Lost Among The Living Novels & Stories

The word count of their new life was expanding exponentially with every new soul that touched the grass. "It’s not enough to just survive anymore," Rhys whispered to himself as he watched the first group of Oakhaven refugees emerge from the landing zone, weeping as they felt the sun on their faces. "We have to build a Lexicon of the Living."

Every day, we waited for news that would confirm it, something—anything—to tell us he was really gone. At times, it felt like we were just waiting for the inevitable: a message, a body, something tangible to close the chapter on his life. But nothing came. Only silence. And now, here he was, in my arms, alive. I couldn’t believe it. I still couldn’t. It felt like a miracle, the kind of thing you hear about but never expect to happen to you. I had thought he was lost forever, hidden somewhere in the Dunes of Belvaria. That’s what they told me, after all. The Kavistanis swore he had been taken there, that it was the last place anyone had seen him.

They have been so lonely since the day that they lost Rizine. Milan and Kilan almost lost their minds when they could not find Rizine. They hold on to the little hope that they had, that once they would be able to find Rizine. Because while Rizine was missing and they could not find anybody, they know that deep inside of them that she was still alive. They know that it is hard because they had loved Rizine so genuinely that all those times they had never thin of loving anyone else besides her.

I had an audience, so I needed to make this worthwhile. I cleared my throat and began to speak. “Last year I was living in a small pack deep in the forest. I had no clue who I was or what I was missing. I had no family, no memories, and no future. When I look around this table I see everything I ever wanted for myself and then some. Old faces I never thought I’d see again,” I looked to my Mom and Dad, who had their hands clasped together, along with Hael and Marcel, “…and new faces that I can’t imagine living without.” My gaze slid over Mykelle, Cole, Olive, Graham, and Sylvia. “There isn’t a single one of us here tonight that hasn’t felt some form of loss. We all carry its scars. They’ll ne

"I do not blame you for thinking something like that considering all the people you lost, but it is not only you, it is all of us, it is the life we ​​have chosen to lead. Pick anyone in our town and they've lost a lot of people too like ... Kein. Before he even got out of the academy, he lost his grandfather. Before he even became a sergeant, he lost his uncle. And what about Diego? He lost his mother, his father, and Frank and before Christina saved the life of his friend, he lost him too for a while. And what about Albert? He lost his entire family! Travis, you are not cursed, so don't feel like you have to hide behind barriers to protect the people around you from yourself"

“Most of us have known each other for years, so I guess it’s time to tell you some of my story. I can not mention my pack as it will put me in danger and tied to the reason I left. When I was fifteen, I had to leave for my own safety, and as of this moment, my pack thinks I’m dead. If they knew I was still alive, they would hunt me down.” Rebekah’s eyes filled with pity and concern, but Shaun ignored it. After being on his own for so long, he didn’t need or want people’s pity. He lived the last few years gathering information through rumors and stories from travelers, someday planning on returning. Now, it was time to go back. “I’m so sorry to hear that, Shaun. I didn’t realize how much you

Still here on earth and still dead. I can do so many things now. All the grim thoughts passing through my head when I was alive, I can do now. He may be dead but all the people that continued to support him and love him despite all the red flags are still alive. The people who let him do things to me, the people who let him destroy me are here. I laughed. My laugh was echoing in my head it was loud, it was angry, it was void of happiness, it was surreal.

"And I don't want to see you. I thought I made that clear the last time." "Luke is going to bring you to me." "Are you not hearing me? Am I not speaking English?" There's a pause, and I can hear him breathing on the other end. When he speaks again, his voice is softer, more desperate. "Don't make this harder than it already is, Dabe. It's been six months, and I'm going crazy. I need to see you." Those words hit me right in the chest. Six months since I walked away from him. Six months since I decided I couldn't keep living in his shadow. Six months since I chose myself over him for the first time in my life.

" There were some things Marie left unsaid. Fate was a twisted thing. After the crash, Jonathan forgot everything and everyone, except Eloise. He would mumble her name and wouldn't let go of their old photo. He refused to stay anywhere but the villa they once lived in. Sharon added with a sigh, "There's more, Lou… Your parents died in a fire." In reality, Helena had been spiralling for a while. She had been guilt-ridden whenever she recalled how horribly she had treated Eloise. Fights with David became a daily occurrence, and the company slowly fell apart. One night, things went too far.

I leaned closer to him, lowering my voice so only he could hear. “Yes,” I whispered softly. “We survived.” His brow furrowed slightly like something about my voice felt wrong. Before he could question it, the old elder with the long nails stepped forward. “Alpha, do you remember what happened?” he asked. Keiran shut his eyes briefly, as if trying to gather his thoughts. “Rogues,” he said weakly. “An ambush.” “Yes,” the elder nodded. “Your Luna told us.” Keiran looked back at me again.
