The Lost Alpha

"Kathryn tapped his shoulder all troubled. Still, there was no reaction from him. Kathryn kept on calling him out continuously before he finally places the hand down, and open his eyes.

She saw a flicker of his eyes that was red for a second immediately he opened them.

'Geeez what was that?' Kathryn mumbled inwardly as fear absorbed her whole body.

"Good night!" Desmond hastily hopped into his car and drove away when he saw the look on her face and sense that, something is not right.

After he left, she stood there for a couple of minutes fretting about what she saw a while ago."

************************************


After a thousand years, during the fifth red full moon, a pregnant woman gave birth to the number one most powerful red werewolf (Alpha) with a mark of the crown on his left shoulder for identification. His reign would bring unification to all descendants of werewolves and put an end to the evil one all over.

He was born alongside his guardian angel in a different city on that exact day.
They grew up to meet as sworn enemies working in the same Establishment.
According to Prophecy, the guardian would be the one to guide and direct him in his quest and also form a part of his destruction as he became very comfortable in the hands of the enemy...

Luca, the next Alpha of the Silvertail Pack left his family, friends and pack behind to escape an arranged mating his father (the current Alpha) had agreed to. His best friend Nate, and future Beta, chose to follow by his side showing that his loyalty was to Luca. When they cross their former pack's border, they slowly discover that what they were raised to believe was all a bunch of lies. Now, lone wolves with no pack and no one else to rely on, must trust their instinct with a little guidance from the moon goddess to discover their true path that she had chosen for them before they were born. It will not be an easy path and will be an ultimate test of their friendship, but they each must choose if they want to stay the course, or part ways when they learn who they really are and what they are meant to be. Either way, their former pack must pay for what they did.

I can feel my legs hurting as I kept on running, rushing out of the woods I once considered as my safe place. I can't stop. I can't let them catch up on me. I can't let those same creatures that killed my Nona, kill me too. She told me to live, and so I will. But seeing the hypnotizing beauty of the moon, I can't help but stop and adore its magnificence. It's beauty is commanding me to stare, and so I gazed at it. But from the corner of my eye, I can see the same creature approaching. But instead of feeling fear, calmness rushed over my body as I gaze at a pair of golden eyes, so different from the cold blue ones that killed my Nona. Seeing those golden eyes, suddenly the Moon doesn't look as magnificent anymore, because it is those pair of golden eyes that matters more...

Magnetic Fusion Energy: From Experiments to Power Plants is a timely exploration of the field, giving readers an understanding of the experiments that brought us to the threshold of the ITER era, as well as the physics and technology research needed to take us beyond ITER to commercial fusion power plants. With the start of ITER construction, the world’s magnetic fusion energy (MFE) enterprise has begun a new era. The ITER scientific and technical (S&T) basis is the result of research on many fusion plasma physics experiments over a period of decades. Besides ITER, the scope of fusion research must be broadened to create the S&T basis for practical fusion power plants, systems that will continuously convert the energy released from a burning plasma to usable electricity, operating for years with only occasional interruptions for scheduled maintenance. Provides researchers in academia and industry with an authoritative overview of the significant fusion energy experiments Considers the pathway towards future development of magnetic fusion energy power plants Contains experts contributions from editors and others who are well known in the field

