This is an AU version I came up with a while ago. I shared it with KitKat12 who re-wrote her hobbit fic into and adaptation of the 'Alpha' Culture. I still used my same OC Alicia but with different background of course. It starts out kinda fast paced in the first few chapters just so we can establish the backstory. I also have been writing these chapters in a another program that does not point out my mispellings, so I might have missed some. I want to use this story to help improve on my 'fluff/humor/intimate genres' in the future. But of course there will still be action and drama parts no doubt.

Prologue

Three woman tore through the woods, panting and breathing heavily as they ran. They jumped, swerved and quickly picked themselves up if they ever tripped, not daring to look back or stop. Heavy pounding footsteps echoed behind them, spurring them into the chase.
the blonde haired lady shook her head, tears streaming down her face as she tried her best to ignore the new voice in her head. " stop running from me. Come to me. Sate me and I will keep you satisfied." From a bite on her neck, blood trickled down. however it wasn't from the teeth, as those open wounds had healed over already. the blood came from her own nails as she lawed at the mark to try and remove it in some act of desperation.
"No! Leave me alone!" she cried as she ran. One hand raised to swipe at her neck bite.
Behind them, A dark green scaled dragon, much like a komodo dragon chased after her. with him came a black bear and a cougar all running alongside each other after the women. Their sizes were abnormally big for their species. Their eyes, gleamed with the thrill of the chase.
The three womens' eyes on the other hand, were wide with fear. The brunette on the right yelped suddenly as she saw the cougar had caught up with them, running alongside them with a wide grin. on the other came the Black bear and from behind the reptile. They teased the women's efforts in trying to split up and run faster until they grew bored and pounced at them. The animals tackled the females to the ground as they screamed and clawed at the dirt to escape or kick and swing at the monsters. The animals laughed as they held them still in their grasps. the blonde shook with fear under the reptile's claws. His head lowered down to hers, tongue sliding out to lick at her bared neck and cheek.
" Come now lassie. I wish only to love you." The komodo dragon purred in her mind. " Surely you know by now you need not fear me so."
she shook her head and batted at the lizard's face. "Stop it! I do not want you! leave us alone you monster!"
The reptile hissed and pressed down on her a little more. " Every woman wants to be loved. Submit to me and this will be much easier." He glanced down at her. " Submit to me and I will please you."
The woman gasped at the added pressure yet it wasn't enough to limit her air, just a slight extra weight that subdued her efforts to escape. Corded muscle rolled above her and she closed her eyes to ignore it.
"Stop struggling woman." the reptile growled more forcibly in her head. " You are mine." every time she would put up a fight to the best of her abilities, sometimes she fainted from her efforts, sometimes she had no choice but to give up. The komodo above her was an alpha. The bear and cougar two of his betas, and she was his omega. Tears sprung in her eyes as she still tried to get away, not able to even budge and inch from him until his presence seemed to bear down on her, physically and mentally, urging her to obey his will. Finally she could struggle no more. Above her, the reptile's clawed front foot shifted to the form of a large hand. It lifted from her shoulder to caress her cheek and jaw hinge. " Good Lassie." His real voice, husky in tone purred, dark eyes falling on her. He leaned down to nuzzle and kiss at her neck, working his way up to her lips and nibbling at her ear. He licked at the tears that escaped down her face.
A gasp escaped one of the other brunette's as her captor grinded against her and nibbled at her neck. The other girls had whimpered or cried under the shifted bear's and cougars' touch. The blonde's body scooted up and down against the friction of the body above her. Under the constant attention of his caresses, fondling and growling or purring voice, her fearful whimpers turned to desperate anger as she wanted to get away, then with more time they began to turn into moans of pleasure under the foreplay. her knuckles brushed into his long thick beard as he kissed her hand. " So much fire ye have. Tis no better joy than to have such a strong lass. Makes it all the more fun." He chuckled above her.
The woman made no response. She had already said every curse or beg she knew by heart. There was nothing left to say really, though she had made a promise to herself to keep fighting to escape whether he enjoyed it or not, whether it killed her or not.

