Alone In America Novels & Stories

And Alina on the other. Alone. With the First Alpha.

Lucas will live on past that. Alone. Forever.

Marc was completely… alone.

"To be honest, I have no damn clue. I've been saving my money though, and Marta and Bill would shit, bit I really just...ugh. Well, I want to go somewhere. Do something. Between the studying, side jobs and being in that depressing house, I just want to break the routine. A change of scenery." "I feel you! I'm wanting the same, but I was too afraid to do do alone. I was just waiting on you to say something like that so I'd have a partner in crime. I don't have the balls to go solo." I smile. "Me either. Bill has kind of freaked me out over the years. If a dude follows me through the 7/11 I'm already reaching for the industrial strength dog deterrent and convinced it's my end." She laughs.

He took out his phone and dialed the number he knew by heart, but it was still powered off. He stood there, staring at the screen as it dimmed, lit up again, and then dimmed once more. People passed by him constantly, some dragging suitcases, some laughing as they called home to say they’d arrived safely, and some being pulled into warm embraces, greeted with excited cries. Only he stood there alone, with nowhere to go.

“I can’t just… accept something like that.” “I’m not asking you to. I’m just asking you to stop running from every connection before you even see what it could be.” Baby Elena started fussing in the background. Alina picked her up, settling her on her hip. “I’m scared,” I admitted. “Everything feels out of control. Someone’s following me, I’m having panic attacks, I can’t sleep, and these three men keep appearing in my life when I specifically moved here to be alone and normal.” “Normal’s overrated,” Alina said, bouncing Elena gently. “And being alone doesn’t make you safe. It just makes you lonely.”

I have no one. Excuse me, please. Can I s..sp.. spend the night? Can I stay here for a few days?" "No, you can't," Elliot replied. "Listen, I paid money for this place, and I'm not willing to share it for free." "Okay, I will pay you." The man laughed. "Sorry, I have no interest in being a landlord or taking your money. I just want to live alone." "I wasn't talking about cash," Ashley replied. "I will pay you with whatever you want."

I shook my head, unable to believe what the man was doing. "Adam," I whispered in a choked voice. The man seemed to blink his eyes. Seeing who the woman sitting in front of him was, who was none other than me, Adam reflexively sat down, and he was surprised to realize he was not wearing a single thread of clothing like me. "Mahira, what have we done?" asked Adam, looking confused. I didn't answer, busy covering my body with a white blanket.

As he looked at Bella's face, he saw his brother, Andre. "Why Alex? You've now become a murderer, why?" the deceased spoke to him. He stood up and started moving back slowly, "No, no, no NO!!!" he yelled and ran out of the room and the hospital. He entered his car and zoomed off. He had no idea where he was going to. He just needed to clear his head. He was on full speed on the free road, being that it was late at night. His eyes were filled with tears. The words he last heard in the hospital repeated itself in his ears, "You've now become a murderer, Why?". The tears rolled down his cheeks. He stepped on the throttle of the car and the speed increase turning the car into fast and furious, d

“Maerilee, if you are meant to have four Ones, you’re still missing two.” The room falls silent once more, the weight of his words hanging heavily in the air. My relief evaporates, replaced by a gnawing sense of unease. I hadn’t even considered that possibility, that there might be more to this than just Akin and River. But if Permiton is right, if I'm truly meant to have four Ones, the matter is yet to be settled.
