《His painful rejection》Chapter 21 Rescue plan
Advertisement
Even after all these years I still could remember the way to the pack house. I know I have to get there fast in order to save my daughter from those rogues. Lucy was behind me from the looks of it she might collapse at any moment which worries me. I don't have the strength to carry her.
My brother and Steven made sure to keep me weak all these years not to the point of starvation or death, but enough to keep me from trying to escape.
A few minutes later I could feel the all too familiar pull of the pack link and I knew I was getting close. A minute later I had stepped over the pack border and had entered my old home.
As we walked into the clearing a young man was running to us. He passed me and went and hugged Lucy I guess he is her mate. He engulfed her with hugs and kisses. I turned to look at the pack house once more and another young man ran up to us. He stared at me with a confused expression, but soon his expression turned to joy mixed with sadness.
"Dad?"
"Dan is that you?" I asked
He nodded and pulled me in for a hug. He began to cry as I held on to him.
"Dan I know this is a shocking moment for the both of us, but we can deal with this later. I have to talk to the alpha right now," he nodded and pulled away.
"I'll take you to him," he said. I nodded and followed him.
He knocked at the alphas door and a voice that I wasn't familiar with answered. When I stepped in the alpha that was in the position at the time I was beta wasn't there anymore.
"Excuse me where is alpha Weston?"
"I am alpha Weston"
"Oh I see... you must be his son?"
"Yes. Is there something that you need?" He asked.
"Yes. I am Richard Matthews, the old beta of this pack.."

"Wait. You're Beta Matthews? I...I thought you were dead"
"Well as you can see I'm not, but I'll explain later now we have to go save my daughter"
He stood up quickly and seemed alert, "you know where Kristen is?"
"Yes. Lucy and I we're able to escape, but Kristen stayed back making sure we could escape. I know they got her before she could make a run for it"
"Please tell me where she is...I..." a knock at the door stopped him. "Come in."
"Roy, Lucy's back she came with.." the young man turned to look at me.
"Hunter this is beta Matthews. He is Kristen's father"
Hunter turned to look at me, "It's nice to meet you I am alpha Collins"
"It's nice to meet you alpha"
"Mr. Matthews what news do you have to tell us?" Alpha Weston asked.
"I know where they have Kristen," I watched as both the alphas stood straight and walked closer to me.
"where is she?" They both asked.
"I can take you there, but...."
"We have to go now," alpha Weston said.
"Yes but won't it be guarded," alpha Collins asked.
They both turned to me, "Is it?" they asked.
I nodded, "it's full of rogues if we go in without a plan we'll surely get defeated."
Alpha Weston ran his hand through his hair and paced back and forward, "What should we do then?"
"We have to talk to the warriors and see how we can make this work. We have to save my mate!" Alpha Collins said. Alpha Weston turned to look at Collins with anger. "Sorry I ment our mate."
Our? What do they mean by our mate.
"You both are mates with Kristen"? I asked
"Yes," they both answered.
"how...but how...what?" I was confused.
"We ourselves have yet to understand why we share the same mate," Alpha Collins answered. I nodded understand the situation.
"Ok. Then what must be done first"? I asked them.

"First let's call in the Warriors into the war room. so we can make up an attack plan," Alpha Collins informed
I nodded, "Okay and then?"
"Then we go in for the kill," They both said.
"I don't care what happens as long as my daughter is saved and out of that bastard of my brothers hands it's all I want"
"Don't worry beta Matthews we'll get Kristen back and we'll make sure that they pay for all the pain they have caused all the pack especially you"
"That's all I ask for"
"And that's what will do sir"
"Good," I responded
"Now let's call in the warriors the faster we do this the quicker we'll have Kristen back with us"
we were all together in the war room figuring out what strategy would be the best to used. After some arguments and a few flights we came together and made the perfect plan. Well as perfect as we possibly can.
Hunter stood up and looked at all of us, "So this is how it will go. I'll command the first group to attack. Roy will command the second, and beta Matthews with command the third. Take down as much rogues as possible. Remember the goal here is to save Kristen and bring down the leader, but Kristen is our main priority here do you understand?"
They all responded with a, "yes alpha"
"Okay. We must all be prepared at 0300 hours. We'll leave at 0500 hours, and attack at 0600 hours. All must go as plan Do you understand?"
"Yes alpha"
"Okay, and one more thing protect each other's backs. When you see someone in distress don't hesitate to help. They possibly have more people than us, but we're better trained"
They all nodded, "You're dismissed," Hunter said.
they all bowed and walked out the Door.
"Do you think this plan will be successful?" I asked.
"I don't know beta Matthews," Roy ran his hand through his hair."All I know is that there is a big possibility that most of them won't come back alive. I just couldn't tell them."
I nodded, "I understand, but it's a chance we'll just have to take"
"Beta Matthews go have some rest we'll all have to be well rested for this war," Hunter said.
