《My Rejected Mate》17
Advertisement
-Elliot's POV-
It's been a month, a month since the battle and Cassie hasn't woken up. There was a lot of wolves bane in her body. The doctors were surprised she even survived, it was a deadly amount. They said she was in a coma, and it was good way for her to heal herself. But it was taking forever, almost as if she was dead. I know she's not dead, I know her conscious is still there. I even tried to mind link her hoping someway she would respond. It was stupid but I just had to try it out for my own sanity.
My wolf is definitely not taking it well either, he's been ignoring me. Understandable, it' this other half that's hurt and they almost died. To me everything is just slowly falling apart and I'm on the verge of losing it. My mood became more unstable, I've been pissed off a lot. I don't even let people mention Cassie or I'll literally explode. I tried doing more paper work or even focus on school to get my mind off of her. It's not working at all, I've just been suffering. Hell I can't even sleep properly because I'm worried. I'm worried if I sleep she would just die and I'll loser forever.
Everything in the pack was getting back to normal, father came back to assist what to do with Nolan's renaming pack members. Majority we let go, though some we did have to execute or even lock up. Veronica and Jenny will have to spend the rest of their days in the pack cell or just forced labor. Their parents begged not to kill them, so we decided to go with that option. Ace on the other hand, he was killed.
I walked out of my office to my room to get ready for school. I've been spending more time at the pack house than my own home. I went to my room that was here, so I can get ready for school. I got dressed quickly and headed to the main floor of the pack house.
Suddenly I felt a pair of small arms wrap around my torso. I looked down to see David there smiling up at me. Mrs. Dawson told me Cassie saved him from the battle and took him under her wing. When I heard that he was Nolan's little brother I was hesitant on letting him stay here, but I trust Cassie so I let him stay. Especially after hearing how Nolan killed this own parents, I couldn't abandon the kid.

David took a liking to me for some reason, he said in own words I have Cassie's scent on me so he feels safe and protected. When I'm free I would try to spend time with him so he won't be lonely. A lot of the pack members kids didn't want to get close to him for his background. He's outcasted here, to which I feel bad. I need to have a meeting about this situation too.
"What's up big head." I ruffled his hair and he smiled up at me.
"My head is not big! Yours is big!" He scoffed and then proceeded to punch my arm with his tiny little first.
"Well to me it is." I smiled down at him, his eyes twinkled like stars.
"You finally smiled!" David cried out. Kids sometimes can brighten up your mood.
"Let's get some food." I said and started to drag him along with me to the kitchen.
We made it to them kitchen and I went to the cabinet to grab some cereal. I poured him a bowl and myself. We sat down on the table and ate. My mom walked in with a basket of laundry and her eyes landed on us.
"He looks like your son Elliot." My mom said.
"Talking about kids already mom?" I said as I put a mouthful of cereal in my mouth.
"Yes I can't wait to see my grandkids! Well in the future, focus on your education first then kids later." She said firmly. I nodded my head and let out a little laugh.
I looked at the time and saw I had to leave for school. I bid my goodbyes to David and my mom. I grabbed all my belongings and headed out the door. I went to my car and made my journey to the school. I drove really slow since I was dreading to even go there. Everyone was weary of me there, they were scared if they just speak to me I would explode. Which I won't but I'll admit my stoic look has worsen over this month.
Maybe I should smile more?

I walked down the gloomy halls and the nurses would bow when I pass them. I stopped in front of room 303 and opened it. I walked in and headed straight towards where Cassie laid. Her skin color was back she wasn't deadly pale anymore. The doctors said she should be waking up soon, after doing an evaluation she was now perfectly heal. I pulled a chair up next to her and grabbed her hand. It was warm and I brought her hand up to my face.

