《The Alpha's Beta (BOOK 1)》Chapter 4
Advertisement
I open the door as slowly as I possibly can, to the fact it starts squeaking. I go in and shut the door behind me. I keep my head down; over the years I've learnt that the best way to deal with my angry dad, is to keep my head and eyes down.
I start walking slowly over to my dad. I can hear him getting up from his chair and putting his hands on the desk.
I lift my head ever so slightly so I can look at his face, upon seeing his black eyes I immediately put my head back down. My dads not completely horrible to me, but he does have a foul temper, and gets angry much to quickly, and he wont stop until the other person knows they were in the wrong.
I stand behind the two chairs just in front of his desk, which are currently being occupied by beta Ryan and delta AJ.
I speak, but it's so quietly you'd think a mouse had said it.
"Hi Daddy, I just wondered if you wanted a cup of tea?"
The two in the chairs just burst out laughing at me; I lift my head and give them both death glares. Don't they realise I'm trying to be nice so dad doesn't get anymore angry with me, and tea is his number one weakness.
"Kara"
I lift my head, and give him the cutest smile I can make, and flutter my eyelashes.
"Oh please, not the eyelashes again"
I look over to my uncle and again repeat the evil stare. My uncle needs to mind his own business, he's lucky I saved him and AJ from being shouted at.
My dad lifts his hand up, an action for all of us to stop and pay attention, before he speaks.

"That's enough from all of you. Now, Kara, why are you spying on what I have been discussing about pack business? You know that packs business doesn't concern you."
I instantly roll my eyes. And there he goes again, about women having no place higher up in the pack, and how men are the superior species. I'm surprised that women in this pack are even allowed to train and fight. It just appears that I'm not allowed to.
"I just wanted to know what was going on; you never tell me anything about the pack. It's my home and I would want to know what was happening within it"
Delta AJ lifts his eyebrows up, clearly impressed with what I have said,
"Wow, spoken like a true Alpha's daughter"
Yeah, I was a little surprised too, I said it with my head held high, and meant every word I said. At the end of the day, if I was their only child, I would get to take over as there would be no one else.
"Enough!"
Oh dear, dads getting angry again, what have I done now.
"My daughter, will never be in charge of this pack, so get that idea out of your head"
I'm absolutely gobsmacked; I decide to put the earlier idea from my head into words to see what reaction I would get. With a slight raise in my voice, I put my point across.
"And whys that? If Tim wasn't born, I would be next in line for the Alpha's place"
He looks shocked that I dared to answer him back; AJ and Ryan just look at each other.
"I would give the title over to my brother, our Beta. I would not give the title and the pack over to my little girl!"

Oh, I see where this is going, he doesn't think id be able to manage it. Right now I'm seething with rage. My voice again, going louder, with a growl added to it
"So you don't think I'd be able to run this pack, because I'm a girl!"
"Well Tyler, I can see where she gets her temper from"
Seriously doesn't Uncle Ryan know when to mind his own business, that's 3 times this morning he's been a pain in the backside.
I look back at my dad, he's panting while holding back growls, his eyes go black and he's physically shaking trying to hold his wolf form back, his claws come out, crushing the side of his desk.
I carry on looking at him, head held high, I will make my point that I won't back down on this issue. My dad lifts his head and practically shouts so the whole pack can hear him.
"The reason why you wont be Alpha is because of what happened the last time another Alpha stepped foot into my territory!"

the Mediator
Award-winning rock musician Kris Maya had just held a ground-breaking concert, with an arena packed with his most die-hard fans. His songs that contemplated the human condition: desires, love, pain, loss, fantasy and reality, and his philosophy towards life have garnered a great number of people to follow his every move and as he strummed the last chord that signaled the end of his song, he stumbled in pain and collapsed. With a smile, he closed his eyes on the curtains of his final concert in this life. As the applause of his show turned to become murmurs of worry and disbelief, he was happy and excited. Still, he felt that he was ready and he was anticipating his return to the world where all his past mistakes left a grueling and bloody mark on its history. This world that he filled with his music had taught him many lessons. In Earth, the power of music served as his gateway to learning. When he returns to his former world, his overwhelming power of magic will teach others the same lessons; the bloodshed being the only difference. It was now time to pay it forward.

