《The Alpha's Human Mate》Chapter 23 Xavier's POV
Advertisement
What the hell was that?
Did he just kiss her? Did that guy just kiss my mate? Oh, I was going to kill him.
I made a move to push my chair back and stand up, but both Brad and Grayson grabbed one of my shoulders and pushed me farther back into my chair.
"Don't make a scene," Grayson whisper yelled in my heart over the sound of everyone clapping and Mr. Hnason announcing the next group.
"He just kissed her!" I snapped back. "I'm not just going to sit here and listen to the next act, I'm going to go backstage and beat the living hell out of that guy."
"Or you could try and not kill him and go talk to Addison instead," Brad suggested while keeping me pinned in my seat.
"Or I could do both," I spat at my two best friends before managing to rip their hands off of me and storm backstage. I did my best to avoid the eyes of all the human teachers, knowing that the werewolf ones wouldn't dare try and stop their Alpha, especially when I was fuming.
I could hear Grayson and brad's footsteps trailing behind me and I silently made my way backstage in search of my girlfriend and that stupid human boy.
"What's your plan, man?" Brad asked me once he caught up finally. "Just walk back here and shift in front of everyone? Or better yet drag his ass outside and beat him up and then blame it on a mountain lion attack?"
"Ivy!" I shouted once I found her standing off to the side furiously texting away,
I received a few 'shh's' in return from various students that looked annoyed. Like I was the bad guy.
"Where is she?" I demanded. "Where's Addison and that boy?"
"Ok, you need to calm down, Xavier. Because whatever it was that just happened on stage wasn't planned out. And I know that Addison would never go around kissing other guys." Ivy stuck up for her best friend and future luna.
If I wasn't seeing red right now and I would be touched by how much she already cared about Addison.

"Well, she didn't look like she was trying to stop it either," I bite back.
"Look," Ivy let out a long sigh. "I don't know where she is. When I exited the stage I made my way towards the side, where I was waiting for her before everyone started to crowd around the curtain and long at what was happening. By the time I managed to push my way up front she was gone and so was Andrew."
"Well did you check the dressing rooms?" Grayson asked confused.
"Of course I did," Ivy told us. "But she wasn't there. Her bag is though, but she's not."
My heart was breaking. Why would Addison just kiss that guy and then leave? That wasn't like her. If she wasn't ready for everyone she could have told me, she could have asked for a pause or to just be friends. Sure, I wouldn't be happy but would do anything to keep her happy and close to me. Hell, I would die for her.
"Maybe she's in the girls' room?" Brad suggested.
"I'll go check," Ivy said right away before turning on her hell and making a bee-line for the nearest girls' room.
"Wait wasn't Andrew that same guy that Addison reeked off not long ago?" Grayson asked out loud.
"None of this make's sense," I told my boys. I felt like I could cry. "Why would she do all of this? I mean I just met her mom and everything."
"She's not in any of the bathrooms," Ivy announced half running, half walking back to us.
"Then where could she be?"
"I'm going to change out of this awful dress and then we can meet up again in the library." Ivy gave us no room for argument before leaving.
"Maybe mind link, Audrey?" I suggested to Brad. "Maybe Addison went to go see her."
Brad's eye's glazed over for a brief moment before he shook his head. "She hasn't heard from her either."
I felt like I need to punch something.

"Ok, let's go," Ivy was already grabbing hold of Grayson's hand pulling him along with her. Brad and myself training closely behind. "We can check the library, and then her car and we can always call her mom and stop by her house if we need to."
Addison wasn't in the library, and we could all still see her car parked out front right beside my truck where she left it this morning.
"Let's at least go and see if she grabbed her backpack and clothes," Audrey suggested already getting from the table and going to make her way back to the theatre.
It was almost lunchtime now and we still haven't heard a word from Addison. The next step was to go by her house and check with her mom.
"Isn't that Addison's bag?" Grayson asked already walking over to it.
It was. Faded black with a few pins stuck into the straps. It was Addison's.
"So that has to mean that she heard us coming, dropped her bag and ran, right?" Brad said confused.
But then I felt my heart stop. I saw the scattered chairs right beside the door, and then I smelt the blood. Addison's blood.
"Something happened," I whispered. "That's her blood."
"I'll mind link Hunter and Jackson to go do a look around the school and see if she's nearby. If they don't find her will send out the rest of the trackers and warriors to look for her. She can't have made it far yet," Brad said as teh voice of reason. There was a reason that he was in change of the trackers and warriors.
"It looks like maybe she came back to change, saw someone or something, got scared and made a run for it. But before she could whoever or whatever it was pushed her and she hurt herself," Ivy said trying to make sense of what could have happened. "She would never go willingly with someone she didn't trust."
"Which means that she's injured," I interjected. "And I bet that that Andrew guy has something to do without."
"Wait, Xavier!" Audrey yelled. "Where do you think you're going?"
"To get some answers," I spite back. "To find my mate."
I was too late. By the time I made it to the school office to ask what class Andrew was in the front secretary told me that he had already checked out. Just before the end of first period to be exact. Thankfully the secretary was also a werewolf and member of my pack so it didn't take much for her to give me the guy's home address so I could go and find him.
"Alpha!" I heard a shout from behind me, but I was too determined to find Addison to stop for a second.
"Xavier!" Ivy yelled at the top of her lungs. Now, this had me stop dead in my tracks, for being so small, Ivy was scary.
"I'm busy," I said turning my head slightly before I kept walking.
"Hunter picked up her scent but lost it in the parking lot. Someone took her, Xavier."
"I'm on my way to Andrew's house to tear him apart," I muttered. I could feel my wolf wanting to surface, he was craving his mate and so was I.
"It wasn't him, Xavier. They found Andrew at the cafe on Second and she wasn't with him. He didn't even smell like her. it's someone else," Brad said. "And we need to put all our effort and time into finding her. So get your head out of your ass and drop this little manhunt and help us find Addison."
"Whoever took her is going to suffer," I promised. "And I'm going to love every second of it."

