After an unexpected ceiling collapse sends her apartment into chaos, Madelaine Grayson ends up living with her brother - and dangerously close to his tattooed, way-too-charming roommate. He's off-limits... but resisting him might be impossible. *** When Madelaine Grayson's bathroom ceiling caves in, it's not just drywall that crumbles. It's her entire world. Forced to move in with her brother, she finds herself swept up in the chaos of his new protective attitude - especially when it comes to his tattooed roommate, Noah Laurier. Noah is the epitome of perfection: sweet, hot, and embedded into every thought Madelaine has. But he's forbidden, and the closer she gets, the harder he is to resist. Well... what her brother doesn't know can't hurt him, right? *** "Matt's sister, I presume?" He walks towards the couch and my eyes widen. He's tall. I thought I was tall but this man could tower me, and when he reaches a hand towards me, there's an intricate clock tattooed on the back of his hand and his fingers have bones tattooed over them. This man is not human. He's tall and angular and dripping with sex appeal. This man is hot. Capital H, capital O, capital T. I don't think I've ever seen a human being so attractive. All I can think about as I force myself to keep my eyes on the screen is the feel of his jaw beneath my hand, and it takes everything in me not to look

Isabella thought she was just starting over at a new school. But Ravenwood Academy is no ordinary place-it breathes with old secrets and whispers of blood. Among the strange and beautiful students lurk vampire clans locked in fatal rivalries. And at the heart of it all is Marcus, a fierce heir to a royal bloodline, whose storm-bright eyes hide as much danger as they do desire. Some vampires want her protected. Others want her dead. With only her roommate Liora-a loving, loyal vampire with a heart of gold-to shield her, Isabella must choose who to trust before Ravenwood's darkness swallows her whole. *Ravenwood Academy* : where shadows rule, secrets kill, and survival is never guaranteed.

Vampires and werewolves. Two species with pasts of bloody war all under one roof in the shape of an academy. Riverwood Academy. Hidden for only vampires and werewolves to find. Sworn enemies under one roof for the sake of peace. But not love. Not until now at least. **** Emerson POV There's no way. I can't be.. I thought to myself as her scent seemed to surround my body like a blanket making itself known. "But you are and you know it. We know it." Carter said calmly, speaking through our mind link as I stared at the vampire. We both knew what this meant. We were mates.

When a fire takes everything from Mia, her parents, her home, and the life she once knew, she is adopted by her mother's best friend, Jules Kingsley. Moving into the Kingsley mansion should be a fresh start, but her new brother, Damon, has other plans. Damon is ruthless, possessive, and impossible to avoid. He's made it his mission to remind Mia that she doesn't belong, and their hatred for each other burns brighter with every interaction. But living under the same roof means there is no escape, no distance, no way to keep the lines from blurring. He wants control. He wants her submission. He wants her, no matter how wrong it is. And the more Mia resists, the more his obsession grows, twisting every fight into something darker, every stolen glance into a game neither of them can win.

Anna Lynch was fucking petrified of men. Not just uncomfortable- terrified.She'd flinch if one of us so much as walked too close. She was always keeping herself pressed to walls, eyes darting for exits like she was planning an escape. And it wasn't just the loud ones or the gobshites. Even Johnny Kavanagh-her sisters boyfriend -made her recoil. That's when it really hit me. This wasn't nerves. This was trauma, stitched into every muscle in her body. The only lads she wasn't afraid of were her brothers-Joey and Darren. She stuck to them like her life depended on it, like they were the only two people in the world who'd never let her down. The rest of us? We were threats until proven otherwise #1-hughbiggs #1-chilhoodtrauma #1-mentalhealth #1-mutism

He hummed, amused. I was growing impatient. "I want you to have sex with me. Whenever I want. For as long as I want." I furrowed my brows. "Seriously?" He stepped closer, our bodies dangerously close to one another. "Seriously." He tilted his head. "A non-committal, strictly sexual relationship." His eyes were trained on my lips. "Fuck buddies." His eyes found mine again. I reached behind me slowly for the gun. "I haven't even had sex with you, how do I know if you're good or not?" He leaned down, his lips ghosting over mine. My breath was stuck in my throat. "Why don't we find out?" ●○●○ Spotify Playlist: delicate - Lexi ○●○● WARNINGS: - Alcohol - Sex - S/A -Suicide and self-harm / mentions of suicide and self-harm - Violence ●○●○ You are loved, and you don't deserve to suffer, especially not alone.

𝐀𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞, 𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐝, "Call me Castor." I blinked. Castor. The name felt foreign on my tongue, like something I wasn't supposed to know. I hesitated before murmuring, "Castor..." His fingers, which had been pressing a fresh cloth against my wounds, stilled. Something shifted in the air between us. "...Say it again," he murmured, his voice quieter this time. I frowned, confused. "Castor." It wasn't the name itself, but the way I said it-soft, almost hesitant. Like I was trying to figure out who he was beyond the version I had built in my mind. Psyche Calix is a young woman who lost everything in the span of a decade-her home, her family, her sense of belonging-all shattered by the hidden truths and treacherous magic of the Magnificent North and the Meridian Empire. Now, something has called her back to the place where it all began... and where everything was taken from her. On her journey to uncover why she was drawn back, Psyche encounters allies, enemies, and strangers who are anything but ordinary. Among them is one being who disrupts her path more than anyone else: a powerful vampire with secrets older than time and a presence she can't seem to escape. He's dangerous. Unforgiving. Tempting. As their fates intertwine and emotions grow tangled, Psyche must decide-will she surrender to the one who's haunted her every step, becoming his completely? Or will she break free before he consumes what's left of her? Only one way to find out. oc x chaos/castor valor (Disclaimer: I don't own Ouabh tbona or acftl and not the characters except my own. those masterpieces belong to Stephanie garber)
