curse devil magic poetry short story

As a young woman Anna has a short, passionate love affair with a mysterious young man with looks, brains, and most a seductive power known as "duende." 
This same dark power that pulls her toward him, will also turn out to be a curse she has to break.  Not completely believing in magic or knowing how to break the curse, Anna continues to look for love in all the wrong relationships until she meets a handsome graduate student in ancient symbolism who holds the key to unlocking the curse, but as the truth of her past unravels before her, she will have to choose between love and magic, what is real and what is fiction.

All That Ever Happened by Craving_the_Charm

Avalon has been having dreams of someone so special yet unknown to her since her accident. She constantly loses memories when she passes out at random times. Her two best friends, who began dating not too long ago, seem to be acting strange towards her. As days pass, she tries to figure out who this man is and she finds that he may be a lot closer to her than she originally expected. Note: This is a story I created and submitted a while back for a writing contest that had a maximum word count of 16,000 words and I wanted to make the most with having such a wide range, so this is likely to be one of the longest stories I will put on here. Thank you to anyone who reads :)

Silver {Book One} by HannahEdge8

"What of this thief I hear that has hidden themselves in The Lands of Luxury?" I say. Rail lowered his emerald eyes towards the horizon. "Have you thought of my proposal?" Rail asks, avoiding my question. He had asked me many times to become his protector and leave the True One. Of course, I always say no. It pained me to see the hurt in his once peaceful eyes. "You know my answer." I whisper. I lay my hand on top of his. There was always a spark that clouded my mind when I touched Rail. I pull away, dropping my eyes. "This was a wonderful gathering, Rail. Thank you, but I must return to the True One." I begin to light the room with my silverlight overpowering Rail's golden blaze, getting ready to flash. "Wait! Stay to find the thief. Please, Aderes." I'm hovering over the floor. Rail grabs my hand, and the shock brings me back to him. I lower myself and let go of him. "I will stay until the thief is found. Then I must return to the True One's heaven." I try to smile at Rail to calm him. It works. His green eyes linger on me as I walk away from the balcony and return to the gathering. *** After meeting Jay, Sarah's father is killed, which causes her to accidentally tap into unknown powers. Sarah begins to learn the truth about who Aderes is and how Sarah herself is connected to her. But most importantly, she learns who's been lying to her since the beginning.

Midnight by maniacesther

Duke, a brilliant yet introverted college student at Umbra University, lives with a dark secret. By day, he is human-the top of his class, admired for his intelligence though barely noticed by most of his peers. But when night falls, a cruel curse takes hold, transforming him into a helpless cat until dawn. For years, Duke has hidden this truth, avoiding close relationships and keeping everyone at arm's length. That is, until he crosses paths with Eren, a charming and outgoing transfer student who seems to see right through his walls. When Eren unexpectedly adopts a stray cat-unaware that it's actually Duke in his cursed form-their lives become intertwined in ways Duke never imagined. As strange events unfold within Umbra University, Duke discovers that Eren may hold the key to breaking his curse. But the closer they grow, the more dangerous things become. Shadows from Duke's past and the evil magician who cursed him threaten not only his secret, but Eren's life as well. Now, Duke must decide: will he risk revealing the truth and his heart, or remain forever trapped between two worlds-a brilliant student by day, and a silent, helpless cat by night?

Taken For The Alpha by Midika

*18+ read at your discretion!* My hands tremble by my sides. "Don't sleep with her..." He steps toward me, his eyes dark. "Why not?" "Whatever you were planning to do to her tonight, do it to me instead," I whisper. *** Ayah has always been unremarkable in every way other than in the power she wields.

That is, until a man appears below her balcony, giving her a glimpse into the freedom she could finally have. However, the moment she starts to trust him, he takes her captive, revealing his identity to be a powerful Alpha who needs her to heal his younger sister. But when the girls illness becomes impossible for Ayah to heal, she is dragged on a journey beside the Alpha to find an amplifier. On the way she learns their connection goes deeper than their heated attraction, to a soul bond neither can deny.

Hollowspire by Renee1645077

In a city where magic is bound by iron and oaths, Nyx has spent years hunting the things that slip through the cracks - demons, devourers, creatures whispered about in forgotten prayers. She's good at it, until a single mission leaves her bloodied, bound to a voice she can't silence, and staring down a war she doesn't understand. As her orders grow murky and the wards that keep the world safe begin to flicker, Nyx is pulled deeper into a web of old prophecies and older hungers. Every step she takes toward the truth draws her closer to the thing she's sworn to destroy... and to the shadowed figure whose help she can't seem to refuse. Ancient power is waking. The Spire is hollowing. And Nyx may be the last barrier between the world and a hunger older than its name. Please feel free to give constructive criticism. It's been a while since I've been back in the writing game but I got inspired for this.

