Feral Hearts Game Novels & Stories

Despite the psychic shock of the manifest—the haunting proof that our lives had been curated by the Architects long before we were born—the survival of the pack demanded immediate, physical action. Grief and confusion were luxuries we could no longer afford. Fenris and his broken, vengeful army of Ferals were still stalking the Ravines of Sighs, their hunger for our "Shining hearts" only sharpened by their recent defeat. Above us, the sky remained a terrifying, open window, a vast blue eye through which the Architects’ orbital scanners could pinpoint the anomaly of our existence at any moment.

“What the hell is this place?” Before he could answer, we were interrupted by a loud static from an overhead speaker. “Welcome to THE Survival Game!” a distorted voice announced. “Congratulations, you are all dead! But because hell is currently in recycle mode due to the greenhouse effect, you’re being sent to dead worlds as entertainment!” I blinked. “I’m sorry, what?” The voice kept going: “Please provide the fanciest death you can. Or fanciest kills if you have what it takes to be a predator. The audience loves those.”

I froze, recognizing the unmistakable sound of Ferals, dozens of them, and the deeper, guttural growls of panthers. "It's a trap," I whispered, then shouted into my radio: "All units, fall back! Defensive positions! The Ferals are coming!" Too late. From the surrounding forest, dark shapes emerged, Ferals in their most monstrous form, larger and more vicious than any I'd seen before. Their eyes shone red, a clear indication that they were still feral. Behind them came the panthers, sleek black shadows with glowing amber eyes. Finn had hidden his true warriors, letting us believe we were winning while his elite killers waited to ambush us.

Inside, an artifact pulsed with a holy light. Chloe's face froze. She looked down at the object in her own hand, trembling. "No... impossible... what is this?" "The box I gave you was a decoy," I explained calmly. "A trap. It was filled with Feral Pheromones. A scent designed to drive any feral in a ten-mile radius into a bloodthirsty frenzy." Chloe completely broke. She looked with horror at the shattered container in her hand, from which a reddish liquid was slowly leaking.

"The exit protocol is unlocked for all active nodes. Three hundred twenty-two players may depart simultaneously. The game will not resist. The game will not impede. The game will... help." Cheers erupted across the network—joy, disbelief, tears, laughter, screams of pure relief. Three hundred twenty-two voices, united in a moment none had dared hope for, a moment that defied everything the game had been designed to do. Jinhai wept for a daughter he might finally meet, might finally hold, might finally tell that he'd never stopped loving her. Elena screamed with joy at a freedom she'd never expected, a future she'd stopped believing in. Marcus laughed as he imagined the ocean, real ocean, not

I stayed silent and didn't shy away from his gaze. His eyes showed how hurt he felt. His fingers trembled slightly. When my silence stretched on, he took a hesitant step toward me, as if approaching carefully might change something. He was like a frightened young animal. But when he reached out to take my hand, I stepped back. He froze. A wounded, almost childish devastation crossed his face.

Its jaw was elongated, rows of yellowed fangs dripping with fresh deer blood. "You smell like a domesticated pet hiding in the weeds," the feral scout rasped, its eyes black and vacant. "We can smell her. The white moon child. She is blooming inside the stone walls. Her heart is going to taste like starlight." In a blinding blur of motion, I dropped from the branch. My claws clamped around the feral’s throat with bone-crushing force, slamming the creature hard against the jagged stone bank of the stream. "You talk too much for a dead animal," I whispered, my grip tightening until its throat cartilage groaned. "Who gave you her coordinates? Who cleared the southern paths for you? Give me a na

They looked like they are really having fun, so I took photos and even some videos of then while they were playing to capture that. Beside the basketball game is the claw machine, which I busied myself with while the two are still on their little deal. I am not really fond of stuffed toys, but I spotted this really cute white little stuffed cat. It reminded me of Lucas. I played the game trying to win it so I could give it to him, as a thank you gift for fetching and bringing us home as well as paying for lunch. I was playing it for a few minutes already and I still have not succeeded. The two are also finished. Lucas won, of course, but I am pretty sure he would still be buying the three of

I drift off to sleep on the plane on the way back to Texas, only to awaken after having a very vivid dream or maybe I should say fantasy of Drake. I pour myself a drink and try to relax. I decided to change clothes and freshen up, just in case Drake met me at the airfield. Silly how I have to remind myself this is all just a game. I catch myself wanting him, wanting to please him, wanting to give myself to him. I have to remember that I want to hurt him, make him regret how he treated me. Lila, my wolf also reacts to Drake so strongly I constantly have to reign in. I continue to sip the burning alcohol that I am drinking, my excitement continues to grow at the thought of seeing Drake.

Pure or not, Kayla Xanders will belong to him… “My dear Feral Alpha, you want to play with me? Well then, let’s play. We will have a nice game of cat and mouse.
