Chapter One - Arin
“Argh! These fuckers.” Abby groaned as another missile hit the shield and shook our ship.
Atmo Lander was barely holding up. Engines were redlined, shield generators overheated and we were taking heavy fire. We need to get out of this mess fast. I was doing my best to dodge any and all ordinances fired on us, but my best was still not enough.
“Abby, got any luck so far?”
“No, I don’t have enough firepower to take them down. Ion cannons are inoperable cause I don’t have enough energy left from your fancy flying.”
“My fancy flying is keeping us safe.”
“I kno-- damn it, a frigate is coming our way and this bucket won’t be able to handle it.”
“Fuck. Power down all weapon systems except point defense.”
I flipped the comm switch. “Hellhounds, I am cranking up speed. Brace yourselves!”
“If you make me puke Arin, you will be cleaning my suit.”
“No guarantees, buddy.” Vinu groaned as I chuckled and flipped off comms.
For the next few minutes, I was just following my instincts honed by rigorous training. The engines were howling and the frame was rattling. We were still taking hits here and there but with a squadron of Rays behind us. This was good enough.
Soon, we cleared the atmosphere. I sighed in relief as the Rays dropped back. I eased back on thrust. I started a deep scan and flipped the comms.
“Yo, everyone okay?”
“Oi Arin, this idiot stinks like a rat in a pirate ship. Can we throw him out of the airlock?”
“Fuck you, Btor.”
I flipped off comms as they kept bickering.
“Abby, check the scan. I will take us to the mothership in the meantime.”

“On it.”
“Prika, any luck with hacking?”
“I pulled off a copy of a priority report and a mission briefing before they secured their systems. I will decrypt it once we are in the bridge of the mothership.”
“We have a Dreadnaught class ship, most probably a carrier with a support fleet. There is a massive energy spike on the planet. Verifying transponder - it’s Sky. Two gunboats are closing in on our location and dispatching drones. Microfractures in the hull of our lander, shield generator three is out, and the reactor is close to normal temperature. Overall we are fine for now. Get us out of here.”
“Thanks, Abby. Take care of those drones, will ya.”
“Sure”

“There she is.” I spotted the mothership hidden in the asteroid belt and flew to the hangar.
Soon we were standing in the bridge looking at the mission debriefing.

“The rest of the briefing is corrupted. That’s all I could pull out of the first data packet.”
“Thanks, Prika. This is enough now for the next data packet. It was a transmission or a report, right?”
“Yeah, it’s a--”
“But they know a lot about us. What do we--”
“Not now, Hannah. First we will take a look at the second report and take care of our gear and ships. We will discuss all of this at the cafeteria later. For now, let’s see the next data packet. Okay?”
Hannah nodded.
“Yeah, it’s a transmission from planetside to the space force. Is it a report, or something else? We’ll find out in a minute.” Prika changed the data on the holoscreen.

Tree of Yggdrasil
A Land of Myths and Legends. It has been far too long since the Age of Humanity has come and gone, the only evidence of those times being ruins and relics, left over from a past shrouded in mystery. In the center of the Human Continent, there exists a Tree, the origin of all the monsters and of humanity’s downfall. Yet, humans prevail, rising from the ashes every time. Countries rise and fall, struggling in an endless cycle of conquest and bloodshed. Yet still they pray to the source of their misfortune, the Tree of Yggdrasil, hoping to be granted one of its miracles. It has been centuries since the Tree has blessed a being. Only a select few in the past were able to receive its grace, bringing about a new form of power to the world and transcending humanity. These beings, having created brand new lands of their own, are known as paragons of their own species, yet they are all cursed in one way or another. Once again, humanity is rising, yet their growth brings about misfortune to all who surround them. Those forsaken even by their own races face death, persecution and loneliness. And yet, the Tree keeps its silence. Until now… *Credit for the cover goes to Darkhikarii at DeviantArt, if you want it taken down, please message me.

Zyon: The Alpha Of The North
Just as I think i'm going to make it out, i feel an arm wrap around my waist, lifting me into the air. My struggling does essentially nothing. I am incessantly weak, thanks to my non-compliant wolf. I feel myself being thrown onto the bed.I flip myself around to see him, standing at the foot of the bed, with his eyes darker than usual and a scowl set in. "I told you not to run, not once, not twice but thrice," he says. "You aren't going to like what I do now." As he leans down, I scramble towards the headboard, still on my back, my eyes never leaving his. "I told you I wasn't going to stay, why are you not able to understand..'' I'm cut short as I feel a hand wrapping around my ankles pulling me downwards harshly. I let out a scream as I kick my legs, trying to get out of his grasp. He wraps my legs around his stomach, grabs my wrists and pins them down, so he's essentially towering over me. I know what he plans to do. "Please Zyon, Please I don't want this." He looks at me and smirks, clearly enjoying watching me beg, "I don't care what you want. What matters is, what I want."------------------------------------------------Katherine is living a life of solace and acceptance with Daniel. With her wolf having become dormant, she has accepted the fact that she will live her life as a human. After all it was her own choices that got her here. Daniel, with whom she has fallen deeply in love is not her mate. She knows who her mate is, but has pushed him and all thoughts of him to the back of her head. She fell in love with Daniel before her mate realised who he was to her and she is adamant to keep it that way. Her mate, however, may not feel the same way.
