Psychological Horror and Slow-burn Dark Romance. 18+ --------------------------- It's been five years since that fateful Friday night. I remember it like it was yesterday. The night I was kidnapped. I was held against my will. Tortured. Starved. Broken apart, piece by piece. All in the name of "curing" me. He didn't just steal my freedom. He rewrote the rules of pain, of fear - and then, somehow, of love. If you'd told me I'd fall for the man who ruined my life, I would've laughed in your face. But reality doesn't always follow logic. He's given me this journal and I'm going to write my story. This is my truth. My confession. My war cry. Because what he did to me deserves to be known. --------------------------- THIS BOOK CONTAINS TRAUMATIC CONTENT! TRIGGER WARNINGS: Kidnapping, assault, systemic abuse, mentions of Domestic Violence and childhood trauma, phobias, blood and gore, body horror, and mental illnesses including severe psychosis. READER DISCRETION IS STRONGLY ADVISED! --------------------------- Original: 2023-2024 Rewrite: Feb 2025 to Jan 2026 Vaguely inspired by: Fear by Lovelyseok.

A witch with dormant powers. A vampyr imprisoned for centuries. A destiny that could save or doom them both. Viola never meant to awaken him. One accidental spell, and she unleashes Matic-an exiled half-demon vampyr with eyes like winter's edge and a voice that drips temptation and damnation. He's not just a creature of the night-he's centuries of rage wrapped in lust, betrayal, and something far more dangerous: purpose. Now marked by fate and hunted by those who fear Matic's return, Viola finds herself tethered to the one being whose very presence makes her skin burn with warning-and want. Because Matic doesn't just promise protection. He offers oblivion. As Samhain nears and the veil between realms thins, ancient blood rites begin to stir. Devoted worshippers rise to complete broken rituals, shadows hunger for their master's return-and Viola begins to unravel, drawn deeper into the magnetic pull of a monster who doesn't just haunt her... he claims her. And when truths buried in ash rise from the grave, Viola must face the one question that could shatter her: Is the real danger the demon beside her... or the darkness awakening within her? Tropes: Enemies to Lovers, Forced Proximity, Reincarnation, Villainous Crush, Magical Dependency

Sequel to Dark Sand FAYE Dominic opened the lid of the glass coffin and leant over me. I pulled back, worried he might kiss me but he grabbed the corner of the duct tape on my mouth and pulled it off without mercy. "Hmmgh," I groaned in pain, then snarled at him. "You're still a fucking psycho, I see." "And you're still a foul-mouthed brat." He reached in and grabbed me by the collar, lifting me to my feet so I was eye level with him. "Good, or this wouldn't be any fun." DOMINIC I covered her with a duvet and got into bed. I took my clothes off first, allowing myself that at least, being able to press my body up against hers as I cradled her head in the crook of my arm. I listened to her breathing, felt her pulse beneath my lips as I kissed her neck goodnight. She used to snore lightly whenever I'd been particularly energetic and whimper if I left her side in the night. "No losing you this time, little pixie," I whispered to her as I held her closer. "I'll clip your wings if I have to, but you won't be leaving me again. Not this time." ---------------------- Five years after Faye Fairfaw tactically took everything from Dominic Sand - and more than he thought it was possible to lose - Dominic finds that his need for her is more complex than he thought. And burying himself in the world of kink-and-famous with a new business partner hasn't been the distraction it promised. So, when his new "hobby" isn't as in control as he had hoped, the only thing left for him to do is to ask for help from the only other thing in his life he had lost his control over... her. Never a man to sacrifice efficiency in his work, it also presents the perfect opportunity to have his long planned revenge on Faye and punish the little brat for defying him. Sand can indulge himself and his fantasies while they investigate what is really going on at the fetish retreat for the wealthy and only then can he consider what form his need for his little pixie may take.

FULL STORY ON PATREON- COMPLETED ******** A race of all-male warriors has descended upon Earth. The competition is fierce and claims upon women are permanent...unless you have a right. Ellie will fight tooth and nail to refuse the Varkari from what they deem theirs, but some are cut from a different cloth and know just how to get what they want. At what point is nature stronger than the force of will? ******** I met his eyes again, a fatal mistake, and drowned in the depths of blackness, electricity shooting down my bones, my knees bending slightly. I stared into the predator's pupils as he looked straight through every barrier I tried to put up and analyzed every response of my body. He took one heavy inhale, muscles rippling and expanding over his massive torso, and knew. He fucking knew everything. "By right of First Token, I claim this female as mine." ******** The full story is posted on Patreon with ongoing new chapters, POVs, and a sequel. Updates on Wattpad will be slow, if any. I don't love that Wattpad puts ads between my chapters without compensating (note: I cannot even read MY OWN stuff without having to watch them too). The sequel, Tournament is nearing completion. Does anyone know any good editors?

"I'm going to erase and replace that man-every man-from your mind," Alexander's grip on me tightens. A snarl escaping his lips to remind me exactly what he is. "By the time we're through, I'll be so deeply embedded in you, you'll ask yourself whether you truly had real pleasure before me." I can't even help my gasp, "Oh my God." "This is where Hell freezes over, Sierra." There's a light click. "There is no God here." *** Cold. That's the only way to describe the Sierra Pack. A Pack known for its ruthlessness and brutality. But when you live so high in the snowcapped mountains, only the strongest survive. The only thing icier than their glaciers is their blood lusting Alpha-Alexander. Hot. Sierra came into her powers at an older age than any other Witch or Warlock. Her ability to manipulate fire has always been seen as destructive and chaotic. But Sierra has always found the beauty in the most feared. With secrets, customs, and traditions in the Sierra, can fire and ice learn to dance with one another? Or will the mountains prove to be too cold for even the hottest of flames? *** Works as stand alone The Wolves of Imperium Book #4 (Sequel to Rebelling the Alpha King) 18+ themes of violence and sex. You'll get a warning ;) #1 in Alpha 9/13/2023
