❝and with words unspoken, a silent devotion.❞ [other #245 | 4-11-13 short story #242 | 23-1-14]

Dark and deadly, broken and cursed. Conan Kenley's fate was decided right from the moment his ancestors first gave themselves to Alpha, the wicked and blood-thirsty pack leader. Conan's fate was sealed and ensured, no matter how much he would deny or hope against it: he would become. And so, on the nearest full moon after the sixth death of a pack member in his lifetime, it was decided that Conan would be 'activated'. Battling first with fever, then with pride and duty and tradition, Conan struggles to cope with what he has become - what he now and forever shall be - a monster, a man-eater, a daemon. However, It may be his curse, but it's her fate. Fawn Harred is the Saviour - Conan's very own redemption - and he needs her - he needs her to break his curse. And although they can't stand each other, together they must sacrifice the one Conan loves most. But what happens when the line between killer and killed, perpetrator and victim, slayer and sacrifice, gets blurred? After all, there's only a thin line between love and hate.

Seventeen-year-old Jeremiah Davis hates the emptiness in his life. His mother's depressed and his father is too much of a coward to face it. So Jeremiah has decided to never face him again. Instead, he'll face his music. He knows it'll lead him to anywhere he wants: a prestigious arts university, a chance of a lifetime, and most of all, away from Smalls, Surrey (which is so tiny, it's even been taken off the map). But who would've thought it would lead him to love? Lead him to love an obnoxious, sarcastic, foul-mouthed, blue-haired girl, even if he won't admit it? No one would. Especially not Jude Jameson, an obnoxious, sarcastic, foul-mouthed, blue-haired teenager who would much rather spend her time at the local skate park or an alleyway, than anywhere else in the world. And definitely anywhere than in Jeremiah's company. But when an 'incident' occurs at their sixth form, fate throws the two in each other's paths and Jude is forced to take Jeremiah into the world of punk, indie, stressful parents and one-too-many beers. Let's just say that they're both in for one hell of a ride. All Rights Reserved.
