《Zyon: The Alpha Of The North》Chapter Twenty-Six
Advertisement
I've been in this room for about a day now and I'm quite literally going insane. I don't know how Violet has been able to survive isolation for five days. There's nothing to do but sit here with my thoughts.
Zyon hasn't come here at all. Not that I mind, after what he did to me. I need my distance from him. It's hard to believe that all of this has gone down after a week of him finding out he is my mate. I realize now why his pack is known for its torture methods. Even isolation, in its simplest form is torture.
The sun is streaming in from the little window. Zyon said I'd be in isolation for two days, so I am assuming that he'd let me out tonight.
I don't know how exactly I feel about him. Two nights ago, I was considering giving him a chance, but at this point, I want nothing to do with him and how he treated me. He left me unable to walk for half a day and I was angry that he was able to do that to me without my being able to fight back. But I was also more than ever a little scared of him. There were conversations that we hadn't even had yet. How would he react to those revelations? Would my life always be him blowing up over differences in opinions?
I hear my door being unlocked, but I stay on the floor hugging my knees closer to my chest. I smell the food before I see it. A trolley of different assortments of food is pulled into the room by a woman in a grey uniform. Behind her, Zyon strolls into the room. His eyes land on me, but I still don't move from the floor.

The anxiety in my stomach begins to build, as I hear him tell the woman:
He crouches down next to me, and tucks a stray piece of hair behind my ear.
I resist the urge to spit in his face, but I comply nonetheless. I tell myself it's because I'm quite hungry and not because I'm a little afraid of him. From the corner of my eye, I see a smile take over his face. Him thinking he's been successful in turning me into a submissive, compliant mate for him. I push down the anger that bubbles in my stomach.
I need to stay calm. Getting angry is not going to get me out of this situation. If I was ever going to truly, get away from him, I was going to have to convince him to take another. I'm sure that Aly Ross would be more than happy to comply.
We eat our food in silence, with him glancing up at me every once in a while. I keep my gaze trained on my plate, and do not bother looking up. Once, we are finished, Zyon knocks on the door to the room twice. The door is opened, and the woman walks in to remove the trolley and dishes. I assume that Zyon is going to leave with her, but he stays behind, and the room door is locked once more. I turn away from him and look out the room window.
He walks towards me, places his hands on my arms and then whispers into my ear,
The anger in me begins to bubble up again. I shove his hands off my arms but keep my back to him. He just places his hands back on my waist and whispers again,
That's when my anger overtakes me. I turn around swiftly, and throw my fist towards his face, which he catches easily before it hits him. He says, with a stupid smug smile on his face.

I grit out, with clenched teeth.
I say, quietly. I know what questions he wants to ask. I just don't want to answer them.
He says. His intent is clear on his face. He would make me answer everything, in order to satiate his curiosity. Perhaps, because I was his fated mate, I needed to answer all these questions. It was probably the only thing I owed him. But I was in no mood to answer his questions after what he did to me.
He seats himself comfortably on the bed, while I stand near the wall, the window behind me.
My eyes go a little wide and my breathing slows. I did not expect that he would catch onto that one. He continues, "
I run my hand through my hair. There's no harm in telling him. I don't even know why I lied the first-time round about this.
His jaw tightens and his eyes harden. I know I've struck a nerve and I'm smiling to myself on the inside because I've managed to shake his composure.
He scoffs, and then says,
And just like that, he's won again, because this time, my jaw hardens. He continues.
He questions.
I snap my mouth shut. Explaining what my position was meant an unravelling of my entire life story, the moon Goddesses' curse and all the events that led up to where I was today.
After a couple seconds of silence, he says,
I shrug my shoulders as I say,
He moves from his position on the bed and takes a couple of steps towards me.
He couldn't catch me in a lie there, because it was true. When I repressed my scent, I didn't want a mate. I wanted a life of my own.
There's a couple minutes of silence in the room, and then he asks,
I feel shivers go up my spine. I look away from him, swallow, and look back at him. Then I slowly say,
He rubs his hand over his stubble.
I hear him let out a sigh.
I don't respond to him. I feel him reach out and grab my hand, then I'm pulled to him roughly.
My throat goes dry, but I remain silent. I think this just adds to his frustration, because he interlaces his fingers through my hair and pulls back, my eyes interlocking with his.
His eyes harden. He scoffs.
He heads over to the door and knocks twice. The door is unlocked. An evil smile overtakes his face that causes me to shudder.
I know he isn't letting me off for the sake of it. He has something planned, and it leaves me shivering in anticipation.

