Our eyes met from across the room, and it felt as if the world around me was playing in slow motion. Once my gaze met his, I just couldn't look away. His obsidian eyes were so...captivating. They flashed red for a moment, and before I knew it, he was in front of me.

" Hello there, beloved." his deep, husky voice greeted, causing my legs to go weak; I didn't understand why my body was reacting like this, but I was unable to do anything about it as I stared into his unique-colored eyes. It felt as if I was stuck in some kind of trance as he gently grabbed my hand and brought it to his lips, kissing my knuckle," Your name?"
 
I felt my face flush red by his action," A-Angel..." I replied with a small stutter, my heart beating against my rib cage when I saw him smile down at me.
 
" Leo." He answered before intertwining his fingers with my own, smirking down at my smaller form," Can I buy you a drink?"

-----

Angel Marquice had just gotten out of a bad relationship with his ex-boyfriend, and to cheer him up, his friends -Amy, Emily, and Nolan- decide to take him out drinking at 'The Black Swan', a famous club in New Orleans. Though Angel was never a fan of partying or drinking, he decides to go, thinking he could try to let loose for once.

Not even a minute of being there, he meets eyes with a handsome stranger that will change his life, for better, and for worst.

[THIS BOOK CONTAINS MATURE THEMES WHICH IS ACCEPTABLE FOR 18+ READERS ONLY] "Yes?" His deep voice growls. It's so deep, so velvety. I can feel myself getting aroused. Aroused in ways I've never felt before. "I was told to come and speak to you about my keys." My voice is deep but the slight shake to it gives away my nerves. I can only be thankful my voice didn't break. He pauses for a second, his eyes gleaming over my body and if I was naive, I'd believe he was admiring me. But a man like him, so commanding, so powerful, he wouldn't look twice towards me. He digs into his pocket, a small set of keys emerges from them as he dangles them towards me. Why would he have my keys? As my hand moves forward, I brush the soft skin of his fingers and that tingling sensation overwhelms my body once more, but more intense than the last. My eyes shoot to meet his and I'm almost certain the smallest moan left my lips. It was small, so under my breath, I would bet my life nobody heard, but his eyes, god those eyes, they were devious, like he was trying to tell me he heard. I wanted to flush with embarrassment, how could such small contact make me act in such a way? "Thanks" I mutter. It felt like my voice was laced with arousal. I felt like I was waving a huge flag that screamed I want you. I turn on my heel, walking towards my bags, I can feel his gaze across my body, it's like I could feel the warmth from it dance across my skin. My heart is throbbing, I can feel myself pressing against my joggers and I know if anyone was to look they would see just how aroused Alpha Slater made me feel.

"What I was going to say was selfish..." He mumbled. I edge closer to him until my hand slowly cradled his cheek. Tilting his head up to look at me. "Please let me know what it was." I beg him pathetically. He begins to chew his lip and that's when I knew he was nervous. Nervous about what? I'm not exactly sure. "With everything I said...I was going to say at the same time...never...leave me." He confessed painfully almost. That's when I lost all sense of control and pressed my lips onto his. Kissing him with all my strength and all the built up desire that's accumulated. I continued to kiss him until at some point my tongue made it's way into his mouth. Tasting a sweet flavor that I've never encountered. As I got deeper in the kissing I feel myself fly back into a tree. Slammed against it that I felt myself lose my breath. Trying to catch it, I look up at Achille. His eyes were now a crimson red that intrigued me. He shook his head and suddenly he was gone in a blur. Confused, I stood as I had to pop my back from the hard hit into the tree. Looking in the direction Achille ran off, I knew I couldn't see him because it'd be a blur. Always thought it was fascinating how when he runs you can't see it. Being a vampire must be...fascinating. Yet he makes it out to be hell. I can't understand that kind of complicity of being a vampire and the issues. I get it, they drink blood. Though there's multiple things beside humans that offer blood! He acts like it's so horrific. I would love to know what it felt like for a day. Just one day...

