Beyond The Boundary Novels & Stories

he suggested. “Exactly. But what realm? Is it some kind of other dimension? A parallel universe?” He tugged at my chain. I stumbled towards him, gritting my teeth in anger as he smirked. He rose, towering over me. “Have you ever stood upon the sea strand, Callie? Your feet touch the earth, but waves kiss your skin- you are neither on the ocean nor the land. It is a between-place, a place of change and ever-shifting sand. Footprints vanish; the tide advances, then recedes. That is the nature of the Border,” he said sagely.

I didn't dare look behind me. But it followed. I could feel it. The thing from beyond. When we reached the water's edge, I collapsed to my knees. The river should've offered safety, sanctuary. But it boiled, bubbles rising, steam rising higher. Malen cried out and fell, convulsing. His body twisted unnaturally, veins glowing a violent purple. I screamed and reached for him. I wanted to save him at all costs. He didn't deserve so much pain. It hurt me to see him like this.

The noise of the city returned—honking cars, chatter, the rush of footsteps—but Sophia felt detached from it all. She reached her car, sat in the driver’s seat, and just stared at the steering wheel. Mrs. Hale’s words echoed in her mind: Sometimes, searching for answers leads to doors that shouldn’t be opened. Her hands trembled as she started the engine. --- The drive home blurred by in silence. When she finally arrived, the house was calm—the twins asleep, the faint sound of the TV coming from the living room. Emma greeted her quietly, asking if she’d eaten. Sophia just nodded absently and climbed the stairs.

“It is just staying exactly where everything overlaps.” Lucien’s voice lowered slightly. “And we are still inside that overlap.” The child nodded. “Yes.” Serah exhaled. “That sounds like being permanently inside a shared moment.” Rowan added quietly. “A moment that refuses to end.” Elara shook her head slightly. “Not refuses.” A pause. “Cannot define ending as separate from continuation.” The Blood God spoke in a low tone. “That is the final removal of boundary logic.” Lucien looked at Evelyn. “This is no longer transformation.”

I feel my awareness expanding, sensing the world not just through human or wolf perception but something much broader. There—in the spaces between physical reality, in the gaps between what we can normally perceive—I begin to identify the boundaries. They're like translucent membranes, vibrating with increasing intensity as pressure builds from the other side. Not solid walls but permeable barriers designed to regulate flow between realms rather than block it completely.

The light softened, dimming to a gentle pulse again. > “Then remember.” And just like that, the connection faded. --- Later — The Council Chambers Hours had passed, and the delegates still argued, their voices layered but purposeful. Sophia sat at the circular table with Elise and Raven, exhaustion weighing on them. “It’s aware of its impact,” Elise said, rubbing her temples. “But not boundaries. It doesn’t understand where humanity ends and it begins.” Raven leaned forward. “Maybe it never will. Maybe the boundary isn’t supposed to exist.”

She loved how novels could transport her to another world, introducing her to new characters and stories that stirred her imagination and emotions. Suddenly a notification in her phone roused her out of the world of reading. She hesitated after looking at the unknown number in her phone. Who could it be? After all these years?Her subconscious spoke But deep down she prayed it to be her mother. It had been years since she had heard her maa's gentle voice calling her shona. Aarunya knew that she would never forgive Trayaksh for this. Not only did he shattered her soul, but along with it. He separated the mother and daughter from each other. He separated those people who were each others only s

Katherine didn’t respond. Not right away. She sat still for several long breaths. And then, she shifted. Slowly. Carefully. Like someone walking barefoot over glass. “My boundaries,” she said, and her voice came quieter than expected—paper-thin but razor sharp, “are that I don’t want to be made to feel stupid. I don’t want to be caught off guard by someone I trusted. Ever again.” Kingsley lowered his gaze.

The pavement shimmered faintly, like heat rising from asphalt on a hot day but it was not heat. It was distortion. Reality itself bending slightly out of alignment. “What is that?” Vale whispered. Kade did not answer immediately. He stepped forward slowly, cautious, every movement measured. The ground beneath his foot did not crack. Did not glow. It simply accepted him. “It is a boundary,” he said. “Between what?” Jamal asked. Kade looked up.

That was when I knew that his ridiculous methods to comfort me were used only on me. Myles treated me as more than a patient, and it had crossed the line of a doctor-patient relationship. I started to consider drawing a line between us and keeping my distance by visiting the hospital when he was not around, and getting his assistant to help with my rehabilitation instead. However, the first time I attempted it, Myles noticed it right away. He did not shy away from the issue when he saw me trying to keep my distance. "Are you avoiding me?" His candor made it difficult for me to hide from it. "I don't think it's appropriate for you to treat me so well."
