My name is Aeris Thorne. I am a genetically modified human. And I'm in serious danger.
  
  PAINFUL SECRETS
  STARTLING TRUTHS.
  UNDENIABLE LOVE.
  
All it took was a chance meeting--one tingling glance across a darkened street to change my life.
  
I'd been searching for my two best friends in the crowded Zenith Club, which was a really bad idea because I'm totally claustrophobic. 
  
I burst outside. That's when I came face-to-face with Hunter Cayman. Dark-haired, tall, and leaning against an insane sports car, my pulse went haywire. The young doctor had his long muscular arms crossed over his leather jacket clad chest, and all his six-foot something would make any girl's knees turn weak. But then, if what Ella said was true, Hunter was the kind of guy who left behind a trail of broken hearts. And heartache was the last thing I needed right now.
  
Yet there's something strange, something almost superhuman about Hunter. It's more than that infuriatingly knowing grin. I'm trying to stop thinking about him, and I get the feeling he's avoiding me, too. Yet Deep Cove is a tiny town and every time we run into each other the tension literally crackles, sparking around us. It just figures that when suddenly I'm in danger, he's there to save me.
  
In truth, I should be dead. I should be shattered to pieces. How fast was I going on that ATV when I smashed into those iron gates? Ninety? A hundred? And the men who were chasing me, where did they go?
  
Somehow I'm whole.
  
Maybe better than whole. 
  
There's no one I can talk to, not even my best friend, Gage. Gage hates Hunter. He wants Hunter's laboratory to be shut down. He thinks Hunter's a monster. And yet, if that's true, if Hunter's a monster...than what am I? I'm not sure what terrifies me more, the metamorphosis taking place inside me, or the intensely powerful connection with a guy whose heart and soul has become linked with mine.All Rights Reserved

Mason - Archaic #4 (Sample of Published Book) by ReganUre

There is a darkness that lurks inside of me. The evil that runs through my veins is a constant reminder of the ruthless killer I once was. But somehow I've been changed. I'm not that person anymore. Unlike before, I can feel remorse for my actions even though guilt doesn't erase the past that still haunts me. I've been given a chance to lead a normal life. A chance to be a son, a brother and maybe more. My name is Mason. My future is undecided. I don't know if it will last. All I know for certain is that none of it will even matter if I can't escape my past. * Please note this is only a five chapter sample of the published story.

Finding Ryder by istrazivanje81

Jessica West is a rarity in her world, an alpha female blessed with sight. She has never been able to detect her own mate bond and believes she is mateless. Until she meets Ryder, an alpha heir from the neighboring pack, and her fated mate. The only problem is Ryder has a secret. Can the bond forged in the magic of fate and moon overcome the choices our past self made? excerpt: Anchoring into my skin, I slowly back away from my so-called mate. Distance is necessary. More necessary than breath. In fact I should stop inhaling his f***ing essence that clouds my head and entrances my wolf. "Answer me!" I whisper-scream at Ryder. "Yes." a pregnant pause hangs between us before he speaks again. "I am sorry Jessica. I didn't know. I didn't think it could be like this." His hands move between us, grasping for the invisible bond that ties us through the magic of our existence. His voice is pained. As if it hurts him to speak these words to me. How can he be in pain? How can a wolf choose another, it is beyond comprehension. It goes against our very nature. My mind is reeling. The inside of me is a mass of hurt, anger, frustration and arousal that won't go away. "What did you think? You would just come here, find your mate. Mark and mate her. Me! Mark and mate me, and then what, walk away?" I speak bitterly, spitting my words at him. The look on his face is a sharp slap on mine. A slow realization sinks in, cutting my soul irreparably. Ryder needed to mark and mate his fated mate to transition to full adult male. Without marking and mating ME he would forever stay juvenile in body. He couldn't inherit his alpha title. "Yes." it's a whisper, and yet his voice is so loud in my head, I choke on his spoken word.

