Space Rift Novels & Stories

The rift was gone—sealed, for now. But in the distance, beneath the pale dawn sky, something shimmered—a new mark burned into the earth, faint but unmistakable. Another rift. And from its center came a single sound. A heartbeat.

It connected. My heart soared as I gushed, "Hadrian, you finally answered. I—" A low, intimate moan interrupted me before I could finish. So, Hadrian had really taken Irwin to the hot springs. They had even booked a room. He didn't hang up. I didn't either, as if I was punishing myself. The sounds coming through the receiver lashed at my heart like a whip until I felt flayed to the bone. At last, I could endure no more and spoke up. "Hadrian, must you do this to me?"

The Rift They reached the rim just as the moon tipped into full eclipse, its light bleeding entirely crimson. Below them, the rift glowed in impossible colors—white-gold clashing against shadow-black, light and dark locked in a silent, furious dance. The seal—once a ring of standing stones bound by the oldest magic—was buckling, its runes flickering like dying embers. The gap at its heart yawned wider, spilling whispers into the air. The pack fanned out along the ridge, every gaze turning to Aria. She felt the weight of it all—hope and fear, trust and expectation—press into her bones.

1. The Rift Opens The rift pulsed like a second sun over the Western Reach. Ava stood at its edge, armored in midnight threads enchanted by Darius himself. Kael adjusted the shield rune on her spine, while Rowan watched the portal with narrowed eyes. “I don’t trust it,” Rowan said. “It’s not just a hole. It’s a trap.” Kael agreed. “It’s too stable. Rifts this size don’t hold unless something is holding them.”

The Rift and the sky split again and from far, far away, I heard howls. Real howls from outside. Finnick, kade. They were still waiting. They still believed I would come back. I fell to my knees, glowing, panting, broken but not defeated. Because now… the Rift itself was afraid of me. *********************** Finnick's pov A low, strange vibration hummed through the soil, rising up through my boots and rattling my bones. Kade stiffened beside me, his eyes locked on the Rift. “You feel that?” he muttered, blade already in his hand.

“Follow me.” They moved. Solaris air docks were a storm of activity—guards rushing, luminous engines roaring, and civilians being ushered away from the sky platforms as the winds above rippled with corrupted interference. The platform shook violently. Kade stumbled. “The Rift is pulling the currents.” Rian shouted, “He’s distorting the entire sky layer!” Selene smiled. “Then we’re just in time.” Kael grabbed Kade’s shoulder to steady him. “Don’t faint on me.”

Waves of terrifying hurricane wind tore open numerous extremely powerful rifts. Those were void rifts. In merely a single collision, space had already been torn apart, and numerous rifts had appeared. What kind of power was this? It was simply terrifying. In a flash, Rong Zun appeared beside Xing Mo. His palm trembled, and his spatial hand, which could tear through the sky, tried to grab Xing Mo at an incredibly fast speed. Xing Mo snorted coldly. His body shook, and a bright light shone behind him, forming numerous crystal mirrors that blocked in front of the spatial hand.

I explained. If Della and I were to be mates and there were already issues with dreams so vivid and desperate, I'd be lying if I didn't feel the fear creeping into my throat. "I've heard of mates having synchronised dreams. It just doesn't happen often," Lilith said as she turned the page of a book she was reading.

If Blake was to stay here and I was to go to Darkness on my own, we would feel the effects of it within a day. We would both fall sick, be unwilling to do anything of our routines, we would refuse to eat and we would basically be useless as werewolves. The mate bond was for life and, when it was as strong as ours is, it was dangerous for us to be apart. "I don't expect you to forgive me Jamie but you just need to know that I truly am sorry. I never wanted any of what has happened but I would like it if you would consider joining us in Darkness," I smiled weakly at her.

An obsidian stone is inside my seal, and the guards fall over themselves to let us inside once they know who I am. The wall is ridiculously tall, made of thick, reinforced steel. I crane my neck back, move my hair back to see it all. The portly guard pulls a lever, and a portion of it lowers. Clunky and groaning, the ice flys out, the gate forcing its way open. The gate lowers completely, warm water slowly trickles out, and the inside of Estate Eclipse is steaming. I grab onto Dante and he helps me past the blocks of ice until we cross the other side of the gate.
