They Keep Pulling Me Back In Mga Nobela at Kwento

"Like we should have been from the start." I close my eyes. Reach through the bond. Find that tiny flicker of Mira. And I pull. Damon pulls with me. I feel him through the bond. His strength. His love. His absolute refusal to let her go. Kieran pulls too. Bringing light. Joy. Life. Caius pulls. Steady. Strong. Anchoring. The flicker gets brighter. Stronger. Closer. "Come on, baby," I whisper. "Come back. Come back to us."

I could not move. The pull was still there, faint but insistent, tugging at the corners of my mind. It was a weight I could not shake, a voice that whispered in a language I almost recognized, urging me to step forward, to embrace it, to accept it. I tried to fight it, tried to tell myself that I was safe now, that the battle had ended, but the sensation only grew stronger, resonating in my chest and limbs.

Panic surged, pushing me harder. I stumbled, nearly falling, but caught myself on the side of a car, biting down on a cry. Don’t stop. Don’t stop. The gate was right there. I was so close to my freedom. I could almost taste it. Just a little more— Something yanked me back. Hard. My body jerked violently as my shirt was grabbed from behind. My breath hitched, a sharp gasp tearing from my throat as I was pulled backward. No. No, no—

= DIXIE = The pull was undeniable. Like a magnet tugging me back to a scene of an accident, I found myself drawn to the clearing again. Maybe it was the strange energy I felt there, or the memory of the terrifying yet oddly captivating battle between the two werewolves one being Trix (which I haven’t still quite wrapped my head around). Whatever it was, I couldn't ignore it.

Both times I stepped in close, hands on his face or chest, forcing contact and will through the bond until the amber burned the black back to the edges. “Stay with me,” I said the second time, voice low and raw. “You’re not answering this layer either. You’re leaving with me.” His forehead pressed against mine for a brief, hard second. The amber held through contact and will, but the cost was written in every trembling muscle. “The pull is stronger,” he said, voice rough. “It’s trying to overwrite everything we’ve reinforced. I need you.”

"If he dared to tamper with your car, what's stopping him from hiding a camera in your study the next time? "This time, he messed up your date with Madam. What will he do next time? Would he mess up your project and then take the opportunity to drag you down so that, as the oldest sibling, he can take advantage of the situation to become the person in charge of Beckett Group? Doesn't that make you nervous?" Every question was stirring something up in Jasper's heart. If the purpose of Justin's return this time was to take away that which belonged to him, why did he give his all to save him from the kidnappers back then?

"Goodnight, Garrett." I make myself walk away. Make myself not look back, even though every instinct screams to stay. Back in my quarters, I collapse onto my bed, mind racing. That pull. That overwhelming, consuming pull toward her. Kodiak keeps calling her our mate, keeps insisting there's something more here.

"I never wanted to leave you. You have to believe me." "How did you come back?" I asked, voice shaking but eager for the truth. "What pulled you back to me?" He hesitated, swallowing hard. "I don’t fully know. It’s like... something inside me kept fighting. Your voice, your face—they never left my mind. Even when everything was dark, I held onto that. You brought me back." I smiled softly, a mixture of relief and wonder flooding through me. "I never stopped hoping. I never stopped calling for you, even when it felt impossible."

HOLD! But the deeper force— The one tied to my blood— Is stronger. It doesn’t shove. It invites. It calls. And part of me— Gods help me— recognizes it. “I can’t—” Kael turns me sharply, forcing my gaze away from the valley. “Look at me.” I try. I really try. But the moment I blink— The pull yanks harder. A sharp gasp tears from my throat as another flash hits. The circle. The runes.

She reached out as if to steady herself. “It’s happening again,” she repeated. “This world is falling.” I felt panic rise in my chest. “What does that mean?” I asked. “You're being pulled back,” Naomi said. “Back to your bodies in the physical world.” “No,” I said quickly. “You can’t send us back yet.” Naomi’s eyes returned to me. “You have to go,” she said. “If you try to force yourself to stay, it will harm your physical body.” I stepped forward.
