*Completed* *Unedited* With every step he took towards me, I took one back until I hit the edge of his bed. A deep growl rumbled from his throat and I tried to make myself smaller in hopes that he would leave me alone. Being a human, I stood no chance against this beast in front of me. He would tear me apart. His muscles rippled with ease from underneath his shirt; his stance towered over me; his eyes colored with darkness; and I knew he was struggling to keep his wolf contained. "Kitten, don't act all scared. This is what you wanted, isn't it? You've always fantasized about what it would be like to be with a beast like me." His hand approached me slowly and then brushed my hip. I gasped. His teeth grazed my neck and I unconsciously leaned my head away, so he could have more room. "Answer me!" he growled. My chest furiously moved up and down as I tried to calm myself. I shook my head. "Well, Kitten, you're MINE. Whether you like it or not." From a very young age, Mae has been told by her father to stay away from werewolves. They were too rough, too dangerous for humans, but she always had a fascination with them. Damon was the Alpha of the Night Bane pack and he was exactly what Mae's father told her he would be - rough and dangerous. *Not my cover art @ Jojoesart

"Light up my darkness," he murmured against her bare flesh. His fingers trailed up her arm, leaving a blazing fire beneath them. His lips pressed softly against her shoulder and her eyes fluttered closed, accepting his touch. "Let go and I'll take away all of the pain." She desperately wanted to free herself from the torture of the heat, of the shift, of the sadness, but she pushed his firm chest away from her. She yearned to finally fulfill her place among the divine. She desired to guide and protect the species. She wished to eliminate the Challengers. The longer she endured the pain, the more power she would attain to help her fulfill her responsibilities. To the men who watched her ascend, it looked as if she was interacting with thin air, but she knew he was there with her. She smiled softly at him, caressing his cheek. "My Darkness, let the pain fester within me. I crave it." * The Betrayal is a part of The Marking Trilogy and cannot be read as a stand-alone book. The Marking must be read first.* Cover by @Finding_Bria

My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow. Glowing eyes were not normal. Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal. What was I then? For that, I had no answer [[Word count: 495,000]] Copyright August 2016. All Rights Reserved. Readers may not copy, alter, or steal this story.

COMPLETED. R-RATED MATURE CONTENT. STEAMY. "I'm your property now, aren't I?" I let out in a hiss. I didn't know where that defiance had suddenly come from, but I relished in the feeling. And the narrowing of his blazing eyes and the slight twitch of his lips gave me the answer that I needed. "Welcome to the mafia, signorina." - Lies. Lust. Deception. In the somber world of 1924's Italian mafia, only the strongest can survive. Beneath the upbeat glamor of the Roaring Twenties in New York City, with its glittery feathers and blood-red lips and fancy cocktails, there lies a twisted world that the ritzy population knows nothing about. Suddenly, poverty-ridden Antonia is thrown into the turbulent reality of violence and deception that lies within one of the most feared mafia families on the East Coast: the Berettis. And what's worse is the sudden take of interest in her of every member in that damned family. Including that of the revered and dangerous Marco Beretti, son of the Don. But then, Antonia realizes that her part in this mafia is much, much bigger than she'd ever expected. And it may just cost her her life. - THIS STORY IS RATED MATURE.

However, when monsters from Alvar's world kidnap my best friend, I find myself whisked away to his realm marrying him anyway.
