《The Hybrid》2. Run
Advertisement
The bloody smile that the vampire gave me will haunt me for the rest of time.
"Run, Al!" were the alpha's last words before he was tackled to the ground.
So I ran like a coward.
I ran through the forest as the alpha's screams rang in my ears.
"Hello there." A voice from one of the monsters shouted to me.
Those words propelled my legs to run even faster. I have always been faster than the other wolves, but I was no match for a vampire. Biologically speaking, vampires are faster than any creature. They are the natural predators of werewolves.
I pass the border of my pack, the mud squishing between my toes as I begin to breathe heavily. That's right, I forgot my shoes.
Don't let it distract you. Keep running, I think to myself reassuringly.
Whoosh. The sound of wind alerts me that they are catching up faster than I was expecting.
My heart races as I think of what is going to happen when I finally run out of breath. My heart aches at the thought of leaving Addison. Everything in that pack was now up in flames. My entire life was burning. My family, my friends.
A tear drags down my face and I quickly swipe it away. As I look back up to see where I was going, I run directly into a body. It is like when someone slams into a pole in the cartoons. The man didn't move an inch, he just caught me from sliding down to the ground.
I look up to see that he might be the most beautiful creature I have ever seen. He has dark messy hair and pale white skin. He is skinny, but muscular at the same time. His eyes are a kaleidoscope green as his thick eyebrows furrow at the sight of me.
"Slow down there, Love" he chuckles as I freeze in place. His accent is foreign as it fills my ears. My head spins from the impact as I hear the other vampires catch up to me. I stand to my own feet and back away from the man.
I turn around to see that he and I are surrounded by seven devilish fanged creatures.
"She's fast." One says breathing heavily. "For a wolf."
"Well, nice knowing you," Another said, lunging at me. I shrivel in place and squeeze my eyes shut.

"Wait." The man says casually as he raises a hand in the air. The vampire ceases his movements only inches away from me.
"You're not just werewolf are you?" He inquires, looking me over.
I swallow, trembling under his gaze.
"Answer me, Little wolf. This could save your life." He sounds impatient.
"What is it to you?" I spit, raising my posture to hide my fear.
He smirks, placing both hands behind his back. He approaches me with two steps and then lends in closer.
"One of my men said you were fast for a wolf. Is that true?" He tilts his head to the side.
"Definitely." The man nods, still trying to catch his breath.
"And for someone your height, even with the speed of a canine, you should not have caused my man to lose his air." He narrows his eyes. "You are too frail to be of a noble wolf bloodline."
I suck in a shallow breath. What does he want from me?
"What are you then?" He asks again. I look down at the ground and study my bare feet. "Hm?"
I raise my chin, my lip curling, "Maybe your man is just slow for a vampire." I narrow my eyes in return.
"Maybe." He nods, stepping back, "Grab her and let's go." He waves his hand, turning his back to me.
The vampires surround me, pinning my arms behind my back. One of them roughly kicks me in the back of the leg so I fall to my knees.
I bear my fangs and hiss menacing growl.
A devilish cheshire smile covers the man's features as he turns back.
"Now look at those teeth." He claps his hands, bending down to my level. He grabs my chin and forces my eyes to look at him.
"My dad was a vampire..." I say softly. I have no move left to make. Maybe if he knows that I am like him, he will spare my life.
"A hybrid." He purrs out, brushing a piece of my hair out of my face. "I want you to be mine." He whispers, sending chills down my body.
My heart feels as if it is going to jump out of my chest and run away. My wolf growls inside me, warning me of this man. He is obviously a bloodsucker like his hideous companions.

