an·dro·pho·bia | \ ˌan-drə-ˈfō-bē-ə noun : an abnormal dread of men : repugnance to the male sex Thea is the definition of sweetness. Whether it be stopping to talk to a homeless person in the streets or volunteering overtime at her local charity shop, she feels the need to give and not take. Although that comes with disadvantages of its own, the effects of a strange phobia of hers only make her life more difficult: her growing fear of men. And when she meets the most terrifying of them all, she is forced to ultimately confront her fear. In the form of a murderous member of the mafia by the name of Synn, that same uncontrollable terror that she experiences in the presence of a man only sparks an interest in him. But unbeknownst to Synn, a man who revels at the tremor of his enemies, he cannot figure out why her wide, teary eyes do not give him the same pleasure. Why does that same terror-stricken look on Thea's face only make his heart clench with pain instead of content? #1 in Hot #1 in Fear #1 in Scared #1 in Sweet #1 in Kind #3 in Cute #5 in Love Cover done by @kimtherespeopledying

The Russian mafia followed a set of old-fashioned traditions, one of which is called 'The blood pact'. To the Dimitri family, the strongest bonds are blood bonds. That's what the last living descendant of the Dimitris, Alexi Dimitri, believes. When wrong intel arrives, accusing his father's former right-hand man, Igor Knight, of having a hand in his parents' murders, Igor has no option but to merge their families through marriage to gain his Don's trust and save his family from a dark fate. The blood pact binds his daughter, Sophie knight, and Alexi Dimitri in holy matrimony, till death do them part. The young woman learned long ago that everything happens for a reason, so when it came down to a life-or-death situation, there was no second-guessing herself. It was either die at the hands of the Russian Don or die living alongside the Russian Don. Sophie Knight knew that life loves to shoot you with its surprises, almost like a game of Russian roulette, but what she didn't know is that the bullet is going to hurt like a bitch.

Will their unconventional connection withstand the challenges that arise, or will it fade like a fleeting masterpiece? A safe read <3 no cheating, no mean male lead, no excessive drama.

She knows what it's like to exist in a world that would rather you didn't, in a world that believes you are the villain. So maybe it's the fact that he's always loved her, that makes her feel like she can take on that same world with flames and steel.

What it's like to love someone completely different. ... They tell you: "Don't go with the wrong mix." In potions, a rule exists that if two incompatible ingredients were mixed, you could either blow up your cauldron or mess up your brew. It is apparent how two wrongs don't make one right. But there's another existing theory that states that in the art of potion making, if you manage to make two inharmonious things work together, then it might actually does. Just like them. He's the Gryffindor quidditch captain, she's the Slytherin's booksmart gem. A boy who is obsessed with quidditch and a girl who holds strong grudges towards it. How can they even get themselves to stand along each other and expect that they would work?

Elodie. An innocent name, an innocent girl. She tried as much as she could to make everything around her happy. Mine. Flower. Golden. Those were the best three words Fred Weasley could describe Elodie Jian. Elodie Jian, (El-UH-dee), (Jee-uhn) Meaning, Flower. Last name meaning Simple; uncomplicated. She had such a rare smile. The kind only babies would smile to, animals feel safe around, and people falling more and more in love with. Her hair, was the brightest brown, golden in the sun. Her eyes were made of honey and the sweetest chocolate brown. There was absolutely no doubt, that this girl was beautiful. She had the most unnoticeable brown freckles under her eyes, and the most perfect shade of tan skin. Her looks weren't the most wonderful trait she owned. She loved all creatures, would even talk to them knowing they wouldn't talk back, but definitely listened and understood. She knew none in the world were 'evil', with a few exceptions of the dark lord of course, just misread. She cared for everyone. She was kind, and courageous. She was funny, never dull. When she gets sorted into the golden colored house, she meets the maroon colored boy. Golden girl, red boy. Perfect match, they thought. Some, more than others, knew, actually. The Hufflepuff and Gryffindor meet, grow, and love as a whole. Maybe they completed each other. Maybe they're what each other needs. ~ As you read on, you will find out the growing love between Elodie Jian and Fred Weasley, as well as read what family, depression, breakdowns, fake smiles, fake love, and magic is what makes Elodie, Elodie. ~ DISCLAIMERS: -Swear words are used in this story. -Some content may be offensive to some viewers.
