《Star Wars EpisodeIVAU: Revival (Star Wars AU Series #2)》Dinner and a Deal

Luna's POV
"This can't be happening, this can't be happening!" Lando mumbled to himself as he went to grab cleaning supplies.
"Well, where could he be? We didn't come to waste time looking for him, Lando! We were supposed to pick him up here and take him back to the Rebel Alliance!" Han put his hands in his pocket.
"Whose footprints are those?" Eden pointed at the footprints.
"I really don't know. I hope he didn't get very far," Ben stroked his beard.
"Guys, follow me," I pointed ahead of me and bolted away from the crime scene.

"Alert, alert! Anakin Skywalker has left his quarters. Somebody, find him before he gets captured by Yvonne and her goons!" Lando's voice roared over the intercom. There were people hustling to and fro as a deafening alarm echoed through the hall.
"He's acting like this is a jailbreak," Han murmured as we ran down the hallway.
"Well, to be fair, it's urgent that he does not get kidnapped by Yvonne and her goons because who knows what the hell they're up to," Eden retorted.
"Let's check out the dining hall," I gestured for the others to follow me. We arrived at the dining hall, which was, like the rest of Cloud City, was pristine white. There were marble plates for every chair, along with glossy glasses and silverware. The fanciness didn't attract my attention. What did, however, was right in front of me.
"It's you," Eden gasped in horror. A woman in black was seated at the far end of the table.
"Why, welcome, Princess Eden of Alderaan. Why don't you hand over that data card you stole and call it a day?" she stood up.
"Gragagaga!" Chewbacca cried.
"Never," Luke growled under his breath. Han stepped forward and shot at the woman. She activated her lightsaber and deflected each and every blaster fire. She then outstretched her hand and Force pulled the blaster into her hand.

"Join us for dinner, please," the woman spread out her arms as if she was addressing a crowd. Harkos stepped out from behind a stone pillar.
"Why are you here, Harkos?!" I demanded to know. What's a scum like him doing here? I thought he was looking for Anakin.
I turned around, only to see Stormtroopers blocking out path. Great. We were trapped.
"How were they able to get a landing permit?! Tell me!" Eden slapped Lando's arm.
"Whoa, chill out, princess," Lando held up his hands in defense. "I honestly don't know,"
"Is that your answer?!"
"This is not the time for arguing, Eden," Ben restrained Eden.
"Gagagagagagaga!" Chewbacca growled in annoyance.
"Where is my father?" Luke shouted.
"Join us for dinner and I will reveal his location to you,"
"Never, Hecate!" Eden stamped her foot. My attention diverted to the door, but right before I was able to exit, it snapped shut. Now we were REALLY trapped.
"Come, sit down," Hecate sat down in her chair. Luke ignited his lightsaber and pointed it at her.
"You will tell me where my father is," he said.
"Idiot, she's a Force user. That shit ain't gonna work on her," I hissed in Luke's ear.
"Oh, how I would wish you youngsters would cooperate," Hecate sighed.
"Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin!" Luke carved a hole in the door and climbed through it. "C'mon!"
"Hey, you get back here!"

Rise of the Desolate Star
“The soul is a sword. The body its sheath. Adversity is the hammer, while courage is the anvil. Oh, and son? Your tears and snot, they’re just the sparks that chip away at the impurities, like dungflies off a sow’s arse.” - Kendric Farrow Ever since he could remember, young Skyle Farrow’s body and mind have been hammered relentlessly like red-hot steel against the anvil of adversity under the watchful eyes of his father. All the while, Skyle’s heart and soul have been nurtured by the enduring warmth of his loving mother. Skyle has always asked why a simple farmboy would have need for all manner of skills like hand-to-hand combat, wilderness tracking, archery, beast taming, geography, history, politics, and even embroidery! The one vital question remains unasked, however: just what are his parents preparing him for? The invasion of a demonic horde? The advent of an age of war and endless bloodshed? The dark legacy of an ancient mystical power? A desperate struggle to save the lives of those he holds dear? The end of the world? It is a good thing he never asked these questions, for the answer would have been yes - to all of them. Now Skyle must take his first steps beyond the sheltered world he has known. He has been raised strong, but is he strong enough? Welcome to a tale of friendship, love, loss and heartbreak. It chronicles the growth of a young boy into a legend whose path will shatter the very foundations of the world. Expect a rich, detailed world with vivid characters. Each will pursue their own complex agendas due to realistic motivations. The MC will be overpowered, not through liberal use of plot armor but rather the deliberate application of arduous training, clever thinking, and nurtured talent. Battles will be graphic, victories will be bittersweet, and defeat will not mean the end of the world - for time waits for no one and life goes on whether we like it or not. New chapters posted on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 6 p.m EST, 10 p.m. GMT.

Mated at first sight
Evie went to college at her hometown to get away from Ashton (her mate that she rejected after she found out what he really did to her).Ashton was heart broken, had probably an alcohol problem and his pack was slacking. Josh found out where Evie was hinding after weeks if not months. He told Ashton where she was and they went to her hometown."Ashton?" My whisper seemed to travel all the way to them because Ashton and Josh both turn to look my way. I hear him shout my name and a couple seconds later I'm being pulled into a chest."Evie." Ashton says almost breathlessly, as if he's in shock from seeing me."Let go of me." I spit out, trying to keep the anger in front of the hurt."I can't." He whispers."Well you need to. I thought I made it clear last time, we are done." I say heatedly, anger and hurt crashing through me.Ashton closes his eyes and takes a deep breath, "I'm sorry," he whispers, "but I have to."Panic flirts through me, "Have to what?"Ashton leans down and puts his lips against my neck and starts kissing softly. Heat floods through me and chases away any panic, anger or hurt. I feel my body lean into his embrace and can't help but feel like I should never move from his arms."I'm sorry." Ashton whispers against my neck. Before I can say anything, I feel his teeth against my neck.
