No Man's Land Novels & Stories

He yelled out, "What are you waiting for? Take action now!" Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The sound of swift movement filled the air. Before he could finish his sentence, shadows swooped in over the manor's walls. A hundred-strong forces hit the ground with a thud, lifeless. A squad of foreign warriors, each one armed with an automatic rifle appeared. "What!?"

It was supposed to clear later and we were going to meet the girls at the beach. Matt tossed his comic book aside. “They Come Out at Night” had been a good pastime when we’d first moved in, but girls had proven to be the ultimate distraction. From everything. “Those don’t look like shrimp,” he said, moving next to me to squint at the tank.

Christian’s POV It’s hard, fighting the urge to be out on the front line. I should be overseeing the fortification at the border, ensuring weapons and men are properly distributed. With over fifty miles of dense forest at the border of our pack, a two mile wide ribbon of no man’s land, then Kendrick’s territory, it’s a lot of land to cover. We need to occupy the neutral territory before Kendrick’s men, if we are to have the upper hand. I know Zander is more than capable, but it's what I have always done.

I panted, not that the corgi seemed to care. “ZEUS!” A deep voice boomed right before I ran smack into a wall. Okay, it wasn’t a wall per se, just a wall of muscle. The wall grunted as Tink chased the yipping corgi around us, wrapping the leash around our legs. “Zeus, stop!” The man commanded. “Tink! No!” I also yelled as I realized what was going to happen too late. SPLASH! I just landed in Turtle Pond on top of the wall of muscle man and based on his grunt, my knee landed in his groin.

She pulled her phone out of the pocket and turned on 4G before she opened I*******m. Before she could scroll down her feed, she felt a presence by her side. Looking up she saw Amara out of breath as she held against the wall. "Did you just ran a marathon?" She couldn't help the sarcasm. But she did wanted to be left alone, she just didn't know how to tell her.

I grabbed a pair of shorts for myself and checked that everything else was still inside to make sure no one else had found it and had taken something Sloane might need before rushing down the tunnel and toward my people. The air felt different when I surfaced through the hatch, and something about it set me on edge. For the first time in years, the air felt clearer and lighter. It reminded me of the difference between pack land and no man's land. The problem was that all of it, past the pond and here, should have been no-man's land. Today, it didn't feel that way. I needed to ensure my people were okay and that no one had moved in or tried to claim our land wh

His gaze lingered on them too long, and something passed between them—silent, invisible, but potent. He’s mindlinking them, El warned. Be careful. I frowned, suspicion sharpening in me. What secret message had he sent them? What strategy was being set behind closed minds while I stood exposed in the open? I lifted my chin again. “Tell me, Your Majesty, why is the No Man’s Land so deserted? I crossed it. I saw it. Nothing lives there. Why?” I have always wanted to know. The King’s eyes darkened. “It is because of the war,” he said slowly. “That land was emptied by bloodshed, by magic.”

"How? Other than the fact that everyone knows of Dr J… knows of her, I can not tell you. As for why I'm here to inform you that the Rogue Alpha will be expecting you at the No Man's Land by six pm tonight." My grip tightened on his throat as the information sunk in. The No Man's Land was a neutral ground where packs settled disputes or held discussions. It was a place outside any pack's territory, a zone where violence was forbidden. The fact that Shade wanted to meet there meant he was well aware of the consequences if he were to breach the sacred rules. "Why should I believe you?" I snarled, my eyes narrowing. He chuckled, a l

It could be hidden… but then it would have had to be built… and who would have built it - so close to their territory in no man’s land? “Alpha! Alpha, come quick!!”

Together. I had to remind myself that this wasn't a sacrifice where my life was at stake, not yet, at least. This was a plea for peace between the two species. Dex and I were supposed to be the embodiment of that. We would need to stand together, our two kinds showing as a united front. As soon as I stepped into no man's land, I gasped in surprise. All of the moisture was sucked out of the air, leaving it as dry as a desert, and the loose soil on the ground sank with each step.