"Okay," I began to head for the door. "Alphas?" I said.
"Yes"
"You can kill the leader but leave my brother for me. We have some unfinished business that needs to be taken care of"
"We understand Beta Matthews. He's all yours"
"Okay," I nodded and walked out
I headed to my old house where I once lived happily with my family, and now those moments are just memories of the past. As I walked to it I saw all the warriors spending their last few hours with their families. To think that some will not come back breaks my heart. I have experienced the pain of losing a mate. It is something I do not wish for anyone to endure.
I walked into the empty house. I'm sure that Dan must be going over a few things with the alpha so I am left alone for now.
I walked up the stairs and down the corridor to the room I once shared with my wife. The room has been left like it had been almost eleven years ago. Nothing had been moved and I was glad it hadn't.
I sat on the bed and picked out a frame that held a picture of my wife and I with the kids. Tears fell I hadn't seen a picture of my dear Elizabeth in years.
"Oh my Elizabeth how much I miss you. If you could only see how much everything has changed. If you could see how much our children have grown. Dan has become Beta and Kristen oh, our little girl is such a beautiful flower," I sighed. "I promise I'll get our little girl back Elizabeth. I'll make my brother pay for the pain he has caused all of us. I promise."
I laid down and hugged the frame to me, "I promise," I said as I fell asleep.

Godfather Of Champions
This is a story about the pursuit of victory.— «I subscribe only to the theory of victory. I only pursue victory. As long as I am able to obtain victory, I don’t care if it’s total football or counterattack. What is the ultimate goal of professional soccer? In my opinion, it is victory, and the pinnacle of victory is to become the champions. I am a manager. If I don’t wish to lose my job or be forgotten by the people, there’s only one path for me to take, and that is to lead the team in obtaining victories, in obtaining championship titles!»The main character was not well-liked by people.— «⋯We conducted a survey which had been deemed by Manager Tony Twain as extremely meaningless. In a random street survey conducted, ninety-three percent of those surveyed chose the option ‘I hate Tony Twain’, while only seven percent chose the option ‘This person is rather decent, I like him’. It is worth noting that nobody chose the option ‘Who is Tony Twain? I don’t know him’. Mark, do you know why Manager Twain felt that our survey was very meaningless?» Parker, a reporter from laughed loudly and said when he was being interviewed by BBC.But there were also people who were madly in love with him.— When Tony Twain was forced to talk about the survey conducted by during an interview, his reply was : «I am happy, because Nottingham Forest’s fans make up seven percent of England’s population.»And he did not seem to care about how the others saw him.— «What are you all trying to make me say? Admit that I am not popular, and everywhere I go will be filled with jeers and middle fingers. You all think I will be afraid? Wrong! Because I am able to bring victory to my team and its supporters. I don’t care how many people hate me and can’t wait to kill me, and I also won’t change myself to accommodate the mood of these losers. You want to improve your mood? Very simple, come and defeat me.»His love story had garnered widespread attention.— «Our reporters took these pictures at Manager Tony Twain’s doorsteps. It clearly shows that Shania entered his house at 8.34pm and she did not leave the house throughout the night at all. But Manager Tony Twain firmly denies, and insists that that was merely the newest-model inflatable doll which he had ordered.He was the number one star of the team.— «⋯ Became the spokesperson of world-wide famous clothing brands, shot advertisements, frequented the fashion industry’s award ceremonies, endorsed electronic games, has a supermodel girlfriend. His earnings from advertisements exceed his club salary by seventeen times, owns a special column in various print medias, publishing his autobiography (in progress), and is even said that he is planning to shoot an inspirational film based off his own person experiences! Who can tell me which part of his life experiences is worthy of being called ‘inspirational’? Hold on⋯. Are you all thinking that I’m referring to David Beckham? You’re sorely mistaken! I’m talking about Manager Tony Twain⋯.»He was very knowledgeable about Chinese soccer.— «⋯ I’ve heard about it, that Bora gifted four books to his manager Mr. Zhu before your country’s national team’s warm up match. After which, the team lost 1:3 to a nameless American team from Major League Soccer. The new excuse that Mr. Zhu gave for losing the match, was that Bora gifted «books» (‘books’ and ‘lose’ are homophones in the Chinese language). Here, I recommend that you guys find out what that one specific book is. Which book? Of course the one that caused you all to score a goal. After that, tell me the title of the book. Before every match, I will gift ten copies of that same book to you. In that case, won’t you all be able to get a triumphant 10:0 win over your opponents every time?» An excerpt taken from Tony Twain’s special column in a certain famous Chinese sports newspaper.He was loved and hated by the press.— «He has a special column in at least four renowned print media, and he is able to get a considerable amount of remuneration just by scolding people or writing a few hundred words of nonsense weekly. While we have to contemplate hard about our drafts for three days before our boss is pleased with it. In an article inside his special column, he scolded and called all of the media ‘son of a bitch’, announcing that he hated the media the most. But every time he publishes an article, we flock towards him like flies which had spotted butter. Why? Because the readers like to read his news and see him scold people. I dare to bet with you, and Manager Tony Twain knows clearly in his heart as well, that even though he says that he hates us, he knows that the present him cannot do without us. Similarly, we also cannot do without him. Is this ultimately considered a good or a bad thing?» Bruce Pearce, a reporter from said with a face of helplessness when talking about Tony Twain.But no matter the case, his players were his most loyal believers.— Gareth Bale, «No no, we never had any pressure when playing on our home grounds. Because the pressure is all on the manager. As long as we see him standing by the side of the field, all of us will feel that we will be able to win that match. Even the football hooligans are like meek lambs in front of him!» (After saying this, he began to laugh out loudly)The reply from George Wood, the team captain of Nottingham Forest, was the most straightforward. «We follow him because he can bring us victory.»The legendary experience of Tony Twain, the richest, most successful, most controversial manager with the most unique personality!Debuting this summer.Thank you for reading.

