In Another Life Novels & Stories

Etta asked, fearful of what she might hear next. "No. My aunt and uncle on my fathers side live with another pack across country and my mothers brother was also killed during the rebellion. Once Beta James became Alpha he took me in. He was my fathers most trusted advisor and friend, I had no reason to doubt that he would care for me." Annalise closed her eyes as she thought back to her childhood.

"Lucky for me, I was born with a silver spoon, unlike some people, born to parents who abandoned them." I couldn't help but think back to when Freddie had sat next to me on my bed in my past life, sipping from the bowl of nourishing soup that was supposed to help me recover. He had sneered, "Tyler, you're going to die anyway. Drinking all that soup won't change a thing. I'll just enjoy it for you; no need to thank me." I wanted to rip him apart right then and there—just the thought of him made my skin crawl.

Ripped from my body. When I finally opened my eyes, panic rushed through me. My hands flew to my belly— Flat. Empty. Lifeless. Not swollen with life anymore. Not full of hope. Just... gone. A scream tore from my throat, raw and ragged. I cried out in agony— "My baby... my pup...!"

“Choose your world, Host. This dimension cannot support the anomaly.” Anomaly. That was me. A past life pulled into another world. A person created from someone’s wish. A borrowed existence. The countdown echoed again. “Nine seconds remaining.” A sharp pain pulsed behind my eyes. Suddenly, images flooded my mind, rapid and jarring like flashing lights on a broken screen. I saw Sky Templeton again. Not Gloss. Not Host. Not anomaly. Sky. The boy with a tired smile. The boy who never felt like he fit anywhere.

“Cheers to us in another life.” Micah stared at me with squinted eyes, unable to decipher my note, but he picked up his glass grudgingly, and he clinked it with mine. “In another life.” We continued eating, the silence almost soothing. Then he set his fork down and met my eyes. “I want to take you out.”

Apart from that, it felt like there was nothing else. Her phone buzzed incessantly. Feeling around for it, Bianca picked it up. "Hello?" "Bia!" On the other end was Natalie's voice. And suddenly, in the midst of her panic, Bianca felt a strange calmness. Cedric had said... Natalie came from another lifetime! Bianca couldn't believe it. But now, she hoped...! She hoped that she, too, could reach another lifetime in her final moments. She hoped she could go to a world without the Entes family.

His breathing hitched. “Maybe… in another life…” he said softly, his gaze drifting slightly but still trying to hold onto me. “I won’t be a Don… no enemies… no blood…” My heart shattered all over again. “We’ll be normal people,” he continued faintly. “I’ll meet you… in a quiet place… not like this…” “Stop it!” I sobbed, clutching him tighter. “I don’t want another life! I want this one! I want you in this life!”

I stood next to James and shook my head, but he couldn’t see it. The wind in the leaves was the only answer I could give him. “Let it go, James.” “If there’s a next life, it’d be better if we didn’t meet again.” “This one was too hard, too bitter.” I was talking to myself. If there really is another life, I’d rather be the wind around you, or a cloud, just there quietly. That would be enough.

Declan’s name glowed on the screen again, and I let it ring out, my heart aching as I buried my face in the pillow in the pool of my own tears. The next two days passed in a haze of final preparations. Isabella didn’t answer my calls, her silence was a cold wall between us. I felt guilty for our fight, for my actions, for the words we couldn’t take back, but I didn’t know how to fix it. My mind was a storm of memories too about Declan, Alex’s cold indifference, and the chilling echoes of a past life I couldn’t fully grasp. Remembering what I experienced in my past life, vivid flashes of Alex’s betrayal, of financial crimes pinned on me. I woke each morning gasping, my heart racing, the line

There was a lump in her throat and too many doubts in her heart. “I’d already helped him cross into another life.” Those were the words of the man only she could see. “Another life?” “Humans die and their souls need to be freed from their bodies in order to reincarnate.” Would Patt start another life now? She hoped it was better than the one they were living now. “It’s time. Let’s go.” Behind her, she could hardly hear the voices of the other kids gathering around in the old building, probably trying to decide what to do with Patt’s body now. Ayla found herself following the mysterious man outside.