Dream Dungeon
Welcome to the dream dungeon. Ely suddenly finds himself in a mysterious dungeon accessed only through sleeping. Many people are drawn into this dream world, confused and mystified. Those in this dungeon must kill monsters to survive; maybe even each other. Join Ely as he struggles to survive a ruthless environment. What replaces his rest is untold trauma. What seems like an innocent game trope turns into a nightmare. This is a story of tragedy and the path to ultimate power. All in the hopes of an uncertain survival. _________ This fiction has NOT been abandoned. I made a haughty promise earlier to not worry because I'll continue this series, and with things lately, I've only proved myself a liar. Further promises dwindled, and I've lost trust. So many things have been going on recently that I've been booked. I will refrain from making any future guarantees or promises as my busy schedule will stay with me for a long long while. Time for me to actually spend on writing and revising won't appear until at the least November 19. I won't say expect that's when I'll restart, but you can expect expecting it to maybe happen. That's really shallow. But with everything going on, I've let my small reading base down. I apologize. I still stick by my statement though that I won't abandon this project. I plan to stick it to the end, no matter the delay. Most importantly, thank you everyone; readers who both like and dislike my work. I appreciate your time spent on my dumb imagination. Stay toasty my readers in this winter season. Cheers. UPDATE: We're back on track. Thank you for your patience. Any future readers, heyo! Glad you're here. UPDATE 2: So far it's been 21 days since I last uploaded a chapter. The best thing done for any fiction, no matter how good it is, is that it continues, and I have a bad history with that. 1 fiction on hiatus and already more delays with less than 20 chapters in this fiction. I've been very preoccupied with adding more things to do in my life rather than actually committing to any particular thing. That applies primarily to this. I cannot abandon this, as busy as my future looks and will look as I get busier and busier. Someday, I hope, I will be able to sit down and just write. just. write. But for now, I ask for patience. I suppose I'm glad this fiction hasn't picked up so that I don't disappoint too many people if any really. But I need to commit and it's going to happen sometime and sometime soon. No more flowery words. I'll see you later. UPDATE 3: It's very evident I won't be able to pick up this story for a while. With AP Testing, competitions, and other things I am busier than ever. But I must complete this fiction. I have too. Until next time. UPDATE 4: It is now the summer. I owe everyone an apology. Chances are, nobody's around to see this, and that is okay. I only blame myself for this sort of brokenness of a fiction, not that it is actually that bad but I am just exaggerating it for dramatic effect.But what's not exaggerated is the severity of my broken promise. I apologize for my naive claims about finishing a novel that I couldn't finish and that I didn't have the discipline to finish. Nor the skills, really, I was and am still an immature writer.What is to place now? I want to make it clear I understand this is my fault. I will man up to this. And I will accept any criticism. I understand I messed up. Reading Stephen King's On Writing made it clear to me that I need to do two things:Read lots.And write lots.I have done neither. If I don't have the time to read often, how do I expect to write? I need to become more experienced. I need to become a serious writer.So if I want to dream of continuing, I need to at least fulfill both requirements. I enjoy writing. I haven't written seriously outside of school in a while. I planned to write this summer and finish this. I made a lot of promises that I didn't keep.So there's that. I won't enact any self-pity, or be foolishly obsessed. What I did was wrong, and I must deal with it. I let down readers. And I apologize.I hope I can find forgiveness. This is a writer's sin.I won't promise I'll finish this. I intend to finish this, at some point, because writing is fun and I want to write. But how things are don't reflect that. Maybe I'll finish this at some point. Maybe I won't. I won't be naive to make that promise.I thank everyone who has read this if this is the end. If not, and hopefully not, I thank everyone who is to read future chapters. I thank everyone who allowed me to live in the miniscule little dream of mine as I passed my days. I thank everyone who cares enough to read this. Until next time, peace everyone. Thank you. You are all great readers and great people. I wish everyone the best in whatever reading/writing endeavors follow you henceforth.

God of Thieves
Matsumoto Kunio was just an average human living a boring life in Tokyo, Japan. That was the case until he died and was reincarnated to another world! Armed with a System and tasked with a mission to save the world, watch as Matou, the new name he was given, sets off on an epic adventure! …Or at least, that should have happened? “All right, hand me the thingamabob, you’re no longer the main character! Now, how does this thing work? Ah. “My name is Kayden, and witness my ascendance to the God of Thieves! None shall be safe from my hands, not even your beloved System! Muahahahaha!” This can’t be happening… Author’s note. Hi, this novel is a LitRPG novel. In case you are confused, both Kayden and Matou are main characters, but the ‘protagonist’ would be Kayden. The novel is pretty slow-paced (in my opinion), so do keep that in mind when reading. This is my first novel, so do leave reviews and comments on how to improve my writing. Be nice about it. Also, I recently added the profanity tag. There is some swearing but it's not excessive or anything. Adding it just in case. Taking a one week break! Basically until my exams are over.
