betrayal secrets suspicion war

"They are bleeding us of every right we've ever earned." 

Escaping was just the beginning. 

Away from the Sapphire Court, Elian attempts to lead the life he left behind, but his ghosts cannot be forgotten. With old, vengeful enemies hiding in the shadows, and far darker monsters  roaming his mind, Elian soon realises that the memories that make you cannot be forgotten. 

Alensia itself is readying for war, sides are being chosen, and bonds made at birth are about to be ripped apart forever. The Faven's attacks on the court become more merciless by the day, and as their ambitions grow larger all three courts are placed in the firing line. Then a journey to the far reaches of Alensia reveals new worlds that were believed to have been swallowed by dust an era ago, and from them rise armies that could win the war before it even begins. 

Within the Courts, a dangerous game continues, with new players that threaten to steal a throne, and old ones who threaten to annihilate Sapphire for their mistakes. Amongst it all are those that Elian left behind, suddenly thrust into a world that they never knew existed, and into a war they do not know how to fight.  And when tragedy strikes, one's world is turned upside down forever...

Amidst it all, a prophecy long forgotten inches closer to being fulfilled:
When the last son of Sapphire turns to the fire's shade, only then will Ruby and Diamond fall...All Rights Reserved

Halonar by Firepizza-X

Everyone has heard of the story. After the Knights betrayed the system, were executed for their crimes, and were forgotten to time, evil began to rise one more, even in the absence of the Divilamu. So the highest sorcerers and elites opened a permanent bridge to another world, known as the great Summoning, and brought with it, champions from an unknown dimension, blessed with incredible powers. They took the task of defending the land from the darkness, and creatures that tainted the light, and issued a new era of peace. More powerful than any other race, they quickly became the ruling class. Now they rule behind any government, hunting and destroying threats. With a wide range of abilities, they saw no resistance. They were called Aldaraians. Jack is a simple farmer, living in the comfy town of Rorin. Like 90% of the population, he is a normal human. He does not mind, as he had a loving wife and daughter. A daughter who dreams of joining the ranks of Aldaraians. Then Jack comes home and finds his family dead. He devolves into despair, and then, clear thought, and rage. People he trusted neglected their duty to protect. Jack makes a twisted journey of revenge, making a few acquaintances along the way, he will take them down, by whatever means necessary. He knows deep down he will not survive, but he just wants to give them a scar, so they never forget him. How would you feel? If you were nothing? If gods from another dimension roamed, and did whatever they pleased. The old gods are nowhere to be found? The only gods are the ones that you see everyday? And most importantly, where is the line drawn, between Good and evil? Join Jack on this dark take on the implications of isekai. Will he get his revenge, or will he die, and life will stay the same as he rots in his grave?

Beneath the Veil of Shadows by author_bri

"Elias, what am I getting myself into?" Sapphire whispered, her voice trembling as she gazed up at him. His eyes, dark and intense, locked onto hers. "You're getting into me, Sapphire. All of me." Elias's fingers traced the curve of her neck, sending shivers down her spine. "But what does that mean?" Sapphire's hands fluttered to his chest, feeling the steady beat of his heart. "It means you'll see the worst of me," Elias warned, his voice low and husky. "The shadows I hide in, the secrets I keep. You'll be vulnerable, Sapphire." "I'm already vulnerable," she countered, her voice barely audible. "Every time I'm with you, I feel like I'm drowning." Elias's grip on her tightened. "I'll be your lifeline, Sapphire. Your anchor. But you have to trust me." His lips brushed against hers, a whisper of a kiss. "Trust you?" Sapphire's laugh was laced with desperation. "You're the one person I shouldn't trust." Elias's eyes flashed with pain, but his voice remained steady. "Maybe. But I'm the only one who can keep you safe." As their lips met in a fierce, desperate kiss, Sapphire knew she was walking into the very heart of danger - and she couldn't look away. --- When defense lawyer Sapphire Martin meets charismatic Elias Monroe at a charity gala, the attraction is undeniable. Sapphire is drawn to Elias's enigmatic smile while Elias admires Sapphire's unyielding passion. As their romance deepens, Sapphire must confront the darkness of Elias's past. With each passing night, she finds herself more entwined in Elias's world. As the stakes rise, she must decide: can she trust the man she loves, or will his secrets be her ultimate downfall? Elias, too, faces a reckoning. His feelings for Sapphire challenge the very foundations of his existence. Can he reconcile his loyalty to his organization with his growing love for the one woman who could destroy it all? Will their passion be the light that saves them, or the spark that destroys everything?

