Awakened Novels & Stories

"He's changed hasn't he. I hadn't noticed it until the other night when you left. He lost control but not in the way that you think. You did something unexpected beyond his gaze and it infuriated him." "What are you talking about? Just tell me already," I raised my voice slightly, feeling frustrated and agitated. I just wanted somebody to say the words that I had been in denial about since the moment his knee connected with my father's skull. "Prime has awakened," he said the three dreaded words. "How do you know that," I asked slowly, watching the swirls of the mark on my arm. It vaguely resembled the at symbol but had more swirls that formed more letters. Th

I know I'm dreaming, but I can't seem to wake up. When I wake up, my throat is raw, and even though it felt like I was sleeping for hours, I was only asleep for less than forty minutes. I go to wash my face, and when I look into the mirror, I don't recognise the face staring back at me. I've not recognised her for a long time. I try to remember the last time I ate and come up blank, a girl with shoulder length silver hair, a too thin face and dull brown eyes surrounded by bruises caused by lack of sleep stare back at me. I remember a time when I was pretty. My hair was waistlength back then, framing a face with delicate features, and my eyes were full of life. Now, I am a shell of the person

Aurora’s POV I drifted in the realm of sleep but a persistent tug pulled at the edges of my consciousness, urging me to awaken. At first, I resisted, clinging to the comforting embrace of slumber. But the pull grew stronger, a persistent whisper in the depths of my mind. With a reluctant sigh, I relented, gradually surfacing from the depths of sleep. As my senses sharpened, I became acutely aware of the urgency pervading my thoughts—a primal instinct urging me to action.

It ignited a collective awakening, where beings embraced diversity and celebrated the beauty of each unique soul. As cosmic travelers ventured through the realms, they encountered portals of transformation known as "Luna Gates of Awakening." These gateways shimmered with ethereal light, beckoning seekers to step through and embark on profound inner journeys. Beyond the gates, individuals faced their fears, confronted their shadows, and emerged with a renewed sense of self. These transformative experiences propelled them forward on the path of authenticity, guiding them to align their thoughts, actions, and purpose with their truest selves.

Instead, I noticed fear and uncertainty in his eyes. At that instant, I realized the complexity of the situation unfolding before me. The Awakened weren't just adversaries; they truly felt justified in their actions, despite the nature of their methods. “Hold on,” I called out, gently raising my hand. “Let me give this a shot first.” Without waiting for their protests, I boldly moved into the open space, my arms extended high in a peaceful gesture. “Please, stop the ritual,” I yelled, my voice echoing in the sudden quiet that had surrounded us. “You don't understand what you're getting into.”

Okay, this had to be a joke of some sort. “What is awakening?” She blinked, looking genuinely confused. “You did the ritual, didn't you?” I shook my head, certain the confused look on her face mirrored mine. “The book,” she pointed. “You spoke the word… you placed your hand on the mark. You activated the summoning.” I shook my head, still trying to wrap my head around this. “I just read something from that book. I didn’t know it meant anything.” Elarien floated a bit closer, but stayed at a cautious distance. “Well regardless, you did awaken me, the book is a catalyst to my soul.” she turned around as if taking in the room.

“And I’ve been asleep… how long?” “Two hours max..” I glanced down at my hands. They trembled slightly and I wondered what was going on with me. “I feel strange,” I admitted. “Stronger. Like something is moving inside me that wasn’t there before.” Kaius watched me carefully, his gaze softening. “That’s because something changed,” he said. “You awakened.” I lifted my eyes sharply. “Awakened?” He nodded. “Sometimes power lies dormant, buried under fear or suppression. When it surfaces all at once, the body fights it. That’s what happened to you.”

I choked out. “No.” His grip tightened. “It is beginning.” “What is beginning?” His voice was barely a whisper. “The awakening.” My eyes flew open as light exploded through my entire body. And the world vanished.

My tears mixed with the storm building around me. Then my bones began to snap. My fingers twisted, my arms elongating, my spine arching violently as something deep inside me broke free. “What—what’s happening?” I gasped, screaming through clenched teeth. Aiyana’s voice trembled but was decisive. “It’s time. The pain triggered the sealed opened. You are awakening.” I couldn’t speak anymore. I fell to the ground, shaking uncontrollably as my body transformed. The pain was unbearable, worse than death itself. Every bone, every nerve tore apart and rebuilt itself in seconds.

“This is the antidote. It will clear the poison completely from your system.” I stared at the vial. My thoughts moved too fast, colliding with each other. “So Maribel forced you to poison me. But because of who I am, it failed.” “Yes,” she said. “And not just that. The threat to your child triggered the awakening. Your body responded fully. You’re Luna-born now in every sense, Karin. Awake. Complete. You have access to power you’ve never touched before.” As if her words unlocked a door inside me, I felt it happen. Something settled into place. The awareness deepened. I could sense the guards outside my room. Their tension. Their loyalty to the Nightfall Pack. Their unease about the alarms an
