Chapter 1

If you like any of my works please check out the rest.

Currently within my works are:

1. Omega No More (Completed):

For five hundred and forty seven years the supernatural world has been divided due to the death of the High King. All races kept to themselves and refused to bow before another race. This was a time of supernatural wars that were hidden from humanity. But maybe it"s time for a change? Maybe the god king has different ideas.

This is the story of Alex McCarthy, an omega in the Dark Tide pack. A werewolf that has experienced a forced rejection. A werewolf who the god king has chosen personally. A werewolf who"s destiny cannot be measured.

2. The Last Of Us (Completed):

Michael Hayes grew up as the pack slave. He was born the runt while his twin brother, Hayden, was born to be the Alpha. His parents, the current Alpha and Luna cast him aside so they could focus on making Hayden the Alpha he was born to be.

Michael became the pack slave at the age of four and his first beating happened at the age of eight. He didn"t care why they did this to him. He cast his emotions aside when he finally realized that no one in the pack actually cared for him. He was here for the sole purpose of making their lives easier.

What happens when Michael finds his Mate? What happens when a wolf who hasn"t shifted gets rejected? What happens to a rejected wolf that has no emotions? What happens when the first rejection in centuries leads to unleashing a monster no one was prepared to deal with?

3. Last Chance (Completed):

Being constantly compared to ones brother can make one feel neglected. This is the case for Kai Walker. His brother was the star of the schools soccer team as well as the star of the basketball team. Everyone adored him and held him on a very high pedestal. This includes his own parents.

For all of his sixteen years he has been constantly compared to his brother whether at home or at school. The most common phrase he hears is, "Why can"t you be more like your brother?"

He made it through the years due to his only friend. A female childhood friend of both his and his brother, Amy Halland. But one sentence from her has sent Kai over the edge. The phrase he never thought he would hear from her. Yet it happened.

Without hope he gives up, right after the sentence he decides to end his existence. He jumps from the school"s roof ignoring the shouts from Amy. Yet it still didn"t work.

He wakes to found himself in a land unknown to him. A land full of magic, knights, and hero"s. Unknowing that his current body is in hospital in a coma. His conscience, thanks to the famous Tranvent Corp gaming company, now resides within a new virtual reality game that they have created, Guild Stronghold.

4. Worth Waiting For (Completed):

For the vampire princess who has wondered the earth looking for a purpose, she most definitely did not expect to find it within a three year boy.

Since the day she met him, she was aware he was her Beloved.

She stayed in the shadows, silently watching over him. Ensuring he was kept safe. She waiting until it was the time to reveal herself. What she didn"t expect and had to stay and watch, was this boy turning into a distant, quiet husk of his former self.

He became the school"s nerd, yet that didn"t phase Ashlynn. She has waited centuries for Malachi, and what she knows now, is that it is always worth the wait.

5. Fear No More:

Victor Mc"Arthur, the last of his kind, was not what anyone expected. Being the last dragon alive, one would expect him to be egotistical. Playing off his status to get anything he wanted. Yet he was none of the stereotypical natures that would accompany the last of any kind.

He was a quiet, kind boy who only wanted one thing, Julie Kale. He has always wanted her to be his, but she was a powerful elemental user who wanted an equally powerful partner. No one knew of Victor"s status, not even Julie. She friendzones him, and uses him to ensure she is ready for her multitude of dates.

One incident broke the last straw Victor held on to. Competing in the annual magic tournament, he intends to win. Winning means that the most powerful witch alive would grant one single wish. A no limit wish. A wish that will be granted.

When he reveals himself through the competition, he gains a new reputation. A reputation the popular could be jealous of. When it is time to claim his wish. The wish chosen, shocks the entire magical community.

A wish that needs to be granted. A wish that would forever shift the balance of power. A wish that may or may not be the end of Victor himself.

6. The Last Hero:

Caden thought he had a new start being summoned to a new world. He thought he would be the Hero everyone wanted him to be. And he was, although only for two years. Once his enemy was defeated, he realised, however, things are not always as you hope them to be.

He was abandoned by the world that summoned him. His friend, colleagues, the Queen that summoned him, treated him as if he was the nothing. They abandoned him as soon as his quest was complete. After all a Hero without a cause isn"t needed.

When a new terror arises four years later, he is requested once more to come in aid of the kingdom. To assist in the fight to live. Yet he refuses, he would not be betrayed again. Let alone by the same woman who summoned him.

Since the need for Heroes was gone, none were trained. Since here can only be one Hero summoned at any given point, the kingdom was at a loss. They needed someone who could fight. Someone who could lead their armies to victory.

Yet the Last Hero alive couldn"t care less.

7. Reality Of The Successor (Sequel to Omega No More):

Alex didn"t think his life could be any worse. He had finally stopped his brother. He had finally found his Mate and now he was planning to spend eternity making her happy.

