Under The Oak Tree Amazon Novels & Stories

Finally, they stopped. A massive oak tree loomed ahead. Ancient and gnarled. Its roots twisted up from the ground like frozen snakes. Its branches spread wide, blocking out what little remained of the evening sky. Carl and Karin dropped to their knees beneath it.

MAXINE We made our way to the old oak tree near the lake. The moon was hanging low in the sky. It cast a pale glow on the water. I could see the massive oak tree in the distance, its branches twisting like fingers. This was where it was all going to end. We reached the base of the tree.

They groaned in unison, breaking apart and going back to their lessons. Liora followed behind Nikolai as he ventured into the forest, walking briskly along the footpath. After a while, they crossed another treeline and walked into a clearing. It was a picturesque glade covered in grassy meadows. At the very top of the short hill was a large oak tree, its large branches casting a shade where one could rest and enjoy the tranquility of the space. Under the tree, two gamma females sat across from a group of twelve cubs, holding up a book and making what looked like silly faces. Liora couldn’t help but think that Maia looked the complete opposite of her maternal nature.

The basket was getting heavy, filled with the apples we'd selected carefully, when Miles suddenly grabbed my hand. "Come here. I want to show you something." He led me off the main path, down a narrower trail between two rows of trees, and then we emerged into a small clearing I hadn't noticed before.

It was old, its leather cover cracked and worn, with no title on the spine. Curious, I pulled it from the shelf and opened it, the pages brittle beneath my fingertips. As I turned the pages, I realized this wasn’t just any book. It was a journal—filled with the scrawled notes and observations of someone long gone. The handwriting was messy, the ink faded, but the words were clear enough to make out. The hidden chamber lies beneath the roots of the ancient oak, where the first Alpha of Silverwood made his vow.

Their class had already started and everyone was listening to their teacher while Sam peered out the window he saw the tree house outside the classroom. "Claire ..., I hope what I heard isn't true." Sam thought. She was surprised to see the black shadow in the tree house. "What is the shadow doing here?" Sam whispered. The black shadow has long lived in the tree house. Sam didn’t know that the black shadow she saw in the tree house and the black shadow in their house were different. The black shadow in the tree house was so bad. While Sam was looking at the black shadow in the tree house, suddenly one of her classmates passed by her so she lost sight of the black shadow.

Aaron stared at the tree and slowly got up before he walked to the tree with trembling legs, he went closer to the tree and everyone saw the tree slowly die and wither.

I made my approach slowly towards the nearest tree in the open. My heart stopped for what seemed like forever. The wind rustled the thick grass. Drops of sweat are tracing my forehead. I was within striking distance of the tree now. Not too far away, I could also make out the other tower that needs protecting. I must get there without being caught or ensnared. I got in a hurry and started to creep up the tree. While making my way to the tree, I am slashed by the sharp edges of some tall grass. Then... I ducked for cover under a shady oak tree like a seasoned outdoorsman. It has a superb canopy and is a mature tree. Green and woodsy aromas fill the air.

The sound of soft weeping draws my attention to one of the few remaining trees on the lot, a large, aged oak that at this distance I can see a patch of pale skin contrasting with the tree's wood.

Colton looks like he wants to walk into a tree.
