Chapter 5- The Rush
I went to the entertainment room where Natalya and her friends would be spending the night for their little slumber party. What the hell was going through Natalya's mind when she disobeyed my orders?
She doesn't respect us! my wolf said instantly.
And that's the same reason why I had to see her to find out what the hell was going through her mind because one, my wolf was extremely pissed that our mate was in the basement, secondly he was angered by Natalya's actions from 'defying' his orders. And lastly, he was angry with me because I chose to walk away from my mate...well he was more than pissed when I just left her standing there. Not to mention the slap that I noticed on----
"Hey baby," Natalya greeted me as I entered the room, "finally you're---" she was about to say but I ignored her and went to the TV to turn it off. Then I looked at the girls.
"Out," I commanded using my full Alpha command. Some girls looked at me confused while others just looked at Nat.
"Now, leave!" I shouted at them pointing at the door. They were out the door in a matter of three seconds. I took a deep breath before turning to Nat.
"Can you explain to me...WHY THE HELL DID YOU SEND THE ROGUE TO THE BASEMENT?!" I shouted. She flinched and looked down.
"I...I....she disrespected me, Hayden," she said quietly.
I sighed, "You know I don't like when people disrespect me Natalya," I said sternly. Her eyes widen at her full name. Whenever I was talking to her, I always called her Nat or something.
"Hay...Hayden you know I didn't mean to disrespect you, but you should have---" she said but I once again cut her off.
"I don't want to hear any excuses Nat," I said then I sighed, "look, just don't act on anything rash like that until you get facts, o.k.," I said to her. She nodded and ran up to hug me. I sighed and let my arms go around her waist.

"I’m sorry, I didn't mean to make you mad...it's just the things she said to me; they got to me. I'm so sorry," she apologized.
'It's fine, just....try not to---" I was saying but a voice ran through the room.
"Hayden...Hayden!" Conner's voice rang through the room as he entered. I looked up at him.
"Hmmm?"
"I think you need to come down to the basement...now!" he shouted. I raised my eyebrows at him in confusion but I immediately let go of Nat.
"What the hell are----" I was about to ask when he cut me off using our mind link.
'It's about your mate!' he shouted in my head. My eyes widen at him. He knew? He knew that she was my mate?
'How---what---how the hell do you know she's my mate?' I asked him
'Can we talk about this some other time? She's losing too much blood!' he said then left the room, dragging me with him. Blood? What does he mean by blood? I ran ahead of him and went downstairs to the basement. When I got down, I saw all the guards holding down Tom and Lloyd. OK, I was completely and utterly confused now.
"What the hell happened?" I asked the guards. He just shrugged.
"I don't know Alpha, I just got down here for my shift and I then I came and saw all this," he said. I growled and passed him, going to Keith.
"What the hell is happening? And you better know something Keith," I said to him. From the earlier attack with my mate, he was now recuperating a broken leg, now coping with a limp as he walked.
He sighed, "OK, from what I know, Tom and Lloyd where down here as they were being ordered to watch the rogue. Those orders were directly from Natalya. I'm guessing the rogue exchanged some words to Lloyd and Tom, causing them to get angry...so angry that they went in her holding cell and....umm...I don't know, beat her or something."

My wolf was BEYOND PISSED at this moment. Before I knew what I was doing, I was fumingly going to beat the crap out of Tom and Lloyd for ever laying a finger on my mate.
That's when I felt myself being held back. I growled at whoever it was and tried to struggle free but the person...or persons now, were pulling at a harder force.
"Dude, it's not worth it," I heard Conner say as his grip on me tightened.
'Of course it f*cking is! If it were your mate, you would be angrier than me' I responded to him mentally.
"Relax, she need you to go and comfort her now, not AFTER you beat the shit out of the guys," he said and I tried to calm down.
Can you calm the f*ck down so I can go to her? I asked my wolf.
Calm down?! They tried to kill the love of my life and you expect me to f*cking CALM DOWN?! My wolf responded
You don't even know her and yet you say you're in love with her...
Of course I would be in love with her. What makes you...? You know what just go to her because I’m not gonna argue with you right now, my wolf stated. Once I was fully calm, I tugged on my arms to make them let go of me.
Conner was standing there with a knowing smirk on his face while Jonah was standing there confused.
"What the hell was that about guys?" Jonah asked. Conner shook his head and put his arm on his shoulder.
"Trust me, you don't want to know. It’s all waaaaayyyyy to confusing for your pebble sized brain to handle," Conner said laughing at his own joke. I rolled my eyes then when I saw our pack nurse; Karen rushed past us, my face turned back serious.
"Where the hell is she?" I asked Conner.
"She's still in her cell. They're gonna treat her from there," he said. I stared at him in confusion as I walked forward towards the cell.
"Why are they gonna treat her from there? Why not just take her to the medical room?" I asked.
"Firstly, if they brought her up, she would lose more blood, causing more damage to her internal organs which were slightly damaged; and secondly, they didn't want to make their 'Almighty Alpha' angry," he stated. I growled at him slightly but her chuckled and chose to ignore me. My wolf was now angry at him... well more like jealous. Why???
1. Because he chose to ignore me and
2. Because he knew more information about my mat--- the rogue than us.
Stop denying her, my wolf scolded me.
That's the only way. She can never become Alpha Female, I replied to him. Never

Zara's POV
I tried to pull away again but the person groaned and tightened his grip on me. I winced loudly and held on to his hands. I felt a burning pain in my lower abdomen and believe me, it hurt like hell.
"Shit, are you o.k.?" I heard a husky voice from behind me. Right then I knew who it was. The Alpha. The guy who rejected me.
Indirectly, my wolf corrected me, you don't know if that's what he meant by it.
Well it's quite obvious, I said to her. She scoffed but ignored me...maybe she knew I was right, but she let it go for now.
"Are you alright? Did I hurt you?" he asked me.
"Oh I'm just quite peachy, how about you," I said sarcastically. He sighed.
"I....I.... I just didn't want you to get hurt," he said.
"You already hurt me," I said to him as I tried to break free. There was nothing more that he could do to me. He already hurt me... After all, he rejected me.

