*excerpt* "Daniel laughed, a deep sound that made a shiver course through my body. He walked towards me making me back up until my back met the stone of the wall and there was only an inch between our lips.He brought his lips down to my neck and kissed softly. His soft lips roughly sucking and kissing my neck, most likely leaving a hickey. I bit my lip to keep in the moan. Daniel nibbeled on my ear, his hot breath arousing me. "Let it go you know you want to moan. It wouldn't be surprising if you do." He growled in my ear. My eyes snapped open." "And it would be surprising If I didnt, right?" I asked, scoffing and pushed against his chest. Protection is something Aphrodite's father can't ensure anymore, not when her mother's killer is still after her life as well.

I jolted awake at the sudden tension I felt around me. It disturbed me. I sat up in bed and came face to face with an intruder. I opened my mouth to scream but was attacked by the most delicious aroma that ever met my nose. I looked up at the intruder, he, I'm assuming, was large, beast like. He was heaving as he looked down at me from the foot of my bed. I felt my fear subside and I began to want the intruder. I don't know why, but I felt a pull to him and he smelt amazing. I reached out for him and he let out a vicious growl that made me cower back and hide myself under the blankets. "I'm sorry" I whimpered I heard loud footsteps come to the left side of me before rough hands yanked the blanket away. I screamed and covered myself with the pillow. "Don't hurt me!" I bellowed, holding the pillow close to me. He growled again and yanked me to his burning hot body, "I'll never hurt you!" He strong, powerful voice rang. ********************************** ❀ ❀ ❀

"I'm a monster." "Just because that's what you believe, doesn't mean it's true." Eleanor whispered, her voice trembling along with the rest of her body. His eyes darkened as she took a step back. The contradiction proving the wrong in her words. He laughed darkly, her movements didn't go unnoticed, she knew they wouldn't, his observant eyes were always analyzing her, he knew her body and he knew her. Maybe even better than she knew herself. "I just killed 3 people right in front of your own-" he stopped, only to trace his finger over her closed eyes. "-innocent eyes, and you tell me I'm not a monster?" "I'm a beast Eleanor, and you know it." he took a threatening step forward, trapping her between the wall and his body. His muscles flexed as he lifted his arms, placing them on either side of her face. "Zan-" "I am ruthless tesora," his hot breath fanned over her exposed neck. She held in a moan that was daring to escape. "but somehow you fail to see that." "I am no angel, Eleanor. Hence I wouldn't be surprised if Satan chose me as his right-hand." he hissed angrily, a traitor tear rolled down her cheek as fear struck her. "I had given up on love for a long time, and then you decided to stumble into my life, ruining your own in the proces." He growled. "And now I can't let you go." He drew in a deep breath before crashing his soft lips onto hers. Sealing her fate along with his own. Make sure to check out the trailer!

"All you have to do is kill this man." He told me, sliding the picture of a man across the table to me. "I just have to kill him? Then you'll let my brother go?" I asked, staring at the picture before looking back up at the man. "You have my word. Kill this man and we'll give you back your brother." The man promised. I glanced down at the picture again, already feeling guilty. "What's his name?" "Stefano Colombo." The last thing Alaya Pierce thought would happen when she moved to New York to live with her brother was get involved with the Italian mafia.
