Linked Universe Novels & Stories

Elder Klaus yelled. “Let me finish,” I said to everyone. “I will do the Luna ritual, which will bind me to the pack and to him as Luna. Ryder and I will be able to connect to each other through the mindlink, and I will also be able to connect to the pack through the packlink.

“I’ll see you again, sister,” Blake said, hugging her tightly. Lydia nodded. “Of course. Just make sure to call me.” “Don’t forget we can still mind-link—unless…” Blake made a face, and Lydia knew what she meant. She and Knox weren’t going to mark each other. That was the only way a wolf could sever her ties with her old pack—being marked or officially joined to a new pack cut all previous connections, including the mind-link. But Lydia was sure that would never happen. Blake was confident, too—that's why she believed they could still stay connected.

"We have no anchors. We are the Void. We exist independent of other realms." "Not true," Luna pointed to the fraying connections she could see. "Every realm touches the others somehow. You have subtle anchors, connection points. Someone found this one's anchor and destroyed it deliberately." "Who would do this?" the first entity asked. "Who could even perceive such connections?" "Another bridge," Asher said suddenly, understanding dawning. "Someone with bridge perception could see the anchor points. Someone who knew how reality connects." Luna's blood ran cold. "Thaddeus. He's the only other bridge. But why would he attack the Void?"

"Kaia... we can stop. We don’t have to do this right now." "Can we talk about something else?" I asked. My voice was a hoarse wreck. "Something lighter?" She offered a small, sad smile and took a bite of her sandwich. "Of course." I turned to Selene, who was mindlessly stirring her soup. "Why can I link with you? I’m not in your pack. I don’t have a pack at all." Her spoon stopped mid-circle. "A strong bond can open a link," Runa explained, brushing a stray crumb from her lap. "Trust, love, or even shared trauma."

Outside, the sky began to glow. Not with the violet fire of a collapse, but with a soft, gentle radiance that felt like the first breath of spring. Every person in the town—every person on the planet—was about to wake up with a "Link." They weren't going to be "Assets." They were going to be "Connected." They would feel each other's pain. They would see each other's truth. The "Universal Underwriters" wouldn't be able to exist in a world where everyone knew the price of the "Insurance."

They represented the three pillars of the new Multiversal reality: Chaos, Order, and Synthesis. As the "Merge" reached its critical point, the ground beneath them vanished. They were standing in a void where three earths were visible, grinding against each other like tectonic plates made of stars. "Link!" Leo commanded. The connection was unlike anything they had ever experienced. It wasn't the Trinity-Core’s harmony. It was a Tri-Brated Resonance. Leo’s grief balanced Shadow-Leo’s cold logic, while the Alpha-Node provided the femto-tech stability to prevent their atoms from drifting apart.

LUNA "Is this a crime scene?" was the first thing Hana said when she entered my room. I looked around at all the papers and highlighters I'd used, writing down every event in my life and trying to figure out when everything went wrong. Everything pointed to one name—Alessandro De Luca. If he hadn't spread those rumours, maybe I would have had a little more freedom. If he hadn't spread those rumours, I would have attended college. If he hadn't spread those rumours, my father wouldn't have rushed my marriage.

I've been wanting to talk to you for a long time about our relationship but maybe destiny can play a role. Uncle died first, I do not know how to talk to you because I know until now you are still mourning him. Second, this fvcking thing that happened. I was hurt every time you pushed me away at the hospital but it was my fault so I could do nothing but accept all your anger but can you please hear me out? I'll explain everything baby. Just please don't do this, just thinking of you drifting away from me kills me. Iloveyou Cassandra, I really do. Please come back home, imissyou so much. Your loving husband, Andrei

"You can see he starts to look worried, and then a few moments later, runs out of there like a fly in a beehive." "And this is important because?" Alex took her hand off the makeshift bandage and looked at the blood smeared all over it. Jack, showing concern, reached for the first aid kit. "It's scientific proof of the Link. It really exists and yours matches perfectly to his, not a ratio of a wave. It's the strongest Link I have seen yet. Once I analyze this data I might be able to figure out how to make something to unlink the Link. An Unlinker..." She tapped her lip thinking of a better name.

I blurted through our mind link. A mind link is a connection between packs a bit like an inner walkie talkie if you like that you can communicate through when needed without having to speak out loud. It sure comes in handy for moments like this when I didn’t have my mobile on me! I was so scared right now, my Lilah could have thrown herself into the lake because the fucking Moon Goddess gave me someone I didn’t want for a mate! Or I did want her as a mate…. Oh I don’t fucking know!
