Holt Raymond

TheLastKingdom: Transmigrated w/ Proficiency System

USA, Louisiana.. a small town in north-east Louisiana.. if you see a little-bitty tiny dot with the name 'Oak Grove' beside it.. in the most north-east corner of Louisiana.. fifteen minute drive north.. and you' ve crossed into the state of Arkansas.. Or if you would have drove fifteen minutes east instead of north.. you would have crossed over the Mississippi-Louisiana state line.. so that gives you a pretty good general location of the town of my birth.. Unfortunately it wouldn't be the town of my untimely and unexpected death.. nope.. for I would not die in a town.. no.. I would be eventually crushed.. by a section.. of thirty-two inch.. steel.. heavy-wall.. industrial pipe.. for a natural gas line.. being lay'n.. from just north of the cities.. Odessa and Midland.. of the state of Texas.. Over a thousand miles away from my place of birth.. Bastrop.. Louisiana.. where the closest 'safe' hospital was for me to be born at.. forty miles west.. by north-west from where my family had lived for generations.. Oak Grove.. My family has worked as surveyors.. for pipelines and gas or oil facilities.. being built all across this great country on the continent of North America.. for atleast two generations.. If my children take up the mantle.. that would make.. three generations of my family.. to feed and provide for their families.. working as pipeline surveyors.. see Oak Grove is poor.. poor as dirt.. total population.. barely over two thousand.. average gross income per capita per family for a year.. less than ten thousand dollars a year.. there's just no real paying jobs.. in Oak Grove or anywhere near it.. so while the people who choose to work in Oak Grove make ten thousand dollars a year.. I started out as a 'rod-man' which was the lowest man on the 'totem-pole'.. making what those in Oak grove..worked a year for.. I made in a month.. I did nothing but pack bundles of wooden stakes.. then carry them up the mountains of West Virginia.. Or across the deserts of West Texas.. swamps of south Louisiana.. down around Baton Rouge.. or Tibbedaux.. the Everglades of Florida.. fuck I get that nauseous feeling every time I think of when I 'work'd' there.. I walked up on a dead body without a head.. not long after that.. still on the same project I saw the 'headless' corpse on.. I almost stepped on the biggest python I've ever seen.. the fucker was atleast ten feet long and two to three feet wide around.. Anywho, back to what I was talking back before I went off subject for a bit.. I started out making ten thousand dollars every month.. thats twelve times what I would have earned working a month in Oak Grove.. instead of working in these dangerous jobs.. Been a lot of dangerous places.. dangerous terrains.. working in a very hazardous career.. but I was well paid like I said.. and now I don't have a body left to send home to my parents.. that section of pipe.. weigh tens of thousands of pounds.. when the 'Komoda' excavators that were lifting the section tipped.. that was it.. one of the operators didn't extend his 'boom' on his excavator all the way out like he should have.. Now the pipes falling.. as soon as it lands on me.. thats it.. so much weight.. my head will pop and shoot right of my shoulders.. up in the air towards the heavens themselves.. reaches its peak height of its short flight.. then falling.. all whilst my body will be crushed and explode to nothing but splatter'd meat paste.. ending my first life.. trust I've seen it.. I know what will happen from experience.. and so beings the next chapter of life.. I see a tunnel with bright light radiating from then end of it.. as I reach the light I take the final step.. the blinding light recedes and fades away out of existence.. I find my surroundings returning to a lightness that my eyes can afford to see clearly in.. only to meet another pair of eyes facing me.. everything else is shrouded by darkness.. I see only eyes.. staring at me.. staring into me.. starin

Pampered by my Billionaire CEO Husband

Aurelia Holt had quietly sacrificed her career to be a stay-at-home wife for her husband, Blake Carson, so that he could work full time while also pursuing his dream of becoming a successful producer in the future. But on the night of their second wedding anniversary, she watched her husband come home with another woman in his arms. It was Stella, his first love whom he was never really over. “She is already upset, you don’t have to make her feel worse. Is it wrong to show care and concern for my friend?” He argued as he clenched his jaws and kept his gaze steady on my face. “She isn’t just your friend, she was your ex, your first love. And isn’t it so convenient that everytime she needs you or something happens whenever I just want to spend some time with you?” He had always chosen Stella over her, putting her needs and feelings above hers. And that night, she finally had enough. “All you ever care about is Stella!” I continued to yell so loudly that I could practically hear my voice ringing in my ears. “You always do this! You always choose her over me, you always put her feelings above mine.” I watched as a smirk tugged at Stella’s lips as she watched me argue with my husband over her. Blake walked to her side, wrapping his arm around her as she curled her fingers around his arm with a pitiful look. “Stop yelling, you are scaring Stella. Why can’t you be more understanding and stop being so self-centered? Not everything is about you!” The last thing she remembered was her running out into the pouring rain and the next thing she knew, she was asking a stranger to marry her. That stranger was Xavier Wilder, the billionaire CEO of one of the most successful companies in the country. But there was more to him that Aurelia didn’t know just yet, something he was hiding from her. Together, she vowed to make her ex-husband’s life a living hell. There were only two things he cared about the most―his reputation and his ego. And she planned to destroy it all, bit by bit.

