《My Werewolf Professor》Chapter 1
Advertisement
Another semester. Another group of students who weren't interested in learning.
It was like this every year, but I still taught because the stories of the gods were still very much needed in today's society. The students who actually cared about it, learned more about themselves than anyone I had met.
"Alpha Lee," Levi, one of my pack members said, from my university office door.
I glanced up from my desk, gathered the rest of the materials for the first day of the classics class I taught to first and second year students, and nodded to the door. Levi shuffled into the room and closed it behind him, bowing his head.
While many of the students at Arcane University in New Hampshire knew about the paranormal that haunted these woods, some, even professors, were still human. If any one of them found out about us, the Wolf Council would chew me out.
"What is it?" I asked.
Levi stuffed his hands into his ripped jeans. "I spotted wolves from the Goldtooth Pack at our borders."
My entire body stiffened. "Goldtooth Pack? Are you sure?"
"Yes. Beta Milo told me to relay the information to you."
I drew my tongue across my teeth, feeling the prick of my canines. "Don't engage. If the Goldtooth Pack is here, they're looking for something and will do anything to find it, including kill our pack members."
Levi nodded and stepped toward the cherry-oak door. "Will do," he said. And just as he was about to step out the door, I called his name. He paused in the hallway, tensing when a human professor walked opposite of him. "Yeah?"
"Go to class. I'll handle it," I ordered.
"But—"
"You're not missing another one of my classes. You're taking classics again, because you failed the first time."
"Can't you just pass me? We—"
"No."
After rubbing his hand across his face and grumbling under his breath, he walked down the hall toward the auditorium where class started in fifteen minutes. I hiked my bag over my shoulder, locked my office door behind me, and started toward the exit. I didn't have time to run back to my pack before class started, I had to get one of the patrols in the forest to do it.

Glancing down at my watch, I shoved the door open, the crisp fall air blowing through the scruff on my face. Someone stumbled back, a phone and some classic books tumbling to the ground.
She gasped and leaned down to grab them. "Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry!"
My breath caught in the back of my throat as her sweet scent drifted through the air.
Mate.
I crouched down and grabbed some of her books from the walkway, admiring the way strands of her dirty blonde hair blew into her face. "It's my fault," I said, wanting to hear her voice again and so desperately wanting her to look at me.
In a moment, she glanced up at me with piercing blue-violet eyes. Cheeks flushing a rosy red, she grabbed her books from my hand, our fingers grazing against each other's. My wolf growled inside of me, demanding that he feel her skin against his again.
Mate.
"No, I was, uh, trying to find my class and not paying attention." She stood up, readjusted her glasses, and brushed out her knee-length black skirt that had a slight split in it, and my wolf went wild. "Is this the Aenovan Building?"
"It is."
In attempts to control my wolf, I stuffed my hands into my pockets and clenched my fists.
She was a student who didn't know the campus, probably her first year. Touching her was forbidden, no matter how much I wanted her right here and right now. If the Wolf Council found out about it, they'd remove me and all the other teachers who were wolves from this place.
"Okay, thank you." She scooted by me and into the building. "I don't want to be late."
Forcing myself not to turn around to grab her by the waist and pull her closer, stuff my nose into the crook of her neck and breathe her in, I inhaled her scent until it disappeared completely. I hurried toward the forest, finding the first damn wolf I came across, and told him to relay the information back to my beta.