8 639Shift (Ben 10+DCU Fanfiction)
Omnitrix+ DCU, what's not to like? The main character will not be Ben Tennyson, rather someone from our world who gains the Omnitrix Hello! This fanfiction Shift is what I wanted to do for an homage to what I thought were underrated pieces of media, Ben 10 and some DCU characters. However, I would be remiss if I didn’t add context to two of the major works that inspired Shift, Dial, and A Practical Guide to Evil. Dial is another ben 10 fanfiction, however that story takes place in the MCU, and with an adult that is already a grown-up at the beginning of the story. Dial, by my own accounts, is more superficially Like shift, even though the Omnitrix is a central device in both. My protagonist starts out around 18 years old, so is less serious and can build relationships with some of the junior justice league members, and then later on in the story meet the Justice League officially. The tone will be more light-hearted at the beginning of the story as teenagers are known to use sarcasm and jokes at each other’s expense. Furthermore, in Dial, the protagonist has a well-developed knowledge of the MCU which he uses to have knowledge on events and characters, that the character in Shift will not have. While the MC will have some knowledge of people's abilities, lesser-known characters and people's real identities will be not included as much, but the MC of Shift will have some knowledge. APGTE's influence is deeper than Dials'. The epigraphs at the beginning of every chapter are an example of that, a place for light-hearted jokes and worldbuilding that's not pure exposition, but I also want to incorporate narrative stories to Shift (heroes win more than lose, providence, etc) on a lighthearted scale. While the heroes of Shift will have to work to win against villains, the MC of Shift will be allowed limited precognition, through narratives tropes and archetypes as a trade-off of less knowledge of the DCU. For example, a villain a hero faces might monologue, but the MC will not instinctively know how to counter every villain they encounter. I also wanted to bring in more realism than usual superhero stories, ie: the MC cannot just walk and have a meeting with Batman or Superman, he would have to “work his way up” in terms of credibility and whatnot. The Aliens that show up in Shift I tried to make different than the ones in Dial, just to share the love for lesser-known characters. And to make it fairer for the villains of the DCU, the main character will not wantonly use if gain at all an Alien X or a ben 10 form of Kryptonians, just so the characters have to work a little bit for victory. I urge anyone reading to consider checking out both APGTE and Dial as they are both amazing works, and I hope you enjoy them. The beginning of how the MC enters the DCU will not be as important as him actually existing in that universe, so that is why a ton of time is not spent on that part of the story. Chapters will be around 2.5 thousand words and come out around every weekday.
8 102Another World Trucker
I must be cursed. All I've ever wanted to do in my life is hit the open road and drive to my heart's content. But life seems to have other plans for me. After dying while on delivery in my semi I wake up to find myself in another world, with my truck. I've always wanted to be the driver, but at this point, I'm just in the passenger seat while whatever forces control these worlds drive me along. Hopefully, this world won't end as bad as the last one. In another world with my truck! Another fairly standard isekai, but one that's hopefully engaging enough to keep everyone around. Also, way too many references to other isekai's will be included. My first time ever writing a story so feedback is greatly appreciated.

8 80Conquest Of Mortem
*NOTE* This novel is a war of attrition. To say anything less is a disservice to its demand. While comparable to other such works as Ulysses or Moby Dick, each sentence in Conquest is an enemy to be tackled. Not in the ways of difficulty but in absurd density that wishes nothing more than to destroy what patience you may have. Do not tackle chapters as you would ordinary chapters in an ordinary book. Tackle each chapter as a book unto itself. A foe to be vanquished, a period of life to leave behind. Seek to be master of this work. Seek to overcome. For in its design is the willpower, and the perseverance, and the strength of someone who sought meaning in struggle. As I discovered these in times of ultimate desperation, so I hope for you to discover these things. This novel is a love letter to your trials. May you overcome them. May you master them. May you become conquerer.- SeedSagaA literary epic for logophiles, philosophers, and poets alike. A journey into zeitgeist, the impact of media on culture, and the endurance of morality against an onslaught of hatred. These vague descriptions do little to compact Conquest's density into a bite-size summary. They do however relate the basest themes found within. A plot, if such can be surmised, is strung thinly across multiple perspectives, weaving together these concepts into a seemingly distorted tapestry of indecipherable events. Inspired by early 20th century modernism, Conquest will challenge the reader, and provide critique on the medium upon which all great stories are derived. Further interpretation is up to you now; an explorer among a sea of words. Venture on and discover what lies ahead, in...CONQUEST OF MORTEM
