And whose death he could never forget. "It won't be like that with her," she murmured to the floor. "I won't take that chance." Heavy with sorrow, her brown eyes looked up into his. "Not everyone is given a second chance. Take it." -- Soulmates only come along once in a lifetime. Or so everyone thought. She was his second chance. But her heart loved another.

The Crimson Oath by tani1602_

FBI Special Agent Taylor Alison Swift has spent the last seventeen years chasing shadows and unraveling the minds of criminals, but nothing has ever gotten under her skin like the "Black Devil" -a ruthless serial killer who has haunted the city for years, slipping through the cracks of every investigation. Taunting. Untraceable. Unstoppable. For the longest time, the "Black Devil" has been nothing more than a ghost - until now. A chilling shift in the game begins when the killer starts leaving personal messages at crime scenes. At first, they're cryptic taunts meant for the FBI. But soon, they take a darker turn - messages left just for Taylor. And just like that the hunter becomes the hunted. As the body count rises, so does Taylor's obsession. Every clue, every note, every murder feels like a twisted puzzle leading her not just to the killer - but straight into their trap. And as the chase intensifies, Taylor begins to wonder: is she tracking a monster... or is the monster tracking her? One thing is certain- the "Black Devil" won't stop until they have her full attention. And they do. The question is: Will Taylor catch the killer, or will she be their next masterpiece?

Take Me to Ruin by aziiiweaver

Tension burns. And the harder she pushes back, the more they seem to want her to break. Some men don't stop at breaking you. They want to own you.

His Light ✓ by AzaleaOlive

*COMPLETED* Annalise(Ann) had a simple life. A loving family, and a roof over her head. But when that is taken away, when the king and his men destroy her village and take her life away. She is thrown into a life of servitude to the king. But What happens when the king develops a deep desire for her? Will she fall in love with the merciless King? 𝑬𝒙𝒄𝒆𝒓𝒑𝒕: I hear the king get up from his seat and start walking over to me. I see his shoes come into my line of vision. My senses are clouded by his strong scent of cedarwood. I refuse to look up at him. He gives off an aura that is dark and intimidating. My eyes begin to swell with tears at the thought that I will end up like the man before me. "Look at me," he commands in a deep voice. I refuse. He commands again this time more cynical, "Look. at. me!" His voice booms off the walls, echoing in the room. I flinch at the tone but still refuse. Then suddenly, he roughly raised my chin. My eyes meet his cold blue ones. His eyes seem to soften for a moment then quickly return to their cold state. He muttered something under his breath that I didn't catch. He lets go of my chin and walks around, scanning me with his eyes. "What am I to do with you?" He mutters to himself. After a few moments, he is back in front of me. He smirks, "I will make you my personal chambermaid." CONTINUE THE STORY INSIDE...
