*****THIS STORY IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING A MASSIVE REWRITE - FINAL WORK IS CURRENTLY BEING POSTED AS A NEW STORY ON MY PAGE - UPDATES SPORADIC ***** "You can't tell me there isn't something here worth risking everything for." [New Adult Apocalyptic Romance] Summary: Most of the population is dead, some have turned into vicious, crazed creatures who want nothing more than to eat you, and a small percentage are left to try to survive. Nothing is the way it was. With not much more than a pistol and a vague idea of what she's doing, Claire Harrington ventures out into this new, unforgiving world with only one real goal: to keep her younger sister safe. The odds are against her, until she runs into Parker and finds herself reluctantly accepting his offer to help. Trust is a fragile thing. Humanity is a construct. Love is a weakness. But these are the thoughts of a survivor, and she's beginning to wonder if surviving is all she wants. Maybe she wants to live.

"Get the fuck out of my house!" my dad shouted. "Gladly. But, before I go, I have just one thing to say; you've never been a good father. You've always treated Poppy and her mother like absolute shit." "You know nothing about being a father, you little prick!" "Yeah? Well, your innocent little girl calls me daddy when I fuck her from behind, so that's close enough for me," Knox spat before hauling me out of my seat and leaving. *** Ever since Poppy Nicole was little, she's been a shy girl with a heart of pure gold. Her innocence is glaringly obvious and she has nothing but the best intentions for everyone on her mind. Everyone has always loved the sweet-minded girl.

But then life takes a turn for the worst as the devil himself shows up unannounced to their dorm just as the girls are unpacking their belongings.

"I hated him. He hated me. We hated each other but all that didn't matter because my wolf craved him. My wolf shuddered by the mere thought of him. He was the darkness that drew me." Lorena Stone, the Alpha's daugher meets her fate the day she runs away from the altar to save her father from being killed by a vengeful pack. Against all reason she goes into uncharted territory to prevent her father's death because if anyone could, it was her. Little did she know that the only person in the world that was stronger than her, the only person that could tame her was Maxwell Emiliano; her mate. The man who held her father's life in his hands. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ ~Excerpt~ "You don't have me and you never will!" I insist, anger building up within me as we locked eyes, his body hovering over mine "This is a good proposition! Consider it!" "I don't have your love. Your love is the only thing you can actually offer me that I do not have but that is one thing I do not want and something I know you will never be able to actually give me." He pauses, our eyes meeting more intensely and tension building even further. I was enraged but not only with anger.. "As for your body, if I wanted it, I could take that." He leaned into me, his lips grazing my ear as he whispered "I don't want you. Why? Because I actually have you. You just don't know it yet." ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Cover by: CelineInLove

Yet no matter the fire in her eyes, she was just another commoner who would always remain beneathe him, he just needed to her remind her of her place. And in Eres, he wanted her gone.

[COMPLETED] |Disclaimer| *This book is gonna be more romance than mafia *Contains smut/sexual scenes *If any translations are wrong, don't hesitate to let me know. I don't speak the language. *** Finding out the day before annual mafia ball, Liliana knows she has to leave. Or at least try to... Liliana Romano, a 17 year old woman, is thrown into a marriage with Sebastian Di Salvo, a man who only wants to marry her because she's a pawn in his little game. Sebastian Di Salvo, a 20 year old man, thought that this marriage would be easy and she'd be like all the other women, quiet and obedient, but who knew he'd be in for a hell of a ride! *** "Put the gun down," Sebastian said calmly as he stood in front of me, still in his wedding suit. "Fuck you!," I hissed out as I bunched my wedding dress in my hand, making sure to keep the gun pointed at him. "You've barely been here for an hour and you're already pissing me off," he said, starting to get frustrated. Suddenly, I pressed down on the trigger. I watched as the bullet flew past his head, just skimming his ear, exactly how I had expected it to. He didn't flinch. My eyes moved up to meet his. His chest heaved up and down as his fists were clenched together. His jaw was locked as he glared at me, clearly with murder on his mind. My murder. Oh shit. *** Deep down, even she knew that the beast was once a human. He knew that his angel had once had her own personal hell. 'Everything means nothing without her.'
