Alone With You In The Ether Novels & Stories

"I have my ways babe. If it's The Multiverse Of Madness you want, then it's what you'll get." I squealed happily and hugged him. "I. Love. You" I kissed him on the cheek for every word, emphasizing the last one. "What's got her all riled up and excited? Lord knows it cannot be a good thing" Adam sighed dramatically like an old lady as he walked to our table with his hands in his pocket. "Oh shut up" I flicked his forehead when he sat down. "Tyler's taking me to see The Multiverse Of Madness as a pre-birthday gift on Friday night."

Meanwhile, the man wrapped his arms around Ether with overwhelming strength, showing the intensity of his affection for her through the vigor he put in his arms. Right then, Ether was in ecstasy and agony at the same time—she felt happy since she got to snuggle with the man she liked, but she was in agony because she had been mistaken for another woman by the very same man. While she was in his embrace, she wished that time could stop so that she’d be able to stay this way forever and feel the warmth of his body. Thanks to her excellent night vision, she could somewhat make out Matthias’ silhouette. Then, she forcefully pulled out her hand and brushed her finger across his face.

“Her final wish was to have nothing more to do with you.” “For eight years, you arranged a betrothal ceremony at every Moonlight Festival, then left her beneath the Moon Goddess Tree to face your pack’s mockery alone.” “She died without ever becoming Luna, not because she was unworthy, but because you were never worthy of being her Alpha.” Through the half-open door, I saw a white wooden coffin inside. I tried instinctively to rush in. Maya stepped in front of me and shoved me back hard. “You abandoned her beneath that tree eight times while she was alive.”

Time is luxury when death is at your tail. Serra was behind Rena and was watching their back. Rena knew these woods well and she was right, Serra could smell the familiar scent of danger everywhere. She don't know but after she embraced the power of the Ether inside her, she can now smell death. It's like all the bad smell of the world mixed into a one pungent but weirdly satisfying scent. It's a bad scent but the longer you smelled it, the more you are attracted to it. It's like a drug in all possible ways.

"You will be cleansed.” I looked at the pyre with my heart sinking into my stomach. All I wanted was to find a pack where I can thrive and succeed but now I’m facing a cruel rejection, a fate worse than death. “P—Please…” I begged, my voice choking with tears. “Don't do this.” None of them dared to look at me with pity. They were all staring at me like a monster they needed to get rid of to save themselves, a threat to their existence. The Alpha stepped forward, his hands rising to the air like he was accepting the blessings of the above. He then lowered his eyes at me with an icy intensity. “The Moon Goddess has spoken…” he whispered. I looked at him frightenedly. “You will be cleansed.”

“I go left, you go right. But listen—don’t trigger anything until I say. Trust me.” She nodded, though her whole body trembled. “Always.” They separated, moving down their respective corridors. Kane’s voice followed both of them, whispering different things—promises, accusations, illusions. To Ava he said Ethan was already gone. To Ethan he said Ava had taken the deal. The words crawled like insects through their thoughts, trying to nest. Ethan reached the control node first. He saw the circuits sparking, the wires exposed. A single code prompt blinked on the terminal: SACRIFICE ONE TO OPEN GATE.

Ava slowly released his hand. He looked at her. "Ava—" "You lied to me." "I didn't remember." "But now you do." Ethan lowered his eyes. "Yes." Ava's voice trembled. "How many people?" Ethan didn't answer. "How many?" "Thousands." Ava stepped backward. Lily looked at her. "Ava..." "No." Ava shook her head. "I need the truth." Elias smiled. "Finally." He lifted his hand. The room transformed. The walls disappeared.

He shut the window behind him and closed the curtain. "I knocked downstairs, but no one answered. I decided to go directly through your window instead. Might I say that Five Finger Death Punch is an excellent choice? You're a metal kind of girl, I see." I shrugged, and went to plop back down on my bed. In truth, my bedroom was covered in evidence of my music taste, dark colors, band posters, and just about everything a normal angst-ridden teenage girl might have in her room. "What do you want? You ran off earlier." I said, and he looked hesitant about something. "Well, I got into a fight with Abel, knocked his ass out for what he did to you. Then, my father walked in and we had a little chat

It took Cassidy forever to get her to put them on but once she did it looked amazing. Of course Cass already knew that it would. Audrey was quiet the whole way to club Gravity. She felt naked and was starting to have second thoughts but then the cab pulled up in front of the club and Cassidy hurried up and grabbed her arm pulling her out before she could change her mind then handed the fair to the driver through the front window. The line was long but Cassidy being who she is was able to go right in thankfully. Inside of gravity was insane. There were bodies dancing so close to each other in erotic ways. The strobe lights slowed down the motions and she could see the way every one moved easi

“I’ll try not to stay there too long.” As he held me tucked against his chest, I let myself drift away into the dark abyss of the Aether. I wandered alone through the endless void, with only the watching stars to keep me company. The solitude gave me a small reprieve from the weight of the responsibilities and worries waiting for me back on the physical plane. While the silence here was comforting, I couldn’t help but miss Dmitri’s presence by my side. I could still feel him through the mate bond, but just barely. Maybe I spent too much time here alone when I was avoiding him.
