《My Alpha (My Alpha Series Book 1 boyxboy)(under revision)》Chapter Eighteen- Hunter Isn't Nice Either
Advertisement
"Go." I growled through my teeth. He looked between both of us before huffing and storming off. "I'm sorry." I pulled Noah towards me as he sobbed into my chest.
It's been a week. One long week, where the only thing I did was stay by Ryder's bed and watch him rest, hoping that one day I would be able to see those piercing hazel eyes again. I hadn't eaten much lately. Mostly because I couldn't bring myself to eat. I felt disgusted by myself that I caused Ryder to feel depressed.
A knock was heard and then the sound of Riley's voice followed. "Noah, are you hungry?" he asked, worry strong in his voice. I answered with a simple shake of my head. The thought of food disgusted me. He let out a sigh before continuing to pressure me into eating. "You haven't eaten in four days and licking the salt off of pretzels doesn't count."
"I'm not hungry." I said, clearly uninterested in the topic.
"Can you atleast drink this smoothie?" he asked. I glanced over my shoulder at him and noticed the light pink smoothie in his hand. For the first time since I have been here, my stomach growled. Apparently he heard it because a smirk found its way onto his lips. He handed me the smoothie and waited for me to take a sip.
Letting out a sigh, I hestitantly placed my lips on the bendy straw and took a small sip. That was all it took before I devoured the whole thing, the sweet substance traveling down to my stomach, leaving a cold feeling behind. When I finished, I handed the glass back to Riley and resumed my position to watching Ryder.
"Your mother called again." he annouced. When I didn't respond, he continued. "She wanted to see how you and Ryder were doing." Again, I didn't respond. "Noah, you've missed a whole week of school. Don't you think you should-"

"No, Riley. Can't you see I just want to be left alone." I snapped, looking him straight in the eye before looking back at Ryder.
"I was just trying to help. It's not my fault you caused your mate to be like this." he snapped back before slamming the door on his way out. I covered my mouth as a tear streamed down my eye. So, I wasn't the only one who thought I was a monster.
I slammed the door harder than nessecary but I couldn't help it. I was beyond frustrated. Noah hadn't eaten in days. He hadn't showered. He won't even leave Ryder's side and I was just worried. I've known Noah since we were in fifth grade and I'm one of his closest friends.
I guess it was just hard for me to understand since I don't have a mate of my own yet. Anytime I saw Ryder and Noah together, it broke my heart. Ryder knew how bad I felt but I tried to cover it up. It just sucked to see my two best friends sucking faces when I was right there. I wanted a relationship like that. I wanted something to protect and love.
I was walking down the hall, towards the waiting room, when I bumped into Hunter. "How is he?" he asked. I was surprised at first. Ryder told me what happened and I was still angry with Hunter for the way he treated his son.
"Why do you care?" I asked.
"Because he's my son and if I ask a question, you answer it." he replied as he poked my chest with his finger. "Now, how is my son?"
"You didn't seem to care when your son was telling you he was gay and last time I checked, you weren't Alpha anymore. So, I don't have to take orders from you. I take orders from my new Alphas."

