Expansion Novels & Stories

Groban rolled his eyes as he scoffed, “Come on, and do you actually believe that?” Thinking it over for just a moment I nodded once. Groban’s eyes narrowed slightly as his eyebrows furrowed, “There was never a virus Laya, it was just a lie to cover up what they really wanted to do, depopulate a species to extinction,” A deep frown washed over me as his words hit me, “How do you know that, you’re just- human,” Smirking I could sense his irritability and I didn’t quite understand as to why that was, so I decided to ask the next obvious question on my mind,

POV Eric Lafallete. A week has passed since Isabella's birthday catastrophe. During this week we have been extremely busy dealing with all the effects that an invasion of rogues has. The main consequence? Safety. The Assessment is only a week away and some of the packs questioned our safety. But others have praised the fierceness of my pack. That is why we have increased security and some warriors from the Midnight Pack, with whom we share the southern border, were kind enough to provide it for us. I think it has to do with Isabella being a convergent wolf, which has meant an increase in packs that have requested alliances with us. I have listened to them carefully, but I have not decided an

Neomi nodded once, “We define the rules before the expansion defines them for us” I stepped forward toward the central display, watching the next region begin to shift under the same pattern Moscow had followed, and I could already see the problem forming, because expansion without understanding always creates fractures, even when it looks like stability on the surface “We’re not repeating Moscow blindly,” I said, my voice lower now, more focused, “we’re adapting the structure based on region, influence, and resistance patterns” Ivan frowned slightly, “That slows the expansion” “It stabilizes it,”

he said. Elizabeth crossed her arms thoughtfully. “Not attacking. Just shrinking your access.” “Yes.” “And they’re doing it without fingerprints.” Lewis stood near the window, watching the city lights flicker below. “They assume expansion relies on predictable alliances.” Elizabeth’s mind was already working ahead. “Then we make expansion unpredictable.” He turned slowly. “Explain.” “Blackridge’s strength is coordination,” she said. “They influence established channels. Government contracts. Major institutional funds. Legacy systems.” He nodded.

“Especially the ones that are pulling back from expansion.” Tan nodded. “Makes sense. After loss, people look for stability.” Avelyn’s eyes remained on the screen. “Yes.” A pause. Then she added, “But not all of them.” Cassian followed her gaze. The clusters near the independent presence were increasing again. Not rapidly. Not overwhelmingly. But steadily. And they weren’t the same clusters as before. These were Different. Lucas frowned slightly. “These ones came from expansion.” Tan raised an eyebrow. “So they’re not going back to structure.”

“But not eliminated.” A pause. Then— “Total elimination is not required.” Cassius let out a quiet breath. “No… just enough to break everything.” Arden glanced at him briefly. “He’s not entirely wrong.” I focused on the hybrid presence. On the patterns forming within it. In the direction it was moving. “You’re prioritizing growth,” I said. “Over stability.” A pause. Then— “Correction: we are prioritizing adaptive expansion.” Kane’s expression hardened. “That’s the same thing.”

even meant anything anymore. At the countless shifting patterns. The flows. The constant adjustments. And now. Something new. Variation. Subtle. But growing. “This is how it expands,” I said. “Yes.” “Not by building more structure…” A pause. Then. “By increasing difference.” That changed everything. Because before. Growth meant adding. Extending. Building. But here. Growth meant diversifying. Becoming more varied. More complex. More… alive. I focused again on the other pattern.

Peace begins to make some sneaky move making me realise she's about to leave me alone with these random guys. Ah! this idiot would do anything to get some d*** inside her. she waves her stupid hands at me signifying her disappearance. Great! I mutter to myself. I suddenly begin to feel bored having no familiar face around sucks pretty much. "Hey, a guy greeted." "Hi" "I'm Andrew." "Vivian" "Nice meeting you Vee, I've heard a lot about you." "Guess you are one of Peace's friends then." "Yeah, she flaunts about you every time, saying how amazing you are."

" Hey, my Asian cookie, what is new ?" " I'm in a war zone. It has been over an hour that dad is arguing with mom over where we should go for holidays " I heard a door opening in the background. " What are the options? " I just realized we didn't plan anything for this holiday yet. " It's either South Korea or Spain, I would prefer Spain but is not like my opinion has a room in this non-democratic house " " Life is not fair. Look at me, I even had to share a placenta with Jaden "

His eyes searched mine the way all men of power did, testing, looking for weakness. “Sit.” He gestured to the chair near him. I sat. Sofia slipped into the seat at my side. She smiled at them, warm, polite, like she was born to these tables. I opened the folder. “We’ll keep this simple.” My voice was steady, clear. “The Delphini expansion requires scale. Our proposal gives you that. No wasted cost, no inflated promises. Straight numbers.” I spoke slowly, never rushing, laying the base with precision. Charts, margins, growth lines. Nothing soft, nothing extra. Every word cut clean.
