Unbreakable Bubbles Novels & Stories

It was fragile, like the first breath after being underwater too long. And maybe, just maybe, it was the start of something neither of us knew how to name.

I took it and placed it on my lap, feeling somewhat reassured by having something to hold onto—even if it was poison. "I don't know what happened to the rest of my mission," I said, staring into the glass. There were still small bubbles from whatever he had put in it. Perhaps he hadn't bought into the lost-mission-girl story as wholeheartedly as I had hoped. I would have to sell the lie better this time.

“Promise you’ll apologize to her in the morning. And make things right. Our pack can’t handle unnecessary infighting right now, especially not with Victor still out there.” Melissa nodded, her face softening, and clinked her glass with mine. “I promise. And for now…” She lifted her glass, just a little. “To Nora Nightshade. To Dark Moon’s newest member.” “To Nora,” I said, and took a sip.

That’s all. I should say, ‘Don’t.’ I’d said it so many times before. It had worked. I knew the word. It was just a sound. Don’t. But it got stuck, caught in my dry throat. And then, it wasn't a choice anymore. The line just broke. It shattered into a million tiny pieces around us, and I didn't even try to pick them up.

ALESSANDRO A spatula landed at my feet. Then a cutter. Then a lamp. I moved just in time to avoid a pen holder flying past my head. “What the fuck?” “DON’T WHAT THE FUCK ME!” The next thing she threw was a cup. It shattered against the wall. The ceramic collection Theresa cleans every day, despite no one using it, is now broken into shards on my living room floor. Theresa was going to have a heart attack. “We had a deal!” Luna screamed from the kitchen. “You got your answers, and now you’re sending me back to my father!”

A vow that any werewolf, Alpha or Omega, wolfless or powerful, can conjure but with the expense of the life of the caster—and the life of the receiver hanging on a thread. But Alain was right—Unbreakable Oath is an unreliable magic. An unpredictable magic. Its nature is so strange and unpredictable that Alain doesn’t understand why the Moon Goddess gifted it to them only for them to suffer with it. But maybe, just like what Alain’s mother used to say, “Just think about the future. Think about what is to come. Stop pouting about the past that has already happened. No one can change what can never be changed.”

Bye! (H-hoy! Fuck this shit. I created him, right? Then why the fuck he isn't listening to me!?) Raising a tantrum all by himself in the middle of the underwater ocean if someone could ever see him in this state they will call him weird. The argument aside the bubble still has 15 hours left for it to be depleted. The bubble is still large for Mike to freely roam around a little. He still cannot control his skin dropping off turning into liquid substance tho.

Unbreakable. Silence. Then— “…why?” it asks. My grip tightens. My voice steadies. “Because he gets to live.” The core pulses violently. Cracks forming. Breaking. “And you don’t?” it whispers. I close my eyes. For just a second. And in that second— I see him. Leon. Alive. Free. Safe. “…that’s enough,” I say softly. The core shatters. Light explodes outward— consuming everything— the darkness—

What was awe-inspiring was that she was doing it so very naturally! He shook his thoughts away before he hesitantly went ahead of them and jumped into the pipe. The pipe end was narrow and only one person could stand at a time. Soon Esmer and Rurik were out of sight but the wobbly bubble kept them connected. Though it was keeping them looped, Laylin observed the thinning connection as if it was getting cut off the more Esmer got far. Like a bubble that was splitting in a wobbly way. She could guess that as Esmer was fueling it with her aura, once the connection is cut off, the bubble will burst.

Unstoppable slamming the car into the bubble, it bends and crunches. “Help him,” I say, feeling all my energy disappears as I maintain the bubble. My arms feel like they weigh a ton, and my legs are shaking. “Go. I can't keep this up!” Ms. Justice throws her shield and knocks Unstoppable back. Unstoppable recovers fast and is prepared to fight but Justice and JumpStart hold him back. Meanwhile, I let the bubble dispense. The second it’s gone, SpeedBlade runs to pick up the captain.
