《The Alpha and I (Book 1)》29. Alpha Ash
Advertisement
We took off that night, I was restless to see Cici and hold her close to me while I take in her intoxicating scent. I needed my Luna, Victor was restless to see our mate too and we raced full speed to make the trip shorter knowing she was waiting for us at the end. Darius and Paul were right behind me, ready to bring their Luna back home as much as I was.
All my warriors were with us except for the border patrol, better safe then sorry right?
Two days and we were at the border of her pack but all that we could smell was blood. Lots of blood. The scent hung in the air... none of it was fresh but it smelt like a massacre occurred here a few weeks ago and nobody had yet cleaned up.
I growled low in my chest as did everyone with me sensing the scene we were walking into.
Bodies lay everywhere.
Some as their wolves and some in human form.
Whole families slaughtered in their beds.
It was a horrific sight.
They didn't stand a chance.
Where was she?
I couldn't sense her or smell her scent here.
It was as if she never even came here.
My warriors let off howls for the lost wolves, they may not have been our pack member, but they were the same as us and to see a whole pack slaughtered like this hurt us all.
I shifted and ran into the large main pack house but no sign of Cici was to be found anywhere. Neither was her father.
Something was horribly wrong, no Alpha would leave his pack to die like this without going down with them.
'Mate' Victor whined, but she wasn't here. I was glad not to see her body laying here but it also meant I had no idea where to find her.
"FUCK!!"

Quantum Worlds (A LitRPG dark fantasy)
Find the missing VIP in an illegal game world. Kill the monsters. Return home for the paycheck. Decorated Marine commander, Damon Williams, never thought his latest mission would take place in a full-immersion world fighting monsters… but when a high-value VIP disappears after being stealthily transported to a banned MMORPG, he's their only hope. Damon must lead a group of rescuers into an unforgiving world infested with terrifying monsters and worse. Pain is real. Death is permanent. He and his crew must adapt quickly, trust each other, and fight to survive. And if all that's not bad enough, they'll also have to race against time to avoid the realm’s disintegration and mutation effects. Quantum Worlds features race and class designations, unique creatures, dungeon crawling, level progression and Easter eggs that reference video games and pop culture. This a dark fantasy, but it also has sprinklings of humor throughout. It is a multi-cast, multi-pov story. In many ways, it is a melding of one of my favorite novels, “The Stand”, with my favourite genre, LitRPG. I don’t espouse to be anywhere near Stephen King, but I would like to think that I have succeeded in many areas here (you’ll be the judge of that). So, this thriller-style story has a lot of build-up and lots of drama. When it hits the 100-page mark, it starts to take off with some intense action and fight scenes (although there are battles long before that). Nothing comes easy for this group of rescuers. And the dangers are very real. This saga is already over 100 chapters with more to come. I hope you enjoy it and look forward to your reviews, comments, and feedback. Thanks. Chapters are uploaded every day at noon ET. Please do not repost this work anywhere without my written permission. Quantum Worlds is a participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge.
8 113The Mountains of Mourning
After his rebellion failed, Patrick and his team escaped to another world, thinking to be safe there, and live out what remained of their broken lives in whatever peace they might find. But the world he found wasn't the one he expected, and that remainder of his life threatened to become very short, unless he found a way to survive in this monster-ridden hostile environment. To make matters worse, more refugees started to come in, falling through portals, disturbing the balance. With them they brought tales of war and chaos, the horrors of those who were left behind, and the ravenous hunger for blood of the Tyrant they thought they left behind. Unable to leave the new settlers to their fate, Patrick and his team take on the roles that are pushed onto them, some with enthusiasm, some with reluctance, all striving to build a better world than the one they left behind. They should have realized that portals that open once, can be opened again, and that what they thought they left behind, might one day catch up.
8 84Terminus
Terminus is a slow-paced action, fantasy, adventure, mystery, and a little bit of science fiction mixed in a single long book. The story is about a young boy who—On a mission to investigate the cause behind the reports of people’s mysterious disappearances in Graymore—discovers that the world he resides in, is not real—a simulation if you will—and is created by an ancient and technologically superior race; and the one in control of the simulation is a bored God, who desires nothing but a little spice in his life. Thus the God decides to give our boy access to a file called “Subject: #10994773892 — Aidan Cyrus”. Devastated that the world he lives in is nothing but a fictional world created by a God for his entertainment, Aidan finds himself tied in between two behemoths of empires—who’re at each other's throats. He is also in existential crisis, and whether the relationships he has with people are really . . . Real. Are they nothing but a preset personality? Or are they just following certain predetermined commands? Is he real? If he’s not then, what’s even the point of his life? Join Aidan on his journey to unveil the truth behind it all and to survive in the cruel world of Titan.
8 129Desolate Stars
Human civilisation has at last settled into their place in the galaxy. Trade flourishes and civilisation resurges. Technology is finally catching up to the wonders of days bygone. But that’s only on the surface. Humanity is always a little uglier beneath the skin. A life among the stars. Travelling. Seeing new sights. Is it a good life? Is it a bad life? That depends. Because usually it isn’t that simple. And it’s never the stars you have to watch out for, it’s the people around you. Kik is soon shoved into a position he has no choice but to take. He’s just a tool in the great game of galactic politics. But every tool has their uses, and this particular tool has his own will. This is a science fiction adventure story. I’m attempting to go with gritty realism.
8 96The Forerunner's Odyssey
The greatest tragedies are not the ones with the most unfortunate and unhappy endings, but rather the ones without an ending at all. So when Suran Ibrahim scaled the fresh crater, it was not out of exuberance for surviving his ordeal, nor was it out of desire to live in the brave, new world he found himself in. He simply longed for an ending to his odyssey. Mature 18+ Mostly for violence, some language, but anything else may show up eventually. I place the tag just so that I'm not restricted. I'm rewriting this to fix a host of issues. I'll try to update my progress in the blurb - I most likely wont post the revisions until I'm done for all chapters. Till then, c'ya later fam. Maybe. Character rework: 100% Planing: 80% Rewrite: 5/35 Editing: 5/35
