- He looked at me as if he was studying me. "The cemetery closes at nine o'clock, its almost midnight." He says shortly after.

"I know, it's just they never lock the gate so I-" I start.

"So, you come here to what? Grieve? Feel something?" He questions as he begins plodding toward me.

"Yeah, feel..." I reply mindlessly as I begin walking backwards, the closer he gets. It gets quiet as we both take a quick glance before I attempt to run away, but he was in front of me in almost a second. His tall, dark figure towered over me and all I remember before he grabbed one of my arms is my screams being muffled by his hand and his teeth sinking into my neck. -

A vampire lust over a human who seems to understand more on this earth than he has lived on it. Centuries of a decaying space being filled by her a human, doomed for death. Will she really be the answers he's been looking for? Is the love going to last or will it die with him?

♡°°☆ LOST IN LOVE'S SPELL°°☆♡ ___________________________ I dashed forward with such speed, unaware of my destination or where fate might lead me.Iam surrounded by darkness,with cold breeze that can freeze a whole ocean.While , i was sweating crazy,like I had just run a marathon in the scorching desert heat. After running hard, my legs started shaking, and I needed to catch my breath for a minute.I stopped for a moment, taking a deep breath as I glanced around, feeling a sudden rush of fear, when I saw a shadow moving closer to me in the dim light.My shivers intensified as he began to said. "Are you looking for me baby girl". I turned towards him, trembling, and managed to stutter, "D-don't come near me." He smirked, saying, "Do you think you can escape from me?" His words sent chills down my spine. "I'm your mate, baby. I can smell even you are afar from this world." The realization hit me - he was my mate, and there was no escaping from him. Despite knowing he'd rather harm himself than hurt me, I couldn't shake off the fear. As I pondered, he approached me, and I pleaded, "Stop, don't come any closer, or I'll kill you.." His response only deepened my fear: "I'd die and be reborn a thousand times to make you mine, sweetheart." A tear escaped my eye not from fear of him, but from his overwhelming love. I don't understand why I'm afraid of him or what exactly causing it. Lost in thoughts, he lifted me up in his arms, bridal style. "Please, put me down," I whispered without meeting his gaze. His deep voice sent butterflies fluttering in my stomach as he warned."If you keep talking, I can't promise to control myself as you look even more cuter where you are afarid". I tried to move,but i can't due to pheromones (a type of hormones that control behavior of an individual). "Lets go home my baby bear " he said, his words carrying me away with a mix of fear and longing.

Hey there folks, I'm Cody Phillips, welcome to New Orleans. N'awlins is known for many wonderful things, our coffee, music and the ability to throw a damn fine party. We're also known as the city most people believe may be one of the most haunted places in the world. Well, let me tell you this, we have more than our fair share. I know because I can see them. But, listen, don't spread that around. Yeah? It's been a closely guarded family secret my whole life. Not even my best friend knows this about me. See, I use my 'gift' in my work as a homicide detective with NOLA's finest boys in blue. Now, I understand why you might call it cheating, and that's fine. But I always catch the bad guy with the victim telling me everything I need to know and give the family involved closer. So it evens out as far as I can tell. Now just as my life is moving slower than a gator with a full belly, the worst happens. I get the call about a homicide that's hit too close to home. It leaves the girl of my dreams coming home to face tragedy. The moment I see her I find myself reminded of the one secret no one ever knew. Ever since I was eight years old I have felt many different things for Emma O'Neal, and those feelings haven't disappeared with time. Problem is now that she's come home; I find myself fighting not only an unknown assailant out for blood, my partner's misguided beliefs but my own need for the enticing beauty I'm duty sworn to protect. Damn, I just hope I'm able to fight the feelings I have for this woman, and stay focused on the case. Otherwise, I might end up losing something far more precious to me than the honor I've worked so hard for: Emma's life.

