"Bella, what are you thinking about?" "Why did you do this to me? I'm supposed to resent you, but one minute you're a monster and the next you're taking me cloud nine." "You were meant to be mine, you know why?" "Why?" I asked softly. "Because no one will ever love you more than I will. We can only be separated by death. Do not think I won't know if you cheat on me; you fucking belong to me no matter what. Do you understand?" What started off as soft reassures turned to berated yelling. I nodded quickly, too afraid to do anything else. This side of him scared me. He grabbed my chin to force me to look at him, "say you belong to me and no fucking body else!" I closed my eyes tight, wishing he'd stop yelling. Val tightened his grip on my face. "Say it, Jay, or I will hurt you." "I'm yours and no one else's." I whispered in a low voice, a sob almost breaking my words. Val's eyes softened and he kissed me on my forehead then hugged me tight. Jaycen/Jay was a normal 18 year old girl. She had a mom, sisters, and best friends. Just like any other girl she had dreams of getting out of her small Mississippi town and live her life.

Jay couldn't stop him, and now she only has one question, can she love her monster or will she hate him forever? Thank you @Leaving_forever for the cover!

I must be dreaming! How is that in the whole universe God decided to choose me to go back in time. The worst part is that I'm getting married to the Zulu King who already has 6 concubines Argh! Life of a Zulu girl😯😢 I don't own the credits to the story cover 🔜🔜🔜🔜🔜🔜🔜🔜🔜🔜🔜🔜🔜 His eyes told a story, deep, sensual, strong, fearless, powerful. The man demanded attention without even having to say a word. His stance made him the alpha male without even lifting a finger. He looked to be 6 feet in height. Amazing physic accompanied by muscles. Battle scares marred some parts of his body but in only added to his masculinity. His face was void of any emotion, no one could tell what he was thinking. Not that I'm a master reader of emotions or anything but you get my point. He was beautiful in a inhuman way. His skin tone was a fairer mocha , I bet it might be lighter but the man looked like he bathed in the sun, training every single day. He did not belong amongst us humans, I don't even think he would belong in my world. He deserved a planet of his own. He has surpassed human beauty, he must have been a default when he was created because there is no way in hell anybody can look like him. He looked matured and seasoned. I want to laugh thinking about the men in my world proclaiming themselves as real men. This is man standing in front of me is the true definition of real man, his whole being is the definition of a man...wow! 😍😍😍😍

He began walking over to me. This is it. I'm dead. I saw his shoes come into my view as I was looking down, hair covering my face. "Look at me." He growled out. I started to cry, too afraid to look. He grasped my chin and lifted my face to meet his. I mentally gasped. It's the guy from last night. His eyes held surprise too, before anger erupted in them. I cowered back in fear of what he might do. "Who did this to your face?" He growled. I started to cry again and shake. "Him." I whispered and gave a small nod toward the guy who hit me.

Lily never wanted to go to her best friend's family reunion. She never wanted to stay with the hot-tempered, Caelum McGriffin. And she never wanted to fall in love with him. [this story is still under major editing so beware when reading.]

She is new in town with an abusive father, so when she meets the Alpha werewolf she decides one dominant male is enough for her - so she runs from him.

This novel is an adaptation of Beauty and the Beast. Blind since birth, Elle Duncan has only ever known darkness, but lack of sight has never hindered her ability to perceive the beauty of the world. Her kind and gentle soul is put to the test when her father sustains an injury that threatens their livelihood, and in desperation, he turns to the most unlikely of saviors-the Rossetti Beast. Don Rossetti is bound for an unchanging fate. He is bad-tempered, with an equally dark and scarred countenance to match. With a heart forged of ice and a soul confined to darkness, he has surrendered to a forlorn existence. But when a peasant man arrives from the village begging for a favor, he is compelled to aid the farmer in exchange for a price-a price that Elle will be forced to pay.
