Gone By The Wind

"I told you not to touch me," Audrey said. "In front of people," He reminded her. Audrey could feel the smirk in his voice. ~~~ Audrey's seventeen years in the Grey Blood pack were like a caged animal. She lived each day dreading the next unexpected thing the Alpha could punish her for. Audrey tried hard to understand the mysterious dream she'd been having, but nothing made sense to her, she was lost. She wished to be freed from the Grey Blood pack, but she lost all hope of survival when she found herself locked and chained in the cold dark dungeon. She hated him, she cursed him as her blood drained from her. She was happy to die and go away from that monster-alpha. Audrey awoke in a magical world where she learned everything about herself, she cultivated herself to become the strongest wolf and witch alive. One item though, led her back to the last place she wanted to be. Alpha Aloha Lake ruled the Grey Blood pack, the largest and strongest pack in the States.

But he could not kill her...yet. Alpha Lake emotionlessly stared at Audrey's bleeding body that lay on the cold dungeon floor, he ordered his beta to dispose of her without a second thought. One year later the enemies met again. Will hatred be the only emotion they share? Could they resist the fatal attraction they felt for each other?

Attack!!!!!!!!!!!” the leader screamed. All at once, eight of them rushed on him but fell to the ground lifeless. Carl straightened his face, his aura radiating out, and his eyes were like that of a wild beast hunting a prey at night. The red colour of his eyes shone in the darkness and the rest of the assassins couldn’t move a muscle out of fright. " Carl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Just give up, surrender and come out with your hands up. We have you completely surrounded. Give up and pay the price of your betrayal." Dean shouted. No sound could be heard. There was no fidgeting as they waited. No one moved. Many of them prayed within themselves that he would surrender, so that they would not have to engage in a fight with the Lazy General. Carl's might was well known and many stories exaggerated his conquest. Carl seethed with anger, he never, not even once betrayed the empire. His every battle and every effort was to the betterment of the empire. And here he was being accused falsely. " I must live to find out who is behind all this." He resolved.

In his efforts to eradicate the rebellious Nephilim, Livne Atniel the Skywrath Comforter accidentally created a crack in the Doldrio Plane, the barrier that separates Second Heaven from the universe below. Unbeknownst to him, there was a Nephilim who had been pretending to be dead among the corpses, and had been waiting for that moment. Before the crack in the barrier closed, the essence of the Nephilim left its body and fled to the lowest Universe, to a planet called Bastardia. Not wanting that last Nephilim to spread more heresy in Bastardia, Atniel was forced to go down there to hunt the said veil creature. The plan was, with the help of an angel, he would incarnate his essence into the body of someone who had just died. However, he was incarnated into the body of a young man named Irvine Donovan, who turned out to not actually be dead yet. The young man did try to commit suicide, but ultimately survived with Atniel trapped inside him. Now having trapped in someone’s body, how will Atniel complete the task of hunting down the renegade Nephilim, and save Bastardia from the apostasy it causes?

“P-please let me go..” I stammered and before I knew it, I was word vomiting while crying. “—I won’t return. You won’t ever see me again. I know you don’t want me as a mate. You hate me, so please let me go.” I cried out. Cain’s jaw tightened with each word that left my lips “What gave you the idea that you have the power to choose what you want?” His voice was low, “You don’t get to decide what, how, and when you leave. Only I get to do that. You don’t get to leave me, you don’t get to run! You only leave when I want you to.” "I didn’t ask for this,” I whispered, trembling. “I didn’t ask to be your mate.” Cain stepped back, “Neither did I,” he muttered under his breath. “But the bond doesn’t give us a choice, does it?” ~~~~ As the only child of her late Alpha father, Avery Jae was meant to inherit her family’s legacy. But on the day of her arranged marriage to Alpha Lucian, her world crumbles. Rejected, humiliated, and cast aside for her own cousin, Avery barely escapes with her life only to find out a much deeper secret. One that changes everything. When Avery awakens, she finds herself in a foreign land, caught by the ruthless guards of the Vehiron pack, led by the infamous Alpha Cain. Tall, broad and as dangerous as the army he commands. Alpha Cain has a reputation that sends chills down the spine of even the most dangerous warriors. Haunted by his dark past, he has vowed never to take a mate, yet the moment he lays eyes on Avery, everything changes. With a single word, Avery is bound to Cain—whether he wants it or not. In a world where betrayal runs deep, can Avery ever trust the alpha who might just be her worst enemy.

