Rickard Lynch is an rookie undercover police officer tasked to investigate a very possible terrorist attack that could happen in the future. He is smart, thinking first, and shooting second. But that's where his virtues end. His reckless nature and temper have earned him distinction amongst his colleagues. And he has a past that is enough to get him transferred from one branch to another.

But sometimes the past comes to bite one back. Rickard's past included gang relations with a gang named 'the Hounds'. A past which Rickard must now embrace, no matter how much he hates it, so that he can scour the underworld for clues to the terror cells.

Can he uncover the threat in time? Or will he succumb to his past?

"And if you gaze long enough into the abyss, the abyss gazes back."

At least it was until aspiring detective George Reynolds came lucid from another blackout. Blood pools tantalisingly across the floor and there's two bullet holes in the wall. His best friend, officer Chris Wells is dead and George finds himself with the body and no memory of how. Only a tape recorder and a locker key for a clue. It's a dangerous game, from a lifetime of planning, rigged to make George look guilty and force him to remember what he really is and what he went through as a child. A pure born werewolf. Kidnapped from his real family to be experimented on. George gets dangled on strings by the killer puppet master and taken on a haunting journey never to be forgotten again.

Bodies continue to fall, all framed to fit the murderous narrative of an elaborate plot for revenge. When he finally remembers, when he's finally broken, another unique side to George wakes. So does a dark new world from the shadows. George learns the painful truth, and none of it is good. Nobody saw the real killer coming or expected that it could be someone they trusted.

I can't keep the smile off my face as I take my seat on the plane. I slide my bag under the seat and lean back. I close my eyes and let a blissful smile grace my face. He said I wouldn't be able to run. As if. I'm vaguely aware of someone taking the seat next to mine, but I pay no attention to said person. "So where we headed?" I choke on my own spit as my eyes fly open and whirl around to face the owner of the familiar voice. His eyes are hidden behind those damn sunglasses and a rather smug smile graces his face. I continue choking and he does nothing other than flip through a magazine. That smug smile never leaving his face. "You still haven't answered the question." "To hell." I finally manage to choke out. "Awesome," He flips a page in the magazine, "It's about time I returned home. You know, bodies to burn, lost souls to torture, I've missed it. It'll be fun." *** Nicolette Moore. A name law enforcement agencies across the world know. Though no one's ever seen the face of the world's greatest thief and hacker, everyone knows who she is by name. Nicky. She's an absolute genius. Once upon a time she wasn't the best person in the world. When her family was struggling she made some bad choices to help them through it, but when she tried to get out she got pulled in deeper. Ryder Stevenson. He's the son of the director of the FBI, and an FBI Agent himself. He's the one who brings in Nicky to get her protection from the people chasing after her. He's also the one, who gets assigned to protect her. Neither one of them like each other, and they can't go five minutes without getting in a full blown argument. She's constantly ditching him only for him to show up later and prove to her he's not that easy to get rid of. They're stuck with each other whether they like it or not. But he doesn't know who she really is. What will he do when he finds out? An FBI Agent protecting THE Hacker. The one the FBI have been after for years...this just screams chaos.

When Death takes notice by Amrose

Games can be fun, but some games end rather badly. What happens when a young girl plays a game that catches the attention of someone that's not only bad, but deadly? Because once you kiss death... well... lets's just say that a killer doesn't kiss and tell... <3 This is a sample of my book. The book can now be found on Amazon, both as a paperback and as a digital book. It was free for five days in March 2020 to thank the wonderful readers here on Wattpad that supported me while I wrote the book. Thanks again for the support, it meant a lot. <3 NB! Warning some people might find this twisted love story disturbing. Stockholm syndrome* will be comming into play. The published version of the book is mature. The book starts off somewhat light, but it does get darker chapter by chapter. It is not recommended for a younger audience, nor for those who might take offense with strong language, sex scenes, non consensual acts, violence etc. Happy reading :D *Stockholm syndrome is a condition that causes hostages to develop a psychological alliance with their captors as a survival strategy during captivity. These feelings, resulting from a bond formed between captor and captives during intimate time spent together, are generally considered irrational in light of the danger or risk endured by the victims. Generally speaking, Stockholm syndrome consists of "strong emotional ties that develop between two persons where one person intermittently harasses, beats, threatens, abuses, or intimidates the other.
Rowan - By ElliTLG by elliTLG
2 parts Complete Mature
[INCOMPLETE] Rowan is a creature of great misunderstanding. In a world full of Mythical beings, his kind, the Anadin, are heavily hated by the whole world, and very endangered. Though, it's become clear that everyone would be thrilled to have these creatures wiped from existence. Why they're hated has become a messy entanglement of false information and tall-tales. Still, the hatred has never faltered in any living creature. Rising from a childhood of blood and tears, 17 year old Rowan has grown used to seeing misery and distress around him-- in fact, inflicting it is one of his favorite past times. When Rowan crosses paths with a 19 year old human named Evelyn Fontaine, Things start to become... interesting; Undoubtedly in more ways than one. Besides Evelyn training to become a police officer like her mother(which would badly clash with his unlawful, and frankly highly questionable hobbies,) Rowan gets a taste of the harsh reality of just how much the world hates Anadins. When the pair come across a strange woman who's seemingly entire life's purpose is to wipe any non-human off the face of the earth, their lives are shoved onto a completely different course. Just how nasty will the trials they face ahead of them be? Young Evelyn's life seemed to be going in the right direction- Already, she had a smooth path laid in front of her. When both of their lives (one still on the hard path to self-discovery) get tossed off-course by the currents of fate, they'll have to enter a new battle; one of injustice, transformation, misunderstanding, and even romance. What will happen to Rowan if not only his identity is revealed, but his secrets as well? What happens when Rowan finally understands why everyone is so terribly afraid of his kind? Is he forever meant to be the dishonest and mischevious boy he's been disguised as? Or was Rowan destined to follow a much darker path? ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cover by ElliTLG
Shadows of deceit  by upbeatguy23
20 parts Complete Mature
In the gritty underbelly of a sprawling, neon-lit metropolis, a complex web of power, crime, and intrigue weaves its way through the city's heart. This is a mafia story, a tale of organized crime that unfolds in the shadows, where loyalty is as deadly as betrayal, and power is the ultimate currency. At the center of this seedy underworld is a charismatic and enigmatic mob boss, a figure whose influence extends far beyond the boundaries of legality. This mafia don is a master of manipulation, shrouded in an aura of charm that belies a ruthless and cunning mind. His empire stretches from illicit gambling dens to the drug trade, from extortion rackets to underground fight clubs. The city itself becomes a character in the story, its alleys and backstreets concealing secrets, and its towering skyscrapers casting long shadows over the criminal enterprises that flourish within. The juxtaposition of opulence and decay is striking, as glamorous penthouses overlook squalid tenements, and the echoes of power are heard amid the sirens and gunshots. The story's protagonists are a motley crew of characters, each with their own moral compass and motivations. A disillusioned detective, haunted by the memory of a loved one lost to the mafia's clutches, is determined to bring down the boss and dismantle the syndicate. Alongside him, a conflicted lawyer finds herself torn between her duty to uphold the law and her loyalty to a childhood friend entangled in the mafia's web. As the plot unfolds, alliances are forged and broken, betrayals and vendettas fuel the narrative, and the line between right and wrong blurs into shades of gray. Family ties, whether by blood or loyalty, play a pivotal role, as characters grapple with the choices they've made and the consequences that come with it.