8 115Chaos Wave
The year is 2055. Virtual Reality has been around for nearly forty years, and the Full Sensation Dive System has been around for about thirty. The various countries of Earth have long since given up on Warring against each other in this dimension when it turned out that with the FSDS (Full Sensation Dive System) virtual worlds became real, especially once Richard Alonzo Albeque's AIQNPC (Artificial Intelligence Quest and Non-Player Character) System was released and spread like a wild virus across all the active MMOs. People vanished from their Dive system, leaving nothing behind of the person they were, and the Characters they were in game become locked out, and no longer responsive to the System. In addition to this, they are suddenly showing up on ALL servers of a game at the same time, almost as if they were now an NPC. The governments put a stop to all distribution of FSDS Technology, and keep an eye on these 'Digitized Players'. Ten years pass and one of the first ever Digitized Players, a Level 500 Catgirl by the name of Atreya the Dawnbirth, created a stable portal between their MMO and Earth. With the return of one of the players, the governments remove the bans on FSDS Technology, which has still been researched heavily while under the ban. Wars break out over control of Virtual Worlds, but these wars are all fought ON the Virtual World, so the Earth isn't polluted further. Immortality is now available to all who seek it, if you can find a World to call your own. Of course, nobody paid attention to one of the few warnings Atreya brought back with her... The NPCs sometimes became sentient and disobeyed coding laws.
8 184In Another World with Doraemon's 4D Pocket
Cary found himself awoken in a foreign land with what he thought was a nondescript white pouch. Reaching into the white pouch, he was able to pull out an assortment of gadgets that he recognized to be from his favorite childhood show, Doraemon. With the thousands of mischievous, powerful gadgets inside the 4D pocket, Cary will take on this new world by storm! Something ridiculous I will write purely for fun alongside my main story Giantslayer As a disclaimer, I may nerf some of the most broken gadgets or even not use them at all. Doraemon was insane for a children manga (e.g. Doraemon canonically has a nuclear bomb inside his 4D pocket), some of the gadgets have the potential to end this story in one chapter. The most important factor is fun so anything that completely breaks the story might not be mentioned at all (or we will pretend they do not exist in the 4D pocket). We may find uses for those broken gadgets in the future, though. I am not particularly good at writing comedy. There will of course be funny moments (at least I hope they are funny) but everyone in this story will actually behave in a realistic(?) and serious manner. I want the serious world to contrast with some of the wacky gadgets that are available.
8 65Avatar: Jǫrðsaga
There is beauty in Chaos and serenity in Order. One cannot exist without the other. Each gives meaning to their counterpart, eternal rivals and eternal lovers. It’s a shame only a rare few ever come to this revelation. Most live their lives trapped in an illusion, their path to enlightenment forever cut off. A lie will forever remain a lie, no matter how sweet it is. I will not turn a blind eye to the truth of the world. It matters not what others think of me, be they family, friends, allies, or enemies. They may call me a monster, a devil, a lunatic even. But I will not bend. I will not break. I will not be forced into conformity under threat posed by the child of Order. Because what is Order if not Chaos’ accomplice? There is only one path worth treading, and I will do whatever it takes to advance forward. For I am Sǫlmundr, Lord of the Earth. Avatar series fanfic. The first volume will not have anything canon. I apologise in advance. It will be setting up the mcs background and origins. It’s gonna be between 60 to 70 chapters in length. The power system in the avatar is pretty non-confrontational. You don’t have to fight for resources like in cultivation novels, so the frequency of his evil acts will be pretty spread out. This is a slow burn novel that I hope will draw readers into the world and slowly build up to whatever the climax of each arc is. I can only promise that he will always be a rational, benefits based mc. No harem. There will be love of some sort, but only because I’m literally forced by the power system to include it. Don’t worry though, mc will always prioritise his own interests first and will not let feelings get in the way. Chapter length: ≈ 2k words Updates: Once a week
