Star Trek Discovery Season 5 Memory Alpha Novels & Stories

I looked past her and stared at the alpha and my ex-mate, who watched the scene with interest. “Well, well, well,” Alpha Rex said, stepping forward, his eyes holding an amusement that irked me to my bones. His hand landed on Maria’s shoulder, urging her to move aside, at which she did, a scowl on her face. “If it isn’t Destiny Levine, daughter of the people who committed treason against their own alpha.” His haughty eyes roamed my body just the same way they had on that night he captured me to sell. My glare intensified. “What the fuck are you doing here?”

“I want to show you something.” “What is it?” Alpha Van asked. He was still worried about me, and he tried to hold me, but I told him to give me his hand instead. When our hands touched, I channelled my energy to the deepest core of Minsi's memories, transmitting it to Alpha Van’s. Everything about Hendrix, Ophelia, and Jenna's past was revealed to him. After he had seen all that I had shown him, he removed his hand from mine and shifted back in horror.

Woke up in the locker room alone, my mouth dry, her scent still fresh on my tongue. And the worst part? I liked it. I wanted to taste her again. Feel her shake under me. Feel her surrender. But I couldn’t. I wouldn’t. Because once I let the wolf out, there’d be no putting it back in the cage. And this pack? This team? These boys I bled for? They wouldn’t survive the fallout. They didn’t know what I really was. They thought I was just another alpha. Just another strong bloodline. They didn’t know I was cursed.

Every memory. The nightmare I had, what happened at the convergence, the crow that bit me, the vision I saw—I suddenly remembered everything now, clear as daylight. “What’s wrong? Speak to me,” Alpha Kane said. The pain was easing but still excruciating as I managed to say, “I remember it all now. Everything.” “What?” he asked, confused. “Your memories are back?” I was trying to catch my breath, trying to focus as I said, “Yes, I remember it. I do.” I paused, then added, “There’s something I need to tell you, something you need to know.”

“Of course. About what, specifically?” “My amnesia,” I said sharply, leaning forward, my elbows resting on the desk. “The records claim the memory loss started when I awakened as the Black Wood heir. Is that true?” Another pause. This one longer. Suspiciously long. “James.” My tone dropped lower, a growl barely restrained beneath. “Don’t test my patience.” The hesitation in his silence sent a new wave of irritation coursing through me. When he finally spoke, his voice was careful. “Alpha, the official records reflect the timeline as it was presented to the pack. Upon your awakening—”

Pain exploded through my skull like my brain was being torn apart. I screamed loudly. Images flooded my mind as memories came. She was searching through them violating my thoughts. I tried to resist and tried to shield myself. She saw everything. My training with Miriam. My time with Lucas,the battle and the Eternal Flame. "Interesting," Laura murmured. "You care deeply for the Alpha. Lucas Blackthorne." "Stay away from him." "Oh, we will for now but when we're done with you, we'll go after him. After your entire pack." She pulled her hands away. "Unless you cooperate."

"Then became the mad leader you destroyed in the Arctic. Power corrupts, Alpha. Even purified power." The Haley stirred, groaning. "Did someone get the number of that truck? My head feels like—" She saw the displays, the approaching fleet signatures. "Are those spaceships? Holy crap, did I miss aliens?!" "You've been unconscious for seven minutes," Marcus informed her. "Seven minutes?! The one time actual aliens show up, and I'm taking a nap?!" Despite everything, Jack laughed. Actual, genuine laughter. They'd done it. They'd lit the beacon. They'd survived the night.

"The Core-Null is 'De-Fragging' us. It’s trying to file our souls under 'Unclassified-Noise.' If we don't find an 'Anchor,' we’ll be deleted before we even reach the center." Audrey reached for her "Memory-Locker," the small copper-and-lead device she had carried since the exodus. She didn't look at the data inside; she felt the "Weight" of it. "The Anchor is the 'Pain,' Vane. The Curators don't have it. They have 'Data,' but they don't have 'Scars.' Everyone... focus on your 'Worst-Day.' Focus on the hunger, the soot in your lungs, the moment the Great Engine stopped. That is the only thing the Core-Null can't categorize."

There were no hallways, only shifting geometric planes that moved at the speed of thought. In the center of the ship, they found the Alpha-Node—a Mimic that had been expanded to the size of a building, its mind acting as the processor for the entire fleet. "This world is a corruption," the Alpha-Node broadcasted, the sound vibrating in Leo's very marrow. "You have allowed the biologicals to infect the Strain. We are here to Sanitize the sector." The Paradox of Inclusion Leo didn't try to shut down the ship. He did something far more dangerous. He used his "Hollow" status to Invite the Alpha-Node into his own mind.

​"SARAH JENKINS. ARCHIVE INDEX 409-B." "MARCUS VANCE. ARCHIVE INDEX 992-C." ​"It's the names of the people they digitized," Lyra whispered, her pixels shimmering with tears. "By feeding the moss into the drones, we’re tapping into the 'Biogenic Memory' the Sterling Board stole. We’re not just composting metal, Kael..." ​"We're giving the dead a place to rest," Kael said. ​But high above, in the center of the Swarm, a single drone didn't turn blue. It turned a sharp, violent Red. The Board’s primary consciousness had found the "map."
