Under The Oak Tree Spoilers Novels & Stories

“I’ve been feeling too guilty. I have to say something. It’s the right thing to do. I…was following Pollux the day of the explosion.” My breath catches. I ask him, “What are you talking about?” “I overheard something,” he says, his voice dropping to a near whisper. “A conversation between Pollux and the Alpha. Alpha Alec. The one I now know helped you or something. Helped us.” Shock ripples through me. “What kind of conversation?” Cade swallows hard. “Alpha Alec admitted to planting another bomb. He told Pollux he wanted you to know he had nothing to do with the attack on the Underworld. He…he wanted you to know the truth.”

Colton looks like he wants to walk into a tree. I shake my head, unable to stop the small smile tugging at my lips. “You two are terrible at lying.” Oakley beams. “Thank you.” “That wasn’t a compliment,” I say. “It felt like one,” he replies. Colton exhales slowly. “Let’s just… move on. The orchard is this way.” Oakley nods quickly. “Yes. Orchard. Trees. Fruit. No mysterious healer prophecies there.” Colton mutters, “Hopefully.”

“He hasn’t released me.” “He will.” The certainty in her tone leaves no room for doubt. “What if he never does?” Her head tilts slightly. “He will.” Silence hums between us. “Where?...Where can i find you?” I ask. The clearing shifts. The trees blur and rearrange. The vision expands outward like a map unfurling. I see forest stretching westward denser, darker. A narrow trail barely visible beneath overgrowth. A river cutting through stone. Then a massive oak tree. Its trunk is split clean down the center, blackened along the jagged seam as if lightning once struck it from sky to root. The top half leans precariously but still lives, branches heavy with leaves.

“Glee . . . shit.” Another tremor jolted them, and the centuries-old cottonwood tree—the only thing left out there—twisted and leaned, losing its foothold on the remainder of the crumbling bank. Slipping away. Richard felt something at his elbow. This time it was Owen tugging at him, a clogged warning in his throat. Pulling him back from the decimated park area. Toward the waiting vehicle. “Daddeee . . . ” Katie fretted. Richard took heed and went.

[So as I was saying, those oak trees were capable of predicting the future. Nero gave his master a side glance to check if she had any plans to interrupt him again. It was only when he confirmed that Audrey was already behaving like a good child, did he went on telling his story again. By that time, only the sound of Nero' soft meowing, as well as the sound made by the turning of the pages of the book, could be heard in the library. "MEOW... MEOW... MEOW... MEOW.." [One day, one of the talking oak trees saw that one from my race, the antediluvian cats, will going to bring utter distraction to the world by releasing all the creatures of the dark from their restriction.]

Si Xiu walked towards her in doubt, "Do you think there could be some hidden path in these trees?" Tang Li nodded, "Possible. Or else, how would they disappear all of a sudden?" And true to her thoughts, her attention was caught on the large oak tree. The black sedan was parked exactly under it. So, maybe She quickly ran towards the edge of the road before glancing at the tree that was slightly curved outwards with an enormous hollow in it. "Damn.." Just as her leg slipped, she held one of the hanging galls of the oak tree before stabilizing on her feet.

"Kill the tree." "What?" "The Oak. It’s the anchor. Burn it. Kill it. I don't care." Aradaa’s head fell back, his breathing coming in short, panicked bursts. "Do it, Kaelor! Before he's born!" Kaelor looked at the ancient tree. Then he looked at the Queen’s reaching hand. He didn't use the sword. He shifted. The wolf didn't bite the hand. He bit the heart of the tree.

I flew over the frozen ground, a grey shadow under the rising moon. The lightning-struck oak was a giant tree, split down the middle, one half dead and black. I shifted back, shivering as I pulled on my clothes, my eyes scanning the dark tree line. Minutes ticked by. The moon was now clearly visible in the sky. She is not coming. She has been caught. It is over. Then, a whisper of movement. She melted out from behind the broad trunk of the oak, her face pale in the gloom. I nearly sagged with relief. “You are here.”

I doubled down by crying out, “Would he give you a happy pat on the back if you allow something to happen to his unborn pups due to too much heat?” “No please, go on please. But at least let me escort you to make sure you're safe.” He offered. I bent over and cried out again, adding some convulsive shakes to the drama. “Ah, please just go quickly!” He conceded. I smiled out of the corner of my mouth as I left him. Fool. It wasn't such a long walk before I saw the oak tree described by the note-sender. I couldn't see anyone there. I went closer till I got to the tree itself. I stood there, looking around.

I understood the fact that they had to stay very far away from the other wolves since they were dangerous and outcasts but staying this far away was outrageous. After slipping for at least five times, I finally got to the tree where he described. It was an oak tree, its leaves were shredded, giving it a very naked look. The surroundings smelt of smoke and waste, I wanted to flop down on the nearest branch and relax a little but I couldn't risk soiling my clothes, so I stood as I waited for him with the bag of money in my hands. A bird hooted from the top of the tree making me jump in fright.
