North & South Novels & Stories

And me in the middle, trying to find my north with two suns pulling my orbit in completely opposite directions. Sirius, always to the north. But today the north feels farther away than ever.

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?”

Officially. Exclusively. Mine. North laughed breathlessly when I buried my face against his neck again. “You’re insane.” “You accepted me anyway.” “That might say something concerning about me.” I grinned against his skin before pulling back slightly. “Do you like the British Virgin Islands?” “Mmm.” He nodded while fixing his hoodie properly. “I’ve seen it in movies before. It’s pretty.” “Want to go there sometime?” North turned toward me immediately. “Wait, are we going there after Russia?” Excitement spread across his face so quickly that it made my chest tighten. “Aaaah.”

I guess luck is on my side, huh? There are straight, zigzag, E, C, and other routes but nah, who cares about those when there is a pretty awesome route right where I'm staring at? Ten tenenenen!

Kiera POV "Be prepared for anything," Andy warned everyone as we officially crossed over from the North to the South. The landscape alone was vastly different, almost like a line drawn between rich and poor. In the North, despite lower privileged areas, basic needs were still met, ensuring a semblance of comfort. As we ventured into the South, the landscape shifted dramatically.

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."

I can’t pinpoint the right word but maybe that’s one of the bindings in each region. In region 1, apart from high-rise buildings, modernized facilities, there are also convenient stores and various storefronts. Arnal said earlier, region one is said to be the center of trade in the whole north. And when we passed a boarder, the big forest opened up to us. Region two is the opposite of region one. If in region one there are only buildings, in region two you will see only towering trees. The flowers we passed were colorful. It's like Aikee and I came back from the day we first set foot here in the north.

I hope my mate is taller than me. Well, like I could choose, right? Whatever he looks like, he'll still look perfect in my eyes once I met him. How I love how mate bond works! "Prime pack," she said with a bored expression. Ugh! This girl is killing off my vibe of enthusiasm! I decided to ignore her lack of interest in the mate bond and focused on the news I just heard. "Wow! Ash! That's the strongest pack of the North!" The continent was divided into four Regions. The East, West, South, and North. Each region has groups of the pack and our North holds five.

North just looked pissed off. It was written all over his face—every forced smile, every stiff movement, every inch of distance he tried to put between himself and her without starting a war. His jaw was tight, his shoulders locked, like he was bracing for impact instead of standing in his own kitchen. “What do you two boys want for dinner when you take a break?” “Those saucy rib burgers from Pinky’s,” North said. “The saucier the better,” Axl added. “Do they have salad on the menu?” Charlotte asked.

Java, 1586 The wind howled across the coast. The sun blazed from the peak of a sharp blue sky, while massive waves exploded against the black rocks lining Karang Bendan's shoreline. On a stretch of smooth sand, two men stood facing each other, separated by little more than eight feet.
