Third Shift Society Novels & Stories

When Grace’s presser was over and she was just answering questions, I stepped into the stairwell and made some calls. Humans may have very differing opinions about shifters but the plain truth is we are extremely integrated into society. There aren’t many places where you won’t find us and for the most part it's an unspoken bond we have to always help each other. Fitting in is hard enough, we all need to raise the others up. *I’ve made plans I really hope you’re there,* I said over mind-link. I hoped to make him jealous enough that he would give in. There was little chance he’d want me out getting all of Grace’s smiles and kisses to myself.

The city was no longer a fragile surface-dwelling; it was a rooted entity, its scars becoming its strongest points of connection. As the sun began to rise over the frozen city, the workers emerged from the tunnel, their breath blooming in the sub-zero air. They were tired, dirty, and cold, but there was a new kind of "Social Cohesion" in their movements. They had seen the "Transparency of the Scar" in the dark, and they had filled it with their own labor. Sophia stood at the tunnel entrance, watching the Southern sleds head home. The "Winter Shield" was holding, the "Trust-Hub" was warm, and the "Undergrid" was secure. The "Chemistry of Reciprocity" had become the very foundation of their wo

He warned me that when I finished my test, Archie would be waiting for me to take me to the Academy dormitories, and he would show me around so I wouldn't get lost the next few days. - "Now that we have finished with the Imperial Academy, let's move on to the next topic: knowing your place in today's society. First, Miss, can you tell me how our society works?" he asked me, chalk in hand, ready to write down all my answers on the board. - "Our society is based on three social classes, the nobility, the clergy and the peasantry. Moreover, it is hierarchical. The higher we are in status, the more opportunities and privileges we have," I answered without hesitation and Keith nodded, indicating

Olivia stood back and looked at me. “You want to talk Bash?” she asked me and I stared into her beautiful eyes. I didn’t, I was over this and I was over having to share her. I looked down thinking for a minute, if I stopped this it means I would have to give up Olivia and that I certainly didn’t want to do. If I had her I had to share her with Blake, it killed me and all I wanted was Olivia to be mine, completely mine. We had been a threesome for the last year and it was clear I was the only person with the problem. I think I would feel even sicker if I had to watch her be with Blake and not me. Me and Blake had been best friends since we were kids, we had shared a few women and Blake had gi

Crazy how getting through the worst shit flips the script. Turns straight enemies into ride-or-die. Survival don’t give a fuck about old rules but it writes new ones in blood.

Moreover, modern society was very different compared to feudal society. In a feudal society, anyone could try to usurp the position as the king, but in modern society, everyone paid close attention to the law and legal system. The entire Schulz family’s assets and shares were held entirely under Lord Schulz’s name.

Then how would they explain this when, and it was when and not if, the humans found out? It would become a stain on the image they developed. Alpha Richards and Wolversen brought up a project where there would be a location for what they’d re-titled disenfranchised shifters and shifters in flux could hold up in safety. Humans could choose to live among them if they so chose. There, these shifters would find access to proposed services to help them find a new welcoming community, better access to a roof over their heads, education, healing. These were stumbling blocks before, now once their community officially introduced itself to the world, these services could have better access.

If the society’s caste system became top heavy, it wouldn’t survive, because those that did the majority of the work wouldn’t have a large enough population to meet the needs of the entire empire’s population. Allan felt happy to be a wolf shifter. Family and pack mattered. All for one. “Yes, of course. I’ve learned my lesson. This cemented the reason in my mind.” “Good. Then if you don’t need your hand held, we’ll head off and see if we can’t have a quiet afternoon. You should get some rest. We’ll have a busy evening.”
