Novel Oasis Novels & Stories

"So, want to hang out after brunch? Maybe go to the beach and relax?" I smiled at my friends suggestion; that did seem nice. "I would, but I need to go to the mall and find some new outfits. You're welcome to join me if you want." "New outfits? What's the occasion?" She asked. I couldn't help the smile that graced my face as I told Maddie about Ryan, and our time together last night. I told her about his offer to bring me with him to Siesta Key, how he brought me home safely, and I even followed up my story by showing her pictures from his I*******m.

Lia whispered, her eyes dancing. “You know the tales. The Moon Goddess loves to bridge the gap, mating the lowest beta to the strongest alpha to create a perfect balance. That could be you.” I held up the gown, watching the moonlight catch the beads. It glowed with an ethereal, haunting light. No one would ever guess this was once junk. It was my armor, built on sleepless nights and desperate hope. “Can you imagine the fallout?” I countered, my voice tight.

When the plane landed, the afternoon sun was fierce, glaring through the window and making it hard to open my eyes. I walked out of the airport with my small suitcase, and a dry wind carrying the scent of dust hit my face. I squinted, pulling up the collar of my jacket. The view outside the car window quickly faded from the bustling Vegas Strip to an endless expanse of red rock and desert. "The Oasis," the Costello family's largest money-laundering hub in Nevada, and also its most notorious den of vice.

My mind was completely, wonderfully quiet. Leo sat down beside me, taking my hand in his. His fingers were warm and strong. "Where are we going now?" I asked softly, opening my eyes to look at him. Leo looked out the window toward the vast, green expanse of the outer forests stretching far beyond the old city walls—a place no citizen of Oakhaven had been allowed to see for fifty years. "Home," Leo said softly. "To build something new."

I leaned against Kael's shoulder, the cracker of fire warmed my face. The raw wilderness of this untamed plaice was threatening, but she also offered us everything we needed when we were smart enough to use it. “An own base,” Nova said quietly and stared in the flames while she was Stripe meat. ‘No consortium ghosts, no abyssal filter systems, no dying spaceships. Just us and the shit. Somehow I like it.” “Don’t pamper yourself too much,” Kael gently hummed. His great hand lay soothing on my knee. “Tomorrow we become the highest tree of this island

However, he didn't stop and neither did the incredible sensations that, once again, had me wanting to cry out his name. I didn't realize that I had bitten and scratched him harder the second time I found myself drowning in the sensations he had caused, but I was out of breath as I asked him, "What was that?" "That's what the Big O feels like." Wesley chuckled as I noticed the bite marks on his neck before he told me, "I don't think I've ever had one that good before, Sophia." "Yeah, well I still have a crush on you Jakub Murtagh." I shouted as I reached the door to the sixth floor and yanked it open before running through.

It no longer defined her. Elara approached quietly, her face pale but resolute. She did not speak at first, only placed her hand briefly over Nicole’s, a silent vow that needed no words. Then she stepped back, taking her place among the wolves, no longer on the outside of their circle. The sun rose higher, gilding the courtyard in light. Nicole drew in a long breath and lifted her chin. “This is not the end,” she said, her voice low but certain. “This is the beginning. A dawn remade. Our dawn.”

But it had and it did. I looked out the window, enjoying watching the trees in the oasis pass by. It was rare for so many trees to be growing so close to the desert in Nevada, but it was my little piece of heaven. And now, it appeared that it was Xander's and Elias's little piece of heaven, too.

Behind them, the city of Nova Luna glowed in the darkness, a beacon of defiance and hope in the center of the wasteland. The Covenant was sealed. Long live the Queen. [END OF BOOK ONE]

“Just stop. I’ll jump out of your Oasis if I have to. You can go rushing on ahead if you like to your death.” “So prickly. You’ve spent too long in the desert, you’re turning from girl to cactus—aht! Patience! Fine, we will walk in heat and without cool water since you are so adamant that suffering needlessly is glorious.” She wasn’t going to let Ash bait her with such teasing and needling. She was already dissolving the Oasis again anyway, which was all she wanted, and despite herself, she marveled still at the way the Oasis collapsed in on itself with mystic grace. The palm trees sank down under the sands while the spring drained and dried up like a puddle disappearing a hundred times fast