If our mindlinks worked for long distances, I would've done it myself.
But they didn't anymore, thanks to the Wolf Council.
After racing back to the building, I took a shortcut toward the auditorium knowing that the only classics class in this building today was mine, which meant one thing... my mate would be there, sitting in one of the many desks and staring up at me with those breathtaking eyes almost every day for the rest of the semester.
Stepping into class, I scanned the room for her yet couldn't pick up her scent from the hundred mixed smells from the students. I relaxed only slightly and walked down the auditorium steps to front, giving everyone a tight smile when they looked up at me and began quieting down.
I placed my bag on the front desk and looked around the room again. The door opened, her scent drifting into the room and her clumsy cute ass nearly tripping over the carpet as she walked into the room.
She tucked some dirty-blonde hair behind her ear, gnawed on her pretty pink bottom lip, and anxiously searched the small auditorium for a seat, brows furrowed together. I stiffened and stared at her, my heart thrashing against my chest.
Mate.
Canines lengthening, I pressed my lips together and let them cut into my gums, because not everyone who attended Arcane University was a werewolf, including her. I didn't want to scare her out of my class just yet. I didn't even know her name.
When she looked at me, I sucked in a breath and quickly looked away. She slowly walked down the wooden stairs of the auditorium to the second row, glanced down the aisle to see if she could find a seat. There was one, right in the center, right where I could see her, look at her, watch her without it seeming creepy.
Instead, she moved even closer to the front row and sat down toward my right. I inhaled her sweet beachy scent. She smelled so good, too good. I wanted to sink my teeth into her neck, right here and right now, not caring who it was in front of. I needed her to be mine.
So. Fucking. Badly.
After sitting, she placed her laptop and phone on her desk. She chewed on her bottom lip and tapped on the messages on her phone, staring down at messages from someone that she hadn't seemed to respond to yet. A moment passed, and she shook her head and shut the phone off, then looked back up at me.
Being taken off guard by those breath-fucking-taking eyes, I cleared my throat and looked down at my computer screen, shifting through the names on my attendance list to find hers. In a hundred student class, I would never take attendance but it couldn't hurt to try to spot her name.

"Hey," Levi said to her, sitting beside her and holding out a hand. "I'm Levi."
Hands balled into fists behind the desk, I pressed my lips together to suppress a growl. While I wanted to break them apart right then and there, I wanted so desperately to hear her voice, wanted her name, needed to have more of her.
"Bria," she said, cheeks flushing again.
She was blushing.
My mate was blushing because of someone other than me.
"Don't touch her," I scolded Levi through the mindlink.
Before she could shake his hand, Levi pulled away. She widened her eyes and gave him a small embarrassed smile, then turned back toward her computer. Levi glanced up at me, brows furrowed together, but I ignored him and cleared my throat, silencing the other students.
"Welcome to Classics: Ancient Mythologies. I'm Professor Lee. Let's get started."

Haven in a Dangerous World (Old)
Devin McMullen. Female. 18. Single dad. Dead mom. Good in fights and little else. No friends. Or, at least, that's what she's always been. Now, she's not sure exactly what she is. She's never been one for reading fiction, or anything for that matter, but this feels like something straight out of a fantasy. Her newly acquired instincts, however, scream dungeon core. Whatever that is. Unlike most dungeon cores, though, she's missing something very important. A dungeon. Stuck out in the open, above ground where she's definitely not supposed to be, with not a cave in sight, or any other land form besides miles and miles of ice and snow, Devin's not sure if she can survive. Update: Big caveate, though, just so you know. Started with this one idea and ran with it as far as I could. Characters and plot suffer from it, but I'm proud that I wrote as much as I did. I will rewrite this at some point and make it so it actually has plot. Check out my wordpress © [koallary] and [Haven in a Dangerous World], [2017].