Then reality sets in. An ancient terror of the universe attacks and it is up to Meredith and Alex to stop it. However, nothing goes according to plan. Meredith once more perishes as Alex gives everything to take revenge. While doing so he is mortally wounded.

Then the unthinkable happens. The terror they faced cursed Alex to a fate far worse than death. He sends Alex back in time to when he first shifted. Although Alex thought it would be great, he failed to remember the curse. A curse that does not allow Mates. Causing both to burn at a single touch.

He sets out to make things right with everyone and more importantly he needs to break the curse. All he wants is his Mate. His Beloved. His Soul Mate. And he will not stop until he gets her.

Chapter 2

I"ve read stories about how the protagonist has come from an abusive household and how his or her parents have loathed them enough to beat them everyday. I have read stories about how they are orphaned and put in foster homes which do the exact same thing. Yet I wish I could have a family like that. At least they cared enough to do something. My own foster parents couldn"t care less if I drew a breath or not.

I never knew about the people that sired me nor did I know about what happened to them. No one seemed to have the answers that I had begun to seek. The only thing that they seemed to have given me was the aptitude for the supernatural. Both within magic as well as transformation.

I found out from an early age that I was the last dragon shifter alive. My entire race has almost been wiped out of existence. The main reason for this is that the dragon race was one of the most powerful races known to this world. And that they were the peacekeepers of our lands. The other supernaturals did not like that and in turn decided to eradicate the so called "threat".

I haven"t told my foster parents, who were witches by the way, about my transformative affliction. The only thing I have told them was that I had an aptitude for the elemental arts. I could control fire, wind, and water by thought alone. I was by no means a master, but I did have sufficient enough control to warrant me an attendance to the most prestigious magical arts academy in the country.

This is where my story begins. This is where I would start a new life, afresh and with hopes of leading a normal one. All I wanted was to feel like I belonged. Like I matter to someone. I have been alone since before I could remember and maybe, just maybe, this time could be different.

I knew that I would need to keep the dragon side of me a secret, knowing what the supernatural order would do to me if they knew the truth. Maybe they wouldn"t take such measures against someone like me, but you couldn"t be too careful, right?

The train I was riding in came to a stop at the academies gates allowing those students to disembark easily. I began to wonder what would happen if normal people disembarked at this location but then I noticed that none did. Not a single one of the normal people on the train even looked up to see the academy. It was as if they could not see it. Interesting.

I stood at the open cast iron gates with the initials, PIMAA, welded within each of the two gates. The road to the academy was a long straight path that lead uphill. Luckily the walk was surrounded by the lush foliage and the forest trees that gave off a very beautiful scenic aura. I was lost within it when I bumped into someone.

"Ow." Came a soft smooth voice from in front of me. The voice immediately caught my attention. It sounded so beautiful. So indulgent. I cast my gaze towards the voice and found a long black haired girl, that had fallen on her backside, staring right up at me.

I quickly offered my hand to aid in getting her to a standing position, which she took without hesitation.

"I am so sorry." I said quickly as I pulled my hand back and tilted my head down in shame. "I should watch where I am going." I immediately said realising that I should not have. I wanted to make friends and lead the life that I wanted. Yet, here I am doing the same things that gave me the outcast visage during primary and high school.

"Don"t worry about it." She said with a soft smile as she patted her backside, removing the last bit of dirt from her dark blue robe. "I"m Julie." She said as she extended her hand, offering to shake mine.

I reached forward and gently shook her hand before pulling it back just as quickly. "Victor." I responded as she quickly moved to my right and wrapped her left arm around my right.

"Come on!" She said a little too excited for my pace. "We don"t want to be late on our first day, do we?"

"I suppose not." I replied as I let her drag me along. It must have looked funny. A guy who is pushing six foot three inches being pulled my a girl who is just under five feet and ten inches. I wonder what the other students have thought about this matter.

We made it to the academy hall that would house the orientation that was to be given to the new students, just in time. As we took our places, the doors to the hall closed suddenly with loud bangs. An old lady, about seventy or so years of age, began to walk from the left side of the meter high stage in front of the hall. It took her about ten seconds to make it to the floating soft blue orb that hovered about a meter and a quarter off the ground.

She cleared her throat before addressing the students before her. Her right hand came up to smooth the white hair that sat atop her head and then adjusted the black bulky glasses that sat on her nose.

"Welcome to the Prestigious International Magical Arts Academy." She began with a smile as the blue orb enhanced her voice. "The academies purpose is to train you all in your specific magical arts, as well as determine which sector of the normal and/or magical world"s you would most likely fit into.

"You will have five years to show to us your strengths and weaknesses that will allow the placement to be smoother. The higher both your academic and magical abilities are, the more chance you have at received a very prestigious job offer.