Frost by BelleOfHart

~Completed~ #1 In the Ice Series!! "What has the spies found?" I ask James. The map in front of me is riddle with white and black pins. Aric's attacks have gotten worse these past few weeks. King Daniel and his army arrived just in time to help us defend my kingdom. The shape shifters are deeply wounded by the death of my father and was glad when I asked them to fight. "The forrest has been breached and all kinds of creatures have been turning up dead in town. Some of the spies in the castle said that they plan to invade in the upcoming week." Then we'll need extra help. The only people strong enough to keep them at bay are the originals. "Send a message to Dimitri and Macon. We'll need all the help we can get." ~~~°°°~~~ "This'll hurt, a lot. When your suppressed your nature, you damaged your soul. Also bringing it back would normally take a few months, but our queen needs us, so it'll have to take 3 days maximum, " Dimitri says "Alright, what do I have to do? The message from Azara seemed urgent." "I have to tell you something before we do this." "Shoot." "When you are a full fae again, you will feel an unimaginable pull towards Azara. She is your mate."

Umbraphile || Azriel x oc by vampirelover1864

"You think I give a shit about everyone else in Prythian if it's your life on the line?" Azriel snapped. Eclipse's eyes watered and she looked away in frustration. Azriel reached forward and grabbed her chin forcing her to look at him. Eclipse's breath caught in her throat at the intensity of his stare. "If it's you or Prythian, I will light the fucking fires myself and burn it all to the ground." "Az-" she breathed softly staring into his hazel eyes. "No. I waited 500 years for this, for you, and if you think that I will ever be okay with spending one Cauldron damned second of this life without you from this point forward, then you are sorely mistaken." He stared deeply into her eyes. "If you.. Mother.... If you die Eclipse there's no fucking point to anything. Mate or not you are the light of my life. Nothing makes sense without you, it's all just blood and shadow without you and I can't, I won't go back to that. So if you go, then I'm following right behind." What if, hear me out, but what if Rhysand's sister hadn't been the youngest of his blood relations. What if, before her death she had been married off to the heir to the Day Court? What if they had a daughter? Born somewhere in between the day and night, a bridge between the courts. Powers from both. An affinity to control the light and dark, an intuition so keen she had never been wrong a day in her life, an affinity for magic and spells so strong she could rival her father, known by many names. The Warrior Princess, the Candle in the Dark, Daydreamer, Eclipse; Spell Weaver.

Release Me by anna_rose01

Highest ranked- #10 in action 2/16/2017 A promotion. That's all I wanted. I didn't want to run for my life. I didn't want to be kidnapped. I didn't want to face death. I didn't want to find out my whole life was a lie. I just wanted a bloody promotion. Guess fate had other plans? **** The cold air fanned over my face as I opened the door. The exit door lead to the back of the building so it was pitch black. I leaned against the wall trying to control myself. Blood was running down my arm and head. My hair was stuck to my face from all the sweat and blood. Everything was spinning around me and the ground seemed like it was shaking. Groaning I sat down and put my head on my knees. He knows who I am. He knows how I look like. He knows where I work so possible knows where I live. I am not safe anymore... no where. While I was in my own world I heard faint sounds behind me but I didn't bother to look or run away. The footsteps got closer and I was pretty sure it was Walker's men. I should run. I should try to fight. But what's the point in trying to run away? He would eventually find me and if he has his way he would most likely kill me. If this is my fate then why am I trying to fight it? I felt someone harshly grab my waist and pull me up and I complied. They dragged me down the alley and into the busy street. I heard the opening of a car and the next thing I knew I was being thrown into a car. My head hit the hard leather seat and the door shut behind me. Maybe this is how my life will end. Maybe I should just let it happen. Maybe I was destined to die alone as a no one. With that I let the darkness consume me.