8 147The Girl in the Abyss
Synopsis: The mysterious force known only as "God's Guidance" implemented a game-like system and rebuilt the planet using continents from five different worlds. Join Ellie, a young girl whose soul is filled with an ocean of love and trust. No matter how horrendous the circumstance or dreadful the suffering her kindness manages to shine through, but everyone breaks eventually. Watch as the horrors of reality slowly chip away at a pure soul until nothing but a monster remains and follow her down the path of despair as she finds a reason to live. ‘Our fate is one that always leads to suffering, but you can smile, I’ll shoulder everything else.’ Warning 1: This story covers very mature themes which I have listed here: Torture of a child (The MC is the victim), death, killing, slavery, and light gore. Nothing sexual ever occurs to the main character. Warning 2: This is another apocalyptic LitRPG, has a brokenly OP MC, bad writing, horrible grammar, and garbage sentence flow. It is my first attempt at writing a story since grade school. Inspired by my four favorite stories: Overlord, CLANNAD, The Arcane Emperor, and Tokyo Ghoul. A note by me: This is not a world domination story or an action story. There is fighting but it's not the focus. Another note by me: This is a work in progress. I’ll likely go back and change stuff a lot. The cover art is by a friend who has encouraged me since the start. Releases: Volume two will not be out anytime soon sadly. I apologize for the Hiatus.
8 195The Mad One
One day Humanity ruled the World. The next day they were gone. The system is put into play to help Humanity cope with their new, cruel reality. Some will walk their paths, continuously progressing. Others will end their paths, a dead-end. And a few, very few people will fall off their paths, finding nothing but cold water to drown themselves in. Updated on Modays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
8 423Midthalion Saga
+++Working on new chapters. Share what I've posted with your friends and family! Be sure to build strong bonds with those who are important to you. We only have each other in this world for so long!+++ Can Roderick XXIII gather together and train a party of adventurers to clear out Madeon Caves and bring peace to the wildmarches of Midthalion? Sent from his home monastery in the west to the wildmarches of Midthalion, Roderick the Holy Avenger is devoted to living out his oath to bring the Holy Light to the dark corners of the world. He enlists the help of an old friend, Ulrich Vogelbrandt the dwarf druid, to train and prepare a fighting force capable of defending the west from the evil they both see gathering and growing in the east. Eoroth is an ode to Tolkienesque epic fantasy, Robert E Howard and H.P. Lovecraft's pulp fiction, and Gygaxian Dungeons & Dragons. I like to write about serious topics because I think it's fun. I hope it makes for a fun read. Place: Eoroth, a vast, flat world with many continents set in oceans that reach out and mingle with the Celestial Sea. Our story takes place on the continent of Thalion in the middle, unsettled region called Midthalion. Peoples: Races in Eoroth aren't different species; the species of man is just incredibly diverse, consisting of many known races (and perhaps some unknown). There are no humans in Thalion. Thalion's races include variations of elves, dwarves, halflings (billowits), pierros (clownish men), bergeracs (long-nosed and swarthy men of honour), orcs, trolls, goblins, and hobgobs. The Church: There's one dominant religion in Westhalion. The faith of the elves is an analogue to Roman Catholicism while the dwarves practice an Eastern Orthodox analogue. (Forgive me for not having figured out names yet.) The practitioners worship a triune god (the All-Father, Son-of-All, and Holy Light). There are many powers in heaven, all created by God. These include the Twelve High Thrones, individual, created beings who take on the role of guiding mankind in different aspects, drawing them closer and closer to God. (That should be the essentials. I could write pages on the theology. Comment where something's unclear in the story.) Natural World: There are plants and animals in Eoroth, but the world is also inhabited by spirits called aeons. Aeons are transformative beings; in the wild, they'll change based on whatever is happening nearby. Pollute a pond? Expect to see toxic toad-men running around. Leave a bunch of dead bodies strewn across a battlefield? Expect the place to become haunted with ghouls and ghasts. Druids are important for making sure that the aeons are pacified; that their needs are met so that they don't become rampaging monsters. Where the wilderness becomes overgrown, so too do the aeons. Aeons and People: Long ago, men learned how to trap aeons in stone tablets and use them for war. Now, anyone can capture an aeon into a special staff made by a druid. Men train, raise, and bond with these aeons. Druids often build entire ranches devoted to raising healthy aeons as allies and companions. Aeons are divided into twelve known families, and the church sees these as corresponding with the Twelve Thrones in Heaven. Direction: My goal is to get the story to one million words by June next year. I have tons of content in mind for the world. I want to release novels set in different ages of the world depicting different historical events. I hope to expand the setting into a tabletop role-playing game as well as a series of old-school JRPGs. But, it all begins with writing some stories and publishing my novels.

We were that couple everyone wanted to be like.
8 162Mindfulness
"Mindfulness? What do you mean Bradley?" I was speechless and I wasn't able to comprehend."You already know Stef, you can understand it by the way I look at you, I'm completely aware of what I feel, we have families and I have a daughter, but nothing will take me away from you. You are my Zweisamkeit, you know what I mean?" I looked at him, he was smiling and it was the best smile in the entire world. and I started to laugh. "I don't speak German Bradley, you know." "This word describes the self-imposed isolation of a couple in love. Their togetherness creates a kind of loneliness around the two of them. And you, you are the only one who makes me feel like this. I can't let you go and I have to tell you, I love you Stefani, more than the word can say, more than anything, I'm in love with you from the first day I met you at your home, you were smiling with your blonde hair messed up, and when you started to sing, I saw heaven. I use this world, Mindfulness because I'm aware of my feeling from the first time." He started to get closer to me and...