A few months ago, I bought a mug with gold gilt. On sale. Not a gift either nor because of an occasion to remember by it. Just plain, pretty mug for 15PLN. I drank my coffee from it since. I spat loose tea leaves into it. It never felt particularly significant. An ordinary object. Only when I lost it, I realised its true value. I sat comfortably at my desk one evening. Looking at my phone, I reached to take my song-text notebook. Trivial situation. My clumsy fingers were unable to avoid the mug. They allowed it to topple over, to slip from the desktop. Even though I did not see the split-second occurrence, I felt the pressure of unease. My head painted the trajectory of the fall on its own, the shattering, spillage. The loss. For a millisecond I still had hope, that I would be able to catch the mug, that I would be able to avoid what was about to happen. But I knew I was headed for failure. I don't have any superpowers. I only scalded my fingers. I looked at the mug's new shape for a long while, at the shattered pieces. At the spilling liquid. Our adventure came to an end. Irrevocably. I won't be drinking coffee from it anymore, nor spit tea leaves into it. Well. I shouldn't be sad, it was just a regular mug, just like thousands of others. I grew to like it, it kept me company throughout hundreds of warm drinks. I lost it. I hate this feeling the most. In the moment when I am losing something, I stop in my tracks, I hold my breath. It is always a very intense moment. A short one, but one that gives me the tight unpleasant feeling in my stomach. The feeling of loss is always accompanied by hope. Silly and naïve. Making me believe so strongly, that I can make it. That I will still be able to catch the mug mid-flight. When the feeling is entering the body, crawling into me I realise, how important it was to me. Whether it's Nivan or a stupid mug with gold gilt.

Part 1: Today was supposed to be my fairytale day. My perfect wedding day. I made my way to David, he took my hand in his, walking us closer to the long faced man who would be marrying us. The officiant started, greeting the room full of all my family, all of David's family. Going through the first reading easily. Giving their peace on the joy of marriages, it was bland, but acceptable. Moving along, the officiant announced in a loud voice, "If anyone here knows of any reason why these two should not be lawfully wed, let them speak now, or forever hold their peace." The officiant boomed over the crowd. I was caught off guard. This part was supposed to be just a formality, just a box to tick. No one was supposed to say anything. The world started to go in slow motion as Verity moved behind me a flicker in the corner of my vision. "David, I can't hide anymore." He said. As David's eyes went from me, to Verity, filled with concern. David looked over my head at Verity while he was holding my hands in his. I heard the crowd gasp, before everyone started to whisper. David dropped my hands. The whispers increased in intensity. Making the room sound like it was full of hissing snakes. David's attention wasn't anywhere near me. I looked up to see him looking over my head at my brother. With a look I had thought he had saved just for me, my heart breaking as my fairy tale became a nightmare. Part 2 also complete July 2023.

The brunette rolled his eyes for the umpteenth time at Sullivans actions, looking out of his peripheral vision, then stepped into the redhead's personal bubble. He stretched his hand out toward the redhead, looking down at the curly haired teen, rolling his sucker to the corner of his mouth. "The names Jasper, and you are?" Jasper asked, talking through his teeth due to the blue sugary sweet, as the red head looked at the brunette's hand, blanking out for a millisecond. The red head reached out and grasped Jasper's hand, giving it a firm shake making sure to give eye contact to the spooky teen. "Sullivan Boyd." Then they both released, Jasper backed up to put distance between them. He dipped his hands into the front pocket of his black hoodie, laughing to himself. "Figures." He stated, kicking some pebbles away from him. He sighed heavily, looking at Sullivan while moving his fringe out of his eye. "Anyway, I'm terrible at names, so I'm gonna call you Ivan, for short." Sullivans face heated up instantly. He never had a nickname from anyone besides his mother, who called him Sully when he was younger. "O-Okay." The red head stuttered out smiling a bit. "You don't talk much do you? Weird, but I like it." Jasper stated answering his own question. A sheltered Christian red head meets a very blunt emo teen for the first time, but what happens when he discovers hidden secrets and stomach twisting feelings for the tall teen? Will their relationship grow into something more, or wither away? Follow Sullivan Boyd through this strange and mythical journey, as he discovers things no one would ever dream of, with Jasper Gray. Content or trigger warning: This story contains scenes of homophobia, violence, self-harm, sexual activity, swearing, and some gore, which may be triggering for some readers.

"Have you come here to die?" The voice was a bare whisper against the enveloping dark. It sounded stark and cold, with nothing in offer linked to safety.

Known as the Valley of The Shadow of Death by the commoners for the dangerous folk it harbors.

Brinley knows people look at him when he walks the districts. He sees the disgust in their eyes, he understands. The same dysphoria follows him everytime he looks at his body.
