I felt him behind me, dangerously close. His hands clenched the granite counter on either sides of me. I could feel his cold breath on my bare shoulder, causing my heart rate to accelerate so fast that each heartbeat blurred into the next. I was unbearably still, despite my spiked breaths, when I sensed his mouth right by my ear. Closing my eyes, I focused on regaining the breath he had stolen from me. That's when he whispered huskily, the words ricocheting in my head long after he was gone, "I hate you."  •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••  The world of Atlantis is gone, vanished.

The Search for Soul in Everything by Mandy_Koukee

Vanora felt weak as she laid on the ground, a piercing migraine in the back of her eye throbbing to her rapid heartbeat. As she stood up to orient herself, she had a hard time adjusting her eyes to the sunlight above her. The ocean was calming, and she closed her eyes to listen closer to the shushing of the waves, and smell the salt in the air. Regaining her strength, she opened her eyes once more. The land was unfamiliar, rocky shores and lush grasses weren't anything she was used to. Where was she? As she looked around, she noticed a large crash site very close by. She stood up, breathlessly looking over the ship. "You seem far from home." {#1 in ASTARION: 9/18/23} {#1 in BG3: 9/18/23}

I Am Bree - Book 1 by WriterByNight12

****Copyrighted**** 'Tell me you don't feel it.' He whispered against my lips, and the trembling that had ceased at the feel of his lips against mine began again with renewed vigor. 'Tell me it's not what you want, and I'll go. You'll never have to see me again.' Swallowing, I looked up at the eyes that had entranced me from the start. I took in his every feature, slowly and deliberately. I thrilled at the feeling of his arms enfolding me, and I inhaled his familiar scent with a trembling breath. And then, then I did the most foolish thing imaginable: I flung my arms about his neck and kissed him with all that I had, almost losing myself in the safety and security I felt. But more than that, I ran. I took his moment of shock, the slight loosing of his arms about me, and tore myself away from him, shoving out the door and into the rain. I suppose I'll never know why he didn't follow me. It was the thing I feared most. I knew that if he came for me a second time, I wouldn't be able to say 'no'. I wouldn't be able to run. But I had to. I had to go. I couldn't let him be hurt because of me. He would live on now, and I would marry another. I had leased my last bit of passion in that one moment in his arms, and as I made my way through the dark streets, I felt myself become dull and lost like the creatures bound in the menagerie. **Much of this was written when I was younger and then I came back later and finished it. There will likely be mistakes. Lots of them.

THE WİTCHES OF DEVONA by Beautiful_Gina

I ran as fast as I could. " you can't run away from me forever sweetheart, you are mine." He said, " what do you want from me?" I screamed at the top of my voice. I was frightened. "Isn't it obvious by now?" He asked but it was more of a statement. Suddenly, he was in front of me making me stop abruptly. He placed his hand on my face, and his fingers pierced into my skin, drawing out blood, I winced in pain. He brought his face close to mine. "You, I want you, Deva," Following that, he disappeared into thin air. My eyes flew open. My breathing was faster than usual. I had been dreaming. "It's him... Again" I whispered. "He's the one turning my dreams into nightmares." He's been doing this since the day I turned 15. I'm Deva Devona, a 20-year-old princess and the only daughter of Queen Devina. I grew up without the love of a mother. My Mother, Queen Devina, is a very powerful witch whose only worry is her kingdom. She's very powerful so she's feared by many including werewolves, vampires, and demons. Demons... Excluding the man who has been tormenting me in my dreams, even my mother fears him which means whoever he is, he's a mighty being. Little things I could gather of him told me he was indeed a very powerful person. The most powerful person in the world.

Out of the Dark (Book #1) {Complete ✔} by DarinGeek

When I was little, my mother used to tell me stories about an ancient world that contained mystical and strange creatures -created by the gods it was supposed to divide the humans and the creatures. Her stories were mostly about brave Guardians that had the obligation of protecting the other world. This world was to be called the Portal World. As I grew up in difficult conditions I dismissed all those ideas out of my head. Tales are for children and nothing of it was true. Or so I thought. Until the day the guy I hated the most saved me from imminent death. *** Deep in my being an unbearable anger scattered itself through my body. I clenched my fists. A violent jerk started building up to my vocal cords. I gritted my teeth to keep it under control but in vain my lips began to move. "My life is not an Illusion!" The small crowd still gathered inside the café went silent as they all turned to see what was happening. I bit my lip in embarrassment. Jack slowly turned around and instantly met my eyes. "You'd be surprised", he stated with a disturbing twinkle in his eyes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you for stopping at this book. I've put it through the process of editing it and it might take a while but I'll try to get it done as soon as possible.