Collapse: Book Two (bxb) ✔️ by PsychoSunbaenim

Book Two of Five in the New Beginnings Series. **You do NOT have to read Inhale, Exhale, & Breathe to enjoy these stories** SALEM LUNA: Does anyone ever feel like they're riding a mechanical bull that is never ending? No matter how many times you get thrown off the thing, you appear right back on it? No? Just me then? See, I have this best friend. Former. Best. Friend. It's taking my brain a while to get used to it. Whatever. I'm hopelessly in love with him, and I tried desperately to admit my feelings out loud. So, I did. Raven Fox told me not to love him, and the look he seared into my skin when he said it was now branded into my brain. Now we're on the university book club Christmas retreat. Who did I get roomed with? Raven because of course I was given the bird. The damn bird that didn't love me in return. Which would have been fine had he not looked like the idea disgusted him. Six months have gone by since that day, and our tension is growing with more animosity each second. Now, we're doing activities together, and Christmas is my favorite holiday. He's not screwing this up for me. After a snowstorm starts hitting, though, I end up stuck in the middle of nowhere, out of gas in my snowmobile. I'm terrified as the wind starts picking up and snow starts whipping my face. I thought he wasn't listening. That he didn't care. So, why did he become the one to save me? Why does he look so distraught? His words say one thing, but his eyes are telling me his words are lies. Raven is lying to me. He loves me. But he doesn't want me to love him. All I want to know is why because I can't breathe without him anymore.

𝐁𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐒𝐅𝐔𝐋 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐎𝐒 | SPINOFF by -eroticsaint

𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀 𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐓 (ANGEL) Older. Scary. Silent. Damon Lars was always lurking in the shadows, a sinister presence that scared me. It would be oblivious for me not to notice him even in the darkest areas. He was there. Maybe invisible to others, not to me. My brother's best friend, Damon, was notorious for his dark reputation. While I immersed myself in books, I could feel his gaze upon me. Sometimes, I feel him notice me too. No one knows what happens when all my brother's friends are busy. I saw him. Every day. And I vowed to keep my mouth shut. My secret. And his. STELLA RUSSEL (PRINCESS) Rich. Entitled. Bratty. That was me, and I'm proud. I hated Grayson Meadows. He constantly treated me as if I were a spoiled rich brat - which I was - our fathers being business partners made us around each other a lot. Despite his mocking, he always protected me, causing me to feel uneasy in his presence. If I harbor such animosity towards him, why do I find myself concerned for him too? I hate him. But I fucking need him more. LILIANA ROSELINE (DOLLFACE) Jaxon's intense gaze always sent shivers down my spine, as if he could see right through me. He was Marci's violent older brother, a brooding figure with a penchant for chaos. Danger seemed to emanate from him like a dark aura. Yet, amidst his menacing aura, he would fixate his eyes on me, as if I were the epitome of perfection. But could a girl, so perfect, ever be enticed by a man like him? Yes, because I'm so deep down in love with him. AVERY RAVEN (LITTLE DEVIL) Alessio, the loud figure, refers to me as the 'little devil' and feigns animosity towards me. He says he hates me a lot. However, deep down, I am aware that his feelings are quite the opposite. In the dead of night, when the world slumbers, he clandestinely dials my number on each of my birthdays, evoking an unsettling sensation within me. Until last summer, when everything went south and I ruined Alessio's life

My Alpha? (SAMPLE) by ElleJSmith

"Why are you following me?" She eyes me suspiciously, like she doesn't trust someone wanting to say hello. "I want to know your name. Mate." There, I said it, maybe that'll ease her mind. "What? No, not possible." What. The. Hell. ********************************************************* Her father dead, abandoned by her mother and forgotten by her pack, Aurelia just wanted to work her way into a better life. She always kept to herself, not wanting attention. All she wanted was to get through high school and move on to bigger and better things.

Atlantis Academy: The First Element by AutumnKalquist

Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?

