《Hunting His Prey》Chapter 18
Advertisement
I couldn't help myself, and if she's distracted enough not to get angry at my next words, I'll do what I can to defuse the situation. "Now, you two go into that spare room. Go and talk, then I need you to try and sleep. While I talk to my boys and make a phone call." Her once dilated eyes are filled with rage, as they change to a gorgeous yellow color.
I know she thinks her wolf isn't there anymore, or that she's broken in some way. Really, what she hasn't realized is she hasn't been around her kind in a couple years. Now that she is in the room filled with a she wolf, and outcast male wolves she's coming to the forefront more. I have seen her three times so far tonight.
I cannot wait to see her in full wolf form. It'll be glorious. "Who are you calling exactly?" She crosses her arms over her chest. Trying to come off as intimidating. Little does she know, all she's done is make her beautiful, and perky breasts stand out that much more. Licking my lips, I have to look away from her or I may take her here in front of everyone.
The thought has crossed my mind more than once so far. "Your father." I could beat around the bush and lie to her about it. However, judging by the look held in her eyes, she already knew who I was calling. Suddenly, I get a whiff of fear, as I hear her hyperventilating behind me. "I can't," She is scratching at her neck.
I can see Claudette trying to hold her hands down, away from her skin. I am by her side, kneeing in front of her before I can think straight. "I can't go back there. Not to that man." She's crying now. The tears falling down her cheeks, one after another, as she is starting to fight Claudette. Trying to get up from the couch so she can run.

"Look at me." I place as much of my Alpha into my tone as I can. I'm trying not to go full on her. I don't want to scare her or make her do anything she doesn't want to willingly do. That's now how it will be with us. I can hear my friends all fall to their knees. "Damnit Zane! You know when you use that tone we can't help ourselves but to fall to the floor, awaiting your command." I hear Ethan grit out as he curses me out.
I'm not trying to make them do as I say. Our pack isn't run that way, but I need to calm her down so she doesn't hurt herself. I bring both hands to her head, to each side. I look deep in her grey blue eyes, but I know she can't make out anything I'm saying. She's too far gone now.
Without another thought, I slam my lips to hers. Causing not only her to stop moving all together, but making my world stop spinning entirely. She wraps her arms around my neck, falling into my lap. I dip my tongue into her open mouth, taking her up on her invitation. I suck her tongue into my mouth, toying with her, before I lightly bite her bottom lip.
Knowing I cannot keep this up too long, because her father will want to know what happened tonight. If he doesn't hear from me, he will send one of his men here, or worse come himself. That thought has me sobering, I push her away from me. She looks stunned for a moment, during this time I place my hands to the side of her face once more.
"There is no way in this world I will be sending you back there." She's looking at me but looks more like she's looking through me. Hell no! She isn't allowed to check out in any way with me. "Penny, look at me." She does to my utter shock. "I need you to really hear the words I am saying. To know I am being honest with you." She nods her head, as she wipes away the tears.

"I believe you." She hiccups causing a small smile to form on my lips. She still does that after crying. Shaking my head, I think back to when we were young. She may have changed look wise, and her body is womanlier, but she is still my lucky Penny. I kiss her forehead and bring mine to lay against hers. "Go with Claudette. Talk to her for a while, get your mind away from the past. Can you do that for me?" I plead with my eyes. She nods once more, as I lift my head and look past her to her best friend.
"Go with her. She will tell you what she knows about our world. The world you are now a part of. I will fill in any blanks in the morning. I need to make this call." Without another word, she wraps her best friend, my Penny in her arms and walks down the hallway with her. I watch as they disappear into the room.
I stand at my full height and turn to face my pack. "Sorry guys. I didn't mean..." Before I can finish my sentence, they each hold up a hand. "We get it. No worries." Hunter speaks first. A second later, I see a phone thrown in the air, I reach out and catch it just before it hits the floor. "Make that call. We are right here listening in." Fang nods his head at me. Normally, I don't allow any of them to tell me what to do, but I'm too thankful at the moment to have their support to reprimand him.
I turn, giving them my back as I dial the number. Listening to the ringtone, I have to snap my neck from side to side. Trying to calm down before the man I have hated my entire life speaks from the other end of the phone. When he does, I'm not sure what I'll do.
"You better have an explanation to what the fuck happened out there tonight!" Ethan places his hand on my shoulder, stopping me from doing something stupid.

8 1070Turn-Based Engineer
When James woke up five years before, he did not expect to end up in this weird, new world. Here, he found a reality filled with queer rules and magic beyond his imagination. Despite all this, he clung to his peaceful roots that he had been brought up with. With his knowledge, he could have changed the world. However, he did not wish to become some reckless adventurer or fearsome ruler; instead, he only sought to protect his loved ones and live a happy life. Sometimes though, the call of adventure forces itself upon even those who desperately wish to refuse. Warning: This story has multiple POVs. (But by chapter 15, it kind of narrows down onto James) This work is (as of now) being co-written by Zalex and Entelechy where Zalex has previously written the story, and Entelechy edits/adds pieces.

The price of any progress remains high... What kind of future will our heroes invoke? What will the price be? And how can they finally find peace.
8 186So What If I'm Trash? Who Needs Cultivation?!
Qing Shan Long. They say he isn't human. An escaped experiment from some government facility, a reincarnation of a saint, a freakish superhuman. Whatever he was one thing was clear. Be it Music, Martial Arts, Science, whatever he does he excels. He was a whimsical man. A great man. A man who craving for knowledge and excitement knows no bounds, whose collection of books and personal library would even make Alexander the Great green with envy. He donated to all manners of charities and funded many projects for helping the poor and disabled. A self made man who single handedly founded one of the largest corporations in the world, Wen Qu Technologies, whose influences reach from vast fields of expertise. From objects of war such as the newest aircrafts, droids, and body armor; to life saving medicine and vaccines; to even the mundane such as video games and the fast food industry. A legendary example of determination and hard work. He was in his car being driven to a business meeting to disclose a deal that would help ensure the country could have access to clean energy and help reduce the pollution that has been plaguing his homeland for the past millenia when he was assassinated and woke up in a strange new world. How will Qing Shan deal with his new environment where the strong suppresses the weak? From the top of the world he suddenly finds himself free falling to rock bottom. Unable to cultivate, a weak body, and all but disowned by his family. (For those who read comics and watch cartoons, imagine him as being Tony Stark, Richard Reeds, Jimmy Neutron, etc level of 'Genius'. ) My own spin on some familar tropes. Another reincarnation into another world story. The MC will take over the body of someone with a trash body that can't cultivate and will be hated and neglected by his family. Pretty typical so far right? Except there won't be some amazing miracle to heal our MC, there isn't some magical grandpa to teach him some OP thing which only his trash body can use, there isn't a hidden op bloodline, and he is not from a super amazing assassin clan or genius doctor. He isn't the chosen one, he's just a guy trying his best to make something with a crap situation. First attempt at a wuxia type story! I like playing with common tropes, maybe adding a twist, to playing it straight as a classic. I have absolutely no idea where this is going to take me but please do give your input and I'll do my best so that everyone has a say in where our journey will go. I'll admit the only knowledge I have of chinese history and ancient society is from reading light novels translated to english and some old dramas, so if I make some social passe just take it as because this is another world, not exactly an AU where magic and stuff actually exist. I'm also not actually Chinese and will basically using google to help me with names and other such, if I make a mistake please let me know! (Even if you don't like the story or couldn't bare to get past chapter 1 please leave a comment so I can find out where to improve, thank you!)
