Under The Oak Tree Season 1 Novels & Stories

How many times had they put themselves in danger while I was too focused on war plans and elder meetings to notice? I stayed far enough back that they wouldn't hear me. Close enough to intervene if something went wrong. The trees grew thicker. The light grew dimmer. Shadows stretched long and dark across the forest floor. Still, the children kept running. 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.

Not after everything we had been through. The darkness outside hit me like a punch to the gut. It meant we had been tortured for most of the day. The moon was small, barely casting any light. It was the end of another lunar month, and that didn’t make things easier. Normally, Xavier and I could move through the night like it was nothing—our night vision sharp, our bodies built for it. But tonight, we were barely keeping our eyes open. We stumbled and partially dragged each other toward the backyard. And there it was. The oak tree. The very one that had brought us here. We collapsed against its thick, ancient trunk, both of us breathing heavily.

"I am Oak-Sister-to-Dawn. You have traveled far to learn what we have known since seeds first split open. Cooperation is not something we do. It is something we grow into." The first lesson came in the form of silence. Oak-Sister led Selene to a grove at the settlement's heart, where the oldest trees formed a natural circle. She gestured for Selene to sit at the base of an enormous oak, then left without another word. Selene sat. And waited. And tried not to feel foolish for sitting alone in the woods expecting wisdom to manifest. Hours passed. The light changed. Her legs cramped. She shifted position, trying to find comfort against the tree's roots.

We sat beneath an enormous oak near the edge of the training field. Orion stared up at it. “What?” “Trees in your world are strange.” I looked at the oak. “That’s a normal tree.” “Exactly.” “What do your trees look like?” “Some move.” “Move how?” “Walk.” I blinked. “Your trees walk?” “Some.” “Why?” “Why don’t yours?” I opened my mouth. Closed it. “Okay. Fair.” He smiled. It was the first time I’d seen him smile without my father immediately interrupting.

But this gathering felt different—clandestine and heralding trouble. Visions of the unknown enveloped Caden’s mind, racing with questions. Why would a group of unfamiliar wolves convene there? What could possibly bind them together in secret intrigue? His instincts, sharp as ever, urged him forward. "Lead me to the old oak tree," he instructed resolutely. The scout nodded, taking the lead as they wound through the underbrush, every rustle of leaves and snap of twigs amplifying the growing tension. As they drew closer, the imposing silhouette of the ancient oak tree emerged, its gnarled trunk and extensive branches casting shadows that danced ominously on the ground. A rush of adrenaline surg

"He was stubborn. He was loud. He took up space. He did not die easily. He was not supposed to die at all." Damon stood up. "Come on." "Where are we going." "To the nursery. We are buying an oak tree." --- The nursery was crowded. Even on a Tuesday. Even in the fall. People buying mums and pumpkins and bags of soil. Damon walked to the back. Found the trees. "Oak," he said to the man behind the counter. "What kind." "The kind that lasts." The man looked at him. Looked at me. Did not ask questions.

She knew the secret entrance, hidden away under a specific, ancient oak tree. "Give me the coordinates and I'll take you there personally," Vlad said with a mischievous smirk while Cassie forced a smile. Today she was going to kill this devil. ******* A few hours later Cassie led them away from the Castle grounds into a place farthest from town with Vlad driving them here. "It's here." She said and Vlad smiled opening the front door. "Well aren't you a sight for sore eyes." Vlad chuckled staring at the ancient oak tree. Matteo followed reluctantly, his anxiety spiking.