"I belong to no one" I grow and shove myself away from the men holding me.
His face drops, his features going emotionless as if I have just slapped him in the face.
"She's a feisty little wolf isn't she, Liam." One laughed.
His name is Liam. He seemed stronger than the other Vampires and he smelled of good, expensive cologne. Maybe he is their leader.
Liam chuckled. "Indeed she is. We can fix that though." He takes another step towards me and I take one back. Another step and I go to take a step back but realize there is a tree behind me. He takes another step which puts him only inches away from me. My heart throbs.
"Now are you going to come with me nicely or am I going to have to drag you with me?" He asks softly. His voice is almost soothing. Something about him makes me want to disobey every instinct I have and go with him. But werewolves and vampires don't mix.
"Go to hell." I push against him. He smirks, accepting the challenge.
"Very well then, looks like I'm going to have to drag you. This will be fun." His velvety voice rings in my ears.
"I said. I'm not going anywhere." My wolf grows angry at his stubbornness and I can feel her trying to claw her way out of me.
"Oh did I make the Little Wolf angry?" He looks at me evilly. He sounds as if this was some twisted game to him. He is enjoying this.
I am ready to pounce on him and sink my teeth into his face. I swing my arm to punch him but he blocks it swiftly and throws me to the ground.
I drag myself to my feet, my eyes flashing an electric blue as I boil in anger from this man.
"Come on then!" He yells into the chilled air. "Where's your wolf, huh?" He circles around me. His provoking methods are annoying.
That was it. I jumped to my feet and punched him in the side. There was hardly an effect.
"Was that supposed to hurt?" He smirked as if this was a game to him.
I release a final growl as my wolf tears its way through. If he wants to meet my wolf, he can go right ahead. Snowy white hair erupts from my skin and my bones crack into place. My fangs extend and I stand on all fours as my transformation is complete.
Liam's eyes bulge as he sees my true form. He then smiles his wicked smile and gets ready to fight.
I lunge for the bastard, knocking him to the ground. Satisfaction courses through my veins as I finally make a dent in this wall of a man.
His other minions rush towards me all attacking me at once. I snap my jaw, sinking my teeth into the arm of one of the vampires. He screeches in pain and rips his arm away. I spit the flesh and get tackled to the ground.
A large body pins down my figure as my head hits the ground. I whip my head around to take another snap at my captor, but he beats me to it. Sharp teeth sink into my fur causing my wolf to howl in agony.
I kick my legs, scratching and biting onto anything within my reach, but the vampires tower over me.
They scratched me and a few bit chunks of my fur out. My fur had gone from a snowy white, to a bloody reddish color.
I finally stop fighting all of the vampires as my energy quickly depletes. So much blood. I laid down. Maybe just a minute of rest.
Liam finally enters my view, his hands behind his back as his face spreads with a menacing smile.
"What's wrong little wolf? No more energy?" He smirks. Then his head snaps to the side and his eyebrows furrow. There is a rustling out of my view.
I hear fighting behind me. Liam is tackled to the ground by a large dark figure. A jet black wolf with glowing red eyes. He was beautiful with his gleaming coat and strong legs.
The black wolf punches on the vampires around Liam, sinking his fangs into them.
"We shall meet again." Liam nods towards me before vanishing into the darkness.
I just laid there on the cold ground. The black wolf approached me finally, his glowing eyes peering into mine. His scent fills my nose and I immediately feel comfort.
That is, until everything went black.

How to raise a Hive Queen
This story is about a newborn Hive Queen, which gets raised in an unexpected environment. The first part of the story will focus on her development and the challenges that come with it. Eventually she will start to produce her own swarm of hive creatures. The species of the Hive Queen is called the Sylv and they are a insectoid species with an hive mind. The Sylv can evolve themselves through extracting traits from other non Sylv creatures. This is limited to modify the basic set of creatures the Sylv can produce, they are not able to create completely new creatures. In this regard they are more like ants, who have workers, soldiers and queen ants. The Sylv live underground in so called hive complexes and use living structures in them to produce more of their kind. The Hive Queen is the leader of a Sylv Hive and responsible for evolving the swarm. This novel takes place in a fantasy setting and was inspired by other hive species like the Zerg from "Starcraft" made by Blizzard Entertainment, the Arachnea from "Her majesty's swarm" published on j-novel club, and the Vex from "I don't want to be the Hive Queen" by ValetheHowl. I really enjoy stories with an organic hive mind species and want to contribute myself. The focus and theme of this story will change as the Hive Queen matures and defines the goals she wants to achieve. If you like this story also check out my other fiction "To former Glory" here on Royal Road :D

Helena's Plane
Paul, a bored young man, wakes up in a white room. A young woman tells him he has died, that she is some kind of god who likes videogames and he will be reborn in an RPG-esque world so she and her fellow god-friends can watch him for entertainment.Unfortunately, the goddess forgot to give Paul most of the obligatory, obvious cheat-abilities to make him rush to power in easy mode. Paul embraces his new life full of clichés, perverts, magic, loot and action. And animal girls.18+ !CONTAINS GRAPHIC VIOLENCE AND SEXUAL CONTENT! (Actual sex is still hard to find, but you will get it. Eventually. Sporadically.) =================Author's note:So, this is my very first novel. It will be poorly written, has a huge info-dump disguised as a first chapter (to be rewritten. At some point in the future. I guess.), and may or may not offend everyone for different reasons. Perhaps you will just find it boring, which would be even worse. The description turned out a bit comedic, but the story isn't overly so.I have a rough idea of where this will be going, but expect some bumps on the road, as well as logic holes, flat characters and a lot of borderline copyright infringements from all the ideas I got reading other works. And did I mention I'm not a native speaker? No? Well, expect some embarrassing grammar and wording choices.The main character is a more or less normal guy, without high morals, martial arts skills or even a desirable goal in life. There is mature content, in terms of violence and sexual content. It won't become a full-blown erotic novel, and it may or may not be your cup of tea when it comes to the type of content.Critics welcome.