Karneval: Vom gestörten Alpha-Prinz beansprucht [BL]

Von der Flucht um deine Sicherheit und der Einschreibung in eine Schule voller Psychopathen ... bis zur Inanspruchnahme durch einen geistesgestörten Alpha-Prinz? Ja, du bist tot besser dran. - . - Jules' Leben war perfekt, bis seine gesamte Familie plötzlich ermordet wurde und er der einzige Überlebende war. Ein Retter sprang ein, weil er immer noch in großer Gefahr schwebte, und das führte dazu, dass Jules eine neue Identität annahm und über Nacht zu einem völlig anderen Menschen wurde - und sich bei Carnivals einschrieb, einer angesehenen Schule für übernatürliche Wesen, die nur aus Jungen besteht. Auf Carnivals lauern Monster in den dunklen Gängen, und die Starken machen Jagd auf die Schwachen. Entweder wird man zum Raubtier oder zur Beute... und ein Blick auf Jules - ein Junge, der zu hübsch ist, um gut zu sein, mit einem schlanken und zierlichen Körperbau - machte klar, dass er von den Raubtieren bei lebendigem Leib gefressen werden würde. Hier kommt Blaze, ein Wolf, der jedem Raubtier in der Schule einen Schauer über den Rücken jagt, ein wahnsinnig heißer Alpha, der genauso gefährlich und gestört ist, wie es die Gerüchte behaupten. Er warf einen Blick auf Jules und entschied auf der Stelle, dass Jules zu ihm gehörte. *** Ich wich einen Schritt zurück und meine Augen weiteten sich noch mehr, als mein Blick auf das Grinsen fiel, das seine Lippen umspielte. Blaze lächelte nie, und wenn er es tat, bedeutete es nie etwas Gutes. Mein Herzschlag beschleunigte sich, als ich noch mehr nach hinten kletterte und mein Atem stockte, als er begann, den Abstand zwischen uns zu verringern. Im Handumdrehen war ich mit dem Rücken an die kalte Wand gepresst, und da wurde mir klar, dass ich in die Enge getrieben und gefangen war, wie eine echte Beute... von keinem Geringeren als Blaze, als ich dachte, dass mein Leben nicht mehr schlimmer werden konnte. Er überragte mich mühelos und strahlte so viel Dominanz aus, dass ich meinen Kopf nach hinten neigen musste, um in seine dunklen Augen sehen zu können, und mein Atem stockte, als sich unsere Blicke trafen. Er beugte sich vor, und ich schloss sofort die Augen, während ich den Atem anhielt und darauf wartete, dass er zuschlug. Ich hatte all die schrecklichen, endlosen Gerüchte über ihn gehört. Er war ein Alpha-Prinz, in dessen Gegenwart sich jemand wie ich niemals aufhalten sollte. Als ich spürte, wie seine kalte Nasenspitze über meine Kehle glitt, öffnete sich mein Mund und ich stieß ein erschrockenes Keuchen aus. Er holte einen langen, hörbaren Atemzug, und ich spürte, wie mir ein Schauer über den Rücken lief, während ich noch steifer wurde und die Verwirrung meinen Verstand vernebelte. Was geschah hier? Warum tat er das aus heiterem Himmel? Oh mein Gott... er war wirklich ein gestörter Alpha, wie alle sagen! *** DIESES BUCH IST AB 18 JAHREN FREIGEGEBEN! Es enthält ausgereifte Inhalte wie: - Mobbing. - Drogenkonsum. - Schweinereien [eine ganze Menge davon]. - Gewalt. - Harem [nicht zwischen den Hauptfiguren]. Also... mit Vorsicht vorgehen, ihr wurdet gewarnt! *Ich besitze nicht die Rechte an dem Cover!
