What have I done? What have I done to you Rain?! Oh Goddess I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.... it was just a stupid crush, she didn't deserve any of this. And Luna? Curse her!
I try to curb this vicious cycle and what does she do? She threatens to go to my mother, my MOTHER of ALL people!
Breathe Shelly, breathe...
This sounded so simple in my head: I confess to Luna Lilly, she goes to her mate and then without divulging too much detail, they order the pack to stop hurting Rain cause they have that much power as leaders! But no, Luna just had to bring up my mother, my freakin mother!
That woman has this pack by the balls! Financially at least, about 51% of the pack's funding is from her, a combination of my family's businesses and inheritance from her parents. That's why sometimes she can override the elders' decisions if she chooses to. Not to mention our she comes from a long lineage of warriors, THE best. A gene that missed me and left me all fragile and weak. And, I guess... unlovable. The Head Pack Warrior is my mother's brother, that means she is a militant by blood. She just chose to focus on the business side of things, now do you understand the kind of trouble I'm in??
It took me a long, long time to gain her approval, and even then it was because I got myself noticed by the pack by trumping on my innocent friend's life.
When I asked Luna Lilly why she insists I show that cursed book to JJ, she said it was 'Damage Control' with a callousness that made me cringe. She said that it would be very suspicious if "suddenly" the pack slut went free and accepted, that surely somebody would come snooping. That if not that, said pack slut might run her mouth. She told me there's no going back from here, that its too late. What does that mean? My Luna is actively seeking a way to permanently discredit Rain so that should she never find an ear willing to listen, NO-ONE believes her.

I screwed up, I know.
I'll just keep this book away from JJ for as long as I can, it's the least I can do for Rain. I don't know how much help that'll be but, I won't take away Rain's last chance at happiness.
I'm sorry Rain, I'm so sorry.

That little twit! I'm so furious at her! The amount of chaos this pack would suffer if our deeds were revealed is beyond measure! NO. It cannot and definitely will not happen, not under my watch! Where is the little twit anyway? I'll tear her limb from limb, how dare she?!! I'm so frazzled and this pacing is not helping, dammit Jackson, useless, useless, USELESS!!
"By the Moon Jackson, stop staring at me!" I yell at the dumb Alpha granted to me as a mate and take great pleasure when he nearly falls out of his chair.
"Don't attack, I'm innocent."
Oh he thinks he's funny, ha ha.
I kept on with my pacing, he can't know anyway, its his life I'm trying to save here. What to do? What to do? The Evertons are out of the question, spineless Eva can't be much help, not without asking Melissa first and we can't have that. And Mr. Everton? That blubber mouth is sure to land himself in hot water every time he speaks, its truly a miracle he can fight so well.
The Council in question makes and enforces laws that bind us Weres and they rule with an iron fist. No mercy, no second chances. They'd disband this pack right before our very eyes after sentencing to death all those who'd served pain to the pup. In this case, the WHOLE pack could be killed. I can't have that, I can't, not over one stupid pup.
My father would know just what to do in this situation, so strong a wolf he was.
Is.
Still is.
"There are casualties to every war my precious Lilly," He said. "your mother was one of 'em and we can't do jack about it." Those were the words he said to me back when my seven year old self questioned the whereabouts of my mother after she didn't return home the night before. Then the mutts locked him up for 'killing' her 6 months later. How do you arrest a soldier in the middle of a war zone?

So she died, that's her fault. Nobody got to call my dad crazy and live to talk about it. My mom was stupid and a disloyal mate.
I hate those mutts, they locked away the wisest wolf to ever live.
"When next are you visiting your father love?" I froze at my mate's question. Was I projecting? I sure hope not! But let me wall up just in case. "I mean, we haven't been to the mental institution in so long... I just...thought you would want t-love to go??"
Ha! I make a grown man squeak!
"When this is all over." I replied as vague as I can, going over to sit on his lap. Its such an intense surge of love I feel when he runs his strong hands up and down my back that I calm down instantly. I know he loves me and he's mine forever, that's why I have to do this, I can't let them kill him, not if I can help it.

