she deserves!"

“I’ve survived worse than Dimitri. I’ll come back. And when I do, this will be over.” He released me, walked to the safe, pulled out a small silver pistol. Pressed it into my hand. “If anyone comes through that door who isn’t me, you shoot. No hesitation.” I stared at the gun like it was alive. “I can’t—” “You can. And you will. For our baby.” He kissed my forehead, then my stomach, then my lips one last time. “I love you, Eden Aslanov. More than my life. More than my vengeance. Remember that when you’re scared.”

He really doesn’t have anything better to do right now. “And, you kinda owe me for helping you last time.” Claude raised his hand and showed Jai the bandaged hand where the guy was stabbed before. Jai grimaced. “Does that still hurt?” Claude lowered his hand. “Just itchy at times. It’s healing. The poison is already cleared out most of it.” “Thank goodness. Yeah. So, I owe you. What do you want?” Jai asked. “Aside from the fact that you have been attracting trouble wherever you go, you’re also looking for criminals today. Wanna tell me the real reason you’re here?” The hunter asked, glancing at him.

His blue eyes stares at me, the innocence in them like that of a newborn baby's first gaze at the world. His lips curve in a smile, and he stands up, leaving the knife in the corpse's chest. “...WHOA... AWKWARD!" His deep masculine voice echoes round the room. The gun in his back pocket falls to the ground, making a metallic sound as it hits the floor. I step backwards. His flirty blue eyes on me the entire time, he takes slow steps forward. With every step I take, his large foot takes five… “Just keep heading straight…" She said. Mama, I think I just walked straight into my demise.

Before I knew it, the young lady was gone! Selena Kephissa Habsburg! The name echoed in my mind, and a sharp pain rsn through my chest. That was me. The war was because of me. Tears started to stream down my face, and I let them flow freely, not trying to stop it. They dripped from the ache that bound me. I observed as the old lady brought out silver knife to herself, and before the four men could reach her, she stabbed herself in the heart. No! Oh! I let out a loud scream as I hurried to her side, holding her close, sobbing uncontrollably.

It’s my last link to Aiden. The paramedics tell me to hold on a little longer and I hear one of the nurses snap at Lilith telling her that now is not the time for this behavior. That’s the last thing I heard before my world went black.

While sipping the aromatic schnapps at intervals, a stick of St Moritz cigarette clung between the fore and middle finger of his right hand. The glass of schnapps was half full, as he thought of his mother. He had never had a ‘normal’ period in his life. This was the sole reason his mother always pestered him to get married, whenever she had the opportunity to see him. At forty-three, there was not much he could do as a new entrant in any Government agency, parastatal or organisation. He’d been dismissed from the Mobile Police force for complicity in a kidnap case, before opting to be a hired killer.

His disappearance is the only way to restore the peace in Ehtrehto Edis. Yquino's death is the main goal of the Guardians of Lights. He will only die, temporarily, if my father, King Hydrae, dies. And this means killing my father on my hand. I accepted this fact since the day I learned about my fate as one of the guardians of lights. Inside me, I know I contributed a lot for today's war to begin. Hunter's comeback is the realization of all of these. My father conspired with Ruth to kill him. But Ruth couldn't do it to him so she just cast a spell on him sending him into the human world. When she was betrayed by my father and Queen Khan Awae, she used her power and uttered a ritual that would

It was deep, controlled, and devoid of anger, the kind of voice that never needed to shout. "I... I can pay you." "No." "I'll disappear." "No." "You'll never hear from me again." "I know." After a brief pause, a single gunshot exploded through the hall, vibrating the music stand beside Elena from the sheer force of the blast. The body hit the floor seconds later. The killer didn’t move immediately. He stood there, listening, just as she was. Elena lowered her breathing until it was barely noticeable, but as she shifted, her piano bench creaked beneath her weight. It was too loud, far too loud.

he smiled back, “Do you forgive him?” “I do. You’re bloody smart, you know that” “Yeah, I know” I chuckled and flicked my hair over my shoulder. Smith took a deep breath and looked out over the pack grounds. “I think it may have been for the best you know, with how things ended the way they did” he said slowly, “How do you mean?” I asked confused, “I mean, even if I understand and I believe what you said, even if it all was just a mistake, Gunner never would have forgiven him. He probably would have banished him”
