Countryhumans Novels & Stories

Ruben mumbles, and I turn to him. "Why risk it," I ask, and he looks between Kohn and me before answering. "Most human mates will have positive stories....the more....modern packs accept humans easily. Good stories should come forward for our benefit. Maybe the hype will die down," Ruben shrugs, and I shake my head immediately disagreeing. "No, very few humans will have strong enough stories to combat the fear now lingering in most of the human's minds.......Why did the Loner out us," I ask, turning my attention back to Kohn, who shifts back and forth on the balls of his feet awkwardly before answering?

Mother told me to never use my power for bad things. Someone walked into the room I was placed in. A man. He was the most handsome man I have seen, with a warm smile. He was holding a bowl and rag in his hand. I didn't sense any sinister vibes from him yet I still I cowered away. That moment was the beginning of everything. He took care of me and helped me back on my feet. He said his name was River and he too left home to explore the lands. I was happy to have encountered a person similar to me. We spent time together and when we parted, I thought it was it.

I was hoping to become friends with Raiah since she’s an outsider like me. I left Tyee to help set up and went to Ahanu’s hut to find Raiah. I gave a small knock and Nokomis answered the door. I haven’t seen her since I left and I almost forgot about how stunning she was. “Luna Jennie! Come in!” Nokomis squealed. I was caught off guard by her excitement but I was grateful for it. Nokomis made her way to a small table and handed me a cup of fire water. “You have to tell me everything! I’m dying to know!” I went to open my mouth but before I could Raiah was clearing her throat. I turned around immediately apologizing to Raiah. I’m so sorry, I came in here to meet you. I’m Jennie.” I gave a sma

I tried calling one of my friends, Vivian, who I had told about my forced marriage. Vivian was in my school, studying business. She came from an average family, neither rich nor poor. She studied hard and didn't have a boyfriend during her school years. In fact, she claimed it was impossible for her to fall in love with anyone, whether a man or a woman. That was a weird thing to say, but since I did not pry much into her personal life, I hadn't figured out what she meant by that. She was a beautiful woman, so it was not because of her looks that she did not have a man. I was pretty sure it had something to do with her claim of not being interested in romance or relationships.

“You asked me to sit. I was about leaving. I had no intention of staying.” “I know,” he chuckled. “That’s why I asked you to sit.” I took a moment to calm myself before turning back to the front, clenching my jaw. Human World Studies wasn’t what I expected. I thought it would be a core subject meant to understand human society better, maybe culture or interaction. Instead, it was worse. Today’s topic was about how wolves could live among humans without revealing what they truly were, It was Ironic. Humans weren’t allowed in their territory, yet they were studying how to walk around in humans own territory unnoticed. And Rex of all people who hated humans so openly, was taking the class.

I walked to the front of that room and stood beside the wolf king and looked out at a sea of faces that ranged from carefully welcoming to barely concealed hostile. Cael introduced me in a voice that filled every corner. "Luna Seraphina of the Duskborne Dynasty. Humanity's voice. The bridge between our peoples. The proof that a new age is possible." Wolves applauded. The human delegates, six of them, people I didn’t know, chosen by Duskborne invitation—several of them were crying. One older man pressed his fist to his heart and bowed his head and I’d to look slightly away because if I held that image too long I would feel something, and feeling things in this room was not something I could a

The audio clip started and the image began to move. “Hello survivors, my name is Daniel Shirker, President and founder of Project Humanity’s Last Resort. For those unaware, the world as you know it is over. We are entering a new world, a new age, a world of peace and freedom, but do know, you are not alone. Scattered across the United States are one hundred fifty-one bunkers containing an overall total of one million survivors. These bunkers are meant to serve as your new home. You will live here for three months. There will be enough food and water, as long as you ration properly and utilize the farm to grow food immediately. After those three months are over, the air will return to its pre

We are eating dinner and praying the boat won't sink and disappear in the waves—there is a storm raging outside. "Oh shut up, it's terrible!" Sleepy shrugs one massive shoulder, beaming at me until there are flutters in my chest. "The cat people love it." "Oh, I suppose you're right." I take another bite. "Figures why these people are so into slobbery fish—they are all oversized house cats." Sleepy chuckles. "Quiet, or they might throw us to the sharks." It was surprising to find out cat and dog people ran the entire continent where we stayed. There weren't any humans. Instead, the half-animals who call themselves fauna ran it. The humans are on another continent for where we are headed.

There was a towering, luxurious cat tree, a diamond-studded automatic water dispenser, and a cat bed lined with velvet cushions that looked even comfier than the one in my tiny rental. My eyelids twitched. [Holy cow! Is Mr. Hendrick turning the house into a cat cafe? He's never even fussed over the female lead this much!] [Is he seriously treating her like a pet? Did this supporting female character rescue the galaxy in her past life or something?] [Stop being naive. This is all a show for the female lead! When she comes back and sees this, she'll go crazy with jealousy. This is going to be hilarious!] I stared at all the things clearly not meant for a human. I was having mixed feelings.

The crowd buzzed with speculation, and a bold journalist asked, "Excuse me, sir, but this is the sixth time you've announced Mr. Stuart's wedding, and it has never happened before. What's the reason?" Stuart, taking the microphone, replied, "It didn't happen before; that's why I'm announcing it now." The press erupted in further discussion. Camilla, noticing the chaos, took the microphone and confidently stated, "Hello, everyone. I'm the only daughter of one of the top businessmen in our country. I know about Mr. Stuart's canceled weddings. I don't know about other brides, but I won't disappear. I'm damn sure about it. Stuart and I have known each other since childhood."
