Novel & Cerita Solo Players Friend Novel

No visits. No seeing each other. Only phone calls and mind-links. For the first time since waking up, I felt genuinely alone. Slowly, my friends approached the bed one by one. River hugged me first. Tightly. As though she was afraid I might disappear. Mel followed. Though he pretended not to be emotional about it. Troy came next. His hug was brief but sincere. Each goodbye felt heavier than the last. Finally, only Lyall remained. The room seemed strangely quiet.

Riley shook his head slightly, a faint smile pulling at the corner of his mouth before he set the phone down again. That— was good. Better than good. He hadn’t really thought about it until now, but the idea of not doing this alone settled into place easily. Sure, he had Aria and Sofia and the others — the usual gamer group — but having a real‑life friend? That was different. Something familiar. Something normal. After everything else— it mattered more than it should have. Riley picked up the pot noodle and moved back into the main room, dropping into his chair as he ate slowly, not really paying attention to it, his thoughts quieter now, steadier.

And I sure as hell never thought I'd be the type to keep going back to the same woman for a threesome—especially not my sister's childhood friend. We're not exclusive. Made that clear from the start. Just a no-strings hookup. Still, I figured it would blow up eventually. Ashley always struck me as the jealous type. The slap-the-shit-out-of-you-for-looking-at-another-woman type. Turns out, I was dead fuckin' wrong. Because right now she's sprawled out on this table, Diamond's head between her thighs, moaning like she was made for it—and loving every second as much as I am.

Clara nestled into his arms, pretending to be timid. "Dan, do you think this is—" Daniel cut her off, running his hand through her hair with a look full of affection. "After everything you've been through, this little lesson is nothing." Everyone around them fell silent, afraid to make a sound. I glared at Daniel, speaking each word like a blade. "Ten years of friendship… Does that mean nothing to you? Daniel, let go of me. I'm willing to forgive and forget. But if you don't, you'll regret it."

In the end, Caleb sent me to a mental health facility, claiming I had gone crazy. … Somehow, life gave me a second chance. I opened my eyes to the day my best friend was diagnosed with cancer. This time, I swore I wouldn't let them win.

"The old lady from The Crystal Moon Pack... she told me that an enemy is within us. She said this enemy would make Novel die twice, and if she dies, it would be my end. I’ve been so paranoid trying to make sure she doesn't die... I didn't know who to trust. I really don't know the truth of it all, but that's what she said." I looked at him, truly looked at him, and felt a wave of pity. Viktor was alone in this world. He had no family, no mate…..only me. And I had doubted him. I realized then that Novel must have been wrong in her suspicions about him. Viktor had been my best friend since before I could even shift. Doubting his loyalty felt like a betrayal of our entire lives together. "Alpha

“I was in the bathroom with my head…” I almost mentioned my headphones when I remembered she had seen them in Daniel’s room. If I completed my sentence, she would know I had been in his room. “…my head in this new book I was reading online. It’s so interesting. It’s about a girl who gets betrayed by her best friend and the man she loves but finds a man that’s like a hundred times better…” I was rambling, but it was better than nothing. Lucia rolled her eyes, already bored of my story. At least, she believed me.

She trailed off. And then I knew. She had seen it. The first six words of the chapter. I fucked my best friend’s brother. She let out an awkward chuckle, glancing at me over her phone. “Well, this is an... interesting way to start a chapter.” But when she saw my face, her smile faded. “I’m sorry,” I said, my voice breaking. Her expression fell as she dropped her phone on the bed. “What are you apologizing for? It’s just a book, right?” Her voice was soft now, almost pleading.

I think we were running off pure adrenaline by the end of it. I chuckled, but my eyes slid to Allison, and there was a worried furrow in my brow. "Sounds like you two have had quite the adventure," I said. Hannah grinned. "Definitely. Allison is my rock. I don't know what I'd do without her. Allison's flush deepened. She was grateful and full of guilt at Hannah's praise, relieved she had her support, but at the same time, sickeningly reminded of the secret she kept from her best friend. She glanced across me, I returned a small, encouraging smile.

"Nova, I really can't take this anymore. Please tell them that the recordings you posted are fake." I refused without hesitation. Elise panicked. "Nova, we were best friends, weren't we? You can't just let them destroy me!" I let out a cold laugh. "When you framed me online, did you think of me as your best friend then?" Guilt flashed across her face. "Nova, I'll apologize. Please, just help me." I turned her down flat. "Forget it. I don't accept your apology, and I'm not going to help you."
