《Fated To The Alphas》Chapter 10 - Trying
Advertisement
Looking out the window of Jonathan's car, I feel at peace but at the same time confused. I feel his eyes pierced on me even though I know they must be on the road. Three minutes in counting of this drive, I feel like I'm in a very long destination flight, like the awkwardness of this drive is amazing. I decide to change that " Jonathan are you okay?"
"I'm fine thanks Lucy how about you" he say
"I'm good too thanks"
Silence quickly creeping right back and I decide to take things in my own hands.
"So what do you do for a living?"
"I am a ceo of a tech company" he says
"Really!?" That shocks me because he looks like a business man, when I say business man, I mean someone who might be a lawyer or something else just not something to do with techs.
"Yeah, what did you think?" He asks looking all amused at my confusion
"I thought you were a lawyer or something like that" I say smiling shyly at him
"Nope, been a geek all my life so I focused more on building tech instead" he says with so much pride, not the cocky type but *the I managed it* type of pride.
Our drive consisted of us talking more about tech stuff, which isn't a problem for me cause I love tech. After some time driving we reached the hospital.
"Thanks for the ride Jonathan, I really enjoyed it" I say as he pulls over
"Its my pleasure" he says
"Would it be okay with me driving you home as well?" He asks with those puppy dog eyes that Jaylen and Jack have, though the only difference is the color.
"Yeah it's okay with me, as long as it won't give you any trouble..." I say, I don't like troubling people or being a bother.

"You would never be a bother" he says with so much truth to his word. He then flies out of his car and rushes to open my door.
"You know you don't need to do that right?" I say
"Lucy this is the way I am, and I like doing it for you so."
"Okay and thanks again for the ride" I say as I walk away. Not looking back I keep walking but come to a halt when I realize I didn't even get his number. In case I need to tell him when I'm done. I don't like making people wait for me. I turn around to find he's gone. Maybe I can just tell Jaylen to inform Jonathan.
————-–————————
Today has been busy, patients and all. I and Jaylen have barely talked today, he has been busy, like I said today has been a busy day. I sign out, change my clothes and get going. I'm so tired it's so overwhelming to even think about it. Walking through the doors of freedom, i spot a familiar face, its Jonathan leaning on his car like a complete god typing on his phone. He looks up and our eyes connect, right there i feel some kind of way, like me being overwhelmed just ran out the window.
"Hey lucy"
"Hey Jonathan.." i really wanted to tell him that he didn't have to come but seeing the smile on his face, my mamma taught me better than that!
When I finally approach the car he opens the door and guides me into his car and puts the seat belt for me. Which I never asked for, but for some reason I refrain from stopping him, like something is stopping me from reacting towards this man. When he gets into the car he fires up the engine and we drive off to the main road.

"How was your day?"
"It was okay i guess, but really tiring and yours"
"Mine was just fine, got a new client today, so that's a bonus" He says
"That's great Jonathan, I'm so happy for you" I say as I smile widely. Him being happy funny enough makes me happy.
"So Jonathan are you dating?" I really felt like I should ask just in case some other person is all over him, which really just the thought of it gets to me. Like I have no right to be Jealous, but my feelings say otherwise.
He first looks at me in a face I would say points to disbelief "no, why would you ask that?"
" just didn't want to make anyone jealous if you had a partner I mean" I say clenching my hands, which I didn't even notice I was doing.
~
We suddenly stop outside my place "Thanks for the ride Jonathan" I say unbuckling my seatbelt
"It was nothing" he says while looking directly at the road
"Would you like come in?" I ask
"No that won't be necessary"
Why would he act like we didn't just drive home together. I get out the car and he drives off which is weird but hey that might be just how he is. I'm too tired for this right now.

Black Wind, White Lotus
In this world, there are haves and have nots. The former are pureblooded humans, some of whom are capable of manipulating qi, the mysterious energy that flows through every living creature, to miraculous results that defy the laws of nature and physics. Wen Feili was one such cultivator. However, she allied with the have nots- the anthropomorphic hybrids incapable of channeling qi-and dabbled in forbidden demonic arts, seeking to change the very composition of reality. This did not end well for her, and she was consumed by her own flames. A decade later, far in the northwestern mountains, her daughter Wen Fengli is working as a lowly servant of the minor Shuangshan sect. In between sweeping the floor and avoiding bullies, she secretly trains with a wooden sword, hoping to become a warrior cultivator at some point in the future. However, since she's part-human, part-wolf, it's just a pipe dream. ....or so she bitterly thought. However, one day a mysterious amulet that belonged to her mother falls into her hands. A deranged old master, a terrible conspiracy, a mysterious past? None of that matters to tomboyish wolfgirl, who only seeks to become stronger. She embarks on a journey of adventure and self-discovery, towards the mysterious southern lands where pure demi-humans are said to live...as spectre of war once again envelops the world of man. This is a Chinese-themed fantasy story set in a fictional world. You can classify it as xianxia, if you wish, but it's a rather low fantasy variant; the heavenly realm is silent, no one reached immortality in generations, and magical artifacts of old are locked away and feared. Magical beasts and spirits have been driven to the corners of civilisation, and "ordinary" abilities such as flying or controlling swords through telekinesis are considered spectacular feats. The main plot of this book revolves around a kemonomimi girl who seeks power, no matter the cost. This story also features multiple character pov, and will not always follow the perspective of the mc- there are two major plotlines, one connected to conspiracy and war ongoing in the political background of the presented world, and the other focusing on the main character's physical and metaphorical journey. The cover image was drawn by minyaxj, per my request, on a commercial license.

"I need more speed or that damned thing might catch up to-" he said with a loud growl but before he could finish he saw a golden ring flash by only to stop at a few feet in front of him. A boy with black hair stood in front of him. Darkness enveloped his whole body, while the robes he was wearing was somewhat darker than the darkness. It was like he was staring to an abyss only to be swallowed by a void, an endless one at that. The only tinge of light came from the golden ring above his head. He looked at his face but he can't see any features that he could describe. Then his eyes wandered at the golden ring above his head. His sky-blue draconic eyes glowed with a golden hue. Looking closer, the ring was actually a crown embroided in sophisticated runes that even him a hundred thousand year old dragon cannot comprehend. "A million year old ring. It can't be that you killed-" but again, before he could finish dark ice formed in his snout gently crawling to his eyes. He retaliated by breathing his icy breath but even the absolute ice was frozen by the abyss black ice magic that was crawling through his body.
