Alone With You In The Ether Novels & Stories

He gave his clan some and took the rest as he went into seclusion to cultivate for two weeks. In his chambers, Caleb stared at the Coffin of the Gods as it hovered before him, his eyes ablaze. "Hey, Coffin—reaching the Ether Lord depends entirely on you now!" Having reached Ether rank nine, he murmured, "I have more than ten mil, but I wonder if that's enough!" With a wave of his hand, the spirit stones in the dimensional ring rained into the coffin like flowing water.

"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.”

Thunder struck all around her in the sky and lightening flashed as she took off running towards the hospital door. Levi Sat down alone at the hospital corridors, his eyes planted on the magazine he was holding. He knew she was outside in the car, and he knew about the storm which had everyone locking up inside a room in the hospital. He had intentionally closed the main entrance, and now he could hear her small fists banging on the door, screaming for someone to open them up.

His eyes glinted gold beneath the grime, furious, shaken, but too proud to show either. "She could've killed us all," he spat, voice hoarse with smoke. "You still want to keep her breathing?" "She's not just a wolf," Yelena said from beside the altar, crouched low like she was listening to the stone itself. "She burned lunar ether into the shrine. That wasn't instinct. That was divine." I turned to her slowly, brows furrowed. "A wolf-less omega with lunar ether? That's not divine. That's bullshit."

~~ETHAN WILDER~~ I couldn’t risk anyone else. Not Freckles. Not Mark. Not even Alina. This had gone on long enough, and if Julian wanted blood tonight, it would be mine. Back at the estate, I pulled Alina into the study and locked the door. She was still shaken from seeing my father, eyes red, but steady. I hated what I had to say next. “I’m going alone,” I told her. Her head snapped up. “Ethan, no…”

Leah: (shaking her head, quietly) “You’re kind. You’re steady. You make sense when everything else doesn’t.” Ethan: (voice barely above a whisper) “That’s because I listen.” His thumb traced her wrist. His face moved closer. The rain made soft music that wrapped around them. The lab felt like another world where rules didn’t exist. Ethan: (soft, steady) “You don’t have to be alone, Leah.” She felt the walls she had built around herself crack a little. Leah: (voice trembling) “I am alone, Ethan. I don’t know how to be anything else.”

And Ethan stepped directly into the collapsing convergence light between them both. Alone.

“Alone.” Ethan tilted his head mockingly. “You want a private concert or something?” He stepped away from his car he had been leaning on, arms spread as if presenting himself. “Sorry, tickets are sold out. Try again next full moon.” The laughter from the group escalated, drawing more attention. Aiden’s fists clenched at his sides. “This isn’t a joke, Ethan.” “Could’ve fooled me,” Ethan replied, then leaned closer with a cruel grin. “You walked all the way over here, by yourself, to have a heart-to-heart? What do you want to talk about, little wolf?”

"He played us," Alexander rasped, his voice barely audible over the roaring of the wind as the station’s atmospheric containment began to fail. He pulled Elena and Leo away from the crumbling edge of the light-bridge. "The Manhattan Protocol, the Aetherial Ascent... it was all a sequence to draw the Everett frequency out of the shadows and into the sky, leaving the Core unguarded."

“And I do not. I already have Miss Clara to accompany so now go on and find somebody else to annoy. Goodbye!” “All right then, here is a deal. If you win this round of “Trip to Jerusalem” then I will leave you alone for life!” Finn swears as he crosses his heart with his fingers. Blair sighs as she lets go of me and heads to the middle of the booth to get ready for the dance. One of the older people decided to play a dancey tune with their flute and surrounded the place with a whimsical tone. “Let us give it up to Little Red Ridinghood and Rumpelstiltskin! What a rare pair.”