Bad Blood {Completed} by TeaNHeartache

The Enforcers are up against a formidable foe who has more planned than just the elimination of some wolves. The whole supernatural and natural world is in jeopardy if they don't find a way to get rid of him and his followers. All the old characters are here along with some new ones. (Sequel to The Hunted) Excerpt: "Lex, I think you should just sit down." Gideon says to me in an almost plea. I look to him and then back to Victor who is clearly doing everything he can to contain his anger at the moment. I clench my teeth together and I do the dumbest thing I probably should have in that moment, "You can all go to hell." I say through gritted teeth. I have a problem with anger okay? It couldn't just back down to these he-man wannabe's after all the BS that they had put me through. My eyes widened as Victor let out a fierce roar and then before my eyes he went from man to beast. It happened so quickly that no one even had a moment to respond to it. He was charging at me from across the room and I was standing frozen with wide eyes as he came at me. The wolf collided with me full force and my body slammed into the ground with a sickeningly loud crack. I felt all my bones snapping and rattling together as I hit the ground. The wolf caged me underneath himself his big sharp teeth snarling inches from my face. I blinked a couple time as I stared into those glowing blue eyes and I felt my heart beating in ears. This was it, I was going to be killed because I couldn't keep my stupid mouth shut and just do what I had been told.

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?

Of Serpents and Stars by DET088

The tears felt hot running down my cheeks, despite the still, cold that surrounded me in the ship, "You are not the man I know." I growled, my fists clenching the stiff blankets on top of me. He only stared at me, his sad eyes falling down to his gloved hands. His voice was barely a whisper, as he replied, "That's because I'm not. And I never was." _____________________∆§∆____________________ After escaping from the cult that held her captive for two years, ex-bounty hunter, Yara, is forced to join deputy Cade and marshal Bone to retake their small town in hopes of gaining a shred of freedom. But, when an unknown militia infiltrates the Syndicate, the secrets Yara had kept for five years comes to light and she has to choose to either run away or face the dangers that threaten the planet she once called home. Will she entrust her skeletons in the closet to her comrades? Or will she die trying to keep them harbored within? ***DISCLAIMER*** This is the second draft of my novel.

Deviant Fate by __EL__el

"Gweneria." Arowin's deep voice bounced off the walls forcing everyone to flinch by the sheer volume. My demeanor never changed. I won't roll over like a dog for him. Glaring straight into his golden eyes I smirked. "It seems you're late to the party, my dearest divine." I sighed with fake disappointment. "Luckily, you've made it in time for the best part." I shot a wicked smile towards Gerin. I practically felt his fear from where I stood. "Enough of this flippancy!" Gerin shrieked. "This filth is nothing. A lowly woman!" He spoke to the crowd. "You couldn't kill me even if you tried." He scoffed. A deadly grin graced my face as I reveled in the thought of proving him wrong. "Shall we test his claim, Arowin?" I glimpsed over my shoulder. "Stop this, Gweneria." He spit. I could tell he was on edge. "What to do?" I tapped my finger on my chin in indecision. "My divine doesn't want me to entertain everyone. That seems like such a shame though." I feigned sadness then dropped my facade entirely as a dead look overcame my face. No one moved as they kept their stares on me. They feared me and I couldn't be more pleased.

The Billionaire's Love Conquest [UNEDITED] by MsDreamerGirl84

Warning: Contains some mature scenes. (Highest Rating: #34) Excerpt: "Look, I know we had a bad start, and you hated me, but can you give me a chance to show you that I'm not what you think?" he pleaded earnestly. His hands were tucked into his pockets, his gaze never leaves me. "Let me think about it!" I replied, and turned on my heel, but he grabs my hand and pulled me into his chest. I wanted to kick his groin, but the feelings being in his arms had my brain froze, my rational being long forgotten. It feels home in his arms. I felt secure and for some reason, I felt relax. He nuzzled his nose against the top of my head like it was the natural thing to do, and I'm liking it. Unconsciously, my hands snake around his waist. I smelled his musky intoxicating scent. He smells delicious just as I thought. "You're officially mine, Babe!!" he whispered which made me realized I just surrendered to him. I quickly pulled my hands off his waist and crossed it on my chest, but he's still holding my waist. "No, I'm not!" I objected as I shook my head in disapproval, frowning at him. What happened when two strong-willed collides, with their heart gets tangled. Will they let go, or fight for it? What happened when all secrets of their past, revealed?
