A Deadly Wandering Novels & Stories

"Some. Not all. By my count, there's probably dozens of others roaming the state. Or not. Once Roderick died, most of them went crazy. We've got some on suicide watch. Others, we're keeping under lock and key because they turned violent and seem intent on challenging and fighting. Given the behavior of the ones we captured, I can't see the ones on the loose faring much better. Chances are most will die by their own hand or doing something stupid." "That's too much to leave to chance. These rogues, as you call them, are currently roaming without rules or a leader, which makes them vulnerable to my kind, which, in turn, makes all the packs vulnerable." "How?" "If another vampire were to find o

They formed a pathway, leading deeper into the forest's heart. Seraphina, with a hint of worry in her eyes, murmured, "Will-o'-the-wisps. Legend has it they lead wanderers to their doom." Altair, squinting at the lights, added, "Or to their destiny." Drawn by an unexplainable compulsion, I started moving towards the lights. A voice, gentle yet haunting, seemed to echo in the wind, singing a familiar tune — the Lullaby of Lorien. But there was a twist to it, a darker undertone that sent shivers down my spine.

Even though I and the rest of the Wandering Village were known as an abomination due to our inability to shift, I had always hoped that I’d find my mate or someone who loves me and travel together with him beyond the island. The island of the wanderers, as they called it, had been in existence before my birth twenty-one years ago. According to my father, the island was created for exiled werewolves who are unable to shift and those who wanted to escape the life of slavery. My parents were the first to arrive on the island, and from there, more joined, and together they built the home for wanderers and called it the Wandering Village. But, just after a year of creating the pack, the Finders f

"Wasn't she still alive and kicking two days ago? How could she die all of a sudden?" "The witch in the pack has examined the blood Ava spat out. It was laced with wolfsbane. She was poisoned to death," Alice said coldly. Then, she shoved her phone under Lucas' nose. "The surveillance cameras caught members of the rogue pack going in and out of your house. "It doesn't seem like they were here for the first time. Lucas, you're an Alpha. Why would you have rogue werewolves lurking near your house?" Lucas was in disbelief. "That's impossible! Ava never told me! If she'd told me, I would definitely have sent someone to protect them…"

“Mother of the End. There she is.” “Shut up,” Draven grinds out. He’s on his feet. Leaning on me. Bleeding. But standing. “Wren. Let go.” “I can’t,” I say through teeth. “If I drop it, the next one hits.” “Then we die,” he says. Simple. “But we die Duskbane. Not Hollow.” The pack hears it. Three hundred wolves inside the dome. They watch. Waiting. For me to choose. Again.

Sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the city lights, I couldn’t help but chuckle softly. As the saying goes, heaven watches over all. When they chose to harm others, they should have anticipated this outcome.

Both men were lost in their thoughts, each grappling with their own problems. Max had promised Diana he would leave the dark path. He had vowed to do anything to live a peaceful life with her. But each day, he found himself deeper in the underworld, unable to break free from the violent cycle. The guilt gnawed at him, but he felt trapped by his own decisions and the life he had chosen. Max accepted his fate, though it tormented him.

He reminisces. “What happened?” I suddenly want to know. “It was an unfortunate event that changed the villagers' perception of life. Jane once had a younger sister. She was playing with other kids that time. Everyone was so busy with the festival that they forgot to keep tracks of the kids. The children decided to explore the remote part of this town. Then afterwards we realized they were gone. We looked for them everywhere, and after ten minutes of searching, we found their lifeless bodies scattered on that part of the woods, with open wounds and blood everywhere.” Jordan pauses.

Her sky-blue eyes drilled holes behind Hakan’s head, flashing the three muscular men a smirk whenever their eyes would wander over to where she was. “Then, I’ll be leaving Richard in charge while I go out to the city. Check the borders, I’ve been hearing talks about rogue wolves roaming around the forest from our hunters.” The man called Richard stepped up before bowing his head, as he received orders from his alpha. The three burly men left immediately when Hakan dismissed the group, turning around to face Skye with her arms crossed and looking bored.

Alyse stood to one side and said, “If you don’t, you’ll end up just like your mom. Every bit of you will be eaten up, even your entrails!” Pain and disgust bowled me over, and I could not help but double up in an attempt to control the roiling in my stomach. Frightened, Linda stumbled back. Still, she did not mention me. Alyse was immensely annoyed by Linda’s noncompliance. She waved a hand, and the bodyguards released the leash holding the wolves. They excitedly lunged at Linda. Their sharp, bloodied teeth sank into her flesh. In seconds, Linda was bloody.
