"You have some nerve coming to this town Brownie," he huskily whispers in my ear.
A shiver runs down my spin and I take a breath "And why is that Preston?" I counter.
"Because this town is full of dirty secrets, and your innocent soul will never be safe here" he scoffs before stepping away and running off into the night.

The Prophecy by lspearson
27 parts Complete
Ariella's biggest desire in life has always been such a simple one. She wants to be 'normal.' Unfortunately, that one simple wish has never been within her grasp. Coming from a long line of witches is bad enough, but she's even more different than the rest of her family. The fact that no one will give her any answers to why she's so different doesn't help matters. Her entire existence is shrouded in secrets that everyone around her refuses to reveal. After a family tragedy, she moves to a new town, and she gets her first chance to at least pretend to be 'normal.' For the first time, she's allowed to leave the house and go to an actual school. She makes friends, and she develops her first crush, that's quickly followed by her second. She's finally living the normal teenage life she'd dreamed of, but it doesn't last. Everything she believed about herself and the world around her is changed in an instant. Family secrets come to light one after another, turning her entire world upside down in the process. She quickly realizes that sometimes ignorance really is bliss, and maybe she didn't really want to know the answers to the questions she'd always asked, especially when one of these truths causes people close to her to turn their backs on her without hesitation. Before she can even recover from the shock, she's thrust into a war that she hadn't even known existed. Loyalties will be tested. She'll have to choose sides between all of the people she's come to care about. Will she stand with her family, her new friends, or the two boys who both hold a piece of her heart? One thing is for sure. She'll have to let go of her dream of 'normal.'

I questioned while furrowing my eyebrows, "I just saw a girl trying to protect herself." She scoffed, pushing her hair behind her ear and shaking her head, "you saw a monster didn't you?" "No," I shook my head sitting back, "I saw you. We turn into pretty similar creatures, why do you think we're in a cave?" I smiled and lit my eyes up yellow and watched her immediately follow mine. I looked at her stomach. "You aren't healing," I sat up. "I know," she said confused, "I don't know what's happening or why. He did something last night that was insane. He- I probably shouldn't talk about it."****
lilith's whisper by nyxallign
19 parts Complete
In the heart of an ordinary college campus, she exists-like a secret whispered by the stars. layla, an enigmatic girl of unearthly beauty, is more myth than mortal. Her presence feels like a spell, her gaze like a riddle, and her name like a melody that lingers too long. They call her the "Whisper of Lilith," a being so dangerously enchanting that even her shadow seems to carry whispers of forbidden allure. lucien , a quiet writer lost in the mundane, stumbles upon her like a sailor drawn to a siren's song. She becomes the axis of his world, and his obsession spills into his words. He writes feverishly about her: the way her laughter dances like candlelight, the way her eyes carry galaxies, and the subtle danger that wraps around her presence like smoke. But the closer he gets, the more layla's mystery deepens. Rumors of her otherworldly nature grow-stories of dreams shattered, lives changed, and darkness cloaked behind her divine beauty. One fateful evening, lucien finds a letter slipped into his journal-a note in handwriting he knows too well but has never seen before. "Stay away, or lose yourself." When he confronts her under the glow of the moon, her answer isn't what he expects. "What if the beauty you crave is the end you fear?" she whispers, her lips curling into a smile both cruel and kind. The air grows cold, and suddenly, Lucie isn't sure if she's human at all. What has he unearthed? And can he survive the truth about the girl who isn't meant to belong to this world?

"Running from me already, little one?" The voice was a whisper against my skin, dark and knowing. I turned too fast. Too desperate. He was closer than I expected-tall, lean muscle wrapped in black silk. Whiskey-colored eyes traced my lips, my throat. Slow. Unrelenting. "Do I feel familiar?" I swallowed hard. "No." He smirked. "Liar." His fingers brushed my wrist, and a current shot through me. My breath hitched. My body knew him. Even if my mind refused to. But that was impossible... wasn't it? - Kathryn Laurent came to Paris for a fresh start. What she found was something else entirely-something dark, intoxicating, inescapable. The dreams started first. A man with burning whiskey eyes. A touch that ignited and destroyed in equal measure. A voice that echoed in her bones. In those dreams, he ruined her-slowly, relentlessly-until she woke trembling, her body marked by something that should not be real. Then she saw him. Flesh and blood. Real. A star. A shadow. A presence that bent the world around him. He watches her like he knows every inch of her body. Like he's had her before and intends to again. But Kate doesn't remember him. And he? He has spent centuries remembering her. The past is tangled in the present, passion twisted with possession, love with vengeance. He is both her salvation and her downfall. The man who haunts her dreams and now, her reality. And when he finally touches her, there will be no waking up from it. Some loves are written in the stars. Some are written in blood. And some were never meant to be forgotten. - Tropes & Themes : ★ Dark, seductive romance ★ Fated lovers, past-life obsession ★ Mysterious, brooding hero with a sinful touch ★ Tension so thick it lingers like a ghost ★ Paris-luxury, shadows, and whispered temptation ★ Dreams that leave evidence behind ★ Mature, explicit smut-raw, consuming, inevitable ★ A love too powerful to stay buried ★ The line between fate and possession 18+
