Unexpectedly taken as a glorified hostage, she finds herself in a sticky predicament with an entirely too delicious for his own good, Balthazar. A man renowned for his bloodthirsty demeanor.

The new ruler over the barbaric and brutal shifters of the mountains, one of the few polar bear/lion hybrids to make it to adulthood, he is rumored to be an astoundingly savage and brutal shifter. A shifter ferocious and dangerous enough to take on an army by himself and is cold-blooded and heartless; a master at murder.

Innocent Juliette has been living inside her small cottage of a home all of her life. With limited acquaintances, she's as naïve and pure hearted as it gets. She's kind, caring and helps her mother in their farm work. However, Juliette's peaceful life came to an unexpected end. With her mother dying of an incurable disease, pure and naive eighteen year old Juliette had no choice but to live with her aunt who works in the royal castle. Prince Maximus is famous for his blood tinted reputation. Blood thirsty and arrogant, the neighboring kingdoms and his own were petrified of him.

When an injured mysterious man abruptly shows up in the maids hall at night, naïve little Juliette immediately ushers to his help and mends his wounds. Unbeknownst to her, however, she was helping the very prince she feared the most; flesh and blood. Mesmerized by Juliette's good hearted nature and kindness despite her unawareness of his status, Prince Maximus couldn't help but find her intriguing.

He proceeded to pin my wrist against the locker, looking back up at me and smiling darkly. "You're not good enough to ignore me." "I hate you so much," I breathed out. His face inched closer, tilted, his breath hitting my bare skin as he whispered, "The feelings mutual." With that, the little space between us diminished as his lips roughly locked onto mine. |||| They were two different people. Complete opposites that passed each other on a daily basis. Trying to find noticeable traits of similarities between them was as successful as comparing a croc to a Nike shoe. However, not all similarities are obvious. Something's just happen to be experienced behind the public eye and innocent flicker of stares. For these two, the individuals that appeared as opposite strangers, shared moments far greater than you and I. Intimate moments that will brew a storm between them. While the rules are simple; don't fall in love, there's one individual who is a law breaker, and another, that has already broken more rules than they would have ever dared to. Being friends is one thing, but being more than friends...in secret? That's a whole new story. || Copyright reserved ® BREESWORLD.

Meeting his gaze that has darkened with desire I curl my fingers around his collar and pull him closer. "Now, are you going to kiss me?" "Yes." He nods before leaning in until his lips are a breath away. I pull back which makes him groan in frustration. "Promise to never let me go?" It happens in a blur. His lips descend on mine in a hungry yet passionate kiss filled with longing. I whimper softly when his teeth bite down on my bottom lip and coax me to give in. And, I do. His tongue meets mine as we explore each other, tasting and savoring. I tangle my fingers in his hair and tug slightly which makes him kiss me feverishly. It's like he almost doesn't want this moment to end no matter how much air is becoming a matter of priority. I pull away first, dazed still. He follows and his lips trail over the heated skin of my neck, kissing across my jawline, teasing the corner of my lips before nibbling on my earlobe. I'm a mess as I crave more of his addictive touch. I feel like I'm flying. "I promise to never let you go, Ella."

Copyrighted 2020 **Book 1 in the Darkness Series!** **Completed!** *Under construction* There was a creature locked away miles beneath the stone streets of Deshua, Oregon. A monster with the body of a man, jet black eyes of a soulless demon, and even darker feather wings cascading from its back. Those foolish enough to believe its unnatural, ethereal beauty would call it a fallen angel. The immortals who inhabited the town knew better. They knew to call it daemonium-demon. Forced asleep by a council who believed in the greater good, many revered the monster. Yet the town's eternal population was torn in two. Half awaited the day for the foretold cursed soul to come and resurrect their lord and the other half feared it just as much. And guess who got to be that lucky bitch. *No love triangle* -&- **WARNING** This book WILL have mature, adult content! Please be aware of this before reading.

BOOK TWO OF THE BLACK SERIES *CANNOT be read as a stand-alone* -- "I mean, let's face it, Hayden," Casey said with a humourless laugh, looking away from me and out at the city of white lights, "you don't want me. You want the thought that you managed to get with me - all of your friends are expecting it, my friends and family are expecting it to happen... it's not long before you wanting me changes and you see how messed up I really am." My eyes narrowed and I turned to face her, grabbing her by the jaw so I was staring into her dark eyes. Casey's breath hitched in her throat and she chewed on her lip, tears gathered in her eyes as our eyes met. "I don't give a flying fuck about what they want to hear or what they expect to happen between us, Casey," I told her, wiping a stray tear away. I smiled when she sniffled. "Stop thinking so much about what other people do and don't expect, alright? I damn well know how insane your family is but I also know how much better you are from them, and it's the good in you that makes me fall deeper with every date we go on." When I cupped her cheek with one hand, Casey's alarmed eyes relaxed and she slowly leaned into my touch, sighing quietly. I pressed my forehead to hers, smiling softly when she tried moving forward for our lips to meet. I pulled away last second, rubbing her bottom lip with my thumb. lol "I'm all yours, baby," I whispered, finally pressing our lips together.

"Cora, whether you like it or not, you belong to me. You're mine! Do you understand that? I suggest you accept it because I won't allow you to decide otherwise. You see, in my world, life is like a game of chess, and darling...you've just became the queen, my main piece." "Well...It's a good thing I've never been fond of chess. In fact, I've always preferred monopoly." With that, I slammed my foot down on his, shoving him aside while running for the shut door. He was beyond mad. Looking over my shoulder, I smiled innocently up at his enraged expression and tense stance. "And luckily, I have a get out jail free card." _______________________________ C O P Y R I G H T. R E S E R V E D. Guilty for loving cliche possessiveness, control and jealousy, I decided to create my very own story involving just that. This is nothing professional or overly realistic. it's just a fun story filled with game playing, banter, romance and humour.

"Hello?" "Um, hey?" "Wait, you don't sound like my Aunt Kathy."
