North And South Novels & Stories

It's not even that late though, it's only 8 PM, so I assume they would really rather spend the night with each other than here. 'Is she the woman he married? The one his mother told me about?' I wondered to myself. "Hey, are you okay?" Kristoff asked me. I nodded as a response. An hour has passed, and it seems like they're not planning to leave yet. I didn't get to drink that much, same as Kristoff, who seemed to lose his cravings towards alcohol after seeing Alex. I felt my phone in my vest pocket vibrating. I put it on that mode earlier so that I wouldn't miss any emergencies just in case something happens back home.

I laughed at him. "I don't care. Just help me to impress her." He pouted. "You can try what I told you to do last time." I suggested looking back to my laptop. "If that was so easy I wouldn't be here at the first place. They are different from each other. If Tessa is the north then Diana is the south."

"Adriano, you know what? If you had said that five years ago, I might have believed you. But now, I don't believe anyone anymore." Adriano lowered his eyes and said nothing more. This drama of two brothers fighting over a woman lasted half a year. The result was mutual destruction. Luca was severely weakened, and Adriano suffered heavy losses too. Both realized that if they kept fighting, someone else would simply profit from their conflict. Hence, they called a truce. It was not because they reconciled but because neither could keep fighting. Serena heard the news while peeling an apple for Mattia. Mattia had recovered and grown taller. His complexion was healthy and rosy.

The sky was an iron grey, rain pelting the muddy field as lightning crackled through the dark grey sky, creating more tension between the opposing kingdoms who stood about a hundred feet apart from one another. On one side stood the army of the Eastern kingdom of Thanes, their golden banners which held the kingdom’s crest of a black stallion horse, soaked wet from the drizzling rain. Across the mud-slicked field, the forces of the Northern kingdom of Sulcar stood fiercely, no banner of their kingdom was hung up, only by their ink littered skins will you be able to identify them.

In the light, we can see that it is circling a small town north of us, telling us where to go. I turn and look at him. “We need to go north,” I say. He looks at the map, taking it from me and turning it upside down. “Actually, I think we need to go south. I think I read it wrong the first time. See here?” he asks, pointing to a place beside the red dot. “I think that is the town. This house is north of the town, not south.”

Gerald said calmly, “If you really want to know the other kind of size, that can be arranged…” North immediately pressed a finger to his lips. “No, I don’t. Gerald… I have something to ask you.” Gerald’s chest rumbled with a low chuckle. Seeing her red face, he knew he could not tease North anymore. So, he replied, “Yes?” North thought about what Roque said, gulped, and asked cautiously, “Mr. Howard… What is your relation to the Souths?”

“Dear child, why do you have such a hard life? You're just like my son, both of you live such tough lives.” Jane smiled sadly. She looked at the old lady with a slightly confused expression, then looked at Noah in front of her. However, the simple man smiled gently and said, “Why not I’ll carry my old mother on my back, and we can leave this place together? Shall we head north?” Jane looked at him. “…Noah, what…what do you mean?” Honest Noah said, “I can tell from your accent you’re not a local. South City is in the south, we speak with a Southern accent, but your accent is a typical northern accent. To tell you the truth, I’m from the north too.”

Howie was scowling, as did most other alphas at his remark. I just nodded. The meeting continued, and when we were finishing up, Howie addressed the other alphas and Luna's: "I will say the north is powerful. I, for one, find it interesting that they only have three of theirs down here in the south and have beaten out all the others. I am interested to see how they do tomorrow. If they are so strong, I worry about what would happen should they decide to move down south. They now have one of their own in the south and as a Luna, too."

Philip gave a long speech, and the standing family heads lowered their heads at this moment. One of them said, “Mr. Clarke, it’s not that we disagree with the merger, but we’re worried that the North will be suppressed by the South.” Philip said, “You can rest assured that the North and the South are one family. Here, I can promise everyone that the North and the South will share the same resources and walk hand-in-hand!” Hearing this, the remaining family heads looked at each other and said with a nod, “Okay! We believe you!”

"That's not a wise thing to do, wrong timing... insensitive." "Chief Onapuruagu and Chief Kaave aren't the only owners of a yacht in Dirty South." With her heartbeat jumping into double time, Georgianna stared at Larissa. "This one belongs to a big shot in Dirty South." "You're really living the life hunie, and you deserve it. Goodbye to trenches, bestie." Hell, she was smiling now. Georgianna hated fretting but couldn't help herself, emptying another glass of wine, she dropped the glass. "That's what you get when your surname ends with Kaave."
