Revenge. I'm familiar with it. You have to be when you're the firstborn son of a notorious mafia leader. Death and vengeance have been the very foundations of my life. So who in their fucking mind would be stupid enough to cross me? My brother and I have been wrongfully convicted of a crime we didn't commit. We know who is behind this. We bid our time behind bars, planned and prepared for the day we got out. Now we're free and hungry for redemption. I know what must be done. I know whose blood will be spilled. But before I go after him, I'll go after his daughter. I never said I play fair. *Book one in the Marino Brothers Duet. Rated 18+ due to explicit language, sex, and violence.*

Not thinking twice, I ran to Josh and pulled his head into my lap. Taking the silver, I began to burn the venom from his cuts as I cried. He didn't respond, not a cry or a scream, nothing. My heart ached, he was dying. His heart beat once more and then stopped. Everyone in the clearing froze, waiting for the next beat but it never came. Everything inside me broke and I wailed out in pain. This couldn't be happening. "No." I cried as I pulled his lifeless body closer to me, "Please. You have to come back to me." Everything inside me was on fire and my chest ached worse than anything I had ever felt before, "Come back to me." I kissed his lips but no response, no need, no nothing. "You can't leave me." Desperately, I clutched him tighter to me. "Please." But nothing came.

"You think I would ever go to dinner with you after what you pulled?" I asked, he lifted an eyebrow and acted like he didn't know what I was talking about. "What?" He stepped closer making me step back. "I know you cheated, cut the act." He froze and for a moment I saw that hint of insanity in the back of those blue eyes, it sent chills down my spine. "Baby I don't know what you're saying, did you sleep well?" "Don't act innocent Dominik, you're a lying bastard, I heard you telling some woman how beautiful she is the exact same way you said it to me. Every day I go to sleep I hear you saying those words to her, it's driving me mad! You told me you loved me. " I felt tears running down my face faster than a waterfall. "How could you do this to me? I hate you and I never want to see your lying ass aga-" Dominik cut me off after connecting the back of his hand to my cheek. I backed away and hit the wall holding my face, he walked up to me and grabbed my wrists. "Shut the fuck up! You're in pain but you don't mean that baby, you love me, everything will change when we get married. I promise." He pulled my hands away from my face so he can grab it instead. "You love me." He said, squeezing my face tighter, I looked around the room and then flinched as he screamed at my face, "Say it!" I stayed silent; he went feral. This time he slapped me so hard that I ended up on the floor, I yelped and held my stinging face, I didn't even dare to look at him, I didn't want to either. "You think hitting me is going to make me tell you that I love you?" Keep in mind that is story is NOT revised. Warning! ⚠️ There are certain chapters in this book that contain explicit sex scenes and SA! ⚠️ PLEASE DO NOT READ IF YOU CANNOT STOMACH THE TOPIC! Thank you!

He was my mate, my other half. I was happy at first but like all good things, it must come to an end. Seeing it with my own eyes wasn't the worst part of it though. The worst part was the fact that he had the courage to tell me that he loved me when in reality, he didn't. Running away from him seemed like a good idea and it seems that fate thought that too. Meeting another wolf, an Alpha at that too, who had lost his mate a few years ago and he just so happened to like me. I found a new pack, a new family but like I mentioned before, all good things must come to an end. With my mate wanting me back but my feelings for the other Alpha progressing, I'm confused and lost. This is one problem that I can't solve.

Even vampires have mates... Vladimir is the King of Vampires. His empire thrives under his rule, but he something is missing; his mate. Vlad has scoured the Earth for his beloved, only to come back to his kingdom empty handed. But when a certain scent catches in the breeze, he realizes she might not be that far away after all. ... I hissed at the news, clenching my fist. "Where?" "Twelve miles west, My King," General Haggar says, bowing. "They're mocking us," my sister spat, looking down at the map on my desk. "Permission to ask of my lord," Haggard says. "Granted," I reply, looking up at him. "Do you think she is there?" I pause, thinking of the possibility. "I sure as hell hope not."

Book One of the Werewolf Keeper Series. Alpha Lewis has found his mate, but no one warned him just how infuriating she would be. Keeping Lauren alive might be even harder than winning her heart. (Please vote and comment!) The amazing cover was created by crazily_me

"Y-you," she stuttered, staring at the handsome man sitting on the sleek black throne, "you're..." He rolled his eyes, waving his hand impatiently and said, "Hades. Come on, say it with me. Ha-des." "Hades," Ariel breathed out, still not believing the sight before her. Every picture she had seen of the gods had not depicted Hades' beauty. The god sitting before her was not a crusty old man with a white beard; no, he was a Calvin Klein model. "Yes," Hades clasped his hands together and grimaced, "the God of Death and riches; that's me." Ariel nodded, still refusing to believe but knowing she had to and Hades' grimace turned even bitter, "And you, darling, will be staying with me for quite some time." ~*~ Cover: _nymphomaniac Published: 8/6/14
