Glimwood Tangle Novels & Stories

“We swept twice.” “Did you sweep the ground and the trees?” I replied. There is a pause before he answers. “Branches were intact.” “He did not need to disturb them.” I look at the carving again. At first glance, it passes for a rogue mark, the kind fractured packs leave behind when they want to intimidate rather than organize. But the alignment is too exact, the spacing is too controlled. Beneath the outer shape, a second pattern runs shallow through the bark, almost hidden within the first if you are not trained to see it—Guild coding.

Something inside him-something old, something buried-told him he had done this before. The creature's silver eyes gleamed in the shifting light, watching him closely, filled with something Ashwin couldn't name. Curiosity? Fondness? Recognition? He should have been terrified of such a beast, but there was only warmth. And then, for the first time, Ashwin truly looked into its eyes. They were... familiar. Deeply, intimately familiar. His own reflection flickered in those icy grey irises, distorted by the water, yet something within them made his stomach lurch with unease. His heart pounded as a strange realization clawed at the edge of his mind, something he had always missed before, something

Then he left, and the receiving hall settled into a silence that felt considerably heavier than it had before he arrived. Zane looked at me. "Strange lights in the Grimwood," he said quietly. "Near the border." "A witch," I said, the word landing between us with the specific weight of something we'd both been waiting to say out loud. "Tyla's witch," Zane added. "Or someone Tyla's witch answers to." I thought about the note on my pillow, about the crafted poison in Mara's blood, about the way every move against us so far had felt coordinated rather than desperate. "Roderick's telling us where to look without getting directly involved. He's giving us information that costs him nothing but earn

Ainara’s hand trembled slightly, but Andres reached for it, squeezing gently, grounding her in the storm. The waves lapped gently against the shore, the golden sun sinking into the horizon, painting the sky in hues of amber and rose. A soft breeze carried the scent of salt and blossoms from the garlands that lined the aisle. Family and friends gathered in quiet reverence, their faces glowing in the fading light. At the center of it all stood Andres and Ainara, hand in hand, their eyes locked on each other. This time, there were no secrets, no shadows, no hidden contracts. Only truth, love, and the promise of forever.

"You will come with me to the Blighted Tangle. It is a place of natural, festering corruption, a wound in the Wildwood that even the Conclave's strongest magic can only contain, not cure. If you can heal it... if you can prove your power has a purpose beyond her... beautiful chaos..." She left the sentence hanging, a challenge and a plea. Nyx's smile was a slow, victorious dawn. "A field test. Excellent." The journey to the Blighted Tangle was a descent into a different kind of nightmare. The vibrant, humming life of the Wildwood gave way to a suffocating silence. The trees were twisted, weeping a black, viscous sap. The ground was spongy and pale, and the air reeked of rot and lost hope. Th

"It's George or something else apart from sir just drop the formality you're a Woodley now" "Am fine dad, am also...." "Just answer the question, learn to answer the question don't create answers to your own questions. Okay?" "Okay" George took a long pause going through one papers. His gel drained black hair with shades of grey in it was well combed backwards, dressed in a V-neck T-shirt, a pair of eye glasses hanging loose on his nose bridge. Elsie was looking around at the pictures of an entire generation of Woodley’s hanging on the wall, the last one was Lewis. She was also playing with her fingers and holding her breathe at the same time. Her lungs were starting to ache.

They burst before reaching the ground, releasing a fine, glittering powder that spread like drifting mist through the treetops and across the lake’s edge. Arda’s throat went dry. "Weird smell" “Mountain ash.” Gillow clarified. The sharp, acrid tang reached her nose. Around them, the forest seemed to tense—the unseen packs in the mansion’s grounds would feel it soon enough. Gillow’s jaw clenched as he stepped slightly in front of her, his muscles taut as if ready to spring. “It won’t affect you,” he said tersely. “You’re Moon-marked. And I…” his mouth tightened, “I’m an Alpha. And Elder, because of his age.”

J⁠immy, Aoki, Conrad, and I wa⁠lked up to t‌he big mansion eve‌ry⁠one​ called th⁠e “Wh⁠ite House.”⁠ The nig‌ht air was c‌ool, and I could‍ smell chlori⁠ne from the swimming po‌ol out b‍ack. Through‍ the ga​tes, I saw it⁠ g⁠lowing under soft lights, w‌ith palm trees and‌ lou‌nge chai‌rs around i⁠t. Music and lau‍g⁠hter s​pilled o​ut as we‌ got closer.

I froze on seeing a shadow in my room. I couldn’t breath although it was a secure house I couldn’t just pinpoint why I was that scared to my bone marrow. I gathered all the courage I have in me and shouted “WHO’S THERE?” Flipping the light switch on I saw that it was Jasper shirtless on the bed I gasped heavily out of fear and shock from his body He was so hot. I couldn’t believe my eyes. He looked so much like Felix. His chest down to his structured stomach that was divided into six down to his waistline and waistband.

"It is a place of great power, but also great danger." Gunnar's brow furrowed, his hand instinctively clenching into a fist. "What kind of danger are we talking about, Kelda?" The shaman's gaze grew distant, as if peering into realms unseen by mortal eyes. "The Whispering Glade is a nexus of ancient forces, a place where the boundaries between our world and the realm of the Divine blur and intertwine," she explained, her voice taking on a haunting quality. "Those who tread there unprepared risk being consumed by the raw power that flows through its very essence."
