"This is what happens when you try to take away what is ours," he whispered into my ear, causing me to shiver. "We'll strip you down, tie you up, and never let you go. You're our perfect little slave, aren't you?" ~ One gift. One threat. One stalker. And she lost everything. Emma had everything she could've wanted; A membership at the most exclusive BDSM club in the city, the sweetest best friend she could've ever asked for, and three devilishly handsome men with a talent for making all her desires come true-until he arrived. Hidden in the dark, in crowds, behind gifts and screens, he follows her, tracks her, watch her. Wanting her. Emma knew danger was stalking her, trying to take her away from everyone, but most of all from them. The first gift came with a warning, how many would she get before the warning became a threat? And a threat became a promise? Could she ignore the warning, or did she have to give away what her heart treasured the most? Or were the men she needed to run from the ones she should be running towards? ~ "You look perfect like this. All naked. All bound. All ours," one of them growled; the finality of his statement felt like a branding on my bare skin. I wanted the branding to sting, to burn-to forever keep me at my masters' side, like an invisible mark linking my life with their life. My soul with their soul. But I knew, nothing would ever be final as long as he was still there, lurking. Waiting. Wanting. This book contains steamy, erotic scenes, age-gap romance with multiple men, and filthy language. Two chapters will be posted 31. December at 12 PM (GMT), then one chapter every other day.

In this world, there are humans and there are those with...abnormal abilities. These abilities have been used for good, to form special units of police forces and legions of great saviors, internationally and locally...and have also been used to commit atrocities globally. Most abnormals lead double lives, or try their best to blend in with regular humans to hide and forget their abilities. Unfortunately, not all of society welcomes the abnormals with warm hugs and smiles. Shi was born the abnormal of all abnormals because before his birth, no one had fathomed the possibility of powers even remotely like his, making him an outcast and something to fear for everyone. Upon making the discovery shortly after his birth, humble Shinsetsu and Mai Keshin named him Shi, making his full name Shi Keshin - translating to "death incarnate". Despite first perceiving him as a horrible omen, his parents did their best to care for him and make him feel loved. Shi has lived a rough, eventful life. At just nine years old, he returned to his home in Japan after school to find the bodies of his parents, who had been gruesomely murdered hours before he arrived. He continued on after their deaths, with only his little brother left to accompany him...until nine years later, his little brother was killed by the very same man that killed his parents. With no hope left and a vengeful heart filled with sorrow, Shi will do ANYTHING he can to get revenge, no matter the cost. Be it the lives of others or the loss of his own humanity, he will stop at NOTHING to bring him to "justice". Failed by the heroic abnormals and highly respected by the dastardly ones, Shi will be the key factor in bringing forth a war like never before...and will serve as a messenger to make the world see the hypocrisy and failures of the heroes they depend on to protect them.
