On The Border Novels & Stories

The east border which he shares with Allus Sierra is the only one they are watching for any kind of movements. “Close to Heyward, sir,” David replies, earning the full attention of his king. Daniel lifted his head, staring at David, speechless. Heyward is the city close to Reichard. There is no border on that side. The entire area is impenetrable by any army, especially thanks to the mountains forming a natural border between the two countries.

-Sebastian, I swear I am scenting something- Jade says through the mind link, dragging me from my personal pity party. I internally groan before moving towards the east side of the pack, taking care to step out of my clothes and shift to be faster. Jade has called me to her side three times just this morning. Annoyed is an understatement. Every patroller is on high alert, half of them are scared and the other half are eager to fight. Anything would be better than the waiting and the taunting. There have been six deaths on the border, with us unable to intervene. If we step foot on neutral lands to fight, we are fair game. An effective way to draw us out using

Sara's eyes met mine. "I think we're at the border," I whispered to her, giving her hand a reassuring squeeze. My nose sniffed the air, and I caught Axton's scent. Fuck! Fuck! He was at the border. My heart beat frantically in my chest, like a trapped bird struggling to escape its cage. The border guards shouted at the farmers, demanding they stop for a search. "Oh my God, Sara," I trembled, "I think they're going to find us." This time it was Sara's turns to reassure me. "I don't think so. We're covered with hay "

If Jayden recognises Aiden’s curt tone, he manages to hide it well. "There's an emergency that needs your attention," Jayden states, with a pointed look at Aiden. "What emergency?" I ask, wanting to know what 'emergency' had made the usually stoic looking Beta rush here with an almost flushed appearance. His eyes glance to me before turning back to Aiden. It was as if he was asking permission from his Alpha as to whether I should even be involved. Aiden nods. Jayden sighs. "There are hunters on the border again," he says, "but it looks like they have doubled their numbers."

Hertor was there, as always composed, posture impeccable, gaze sharp. When he stood to speak, the murmur ceased. “There are hostile movements at the border,” he announced, his voice steady. “Raiders. Small groups that are joining dissident packs. In addition, renegades from the Noar who refused the fusion are joining them.” My blood boiled. I ran my hands through my hair, trying to contain the frustration that threatened to spill over. The exhaustion was still in my bones, in the recent scars, in the memory of battles that had not ended as long ago as my body needed.

I hated this feeling I was having with him, the feeling of wanting something with him when I knew that wasn’t even going to be possible. “I just want to be left alone, that’s all.” I said. Just then, one of his men came up to him, a look of worry on his face and I knew that whatever it was, it had to be serious. “There’s some disturbance at the border we think you should check out,” he said. “Can’t you handle it?” Sinclair snapped, a frown on his face.

"But I cannot manufacture a mate, Delara. Either the bond activates or it doesn't. Either she exists within reach or she doesn't. There is nothing I can do to force it." She opened her mouth — I could already tell it was going to be sharp and accurate — and then the knock came. "Alpha." Caden's voice, through the door. He was one of my border guards, reliable in the particular way that meant he did not knock on doors unnecessarily. His tone carried the specific quality that told me something had happened that didn't fit into any existing category. "I apologize for the interruption. We found something at the eastern border." "A something or someone?"

he stood and walked over to Veronica, "get up and give your cousin a hug, welcome to the craziest family ever." Veronica side eyed me as she stood up and he embraced her, I couldn't suppress the growl that came out of my chest and Carl laughed, "really, like you don't trust me," he winked at me, but let go of Veronica. He sat back down and crossed his leg over his other's knee, his foot was shaking, one of his telltale signs that he's agitated. He nodded at me, "the border patrol has been attacked on 2 occasions now, but only when the trainees are scheduled for it."

Then I turned and strode out towards the pack, Ryder leading the way. As we moved swiftly through the trees, I couldn’t help but feel a gnawing irritation at the back of my mind. This disturbance at our borders was just one more thing to deal with, another weight to add to already heavy shoulders. All I wanted was to enjoy that moment of bliss with Avery, to bask in our perfect little bubble, but life never cared about our desires, did it? Ryder filled me in as we approached the border: “There’s been some movement in the east. It’s minimal, just a few figures spotted, but it could be a scouting party. We can’t let them get any closer.”

I hate how anxiety is slowly creeping in on me. Did anything happen while I was out cold for those three days? Mom seemed so sad now. She was the woman who always managed to smile, regardless of the challenges our pack encountered. Whatever went down, I was sure it wasn't anything good. "Please tell me." "Your dad and brother have been battling the rogues at the border for the past two days. Their numbers are growing, and our southern border has been completely breached. The packhouse there was set on fire, and some of the women are being captured as slaves."
