Is Another Level Of Pain Novels & Stories

The last thing I needed right now was thinking about Annelise, about the way she would wake up and not find me next to her, how confused she would get about my sudden disappearance after the hot sex we had last night. Another wave of pain hit me. For a while, it was manageable. The heat, the pressure building under my skin. The itch that made me want to tear myself apart just to get some relief. I paced as far as the chains would allow, breathing through it, clenching my fists until my knuckles turned white. It hit my bones this time, a sharp, twisting pain that started in my spine and spread outward like something was trying to force its way out of me. My body jerked, my knee giving out as

She kept rolling on the ground, banging her head against the wall, scratching her body furiously. During the whole process, Natalie would not stop for a moment. Her mind was out of control, she could not remember anything, and she did not feel any pain. She hurt herself hard. When the poison had passed... the pain from various wounds on the body hit violently. In other words, Natalie would experience two kinds of pain. One caused by the poison. One is caused by injuries on the body after poisoning. Under such pain, Natalie could still grit her teeth and persevere, which was indeed surprising.

When I was in so much pain. “Level 1. No response.” I cried, feeling my hands start shaking. “Proceeding to Level 2.” I felt another burn on my veins. I gave out a death scream again as fierce tears fell down my cheeks. ‘P-please, help me.’ I cried to whoever was calling me. I know it was Titus. I want it to be Titus. I want to see him. I miss him. Another level was announced, and I once again felt that scorching sensation in my body. There was one time I was able to open my eyes, and I saw how my veins had started getting dark and popping around my forearms and hands.

I thought as I allowed her to take control, my royal blue eyes softened into light blue ones as she took over, even though she was in charge I figure she had no intention of being on fours, well until Ace whimpered next to her. “Argh” I cried out as she finally tried to shift to her form but why am I feeling all the fucking pain? I thought as I cried out every time a bone broke. Why? Why is it so painful? I thought letting out a heart wrecking cry as my legs broke and I fall to the ground. What on earth is going on? I thought feeling tears gush out of my eyes, this pain is worse than what I felt during my first shift I thought. “I…can’t do this!” I cried out.

Then the second wave. This one doesn't hit from outside. It comes from inside, from somewhere beneath my ribs, like something buried very deep has been pried up by its roots. Every nerve in my body fires at once. It is worse than the rejection. Worse than forty hours of labor with no support and no sleep. Those pains had direction, had a cause you could name. This one is total. This is every cell in my body being told that everything it learned about itself was wrong. I make a sound I've never made before. Low, animal, not quite a scream.

The wide smile on my face twisted into a grimace, my features contorting with the intensity of the sensation. Alessia's startled expression mirrored my own inner turmoil. "Anya, are you okay?" Her voice wavered, laced with genuine concern. My breaths came in short, ragged gasps as the pain intensified, radiating through my entire body. It felt as though a fiery dagger had lodged itself deep within me, tormenting my senses with each passing moment. "No... Yes... I..." I struggled to form coherent words, my voice strained and shaky. The pain rendered me powerless, my thoughts scattered amidst the chaos erupting within me.

Blunt Pain By the fifth city, the adrenaline no longer masked the exhaustion. Axl’s body moved automatically. His mind drifted. Their shows were electric. Each crowd was louder than the one before. But when he stepped off stage, something inside him dipped too low. He shut himself inside the dressing room and sat on the floor, his back against the wall. He closed his eyes and breathed. Slow and controlled. He hadn’t lost his love for music. He just lost the place where he used to put everything down afterward.

Gods, the pain. I clenched my jaw and winced at the memory, my body involuntarily trembling. I had shifted for the very first time in my life. I had thought I understood pain—I’d lived with enough of it in silence all these years—but this… this had been something else. It was as though my bones had splintered, torn apart from the inside, only to knit back together in a new shape. Every nerve had burned. Every scream had scraped my throat raw. For a moment, I had begged for it to stop, had prayed for it to end even if it meant my death. I squeezed my eyes shut, my nails digging into the sheets as though I could claw the memory away.

I whispered. The pain didn’t pass like it usually did. It wasn’t just pressure or discomfort like before. It was something else—something more. Another pain followed, stronger, deeper, like a wave crashing over me from the inside out. I gasped, bending forward, fingers clutching the edge of the mattress as I tried to breathe through it. Inhale. Hold. Exhale. But it didn’t help. The pain came again—harder this time, more intense. And then again.

Then she dutifully placed my head on her chest, her hand running through my hair, just like last night. “Now, let's try again, Milena. Be gentle and tell him what he needs to do. Slow and steady.” And this time, I listened attentively. I tried to focus. To ignore the pain. But this shift was different from the first one. It was worse. The pain was unlike anything I had ever felt. My bones felt like they had been crushed into powder. Even with Anisa's presence, it was worse. I tried to find the thread tethering me to Lyall, like Milena said. I tried to focus on it. In the background, I could hear Anisa's voice speaking. I could hear Milena and Kosey moving things around, but I wasn't able to
