Alice In Borderland Novels & Stories

"We're all in. No matter what." I nodded, feeling the bond between us pulse with determination. "Then let's go find our girl." We shifted and ran into the night, leaving pack territory behind. Leaving safety behind. Heading toward danger, toward uncertainty, toward a future that might end in our deaths. But none of that mattered. Because somewhere out there, Leila was waiting. And we would find her. Whatever it took. --- ## ALEC'S POV The border town came into view as dawn broke. A ramshackle collection of buildings that straddled the line between wolf territory and neutral ground—a place where outcasts, rogues, and those fleeing pack justice could exist without allegiance to any Alpha.

“If I fall tomorrow, I fall fighting for something real. For a world where our children can grow up without fear. Where wolves don’t have to rip each other apart just to live. That’s worth every scar.” “You’re not falling,” I say hard. “None of us are. We destroy that node, stop Seraphine, and bring Alaric home. That’s the only ending I accept.” “And if fate says otherwise?” “Then we make fate change its mind.” I pull him in for a kiss. “We’re good at that.” He laughs against my mouth, and for one second everything feels almost normal. Almost. We hit the northern border at first light. The third node sits in the wildest part of our land, where thick forest turns to sharp rocky hills and the

“Then let’s free those we can. Perhaps they’ll know where they’ve taken Leonora.” Alice nodded, signaling to the others as they moved forward, each taking a position around the camp. With a wave of her hand, Alice summoned a breeze to mask their approach, muffling the sounds of their footsteps. Pedro and Fernando moved quickly, taking down the first guards with swift, silent blows.

“Yes, Alpha” “Good” “Griffin!” I turn around and call and almost immediately, a guard comes rushing in and when he gets to me, he bows his head down. “Take her to Alice, she’ll be joining the women security team.” “I will do just that Alpha” Reign follows him out of the living room and I tiredly slump on a couch and unblock Adam in my mind. Now that I’ve passed my judgement, I can talk with him without being swayed. “She’s never going to forgive us!”

When I reached my office, I found Sean seated on my desk, leafing through my documents. “If you’re looking for a deed to Alina,” I said, stepping inside, “she’s far too precious for her file to be kept there.” He laughed and looked up. I shut the door and took my seat behind the desk. “Really macho, calling yourself an Alpha in front of a human?” “Cool, isn’t it?” he grinned. “No…it’s stupid.” He chuckled, then stood, hands slipping into his pockets. “Not as stupid as him—breaking into our border.”

He got through to her easily. Jealousy burned my veins. But I just kept quiet. “trouble in paradise?” Josh mocked. “shut up.” I replied. “She said shell meet us at the border.” He added, and a part of me was happy that I would see her again. However, another part of me knows she would be broken even more the moment she had to say goodbye. When we reached the border, Alina was waiting there for us already. Worried that she might have missed us. Us. When she turned to face us, her eyes were swollen and her cheeks wet with tears. She ran over to her mother and hugged her tightly. She didn’t forget to glare at me, though.

"They make songs about different horror movies. This one is nightmare on elm street." "Ah, right," Alice smiled, listening to the lyrics. "One, two, Freddy's coming for you." She wobbled slightly as she sat beside him, leaning over to look at the album cover art. "Oi," Caleb called to her. "Stop flirting with Ahmed." "I'm just talking," Alice argued. What did Caleb care anyway? He hated her. Ahmed shifted nervously, flashed Alice a pitying glance and coughed. "I've gotta go see Lisa."

I ran until my lungs felt like they were filled with crushed glass. The border took longer than I expected, but when I finally saw the perimeter fence, I almost collapsed in relief. Freedom. It smelled like damp earth and pine needles, not like Lucen’s cologne. The border guards were distracted, laughing as they shared a cigarette near the gate. Careless. They didn't see the broken thing creeping toward the line. Noom stirred, her voice a jagged melody of fear and longing. ”Eli… this is wrong… he’s our Alpha…"

When night fell on the border between the three kingdoms, the blood moon rose among the dark clouds, and a part of Alice trembled, remembering that it was the moon that Kalias had been waiting for so long. She had heard the maids discussing the preparations for the ritual she would have to go through - just as she had felt something change in her chest. At that moment, it was undeniable that Kalias was right and that something inside Alice was much more than human. After all, tears were not usually able to heal.

For a wolf like her, suffering from detachment from her mate, it was going to take her more than the death of her mother to make her see that not every mate bond could be rejected passively. After I hinted that Alex wasn’t the reason for the drought and the fire outbursts I suspected I had given her enough reasons to forgive him. And waking up to the news that the borders of the pack were intruded at night was my confirmation. She was smart, I would give her that, but not smart enough to know no one leaves the pack, not under my watch. Earlier today, the guards noticed a sneaky move at the borders. Alice tried to run away with her little niece as an accomplice, which happened to be futile in
