Ultima Godzilla Novels & Stories

[Didn't get to say this earlier, but I'm out of forgiveness cards. [Let's get a divorce.] My phone started blowing up right after.

Word traveled fast. Three hours later, every group chat across the deep-sea industry had exploded. Brody showed me his phone. Griffin had posted a bounty across every channel he could reach. $100 million to whoever brought Cora up alive. "He's lost his mind." Brody scrolled through the screen. "$100 million. Who wouldn't be tempted? But at that depth..." "Someone will go." Of course, someone did. Within two hours, three teams had accepted the job.

I was at the end, and I couldn't control my body anymore. I motioned for her to look at my bag. She pulled out the contract, and she broke down again after reading it. "Viola, you can't die! I won't allow it! You can't die!" She collapsed next to me, sobbing uncontrollably. I glanced at the clock on the wall. Only two hours left before I would leave this world. Suddenly, my phone buzzed. Selena picked it up and showed me the screen. [Viola, after all these years of fighting with me, you finally lost! Your parents, your mate, and your son—they're all mine now! You've finally faced the truth, haven't you? In your parents' eyes, you'll never be better than me!]

Not yet, wait, we fight the first ones…the rest will let them fall in, she turned and gasped. There are too many. Salem opened it….and her hands were holding bows and arrows, my beast claws came out, and the fight began. Salem slammed his hands onto the ground as the circle on his back lit up; the earth started to split. We killed the remaining ones on our side as we watched the others fall into the abyss of the opening. Emily started to cry, as she was tired, missed her babies, and the last pack was scattered. Nolan held her close as I was petting my hair.

This empire. The underworld. I ran my thumb over the Abraha insignia. A golden emblazoned crow in mid-flight and twisted the ring so it lay against my palm. I hated the sight of it. The weight. The feel of it was even worse. Suddenly, a thought crossed my head at the resemblance of the black seal and my ring. A symbol that I failed to recognize but hazily suspected. The eerie eyes of an owl. Of course, she chose that over anything else. Sabrina, you cunning piece of shit.

“You must not bring the Luna!! You will not make it to the temple.” “Holy fucking shit!” Rome says. We all look out the window and see black plumes of smoke billowing from the trees beyond. Bodies clash at each other as blood flies and the deafening screams break through even the confines of the closed-up vehicle we are in. “Too late, we are here,” I tell Edgar. My eyes lock on a young werewolf sobbing as he clings to a woman. Laney’s hand is over her mouth in shock.

There was a pause on the other end of the phone. “That is a generous offer, Alexa, but I need both of you to complete this project,” the voice said. “What is the end game? To kill us both?” Alexa asked bitterly. “Of course not, silly girl. We want our girls back, so we can build you into the killing machines you were always meant to be,” the voice said.

Tears brim his eyes and the last question comes out in a shaky breath. My tears stream down my face for the millionth time today. The round diamond sparkles spectacularly like the stars in the night sky. It's absolutely stunning. All the pain and suffering have led us to this moment. This moment in time where we can finally accept that nothing will stand in our way and nothing will ever tear us apart. We are it for each other forever. "Yes," I whisper. The End

“Yet her soul hums differently.” “Different is dangerous,” says another Elder to his left — a man with cold eyes and a thin scar running down his cheek. “The last time the balance shifted, we lost half our kind.” “She is not danger,” another Elder argues — a man with sharp cheekbones and a voice that cuts like glass. “She is proof that the Goddess still watches. Her existence is a sign of renewal.” “Renewal?” scoffs a third. “You call it renewal when the natural order breaks? There were no females born after the First Eclipse. The Mother Tree sealed that path for a reason.”

"That's a nice change. What happened?" "I saw Mia last night." I said it easily, without thinking twice, the way you tell a good friend good news because it doesn't occur to you not to. "We talked. Actually talked, for once, no yelling, no accusations. It was good, Claire. It felt real, for the first time in months."
