Linked Universe Novels & Stories

"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.

We had drastically underestimated the chaos that would ensue from allowing every single member of the pack to access the link. We had to set up several different workshop type classes around the pack’s territory to help people understand how to use the link properly and directly with one another instead of the main pack link, which was a clusterfuck of noise to anyone that left themselves open to it. Some people couldn’t get out of it on their own.

What more can" "We include everyone," I interrupted. Idea forming. Growing. Becoming certain. "Not just Lunas. Everyone. Every wolf. Every bond. Every connection. Every relationship. We make it universal. Make it include all reality. All existence. All of us. Together. Connected. Undeniable." "That's never been done," Selene said. Not objecting. Just stating fact. "Luna network is Luna-specific. That's how it works. How it's always worked. Including non-Lunas would change it. Transform it into something new. Something unknown."

Juniper Two weeks after the disastrous day that was my birthday, Drew, Myles, my dad, and I had finally settled into a comfortable routine with our training. Drew could finally let me out of his sight for over 30 minutes without experiencing raging anxiety. It helped that we discovered we could mindlink, and my dad said, unlike a pack link, which only works within certain distances, it’s more like a link between mates, in which you can reach each other no matter the distance.

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.

Of course, he would be privy to whatever they had been discussing amongst themselves since he would be next in line to take over as Alpha if I could no longer lead. I attempted to link with him, to find out what was going on, but I came up against a block. Whatever was going on, I wasn’t going to get the answers from him. I tried to link with Brook and once again came up against a block, I was just about to give up when I felt her relax next to me. “Can you hear me?” I attempted again, except this was unlike any other mind link I have ever experienced. It was as if we were connected fully, the link between us expanded to allow our thoughts to flow between us freely.

The connection formed differently than our original pack bond—lighter, more flexible, allowing her to maintain distance while sharing strength. Sarah flickered through timelines before joining, her temporal nature adding depth to our growing network. "I can connect versions across realities. Make this truly multidimensional." The Lunas required no invitation—they flowed into the network like water finding its level, their seven aspects adding complexity that somehow simplified everything else. "This is insane," Marcus said, but I heard uncertainty in his voice. "This is evolution." I turned to him. "Even you could join, if you chose connection over isolation." "I am entropy's avatar—"

Elara’s breathing began to steady. After a long minute the pull faded completely. I let go of her hand and sat back. “Better?” She nodded slowly. “Better.” My father rubbed his face. “I need to study this further. The link should not require physical contact to stabilize.” “Unless the link itself is incomplete,” Julian said. We all looked at him. “What do you mean?” I asked. “You said carrier to carrier,” Julian said to my father. “Two people from the same bloodline. But what if the link is not actually anchored fully in Selina. What if it needs both of them. Together. Not just connected through blood, but present.”

“You are about to take a Luna. Our bond is supposed to represent unity and strength. And yet you bring in a rejected wolf with unknown ties and expect everyone to accept it.” Ariana flinched at the word rejected. “You are overreacting,” Damian said. “She will not interfere.” “That is not your decision alone,” Lyla snapped. “I am your future Luna. Every action you take reflects on me.” There was a pause. Then Damian spoke again, slower this time. “Nothing will interrupt our bond.” Ariana’s chest tightened. “She means nothing beyond what I allow,” Damian continued. “She is under my protection. That is all.”

I pointed out, confusion evident in my voice. “He can mind link with you because you're his mate.” She exclaimed. “Being his mate means there's a strong bond between you two, transcending the ordinary,” she continued, sensing my uncertainty. “It's a unique connection that allows for mind linking, a way for werewolves to communicate on a deeper level.” I absorbed this information, grappling with the surreal nature of my newfound connection to Ralph. The fact that I, a seemingly ordinary human, could share a mental link with a strong supernatural being like him left me both fascinated and unsettled.