"By the Moon Jackson, stop staring at me!!" I nearly jumped out of my chair at my mate's sudden burst of anger. "Don't attack, I'm innocent." I quickly pleaded for my life.
Lilly continued to pace my office so fast it made me dizzy, through our bond I could sense pure, boiling rage but for the life of me, I couldn't name the cause.
Women can be so confusing...
To keep my limbs intact I remained quiet, Lords knows I've already been lashed at for banning my coward son from conferring with me due to his behavior and I'm only trying to teach him how other leaders treat those who take no claim to their birthright. It's the unwritten rules of business, nobody wants to talk business with a child. For that I do not apologize, JJ better grow up, that's all there is to it.
Last I heard he locked himself up in his room out of embarrassment from failure to protect his own mate plus the tales he's heard of his mate. I think its suffice to say his ego took quite the knockdown.
Lily is a whole different matter, one I haven't figured out still. Sometimes I ask myself if the moon goddess sent her my way just to test me and at other times I enjoy how unpredictable she is. I am just glad no-one is checking my progress cause I'm doing terrible to be honest, I feel like I don't know who my mate really is most of the time. She is quick to anger, hard to please and her sheltering of JJ drives me up the wall. If you are confused then.... join the club.
"When next are you visiting your father love?" I dared to brook through her anger, if I'm lucky she won't bite my head off. First she seemed bothered, nearly snarling at me as if I'm wrong to ask which I'm not, I know she loves that crazy bastard. "I mean, we haven't been to the mental institution in so long... I just.. thought you would want t-love to go??"
Curse that squeak!
She regarded me momentarily, her face going blank of emotion as she shut our bond off. What is she hiding?
"When this is all over." She answered me rather.. cryptically. I didn't question this however cause she soon perched herself at my lap and held on to me for dear life, telling me without many words that she needs me. She calmed down instantly as I ran a soothing hand up and down her back, and I was glad for this cause my wolf too was able to breathe a little easier. Maybe it's nothing to worry myself about but whatever happens, I will protect her with all I have because she was gifted to me by the Moon Goddess to do just that.
~~~~
I deserve better than that slut! The things I've heard, Goddess knows she'll pay for humiliating me and I'll make it hurt, I'll make hurt so bad she'll NEVER forget my name. Ha!

Parallel universes exist. Ten years ago, a terrorist organization called Liroli waged an all-out war against the World Order, bent on obtaining the means to travel between these parallel universes. Although the war ended with the government's victory, it was not without consequences. A poisonous element known as Lorine began leaking from the other worlds, bringing a plague that wiped out a third of humanity — the infamous May Death. Those infected gained strange abilities, in exchange for their certain death in a year. To counter the great plague that threatened humanity's survival, the government launched the World Restoration Project: gathering those infected and sending them into Lorine-polluted parallel worlds to seal the leaks between them. But it isn't that easy a task, as many dangers lurk behind these worlds, while those infected must deal with their own looming deaths. This is the story of Jack Waterfelt, the only human in the world immune to the May Death, and the 43rd Sealing Squad.
8 162World Master
Hey! I once lived on your world back in 2056. But that was a long time ago and there’s probably no records of my existence. Or, maybe, I haven’t even been born yet… …I’m still figuring out of the timelines correspond. Anyways, I was or will be, or whatever you want to call it (maybe I am?), John Pitcher, a resident at St. Jude’s Hospital for the Mentally Ill. I was a computer programmer and my parents had me admitted there because I was convinced that I had been contacted by Set, the Egyptian god of chaos, about creating a world. Well, apparently, I’m something akin to the great times a hundred grandson of over 10 000 gods, and they didn’t want me to live an ordinary, dull life (well, except for the god of normalcy, but he doesn’t count). Set gave me three years to prepare myself. This begins right at the end of those three years. [participant in the NaNoWriMo Royal Road challenge] I originally had this as part of the prologue, then I realized that it made a better synopsis. Please note: this might seem a bit clunky because I haven't done a lot of writing, and this is supposed to be a kind of prequel to another story that I plan on doing in the future. I will not be fully explaining everything but instead will be explaining things in that other story. This is mainly to help fill in the lore of the world so that people will have at least a basic idea of how things function. Regardless of that, that story won't be written for at least another year, so deal with it. Note: I am using ideas from several different authors in order to make sure that this can be a proper story. You may or may not recognize where I got them. I am not writing a Fanfiction and do not claim these as my own. I will add to a list of titles below as I find myself using those ideas. World Keeper (obviously) The Wandering Inn The Legend of Randidly Ghosthound (not yet, but eventually) A bunch of others that I haven't thought of yet
8 187The First Dragonborn
It was Aden’s dream of becoming known around the world, as one of the greatest adventurers ever known! Aden was your average 13-year-old boy who wanted to explore the world and live a life full of freedom. He dreamt of many such things and would dream of him and his best friend, a smart 13-year-old boy named Charles, as they traveled through those dreams and slay beasts beyond human imagination. That was what Aden could ever wish for, but like many other dreams, they are bound to be crushed by a certain person. Aden was still able to continue on fulfilling his dreams, but is now bound as nothing more than an entertainer and slave for the Princess of Destruction, Lilith, who destroyed Aden’s home and turned him into a Dragonborn. Permanently making him part-monster. Now for his entire life, along with his friend Charles, they are to entertain the princess and not bore her throughout their adventures… or else she’ll kill them. Author's Say: You might be wondering why the chapters were released so long ago and why I'm posting them again? All I'm going to say is, "Don't ask." I have gone through so much school, work, depression, and pain that I don't want to think about it anymore. And all of those combined didn't help with the fact that I'm also lazy. So, please, don't mind the time difference. Because I've gone through a lot of pain. PAIN, I SAY! Oh, also, chapters will come out when I believe they are ready. They can come from a few days to months on end. So keep that in mind when wondering when the next chapter is coming out. Alright, peace!