"Nobility or riches, mean nothing to the staff and myself included. Do not let it cloud your understanding of this school. It most certainly does not cloud ours." She said and I could hear a few chuckles behind me and a few comments along the lines of "we"ll see".

"Every year, roughly during the middle months. We hold a tournament to display the magical prowess that you have learnt and mastered. Winning this tournament, immediately gets you recognised by a few companies, as well as the reward itself is not half bad.

"If you win, I will personally grant any single wish that you may have. The only limits being, raising the dead to their former selves, as well as allowing for more wishes. Anything else, I am more that capable of doing.

"After this speech, the teachers will come to you and assign each of you a schedule as well as a dorm room. This is non-negotiable. You receive what you receive. Thank you." She ended and then disappeared into a cloud of smoke.

"That was really strange." Julie said next to me, causing me to jump slightly at her closeness. "But one wish." She glanced upwards as if in deep thought, fantasising about her intended wish. "I would probably wish for a powerful husband. That way I would be set for life."

"A powerful husband?" I asked a little disturbed by the notion. "What if he doesn"t love you?" I added wanting to know her answer.

"Doesn"t matter. That is why I am here in the first place." She added as she curled some black hair around her right ear. "I need a powerful husband in order to be set for life. Without it, I would crumble into nothingness. Love takes a back seat to this matter."

I couldn"t believe what she was saying. How could someone say such things?

I looked at Julie knowing that if she wanted a strong husband that I would be the perfect fit for her. Especially since I am the last dragon. Maybe I should ask her out. What could go wrong?

"Hey, Julie." I began my request as she turned to look into my eyes. "I was just wondering...If you would..." I began to trail off in my request before I grew a backbone and asked her properly. "If you would go out with me. Like dinner or something."

She stared at me in what I could only make out as amazement plastered on her face. She was about to respond to my request when a large well built teacher in jeans and a flannel shirt approached us.

"Mr Mc"Arthur, you"re with me." He said as he stroked back his black overly gelled hair. "Miss Kale, your with Mrs Stanton over there." He pointed to the young looking woman in a gray business suit, and a long blonde pony tail. He seemed to notice the tension between us and thought that now was the best time to make things awkward. "Am I interrupting something?"

"No, no." Julie quickly said as she took a step towards the teacher giving him a lustful gaze. "I was just talking to my friend." My heart fell at that one sentence. Never mind that she is acting like a bitch in heat towards the teacher. Calling me friend when I just asked her out, has just put me in the so called friendzone.

The books I have read has made mention of this numerous times and I knew that it was not the place to be. There was varying degrees of the friendzone and I dreaded finding out to what degree she saw me as.

Chapter 3

Its been a few weeks since the opening ceremony and we have been placed within the dorms. I don"t know if it was by sheer luck or coincidence but I was the only person who did not have a roommate with them. Most of the boys were jealous and some were even furious that I was the lucky one.

I had hoped that within this academy I could finally find peace, that I could finally find a place where I belong. But life does not always work the way that you wish for it to. Due to my status within the dorm as well as the unlikely friendship I had with Julie, made me the target of the bullies within the academy.

I hated being the last dragon in existence and I decided to always hide the fact. I did not want the unnecessary reputation from being discovered, so I took their punishment. Taking a few beatings and a few insults was enough to tide me over.

Julie was not aware of what was happening to me and that is the way I would like to keep it. She has been nothing but nice to me, so I did not want to ruin her days with the knowledge that just because she knew and liked me, I was shunned as the result.

It turned out that I found what degree she saw me as a friend was. I was the friend that would give her advice on the boys that she found attractive and powerful. I was the friend that would console her when she felt down or when she felt worthless. Yet I was never the friend that she would be able to open up emotionally and love.

Throughout the beatings and the insults, the main antagonist of mine, was a fire mage by the name of Bo Scaro. He was one of the highest nobility students currently attending the academy and one of the most powerful of the first years. He was the main tormentor who made my days here hell.

With everything that has gone wrong throughout my academy life, I was not prepared for the events that would unfurl themselves within my near future. The one thing I was subconsciously hoping wouldn"t happen would happen eventually. The one hope I had held out for came crashing down upon my life in the most unfortunate way I could imagine.

Julie came into my dorm room with a large smile on her face. She never comes to my room this early in the morning. It was just about time to start getting ready for the classes that were about to begin.

She was wearing a knee length sparkly black sleeveless dress that truly made her figure stand out. She looked beautiful standing at the entrance to my door asking to come in. I noticed her long loose black hair was a bit dishevelled and the look of ecstasy was plastered upon her face.

"I have finally done it." She let out as she fell back onto my bed.

"Done what?" I asked as I turned to my wooden closest beginning to look through it for the clothes I intended to wear to class.

