《Badass Luna》Chapter 1

Sweat.
The only thing I could feel and smell as I entered the crowded club on a Friday night. I absolutely hate clubs. You must be thinking something along the lines of: 'Why are you in a club if you hate them?' Well the answer is simple. Blood. Well, not exactly, but something like that. Let me introduce myself, my name is Elisabeth Walker and I work for the NYPD. That clarifies why I'm in a club, thirsty to finally arrest the son of a bitch convicted of selling drugs illegally as well as sexual assault on minors, whom I've been hunting down for the past three weeks.
"El, there he is" my thoughts were interrupted when my partner, Emilia, spoke up, pointing me in the direction of our target. My heavy foot stomped the sticky floors as I started moving towards our arrestee, until Emilia pulled me back. "Wait, we can't just go there like that El, what if he tries to run-"
"Well then we hunt the son of a bitch Em" I snapped moving forward with my steps. I always had been the more wreckless one. If there was one thing I hated that was wasting my time, and I was definitely not going to waste it now that I had my target a few feet away from me. Emilia tried calling behind me, but she knew that nothing was going to stop me once I had made my mind up. That was something else about me, once I had made my mind up about something, there was no going back.
Jordan, the arrestee's back was facing us as he continued flirting with some girl who looked the least bit interested in the bald headed guy.
"Come on, one night Serena" I heard him shout through the noise to the woman in front of him.
"I wouldn't suggest this particular night" I commented into his ear as I pulled my handcuffs out, grabbing his hands roughly and shoving them through the metal cuffs. He was petrified when his face saw mine, and he started flailing around the cuffs, trying his very best to manage some sort of escape. I grabbed him harshly by the collar, dragging him out of the club where Emilia already waited by the police car expectantly.

"See, I told you I'd get him" I commented, shoving Jordan into Emilia's direction.
"I didn't doubt you" she answered grabbing onto the pathetic excuse of a person.
"Woah woah. Hold on, you can't do this to me! Why are you even arresting me?" Jordan yelled right before Emilia managed to dispose of him in the back seat of the police car.
"Oh god, are you seriously going to make me do this you fucktard?" I mentioned, more to myself than him.
"Yes, I need to know why I'm getting arrested. I'm innocent-" I cut him off, knowing what was coming my way.
"Jordan Parrish, you are under arrest for the trafficking of illegal drugs and sexual assault on minors. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be held against you in the court of law. You have the right to an attorney blah blah blah blah blah. I think you get the point fucktard. I'm sure you've watched enough movies to know what I'm going to say next. Now get in the car, you're going to jail" Just as he was pushed into the backseat, I heard footsteps approach, making me turn around to see two large men walking towards us. Excusing myself from Emilia, I moved ahead, meeting them halfway.
"Is there a problem gentleman?" The two men looked at me, somewhat trying to intimidate me.
"You have got to come with me" The taller man said, his slight foreign accent being highlighted through his words. I chuckled.
"I don't think so" He ran his fingers through his hair, as if contemplating his next moves. Being a cop, I had been trained to read body language for cases such as these.
"I'm sorry" and right before his skin could touch mine, he found himself being met with the barrel of my gun.
"I suggest you return where you came from gentleman. Quite frankly, I have had a really long day and I am rather tired and I'm sure you wouldn't want to have you arse kicked and spend the rest of your life in jail so I firmly believe you should leave." The two men stared at each other, as if tele-communicating before they backed away, walking back in the direction they came from.

Turning around, I noticed that Emilia's car had already disappeared, so I walked over to my own car, speeding off back home to get some rest. Tomorrow would be another day full of surprises.
"For god's sake Jonathan, will you stop drinking? We've got a meeting with the Lupus pack's Alpha tomorrow remember? I can't walk in there with a hangover, and neither can you" I commanded for the nth time as Jonathan, my beta, gulped the rest of his shot.
"Come on Ryan, it's a Friday, and it's your birthday so could you at least try and loosen up a little. We'll deal with the Lupus pack tomorrow alright? Besides, we have a higher tolerance for alcohol as werewolves remember?" He reminding me, pushing another shot my way. My hands moved in the direction of the shot to pick it up before a strange sensation took over me. A spark spread through my body, shaking every fibre inside my system, and the sweet smell of honey and vanilla penetrated my senses. Surely I knew what this meant since it could only mean one thing.
"She's here" I stated, causing Jonathan to look over at me.
"Your mate" he stated as a realization after a few minutes. I simply nodded as my eyes wandered around the club. A shadow passed right by me, driving the smell of my mate along with them.
My feet began moving in the direction of the smell, my wolf guiding me to my other half. I stepped outside, the noise of the loud music instantly fading out of my ears and the strike of fresh air finally hitting my face. The sound of a melodic voice caused me to look over the corner at my beautiful mate.
She held a man by the collar, his hands fitted into handcuffs as she threw him to another female.
"Jordan Parrish, you are under arrest for the trafficking of illegal drugs and sexual assault on minors. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be held against you in the court of law. You have the right to an attorney blah blah blah blah blah. I think you get the point fucktard. I'm sure you've watched enough movies to know what I'm going to say next. Now get in the car, you're going to jail" she responded, her voice already driving my wolf nuts. I resumed the movement of my feet, my eyes never leaving her figure as I watched the man getting pushed into the backseat of the police car.
She turned around, catching sight of me and Jonathan as we walked towards her. As I got closer, I finally took in her features. Her jet black hair was contrasted with her calm brown eyes and high cheekbones. Her jeans, white v neck and black leather jacket outlines every shape of her, making me want to claim her at the spot.
"Is there a problem gentleman?" she spoke, her English accent driving my wolf mad. Clearly she was not an American.
"You have got to come with me" I blurted, desperate to get to know her. She chuckled, confusing me further.
"I don't think so" she replied casually, pinching my wolf. My dominant side got the best of as I struggled to control my wolf. My fingers twisted into my hair as I tried to gain control, but failed. I looked in Jonathan's way sending him a message to the pack link. 'We've gotta take her'
"I'm sorry" I apologized in advance, but what came next took me by surprise. Before I could move, I found myself facing the barrel of her gun right at my face.
"I suggest you return where you came from gentleman. Quite frankly, I have had a really long day and I am rather tired and I'm sure you wouldn't want to have you arse kicked and spend the rest of your life in jail so I firmly believe you should leave." She uttered, leaving us completely shocked.
'Alpha, she's a cop. We'll have to find our way to her next time' Jonathan mind-linked, and I had no option but to agree with him. Taking her features in for the last time, we turned around, returning to the pack house.
Well this is going to be harder than I thought.