Our Forbidden Love by kyrieroy_014

He dismissed me due to his pride and self-image, prioritizing his reputation and power above all else. He deems me unworthy to stand beside him, solely concerned with his own stature. Yet, he is mistaken. I explicitly warned him not to spurn my humanity, yet Dante's human disregarded my plea. Now, consequences will unfold, and he will endure the repercussions. I intend to inflict suffering upon all. Although he may be the lord of demons, I possess the capability to draw blood and immerse him in his own agony. I crave to hear his screams echoing with torment, a symphony of pain and torture. I will subject him to countless deaths until he pleads for mercy. My human may have lost herself, but I am here to anchor her. She might be numb from his rejection, while I am consumed by anger. No other emotions can bring me stability as the fiery rage within me seeks to obliterate every fragment of this world, starting with his kingdom. I will reveal to the entire world that what everyone believed to be dead is still alive, poised for a grand reappearance that will instill fear in all. Let's see if you can recognize your own mate, my dear ex-soulmate.... ****** Paranormal romance action genre.. read it at your risk... 18+ content... All Copyright are reserved...

Celestial Wulf Chronicles: Trapped by Omo-Ochum1980

Cold seeps into my bones as I wander the dark forest before me; the frigid air from the mountains enveloping me in a tight, chilling grip. Shadows dance across the ground as the light of the moon shines downward through the swaying treetops. Leaves and sticks crunch beneath my feet as I continue to wander forward; my body instinctively hiking up a small slope to my right. My mind is numb, confused, anxious. What is this place? Where am I going? How did I get here? Ascending the slope, the trees eventually reveal a small meadow. Moonlight reflects off the dew of the grass, creating a soft silver glow. In the distance, I see a small circle, made of what appears to be field stones. A sense of coming home blended with deep trepidation and fear spreads throughout my being. My body continues forward against my will, leading me towards the center pillars. The sudden scent of pine, moss and . . . cedar. . . begin to set my mind at ease; its intoxicating fragrance fills my nostrils. "Closer, a whisper fills my mind. Closer. Do not be afraid, lost one. Closer." That voice? I know that voice but from where? Where am I? more importantly, Why can't I remember? I know you exist. It's been 14 years still I have not found you. My dream shows me you do exist mate. But where are you? The time to complete my promise is coming. My OBSESSIVE SEARCH has slowly turned me into a psychotic Alpha......and still........ WAIT!...... THAT SCENT!!! It's YOU!!! I found you!! I feel my heart pounding so hard in my chest, its close to exploding. yet before my obsession envelops me there is a moment of clarity "At last, I found you." and my thought changes. Deadly is my intent "Goddess HELP ANYONE WHO STANDS IN MY WAY!!!" Two Wulves, one lost in his mind, another losing his heart. Has the Goddess finally breathed peace to both? Uniting a forgotten world granting peace to a bitter heart? Only she knows.

In Your Dreams by Mystery245

One thing is certain. You can never escape it. DEATH. A five-letter word. But what if you could escape it. Well, Templar May is about to find a world where you have unlimited time. A place where your wildest dreams and biggest fears come to life. -----------_--------------- I know I am dreaming but I can not keep my eyes from the vibrant trees and amazing green that surrounds me. Heavy blankets of moss cover the trees in beautiful green layers. Clovers dominate the forest floor in thick bunched patches. My eyes gaze at the unfathomably tall pine trees that seem to touch the heavens. I know I am dreaming but I can feel the cold creep up my spine and my breath comes out in thick foggy clouds that reach for the heavens. My mind slips into a foggy haze that mirrors the fog blanketing the forest when I see it. At first, it is just a glimpse of black. Then I realize that this black is a thick mass of hair attached to a person. Whoever it is, their back is to me. From the stature and muscle tone, they appear male. Tan skin shines as a bright contrast against the various shades of green that blanket everything. A force pulls me in like a siren's call. Pinpricks manifest under my skin as a growing sense of danger fills my body. The magnetic force continues to draw me in as if I do not have any choice in the matter. Something deep inside my body, deep inside my very soul screams at me to run away and never return but, the siren's call continues. Tension tightens my muscles as an alarming desire within me registers. I want this. I do not know why but I want to know whoever this is. But as I come within yards of the stranger, my dream changes. I am outside of my body watching the color drain from my still body and blank eyes as my blood soaks the once bright green foliage on the forest floor. Editing later on
