Cheshire Alice In Borderland Novels & Stories

I thought I would just snoop around, but now? Now all I could think of was getting to my mate. "Forget the camp," Alan snarled so loud I could have sworn he was heard in the nearby camp, and a feral growl ripped through my throat as I agreed with him. “Forget everything and get to Ina now.” I made it past the camp easily and soon found the border Ina mentioned earlier. “The security is tighter.” Alan gasped when he saw the line-up of werewolf warriors at the border.

I had dreamed of the neutral zones, of a life where the scent of cedar and ozone didn't mean fear. But as I looked at Marta, who was cradling her shattered leg among the grain sacks, and at Kaelen, who had taken a bolt to the chest to shield me, I knew the border was a lie. If Sharon Bloodclaw took this valley, there would be no neutral zone safe enough to hide the last true heir of the founding packs.

"Where is she?" Even if she had become something unrecognizable, something borderline evil, she was still my only sister. I couldn't just turn off the part of me that loved her, even if that love was starting to feel like a curse. "We are still on the trail, but if I am being honest, we have likely lost her again," Stephen said. He pulled his hands back, and I felt a sudden, sharp chill where his warmth had been. "She knows how to move. She knows the layout of the Borderlands better than my own soldiers."

He nodded his head in an appealing manner. “Fuck! Alright, as long as you are not leaving this pack then no problem,” Axel said giving up. “Thank you,“ I said before placing a peck on his cheeks in an appreciative manner. “So, Tiffany, What can you remember,” Jackob asked in a serious manner and I started to spill everything I could remember. “I think I know that place, it's sounding familiar to Grimwood cottage, where the white witch lives,” Jackob said, a smug look on his face.

The bond was slipping again, faint, dimming, and every second mattered. The moon fell. Then dawn rose. Still we ran. By mid-morning, the landscape changed. The forest thickened, the air turning colder, heavier, wrong. This was borderland. The outer ring of territory Josiah had once claimed. A place that still stank of fear and witch magic. Frynn shifted back first, panting, scanning the area. “We’re close,” he said. “The bond is strongest here.” I shifted beside him and nodded. Enrique stopped and sniffed.

"Figures. Just because you slept with your boss doesn't mean you can take a day off, right?" Ixora rolled her eyes at her twin's teasing but didn't bother correcting her assumption or responding to the bait. "See you later," she said as she headed for the door. "Farewell, sugar," Cherry replied, her attention returning to the TV. ******** It took Jake about an hour to reach the border of Castle Lore. He drove along a long, seemingly deserted road that stretched before him, devoid of any signs of human presence. Gradually, the landscape transformed as he passed houses, shops, and buildings.

Everleigh followed their gazes and froze. Alice and Lander emerged from the edge of the trees, their presence an unwelcome intrusion. Alice looked disheveled but determined, her sharp gaze scanning the crowd. Lander, however, seemed painfully out of place. His steps faltered slightly under the weight of countless hostile stares. The tension was palpable as wolves bristled at the sight of a male human in their sacred playground.

Alice extended her hand to help me up and began to follow the trail that, according to her, was the closest to where we were. *** "Are you sure this is the way?" I asked, confused. It seemed like we had been walking in circles for hours. The landscape was always the same, except for some birds in the sky that insisted on following us. "Yes, I came through this place. After the wooden palace, there’s a shortcut, a small ravine. We need to follow the river's flow. If we turn left, we’ll go back to the Alpha King's territory. If we go straight, we’ll reach a small, sparsely populated human town," Alice said confidently.

Cassius climbed the steps beside me. “The eastern patrol just returned.” I nodded absently. “Anything unusual?” He hesitated. “Nothing dangerous.” That single pause was enough. “But?” “They picked up an unfamiliar wolf scent near the eastern stream.” Every muscle in my body tightened. “Rogue?” Cassius shook his head. “No.” “Then whose?” “They couldn’t tell.” Draven growled low. Alpha. I frowned. “You’re sure?” Cassius nodded. “Very.” An Alpha. Near our borders.

Alice has arrived in the garden. She looked here and there but there was no sign of Sandra. She wonders where is she. She also noticed there is no sign of Chloe and Devina. As she went into the garden she saw a shadow. She turned around but there was no one. Alice got scared but she gathered courage and spoke in a trembling tone "I know Sandra you are here. If you have guts come in front and let's have a fair fight." As she said this she could hear an evil laugh in the air. Her forehead was wet with sweat but then she closed her eyes and took deep breaths and tried calming herself.