Edge Cases (Book 1 Complete!)
Rare classes and powerful skills are helpful. Too bad the system doesn't seem built to handle them. What even are all these errors? Our team of outcasts and adventurers will have to rely on their trust - and the bane of all stories, healthy communication - just to survive, let alone understand what the system is doing. Because they're quickly realizing that it's doing something; to people, to monsters, and maybe even to the gods themselves. And their goal isn't just to survive; it's to make things better. It's a good thing they're not doing it alone. --- Edge Cases is an attempt to take the LitRPG genre and the overpowered MCs trope and write a story where numbers aren't everything. Sometimes it takes trust, support, and just a touch of being very, very clever. Expect a mix of action, slice-of-life, friendship, and ominous worldbuilding. Updates M-W-F at 6pm EST. Cover art by Alovck of Artstation, and typesetting by jessessey right here on RoyalRoad.

Whispers from the dark
During the dark times, the humans and elves decided to work together to defeat the Fiend. A high king among the humans was chosen, together with his archmage he defeated the Fiend. A few years of peace, until the high king lost it. He was convinced that the mages would steal the crown and take over his world. Scared as he was, he decided to hunt down everyone with magical abilities. Elves retreated to the safety of their forests and mountains, forever remaining a mystery to the humans. Many non-magical humans agreed to this plan of their lord, for they were also afraid that the mages would take advantage of their weaknesses. The mages tried to survive. The archmage, who was the former counsellor of the last king and protector of the royal family, protested. He wanted to solve this problem through politics. But nothing helped, and the archmage fled. The king got two sons, one was born a mage, and the other human. The king despised his mage son and banished him. His younger brother became the heir of the throne. Anger grew in the mage prince. He thought war was the only solution to this problem. Consumed by the will to gain power, he searched for followers who would fight the humans in order to stop the hunt on mages. The archmage tried to stop this evil plan of the prince. But the mages split in two groups. The necromancers, followers of the evil prince, who studied the crafts of the dark magic to terrorise their enemies and gain back the throne. And the sorcerers, followers of the archmage, who tried to peacefully restore the trust between humans and mages. But nobody knew the danger that was gaining back his power in the underground world. The archmage disappeared and a darkness swept over the world. Human, elves, mages, every creature awaited in fear the day the darkness would take back his control. Faelwen, a young woman, was put in the middle of this chaos. Even though her only priority was to survive. Hunted down by humans and evil beasts, who can she trust? And what whispers from the dark will reveal the secrets from the archmage?

Forgive me, I didn't mean to take that!
Murong Yingyue is the heiress to a famous cultivator clan. Except that’s she’s really not, and just a stand-in for the real heiress, who had been sickly since she was born. And she’s not really even herself. A transmigrator from Earth had transmigrated into the body of a female demoness, inheriting her memories. The transmigrator had then later died, transmigrating into her infant body! Ah, Why is it so convoluted? She grew up with those memories, and when she was finally sufficiently strong enough to travel the world safely, she eagerly embraced a leisurely life. When I was a demoness, I didn't know how to live without constantly being on guard and having to calculate every move I make. When I was on Earth, I didn't know a life without romantic drama and jealous women! I'll enjoy these two things you have missed, then! I'll do whatever I want and avoid troublesome people. So... How the f*ck did I get into this stupid cliche storyline? And as the main character, too? I don't want to be the main character! They attract so many senseless cannon fodders and powerful enemies, and furthermore, don't they attract romantic interests like it's no one's business? Someone help me! This will read better if you are familiar with wuxia novels. Discontinued. Apologies to all who liked the story. I feel that my writing style has changed since I last wrote for this story, so I tried to get myself to rewrite the story but I couldn't find any motivation to do so. I also lost the outline I had for this story and don't really remember what direction it was going in, so I want to leave the story as is. Thank you to the people who read and favorited this.