Living In The System - A LitRPG with more story, less text boxes
In the ancient echoes upon it’s great boughs, Yggdrasil holds all the knowledge in existence. Indeed, all of creation swings from its immense branches and leaves. The howls that creep through its cavernous spaces were not caused by the wind. No wind could be powerful enough to shake The Tree, yet it rocked. A great battle raged in its dew drops and amongst its roots. A War for control. For knowledge is power, and power is everything. A furtive glance over her shoulder told the hurried goddess that she was not being followed. That was good. What she had just done would be a great risk. Placing a new thread on a world so soon to be destroyed was costly. She would be greatly diminished, but her work was not done yet. In the myriad of infinite worlds, there lies Genia. A starter world, of very little importance. It is where she will find her champion. Killian never got the chance to see the world. Yet he is given opportunity. Opportunity not just to see the world, but to change it... to change all of creation. There are many stories to tell upon the Tree of Yggdrasil, where all of creation hangs from its branches. The power of destiny fuels all, but destiny is fickle. He can only pray that things will go well. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
8 200The Love Hero Chronicles
Lets keep this simple shall we? Single witty and sarcastic man is now trapped in an alternate Earth based off a cringy eroge game. Worse yet he's stuck there as a supporting character with a horrendous backstory. Seeking way home or at least trying not to bite the dust as many non-protagonist male characters do. Will his real world thinking connect well to the tropey and cliché world of a harem game? Probably not.
8 62A Titan's Crusade
Erik Thayne spent most of his life being brutally ridiculed and tormented for his weight and physical appearance, among other things. A social pariah and diagnosed with an eating disorder no one has an explanation or treatment for, Erik spent years trying to overcome his issues with his personal image and escape the ridicule and vicious torment of his peers. After years of dedicated effort, and a fresh start in a town away from his childhood and adolescent tormentors, he had finally begun to truly realize what he'd been striving for all along. Only, fate apparently has other plans because in the blink of an eye, Erik found himself snatched from Earth and taken to another universe, another world, where he is offered the chance to be more than he'd ever imagined. Now, he has to fight to restore the Balance between Chaos and Order on a world of swords and magic, in a universe governed by the System's laws, which resemble those of RPGs from Earth. Erik learned to embrace the things about himself that others taught him to hate, using them to reforge his physical identity into something more removed from his old self-loathing. But can he learn to embrace the darkest parts of his mind just as he did the reviled aspects of his body and become who he needs to be to succeed in the task set before him? It might just prove easier to stalk in the dark as a monster than to walk in the light as a man... *This is my first time publishing anything I've written to a public audience. Due to formatting issues, I forwent traditional stat-screens for something a little less problematic, delineating stat screens by separating them from regular text with horizontal lines in a lighter-grey coloration. Let me know if you like them or not. Criticism is entirely welcome, but please don't hate on my work after only reading 1 chapter. This is a writing project I intend to complete but I have committment problems so we'll see how long this goes on. Also, fair warning, as the description implies, the main protagonist is intended to be someone who has been treated cruelly, developed antisocial tendencies, and ultimately has to question his own humanity--or lack thereof. This story is not intended to be brutally dark but I will definitely be trying to follow a darker theme. It is intended to be violent and some scenes later in the story might be...alarming. There will likely also be some light, non-graphic (think more implied with crude jokes and conversation than actual details, there will be no full-blown sex scenes)relationship scenes planned later and if you're opposed to either a bisexual or gay main character, stay away. I haven't yet decided which way he's going to swing but the odds on him being straight are relatively miniscule, and I've always wanted to write a story about a gay man who basically looks like a lumberjack because who doesn't like giving conventional stereo-types the middle finger? This will NOT be a harem story, and I have no intention to focus on romance over action--it's a consequence of character development where I'm concerned, not the be-all-end-all of the story. The cover-art does not, in any way, belong to me. It was an image titled the Druid King (by duskanmarkovic according to the file name) which I found on Google Images. Until I can get something commissioned, this is the best stand-in image I could find.
8 106The Chains of Time
The inhabitants of Damruel have always try to change the world to their liking. Each and every effort, every decision, no matter succeed or fail left behind a chain. A chain that surrounds them, their family, their descendants and Damruel itself. Years past, and every individual struggles on with their life carrying these chains, each has different weight and story behind. While trying to break free from the past, they realize that they have created even more chains on themselves, links after links, never ending. The chains of time never end.
8 191The Troll of Oium: A Norse Saga
The lands of Midgard have grown cold and choked with ice as freezing mist covers all. Only a sacrifice can bring the warmth of summer, one from each tribe of Germa in their turn until The Vargr Tribe's treachery forces all into war. But in the mitts of battle, something rages beneath a Jarl's skin turning his skin gray, eyes red, and bringing forth a craving for flesh. All the while Odin guides the future, preparing for the visions plaguing him for a millennium. A black-furred wolf, large like a mammoth, and a necromancer with green flames burning in his eyes would come for him. The battle's name would be Ragnarök and will end the world unless he claims victory by any means necessary.
8 228The Novel's Unifier
Demons and humans are meant to fight each other, until one side perishes completely. Everyone thought that quote was correct, until one day, where a child of human and demon blood was made. His life was hell. While growing up, he belonged on neither side of humans or demons. But, along with his friends, he saved the world. That was just a story Danny read, once, a long time ago. So why the hell is he in it!? Slow updates, if I even update it at all.
