《The Alpha and I (Book 1)》3. Cici
Advertisement
I wake up to sunlight streaming through a window. I sigh and close my eyes before I remember where I am. I yelp and sit up. Fear goes down my spine as I swing my legs over the side of the bed and walk out of the room.
Beta Paul is sitting at at a coffee table staring at a pack file. When I walk in his eyes fly to mine. "Hey." I manage to say, the back of my throat dying from thirst.
"Hey, sit down." He motioned to a spot across from him. On the table is mug of coffee and eggs and bacon. I walk over and sit down taking a bite of the bacon. "So, Cici. Alpha Ash wants me to brief you on some stuff about the pack." He says. My eyes meet his and I got a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach.
"Your father already shared with us that you've lost your wolf." He says. I nod and drop my gaze. "Listen, Cici, to be honest with you the Alpha doesn't want a burden on the pack, I don't think you can stay here. You're not fit for a wife or for much else in the duties we expect of our members." The second he said those words my whole world came crashing down.
"W-what?" I cry out.
"As you know there aren't a lot of women in this pack. The ones who are though are strong and independant," I make my eyes go blank to stop myself from completely braking down in front of Beta Paul.
"Ok." I say. Paul gives me a sympethetic look.
"I'm sorry, but from this point on you can either go back to your father or you're a rougue." He says, than he gets up and leaves.

I lay down on the sofa feeling numb. I'm going to die. I'm going to die. My father will kill me. Tears continue to steam down my face. "My father will kill me if I return and I'd rather kill myself than be a rougue." I say to myself before stumbling into the bathroom. I pull open the medicine cabnet and grab whatever pills I can find. I pop the caps to the bottles open. Before I swollow the pills I go and find a pen and paper in the kitchen.
Dear Beta Paul,
Thanks for breakfast and for the truth. My father said that if he saw me agian he'd kill me and I'd rather me dead that be a rougue.
Thanks and goodbye.
Cici.
I walk over to the sofa and dump the pills in my hand. Wolf's heal fast but I don't have a wolf so I'm essentially human. Taking a deep breathe I pour the pills in my mouth and swallow. About an hour passed. "What have you done" I hear a voice... I look around frantically, than I realize, its my wolf. I gasp and start to try to bring up the pills, I choke and splutter but it's too late, 'she wasn't there fast enough' I thought as I saw everything fade to black. Just as someone burst through the door. He smelt perfect, like vanilla and buttercream were filling my senses and I let out a happy sigh and it helps me float away peacefully.
"Still too late." I mumble.

Sorcery in Boston
The timid daughter of some of the greatest spellcasters ever to have lived has found herself in another world, courtesy of magic gone awry. In Boston, Massachusetts, in the year 1935, she finds some kind souls in a hard era. In the heart of the Great Depression, as war looms around the corner, she seeks to find her place, and must come to terms with both who she is and what she truly desires. Author's Notes: Release Note: I recently realized what the hold up is. My current mental state is not compatible with the planned ending. If I wrote the ending according to what currently feels right, it will be a wretched, cruel ending that feels monstrously unfair and invalidates the work of the various characters... because that's how my life feels at the moment. The planned ending is coming out hollow and awkward, no matter how I write it, and so I've been bashing my head. I will finish it, once I manage to either brute force something decent out, or once my head gets screwed on straight. Audience: This story is not for young children - it contains some profanity, sexual content, violence, gore, and significant adult themes. Most of these are handled delicately enough not to upset teens or adults (hopefully), hence the lack of relevant tags, but it is nonetheless unsuitable for youth. It's fairly slow paced, and focused on the development of very human, very flawed individuals. Length / Completion Estimates: The outline currently involves two books. Book 1 is expected to be done with Chapter 43. It'll probably be completely finished by sometime in March of this year. I expect to move on to the far-more-lighthearted Of Gods and Dungeons (currently in progress / on hiatus). Afterwards, I may decide to redo Book 1, or write Book 2, or actually start sharing the story most dear to me, that I've been working on for several years now. Draft 1: Please be aware that this is first draft material. I do intend to come back to do a second draft after the story is complete. If anyone notices any issues whatsoever with the story, please let me know (pm, etc) so that I can improve the second draft. Writer's Pledge: I've taken the Writer's Pledge, meaning I'm commiting to completing this story. I'm a proud member of WriTE, a group dedicated to finishing stories. It will be done! Behind the Scenes notes: This picture was commissioned from an inked artist by the name of DanP. Up until the time of the protagonist's arrival, history has proceeded as before. Some places and characters have been borrowed from wikipedia entries of interesting figures from the time. I will make note in the chapter comments when such things come up. Naturally, I've taken a great deal of liberty with them. In interest of respecting individuals, I've either attempted to portray them as accurately as possible, or modified them sufficiently enough that they're simply an inspiration, instead of a real portrayal. I've attempted to be as accurate to the era as possible, but I'm not a historian. If you're aware of inaccuracies, please, bring them to my attention so that I can correct them.

Seeker
The Gods are dead As they bled dry, so did the magic which gave them birth. In the new era of technology, its pathetic remnants must hide in the shadows or be locked away. In the ancient era of magic two beings often stood out: Galileo, an immortal scholar obsessed with knowledge and Angelica, the most loyal servant of the greatest among the now dead Gods. But why are they worthy of mention? Because after millennia of isolation, the two emerge in the new world beyond their reckoning. The entire story is told from the third person, however, each chapter will be told from the perspective of only one of the characters. This will be signified by the first letter of their names after the chapter number to avoid confusion. I submitted this fiction as a [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] as well as a participant in National Novel Writing Month. The original challenge had been to finish this entire faction within the month of November reaching the 55.5k word minimum. This goal had been achieved. I do not own the cover picture

Magus Gravity
This is about a person who is summoned to a world to be a hero and save the human race from the demons, clich stuff, he will then make decisions that affect all of those around him(I think this is original). Also, he will not get all the """"females"""" out there in the other world and make a big harem that symbolizes how woman are treated as objects. Remember that this story is something I would like to read, and frankly most of the royal road stories are too damn lusty and filled with porn. But there will be some romance here and there since people get married and I need to talk about that too, so that is classed as romance right?
