The Loyalties We Break Katelyn Taylor Novels & Stories

Her words cut me deeper than the beast's claws. "Evelyn, I know you're still angry with me, but—" "Angry?" She laughed, a cold, bitter sound. "Austen, you give yourself way too much credit." She helped her other team members up, her voice frighteningly calm. "I came here to save my child, not to see you. Our mate bond is broken. We have nothing to do with each other." She walked over to the field of silver flowers and carefully began to harvest the Holy Light Grass.

She walks up to Remy, crouches down, tilts her head. “Do you know who I am?” He nods, barely. “You should be begging me, too. Not just him.” “Please—” he sobs. “You didn’t just betray Kael. You betrayed an empire. You put bullets into the lungs of our legacy. And now you want mercy?” He’s crying now. It’s pathetic. Alana turns to me. “I don’t care how you do it.” She steps back. “But make it count.” I shoot him once. In the chest. Not clean. I let him choke. Let him feel it. Because loyalty isn’t in blood.

“Not like prey. Like kin. You were already walking among us while you still thought you were looking in from the outside.” Bella dragged a hand through her hair, staring at the water. “So all this time…?” “Yes,” Sandra said. “You were never alone.” Bella let out a shaky laugh. “We’re a ridiculously small pack.” Sandra grinned. “We’re Hybrids. We don’t need numbers.” Then, more seriously, she added, “And we’ve all sworn loyalty to Dave Stark.” Bella’s chest tightened at his name. She looked away. “Then explain Morgan.”

It sets you free. She prayed she and Beau and her siblings and friends stayed happy and loving in their relationships. They had been through a lot together. They broke each other yes, but they fixed those cracks with gold and it was beautiful. There was wonder in destructionand they had each other to get through the rubble of brokenness. *BREAKING YOU* *ThE end*

Alfie did great leading his unit, not a single casualty in his. My head started pounding with several different memories all swimming around. I saw a memory in which Tyler got hurt in the arm. He was being healed now but he was okay. Another memory showed me Shawn being a badass as always. He was the first to return from the mission with his unit. They burned the camp to the ground so it couldn't be used again. Libby's team which was composed mainly of a lot of badass women did well too. Libby used their machines and technology against them. Her unit barely had to fight.

And suddenly… She felt exhausted. More exhausted than she had ever felt in her life. The weight of everything pressed against her. The lies. The doubts. The loneliness. The fear. And before she realized what was happening— She broke. A sob escaped her lips. Then another. Then another. Luca stepped forward instinctively. His hand settling against her shoulder. Comforting. Steady. Wrong. Yet somehow… Exactly what she needed in that moment. And that was the most dangerous thing of all. Because while Tayla cried over the man she loved…

"But... I'm broken and messed up and have pieces of me all over the place. That's not something anybody should have to deal with, Noah." I shrugged softly, "I don't care, Tiffany. I want you and if that comes with pieces all over the place then I'm okay with it. You don't get it," I chuckled softly, moving the hand that was cupping her face back to her hands to hold them gently in mine. "I can't unlove you. I can't forget the feeling of holding you when you sleep next to me. I can't forget how your eyes would get a bit bigger every time something surprising would happen in Prison Break. I can't forget the dreadful look on your face every time you walk in to math class, wanting it to be over

“Control? No, my dear. I don’t control. I shape. I take what is broken and make it stronger. That child of yours, she could be unstoppable under my hand.” Valeria’s scream ripped the air. “You will not have her!” Her daughter’s sobs echoed through the trees. “Mommy, don’t!” Valeria turned, forcing her voice calm for her child’s sake. “Listen to me, baby. Keep running. Don’t look back. Do you hear me?” The girl shook her head violently, clutching the tree trunk. “No! I won’t leave you!” Damien chuckled, watching with interest. “Ah. Loyalty. Sweet, but dangerous. She doesn’t understand yet that loyalty always breaks.”

She had been torn between loyalty and truth, and now she would bear the weight of her choices. "Kate," I said, my tone softer but no less stern, "your betrayal has tarnished our bond as sisters. You were meant to be my ally, my confidante. But you chose a different path, aligning yourself with darkness. You, too, will face the consequences." Tears streamed down Kate's face as she realized the extent of the damage she had wrought. The realization of her misplaced loyalty had shattered her, leaving behind only remorse and regret.

“He’s loyal.” “Beau was closer to me and Hayden was closer to Tatum. The five of us were… well, Beau and Hayden didn’t know everything I had to do. It was Beau that cleaned my wounds and helped me heal. I told Hayden to keep Tatum away. Still, I worked my way up. Kyle was a lot of things, but I do believe I never would have saved Tatum as many times as I did if it weren’t for him. Beau sees that. As much as it pisses him off, he knows I’m strong and won’t break. He knows how to talk to me because he was the one that pulled me out of the forest after training. He was the one that kept my head on my shoulders. My tears messed up his tattoo. You don’t go through 10 years’ worth of that and not
