Six gods, one human. 20 years ago a prophecy was told that the gods future would depend on the choices of the seven at twenty one, these choices would either seal the gods from earth forever or herald a new understanding between gods and humans. The prophecy had been vague about the seven and gods and scholars had spent years trying to work out the riddle, who or what was the seven and then what was the twenty one. One of the scholars believed the twenty one referred to years and if that was the case then the prophecy would be coming to light within the next year. On the day of the prophecy was told six new gods were born , Attis, Boreas, Mors, Erebus, Helios and Pan each bore the same birthmark, scholars believed the boys were linked to the prophecy but were puzzled by the missing seventh. Speculation over the boys continued as they grew up and learnt and trained together, but the boys were competitive and most thought the prophecy was a joke without seeing a seventh mark. 20 years ago on the day the prophecy was told on Earth a baby girl was born under the stars by Angel Falls, her mother cried as she held her newborn baby in her arms, knowing she would not live to see her grow up. She prayed to the Goddess Leto to keep her baby protected and well and guide her when the time came. 20 years later after moving to Angel Falls with her guardian, Serenity started as the local librarian, she spent her days surrounded by stories and leather bound books, Angel Falls felt like home to Serenity, more than any other place she had lived before.

Then Serenity's world is opened wide as family truths come out and old enemies appear. What happens when two worlds collide and dreams become reality.

(COMPLETED | UNDER EDITING) Fresh out of college, Veronica Odair is hired as a forensic scientist at the infamous B.E.A.R. Laboratories. She is put to work on the classified Tekula Project, but certain events lead her to question her job. What is so dangerous about Level 5? Why do her tests come back increasingly strange? What secrets are B.E.A.R. Laboratories hiding? Veronica plans to find out. ▪▪▪ Brown eyes, nearly obscured by rich locks of dark hair, stare into my light green ones with an intensity which nearly causes my knees to wobble. I can hear nothing but the thudding of my heart beating wildly in my chest, the sounds of the sirens turning into white noise at the back of my mind. I back up until my spine connects with the elevator doors. I shiver as my bare arms come in contact with the cool metal. "Someone help me, please," I beg. The man stalks closer still. His eyes are fixed solely on me, unmoving, intense. His fists are clutched tightly against his sides, as though restraining himself in some way. Restraining himself from what, I don't want to know. The man stops only an arm's length away from me. I stare up at him with wide eyes, my lips parted in fear. I stand frozen, unable to move. I shut my eyes, turning my head away. Laboured breathing, the touch of fingertips on my bare shoulder, breath on my lips. A heavy, deep inhale. Slow exhale. A forehead against mine, shaky hands cupping the back of my neck, fingertips sliding into my red locks. My eyes open to meet the warmest pair of honey eyes. Cover by AnnaCharles16 #4 in ROMANCE?

[MATURE CONTENT] a rumpelstiltskin retelling #1 in the ODD FAIRYTALES series "Do you enjoy torturing me?" He asked on a groan as his hand travelled from my inner thigh to further upwards, finding me sans panties. "Only-" I breathed raggedly as he began tracing my slit with gentle strokes with not enough pressure to relieve me of the burn charging my core. "- when it suits." "Well," he said, finger dipping inside me, making me cling to his shoulders. "For your trouble, I'm about to fuck you so hard they'll write about us." "Like a fairytale?" I asked on a whisper, amusement dancing in my voice as I stared into his glowing golden eyes. "Be careful," he warned, ducking his head until I felt his hair brush my face. His lips were a millimetre from my ear, his breath making something thrum within me. "The ending will make you scream." I didn't doubt that.
