Chapter 11 Kicked out by his own parents

In complete darkness, a dark castle loomed eerily over the lifeless terrain, with no sign of life living in sight.

"Atticus! Atticus, open the door!"

An exasperated female voice rang out throughout the castle, along with the loud noise of incessant knocking.

"Atticus! Atticus! I f*ckin' swear to your father's name, I'm going to kill you!"

A man, floating in the air in a lying position with his legs crossed while reading a book, couldn't help but squeeze his eyes shut as he sighed deeply. The loud banging on his door disrupted his focus. He groaned in annoyance, and with a snap of his fingers, the door finally swung open.

A woman with long, wavy white hair stepped in. Her scarlet eyes instantly glared at the floating man. She was fuming with rage as she stomped her feet towards him.

Their sole son had skipped the underworld's annual gathering set up for marriages between high-ranking Chthon from Hades's domain and Demons from Hell's domain. AGAIN.

As the son of the ruler of Hades's domain and a demi-god, their son was not supposed to participate in that certain gathering as it was only meant for the noble class. To strengthen the bond and relationship between the Chthons and Demons, the official council of each domain had agreed on finally joining forces and becoming in harmony with each other through interracial union.

For a stronger friendship, the Demon King suggested an arranged marriage of their children. However, Atticus, their sole son, had ghosted the Demon King's daughter during their wedding day and didn't show up.

Such a scandal almost triggered another war between the two domains in the underworld. But the peace had been restored, thanks to the Demon King's daughter's effect on his father, she was able to pacify the Demon King's anger.

After such an incident, Atticus had been urged by his parents to get married, strictly forcing him to participate in the annual gathering for marriages, hoping somehow, he would find a wife. And of course, for a personal reason as well, they wanted grandchildren.

Atticus sighed as he flipped the book closed and glanced down at his mother through his reading glasses, "What is it, ma?"

"I'm so sick of your games! Why are you here? You're not going to find a wife if you keep locking up in your room! Didn't we tell you to go out and attend the annual gathering for marriages? You're not even trying!"

The woman grabbed him by the ear so firmly that her son groaned in pain. He slowly floated down, stepped onto the floor, and hunched slightly forward as his mother pinched and grabbed his ear.

"Ugh, ma! That hurts!"

"Shut up!"

Without a word, she dragged him out of his room and all the way to the throne room. It was quite an embarrassing sight—a hunk being dragged by a small woman. Their hurried footsteps echoed through the dark, eerie castle.

Upon arriving at the throne room, a man wearing a black tunic, who sat at the king's chair, quickly turned in their direction and watched their figures appear from the shadows. 

A laugh escaped his mouth at the sight. His heartily laugh caused the whole castle to rumble slightly, echoing throughout the dark, silent of the place.

"Hahahaha! Persephone, sweetie, stop dragging our son like that." He mused as he stood up from his throne and approached them, "Is this about him getting married?"

Persephone let go of his son and humphed, "Your son is already a hundred century years old, and he still hasn't given us a grandchild!"

Atticus rubbed his ear as he adjusted his reading glasses, "But ma—"

"Shut up! If you're not going to get married here in our realm, perhaps throwing you out to the human realm would help you find a wife."

"What...?"

Atticus' scarlet eyes widened in surprise. 

How long since his parents have been asking for a grandchild now? Was it before he failed his marriage to the Demon King's daughter? Or was it when he reached a thousand years old? But how old was he now? 

He couldn't remember the exact numbers, but he must be around a hundred century years old, as his mother said.

He was old, extremely old. So ancient, if you would say so. However, he had never, even once, gotten an interest in getting married, nor had he even once tried to go out to find a mate.

All he ever did was stay in his room and read. Their realm had been in complete peace for as long as he could remember. Wars had long gone and friendship among other domains was long-established. Their domain's council had even established a good partnership with their long-time enemy, the Hell domain.

