Who Has Power Novels & Stories

Matthew rubbed her upper arms to comfort her as she leaned against him. "Well. Levi, Faf, Quentz, and Tia are all going to rule their hemisphere. It's fully up to them now," Joseline gave the only answer that she had. Sharia shook her head. Clearly not fully happy with that answer. "Yeah, OK, but who is going to keep them in check? No offense, Levi, but everyone with power needs to be kept in control by someone else. Again, look at the humans. The way they run things is doing nothing but separating them. They're a hot mess being controlled by those who are only about money and power."

"I guess the wealthy CEO has finally shown his true colors..." In Hayden's mind, power and authority must still be necessary even after the world has fallen. And if money can't get him anywhere, the fear people have of him will get him where he wants.

He said confidently. “How do you know all this?” I asked in confusion. He looked at me with a hard gaze that had me stiffening a little. “People talk but only when nobody is around. So make sure you never bring this up because it could get you arrested.” He stated sternly. “Arrested.” I murmured lowly. “Yes they are powerful and the last thing we need to do is to make enemies of the people that control the world.” He said confidently. “Wait they control the world?” I asked in surprise. “Mr. Connery is the CEO of the most important company in the world. So yes, they are even more powerful than politicians in a sense.” He said.

"Protection? You serious?" Monroe’s voice was low. "You think I don’t know what happens to people who betray them?" Lena leaned against the table. "Here’s the thing, Richard. If we walk out of here without anything useful? You don’t need protection. You need a priest." Monroe swallowed. He knew she wasn’t bluffing. Finally, he spoke. "The meeting you saw? That was just one of many. The real power—the ones pulling the strings—they exist above governments. They don’t have official titles. No public records. No digital footprint."

I knew He was watching me from above, waiting for my decision. I closed my eyes and thought about Alexandra. The sight of her being near Elliot or any other being, outraged me. I cleaned the line on my side and increased its size. To me I was not becoming a demon. I was only increasing my boundary. *** The greatest power any being possesses is the power of choice. Once that is taken from a being, it becomes weak. It feels controlled and inferior to those around it. God gave humans this greatest power. But He didn't limit it to humans alone.

Amanda Raul took me through the house and into the backyard. I craned my neck to stare up at him. "Where are we going?" "Well, if your power happens to be of the flamey sort, we don't want you burning down the place." Jesse interrupted while ruffling my hair. "What kind of powers are there?" Jesse looked at Raul over my head. "Tyler is the better one for all the lectures." Raul huffed. "I'm perfectly able to give explanations." he gave Jesse a cool glare before shifting his attention to me. "As you know, the Prime has power over fire, that we know of. It's possible he can extend himself further but that depends on him."

Not just that the power had been mastered. But how. And by whom. And what she had done with it.

I know this not because I can see you but because I was afraid too and because anyone who is not afraid at this point is not paying attention. *Here is what I want you to know.* *The power is not separate from you. That is the thing they never understood — the ones who wanted to take it, to weaponize it, to use it for purposes it was never designed for. They thought of it as a resource. Something that could be extracted and redirected. They were wrong.*

Vanessa’s fingers tapped against her chin; her eyes showed that she’d been coerced, but her voice was persistent to know more. “Why do you think power doesn’t open doors alone?” She asked. “Are you trying to say there might be a shift?” My lips curled into a faint, knowing smile. Because I’d predicted that she’d ask that question, and I’d prepared the answer. I responded calmly. “I’ve spent years studying power—who holds it, who loses it, and why. And right now, there’s a shift coming. Quiet, but undeniable. The kind of shift that either makes empires… or erases them.”

Because I finally understood… Power isn’t inherited. It’s unleashed. And I was just getting started.
