《The Royal Mates》Chapter Twenty

~Amorelli~
I watched him lay there-
Dying.
I ran over to him and shook him.
"Mordikai? Mordikai! Someone help me!" My heart was breaking, his skin was getting colder and colder.
"Please! Can anyone help him!" I was sobbing by this point. My heart was crumbling.
The death of my mate. This is what that feels like. I do not like it.
"Wait. He can be saved." I turned around and saw an older woman with a cane walk towards me.
"You can save my mate?" I asked through my tears. She put her hand on my shoulder and nodded once. She then walked towards him.
"I know who you are Amorelli, he needs to be cleansed with water for the incantation I am about to use. It will take quite a bit of my energy, but I can heal him. Quickly, wash the dirt and grime off his body." I nodded and took a few steps back, as did everyone else, desperate to see their future king live again. It was slow at first, afraid I would hurt him, clearly forgetting he is already dead. I washed the water over him gently, only some of the dirt and blood washing from him. I then sprayed him harder with the water, pleased with all of the blood and dirt gone from his body.
"Good, now I need Carlisle to dry him and start to heat up his body." Carlisle came over, glared at me and proceeded to dry his son off with the wind, then heating him up with fire around him.
"Alright, I will now say my incantation." We all waited in silence. The fire around Mordikai never ceased, and neither did my worry, fear, and sorrow. It was nightfall by this point, and the moon was coming out. It also looked like it was going to rain, so we had to do this now.

"Ancient moons, lend your power. Bring me peace this very hour. I call upon your strength and might, bless your child this secret night." I held her hand to his wound the entire time. After she said the spell she removed her hand and the bullet that was once in his chest, was now in her hand. She walked towards someone who had a plastic bag and she dropped it in, so I'm assuming it would be inspected on who made it and what was on it besides silver.
I ran over to him and felt his body, he was warm, but he still wasn't breathing.
I started to panic.
"Miss-"
"Angelica WhisperWood. Call me Angie."
"Angie, he still isn't breathing. I'm getting scared." I started to cry once again.
"Hush my child, he will awake any moment now." She tried to calm me but it did not help much. I felt a drop on my hand. It was raining.
The storm that came was unforgiving. The rain was pouring down and there were thunder and lightning. In the sky, there was a hole. Just enough room to see the full moon in its pure and utter beauty. The moon shone bright, directly onto Mordikai. The rain hit his body hard as if it was trying to awaken him. Then a bright light came from the trees. No one could look because it was so bright.
However, when I looked... I saw the most amazing thing.
I saw Comrade in his spiritual form. He came running towards me and Mordikai's body. He then came up to me and nuzzled my cheek.
"What is that bright light!" I heard Carlisle complain.
"It is Comrade. Mordikai's wolf in his spiritual form. He has recognized his mate and wanted to see her again before he returned to Mordikai's body." Angie stated calmly. I like her a lot.

"Mordikai will be mated to Alana! Not some damned fish!" I heard Comrade growl in an unruly manner. I could tell he did not enjoy what his father just said about me. He then curled around me for a moment, protecting me from him. I put my hand on Comrade, and it was incredible. Even if nothing was there, it felt like he was... The body heat, the softness of the fur, everything.
The love.
The happiness.
I felt complete once again, and the pain was gone.
"Quickly Comrade. Go home." I whispered quietly to him and he nodded, walking back towards his body and entering before disappearing altogether. I felt Mordikai's heart and heard one beat.
"His heart is only beating once?" I questioned. There would be one beat, not two.
"In order for there to be two beats, Mordikai has to return to his body as well. He should be here soon." Angie stated calmly.
"Okay.." I stated sadly. I wanted him back now. I then felt someone's hand touch my back. Soothingly rubbing my back up and down.
That isn't what stuck out.
What stuck out were the tingles. I had never turned around so fast in my life.
I turned around and saw my beautiful mates spirit. I started crying.
"Mordikai?" He nodded and kissed my forehead, entering his body. I put my hand on his heart.
"Two beats," I stated calmly. My worry was still there, but the pain was not.
"My work here is done. I shall now retire for a while." Angie starts walking away.
"Thank you, Angie." She looked back at me and smiled softly, showing her exhaustion.
"Yes, thank you, Angelica." Mordikai's mother came over after thanking her. She sat next to her son's body.
"Mordiaki? Baby?" She shook her son softly for a few minutes.
"Mordikai?" I said softly. He grunted at my voice.
"I'm gonna kill that son of a bitch." He grunted and I chuckled softly and wrapped my arms around his neck, kissing his cheek several times. He wrapped his arms around me and held me close.
"Amorelli..." I leaned up a bit so I could see his face.
"Yes, Mordikai?" His eyes were pitch black. All of a sudden his grip on me tightened.
"Forgive me, Moya Lyubov'."(My love.) I looked at him perplexed and concerned. I didn't scream until I saw his fangs. I was then flipped onto my back and he plunged his teeth into the spot he told me he'd mark me one day. The pain I felt, was almost just as bad as the pain I felt when Mordikai died. He held me down, continuing to keep his teeth in my neck.
Marking me by force.
The last thing I heard was Carlisle scream something.

