《The Alpha's Beta (BOOK 1)》Chapter 8
Advertisement
I hold my head down; he didn't just say those words. That pathetic excuse of an Alpha really doesn't need to come here again, he's not even of royal blood! So why they have a pack name like that I really don't know. How dare my dad, allow him onto these lands, what was he thinking.
I look back at Thomas for the next important question.
"When is he coming?"
"Kara, I'm really sorry, but he'll be here in 2 days"
2 days?! I can't come up with an excuse quick enough to not be around for then. And now knowing that he's coming, my parents probably won't let me leave now anyway. I need to speak to my dad, I can't be here to see him again.
I immediately stand up with such force my chair just goes falling backwards, I go to leave, when my hand is grabbed hold off
"Wait, your not thinking straight, don't do anything stupid"
I look down at my restrained hand, then back up to his face, with my face burning with rage. He knows I could easily get loose and do some serious damage to him in the process, but being my friend, I wouldn't do it. He understands and let's go, apologising and looking deflated.
I march, back to my house, leaving my friend in the cafeteria. I need to know what's happening.
I open the front door and head straight up to his office and pound on my dads office door.
"Alright! This better be good at this time of night Kara"
I open the door, and walk through. I take long and slow breath, we both had a bit of a melt down earlier, and the fact I need to find some answers, means I have to really keep my calm. I look over to him, to see him typing away on his laptop

"Dad? Thomas told me"
He sighs, squeezing the bridge of his nose. Then decided to finally look up at me
"Yes, the newly appointed Alpha Cain, will be coming for a visit"
I start to panic, my words begin to stutter, why does he need to come. Didn't he cause enough damage last time he visited a year and a half a go.
"Bu, But why"
"Honestly, I don't know, he won't reveal that information, but he says it's critical to both his and our packs security."
Now I'm really getting concerned, I throw my arms up in the air, going red in the face.
"Then why don't you go to his pack instead, I'm sure Uncle Ryan or Delta AJ can cover things for a few days here while you deal with that"
"That's enough!"
He cuts me off, he's completely unreasonable when he's in a bad mood. He looks back at me before telling me more information.
"The decision has been made, I don't want him here as much as you and the rest of the pack. But if he thinks there is a problem with the security of the pack, that I can't see, then I must hear him out."
He's clearly made his mind up and not interested in what I have to stay, there's no point staying round here anymore.
I turn to walk away, but a deep growl for my dad briefly stops me in my track
"Don't you dare walk away from me young lady!"
I carry on, I need to get out of here before I get too carried away with myself, again slamming the door, unfortunately its still standing. Dammit what is he using to hold it up?!
I go back the way I came, straight out the front door. Now I need to go for a run, but this time my wolf wants out!

Deeper Darker
Set in the far future when humanity has reached the stars and finds it is not the first to do so. Alien technology has been left behind by a long dead race. Ancient cities, abandoned starships, temples and fortified bunkers all contain artefacts and devices far in advance of what humans have been able to produce. Technology that feels more akin to magic, so powerful it can allow a single person to dominate a star system. But these relics of another time have been left well-defended and behind bewildering and impenetrable security measures.There are those who are compatible with the alien technology, who can augment themselves to face the evermore extreme protocols in the depths of the alien ruins, and by doing so attain greater power. And there are those who just want to sell what they find to the highest bidder.The rewards are high, but you have to be prepared to go further and risk more to discover the greatest secrets of a civilisation that vanished long before the first human walked upright. Secrets that could irrevocably change humanity’s future, or end it.
8 456The Court of Souls?
What do we talk about tonight?~“How about a story?”~Fine by me. Which story? Hopefully a good one.~“There was once a lonely child in a world filled with myths, gods and demons. Only power counted there and the weak were worse than cattle. A world where survival of the fittest ruled.”~Was it strong then?~“No, but the child had a power. One that made him stand between light and darkness. Nothing could escape him, so he was shunned by his people.”~ What did he do? Did he fight his fate? Did he hide his power? What was it?~“Oh, he fought. He fought a lot. And no thing could escape his power. It was something that everyone had to live with.”~So he became a hero and changed the world?~»…”~Tell me.~“Nooo, that’s not how the story goes. This isn’t a story of a noble man, doing good amidst a sea of monsters. This is a story of a demon who was… kinder than the rest.”~A kind demon? How boring.~“I think it would be better if I tell the story, so you can judge for yourself.”~So tell the story!
8 535Shadowcroft Academy for Dungeons: Year One
Build a Dungeon. Slay Heroes. Survive Finals. Wounded Army vet Logan Murray thought mimics were the stuff of board games and dungeon manuals… right up until one ate him. In a flash of snapping teeth, Logan suddenly finds himself on the doorstep to another world. He’s been unwittingly recruited into the Shadowcroft Academy for Dungeons—the most prestigious interdimensional school dedicated to training the monstrous guardians who protect the Tree of Souls from so-called heroes. Heroes who would destroy the universe if it meant a shot at advancement. Unfortunately, as a bottom-tier cultivator with a laughably weak core, Logan’s dungeon options aren’t exactly stellar, and he finds himself reincarnated as a lowly fungaloid, a three-foot-tall mass of spongy mushroom with fewer skills than a typical sewer rat. If he’s going to survive the grueling challenges the academy has in store, he’ll need to ace the odd assortment of classes—Fiendish Fabrication, Dungeon Feng Shui, the Ethics of Murder 101—and learn how to turn his unusual guardian form into an asset instead of a liability. And that’s only if the gargoyle professor doesn’t demote him to a doomed wandering monster first…
8 139Ouroboros Ascendant
Ouroboros Ascendant is a story about friends you meet on the internet, and then spend entirely too much time together hunting monsters, doing quests, earning experience, and risking your life. Except for Jack, Erin, Rory, and Layla, the video game they play together every Saturday isn’t nearly as real or as threatening as the primal world of Ayrgard. A mysterious force has drawn them across the darkness between realms for its own purposes, and they’ll need to survive monsters, politics, and a lurking threat they can’t yet imagine. In the interest of disclosure and ease of access, Ouroboros Ascendant features gay, bisexual, and straight main and supporting characters, and features elements of romance between some of those characters. However, OA is not a story about romance. If you're hungry for more chapters, there's always Patreon.
