When Her Heart Turned To Stone Novels & Stories

Rowan whispered. “No…” Her voice faltered. “It’s impossible.” But the truth pressed against her chest. The Heartstone’s rhythm aligned with the throne’s radiance, syncing perfectly, as if they were fragments of the same primordial force. She edged closer, unable to restrain herself.

She walked up to me. "Medusa love, you're to turn her to stone, she prefers that than eternal damnation." I didn't need to be told twice that she was scared, her brown eyes that hid behind her beautiful black hair gave it away....she was scared....a feeling I knew all too well. I took her hands in mine. "Just think of happy thoughts, it would be better than darkness forever. okay." Her brown eyes looked up at me, a look that said thank you, thank you for being here, for seeing me. She looked in my eyes, with a bold smile and slowly, she began to freeze and soon, was stone.

Believing she was one of the witches enraged him. “Is that all you got?” he roared like an angry beast.

Could only stand there in his beast form, watching her approach with the kind of directness that suggested she was either incredibly brave or completely broken. She reached out a hand small, pale, fragile and touched the dark fur of his chest. “Your heart,” she whispered. “It’s burning.” She could feel it.