MEET LUPE SANCHEZ A 24 YEAR OLD GIRL WHO HAS BEEN TAKING CARE OF HER YOUNGER SISTER MARIA SINCE THEIR PARENTS DIED IN A CAR ACCIDENT 6 YEARS EARILIER, SHE WAS BABYSITTING HER SISTER WHEN SHE GOT THE CALL ABOUT THEIR PARENTS DEATH SHE WAS ONLY 18 AND HER SISTER 10 BUT SHE TOOK FULL RESPONSIBILITY OF TAKING FULL CUSTODY OF HER SISTER BUT WHAT DOES DESTINY HACE IN HOLD FOR HER. MEET ZEUS MARTINEZ THE ALPHA OF THE BLACK MOON PACK WHO HAS BEEN LOOKING FOR HIS MATE SINCE HIS 16TH BIRTHDAY TO NO LUCK, ONE DAY HE GOES TO VISIT HIS COUSIN AT HIS COMPANY ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT HIS MATE IS HIS COUSINS SECRETARY. THEY GO OUT ON A DATE THAT ENDS UP WITH THEM MATING, THE FOLLOWING MORNING HE HAS TO LEAVE AND HELP HIS PACK WITH A ROUGE ATTACK WHERE HE ENDS UP GETTING HIT HARD HE ENDS UP IN COMA ONLY TO WAKE UP AND NOT REMEMBER MEETING AND MATING WIHT HIS MATE, THE QUESTION NOW IS WHAT WILL HE DO WHEN HE SEES HER AGAIN BUT NOT ALONE. FOLLOW THEIR STORY AND FIND OUT WHAT DESTINY HAS ON HOLD FOR LUPE AND HER SISTER, WHAT WILL HAPPEND WHEN SHE MEETS ZEUS FOR THE FIRST MEET. WHAT WILL THE UPS AND DOWNS DO IN THEIR LIFES AFTER THEY MEET, WHAT WILL HAPPEND WHEN ZEUS DOESNT REMEMBER LUPE AFTER HE WAKES UP FROM COMA. WHAT HAPPENDS WHEN HE FINDS HER AGAIN BUT NOT ALONE, HOW WILL HE REACT OR ACT INFRONT OF HER. WILL SHE STAY AND LSITEN TO HIM OR WILL SHE RUN FROM HIM, WILL SHE LET HIM NEAR HER AGAIN OR WILL SHE FORBIT HIM FROM COMING ANYWHERE NEAR HER.

This book of proceedings collects the papers presented at the Workshop on Diagnostics for ITER, held at Villa Monastero, Varenna (Italy), from August 28 to September 1, 1995. The Workshop was organised by the International School of Plasma Physics "Piero Caldirola. " Established in 1971, the ISPP has organised over fifty advanced courses and workshops on topics mainly related to plasma physics. In particular, courses and workshops on plasma diagnostics (previously held in 1975, 1978, 1982, 1986, and 1991) can be considered milestones in the history of this institution. Looking back at the proceedings of the previous meetings in Varenna, one can appreciate the rapid progress in the field of plasma diagnostics over the past 20 years. The 1995 workshop was co-organised by the Istituto di Fisica del Plasma of the National Research Council (CNR). In contrast to previous Varenna meetings on diagnostics, which have covered diagnostics in present-day tokamaks and which have had a substantial tutorial component, the 1995 workshop concentrated specifically on the problems and challenges of ITER diagnostics. ITER (the International Thennonuclear Experimental Reactor, a joint venture of Europe, Japan, Russia, and the United States, presently under design) will need to measure a wide range of plasma parameters in order to reach and sustain high levels of fusion power. A list of the measurement requirements together with the parameter ranges, target measurement resolutions, and accuracies provides the starting point for selecting a list of candidate diagnostic systems.

Nuclear fusion is a process in which two nuclei join, forming a larger nucleus and releasing or absorbing energy. With some exceptions, nuclei lighter than iron release energy when they fuse, while heavier nuclei absorb energy; this is because iron has the largest binding energy. Nuclear fusion of light elements is the energy source which causes stars to shine and hydrogen bombs to explode. Nuclear fusion of heavy elements is part of the process that triggers supernovae. Nuclear fusion as an energy source has several advantages: It is vast, new source of energy; Fuels are plentiful; Inherently safe since any malfunction results in a rapid shutdown; No atmospheric pollution leading to acid rain or "greenhouse" effect; Radioactivity of the reactor structure, caused by the neutrons, decays rapidly and can be minimised by careful selection of low-activation materials. Provision for geological time-span disposal is not needed. This book brings together leading research in this field which will play a major role in the 21st century.
