The Beta Dominates Alphas

Kestrel was a beta, and an aggressive one that most folks didn't like much. The Empire had picked a future husband for her. This guy was pretty much perfect: born into a high-class family, good-looking, rich, nice, and the envy of everyone around. People were quick to start whispering. "Why did such a great guy end up with her? She can't even make tea right and she barely passed her cooking class." "He won't be able to put up with her for long." "Right, their love story is a train wreck waiting to happen." Hearing this stuff over and over, Kestrel started to think that she and her guy, Tarian, were doomed from the start. So, when Tarian showed up with a sweet and pretty girl, Kestrel pulled off her engagement ring and tossed it into the gutter. From that moment, Kestrel lived free and happy, like a bird soaring in the sky, a fish swimming in the wide ocean. But a few years into her easy-going life, at a royal shindig, Tarian cornered her. His eyes were all red, and he confessed that he was sorry for everything and that he couldn't stop thinking about her. But Kestrel, wild as ever, wasn't interested in going back to her old life. Tarian turned white, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't care what you're like, and I can handle your shortcomings. You won't find a more understanding alpha than me." "Well, I already have a new alpha." To totally shake him off, Kestrel made up a name on the spot. She quickly thought of all the alphas she'd met on the battlefield over the years, and chose the name of a buddy she was tight with, guessing he wouldn't mind. "He's a good listener, and we're a perfect fit. Plus, he really likes me and doesn't care about my mistakes." Right after a bummed-out Tarian took off, Kestrel turned around and smacked right into the guy she'd just made up. This guy, a real war hero who'd taken down tons of enemies, turned a bit pink, looked away, and muttered, "You... when did you figure out that I have a crush on you?"

The End

The top of the Tower was starting to melt, and chunks of stone were tumbling down from the walls. Loads of mutants started popping up inside the Tower.

Everybody who lived in the Tower was racing downwards. Everyone, that is, except for Ren. He was going against the crowd. To move faster, he was pretty much running straight up the walls. Most people rushing down just felt a quick breeze pass over them. By the time they looked up, the shadowy figure who had been running on the walls was already gone, like a shooting star in the sky.

The Tower was huge, made up of different layers, and each floor was as big as a small town. Even if you used a super-fast elevator, it would still take forever to get to the top.

Suddenly, two mutants jumped out from the dark corners, blocking Ren's way. But Ren didn't slow down. He just kept going, his black longsword slashing one mutant down, and his red blade of blood red slicing the other one in half.
