Batman Beyond: Batgirl Beyond Novels & Stories

Kallista glanced at Zander, but he merely shrugged as if to say, She’s right, you know. Before she could respond, movement in the distance caught her eye. She turned toward the house, and there, standing just beyond the garden’s edge, was Lila. She was half-hidden behind one of the pillars, her arms wrapped around her body, the sadness in her eyes couldn't be hidden. Kallista’s heart clenched. She wished she could reach out to her but Vanessa chose that moment to clap and people she hadn't noticed before stepped forward. With camera equipment, backdrops, makeup, racks and racks of dresses.

A VOICE SAID BESIDE ME, AND I TURNED TO SEE A WOMAN WHO LOOKED STARTLINGLY LIKE AN OLDER VERSION OF MYSELF. HER LIGHT BLONDE HAIR WAS STREAKED WITH SILVER, AND HER GREEN EYES HELD DEPTHS OF WISDOM AND SORROW. "THE LUMINA'S BELIEVED THEY COULD HEAL THE WORLD'S DARKNESS. THE UMBRAS BELIEVED THEY COULD STRENGTHEN THE WORLD'S LIGHT. BOTH WERE WRONG." "WHAT HAPPENED?" I HEARD MYSELF ASK. "THEY FORGOT THAT BALANCE REQUIRES BOTH FORCES WORKING TOGETHER, NOT ONE DEFEATING THE OTHER.

I cursed and stepped into the window of the building. Yah! You're not spider man, fuvker! It's the third floor you'll jump to! Noella snorted on the line. "Fuck it! It's up to Batman," I said and jumped completely. ROSE! I heard Noella shouted. “Fuck!” Dela Merced yelled in shock, then his eyes got bigger when he saw me. "Come on!" I cursed again while feeling my leg sprained by the force of the fall. Fvck it, Rose! You, bitch!

"I will walk away and never come back if you ever betray our mate bond." Kaden snorted. "You can run, but you can never hide from me. I have the power to shut down the entire territory, and that includes every human airport and train station. So long as you walk this earth as Seraphina, I will never let you leave me." The problem was that she was no longer Seraphina Mor. Her name was Kathryn Flint. Thanks to the Moon Goddess's blessing, she could mask my scent for a while. Seraphina reiterated, "I'm serious. I have the means to leave you and make sure you will never track me down."

The halls were wide and echoing, lit by tall windows and sconces that flickered with cold blue fire. We exited through a stone archway and came to a long balcony that overlooked the entire packland. Terraces dipped into training fields. Further out: the village, modest homes, smoke curling from chimneys, children darting like shadows. Beyond that, a forest so dense it looked like spilled ink across the horizon. I didn’t realize someone else had joined us until Elena curtsied. “My lady,” said a deep voice behind me. “A pleasure.” I turned. The Beta.

But she did not seem to hear me, taking the little girl’s hand and preparing to leave. I instinctively tried to follow, but a thin golden barrier stopped me. Written on it were the words, "On the path to the afterlife, those who’ve moved on will never meet again." I watched as a long-lost smile spread across Emma’s face. And as I smiled, I began to cry. In the end, Emma and I were never meant to be.

Natasha’s voice sounded urgent as she walked down the stairs to the sitting room. I was planning to go to Authentic Authentics to sign a contract with a new brand ambassador we had there. But Natasha’s urgent tone made me curious. What was so important that she needed me to see? “Is there a problem?” I asked her. “You really need to see this,” she said again as she reached me. Then she showed me something on the tablet she was holding. “Bot deleted. Account unfrozen!” I read clearly from the screen. I didn’t need Natasha to say anything more. I knew whose account we had frozen and whose account was unfrozen—but how?

He approached me with a purposeful gait and came to an abrupt stop right in front of my desk. "I am not here in my capacity as your Beta, but as your friend. And as a friend, I must ask you: why are you so reluctant to accept her as your mate? Admittedly, she may be human, but she is also the chosen one. That makes her our Queen, our Luna," he said, his tone serious and earnest.

There was a strange energy in the air, a sense of importance she couldn’t quite explain. Elara tugged on her hand. “Mama, look!” The little girl pointed to a grand painting above the fireplace, depicting two women standing together in a forest clearing. Channary’s breath caught. One woman had striking silver hair that shimmered in the moonlight, her gaze piercing yet serene. The other had golden-blonde hair that fell in soft waves, her expression bright and full of life. They looked like they were in their late twenties, their bond evident in the way they stood close, their hands resting lightly on each other’s shoulders.

" She pointed at a couple standing behind her. Destiny looked at them closely then back to the girl. They were nothing alike. The couple might be blonde but apart from that, they didn't share any resemblance with her. "You know, I would have said this bunny here took after her parents but you guys look nothing like her." "Now if that's your problem." The little girl snorted. "We're sorry about her but we swear, she's not always like this." "It's okay. The camera?" Destiny requested. "Fortunately, my battery died but I really want to capture this moment so, your phone." She said demandingly. "Looks like someone actually needs me more than she can admit." Destiny took her phone out of her bag.
