Alice In Borderland Novels & Stories

My forehead is resting against hers when Neo whimpers, and I say, ”Nothing will keep me away from you, Layla, not in this life or the next one.” When Amy and drew come back inside, her eyes glisten with tears as she takes Layla’s hand in hers, and they leave for the bunkers. Watching Layla walk away with my sister is one of the hardest things I have ever done. I turn to Drew and nod; Liam's mind links to mine. “They are ten minutes from the border, Alpha.” Mind linking him back, I say,

I stepped forward, my presence no longer hidden. “You always did have a sharp sense of the unseen,” I said gently. Alina turned her head slightly, just enough to glance at me. Her eyes were red-rimmed, lashes wet. “Was it that loud?” she asked, voice hoarse. “No,” I replied. “But it was deep. The forest doesn’t echo unless it needs to.” She laughed, bitter and soft. “Well. At least I’ve made myself memorable.” I knelt across from her, letting the creek separate us. The moonlight pooled between us, silver and soft, casting shadows on her face that made her look older than her years.

“Liam, are you even human? My mother treats you so nicely and even loves you like her own son, but you’re doing this to her? “She’s lying here, and we don’t even know whether she’ll survive. Yet, you’re still in the mood to bring that murderer around?” Liam glanced at me as well as my mother, and hesitation flickered in his eyes. “I—” However, Mia interrupted him before he could finish speaking. “What did you say? Who’s a murderer? “Your mother’s the shameless one here who refused to leave my house! Liam, chase them out!”

“What century are you living in? Ladies first. You should be a gentleman and offer me the bed.” Raymond laughed, but it wasn’t kind. “You? A lady? Don’t make me laugh.” Alicia shot upright, grabbing pillows and lining them down the center of the mattress. “Fine. Then this is the border. Cross it and you die.” He raised an eyebrow. “Do you really think a couple of pillows will stop me?” She smirked. “Try me.” Raymond leaned back slowly, deliberately stretching his long frame across the mattress. For one terrifying moment, she thought he’d shove the pillows aside. But instead, he rolled onto his back with a long sigh.

“There were too many questions surrounding Sarah…. and her son. We needed answers.” Sarah’s fingers gripped the edge of her chair. “My Lord, I told you everything, and that's the only truth—-” “And yet,” Lucien said, cutting her off gently, “too many things didn’t add up.” Alice leaned forward. “So I followed a trail, one that led me far beyond the eastern border. And what I found…” She gestured to the door. “You can come in now.” The door opened, and two figures stepped in, a woman in her late thirties with tired eyes and a boy of about seventeen, tall, slender, and visibly nervous. The moment they entered, Sarah went pale.

***** Border of Hasteria – Edge of Elviria, the Elven Realm…. They left the bungalow with three guards and they all were in their wolf forms except Alison, Kevin urged Alison to climb on him so they can reach the border faster. Though she was hesitant at first but she ended up agreeing. By the time they reached the outer edge of Hasteria, the light had turned silver. Twilight wrapped the woods in softness. They stopped at the river that marked the border. Glowing trees lined the banks. A boat waited by the reeds. Before they boarded, Kevin turned away, shifted into wolf form, and asked for his robe.

Cassius climbed the steps beside me. “The eastern patrol just returned.” I nodded absently. “Anything unusual?” He hesitated. “Nothing dangerous.” That single pause was enough. “But?” “They picked up an unfamiliar wolf scent near the eastern stream.” Every muscle in my body tightened. “Rogue?” Cassius shook his head. “No.” “Then whose?” “They couldn’t tell.” Draven growled low. Alpha. I frowned. “You’re sure?” Cassius nodded. “Very.” An Alpha. Near our borders.

*Starblood Borderlands – Dusk* The air smelled of smoke before anyone saw the flames. Aiden rumbled restlessly inside Ryder’s chest as the wind shifted, carrying the acrid sting of burning pine. Somewhere beyond the ridges, Silver Fang was moving again—bolder now, testing the cracks Alpha Thorne had warned them about.

Alice, Theodore and Skyler followed him. After ten minutes, they reached the border. While going to the border Alice saw a very beautiful lake. She wanted to go there but she could not because they did not have much time on their hands. They finally came to the border. "Start your work, Skyler. They have to go." Theodore said. Skyler sat there and started her spells. For some time they saw a few red wires on the border. It looked magical to Alice. "Wire?" "Sshh. Let her do her job. It's an invisible wire. Whenever someone tries to enter here or go there from here, these wires will give them pain, they will feel an electric shot ." Ashar said.

It was a comforting sound a reminder of the humans who had become part of their community, but also a warning of the thin line they all walked together. Jason? Nathan’s voice carried smoothly through the mind link, low and steady. Brother, Jason answered silently. You’ve checked the patrols? All good, Nathan replied. No trouble at the border, no sign of rogues. But those kids from WA... they’ll come back, Jason. You know that. Jason exhaled, eyes drawn to where Aurora played with Malcolm on the grass. Her laughter, clear and warm, gave him a moment of peace until he remembered everything that could shatter it.