Chapter 1- The Island

The streets were alive with people. Music filled the air in the town square. Merchants called out their wares. wagons rode by or people just went for a walk. Large gears and machinery rotated, clicked or blew steam as they worked to run the city. Cobblestone streets clicked under the boots and heels of patrons walking about. Street signs blew or rotated in the wind, identifying streets and businesses.
One girl walked down these streets. Her half skirt, knee length in front and calf length in the back, billowed in the gentle breeze. Dressed in the typical fashion that humans liked to wear, she strolled down the streets weaving around other citizens. Silver ear cuffs on her ears, hair in a half pony tail, hip chains adorned with charms swaying at the side, a black jacket that had buckles on it in the style of a straight jacket, she wore a tank top and a half length vest over it. Her strides carried her swiftly towards the apartment complex that her friends were also gathered. They were hanging out at her old school friend's apartment, located at the last building in the back corner that overlooked an open fairway and large river view. She grinned to herself, purple eyes gleaming with her mirth as she stopped at a door and knocked.
It was opened by her friend. His dreads swayed at the bob of his head. " Alicia, good to see you." He wore his favorite red jacket, elbow long gloves and baggy pants.
"Hey Jeremy. How are ya?" She smiled at him as they hugged.
" Doing pretty good. Michelle's in the kitchen with Lonnie fixing some snacks." Jeremy answered as he closed back the door behind her. The two went into his kitchen where sure enough, there was Lonnie, dressed in black and silver like that of a ringleader at a grand circus, top hat askew on his head as he smirked and patted his large belly. Michelle poured cheese blocks on a serving tray. She dusted her knee length dress of intricate laces and matching corset. Long boots adorned her feet. She smiled as Alicia walked in. " Welcome back."
"Suuup?" Lonnie greeted after her stealing a few cheese blocks.
Michelle offered an apple soda drink that was popular amongst the younger generations to Alicia who took it thanking her. " How's work going?"
"Going good. It's work. So off and on." She answered as she took a sip.
"Do you still plan on going camping on the opposite side of the river?"
"Yeah. Ya'll still coming?"
"Well I think we should pick another place." Jeremy added his two cents.
"Why's that?"
Jeremy tapped on the edge of his glass idly as he spoke. " There's been some report about missing people over there." He watched Alicia as he spoke completely unsurprised at her unimpressed expression. " At least let's pick some other location."
"Alright, fine, how about the north island chains instead of the east? and We'll bring some security just in case?" Alicia offered.
" How about we don't go at all over the river? Why don't we go to the beach coast instead?" Lonnie smirked
No one was entirely impressed with either Alicia's nor Lonnie's idea at the moment, so they decided to settle it by weighing all the pros and cons of both ideas and vote. Since the threat of too much sand getting everywhere was not very alluring, they decided to try out her idea, but the moment they started feeling uncomfortable or heard odd sounds they were leaving again.
It was either that or spend the time up at the training grounds practicing their defensive training or horse back riding or whatever else they could get into. They made it a point to have these days off and free so they could hang out, might as well use it.
"Tomorrow we'll leave early so we can get a good head start. How's that sound?" Alicia suggested as she grabbed her bag to go change into sleeping clothes. Everyone was bunking at Jeremy and Michelle's apartment.
They made sure everything was packed and ready to go, then wore themselves out with practicing at the back of the building. Lonnie favored his rapier and dagger, but he recently bought a crossbow and everyone took turns with it.
Jeremy favored the shield and sword and especially enjoyed challenging Lonnie as they traded trash talk too.
Michelle and Alicia practiced with their staff and twin swords, though Michelle had the longer reach, but Alicia was a little faster at times with her double broad swords.
In the large city called Zephyr in The Sundering Sea, boys and girls were encouraged to learn a wide set of skills, at least the basics of everything before they chose a specific craft that they liked such as defensive training, house maintained, basic building and politics. Only Jeremy really stuck with military training.
the Island itself, was inhabited really only by humans, animals and their plant life. It had been this way for so many centuries that any other intelligent species besides humans slipped into myths and fairy tales. History tells that long ago, the first humans to settle the large island were from Middle Earth and fled it in the First Age to avoid wars and danger. As far as they knew, creatures like orcs, trolls, goblins and wargs had long gone extinct. Now they deal with only native dangers. Here people thrived and found more time to practice their crafts. For that, the island was very different looking than middle earth, as humans from all over middle earth had migrated here, started families and are practically a whole different ethnicity. The town had developed more, some places were beach houses on stilts, near the center of the island the cities were cobblestone, built and designed by architects and artists working together for a new style of their own.
Generations later, the island had developed into it's own country. Having faded from the history of Middle Earth, and Middle earth fading from their own history. Today the Islanders have lived on the island of Zephyr Island for generations.

Yes, relatively short chapters too. Like I said, the first few chapters will be more fast paced so that we can get to the main story.
Anyway, I really hope to be adding more to this so long as I can make time to write! Thanks for reading.
