Verity Sequel Novels & Stories

Thomas tugged on my shirt, slowly backing us away from Joey. When Joey tried to move toward Miranda, she moved away from him. "Stay back." Shock and hurt crossed Joey's face. "What's wrong?" "It's money. That's how the virus spread." Tears ran down Miranda's cheeks. "You and your dad have been sleeping with it." "What? How do you know?" Joey's eyes narrowed on us. "Some asshole that tried to kill us mentioned it months ago. We didn't believe him until now." Thomas glanced between them as he mulled something over before glancing at me.

Beads of sweat run down his forehead, and he’s turned pale. “When they were talking in the courtyard…” He licks his lips. “I heard something I didn’t understand then, but I do now.” “What? What is it?” And does he seriously think we have time to stop and have a conversation right now? The new wave of Silver Hunters is probably already in the main building. They’ll reach the pool house in no time at all, and I don’t have what it takes to defeat that many of them. “It’s an old relic.” Alec grabs my shoulder. “It’s all powerful. If they get their hands on it, nothing can stop them. I thought… I thought it was just a legend, that it wasn’t real.”

"Is this what nightlife in Marinella is like?" He fell silent for a moment, then flashed me a handsome smile. "No… it was just Sfortuna—bad luck." To prove that Marinella was a safe city, he took me to all the nearby attractions, showing me a sight completely different from Brenlor. I fell in love with the city… and him. But Alexander Aldric, my father and the head of Aldric Conglomerate, strongly opposed my choice. "Selena, you're my daughter, the sole heiress of the Aldric family. You've received an elite education since you were a child. How can you fall for a street thug?

Stella cursed when her gun stuck. The car abruptly came to a halt when the bullets hit the tyres. They were lucky a road sign's pole hooked the car and saved it from tumbling. They all scampered for safety. "Where are the fûcking voices that were said to be telling us of the dangers ahead through this shit of a thing!" Skyler muttered under his breath as he ran for his dear life. *** "Someone sold us out!" Mrs. Smith said angrily, punching her palms. She was informed from the computer lab that something went wrong. They weren't able to get any signal when immediately the guys stepped into the military zone.

"Is that so? I am just one step away from happiness. This is my last chance to become happy in this broken life of mine. I will not allow you to ruin it." After saying that, she approached me and wheeled me into the fire escape. I watched as the wheelchair neared the stairs. "Are you planning to kill me?" I asked. Upon letting out a long exhale, Selena released her grasp slowly. "That's nonsense. It was just a slip of the hand." My wheelchair started rolling forward on its own as Selena guffawed. Right before my wheelchair would roll down the stairs, I held the brakes. While propping myself up on the wheelchair, I rose to my feet.

ISABELLA I had woken up with a terrible headache, I can't believe I drank so much, I don't know why I did it, something like this had never happened to me before and the worst of it all is that I don't remember anything at all after I got in the car.

Drake turned to motion towards Angel, "My dear friend here is very hungry if you can give him something to eat, I will gladly get rid of any monsters you wish.” “We don’t have much but if you can kill those damn monsters we can certainly spare something.” They looked up to see an older version of the little girl holding a rifle. “Names Alexis Romanov and she’s my little sister, Akilina. Come in and we’ll talk.” Drake stood up, “That would be good.” He turns toward Angel again and holds out his hand. Angel walks ahead of Drake and they follow the girls into the Cabin.

He stared at the pale name on the last remaining record: “Infant transferred. No full name. Identity sealed.” The seal wasn’t human—it the council. Valco exhaled slowly through his nose and tapped the comm device on his wrist. A voice answered, rich and deep, laced with ancient strength: “Valco.” “My Lord Valus,” Valco said, lowering his head though the vampire lord wasn’t physically present. “I’ve circled every institution linked to the St. Meridia outbreak. None of the infants match the profile. One was close—but sealed under a Council sigil. Beyond my reach.”

For a moment neither spoke and the break room was just two women and morning coffee and the building waking up outside the door. "The Marchetti case," Maya said. "You are well acquainted with it." "I read it last night." "It's a good precedent. I've used it before, actually. Two years ago at Reeves, a similar IP dispute." Maya wrapped both hands around her mug. "We won." "Good to know," Emma said.

“No reason, Just checking, you were acting weird earlier” His voice had that edge of lies, I shook my head, hearing him speak to me in deceit, the one he got when he was hiding something, he knew or maybe he just suspected. Maybe he’d heard already, maybe Elizabeth’s name was buzzing across his phone too, maybe he was waiting for me to slip. I smiled even though he couldn’t see it. “Everything’s fine, Drive safe, Barry.” Before he could answer, I hung up. I let my head fall back against the seat and closed my eyes. The crash replayed behind my lids in brutal detail,the sound, the glass, her scream.
