Wake Novels & Stories

Aiden Nothing wakes me up faster than a sudden mind link from my Beta. Anything could be happening: a rogue attack, an invasion... so many things to worry about. This one though makes my heart pound harder than when I go into battle. 'Zoey's awake! Come quickly! Something's wrong so please hurry!' Peter's voice is urgent and fast. I hurry out the door but not before alerting Daisy. She rushes after me and shoots me a look before I can even say anything.

I realized I hadn't responded to the cub, getting lost in my thoughts instead, "Every time I close my eyes I see how weak she looked and how she could barely move let alone speak." "You've seen worse, Ace. Look, you know she's fine now so get a drink and calm your thoughts. You could always make the drive to see me or do a job," shuffling sounded on Jericho's end of the line until I could hear the sound of a microwave and then a dog barking. I missed Slash — Jericho's German Shepherd; only a little bit. "Can't do a job, remember?" I grumbled, balling my hands in tight fists until my nails dug into my palm.

"Morning Vee, she greeted with her charming smile. When did you come back last night? I thought you slept out." "I came back around 1:00 am You were already asleep so I didn't bother to wake you." "Oh! okay, so how was it?" "Bad" "What?" "Yeah, it was bad I ended up in a fight with his mom." "That sucks" "Yup" "What is Alex saying on this?" "Nothing" "What do you mean by nothing?" "Well, I haven't heard from him since last night."

“ No, sorry, but you’ll have to do that on your own, “ she retorts. “ I’ll take your phone, “ I threaten. “ No, you can’t do that, “ she cries pulling her face out from under the cover. Somehow she doesn’t have bedhead and looks like she just came straight from the salon. “ That’s tough. I just did “ I say “ Ok, ok. I’m up, “ she says jumping out from under the covers. “ That’s what I thought, “ I say giving her phone back. She cradles it like she missed it for that long. “ Oh, god, “ I say shaking my head. We head down to the main room where all of the tired adolescents were grouped up. “ Kat, why’d you wake us up so early? “ JJ says rubbing his eyes. “ Y-You

What was it called again? Helen woke up to the sound of the phone ringing next to her ear. Some thoughtless person had left it on the side table next to the couch rather than putting it back on the cradle. Helen fumbled around for it but knocked it onto the floor. It was Saturday and it felt too early for anyone to be calling them. Helen saw Mark’s slender brown fingers effortlessly pick up the phone through her eyelashes. So, he hadn’t gone home. “Hello,” he answered calmly.

A wolf growled, unable to see me, donning his fighting stance. "Seven, it's me! Kalyssa!" I held up my hands and yelled, "Visibilis!" Seven whined, hanging his head as he took a step closer. I rubbed his head. "It's okay. Let's go find Balista." He raised his head and bolted inside the warehouse. I grabbed the weapon and ran inside, and Seven was waiting for me by the door. "I'll go in first. Like it or not, we're going to do what we have to do to take them down."

Westbrook executives, our team, final details before the Monday market launch. I got there early and found Eli already in the conference room, setting up presentation materials. We looked at each other across the empty room. "Hi," he said. "Hi," I said. "You look terrible," he continued. "Like you haven't slept." "I haven't," I said. "Not much. I've been... processing." "Processing what?" Eli asked. "The reality that I'm about to commit to something I can't control," I said. "That admitting I need you doesn't mean I suddenly have all the answers about how to actually handle needing someone."

The phone rang for a good few seconds before I got an answer. “Hello?” “It’s me.” When I heard how groggy he sounded, I felt a little bad for waking him up. “Kakeru?” He grunted, probably with the effort it took him to move or turn. “What time… It’s 02: 54… What? What happened?” “Nothing.” Ah. Now I felt really stupid. Childish. Needy. “Sorry I woke you.” He let out a big breath. “Can’t sleep?”

Punch after punch and kick after kick, Ace wasn't moving anymore and it took him a moment to realize that. The man was panting hard as he shook him to see if he was unconscious. "That was fast", he snickered devilishly. "Ah, that piece of shit. Can't even take a little beating like a man", he clicked his tongue in irritation. He unties him and let him drop to the floor. He tsked and left the blood-filled office. After about thirty minutes, Ace wakes up, he's in pain, extreme pain. He gets out f the house, barely on his knees and heads to the only house that he knows that will welcome him.

“It’s four in the morning.” “Could you at least send a message to him and perhaps ask if he would be willing to see me? I can come back later?” I say. I’m not sure why the Guard is using the hour as an excuse. We all know the true, pure blood Immortals don’t sleep. Thought will be awake, wherever he is. And by the guard’s reactions, he’s inside that estate. “I’m sorry I can’t help you- “