*A Wattpad exclusive story* *Unique plot* *Not a typical werewolf rejection story* ~ What Jacob has made her into? How is she to fight the beasts and save her people when she's herself one! ~ "You're my mate, and you know I can't let you go, Belle," Jacob's voice, his breaths were soon fanning down the back of her neck, signaling that he had stepped much closer to her again. "We can't let you go. You're our precious princess..., we can't live without you. I love you, Belle, we all love you!" Jacob's breath tickling across the back of her neck made her shudder in pleasure. This uncontrollable sense of pleasure, warmth, and... love, all made her want to stay back, forget yet again what she had just remembered, and go back to the days she didn't have her memories - her past. "I want to stay," was her slow murmur. Jacob breathed in relief, almost. Because her next words then crashed him down, completely. "But... I can't, because you don't lie to who you call your precious, Jacob. You don't lie to who you love." Her voice was back to cold again and so was her resolve. Holding her arm frantically, Jacob whirled her around to face him. "I can give you anything," he looked desperate and on the brink of insanity. "I will give you anything, do everything that you tell me to, just name it." Kristin didn't jerk away from his hold this time, she looked at him searching, calculating. All in a freezing way. "Then I ask you to let me go." He knew this was the final nail of this coffin, the coffin that would hold his love. Infinite howls echoed around in the woods, as the pack grieved, for their only girl - who'd, at last, remembered her past and rejected the life they gave her. She would leave them, and they knew their world would never be the same again. But they had yet to discover that from the ashes now something momentous shall rise. ''

(This story does occur in the True Silk universe, but it is a few hundred years in the making.) He doesn't blink, still. She kisses her teeth, folds her arms and walks away. "Fine, you wanna stay down here? You can." "Come on, man." I turn around again. "This really isn't funny -" A tall, pencil-thin figure looms behind him. Its white skin is translucent and papery and its fine, greasy black hair has been formed into matter locks. Its neck, which is slightly too long for humans, is stretched like a turtle's while its shoulders are pitted down and and hunched. If it were possible, Grants eyes go even blanker, as if the life had just left his body. It's a few seconds before his body collapses to his knees and then laggingly onto his face. The creature's slender, skeletal fingers drip with his blood, in its hand, a fresh, still desperately beating heart. Grant's heart. * Julien would be your run of the mill bad girl; smart mouth, always picking fights, doesn't take anyone's crap bad girl. She would be...if only it weren't for the fact that she is an out-of-the-ordinary vampire. That much is made very clear when she and some friends go poking around the forbidden catacombs outside of their home city. They accidentally find something ancient and murderous lying beneath its surface with ties to old, dangerous magic kept locked away for good reasons. And now he has ties to her.

Book 1 in the Blood Series (Under construction and editing) Prologue The full moon lurked over a town called Raven-wood Hills. This was a type of nightmare humans called The Dead Night. No one came out after dark when a full moon raked over the town. This night had been initiated in the early centuries when the pack entered the town. This was a night that the werewolves ruled the streets. They would roam around the town after the sun had fallen and the moon rose. Rumors of murders and the legends of werewolves roaming the streets had spread like wildfire. Yet some have tested that we don't really exist in "their" so-called world and they have perished in an instant. Some lucky ones who were blessed by the grace of the Alpha have survived and spoke about their experiences. One man, in particular, had a more interesting story than the others. The man had finally come out of hiding and spoke of the horrors he had witnessed. Oh, the horrors of a wolf that never leaves the Alpha's side. The man swears on his life he had seen Satan himself inside the she-wolf, he told the town that she was under the alpha's power doing exactly what he has asked of her. The man told the horror of what she would do with men and women who would cross her alpha, and he described this she-wolf as a gorgeous woman, her beauty was so alluring yet the coldness and hate in her eyes rendered you from getting near her. She had to be a Siren crossed breed, the man said. An evil temptress on land, the only horror that walked this earth. He warned the town. "Do not tempt and belittle the Alpha of the werewolves for, you will be placed under a spell of fear and death of this Siren Demon."