He used to participate in war but unexpected peace had been developed. As a result, he had nothing to do. The only thing that interested him was reading and locking himself in his room.

This was the exact reason why his mother was fuming over him. He needed to find a wife so he could give them grandchildren.

It was back then when the Demons and Chthons conflict was still in blood-and-guts. Persephone became pregnant with her second child. However, she was gravely injured, putting both her life and the baby's at risk. With a heavy heart, her husband, Hades, chose to sacrifice their unborn child to save her. The injury left her unable to conceive again.

He sighed, already used to his mother's fuss over him getting married and having kids, "Mother, I'll find a wife eventually, there's no need to do that."

His mother had tried different threats but none of them ever come true, so he was confident that his mother would eventually calm down. He knew his mother wanted a kid as she could not conceive her own but, finding a wife he could choose of his own accord was a problem. 

His mother pressed her temple in frustration, "When was the last time you've said that?" she asked, her eyes glaring at him, "Find a wife eventually, your ass!"

Atticus swallowed in fright. His mother's rage was surely not going to be soothed by mere lies and promises this time.

"Now, sweetie, calm down." As her husband arrived at her side, he pulled her into a hug to calm her down. 

However, Persephone pushed him away and walked towards her throne. The clanking sounds of her sandals resounded through the whole room. She sighed loudly the moment she had slumped herself into her throne.

"I'm done with him, banish him from our realm, and don't get back here unless you have already chosen a bride and have kids."

Stupefied, Atticus went panicked, "H-hold on, ma...You're not serious, right?" 

But her mother only cast him a glare again. He shut his already-opened mouth and glanced at his father.

His father shrugged before he turned his back to him and strode back to his throne next to his wife.

Atticus followed behind him, his steps hurried as though he wanted to pull his father to face him.

"This is not right, you can't just cast me out—"

However, Hades raised his hand and clicked his fingers, and before Atticus could finish his sentence, a sharp shift of reality distorted his figure and almost immediately, a pure veil of darkness absorbed him whole before he completely disappeared.

Silence lingered for a while.

"Will he be alright though?"

Persephone leaned back on the back of her throne still in frustration over her son and turned to look at her husband, "Shut up, Hades, or I'll cast you out as well."

Silent quickly prevailed once again. Darkness loomed over the room as the couple sat on their throne. Nothing was heard, and the complete silence was almost deafening that it might drown them to insanity.

"I guess, we really do need grandchildren, huh."

The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[COMPLETE || WARNING: MATURE CONTENT 21+ // Watch Me Burn Them For You] "And if someday you see me, remember to forget my name, or karma will bow." **** For Awuor’s power, her people had done the unthinkable, in the history of werewolves. Her beta and brother, Dom, murdered their mother, the Sicario luna and blamed it on Awuor. In his grief, her father didn't bother to try and find out the truth, instead, for murdering her mother, he gave his daughter the worst punishment any alpha could ever get. He banished her from home, but Awuor’s wasn’t the usual banishment. Her father neither stripped her of the alpha title, nor did he make her a rogue. Instead, Alpha Sicario forced Awuor to be an exiled alpha, a woman so powerful, but with no one to rule over. Her mate, Jer, a power-hungry bastard, stepped up to rule the Sicario pack, since Awuor, the reigning alpha, was away, and Jer never once sought her out. Just like everyone else, he had betrayed her when he claimed a different woman, without rejecting Awuor. As the gates of Sicario closed on her, as her people watched her in disgust and disappointment, the daughter of Sicario had just one thought. A PROMISE of destruction & vengeance; she would ruin them all. *** [EXCERPT] "Either you're from the Dawson pack, the Bluemoon pack, or the Sicario pack, because you're definitely not from our Greyson pack. You must have done something really stupid for your alphas to banish you, even though you have no scent of the ferals. "So that could mean you're not a feral, but you're certainly not that important to your people. You seem to have an attitude and reek of power, that's why you don't appreciate anyone talking to you like a regular wolf. "But all of that doesn't matter right now, because you are the unwanted little wolf. The girl without a home, the rejected wolf who can't be claimed by anyone else. You're dressed in banana leaves because you have no clue how to make proper clothing on your own. "— or even check the feral cloth reservoir on the west of this forest. The fact that you have stayed so close to the other three packs is because you don't want to be away from home and are somehow hoping that they'd want you back. "Allow me to spell it out for you and make it easier for your probably useless brain to understand, little wolf, no one wants you. I'm only taking you to my alpha because your presence here is a nuisance to us, and for some reason, the alpha is interested in you. "And before you get any ideas about mates and whatnot, our alpha is already mated. So will you get up on your own, or do we have to take you stripped? Because I for one have no problem doing that. We could just treat you like the rogue that you're not," Adolf said to Awuor who still had her angry smirk on.