Appless
Hi. I'm Eric Mohammed, an appless high-school drop-out. You're probably expecting me to write an elaborate description with a compelling hook here. You would be wrong because I don't give a fuck. You see, this is the story of me getting absolutely shafted in a multitude of ways by a multitude of interesting parties. I don't need to sell it. Have fun reading, or don't. — Eric P.S: Just in case one of you fuckers hacks my phone and gets this published somewhere on the internet and someone leaves a bad review, I'm gonna wreck their shit and yours. Just sayin'. I'll have you know my story is amazing, got that? The damaged file attached above was retrieved by unit \0x2D4FFFFFu on 42/89/0504T00:00:45.0410Z AE, during a salvage operation.

8 131Pawns of God
Five Lines PitchJoin Mark in his fight against a God and change the game's destiny! Delve into a slow-paced story focused on the progression of the main party and the development of the world. Mark himself will be narrating his life inside the game, and to a much lesser extend outside. Guild building, economy, and strategy are the central pieces of the novel. Mark is not overpowered, he will have to build his own power through action-packed battles, trials, traumas, love, and death. Accompany him, the healer and the strategist, an agent of chaos, in the adventure of his life. Without further preamble, I will let Mark take the mic. SynopsisHi! My name is Mark. This is my story, my life as I live it day after day. I’m in my thirties, and there’s nothing I love more than playing online games. I’ve just joined the action on the newest VRMMO game, Pawns of God. An immersive experience you can play while sleeping. Of course, as a game that takes pride in its long development and technological advances, everything inside seems and feels real. Beware, this is not a game-turns-real story. I love my own world and I would detest being summoned into another one. If that ever happens, I’ll just quickly take my life and be done with it. I play with my friends, in a party of 5. We have taken several roles, but lately, I've come to love being a healer. It's my secret ambition to someday be the shotcaller. I am not overpowered. If there is any bug or exploit in the game, they are yet to be discovered. Anyhow, for a game of this scale, the company is pouring all of its resources into test servers, QA, and beta tests. I don’t expect to find any, so I’ll be playing the game just like any other person. I must say, though, I am easily distracted, as you will immediately notice once you start. I'm working on it, I promise to improve! I am no hero. Being in my 30s, my heart is too old for this shit. I wouldn’t mind being one, of course. Who hasn’t dreamt of it? Either way, I’m not doing any grand quest to save the world. Whatever the game throws to their users, I’ll be there to experience it. Most of my life, at least the interesting parts that I’ll be narrating, happen inside the game itself. Rarely, there will be some IRL (In Real Life) chapters. You’ll understand, however, that as a freelance software developer, there is not much I can entertain you with when outside the game. Did I say I love games? Well, I’m also a fan of LitRPG literature. You know, journeys of magic, relationships, personal development, items, skills, discovery… In the spirit of not overwhelming my public, I’ll condense each chapter into circa 1500 words. You might have noticed some tags over this story, let me elaborate. I like to swear. I’m not shy when it comes to cursing my enemies, friends, or even myself. When there’s blood, I tell it as I see it. And… it hurts to admit it, but I’m not a casanova. Of course, this doesn’t mean that I won’t ever find love. So, in case I do end up finding it, let’s keep my sexual options open. As for traumas, none yet, but the future is vast and unknown. Release Schedule The schedule is subject to change, particularly if enough readers end up loving it. All chapters are already written, thus there is enough freedom to modify them.

Literary in tone, it is punctuated with action, adventure, and spectacle. Updates twice weekly.

8 163Dispatches from the Inter-galactic
Dispatches From The Inter-Galactic is a series of loosely related satirical stories which take place in a galaxy full of various interstellar civilizations and numerous space faring species generally described as consentients. This series is set in a galaxy which take place in a similar but not entirely unlike the galaxy in which my series Up in Space takes place While there are numerous themes related to interstellar life, several of the stories directly relate to specific themes such as; The pan-galactic ramifications to the use of supersymetrical energy sources (often drained from intera-located alternate and pocket realities.) the use of which by most interstellar civilizations is steadily increasing the overall amount of Dark Matter. This is increasing the mass of the galaxy and results in the occasional rips in inter-dimensional space as well as an overall increase in supernova activity. It is also speeding up the approach of the galaxy in Andromeda, which is of concern to several long lived civilizations; The Morphoids, a race of shape-changing consentients who are capable of using the space lanes created by the use of supersymetrical sourced energy to spread throughout the galaxy. They are currently viewed as threat number one by many space-faring species; and Xeno and exo-sexuality, as many species try to figure out what sort of enjoyment they can have with many of the species they encounter in space (only some of which are carbon-based, or more rarely, humanoid in appearance). This also relates to the altering of species to make reproduction somewhat easier for those with rather complicated lifestyles. A major force in this area of pursuit is the galactic visiteering industry, which promotes the ‘uplifting’ of more primitive planet-bound near-consentients.
