The Originals Finn Novels & Stories

He was just a responsible uncle. “Uncle Ronan, I can take care of Momma myself.” Finn tilted his head up, his voice calm, then he awkwardly pushed a piece of cooked meat towards me with his little paw. Kael's hand, holding the deer meat, froze in mid-air. A flicker of shock crossed his face; he even dropped the meat. It was the first time Finn had called him “Uncle Ronan” so clearly, so distantly. Before, no matter how Kael corrected him, Finn would stubbornly mumble “Daddy.”

"Are you kidding? Okay, let me put it this way. Night Walkers and Ruby Tears are known as the children of the Six Originals, but Livia is their protégé, a born leader." Originals? There's that name again. Livia mentioned them: Adrian, Alicia, the councilman, and Malakai. "I constantly keep hearing you guys mentioning the Originals. Who are they?" They looked back and forth before Alaric soughed, "Out of respect, we can't tell you in detail. But the Originals are the founders of Hidden City with high connects." "So they are super wealthy people that create worlds in their spare time?" Jack joked.

She would not make that mistake again. Tell me about your family, she said. Your mother. Your sister. What are their names? Finnian's face softened. His mother was named Anya. His sister was named Mira, the same name as Ela's adopted daughter. They lived in a small village near the border, where his mother wove blankets and his sister dreamed of becoming a healer. Finnian had come to the academy to earn money for them, to give them a better life. Instead, he had become a spy. Instead, he had put them in more danger than ever before.

“You smell so fucking good. Even better than Imani. Much stronger and—” “I smell?” Sally backed up again. “What the hell is going on?” Maddox got to Finn’s side. “You should go outside.” Finn drank in Sally. “Can I at least meet her? You promised.” Sally turned to her. Shock covered Camille's face. “Hello.” Finn prowled forward and stopped a foot in front of her. “My name is Finn.” Surprisingly, Sally inched forward with intrigue in her eyes. “My name is Sally.”

Finn's formal integration into our confederation's leadership structure proceeded with careful deliberation over the following years, his unique warrior bloodline eventually earning recognition as our network's sixth founding family, restoring what Wren Duskmere had come to call the Compact's complete, original structure after generations of believing that sixth thread permanently lost. "There's something you should understand," Finn told me privately, nearly three years into his marriage with my daughter, his own confidence and capability having grown considerably beyond the frightened, silent boy Wren had once rescued from that isolated mountain village. "The quiet voice, or whatever equiv

Finn isn’t just making us kill random criminals. He’s pulling us into the war. And the worst part? We didn’t see it coming. His name is Jonah Carver. Mid-level enforcer. The kind of guy who keeps Rosetti’s people in check, runs their weapons trade, makes problems disappear. Killing him? It wouldn’t just be another hit. It would be a declaration. Finn is using us to start something bigger. And if we go through with it, there’s no turning back. Levi and I stand outside the car, a few feet away from Owen, voices low.

“Thank you for rescuing me. You didn't have to put yourself at risk for me.” Finn stops walking and turns to face me. He reaches out his thumb and brushes my cheek gently. “I’m just repaying the debt, Rhea. You saved my life when I was dying from that poison. I wasn't going to leave you in that cage to die.” I take a deep breath, feeling a bit more courageous. “So…who exactly are you, Finn? I know you're a wolf, but there’s more to it, isn't there?” He smiles at me, though the smile doesn't quite reach his eyes. “Well… my full name is Finley Stone, and I was once the Alpha of the BlueThorn pack. A pack that is just as big as the famous moonshade pack.”

Even Josh and Bennet only have basic info. “Gunner! How are you?!” I run up and hug Rory’s beta. “Good, Greta. Who’s this?” He holds me next to him as he notices Finn. “You’re more worried about me than asking how she’s doing in return. Some friend. The name’s Finn. Alpha Ryker assigned me as her back up for this mission.” Finn holds out his hand. Gunner stares at it for a second, then looks at me for confirmation. “He’s one of our newest warriors. This is mission one, with us, but he’s been at this for a while. Alpha Ryker thinks he can provide some insight into these rogues.”

What does he mean ability? The doctor chuckles. “I’ll let our Alpha and Luna explain everything to you, when they get here. In the meantime, Finn can catch you up on the pack. He has been waiting patiently to talk to you. He is also a male omega, just like you.” What? A male omega? That can’t be possible. I turn and look at Finn. Before I can even ask, he smiles and says, “Yes. I’m a male omega. We have a few of them here, including Luna Kane and Ben, who will someday be a High Elder just like his mother.”

They each were dark, some a little lighter here and there, but all of them—Finn included, were Black Irish. As much as I loved seeing Declan, I had to admit—Finn fascinated me. Not because he was beautiful, which he was. As an artist, I had to appreciate that there was something about him that took him up a level. Aoife was definitely a lucky lady. But there was something undeniable. Indefatigable. Something that I’d never heard rumors about, which meant either Aidan Sr. had squashed them into dust a long time ago, or… well, nobody had ever figured it out.
