The Forgotten Elements
Centuries ago, five families ruled the world - not with swords or crowns, but with power. The power of Nature's five sacred elements - Water, Fire, Air, Earth, and Lightning.

Their gifts were sealed, their bloodlines cursed, and their legacy forgotten. But legends have a strange way of returning. In a lonely hostel atop a misty hill, a group of college students are trapped during a storm. An eerie old caretaker begins to tell them the tale of the lost Elements - unaware that the story isn't just a myth. Because something ancient has awakened in those walls. And it wants its power back. A dark romance brews amidst horror and chaos - where love becomes both a curse and a weapon. When destiny ties two souls - one from light, one from shadow - the line between love and destruction begins to blur. ---

Beautifully Obsessed
He was her rock, her best friend, her first love. He became her worst nightmare, her tormentor, her captor She was his everything. His obsession. Their story should have ended with that court case, but he's found a way back to her, and he won't give her another opportunity to escape. Not this time. ------------------------------------------- Shivering, I sobbed out, unable to speak, unable to move. "Shh, shh, now baby-girl, it's alright, you're safe, don't cry" he soothed, moving closer to me. "N-Noah, I w-want to go home," I sobbed, feeling weak from my inability to talk without stuttering. A gasp left my parted lips as his hand forcefully connected with my cheek, "You are home, so I don't want to hear that crap from you, okay?" shaking, I looked down at my feet, his gaze too menacing to hold. "I said, do you understand" he spit through clenched teeth, "y-yes, I'm sorry" I whispered, a new wave of tears making their appearance. "Good girl, now I need you to keep being a good girl, okay?" nodding, my eyes met his dark ones. His form towered over me, making me feel small and irrelevant. "Words, Embry!" He demanded as I stuttered out a quiet yes. I studied him cautiously as he walked towards the far end of the room, shuffling through drawers before stalking back towards me and crouching down. I sucked in a breath as I saw the knife in his hand, his face held a mischievous grin as it glinted in the light. "Now baby-girl, you see, as much as I hate to, you need to be punished, do you know why?" Warning! This story is for mature audience, it contains strong language, abuse, mature themes and sensitive topics. Please enjoy, -Aphrodite.Complete
To Keep You
Love is a treacherous snare. It lures you in with sweetness, intoxicates you, convinces you that surrender is safety. Like a mosquito drawn to blood, you crave it even as it drains you. Like honey to a bear, it promises comfort while hollowing you out. And when you're weakest, it strikes with venom sharp enough to kill. Love has tried to claim me too, fixing its gaze on me like a lone star against a midnight sky. But I've learned its patterns. I know its games. I will not be ensnared again. Love may feast on the naive, on the hopeful, on those who believe it cannot harm them. I am not one of them. I am an oleander, beautiful and deadly, guarding my heart with quiet precision. Come too close and you will taste the poison of my warning. I will protect myself, even if love calls it cruelty. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Second Book In 'To Love A Godly Man ' series.