The MC transmigrates into Narutoverse in the body of a civilian orphan. Luckily for him, the transmigration results in chakra being unlocked. Follow the story of the MC as he grows in power and stabilizes himself into the world of ninjas and trains to be the strongest.  Warning :  1. The MC won't be op for a long time. All his power would be gained via hard work and training over years (so if u want an op mc right from the word go, this one ain't for you) 2. No harem (probably no romance either) 3. There will be a lot of killing (maybe gore too, not sure if I can do gore right though) 4. The story will start slow. Quite a few of initial chapters will be around training, orphanage and academy life, instead of directly becoming a Genin. 5. MC is a careful person, he won't put his life at risk unless there is no other choice. 6. I haven't read (nor will be reading) Baruto. So Baruto plotline won't be considered much in here. What to expect : 1. Smart and consistent MC  2. Lots of training 3. MC manipulating the plot to his advantage 4. A lot of original arcs.  5. Plot will mostly stay the same (at least till Shippuden), but I won't repeat any scenes/dialogues that took place in the manga (as I'm assuming you've already read it). Disclaimer : I don't own Naruto or its characters (except the original characters I create). The image used in the cover isn't mine and belongs to R. J PS : It's my first fanfic, I'm hoping it turns out good. All reviews and constructive criticisms are welcome. Grammar and English should be fine, but I'm not sure how good the dialogues and scenarios will be. Hopefully I'll improve as this fanfic progresses forward.

Long-distance relationships never work for her since she is the clingy sort, spoilt, and enjoys her lover's undivided attention. Additionally, she tends to be flirtatious, although her intentions have never been honest. She has a way of intriguing people and then leaving them once they develop stronger feelings for her. Since she travels a lot for her job as an air hostess, most of her past relationships find it difficult to be apart from her. That all changed when she encountered someone who was just as formidable. The most ignorant woman on earth, yet the most passionate lover. She's determined to make things work this time. Regardless of the distance, that woman belongs to her.

In a mythical realm, where the sun dipped into the horizon and painted the sky with hues of crimson and gold, ancient beings and creatures of myth and legend dwelled, hidden from mortal eyes. Athena, a wise and fearless woman with unyielding ambition and a heart full of wonder, found herself bound to a man she despised. Yet, she couldn't resist the inexplicable pull he had over her, like a moth drawn to a flame. His piercing gaze, his chiseled features, and his formidable presence all seemed to whisper secrets in her ear, secrets that only she could hear. Kaden, a man of unyielding discipline and meticulous planning, never intended to marry. His life was a masterpiece of control and precision, with every detail carefully orchestrated. But fate had other plans, and he found himself wedded to a woman he disliked. However, her presence stirred something within him, threatening to upend his carefully constructed life. The way she moved with grace, the way her eyes sparkled with mischief, and the way her smile could light up the darkest of rooms all seemed to awaken a part of him that he thought was long dead. As they navigated their tumultuous relationship, the air was charged with an almost palpable tension. It was as if the very fabric of their world was waiting with bated breath for the spark that would ignite a passion that would change everything. The trees seemed to lean in, as if listening to their whispers. The wind seemed to carry the whispers of their ancestors, urging them to surrender to their desires. In this world of magic and wonder, where the boundaries between reality and myth blurred, Athena and Killian found themselves bound by a force stronger than hate or duty. They were bound by a force that would stop at nothing to claim their hearts, a force that would change the course of their lives forever. ____________________________________________________ "We forge a love that conquers oceans, for our hearts were inscribed in stone, sealed by fate, and whispered by the stars."
