The Lone Wanderer Novels & Stories

Tell her you’re mine. I traced the path with my finger, memorizing every detail. Lunar Falls. I’d heard whispers of it, a mysterious place where wolves who didn’t fit into traditional pack structures went to find refuge. Rogues, outcasts, those with nowhere else to go. It would be a two-week journey on foot, through dangerous territory. But it was a destination. A purpose. Hope. A soft tapping at my window made me jump. I looked up to see a shadow on the other side of the tiny window; someone was on the roof.

Then, as the figure’s hand reached the edge of the cave wall, I moved. I lunged forward, dagger flashing. The blade stopped just a heartbeat before slicing skin. “Whoa there,” a calm voice said. “You’re a bit jumpy, aren’t you?” I blinked, my dagger trembling midair. It was him. The wanderer. He stood there in the fading light, the same wide-brimmed hat shading his eyes, a half-smile curving his lips. His camel stood behind him, chewing lazily on dry grass. “Hello again,” he said softly. “You seem to need a bit of help.”

“Wanz’s is playing poker for credit. That’s why he can’t afford to pay his pianer player an honest wage,” Xavier endured these witticisms silently. He was in a worse mood than usual, and he knew why. Jake Spoon had come to town and promptly deprived him of a whore, an asset vital to an establishment such as his in an out-of-the-way place like Lonesome Dove. Many a traveler, who might not ordinarily come that far, would, because of Lorie. There was no woman like her on the border. She was not friendly, but because of her, men came and stayed to drink away the night. He would

It was a beautiful place to grow up, and it was going to be a terrible pain when I left. Part of me always hoped I would end up like my parents, waiting an eternity to meet my mate. I didn’t want anyone, even if they weren’t my mate, I didn’t have boyfriends. I was quite happy “flying solo”. As a female wolf, I have to follow my mate to their pack. Which meant leaving my brothers, my parents, and a town that, well, they probably wouldn’t mind. Gareth knew I was daydreaming as we walked, so he just directed me where to go. When we got to our mother’s office, he patted me on the head again.

*They’re coming. Not today. Not tomorrow, perhaps. But soon. She adjusts the hood. Pulls it lower. Keeps her steps steady. The plains stretch endless ahead—gold under moonlight, silver under stars. Somewhere behind her, Elias clutches a halo stone and wonders if mercy is still possible. Somewhere ahead, the border waits—lawless, wild, full of places where a necromantress might hide. Or be hunted. Raven Winterstar walks on. Small. Silent. Alone again.

He picked up the faint sound of an older man's voice and used his hyper vision to try and observe where it came from. He saw someone. Someone in a cowboy hat with a black mask and a black suit, carrying a red sniper while making his way back to a speedboat at the coast. "Boss is gonna sh*t himself when he hears this..." was the last thing Carlos had heard as the engines started and the boat headed out into the angry ocean. (He left?!) Carlos was still hyperly confused and yet, relieved. "I...have...to get...away from...here!" he strained using his remaining strength but something was off.

Zendedari made his way outside into the cool night air. The wind tugged at his clothing, raked at his long hair. A lone wolf howled, endlessly calling for a mate. The sound caught at him, touched a spot in him, and he lifted his head and crooned softly into the night. The wolf was wandering far from its companions, alone, an outcast to those who did not understand its predatory nature A sound alerted him, a mere rustle in the underbrush, but it was enough to draw his mind away from the wolf and back to the enemy stalking him. He lowered his body into a crouch, centering himself for the attack.

In the depths of hell, I learned who I was. It takes a strong soul to endure so much pain and heartache and still make it out alive.... to not get stuck in the deep burning pit of misery. It takes a resilient creature to claw its way, back up out of the darkness and back into a reality, where your nightmares, can finally turn into dreams. My human name is Sebastian Quinn. I have been a lone wolf since the alpha of the Moon Shadow pack disbanded and disowned me from the pack a hundred years ago because of my special and reliable ability that is one-of-a-kind; knowing everyone's truth and lies.
