In a world where humans reign and vampires are enslaved, Eden has been raised in secret, locked behind lab doors by men distinguished in white. But all that changes on a cold, frosty night. An accident occurs, a hole in a fence and a dead guard is all Eden needs to escape from his hellish nightmare. Slowly running low on blood, he tumbles back into the snow glazed ground, buried in mere minutes. Frost slowly bites its way up his body and Eden begins to somberly accept his fate until a large group of humans stumble upon his dying form. 

Malik has lead his people for close to six years since his father's passing. He has spent his days ruling with an iron fist and nights playing among his selection of appealing bed mates. When hearing of an unexpected man brought back to his lair at the dead of night, Malik is infuriated. Angered, he demands an audience. But when he is met with an alluring man, thoughts of anger are swiftly replaced with awe. Never being more infatuated with a single being in his life, Malik is immediately smitten by the beautiful stranger, unaware of the man's true species.

Eden expects a brief masquerade, masking as a human until his escape is established. However, when he becomes entwined in an unexpected love to one of the leaders of humankind, his dilemma takes the form of a sudden battle between mind and heart. 
But as a vampire playing the part of a human, like a wolf in sheep's clothing, there's only so long before his mask chips and secrets turn to claws.

44 parts Complete Mature
Book One of the Haunted Lover's Duo "People in the real world always say, when something terrible happens, that the sadness and loss and aching pain of the heart will 'lessen as time passes', but it isn't true. Sorrow and loss are constant, but if we all had to go through our whole lives carrying them the whole time, we wouldn't be able to stand it. The sadness would paralyze us. So in the end we just pack it into bags and find somewhere to leave it." - Fredrik Backman, My Grandmother asked me to tell you she's Sorry. Still wrought with grief from the loss of his older brother, Eden Moir seeks out Malcolm Reed, the best SN lawyer currently working in the surface world. His intentions are mere justice for his brother, who was wrongfully murdered by hunters. Eden has been juggling work and home life, or more like drowning in it, and is in a constant struggle with the tight budget that is being washed away by his mother's drinking problem. Yet, Eden yearns for more as he gets to know Malcolm. He desires for the witch to be more than his lawyer, despite how detrimental it could be for his brother's case. Love is worth the risk, after all, right? Sadly, Malcolm might not see things the same way, looking at the bigger picture, not wanting to cost those around him the career he has built all for his own selfish wishes. But, in the end, there is something far worse at play, lurking beneath the shadows, waiting for the right moment to pounce... waiting for the right opportunity to dredge up the agony within Eden's heart once again.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐆𝐈𝐀𝐍𝐏𝐈𝐄𝐑𝐎 𝐃𝐘𝐍𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐘 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐒 (𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐀𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐄) "Just how far are you willing to go?" Dario asked, eyes lit with demanding desire that left his lover barely able to speak. Silence hung over them, seconds dialling down to minutes spent staring into each others eyes. Hyun was the first to speak. Throat parched as the words stumbled out in breathless whispers. "As far as your love can take me." • • • Devious. Talented. Psychopathic. Dario Gianpiero had many names on a list that offered to describe him. All of which were true about him.

Wu Hyun-Seok had the looks and brains to succeed in any aspect life threw at him. With a focused and unrelenting character, he wasn't one to back out of a challenge.

Escape is Only Temporary [boyxboy] by FKNichols17

Shepherd had run all his life. Constant, unabating movement that consumed him. It was relentless, be it the demons within his own mind or external pursuers out of his control, there was always another beast snapping at his heel, urging him forward in the eternal chase. But that was behind him. He was settled now, happy, hidden away from the prying eyes and reaching claws. Until He returned. Reece Greymoore, a name Shepherd so desperately wished to eradicate from his mind. Their meeting had been brief, a lifetime ago, ending on soured notes that Shepherd no longer allowed to disturb his slumber. Reece shouldn't have found him, and yet there he was, speaking of friendship and favours and other pleasantries that had Shepherd's guard firmly bolstered around himself. But Reece never appeared in a shower of sunshine and rose petals. Rather, he spoke of so much worse, of threats to Shepherd's very life. Promises of safety fell upon deaf ears, disbelief a much more comforting blanket to reside within. Reece was not only an alpha but he was a ghost, a figure within Shepherd's past that should have never arisen. He arrived with death and dismay in his wake, sweet words weren't repayment enough. Reece's presence had shattered the fragile cage around Shepherd, allowing the light in, reminding him of the freedom of the chase. The roots he had planted were withering, tearing apart beneath him, leaving nothing but rot and decay where he stood. Maybe running was just how it was meant to be...

Lucius, the less favored twin brother of Prophet Julian, was forced into marrying the Vampire Crown Prince Dorian under his brother's name as part of a truce and subsequently fell in love with his enigmatic husband. After helping Dorian claim the throne and become the first human Royal Consort of the vampire kingdom Eternia, Lucius thought he finally had found his perfect fairytale happy ending. However, his happy-ever-after only lasted several months. After Lucius's treacherous secret mission was exposed, the Royal Consort fell from grace, lost his husband's love and respect, and was imprisoned in the Northern Tower for a year. Everyone in the court was speculating when King Dorian would divorce Lucius and execute him. And just when Lucius thought things couldn't have gone worse than this, fate mocked him once more. One day, Lucius woke up and found himself branded as a human slave and trapped in the worst situation. Once lost all his privileges, he witnessed the true horror and cruelty of a world in which humans were dominated and used as livestock.

Reap the Earth at Which you Stand [boyxboy] by FKNichols17
55 parts Complete Mature
Growing up in chaos isn't simple for all. Not many could cope. They would struggle and kick, but ultimately drown. However, for Dakota, that was his normality. Torturing. Maiming. Killing. That was his life, the life of a hunter. The Arizona line was elusive, written fame in the lore of hunters, and infamy for their prey. They were the best. No one could ever compare to their skills, their abilities, their ruthlessness. But Dakota was something else. His siblings might have learnt to enjoy the hunt, well most of them anyway, but Dakota didn't. There was always something missing for him, something he was waiting on. Silent and everlasting hope. A promise had been made to him, the day his twin brother was stolen, taken by the enemy, plucked right from the very home the Arizonas had grown up in. A promise of something better, something that he might actually want in his life. Now, almost sixteen years later, something was coming. A change was begging to be found. Maybe it would be for the best. Maybe Dakota would finally find that certain something that had been missing his whole life, something to fill the dark and fractured abyss that ached and wailed within. But nothing was ever that simple. Because, of course, the promise that had been made to Dakota would never be anything plausible for him, anything tangible to have and to hold. He had been promised a new life, by the greatest enemy of them all. It wouldn't be easy. Not with his family still clinging to his heels, the teachings of blood and violence burnt into his mind. No, leaving them behind wouldn't ever be easy. Then again, staying with them would only bring his inevitable death. Why not take the chance to die happy? After all, out of the ashes, a phoenix will rise...
