Linked Universe Novels & Stories

Ryder says. “Since when does the goddess mate someone to two men who aren’t related? If we were twin brothers then I could see that, but we aren’t brothers or mates, so she is not likely to be mated to both of us,” I argue, frustrated that as nice as that could be, it is not likely the case. “It has happened before,” he whispers, leaning forward and rubbing his brow. Then almost too silently to hear he adds, “it is probably my only hope.”

he jokes, trying to ease the tension in the air. "Oh," Alpha Landon fakes a laugh, clearly not buying any of the lies that my beta just told him. He has already mind-linked with me to know it's him I was referring to. Now, mind-linking has to do with just Alphas and Betas. And Landon is no ordinary person, he's an Alpha like me but only of a lower rank. "I should go see what Lucy is up to," he points behind him and uses this as an excuse to leave.

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!

LUNA A long time ago, my father had a best friend. Elio. The Don who ruled Ashmoor's underworld. According to every drunk mafia uncle I had ever eavesdropped on, the two of them were inseparable. They built an empire together, spilt blood together, and probably buried enough bodies together to start their own cemetery. If one sneezed, the other probably blessed him. Then Alessandro entered the picture. Or rather, he was always there.

Yuna, the woman who had loved him so much, wasn't just sulking. She had really left. And she had even severed their mate bond. "How do I restore the bond?" Damon's voice was terribly hoarse. The healer shivered under his stare, his back cold with fear. "Only if Luna herself agrees. Otherwise, no one can force a bond that's already broken back together." Damon slammed his hand on the table, knocking the medicine bowl off it. It shattered across the floor. His eyes were heavy with too many emotions. There was anger, shock, a violent sense of being betrayed, and a panic he didn't even want to admit.

Darren asked. “I don’t know, I feel so angry and heartbroken-ish like sad and angry somehow. I don’t know.” I explained, confused to how I felt. “Oh, I’m sorry. It’s the link. I’ll be back.” Lucas said, not meeting my gaze as he left. “What was that all about?” I asked Darren, who seemed to have understood what was going on. “The members of a link share emotions. When someone on the link is angry, the others feel the same too, maybe just a little bit but they still do and you can’t just create links with just anyone, that’s why I’m still confused as to how Lucas created one successfully.

“Serves them right.” “The government carried out experiments for years. It wasn’t until they noticed, out of the many who died, a handful had a successful bond with their Lunas. And those didn’t cough up blood when they used a command. They asked questions. Ran tests. And finally realized something. “Unlike others, who are merged from birth, Lunas are born unlinked. Some grow without ever linking. What causes that link is the need for dominance. They noticed it’s always the Lunas who played the dominant role in past relationships. Since Lunas are capable of bonding all secondary genders, both Alpha-type and Omega-type, the conclusion was simple.

Luna's nonchalant demeanor couldn't hide her genuine concern for me. "I was mind-linking my Beta; that is why I seemed preoccupied," I explained, grateful for her thoughtfulness. "What is the mind link?" I chuckled at Luna's curiosity, knowing she was always eager to learn new things. "It's a way for werewolves to communicate telepathically," I explained, knowing she would find it fascinating. Luna's eyes widened with interest as she listened intently, her concern momentarily forgotten in her quest for knowledge.

Goa which used to burst with tourists lays empty and barren now. The lockdown had just been lifted by the government. And Sanvika was hoping that someone comes by the restaurant. Shardul, Yashwanth, Tariq and Astrid joined her. Astrid with her six months pregnant belly. They all looked expectantly at the empty barren beach. Living with the last of their savings, they look out for their lifeline.

I shrug my shoulders and watch Kayla's eyes glaze over while she links my mom. Linking, or mind linking, is a form of communication that we have as members of the same pack. We can also use it to make public announcements. I suddenly feel a knocking in my brain, and I already know who it's going to be when I open the link, "Hi mom. I know you want to do something special for my birthday, but don't. The best thing you can do for me is be home when I get home from school and spend the evening with me. That's all I want." My mom sighs, "Abby, I just want to make it special for you. It could be your last birthday at home for a few years. And what if your mate is in our pack? I would love to know
