The General Homecoming Novels & Stories

"Come on, baby, let's get out of here." "Where are we going, momma?" "On an adventure to a new place. How exciting is that?" I force myself to sound more excited than I feel and thankfully Nina buys it as her all body starts bouncing with excitement as we turn away from the only place that she has ever known as her home and head back down the alleyway and to the start of our new life.

Chad walks into the house and immediately spots the fort, widening his eyes in surprise. “What’s that? Did I just walk into a time machine?” he teases, putting the bags he’s holding on top of the coffee table and looking at me. Ryan comes right after him, a soft smile on his lips as he takes in the scene before him. “It feels like we’re back in the ‘90s again,” he adds, coming to greet me with a tight hug. “Hi, Hays.” “Hey, brother. How have you been?” I reply, hugging him back. “How did the honeymoon treat you?”

“Oh, you just have to be the one who is right like always, don’t you?” “ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT!” Mrs. Keener finally yelled louder than those two people. “The most important is that the sound system is returned and the committee can set it up for the event. For Miss Hartwell, thank you for caring about the properties. Miss Whitlock, thank you for telling the truth. As for you boys, thank you for returning—but please, don’t repeat this again.” Olive crooked her eyebrows. “That’s it? No punishment?” “Not for now,” Mrs. Keener sighed. “Homecoming is two days away. We should focus on making it happen, okay, guys?”

I hope it's not another game of truth or dare cause I officially hate truth or dare actually I hate all games and I strongly believe the government should ban or at least create some kind of restrictions on games. “Umm what game exactly?” “ Didn't Max tell you” “ Bridgehall academy is playing their first ever homecoming game and it's tonight” I could see the excitement written all over his face with the way he displayed his 36 teeth, maybe just 26 if you counted it from his tiny mouth. “Homecoming?” I raised an eyebrow “ Yes, Charlotte, I really think you should come, it's a distraction from the whole new girl problem”. My eyes narrowed, was it obvious I was overthinking about the whole trut

He puts his arm around me again. I force a smile. "Yeah let's go." I say as we take out our school ID's so the teachers at the doors can scan them. After that's done we walk inside the big gym where homecoming is being held. The music is loud and everything is semi dark since the theme is glow in the dark. The entire big gym is packed. "Do you want group photos for the yearbook?" A photographer says and I look at the guys. They all nod. After we're done with the group photo I take a couples photo with Justin.

Just those few words, yet they possess such an enormity that threatens to revive my tears as my lined lips begin to tremble. This is it, I’m back home for real now. I take a glance around me, committing this heart-warming moment to my memory. Friends, family, and my Pack members...every trial and tribulation crafted the path back to redemption. I feel whole again, and like my sister said, I can now create new memories and be happy from now on. “I’m home.”

It's been ten years since I followed my fated mate, Grace Murphy, into the human world. Her childhood friend, Fred Williams, is dying. His one last wish? To experience marriage. Grace said yes. She told me she wanted to give her wedding to Fred. I didn't cry. I didn't fight. I just smiled, slid the ring off my finger, and handed it back to her. She brought Fred home and said she wanted to give him a home. I said, “Okay,” softly, and stepped aside—clean, neat, no fuss. She wanted to take Fred to Hawaii—the honeymoon destination I'd been dreaming about for years. I still helped her book everything, calm and composed. The day she boarded that plane, I finally answered the summons from my pack.

His eys seemed to say, “This is what I have to deal with in my home every day.” Well, that’s your choice. And that’s when Jessica traced where Cicio’s eyes had gone, and found me. Jessica stopped all the tears at once when she spotted me. Somehow she stood more straight in front of me. “Why are you here?” She asked coldly. “I didn’t get the invitation to your homecoming party. Apparently my Don got one.” She pointed at Cicio. As if the dramatic catastrophe at this moment wasn’t enough for her, Jessica snatched the collar of her son and flung him right in my direction.

Walter didn't need to be present or even notified. Out of concern for Ethel's age, he arranged for people to escort her back home for some rest.

“The nation needs saving. Someone has to make sure national security and world peace isn’t threatened.” “I know you are not allowed to divulge mission information, but how was it?” “Our boys came back with the bag,” a smile suddenly lighting up his face when he saw Georgia. “And who do we have here?” Georgia got down from the dining and walked over to the general, trying her best to perform a military salute before hugging the man. Even though this man was not her father, Georgia had always felt at home in his arms. His hug encompassed her in an ever flowing current of love, giving her another place to call home and showing her how much she was welcome here, just like the rest of the family.