Warlock's Gate [DROPPED]
In the empire of Orinthian, Fallon Gaumond, a young Warlock, is determined to be free from her father’s controlling demands and become a Sentinel. At her side, cloaked in shadows, is her Dementher familiar, Asmodeus, who is equally committed to seeing the Warlock grow to reach her full potential. But dealing with her overly hungry companion while keeping her secret, illegal visits to Highguard’s city dungeon hidden is the least of Fallon’s problems. As a Praeditus, she is expected to serve alongside her father and the rest of Highguard’s Praefecti to resolve the growing problem of refugees fleeing an adversary even the strongest Sentinel dare not face alone. The Gates which strike Orinthian with ever-growing frequency and pour upon these war-hardened cities merciless invading hordes of monsters from other dimensions who seek to pillage, burn, and slaughter everything that stands in their way. Please Note this is my first attempt at a litRPG. I also ask that you keep an open mind as I will be diverging, in my own way, from many of the litRPG stories I have read. For those of you who missed it, this is a Multiple Lead Characters story, hence the tag. I should also mention that this will get crunchy as far as numbers go and please pay attention to the Profanity tag.
8 253How the Stars Turned Red
Announcement as of 05 July 2022: I've been diagnosed with some pretty severe nerve damage in my left arm, rendering me unable to write effectively, and as such this story is on hold until it is healed. I am so sorry, and I promise to get back to writing as soon as possible. In the latter half of the 3rd millennium CE, humanity has spread across the stars, inhabiting close to five-hundred worlds across the Orion Arm. Earth has become irrelevant, a historical has-been. The galactic map is dominated by two mega-factions, both controlling vast amounts of territories either through direct control or through their many allies and treaty signatories. The Kingdom of Aurora is the political and economic hegemon despite consisting of only seven inhabited worlds; their strength lies in the Royal Union, an interstellar commonwealth composing an internal market and a common defence pact. These member worlds are myriad and varied, culturally as well as politically, but they all flock to the same banner. The Independent Systems Alliance, spearheaded by the Republic of Elysium, is the ascendant challenger to Aurora and the Union. A pseudo-federal multi-system polity, the Alliance economy and military is rapidly expanding, but at the cost of effective democratic and meritocratic involvement by its people. However, with two superpowers as this, chafing along a common border, and with a constant clamour of polemics, both sides have become convinced the other is constantly preparing for war and are on the look-out for any perceived weakness in their opponent. The predictable result is a huge arms race and a cold war spreading across the stars, requiring only a spark to set the galaxy aflame. Drawn into this game of high stakes are ordinary men and women, their peaceful lives, hopes, and aspirations swallowed by the vortex of conflict and distrust. This is their story. Cover art by Rhodex Designs (FB). Hope you like long chapters and adjectives. Note: English is not my first language. Another story set in the same universe, written by a good friend

8 61Hush | on hold
"Your name?"When I stayed silent, he repeated himself. "Your name?""Jeyri." I let out quietly."And last name?""Rae...""Jeyri Rae..." He crouched down next to me and moved the hair from in front of my face, "I dislike when things get difficult, I end up doing things I'd much rather not do. Do you want to know what happened to the last person who made things difficult for me, hmm?" He asked, leaning into me. Is he talking about me calling the cops? He pressed his gun against my head and frowned, "You get it don't you?"I nodded quickly. "Good... And if you tell anyone what you saw today, I'll know." He pressed his finger against my lips and smiled, "So hush."
