Novel & Cerita When Her Heart Turned To Stone

“While the fires burned our history and the Silver Fangs killed my guards, the Northern Council’s elite assassins didn’t go for crowns or gold. They went straight for the treasury vaults. They stole the Heart. For ten years, they hid in their mountain fortresses, experimenting on the stone. They sacrificed hundreds of rogues and prisoners to unlock its secrets. And now, they have finally learned how to tune it to the frequency of the Lycan Queen.” The weight of her words pressed against my chest. I needed to get away from that stone. That afternoon, I went to the high cliffs overlooking the southern pass. The wind was biting, carrying the sharp smell of coming rain and the lonely cry of a ha

He raised a hand, and a barrier of hard light flickered into existence, stopping my blade inches from his throat. "You are obsolete, Kael," he whispered. He kicked me in the chest, the force of it sending me flying toward the crystal pillar. I hit the stone hard, the breath leaving my lungs in a violent rush. I scrambled to my feet, but the girl was already there, her hand resting on the stone basin. "The heart is choosing," she said, her eyes wide with terror. I looked at the pillar. The amber heart inside was turning from orange to a deep, blood red. It wasn't waiting for a volunteer. It was reaching out. A vine of violet light shot out from the stone and wrapped around Maya’s ankle, pulli

It was the sound a thing makes when it has decided it would rather tear itself in half than be worn for one more breath. Something moved in me. The wall. The granite she'd poured floor to throat. For the first time since she set it, it shifted. A hairline, no more. A seam opening somewhere I couldn't reach. But I felt it open. After a year of stone, you feel the first crack the way you feel the first cold air through a wound. On the seat, the goddess put both of the girl's hands flat against the stone arms and pushed, as if to rise, and could not. Her head dropped forward. The dark hair swung down. Her shoulders worked.

I pleaded earnestly with saddened eyes. "I hate this." She whispered without looking at me. Lifting my hands to take hers into mine, this time the realization quickly hit and I absconded the action. "I know. The sacred stone will heal you tonight." I drew a brighter picture for her. I needed the optimism too. She swallowed and gave me a soft rueful glance. "We can't live like this." - -

"The stone stays." THE END

She was loving the gentle warmth on her cheek that she couldn't help but close her eyes to feel more of it. Méah's memories started flooding back in inside her mind. The people that she loves and values, the people that cares for her, the people that were willing to go through life and death with her—she remembered everything! After this, she felt a heavy pounding inside her chest. And then pain punched her on that part. Inside was her heart that has turned into a black stone. But a red glowing light was making it beat wildly and right now, it was trying to break free, creating small cracks around it, sending the same warmth that Keir's hand gave her.

She looked at her family, ready to die for her. She had no memory of her first love. But in that moment, she found a new one. A fierce, terrible, all-consuming love for the people she had chosen, for the child she had raised, for the mountain that had sheltered them. She knew what she had to do. She turned her back on Valerius and faced the black stone. She placed her hands on the cold, lightless rock. And she began to sing.

She passed it towards me, the pebbles rolling awkwardly in my grip. “Hold them into the fire.” “Are you mad? I don’t have shifter healing, remember!” “Cillian,” her dark eyes taking on a serious, almost malevolent glare. “These stones are going to reveal your Fate to me, but you need to follow the process. Do it for Matilda?” “You don’t get to mention her name,” I growled as with a thrust I plunged the metal plate deep into the heart of the fire. The black stones immediately changed to white.

But her breath came short, and blood had begun to seep through the seams of her armor. Still, Selena moved. The Heartstone beat louder in her head now , not like a drum, but like a voice. It didn't speak in words. It spoke in truth. In memory. In price. And it wanted one. One life. A soul, freely given. She collapsed beside it, chest heaving. The stone was smooth, polished as if touched by time itself. And cold , freezing, as if the sun had never known it. She laid her hand against its surface,
