The Nook Of The North の小説・ストーリー

She nodded. The hilltop, as Rhia and Layla called it was a short mountain hike around the territory of the True North. At the very top, it gave a beautiful view of the town and it was where Rhiannon usually went to clear her head whenever it was getting a little too much for her. In a few minutes, she was seated on the rocky surface with her legs dangling over the edge. Her thoughts drifted from her meeting with the Alpha of the Timberfang Pack, how she was going to acquire this Pack's Grimoire and of course, if she could tell Layla about this.

Six months later... The wind in North Dakota had a bite to it, but the sky stretched wide and endless, like a soft blue promise. The air smelled fresh, a little wild—like new beginnings. I stood by the window of our small off-campus apartment, cradling a chipped mug of hot cocoa between my hands. The windows fogged slightly from the warmth, and outside, the trees shivered, shaking loose the last stubborn golden leaves. Behind me, I heard Noah moving around—the heavy thud of books hitting the floor, the low, sleepy curses as he dug through his bag.

The sound of him arguing with himself about the water temperature was extremely familiar and extremely welcome. Fen was somewhere in the northeast cluster, mapping the fourth of the new territories' potential nodes. He had sent a photograph at dawn: the northeastern borderland in early light, the Ground's signal visible in the way it was visible only to him, the Watcher's perception making legible what was there before the architecture arrived.

The sky narrowing. Nana woke up when the trees started. She looked out the window and registered the changing landscape and then looked at the back of my head. "Where are we," she said. "Crossing into the northern regions," I said. "Another hour and a half." She looked at the trees getting taller. "I have never been this far north," she said. "It is different from the western territory," I said. "Yes," she said. "I can feel that already." I looked at her in the mirror.

“But wars leave things behind and wars leave scars that do not heal and wars leave wolves who are not ready to stop fighting because they have been fighting for so long that they do not know how to stop.” Nova’s gaze shifted toward the northern tree line where the forest grew thicker and darker and where the scouts had reported that the northern packs had gone silent and where the land had felt cold and empty when I had walked it with Rowan. “The north has been quiet and the scouts have reported nothing hostile and the packs that once hunted there have gone silent in a way that does not feel like retreat.”

I made my way to the middle. I could hear the frost crunching beneath my boots. It was still dark-sky cold enough for the air to bite and for one to see one's breath — it was then so cold one did not want to wake up but rather look forward to staying numb. The northern sky was changing from a dark blue to the first hint of grey at the eastern horizon, the light arriving in the distinctly slow manner common to winter mornings in the north. Rokan came in from the west side.

“And it was one of the best things I have done for myself.” “Where did the tides of adventure….” I leaned back. “Lead you this time.” Knox set his fork down and dabbed the corner of his mouth with his napkin, stars in his eyes and said, “South, then east.. Ended up near the Marrow Hills.” “That’s rogue territory!” Lady Ambessa announced, brows furrowing in displeasure. “Exactly, mother. Nothing like a few broken bones and feral snarls to make you miss mom’s soup. You still make that stew with the shredded chicken?”

I asked as he sat next to me and began eating. He tried to pretend he had a mouth full of food but I gave him a glare as I cut into the omelet and took a mouthwatering bite. I moaned lightly at the delicious food. He sighed after shollowing. "You are aware the northern most territories are run by mostly rogue packs?" He half asked half stated. I nodded so he continued.

And I promise you this. Even if I have to shake hands with Rebel for it,I will do it. "Alpha King! We are ready !" Mindlinked Ben and I try to hold myself together. Splashing come water on my face and pulling up my shirt. Staring at my cold and emotionless eyes in the mirror,I reply. "I am coming." ...................................................... The northern trail is a small village located at the top of moonlight territory. A scarcely populated area with around 100 inhabitants. The earlier incidents of rogue trafficking were mostly reported from this area and we decided to visit this place first.

After getting dressed and my shoes on I entered the main suite to see Conri there speaking with his mom. Clasping my hands I lowered my eyes and turned to go toward the glass door patio to view the outside. Glancing over the numerous buildings that appeared like a small town I looked at the snow-capped mountains and tundra in the distance. The Noatak River winded through the land and looked amazing. “You like the scenery, Jade? Noatak Alaska is a beautiful place,” Conri stated as he came to my side. His scent tickled my nose. I realized he smelled very nice, just like the flannel and black tee I had slept in. I lifted my finger to brush the tip of my nose as I peeked up at his profile.
