True North Novelas e Histórias

I croaked. He had called it my "true nature" before. I'd always thought that referred to the type of person you were, not what kind of being you were. Did an animal act solely based on its biological makeup or on something else I couldn't name, maybe its soul? Personality? Was it a mix of them all? Was a being's true nature a combination of all these things? It didn't seem fair to lump a person's true nature in one category. To me, the true nature of a being was as unique as a fingerprint. "Sure, Tru. I wonder which one it is? Your father or mother?"

"Danger? Who are you underestimating, Dylan? I can wipe out their race in one blow if I have to. I am an Alpha, a warrior. Remember that." Baron growled at Dylan as I continued to walk. It didn't took time when I felt a smack on my head. "Aw! What was that for?" I shot him a glare. Dylan rolled his eyes. "Wait for me here. I'll just get my jacket." "You're coming?" "As if I can let you go by yourself." I smirked. "Sweet." We ended up in the old town of Salem. It's late and were just walking based on my intuition. I can feel that she's here. I stopped and sniffed the air when my nose caught a faint sweet scent. I sniffed again and my wolf became giddy.

I outpace the wolves. I look around, and they're all gone. Then, I face a new dilemma. The water is tugging at me. It's hard to stay standing. We must be near a waterfall or something because the rapids are rough. I need to get out this water, but I used all my strength in trying to fight the wolves. I try to fight against the tide, but it isn't easy. It's pulling me in. One misplaced step, and I fall into the water. My head bangs against the rocks, causing searing pain through my temples. And then, everything goes black.

I turned off the engine and glanced over at my sleeping companions Anya had fallen asleep not long after Zeena had dozed off with the leather book on her thighs "We're here. Wake up, you two" I announced and their eyes fluttered open as they sat up Zeena yawned and stretched "Finally" We all opened our doors and climbed out "Whose house is this?" I heard Zeena ask Anya as we walked towards the front door "The man I told you has been like a father to me, the Alpha of this pack; Alpha Scott" Anya answered her as I opened the door and stepped aside for them to enter first

Everyone looked at him as he continued, "These oil lamps form a galaxy. They're lined up based on the stars we see in the sky, while the platform is where the Big Dipper is located. This direction is the True North." Adrian had lost his sense of direction since arriving in the palace. He could not identify the directions. But after studying the formation of lamps, he now knew where True North was. It was indicated by the seven oil lamps on the platform. Everyone was stunned. Rozi said, "You might be right, but what do you think it's trying to tell us? Could it really be purely for decorative purposes?"

Henry couldn't resist my requests, so he agreed. I loved the sea. Back when I was still studying, I often took walks by the seaside. Now, Henry pushed me slowly along the coast, and when we saw someone selling balloons, he bought one for me. I had heard that you could write a wish on a balloon, and when it floated up to the sky, it would tell the gods to make your wish come true. I took out a permanent marker and wrote down my little secret wish on the balloon. Henry wanted to see it, but I playfully covered it, not letting him peek.

Thane’s chest expanded under her cheek as he took a deep breath, his fingers tracing a slow, absent-minded pattern on her arm. "North," he said, his voice a low rumble she felt as much as heard. "Deep into the old woods, past the jagged peaks. The land is wild, untouched. The air is so clean it hurts your lungs. The trees are so tall they block out the sun." He paused, and the warmth in his voice cooled.

I looked at him—so young, yet already carrying the quiet authority of a king—and nodded with satisfaction. I had always known Gabriel sent nearly his entire Coven searching for us. What he never imagined—could never imagine—was that the woman and child he believed to be wandering, powerless Outcasts were in fact the true heirs of the North. And once my father learned how I and my son had been humiliated within the Brown family, there was no chance he would allow that truth to surface. So after our return to the North, no matter how desperately Gabriel searched, he found nothing. After all—

Finding out the people who are most trusted on your society to keep everyone safe are the ones everyone needs to be kept safe from makes you unable to tell friend from foe anymore. I realised Nova was tugging my hand trying to get my attention. Looking up I saw we had stopped and the others were getting out of the cars. Men and women in head to toe black fatigues were jogging into position, preparing to surround the meeting house. This was it. I could feel the excitement and the fear radiating through the bond with Nova.

I said, sounding like I was trying to convince myself instead. They looked at each other then started laughing. “Yeah, sure. The truth will set you free Hayes.” Theo muttered. “Veritas vos liberabit.” Max said in a language I didn’t understand. The truth she tried to remind me of. That was the only truth in all of this. Somehow, I was leaning closer than I should be. And I was stil texting her. YOU : You’re coming tonight right? JUNE : do I have a choice? YOU : no. JUNE : that sounded slightly threatening. YOU : good.
