Hello everyone!

@ester-sears @caleb-e-king @jessi-rae @theinconceivable1 @selah-chelyah @parker @thewirelessblade @elizabeth

I am opening my book Finding You for Alphas. Because i want to be able to share my writing, and you will be helping me. Here is th first 500ish words to get you a little glimpse into the beginning of the book.

 

Prologue

I gripped the bars of the cell so hard my knuckles turned white.
I thought he had changed.
I thought he cared.
He did it.
The thing I never thought he would do.
I felt like I was in a haze.
The noise of chains met my ears.
He said he understood.
He helped me.
How could he?
I staggered and gripped the bars harder.
He said he would protect me.
That they were wrong.
But then they came.
The noise of the chains rattling came closer.
He didn’t say a word.
He didn’t try to stop them.
He let them take me.
My knees buckled and I fell to the ground.
He turned me in.
And now I’m going to die.

 

 

Chapter 1

“Hey! Girl! Stop where you are!”
His words brought me back to the real world, and I froze.
He walked over to me, which scared me, even more, when I saw he was a commander. He looked at me sharply. “What rank are you?”
I swallowed hard, “X.”
His expression got harder, and he glared down at me. “How dare you?! What are you doing over here?”
Looking up at him I felt very small and trembled a little not knowing what to say. I couldn’t say what it was, he wouldn’t understand the feeling of being starved when he gets a meal three times a day. I hesitated to answer.
He saw my hesitation and stepped closer to me, his voice low. “I said, what. Are. You. Doing. Here?!?”
Shaking in fright I said, “N-n-nothing, sir.”
“That’s what I thought.” He slapped me so hard in the face that it stunned me for a second. “Get back to work! NOW!” He barked, then walked off.

I stood shaking for a second then ran. Tears welled in my eyes the side of my face stinging as I kept running. I ran past the training buildings, past the houses of the soldiers I was a servant to, past the other boys who were sitting in a group probably planning some sort of mischief that involved hurting me. I ran past all that, and slowed as I came to an old abandon shed.
I looked at it for a moment, remembering him who lived there. Him that was the only thing that kept me going, the only person who put a little hope in me. He’s been gone for a year now, and so had my hope.
I bit my lip and started to walk around the shed. Against the back of it, was a little lean to. Just a big board leaning against the shed, stuff pilled behind it, and over the front, like a door, was an old dirty torn piece of curtain. I pushed it open and sat inside. This was home.

 

 

 

For me, what I want in an Alpha reader is someone who can read it, and give their opinion on how they like, or enjoy the story, or they can tell about Characters they like, or if the story flow well or not. I don’t want word, or grammar editing. You can give suggestions with comments on the story, but not the words.

If you would like to b an Alpha for Finding You reply back to this saying yes. And give me your email. On Monday i will make a Hangouts chat giving the doc, and for those of you that don’t have hangouts i will send out an email with the doc as well.

God bless you all!
