“Wild River.” Jake made a movement with his hand to beckon Rune closer to us. If we were about to talk about how Alpha Markus ravaged her pack, it was better to hear it from the one that survived it. “I heard about that,” Alpha Zane said, nodding his head towards Rune in understanding. “I thought there were no survivors.” “Four people barely made it out alive. Two adolescent pack members, my pup and I.” Rune admitted. “It was awful.”

Galvin is… well he hates me because I'm weak. "Thank you…" I replied. "We are going on a quest with nimble monsters so it would be helpful if you could be our runner." Oren said. In a party or a guild formation, runners are challengers that aggro the monsters and act as a bait to help the damage dealers to easily subdued their enemies, especially if those monsters don't stay in one place, it was a lot harder when the monsters are nimble since great concentration and speed is needed for the runner to effectively become a bait.

I scrambled toward the open door, my chest heaving, every muscle in my body screaming for release. "Cassius!" I shouted, though I knew he wasn't in there anymore. Just the beast. I sprinted into the corridor, not looking back as the sounds of visceral, tearing flesh echoed behind me. The hallway was dark, illuminated only by the faint light coming from the main entrance of the pack house. I could hear shouting, the distinct sound of gunfire, and the screams of men dying. I ran until my lungs felt like they were filled with broken glass. I reached the main floor to see Malakai and Tavian engaging a group of three monsters near the grand staircase.

I had been running for two hours. How? I had no freaking clue. I kept waiting for my body to just give up at any moment but it seemed we were still going strong. Pack warriors had started to come in for training, which meant it was 12 PM or probably past 12. I was having half a mind to just quit but then I saw Angelica and Dante, they were cheering for me on the side. The warriors had turned my running into a betting game. ‘How much longer would the runt last?’ That’s what they muttered to themselves as they placed bets.

22-23 September, 2050 Sometimes she felt she had been running all her life. It hadn't always been like that, but the persistence of a refugee life felt never-ending sometimes. Today's run felt good, however. In her pocket, she held fifty dollars that she had promised Caleb she'd take back one day as they were hers. After a long run away from the theater, she had at last found a bus stop but decided on a little culinary detour. While that digression - a little Polish joint hidden among the shabby buildings in view of the inundated beach - was much needed, it had delayed her.

I feel my existence means nothing in my Pack. My brother trying to remain optimistic that things will change back to normal. The pack treats us lower than the omegas of the pack since our parents died in the war. Oh how I miss them. The day will come I will run. I will run as fast as my legs can take me. I am just waiting to turn sixteen. Then I will receive my wolf. My brother is supposedly be Alpha but the Beta took over the Pack stating my brother being Eighteen and just received his wolf is too young to run it.

THE LUNA SERIES BOOK ONE: THE RUNAWAY LUNA PROLOGUE Maddison felt the icy raindrops hit the smooth layers of her skin through the flimsy white sundress but none of it mattered. She needed to get away as far as possible from this wretched little town. The rain soaking her to the bone didn’t bother her at all and neither did the starless night. Her feet picked pace against the roadside of the desolate street. She glanced behind her, the approaching car with lights at full tilt as more pain shot through her body as she closed one hand over her bleeding wound on the right side of her stomach. God forbid if the knife had penetrated deep enough. This was absolutely not the time to think; it was t

Some of them whispered behind their hands; no doubt I could hear them. “She doesn’t even look upset.” “Six years and she doesn't care.” “Alpha Richard did everything for her, and this is how she repays him?” If only they knew what it was like to be cast out, to rebuild a life from nothing. Thunder rumbled overhead, matching my mood. Perfect funeral weather, I thought bitterly, watching pack members huddle closer under their umbrellas. I remained where I was, letting the first drops of rain hit my face. It felt fitting, nature mourning what I couldn't.

I would have to make sure to say far away from them, seeing how I did not know what they did. Mr. Griffen stood in front of us as we stood at the starting line. With a cocky smirk on his face. He looked right at me as he spoke to the group of "newbies," as he called us. I smiled right back at him. "All right, as I said before, other students who passed in previous years will try to make you fail. Also, the five with the slowest times will be disqualified as well. So run fast and think fast. The first thing you do is you must army crawl as fast as you can and select two weapons or tools to help you with this then with the selected items you must scale the twenty-foot wall and make it to the o

It could only be driven by him. The Cayenne wasn’t slow, but as it passed by with the window down, Lillian caught a glimpse of Serena in the passenger seat. Dressed in a light blue work outfit, her long hair cascading over her shoulders, Serena’s gaze drifted outside the window, meeting Lillian’s amid the crowd of employees. Serena paused, then offered a smile. Oliver, concentrating on driving, didn’t notice the interaction. After the car drove into the company, the Qin Corporation staff started gossiping.