"That boy is not your Alpha-"
"That boy has a name." I said harshly. "He is your Alpha, whether you like it or not."
"Riley?" I heard a soft voice say. We both turned towards Noah, who was now standing inside Ryder's doorway. "Is everything ok?"
His eyes held so much sadness, that I found myself sinking into his huge ocean of grief and pain.
"You-" I watched as Hunter stormed towards Noah, jutting out his index finger. I reacted quickly and stood in between Hunter and Noah. "You caused my son to be this way!" I tried to push Hunter back but he resisted. I could barely recognize him. His angry complexion seemed similiar to that of a crazed wolf and I knew that Noah had to be frightened.
As I glanced over my shoulder, I noticed Noah's eyes were becoming glassy and I knew he would cry soon. I hated Hunter for making Noah cry and that gave me the motivation to try harder. I pushed Hunter back with all the strength I had and growled dangerously.
"Go." I growled through my teeth. He looked between both of us before huffing and storming off. "I'm sorry." I pulled Noah towards me as he sobbed into my chest.
Two weeks later..
I looked in the mirror and almost didn't recognize myself. I had dark bags under my eyes from lack of sleep and my hair looked like it hadn't been combed in days, which it hadn't . It had been two and a half weeks and still no progress had been made. I still did the same thing and Riley was still bugging me about "getting some sunlight" and "eating food".
"I don't hear the shower running." Riley yelled from the other side of the door. I sighed before I went to turn the shower on. He has been hovering over me like a hawk ever since the Hunter incident. I'll admit what he said hurt but I'm some what over it - for now.
I took a good thirty minute shower before finally, getting out. I opened the door and Riley stumbled backwards, probably because he was leaning against it. "See, now that wasn't so hard, was it?" he retorted before he left the room to let me change.
I put on the clothes he had brought me and grabbed my phone for the first time since I had been in the hospital. I had quite a few calls, messages, and notifications. I scrolled through my messages and laughed when I saw all of them were from Sage. She had messaged me everyday, trying to get a response.
I smiled and was about to type a message when I heard someone groan. I looked up from my samsung and my heart literally stopped. The phone slipped from fingers, crashing to the ground with a loud thud. Sitting up in bed with his eyes wide open, Ryder smiled at me the most refreshing smile ever.

Lone: The Wanderer [Dropped Version (includes original draft of the rewrite's first volume)]
Nine-to-five. The daily grind. Life. Painful years of school. Working as a slave for some undeserving corporate big-wig. The monotonous life of unemployment. We all experience this in one way or another, and we can all conclude one thing: it's dull. Such a fact rings true even for the fabled Lone Immortus, a powerful nine-tailed Golden Foxkin. However, what would you do if your monotony was suddenly ground to a halt and you were thrown out of your comfort zone along with a young girl forgotten by time? Perhaps you might have done things differently, been more organised, immediately died, gained control of the world in a matter of days, but this is Lone's tale, not yours. Watching two insecure people struggle to survive and find their place in an unfamiliar land just might be enjoyable to witness. Who knows? One thing's for certain: it won't be an easy path for them to tread, and what could possibly be more entertaining than watching people endure hardships and grow? I know of at least eight gods that would answer with, 'Absolutely nothing.' I wonder, after seeing this journey from start to finish, how would you answer? [Goal of 2 chapters per week, the only exceptions being announced breaks or emergencies] A/N: This story is in the middle of a rewrite, so please forgive any noticeable plot holes and wonky chapter numbers. I am working on it every day, so understanding would be greatly appreciated. The new cover art is a courtesy of the very kind and talented ssddx. This novel is a participant in The Writer's Pledge

The Strongest Hero VS The Weakest World?
There exist many worlds out in the universes. Within the Devine realm, the Gods manage each and every world carefully. That said, the worlds outnumber the Gods since there is an almost infinite number of worlds. Thankfully, every world doesn't need a God to work properly. Though, some worlds are in desperate need of some due to monsters or demons causing damage to them. To help isolate them and save the worlds, the Gods created a plan. The plan gives each world a rank that shows the danger level of the world. The plan also ranks each God depending on how powerful and wise they are. Then, each God gets assign to a world that matches their ability and rank. This said the Gods are unable to interact with the world directly. They can only do a couple of things, which none of the actions can save the world. Due to this, the Gods bring Heroes to their world so that the Heroes can save the world. The Heroes come from other worlds that have passed away. The plan picks out Hereos and then the Gods train them so that they are prepared to save the other world. Within the realm that the dead goes to for judgement, a person stands in line with a soul so bright it might be mistaken for a God. Later, this person is known as the Devine World Savior, though, if you would ask him, he will only say... "Huh? That was a low-ranking world. It was extremely easy!"
