Maze Runner Jacob Lofland Novels & Stories

It circled me, its massive body blocking every exit. “Do you see it now?” Jacob’s voice hissed. “There’s no escape. No matter where you run, I’ll find you. I’ll break you. And when you’re gone, Jake will have nothing left.” I ignored him, focusing on the orb. The spider lunged again, its fangs snapping inches from my face. I dove to the side, the pain in my arm flaring as I hit the ground. Gritting my teeth, I pushed myself up and ran for the pedestal. The spider screeched, its legs slicing through the air as it chased me.

“And I, Cato Loren, pledge my allegiance to the Stella pack and oath to use this power to help its people thrive and prosper. To stand by my side, I elect Elias Smith as my Beta and introduce Jessica Michaels as my Luna.” The sun grew brighter. Dad squeezed my hands as an ecstatic warmth rushed through us. It filled my veins and seized my muscles. My vision filled with a bright white light, as I felt like my feet had come off the ground. We could have been floating miles in the air, but my Dad still gripped me. He didn’t let go until the light faded and my vision cleared. Every wolf in the clearing kneeled. The men, women, old and young. Each one of them bowed their heads.

His manly scent conquered my nose, and I suddenly forgot where we are right now. I felt a soft cushion at my back the moment he dropped me on a bed. He held my foot tightly then widely opened my legs. “Ugh!” I screamed, my chest heaving up and down. Fuck. “It will take us two days or so before we reach the Red Blood Throne, and in those two days, I want to busy myself of something. And I want you.” Jacob’s hot fingers clawed on my legs as he tied the rope on it to the corner of the bed, causing me to be wide open for him.

Our task: reach the summit before sunset while carrying supplies, signaling our progress to the observers. The maze was treacherous. Sharp rocks, sudden drops, and narrow ledges forced every step to be precise. Daren slipped once, and instinctively, I reached for him, steadying him while keeping our momentum. Liora’s eyes were fixed on a distant marker, calculating the shortest route while avoiding traps. The bond pulsed, guiding my focus, alerting me to subtle shifts in the terrain and the presence of hidden dangers.

He led me to one of the tables and gave me a clean spoon. "Try this.. it's really good." He said as he pointed at the beef stew. I slung my bag fully around my body and started taking a spoon full of the broth first. "Wow.." My eyes widened and turned to him. "Good, right?" "So good." I said and he put a piece of meat on my spoon. I took a bite and I turned to him. "Who made this?" "One of the contestants." "This is the best.. better than my mom's." I said and Leon chuckled.

Zoe stood in the centre of the Red Water Pack living room, her chest rising and falling as her mind pieced everything together: Jacob, Mario, the attack, the disappearance, then it clicked. Her eyes sharpened. “I think I know where Jacob is.” Lucas immediately stepped forward “Where?” Zoe turned toward him, “The old northern ridge,” she said.

I couldn't believe what was in front of me, and squeezed my arm fiercely, the sharp pain made me shiver, cold sweat soaked my clothes, it became obvious that this time was not in a dream. Wild roar of insects in the mountains, my scalp tingled, thinking of what the man said, is that true? I had to find my father and the others. But I just stood up I fell off my center of gravity and rolled down the stairs, scrambled to get up but fell into a large hole, the light was too dark I simply did not notice the hole.

CHAPTER 4 TAYLOR “Your name is Taylor Anya Fitzroy and you're an orphan. You lost your parents in an accident at fifteen and your grandpa died after you graduated from high school. You're twenty two years old, you lived in an apartment which was close to where you formerly worked as a barista at a Cafe and your boyfriend… Well, now your ex-boyfriend is Malcolm Doe.” Mr Rover listed every single information about myself while he sat before me in the mansion's living room but all I could think about was the amount of blood I just witnessed out there when he shot those bodyguards in their knees and hands.

Sometimes I wondered how we were such close friends but we usually evened each other out. We quickly pulled up at my boyfriend's house. Carla honked the horn as the door opened to reveal Jake and his twin brother James. I sighed when I saw Jake. He was the cutest. He had sandy blond hair with brown eyes and was tall and muscular and a stark contrast to his smaller, brown haired and eyed, kinda nerdy brother James. In a strange twist of fate, James was the one that inherited their father's werewolf abilities while Jake was like their mother and completely human.

"Welcome to the Gauntlet Run. Racers will navigate a three-mile course through the Ravine Sector. Only the top four finishers advance. The rest are disqualified." Disqualified. Such a clean word for what really happened. The course map appeared on the screens. Narrow pathways, collapsing bridges, and a stretch called the Killing Floor where the path split into three routes. According to Ash's intel, only one route was safe. The other two led straight into traps designed to look like accidents. I touched my helmet, feeling the tiny camera Juno had installed. It was active. Recording. "Racers, take your positions." I moved to the starting line. A girl next to me was shaking so badly I could he
