      ❝Don't,❞ he pleaded softly, offering her a tiny smile, ❝please don't make me a promise you will never be able to keep.❞ He released a quiet but deep breath, leaning forward even more, tilting his body towards her, until their noses were merely inches apart. 

      ❝You are so, so beautiful, Bree,❞ he told her in a hushed voice, as if afraid someone was going to hear. He lifted his hand, trailed a single knuckle down the side of her temple, her cheek, her jaw, ❝you have so much good inside you, it makes me want to grab onto you with all that I have, because I need good, Bree, I need to know good. To see good. To believe in good,❞ he breathed shakily, ❝but all the goodness in you cannot defeat the monsters that walk in broad daylight. Monsters like Chase, like Alec, like...❞ He squeezed his eyes shut tight, closing the distance and resting his forehead against hers, the tips of their noses pressed against one another. ❝They'll get away. Monsters always do.❞

      Bree swallowed past the lump in her throat, fought against the need to tilt her face and brush her lips against his, and instead, turned her head to kiss the corner of his mouth, where his upper and bottom lip met. ❝They don't always get away,❞ she whispered into his skin, sealing the vow with another soft kiss, ❝but until you learn to believe that, I'll fight them for you.❞

In which Nick Fraser, the boy who'd grown up seeing monsters, believes he will spend the rest of his life running away from them... but then meets Bree Salvare, the girl with laughing brown eyes who makes him want to pause, take a deep breath, and stay instead.

Book 1: Maple, of the Orynx series. "You're a long way from home little missy" he stated, voice hoarse and eyes heightened with darkness and intent over my decrepit wounded fragile body. "Pl-please, leave me alone" stuttering softly I tried to crawl slowly backwards under his hardened body stance levitating over me. "Now why would I do that?" his expression enlightened with amusement and face tilting to the side. "I wouldn't want you to injure yourself any further" his eyes directed at my wounded and bloody side. In a rapid movement, he grabbed my leg and pulled me back to him ensuring I couldn't crawl any further away. Grunting and winching from pain, I threw my head back onto the ground resulting in a loud thud, pressing on my wounded excruciating painful side to stop more blood from seeping out. "St-st-stop" I coughed barely getting my breath stabilized. His gaze darkened once more whilst travelling up my wounded side with his bare cold hands, "Oh, but we wouldn't want your blood to go to perfect waste" his face darkening and eyes gleaming with hunger, portraying his sharp-edged fanged teeth, "now do we?" Before he could even lash his teeth onto me an enormous and strong muscular body grabbed him by the back of his neck, grunting with anger he decapitated his head and threw his lifeless body to the side of the forest ground. Barely keeping my eyes open, briefly, I saw the muscular man running to me, swiftly placing his strong hands firmly on my bleeding side. Before I could encounter his appearance, I saw complete darkness...

'No, he didn't'. I was so shocked by the turn of events. Everything was going fine and then suddenly boom, everything turned upside down. I just couldn't believe this. What did he think of himself? 'Leave me alone.' I said firmly but his hold on me was so strong. I was struggling to get out of his bear hold but to no avail. 'Oh!! So, the poor lady thinks that I will leave her alone and just let her go free?' He had that evil laugh and boy, his breath stank. 'Man, you just signed your death warrant and I will do one favour on you.' No one messes with me. 'Ooooh, I am so scared that I almost peed my pants.' Again that idiotic laugh. I counted till 5 and then kicked right in his balls. I turned around and grabbed his hair from roots, jerked them so badly and then gave my hard elbow shot on his chin. Everything happened so fast for one moment he was standing and the other lying on floor wiggling. I charged at him with my cheetah speed, picked up a wooden rod and started hitting him wildly, 'You idiotic stinky breath was trying to steal my backpack. You are so dead.' 'Favour, favour, favour.' He was screaming in pain just after few seconds and was panting hard. I picked my paste from my bag and threw at him, 'Brush your teeth.' I was fuming. I turned around and saw him standing wide-eyed, 'Hi, I am Scarlett.' I smiled showing my 32 teeth. 'I am scared.' His look puzzled me.

"That's it, baby," he continues, his tone almost soothing, despite the filth spilling from his lips. "Take my cock. Take all of it." Baby. My belly flutters, my heart soaring like a fool even though I know it's a runaway utterance. A thoughtless spill of the moment's intensity. I shut my eyes against the word, as if the action will shield my chest from its impact. Or my pussy. "You like that?" he asks, his voice a low rumble. "You like it when I fuck you hard? When I make you feel like the dirty little slut you are?" I can't even respond, my throat is too constricted, my lungs too empty. His words are like a knife, slicing through me, making me feel even more exposed and vulnerable than I already am. "Say it," he demands, his thrusts becoming even more punishing. "Tell me you're a dirty little slut." "I'm a dirty little slut," I sob, the words torn from my throat. I can't believe I'm saying them, but they feel true. "That's right," he growls, his breath hot against my ear. "You're MY dirty little slut.

Ali Baker did everything in her power to return to her pack, to her friends, and to her favorite place on earth. She enrolled in the town's college as an excuse to come back and be reunited her childhood best friend, only to find he was her mate, just as she had hoped for. There was very little time to celebrate however as she learned he had a girlfriend. It broke her and hurt but soon their mate bond would pull them together at last. It was them against the world, and a vengeful ex-girlfriend. **** 'No! No! No! This is not happening!' Ronan panicked as he spoke to me through our mate bond. I could hear the defeat in his voice as I was taken further and further away from him. 'I want you to know that I love you, Ronan. These past few months have been the happiest of my life. I only wished I could have returned the favor to you.' 'Don't say it like you're saying goodbye.' He was in full distraught now. Ronan's voice was breathy and cracked as he spoke to me. 'I'm not. I know you'll find me again.' 'Yeah, I promise. I'll find you, baby. Hold on, ok?' 'I will. I will wait for you. I love you.' 'I love you too, Ali, more than anything. Please just keep -' Suddenly, I was alone. The mate bond was a funny thing. It had its limits. The bond worked like a rubber band. When we were close to each other, it pulled and strained against us, pulling our souls together and allowed us to hear the other's thoughts. That bond allowed us to feel the other's emotions and pain. It was a fantastic thing to be a part of. However, just like taking a rubber band and pulling it as far as possible, it loses strength before breaking entirely.

~ A World Painted Grey: Book 1 ~ Already incapacitated, I drag his limp body toward the smoking car. Fastening him back into his seat, seatbelt back in place. Then I grip his skull with my glove-clad hands and ram his head into the steering wheel. Over and over and over again. Eventually the breathing stops, and his weakened pulse slows to a halt. Dead in my hands I throw his head against the wheel once more. Reaching past his limp body, I grab the manila folder. For a moment I watch his corpse. Supposing I should feel even a twinge of guilt. But I never do. Not anymore. Instead, with no feeling in my cold heart, I turn my back to him and walk away. The car bursting into flames behind me. ~~~ Raised a trained killer, Amelia finds herself sneaking through the shadows, thriving in the darkness, living in a world of grey. Having spent her life conditioned to kill and torture, she had never considered the possibility of escape. Never thought a life existed beyond the sight of blood. Until an innocent boy, who's world was held in ink and paper begins to scatter the darkness and find the broken girl beneath.
