After uncovering a series of grisly murders, the Holy Church sends Seren to investigate one of their prime suspects; a mysterious dhampir named Lore Seymour. Although a seemingly kind man and wonderful father, Lore's life is a riddle overcome by tragedy that may or may not have come by his own hands. His actions are an enigma, often pushing Seren away while also dragging him closer. Through time spent together, Seren begins to see Lore, and his wacky family, in a different light. Could it be that the church sent Seren there to set Lore up? All that he has been taught by the church, who saved him from a gruesome fate, starts to sound like a lie, but the life of a paladin is all Seren has ever known. As suspicion fades and love blossoms, Seren's forced to test not only his faith, but also his entire purpose in life. Can he truly set aside his grievances against vampires to love that which he has been trained to kill? Warning: This story will dive into some troubling topics such as child abuse, spousal abuse, sexual assault, suicide, murder, drug use, manipulation, brain washing, and just over all bad. However, I keep the tone as light-hearted as I can and there will not be detailed scenes. I'll also leave warnings on chapters that contain triggers. *THIS IS NOT A PAID STORY! There is behind the scenes content that is purchasable, but not necessary to read. That's why there are some locked chapters, but the story itself is FREE ^_^ Artwork by mailanoooo on instagram

But the truth of the conspiracy Lewis has fought so long to expose might be deeper than he's prepared to face, and Lewis doesn't realize his crush was sent to kill him. On the surface, Samir Amari leads an unassuming life in the city. But to Manhattan's secret world of mobs, murder, and mayhem, he's Parrish Kane: an infamous hitman with powerful empathic abilities. He has a new contract: kill Lewis D'Angelo, make bank. But there's something different about this particular target--something special. Once their paths unexpectedly cross and Samir decides to take a more 'personal' approach, he soon has trouble deciding whether he wants to kill Lewis or kiss him. The only life Armen Mink has ever known is one in the spotlight. Under the thumb of his tyrannical billionaire father, nothing less than perfection is allowed. He's always been forced to choose between his obligations to the man responsible for Lewis's suffering, and Lewis himself. Despite their turbulent past, Armen wants to protect Lewis. But when his father sends a hitman to get rid of him for good, things complicate even further when Lewis unexpectedly begins dating the same man who's been hired to kill him. Now Armen may lose Lewis to Samir by completely different means--Something he's unwilling to simply roll over and accept.

Iliana Katrakis couldn't care less about the will of the gods, and she's certain they feel the same way about her. After all, it's rare for the god-touched to live normal lives--and that's all she wants. Having spent the last three years aboard the merchant ship Airlea, Iliana couldn't be happier. Sure, her best friend Kain is the only one who knows she's a girl, but it's a good life. The work is simple, and her shipmates are the closest thing to a family she has. Fate, however, is not on her side. A storm tosses the Airlea wildly off course. Within the day, she's stranded, alone and injured, on a foggy island known only as Inna's Cove. She's given a choice: become one of the islands' goddess blessed sirens and rescue her best friend, or take her chance with the monster-infested woods. The choice seems obvious. That is, until the mercenaries arrive. Their captain wants a siren--and not even the threat of the goddess' wrath will change his mind. **Cover by Morana