Is it too late to say Sorry? by iambellissima_nishaz

"The fuck you are leaving me." His roar cracked through the hall like lightning. Ara didn't blink. She stood there, calm as death, done to her core. No tears. No tremble. Just a weary exhale as she turned her back on him - the one thing he never thought she'd do. Before she could take a step, his hand shot out, gripping her arm like he was holding on to life itself. "Where are you going, Ara!" His command shook the pack. But she wasn't his to command. Not anymore. Ara ripped her arm free with a force that made even his wolf recoil. "Don't. Touch. Me." Her aura slammed into him, cold and merciless. "You think I'll stand here and watch you mate and breed her?" she hissed, every word a dagger. His throat bobbed. "She meant nothing." She laughed - sharp, broken, brutal. "Yeah? That's why you were fucking her in your office? Couldn't even hide the scent of your betrayal." "Ara, it was a mistake-" She stepped closer, eyes blazing. "Your mistakes come in episodes, Alpha. Season one, season two, season three. You don't make mistakes. You make choices." He swallowed hard. "I don't need her. I need you." "Lies," she spat. "Every damn sentence you breathe is a lie. I can't even look at you without feeling sick." He flinched like her words physically hit him. "That female behind you?" she pointed, not bothering to glance. "Perfect for you. Go mark her. Breed her. Hell, fuck her for all I care." Her voice cracked - but she kept going, blade steady even when bleeding. "I don't need you. Not anymore." His knees crashed to the floor. The mighty Alpha. On the ground. For her. "Ara... I'm sorry. I'm really fucking sorry." His voice broke like he finally understood what loss tasted like. She stared at him with a sad, devastating smile. "Isn't it too late for that, Mate?" One tear escaped - and she crushed it away with her thumb. Then she turned. Walked. Didn't look back. But he didn't chase her. Because he knew. He didn't just lose her. He wrecked her.

CURSED SPOTLIGHT by soulfultale

"She loved him like magic... and he cursed her like a storm." YN never believed in curses-until love turned into a trap. Taehyung, the boy who made her feel alive, became the reason she was dying a little every day. He had a secret. A past tied to black magic. And when darkness returned to claim him, he let her take the fall. Now chained to a curse she didn't deserve, YN must fight her way out... While Taehyung watches from the shadows- not as a savior, but a sinner. And Jungkook? He stepped in when everything was already broken. But sometimes, broken things have the strongest hearts. A story of love, betrayal, and a curse that changes everything. Some endings aren't happy. Some are hauntingly beautiful.

Cruel Empathy ✓ by EmmeMoore86

Anna Holland is a college freshman with strange empathic psychic powers that she has managed to keep hidden. She senses auras, feels what others feel as though she feels them herself, and has powerful intuitions that she is inclined to follow. Unfortunately, one of these strong urges leads her to being sucked into another universe where she is at the mercy of a dangerous warlord who calls her a mage and claims to have been waiting for her. 🏅1st Place- Fantasy-🌸 The 2023 Flower Awards🌸 🏅1st Place- Fantasy-⚔️The Katana Awards⚔️ 🥈2nd Place- Fantasy- Serenity Book Awards 🥈2nd Place- Best Protagonist- Fluorescence Awards 🥉3rd Place- Fantasy- The Prime Awards 2023 ______________________________________________________ Excerpt: Anna felt the stabbing pain from her back to her chest. She felt his surprise. She felt his light extinguish as he died. Then there was nothing. Nothing. Her head was swimming like it was underwater. She couldn't move. She couldn't move. Her vision blurred, a man was speaking but she couldn't hear his words. She felt the sword in her chest, but it wasn't there. He killed him. He killed him. Breathe. Did she stop? Breathe. The man, she could hear him speaking. What was he saying? Breathe. She inhaled a deep breath. And another. Then another. Things started to clear. "Breathe. That's right," the warrior coaxed. She started to take another settling breath, and his face came more into focus. The first thing she noticed was his piercing green eyes. She had never seen eyes quite like that before. She stared into them, mesmerized. He mimicked a breath and she took it with him. She was coming back. "I will not hurt you," the man kneeling before her promised. Anna knew better than to believe him. What was it he had said? Oh. "You...you said...you said 'no witnesses'." She was shaking violently. She took another deep breath. "Ah, " he uttered in acknowledgment. "You are not a witness, you are the treasure

***Please read my message on November 12, 2019 (if you can) for enlightenment purposes*** "Who are you?" A certain Luna asked. "Tell me, why do I feel like this?" The Alpha in front of her just stayed frozen. "Why do you make me feel so....pained?" The Luna questioned as her hands slightly trembled. "You have suffered because of me. I deserve to be punished but please," He said as he tried to approach her. The Luna watched him in disbelief as the man embraced her tightly in his arms. "Please let me hold you in my arms, even if its just for awhile, even if its just for today. Please..." He begged as tears fell down from his face. 'If I tell her that she's my mate, then I will lose the right to remain by her side.' The Alpha firmly said inside his mind. 'Please, just let me stay while I can, because once she remembers me - I will have to leave.' ※◎※◎※◎※◎※◎-※◎※◎※◎※◎※◎ This book is a work of fiction. The cliche: "Alpha rejects his mate and regrets it once he sees her." WARNING: Over-used plot and plot holes. I just had to write it. *laughs* #MMRM ©Itwasonlyadream801 [Aleana Dela Cruz]
