Safe Haven Novels & Stories

“How long?” Max grunted, eyes fixed on the road. “Ten more minutes. If Zoya’s pin’s good, the safehouse will be clear.” “Zoya’s always good,” Landon replied. “She’d better be,” Max muttered. “We just poked a hornet’s nest.” Daphne glanced up. “Where is this safehouse?” Max didn’t take his eyes off the road. “You will see.” “It’s remote,” Landon added. “And safe.”

"THE MOMENT YOU THINK YOU HAVE WON IS THE MOMENT THE WORLD REMINDS YOU THAT YOU HAVEN'T." DANTE The safe house sits on twelve acres outside the city. Most people would not call it a safe house if they knew what the back half of the property was used for. Safe house implies protection, refuge, somewhere you go when the world is trying to get you. This place is somewhere you go when you are the thing the world should be afraid of.

"It is a fortress. The underground bunker is secure." "No," I said. "The Pack House is compromised too. Someone lowered the shields Kael. Someone let them in." Kael’s face darkened. "Marcus." "Or someone Marcus owes money to," I said. "We cannot trust anyone. We are on our own." "We go to the Safe House," Kael decided. "It is an old hunting cabin in the mountains. Nobody knows about it except the Alpha line. It is off the grid." I considered it. It was risky. But we had no other choice.

"Avery Maddox? This is Officer Eve Dove. Your brother gave me your number. We need to talk. Now. Are you somewhere safe where we can speak privately?" I looked around my apartment. The walls suddenly felt thin. The windows suddenly felt exposed. Everything that had seemed like sanctuary ten minutes ago now felt like a trap. "I think so," I said, my voice shaking. "But I do not know anymore. I do not know what safe even means." "Safe means away from Mateo Reyes. Safe means not answering his calls or texts. Safe means packing a bag and being ready to move at a moment's notice." Eve's voice was professional but not unkind. "Can you do that? Can you be ready?"

“There were three men casing the right side of your building, one on the floor above yours, one on the lower level stairwell and one on your floor. Whatever troubles your boyfriend’s gotten you into must be a fucking doozy to have that many guys itching for ya.” Squeezing shut her eyes, Zoe curled her arms around herself, desperately trying to sink in to herself to become as small as possible. “There’s a safe house not far from here. Round the clock security, surveillance, constant monitoring. I can take you there but it ain’t free.” “I can get money,” Zoe gulped, nodding vigorously. “I can get some.” “Are you trying to convince me or yourself, kid?” he chuckled, stubby fingers twirling the

Since nobody left, the system listed out the first set of choices for us to select. "Please choose your safehouse: "1. An apartment built of plastic in the biggest desert in the world with no water or electricity "2. A military armory "3. A luxury RV with a full tank "4. An air raid shelter in the city with airtight doors "5. A campsite with ample supplies on Seafoam Island." "You should pick the campsite, Ms. Johnson! You're usually so good at keeping track of things. Our minds would be at ease with you taking stock of our resources!"

Elyse would nearly nag me to death if I smoke at home and I knew better than to incur that little spitfire’s wrath. “Took you long enough” I didn’t look at him when I said that. My back was turned to him as I stared at the large expanse of land before me. We were at one of my safe houses hidden in a deep forest a few miles away from home and every other civilizations around. That’s the purpose of having it here, to keep it away from the eyes of regular people. I’ve got a few other safe houses but apart from my mansion, this is the safest one of them all and the only one where I thought was fit to keep the rescued girls at. Far away from wandering eyes but most especially away from Luciano.

"Hello, Audrey ..." I was shocked to hear Kirk's voice. But his voice was kind of strained. "What is it?" "They're in the hospital Ate Diana." "W-What?" I was startled. The pain I was feeling was replaced with so much fear. "What the fuck are you saying, Kirk?" "Velez Hospital. Come here. I will explain everything to you," he said seriously. "There's a chopper going there. You can use that to come here." "W-What's going on? Is Ate okay? Zach and Sia? Are they fine? Answer me!"

However, since that’s not the goal at the moment Aeon kept the team moving. At the turn they were now heading west, out of the city. The buildings were slowly, but steadily becoming smaller and smaller. After an hour past the turn all the buildings were houses, most only one story. The Safe Point is located in one of the second story houses, half a mile from the last house at the very edge of the city. It’s rarely used except in the fall, when crops are brought into the base to be preserved in one of the lower levels.

I spot several people walking and running towards it, trying to get themselves to a safe place before all the craziness happens. I enter the safe house, to find it crammed with people and children, running around, trying to find someplace to spend the night. The place was big enough to comfortable house and seat everyone in the pack. I find a quiet corner in the safe house, which is an underground bunker, camouflaged with thick trees and bushes. I ask the twins to sit there for a minute, while I gather all the supplies that I think we would possibly need. I grab a couple of blankets, pillows, and towels, a couple of water bottles and make my way back to my children, hoping they stop being af
