Yone Heartsteel Novels & Stories

Four Years Ago Noah's POV: Hearing the bell going off, I stood up from my chair as my back made a cracking sound. I did not even realize for how long I was sitting in front of my desktop. As I checked who it was, it turned out to be Eva, my girlfriend of five years. Opening the door, I welcomed her in the apartment we share together and she stared at me with a face which said she could murder a person right here out of rage. What got her in a knot today!!

I chuckled happily and said, "Why would I do that? Mom and Dad always taught me that I had to love myself first before I loved anyone else. Ariana has already betrayed me once. How could I possibly stay with her anymore?" "You're right. You're such a smart and brilliant person after all, Zack. It's her loss for losing someone like you!" Jason wouldn't stop mumbling under his breath while cussing Ariana out, and I felt the warmth spreading in my chest watching him grumble on my behalf.

He grabbed my wrist tightly, “You can’t start a new relationship on a whim! Come with me!” Godden sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, stretching our shadows across the floor. I pinned his hand down, trying to break free from his crushing grip. I stared at him with a terrifying calmness, “Vittorio, you are always so confident. But, how come you don't get that my heart was broken into a million pieces? It will never be fixed. Not ever.”

Then, the explanation began. "To push boundaries and bring something new to Ashenford, we decided to use the latest DC steel from the country of Mirelia. It's incredibly strong, never rusts, and doesn't deform. It gives a futuristic edge…" Once the explanation was finished, they revealed a physical model—clearer and more lifelike than the 3D renderings. Their design, a massive ferris wheel called The Ashenford Eye, towered over all other buildings in the city.

she continued to push back though I could see her resolve begin to crumble. Then I decided it was time to for her to find out who her mystery voice was. It helped that her mind was wide open and I could see all the thoughts of confusion, fear and anxiety running through. I prayed to the moon goddess that this wouldn't be what pushed her over the edge then I reminded myself, she was mate to an alpha. That meant she was Luna and leader in her own right. She was strong. This wouldn't be what broke her. “Hi Cara mia," I spoke to her mind.

"It’s not meant to stop it," Vane said, stepping back to lean against a rotting support beam, his shadow stretching long and skeletal against the warped wooden walls. "It’s meant to bleed it out. That steel is a conduit, Aiden. Think of it like a lightning rod for a house that’s already burning down. You keep holding onto your energy, it shreds your nerves. You channel it into the iron, and you give your blood a chance to catch up to the rest of you."

She said she hadn't traveled ten thousand miles to let a dying old man play the king of an empty world. She didn't use her blades. She reached into her pocket and pulled out the small fragment of the Oakhaven Heart the tiny stone that Elias had given her at the Moon’s Cradle back home. It was no longer a fragment; it was a liquid drop of pure silver light that melted through the fabric of her coat and ran down her palm like quicksilver. She didn't try to break the steel cage or turn the valves. She brought her right hand upward, her silver tipped claws opening wide, and drove her palm directly into the steel grate of the catwalk beneath her boots.

"Do you even know what you've done?" Zane's voice boomed through the cavern, echoing off the jagged stone walls. His figure loomed in the dim light, a twisted silhouette of strength and menace. In his hand, the Heart of the Moon pulsed with an eerie silver glow, its light illuminating his face twisted in triumph.

I tried again. I was trying to tell myself it wasn’t Yileyna. That she wasn’t the reason… but why was it her face that was at the forefront of my mind? Was it that it was the thought of her that squeezed at my heart? "Because we need her for the revenge that I have waited for, for years. He owes us so much, but if the heart is a person, then we need that person under our control. Make it happen Theon." He had a point… To use the heart, we needed her alive…

“Of course. Which is why you’re a perfect match for Jenna.” I pinched Jeanette as I glared at her, “I don’t think I want Stig, as my date. I can’t stand him!” “I heard that,” Stig said. “You were supposed to.” I replied sharply. Jeanette glared back at me, “You don’t have any other option, Jenna. He’s a hottie! A fine one.” “He can hear you,” I said. “He’s supposed to.” Jeanette replied. “Point is, he’s all you’ve got. You should be thanking him.”
