Faraway Wilds Novels & Stories

The road ended where the ice began. Killian slowed the SUV to a crawl. The tires struggled to find grip on the frozen mountain pass. Ahead, the Whispering Peaks pierced the dark purple sky. This was the border of the Old Wilds, A place where the King’s law doesn't reach, but the monsters did. “The heater is on full blast, and she’s still shivering,” Sarah said from the back. Her voice was thick with fear. She was rubbing Faith’s cold hands, trying to keep her blood moving.

In the third year of our development assignment in the Northwest, my husband, Jason Hale, suddenly submitted a request to return to the capital. His supervisor, Martin Reed, confronted him about it. "You only have one year left on your assignment. If you stay here and keep building your career, your future will be wide open. Breaking your contract and going back just to stand up for that student you've been sponsoring hardly seems worth it. "And what about your wife? She came all the way out here because of you. You're really going to leave her here by herself?" Jason didn't seem concerned. "I can't stand knowing Yvonne is all alone with no one to rely on. She's emotionally fragile. She can'

Annie thumbed through the guide book for Arkansas hot spring, looking for the page she folded down. Helmslee Hot springs. The guide book promised secluded undeveloped minera pools in the streambed of a canyon. It had sound like a soothing, healing sort of place. She had been making a point of finding the beautiful and secure places to hike and camp on this trip without any form of attack, she was weak omega, the weakest one for yhat matter, she trying to keep her ass safe though she knew that her mate was there to save her. So as soon as she set her tent, she was heading straight for the trailhead. Maybe she could find some peace in a pool of hot mineral waters, but at this point she doub

Since I was done with my bath, I decide to see a movie in the game room that sat downstairs. A few minutes into the movie, I was getting bored so I changed my mind. Maybe all I need is to go to some club, get dirty drunk and sleep my lazy ass off on the couch. It wasn’t the brightest of all the ideas but hey! I am single, I have no friends, parents, or even a neighbor, did I tell you my new cabin sat miles away from town and overlooked the prettiest beach I have ever seen? Donning one of the Louboutin heels that I now owned, I swept my hair into a high ponytail and let some of them free, to frame my face.

Doesn't matter anymore. And I turned off my senses as I drifted far away. And from the distance I could hear a distinct howl...

the ground where he'll be, together you'll win ___ I glance at the book in my hands, knowing fully well I am not reading anything, and it's one of my favorite. I stare round the park, and see it's crowded and bursting with life, and no one notices me, all caught up in their own lives, and I don't know if that's beautiful or selfish. I have this insane need to be alone, I want to run from here, not to New Orleans, somewhere far away where no one knows me, where I can be whoever, and they's be no strange women ranting prophecies, then disappearing.

The only problem with frankincense is that it produced too much smoke and made the whole apartment smell musty, like a wet forest. Akira occasionally smoked cigarettes in the bathroom only as a personal rule, where there was proper ventilation. But when Tonya pushed her stress one day, she needed it in a jiffy and did it while working. The stray hated it just as much as frankincense to Akira’s delight, buying her at least a day or two of silence. Usually when Akira created smoke to drive strays away from her home, they never come back, but Tonya’s spirit was a special case because she lived there until she died.

I didn't know what kind of contract had been attached to it, but there were so many words that I didn't even want to read it. "Then just write down both your names and mine, and it's all done," Jared said, still on the line with me. I immediately scrolled to the final page of the document and filled in the blanks as quickly as I could. Suddenly, Jared began to chuckle under his breath. I genuinely still couldn't understand how his temperament could change so easily like that. All of a sudden, my computer shook violently, and its screen turned pink. Then, I heard a robotic female voice say, "Congratulations on completing the contract mission! You have successfully formed a bond with your targ

Maya’s POV The sedan drove for a long time thirty minutes, maybe more — before it finally slowed down and turned through tall black gates. The sound of metal grinding shut behind us sent a chill down my spine. The walls around the property were high, the kind meant to keep people out… or in. Security cameras blinked red from the corners, and I could see guards in dark uniforms standing near the trees. We weren’t anywhere near the city anymore. The streets had faded to dirt roads, and thick forest surrounded us on all sides. No cars. No lights. No one who could hear me scream.

After seeing the raised eyebrow I gave him, he added, “We’re far from home. In fact, we’re the farthest from what you call ‘home.’” I kept frowning, still not understanding why we were so far from civilization. Clearing my throat, I asked as politely as I could, “Why are we this far out? Did you forget to stop running with me?” "I was following that Alpha when I was running away. I can multitask, and this is where he led me. After that, he disappeared, but I suspect this abandoned land is where he’s been hiding all along.” I knew there were vacant lands somewhere in Sanova, areas inhabited only by the Wild Ones.