(BL)Alpha Made

The world is diverse and flourishing. Humanity has changed, and with it, brought in a new era of prosperity. Males and females still exist, but the spectrum from which humanity is cast has broadened. With the introduction of alpha, omega, and beta, humanity has evolved even further. In such a word, Dr. Andrew Knox, known environmental researcher, is happy being a beta male. It has made his life easier by being middle ground, and as much as some wish he was one way or the other, he’s happy being who he is. Thriving even. He works in a world renowned research facility. He makes friends easily, and his projects are always funded. He even found someone who he thinks he could end up marrying if things continue in the right direction. That, and the vacant house next to his apartment building gets bought by a new neighbour. A cute, but cautious omega who relies on Andrew as a beta for help. Andrew couldn’t be happier. He loves being a helper, and loves when people rely on him. All in all, Andrew really thinks he has everything made. That is, until a research project with shoddy data is thrown back into his face that he has no recollection of working on, and all of his reputation disintegrates in between one heartbeat and the next. Heartbroken, it isn’t until Andrew wakes up, chained to a wall that everything becomes clear. He becomes a test subject to one of the scientists that he trusted. That he expected would never harm him. The life he had known, where he was a respected researcher was ripped out from underneath him. His identity and everything he’s ever known is stolen from him from a crazed researcher who he had trusted, maybe even loved. He has to relearn who he is, what he is, from scratch. Thankfully, he has one person in his corner. He just never expected to have to rely on someone whose shoulders were so small. This is an a/b/o story, and will have those tropes associated with it. I hope you enjoy :)

Jock Next Bed (BL)

College was like a wake-up call for most people. Especially the likes of Christopher Owen, who spent the rest of his high school years messing around and pining for the boy he never had. Having had a frustrating high school year, he decided to dedicate himself to his studies in college.   He flew many miles away from home, changed his looks, and hid his real identity from everyone.  His plans were simple: study hard, pass well, no dating. But then he realized two things: life was anything but easy without the backing of his last name. And... he wasn't sure how long he could last before he jumped his roommate, who was obviously not gay. But lust wasn't love, right? Maybe he could indulge a little? Just a little, I promise. ***** EXCERPT: "THAT ARROGANT, GOOD FOR NOTHING, DEMONIC IDIOT! I HATE HIM SO MUCH!" "O-kay... what is going on?" A friend asked him, watching as he paced around the room he just entered. "After battling for a long time. A LONG TIME!" he breathed heavily before continuing, "I... I confessed to him today." The other sat up, eyes wide. "For real?" "And then... with that stupid lollipop in his mouth, he just looked at me and said Okay. OKAY!" Gasps. "I didn't even know people said "okay" to love confessions, but he said "okay" to me!" -- Meanwhile, while he was there panicking, the one who had been confessed to remained seated where he was in the room. He had not moved an inch from that position since he got confessed to. But if one looked closely, they would notice how red his face was, up to the tips of his ears. He suddenly chuckled to himself. "That idiot," he muttered, looking at the door the other had taken.
