What lies ahead for her as she embraces her vampire mate and strives for a better life?" ---/--- "You're distracting me-ah, Vincent!" He put his hands on my waist, pulling me closer to him. I'm not used to being so close to a man without being hit. The last time I was safe in a man's arms was when I was a kid with my dad. "A'roya," he whispers, admiring my face. "Vincent," I whispered back, playing with the wet hairs on the nape of his neck. "I love you." I must've smiled so damn wide. I put my forehead on his, trying to reel in tears. God, I'm such a crybaby. "I love you too." Vincent sighed confidently. "Oh, I know." I sighed and rolled my eyes. At this point, I'm used to this man. (EDITED TO A READABLE STATE.)

In a world where vampires have taken over, humans are treated like dirt underneath vampires' feet. Humans are considered inferior to the vampires. They treat the humans awfully and force them to abide by their laws. Once a year, King Ulric, king of the vampires, chooses a different town in the U.S to pick young girls to be his servants. The jobs the human girls are forced into can range from being a cook to being the King's personal play toy. However, no girl has ever returned after being taken back to the kingdom. This year, King Ulric decided to stop in PotterTown, eighteen-year-old Amaryllis Westbay's town. Amaryllis was an intelligent, young girl who thought she had her whole life ahead of her, that was until the vampires took over. What will happen when the vicious, stone cold vampire meets the innocent human?

"Mum!" I cried out as a bullet went through her chest. I ran forward to get to her but strong arms held me back. "Ssshh. Isabelle, don't cry, it's going to be okay." He whispered as he held me tight. It wasn't okay. My mum died that night on the docks. I was never allowed near my dad's mafia again. Isabella Cole's father is a mafia leader. Adam Cole. The leader of The Red Lions. Her father and brothers do everything possible to keep her away from the mafia. They protect her with everything they've got. But will it be enough? ~~~ BOOK ONE: MAFIA PRINCESS ↳ BOOK TWO: MAFIA PRINCE ~~~ DO NOT READ - very weird plot, I was very young when written, writing is terrible and lots of potential triggers with no warnings I will not be taking it down OR rewriting/editing (i have moved to ao3 and very rarely check this) - feel free to read but do not leave unnecessary hate

He practically dragged me through this long dark hallway and every time a tear slipped down my cheek I quickly wiped it away. I caught a few glimpses of other girls locked in cages and blood smeared here and there on the walls. What the hell was this place? "V-Vincenzo?" I whispered as we continued to walk down the hallway. "What." He said dryly. "W-Where are y-you taking me?" I said which caused him to stop dead in his tracks and he looked down at me. "Oh bambina, you've got a lot to learn." He said as he rubbed his thumbs my cheeks and before I knew it there was another cloth over my mouth and my eyes shut. The last thing I can remember is slowly falling into his arms. ****************** ALL RIGHTS ARE RESERVED.

UNEDITED WATTPAD VERSION! (This is the arguably rubbish version, ye be warned.) Includes a sample of the published version as well *** Life would be so much easier if he wasn't around, but even I couldn't deny that my life seemed to truly begin since his arrival. Had Lucifer truly been kicked out of heaven because of his own cravings for power, or had he fled after realizing his true happiness lied elsewhere, in a darker atmosphere? In this world, there is strictly no good or bad, no clear right or wrong. We make poor decisions, hoping it will prove worthy in the end. When it does, we never look back, but when it doesn't, it tears us apart like ravaged hell hounds. Perhaps we're all the product of Lucifer and God alike. Born from beauty only to fall to desire. *** When young baker Rosaria Castellanos is offered a chance to pay her parent's debts to the infamous Romano mafia family by a simple favor, she takes it in a heartbeat. Everyone expected a happy italian wedding, with too much wine to handle and lots of singing. Cater pastries, and don't die? Sounds easy enough. Nobody expected her to catch the eye of the young boss, Giovanni Romano, nicknamed 'The King of New York' for good reason. Unknowingly bound to the mafia by birthright, introduced by a dangerous love, Rosaria's identity will soon be forged. An unlikely heroine, imperfect and anxious, must grow through struggles and gang violence to save those around her. In even the darkest of places, love can bloom. Perhaps even in the mafia. - Side note: Warning: mature sexual scenes, swearing, violence ✨Milestones ✨ Featured on Wattpad's Dangerouslove profile #3 in Thrill -9/7/20 #32 in Mature -9/7/20 #42 in Mafia -3/10/20 #45 in Love -9/7/20 ~ Dates ~ WP Start: October 19th 2019 Finished: December 1st 2020 Published: February 14th 2021

You start to question just that when your fiancé who you thought always treated you well suddenly shows a whole different side of himself. When the man who everyone tells you to stay away from because he's dangerous is the one who treats you well and with respect. Amelia Davies moves back to L.A. after finding out that her fiancé isn't as loving and caring as she thought. Trying to get her life back together while working the front desk at a garage, she's happy to be her own independent person. She doesn't need anything else as long as she has her peace, quiet and her books. At least that's what she thought until her former fiancé shows up and wants to bring her back. Raffaele Amoretto has never liked people. The only ones he keeps close are his most trusted men. Them he can tolerate. He doesn't talk to people more than necessary, he doesn't like to be touched, and love is something he's never experienced, even from his own parents. When he sees Amelia for the first time, that changes. Like him, she keeps to herself. She doesn't like attention, but she catches his.

People whispered his name, but no one ever truly knew him. He killed without hesitation, without regret, leaving only fear in his wake. Some said he was born when the world was still young, others swore he had been cast out of heaven and banished even from hell. Yet he walked the earth as if it had been made for him alone. Humans believed they owned everything before him, blind to the shadows moving just beneath the surface. Some even claimed he killed his wife when she became pregnant, because he would allow nothing, not even love, to challenge him. He is King Lavaski, a man whose shadow lingers long after he has gone.
