The Hidden Place Novels & Stories

“It’s about 10 miles south of the Redcliff pack borders. I found it when I was out exploring as a kid. It’s been abandoned for years. I decorated it and turned it into a hideout. Very few know about this place. I only tell those I trust. I figured we could stay there for a couple of days. There are 2 bedrooms, a kitchen, and a full bathroom. It’s not fancy or anything, but it’s a good hiding spot for when you don’t want others to know where you are.” “A hiding spot?” I asked, my brows furrowed. “I had no idea such a place existed.” “That’s because I never told you,” he replied. “Like I said, very few know of its existence. But don’t worry. We’ll be there soon enough.”

Astrid Meredith's hideout was a place of quiet seclusion, nestled deep within the heart of the forest. The cabin, constructed from weathered wood and stone, blended seamlessly with its surroundings, almost as if it had grown there naturally. Thick vines and moss clung to the exterior, giving it an ancient, almost mystical appearance. It was a place where the modern world seemed to fade away, replaced by the timeless rhythms of nature.

But we have no choice but to keep moving. After what feels like hours, we finally reach the hideout—a small, camouflaged underground bunker hidden beneath the roots of a massive tree. The man gestures for us to follow him inside, and I help Alessandro descend the narrow, steep steps into the dark, cool space below. The scent of earth and moss fills my nostrils as we enter the hidden refuge. It’s small, cramped, but at least it’s out of sight. The man closes the door behind us, securing it with a heavy, iron bar. The darkness presses in, and I finally let myself breathe. For now, we’re safe. But only for now.

“Where. Is. He?” Glass shattered as Thomas dropped two men trying to storm the stairs. His voice was a growl over the chaos. “Rival, make it quick!” Moreno finally broke. “Upstate! He’s hiding upstate, outside Albany, on the training grounds—they’re rebuilding!” My chest went tight. Base Two wasn’t gone. They were multiplying. I yanked the blade free, blood gushing hot across my hands. Moreno slumped, sobbing, shaking. “You should’ve kept quiet,” I whispered. Then I drove the knife up through his jaw, into his skull. His eyes went glassy before his body even sagged.

But then there was silence. I saw a big tree not far away from me, so I crawled over there with my meager belongings and hid behind it. My leg started to bleed really fast and that was when I saw that the gash was immensely deep and the pain I felt started to be real. I could not see much but I could make out the blood that was already all over the floor. Shit. The. I heard voices. They were near and they were talking. “Why would she be the only person not around now? And why is the alpha king making this mandatory?” One said. I clutched my hands to my chest in fear of being caught.

Marcus watched me as if I were a bad joke. "Putting on a show." He sneered. "You think just making a call will" His words died on his lips. Because a loud roar suddenly came from outside the window. Everyone turned their heads, looking out the floor-to-ceiling windows. In the sky, a black private helicopter was slowly descending. On the side of the fuselage, a prominent silver 'V' crest was emblazoned. That was the Vanguard family crest. The entire corridor fell into a deathly silence.

It would always be damp and cold and musty, and one would always feel haunted and lost until they got out, and let the sunshine soak into their bare skin, chasing away the remnants of the dark, disturbing clutches of the main base. Dramatic and a little insane, yes, Win is aware. But Alex way of always avoiding talking about this place, all the mystery surrounding it, and the fact that nobody is ever allowed access to it unless you're a higher post, have done nothing but encourage those wild imaginations. It does not match the sight that is cheerily greeting Win right now.

No more hiding. *****************************************

She stared blankly into space, her face expressionless. He observed her for several minutes, and when he saw that she was sitting quietly, seemingly lost in deep thought, he decided to leave. But before he could walk away, he heard faint sobbing. He looked back at his neighbor. Her shoulders were trembling, and the soft sounds of her crying gradually grew louder.

Entering the Hidden Chamber The Enchanted Realm stood in tranquil majesty, its vibrant beauty a stark contrast to the hidden chamber that lay concealed within its depths.

This was a moment they had been building towards, a pivotal step on their journey to uncover the ancient artifacts that held the key to their mission's success.