Tomorrow's Blues by fadedxfires

~"You don't- you don't need me." I stared in shock. This was the first shred of emotion he'd shown since he started avoiding me, and I had no idea how to respond. What was I supposed to say to something like that? So I let myself be honest, and I told him exactly how I felt. "But I do." I almost choked on my words. "I do need you. I can't talk to anybody else. I can't eat. I can't sleep. And I know you know what that's like."~ Liliana is now an orphan. Just 17 years old, she lost her parents in a boating accident and now she must live with her best friend, her best friend's parents and her best friend's brother, Joseph.

Love never dies - Klaus Michaelson by 1mixedlady20

I could hear her heart race and her breath get heavy. When she looked up at me, I saw tears run down her red cheeks. She flipped over onto her back and crawl away from me. I stood over her and I laughed at her helpless state. "I know a thousand ways to hurt you without spilling a drop of your blood. So, you either come quietly or in pain. Your choice?" I heard her cry and watched her tears stain her face. I almost wish Nik was here to see her cry in fear, it is so entertaining. Suddenly, I felt something pierce through my chest. My eyes widened. I gasped out in pain. My hands went to my heart. I inhaled some air quickly. I felt myself grow weak like I was falling to the ground. I was surprised that I was on the floor. I looked down at my hands. They had turned gray. I felt lifeless. The veins in my body rose to the top of my skin while the gray covered everything. The last thought I had before the end was one name. Nik? _________________________________________________________ Dawn Gilbert has just lost her parents.

Attracted to His Cold by whore_for_mafia

It wasn't really the result I was looking for. In fact, it was even better. I never really thought that this would happen to me. I never believed someone could love, well, me. But they did. He did. And despite his 'reputation', despite his lifestyle, despite everything everyone had ever told me, I loved him just as unconditionally. But will everything stay in harmony? How long will my paradise last for until my past comes back? Will they haunt me? Catch me? Kill me? "Livia? Tiago?" I ask, my voice breaking slightly. If they're here, then.... "Where is he? Where's-" "Gattina." All the breath in my lungs disappear as I turn to find the source of the voice. Half-way through my turn, I can see his dark silhouette at the end of the hallway. When I breathlessly say my next word, it feels as if I can breathe properly again for the first time in over a month. "Lupo." I run towards him without a second thought, sprinting full speed at him, and jump into his awaiting arms. He engulfs me in the warmest hug I've ever felt, entrapping me entirely - not that I mind. I cry in joy at finally being reunited with him as I bury my head into his neck, burrowing myself into him and vowing never to let him go again. Unwrapping myself from him, I look up at into his eyes. They're filled with love and relief, the same emotions I imagine my eyes are filled with. That quickly changes when his face contorts into one of pain. "Cole?" my brows furrow in confusion. He lets out a pained and strangled noise before he drops to his knees, collapsing at my feet. I gasp when I see Viktor behind him, holding a bloodied knife. A/N: Hey guys. Be prepared for dark themes, mature language, mature scenes, and so much more.

Things are getting worse, that's for sure" a red head spirit said. He simply shook his head as he watched shit go down. He watched as a red headed girl who looked like a female version of him smack an orange haired slut. "You go sis!" He said cheerfully. "Sorean! Come back here!" was the distant yells of a white haired demon. "Coming Sire!" he said. Standing up, the male gave one last look. "You better survive this, Soph, Kuu" he muttered silently as he walked away. ----------------------------------------------- Who's the enemy? -----------------------------------------------