"I've said this over a thousand times, but we still need to have our long awaited discussion about how reckless you are." I spoke. As per usual no response, I sighed out and laid my head on the bed. My fingers played with her hand and I just stared at the heart monitor.
When are you going to wake up.
-David's POV-
I was sitting in front of Cassie, I watched as her chest moved up and down. I stood up and put my finger under her nose to feel her breathing. A smile crept up to my lips and I sat back down on the chair.
"Cassie when are you going to wake up? You said were going to protect me and I'm bored! I want to play with you, like hide and seek!" I grumbled. My legs were swinging off the chair and there was no response.
"You need to wake up because Elliot misses you! Your family does too! They're really sad and so am I!" I spoke to her again.
"Do you want help with that?" A shiver ran down my back and I looked around. There was no one else in the room besides Cassie. I titled my head to the side and shook my head.
"Are you ignoring me?"
"God?" I asked confused. A chuckle filled my head and I started to freak out. Oh my god I'm talking to god right now!
"No it's not god. I'm pretty sure you have heard about me though. You can't see me yet but I can see you." A girl spoke.
"Then who are you?" I questioned.
"Close your eye's and you will see."
I closed my eyes and a blinding light appeared. I covered my eyes with my arms and I felt cold all of a sudden. A flowery smell filled my nose, it was almost comforting.
"Is this heaven?" I asked confused. The girl giggled and I felt a hand touch the top of my head.
The light vanished all of a sudden and I opened my eyes. A beautiful women stood in front of me with a caring smile. Long shiny white hair that fell over her shoulders, eye's that were a deep golden color.
"Who are you?" I said looking her with awe.
"I'm the Moon Goddess" She answered with a smile.
"You're lying! There's no way! This must be a prank!" I laughed out and I felt her smack the top of my head.
"Ow why did you do that!" I cried out.
"How are you disrespect me like that!" She said sternly.
"Ok, prove that you're the Moon Goddess!" I said crossing my arm.
The lady rolled her eyes and then her eyes turned completely white. Trails of smoke started to surround me engulfing me. The lady disappeared and all I heard was loud growling above me. Once the smoke did clear, I was met with shiny silver fur. I looked up and saw a humongous wolf towering over me. No not like an Alpha wolf but like a 4 meter big wold with 3 tails. I fell to the ground and started scooting back fearing for my life.
"Ok ok I believe you!" I screamed. She bowed her head and turned back to her human self.
"Well my name is Nyx." She said as if she didn't just turn into a gigantic wolf.
"I-I'm David." I stuttered out. Nyx grabbed my hadn't pulling me up from the ground, and that motherly smiled appeared on her lips once again.
"You must be wondering why I'm here."
"Very" I said.
"Being the supreme being I am, I decided to grant your wish." Nyx picked me up and held me in her arms.
"Your going to help Cassie!" I asked excitedly.
"Yes...I think after all the hardships she went through this is what I could at least do." Nyx spoke softly. I nodded my head and wrapped my arms around her neck giving her a tight hug.
"Than you so much!" I pulled back and Nyx nodded her head happily.
"I have to go now so I can help Cassie, just wait. So you later." Nyx poked my forehead and the illuminating white light filled my vision once again.
When it cleared I was back in the hospital room by Cassie's side. I gave Cassie a kiss on her cheek before leaving the room. There was a little pep in my step as I went down the halls of the hospital. I can't wait to see Cassie awake again!
Let's keep it a surprise from Elliot!

NOVA INTERIT.US
It's 2063, and the town along with much of the nation are in disarray. The decay started years before the Great Event. Our town still had hope thanks to the five families, who'd created a blockchain based water distribution system for the locals, a valuable secret hidden from the Global Water Commission and their network of mercenaries. Earlier in the mid-2040's, right after the state secessions of Idaho, Montana, and Texas, the Global Council of Water Commissioners made their deals and moved into towns throughout the country. They called it "the integration." The Commission and their contractors integrated with municipal water departments, using their organized network to invade like parasites on local services. It all coincided with the 29th Amendment to the United States Constitution, later referred to as the Regional Trident Plan. Nova is a story about survival, power structures, the turning of relationships, and the networking between people and the systems to which they belong. It’s about A.I. blockchain possibility, and its potential for human betterment versus our detriment. It’s about the question of whether or not we need to be saved from ourselves, and by who or what? The Great Event at the end of the first chapter might just be what actually saves us. The epilogue will take place in 2517. This scene is fully sketched and the full arc of the novel is set. I expect to finish Nova Interitus by summer of 2023. This is realist hard-sci-fi dystopian fiction. I hope you find Nova to be a challenging and consuming story. This is not something I planned to write. It all came to me in a dream and I haven't been able to stop writing it. This Royal Road posting is basically a beta test with chapters and drafts to get some feedback and see if there's any readership for this narrative. For the full experience read Nova on Substack. I will be narrating a podcast version later this year there. https://novainteritus.substack.com/