"I have finally found the one to make my husband." She said with a sigh and as I turned around shocked, I could see her closed eyes and the look of pure joy sitting upon her face.

"What?" I said still shocked at her revelation. Is she being serious now? Is she really that far out of my reach that I am no longer within her sights? Why do these things keep happening to me? I thought as I felt my heart fall to the depths of my being.

"I have found a powerful magic user that I can make my husband." She said as she sat up on the bed as glanced in my direction. "And the perfect thing is, we have sealed the deal. There is no way he is getting out of this marriage now."

"Sealed the deal?" I asked hoping against all odds that what she meant was not what I was thinking of at this very moment.

"We gave ourselves to each other." She said with a large smile as she fell back down onto my bed. "We belong to each other now. There is no way Bo can get out of the upcoming marriage arrangement."

My heart fell even further than before and I could swear I felt my soul tear in two. I found that since I could no longer have the happiness that I hoped for, that I didn"t care about many of the things that I normally would. The one thing I knew I needed was to leave at this very moment.

While her eyes were closed I walked out of my room hoping to find a location as to where I could cool off. I needed to calm down. The dragon side of me was becoming uncontrollable and that is something that I just couldn"t have.

Then an idea hit me. She wanted a powerful partner yet she was friends with the rarest one of them all. Maybe I could use this to my advantage. Maybe I could join the annual tournament that I knew Bo would be apart of and use that as the time to unveil myself.

I found a large tree just outside of the school grounds, atop a hill. Sitting under the welcomed shade, I found the view overlooked the academy and its grounds. The swaying breeze as well as the wildlife within the forest behind me made this spot wondrous. It was just what I needed to calm down.

I felt the academy issued MEP (Magical Communications Protocol) vibrate within my pocket. It was the communication device that allowed two way radio waves to be transmitted from the two intended crystals. It was a diamond crystal with the height of a golf ball and the width of a couple centimeters.

I let it vibrate knowing who it is that was trying to contact me. Why do I need to answer her call now? I still needed to try and relax with the knowledge that the last shred of happiness that I could"ve had, was now an impossible task. I had nothing. I would be nothing.

When the vibrating stopped, I grabbed the crystal from my pants pocket, only now realizing that I did not have a shirt on. I left far to quickly to realize it earlier. It was the downside of being a dragon. My temperature was always a little high, disabling me from feeling the cold.

I held the crystal in my right hand as it sprung to life. It was a clear crystal that was standard issue. If you had more money, a more vibrant colour could be bought. It began to glow white slightly as it hovered a few centimeters from above my palm.

A hologram emitted above the crystal in the form of a thirty by fifteen centimeter rectangle. Julie"s face became apparent as the message connected. She looked a little frantic.

"Vic, where are you?" She almost shouted through the message. "You just disappeared on me. I was telling you the good news and then I open my eyes, and you were gone. What happened? Are you okay? Are you hurt? Please let me know. I need to know you are okay. Please come back." She was almost crying by the end of the message yet for some odd reason it did not affect me.

I felt broken knowing that her tears now meant nothing to me. How could I have believed that she could be the one. That she could"ve have been the one to spend the rest of my life with. However short it may be.

The message ended and I closed my fist on the deactivated crystal. I needed something to take the pain away. I need something to make this whole situation better. Then I remembered the tournament. The tournament that would start in a few days that could grant any wish that I wanted.

A wish that could solve all of my problems. A wish that could solve many peoples problems. And I knew the exact one I would make.

I stood up and taking a deep breath I set out towards the academy offices that would hold the registration form. After about twenty or so minutes, I found the office and proceeded to enter.

Behind the large steel and glass counter, sat the mid thirties admin worker. He had a slight recede to his dark brown hair and a scowl ever present on his face. He glanced up at me and without his expression changing he spoke.

"What do you want?" He said almost angrily.

"I want to register for the tournament." I told him honestly. I could see the humoured expression coming across his face as my soft smile dropped.

"Do you now?" He said as his scowl turned into a mock smile. "If I remember correctly, you Victor, are ranked three hundredth and four within the first years. Do you think you can match up to the other years, let alone your own?"

"I will fight and I will win." I told him as a resolute expression crossed my face. I stood my ground, standing tall as I stared into his dark eyes. "That I can promise you."

"Alright, fine." The man said with his smile growing. It seemed that he was beginning to enjoy sending a low ranked player to the tournament. It seemed as if he got off on it. Strange, really.

I watched as he registered me through his holo-desk. The school"s system showing up a few centimeters off the desk with a soft blue glow.

"Congratulations." The man said with a chuckle. "You have now been registered for the competition. Just in time too, the registration was about to close."

"Thank you." I said as I turned around and began to make my way to the dorms. I still needed a shirt.
