Ben 10 Reboot Alien X Novels & Stories

I clapped my hands. The lights in the banquet hall dimmed instantly. A single spotlight snapped on, aimed at the center of the stage. The curtain slowly rose. There stood three massive transparent glass tanks. In the first tank was Sonny. His limbs were completely shattered, his body writhing weakly in nutrient fluid. In the second tank was Carmela, her mouth sewn shut. Vincent was in the third tank, both hands gone. Some guests covered their mouths and began to retch.

When it cleared, I froze. Florian stood there, a towel wrapped around his waist, water droplets cascading down his sculpted chest and shoulders. The bathroom light illuminated the contours of his muscles, highlighting the silver bullet bruise I'd noticed earlier and several scars I hadn't seen before. Despite my best efforts, I couldn't help staring. The Shadow Alpha was undeniably magnificent. "There's a spider," he said, his voice perfectly calm as he gestured toward the ceiling corner. "A... spider?" I echoed, confused.

Her eyes snapped open. They glowed brilliant white. A soft, sacred howl echoed faintly inside her mind, her new wolf, powerful and ancient, awakening with her. Raya gasped, pressing a shaking hand to her heart as warmth flooded her veins. “It’s time for them to fear what they tried to destroy.” Her glowing eyes lifted, reflecting the silver moon. “Because I’m coming back.”

Xena said. After a while, Billy raised his hand, and she stopped the car immediately. "Let the backup team get ready." With that, Billy took a step forward, his expression turning solemn. He stretched out his hands slowly. Xena saw a string of beads appearing around his wrists; on the left, there were white beads, and on the right, there were black beads. … Meanwhile, in Rebirth Sect, Yosef and his A-tier Malevolent Phantoms were still investigating. They had checked almost half of the population, and there were no suspicious signs so far.

Nathan screamed as the glass shattered, a scream that was silenced by a sharp thud below. The silence lingered for a few heartbeats. Then the hall erupted, screams and gasps hitting her frozen, shattered frame; still, she couldn't look away. What just happened? Had to be a dream. The new Alpha glared down below as though he wanted to revive Nathan just to kill him again. Iris felt her chest tighten when he looked back at her, but to her surprise, those cold greys softened. But...why?

They looked at her. The refrigerated unit hummed in the vehicle behind her."Elora." Aurelia said."Captain Scar." Elora said.The service road was completely still."Step away from the vehicle." Aurelia said.Elora looked at her for a long moment.Then she looked at Adrian.Then at the shapes behind them.Then she did something that Aurelia had not planned for.She smiled."You're too late." She said.Then Kael moved.

They were made of thick, dark charcoal fur, with cartoonish gold-colored eyes and these tiny, stitched-in permanent frowns that made them look miserable. They looked exactly like Kaelen whenever he was sitting on his black chair listening to council complaints. It was funny. The moody, mean tilt of the eyebrows, the defensive fluffiness—it was a literal toy copy of the Alpha King's normal face. "It's him," Rhea wheezed, covering her mouth as she started laughing so hard her shoulders shook. "Elara, I swear to the Moon Goddess, that toy is currently judging my entire life choice. It looks exactly like the King when he's about to threaten someone."

I cried out, internally freaking out as the air I drew into my lungs felt like spikes digging around my airway. "Accept SEA offer. We will find a way to double-cross them and get everything back. Fix up your face, or you'll give the media more shit to talk about us" he growled and walked out of the room. I collapsed to the floor, unable to breathe. Miguel had left even though he probably heard me wheezing. I crawled to the drawers, shoving them open until I found what I was looking for. I picked them up, my favorite piece of the item being Eve's phone and I clutched it to my chest as I tried to relieve the way I'd felt at the top of that hill.

“You’re something else entirely.” Something in his tone sent unease crawling up her spine. “Who are you?” she asked. He didn’t answer right away. Instead, he crouched near the fire, tossing in another piece of wood. Only when the flames flared higher did he finally speak. “Lucian.” The name dropped like a stone between them. Selene went still. She knew that name. Every wolf did. Lucian Valor. The exiled Alpha. The rogue who had killed his own mate.

Aslan’s POV The air smelled of old metal and cigarette smoke as I stepped into the dim, underground workspace. The low hum of computers filled the silence, blue light flickering off walls plastered with wires, scattered gadgets, and monitors that blinked like watchful eyes. “Thought you’d never show,” a rough voice called from the far end of the room. I followed the sound, my boots crunching over empty energy drink cans and stray cables until I reached him — Vex, the hacker everyone feared but secretly depended on. He was hunched over three monitors, fingers flying across a mechanical keyboard as if the world would end if he stopped typing.