Papercuts to Fell Immortals
Qing Shen is a girl from the counrtyside, forced into a role she never wanted by a Young Master who's infamy is spread throughout the land. As a Cultivator in the path to immortality, Qing Shen has to deal with her own problems as well as the mysteries surrounding her Young Master. Things, however, are not as they seem, and the young girl finds that sometimes the truth is more unbelievable than the lies we often follow. . . . If you want a less hidden-meaning summary: This story is about the struggles of one girl as she tries to become an Immortal. There won't be any meaningful romance, but there will be a plot that spans most of the story, and violence. Oh the violence! I'm not going to say that my ideas are 100% original (because hoo boy are there a lot of Wuxia), but hopefully I can write something entertaining. Guaranteed things: 1. Cliche events with a twist (I mean, it's literally in the description) 2. Important Characters will have backstories and motivations that will hopefully make them not one-dimensional (honestly, that's just normal stuff...) 3. Untrustworthy characters (everyone in the story lies, even me, so don't trust everything you read... but at the same time, trust everything you read) 4. Goodish grammar (not gonna say mine's the best, but it's readable in most cases) 5. Plot! (Everywhere!) 6. worldbuilding? (Should be there somewhere, but I probably won't do blatant info dumps... probably) 7. Character development? (Its there... at some point...) 8. The story gets dark at some points (if you don't like characters dying, then this might not be your cup of tea) 9. A strong main character? (She'll be strong, yes. However, her enemies are also strong. If everyone is strong, then is she no longer strong? My brain hurts) 10. Wow, this list is going on for awhile... uh, Believable and reasonable Action? (I mean, I'm writing for mainly my fun, so if I want a fight scene, then I might craft a scenario to explain it... or I might suddenly throw in a Dragon and call it a day) This story also goes by the same name over on Webnovel.com, but I'm going to be updating it here because, well I want to. They are both by me, and created by me. If there's anything that seems like a copy of another work, then that's just the genre being saturated by everything under the sun.

The Animo Saga
Before history was well-recorded in the world of Ulakam, primordial animal spirits adopted humans, provided protection and developed deep spiritual connections with them. Millennia later, humans now host animal spirits and are split into tribes named for the species they host. Ulakam is slowly being consumed by a decades-long war pitting the main tribes against the smaller tribes and a group of bandits calling themselves "the resistance". Callida Animo was born into this world. Coming from a mixed family of generational soldiers, Callida joined the family business at a young age. In her words, she was practically bred, born, and raised to be a soldier. And she's good at what she does... which inevitably attracts attention that makes her unambitious self extremely uncomfortable. Love, loss, influence and growth. This is her story. Written episodically, this story focuses on relationships and character growth through a series of mini-arcs that connect to make a greater whole. (Honestly, the story would lend itself well to a TV series.) "Episodes" range from 3-7 chapters (at least so far), and average about 4 or 5 chapters. Author's note: I'm always thrilled to receive comments, follows, ratings/reviews, messages.... All forms of feedback are welcome and encouraged. However, I have no interest in begging readers for more engagement to get better visibility. I tried that with my last story and found the game soul-sucking. So! This constitutes my only self-promotion request. If you are reading this story, let me know what you think! I love engaging with my readers. We'll see if growing the readership organically is even possible. Thank you! 😘 Release schedule: Weekly on Wednesday afternoons
