Thousands of centuries ago humans, vampires, and werewolves lived together in harmony, considering one equal to the other. Ruled by a council of three kings, with one from each fullblood race, peace endured for quite some time. All of it was destroyed when many years later the new vampire and werewolf kings both wanted to rule over the kingdom alone. A massive war broke out between the vampires and the werewolves and millions of lives were lost. In a last attempt to stop the war one hundred years later, the land was divided into three kingdoms, the vampires, humans and werewolves. The borders were shut, crossbreeding was forbidden since it created halfbloods and demons and each kingdom was led by the king of their respective race. In secret, however, it was decided that the human king would watch over them all to prevent another war from ever happening again. Since the human kingdom laid inbetween the other two, the humans invented technology to keep all the races at bay and trained the warriors of their army as skilled hunters. As time and generations went by, the kingdoms became more isolated and the common humans forgot that supernatural beings even existed. However, the war had never truly been resolved so the hatred that the vampires and werewolves had for each other endured. When a mysterious murder occurs, chaos breaks out within the kingdoms. A throne must be taken, blood must be shed, a choice must be made and all must be answered by a girl with purple eyes.

How long is a lifetime? For Luc, it stretches far beyond human reckoning. As punishment for a crime that shook the foundations of the world he once belonged to, he is now condemned to walk the earth among mortals. Luc has carved out a vast empire for himself through both respectable ventures and shadowed dealings, but none of it brings him peace. One rain-slicked evening, from the balcony outside his favored courtesan's room at the infamous Bessie's brothel, Luc watches a line of enslaved girls being dragged in. Among them, a girl with hair like the sunset and fire in her eyes is struck for resisting. Something ancient stirs within him. On a not-so-uncharacteristic impulse, Luc decides to buy her. ... Aida, stolen from a faraway land, is young, bruised, and burning with defiance. Her presence was never meant to matter, but soon she becomes more than a passing distraction and inconvenience to Luc. She cracks something long buried in his soul: a memory of grace, a glimpse of light, a pull toward something he thought lost forever. Forced to share a living arrangement neither of them truly understands, their constant clashes breed awkwardness, tension, unexpected moments of humor, and something more. Can two broken souls, worlds apart, save each other from the darkness they were never meant to endure alone? *This story is original fiction with Luc as the main character, set in an alternative Victorian era. It is intended to be the prequel/spin-off to 'Until The End Of Time', where Luc played a major part toward the end. Slavery is depicted.

-REWRITING- Twenty years ago, the angels descended and revealed themselves to the world, delivering what they called God's Judgment Day. The war that followed reshaped the earth and shattered the balance between species. When the dust finally settled, humanity wasn't wiped out - but they weren't free, either. Humans became little more than pets and servants, bound to their celestial masters under the new world order. For Kye, an ordinary girl just trying to survive and care for the family that still depends on her, life in this broken world means keeping her head down and following the rules. Serving her angelic employer isn't easy - especially when her heart begins to blur the lines between duty and something far more dangerous. It isn't perfect, but it's manageable. At least, until her adoptive sister Ruby asks for one small favor - the kind of favor that could destroy everything... 🏆Grand Winner of the Fanfiction Category in the NanoWatt 2024 @TheNanoWatt 🏆Fanfiction Category Winner in the Milestone Awards 2024 @YuHuaCommunity 🥇1st place in Fanfiction 18+ category of the Hot and Bothered Awards 2024 @gremlinsbookstash 🥈2nd place in Fanfiction/Oneshots of the Cinepolis Awards ✓ 2024 @_BLACKSPADESZ 🌸 Runner-up in Endearing category of The Seasonal Contests [3rd Edition - 2022] 🌸 @seasonal_contests *All Supernatural characters belong to CW.
