[Book #1 in the Blackwood Pack series] Currently in the process of rewriting (it'll be uploaded as a separate book) ________________ Asher has been abused by the man who has held him prisoner for as long as he can remember. He longs to be free from the unjust violence, but there are reasons he has to stay, people he can't leave behind. Kade has been away from his pack and finally decides to return. While doing border patrol he catches a whiff of what seems to be an average wolf. The only thing is... that wolf is his mate. Determined, Kade takes Asher away from his abuser (along with two others). Asher, not being used to people being kind, is suspicious at being welcomed into Kade's pack with open arms. Will Kade be able to show Asher that he deserves love? Can Asher take down the walls he no longer needs to survive? And what will they do when Asher's abuser wants him back, even going as far to enlist a rival pack? _________________ ---The Blackwood Pack series--- -Worthless -His Reluctant Mate (coming soon) -Let Me Be Your Drug (coming soon) -Lies and Bullet Wounds [Side Story/Prequel] (coming soon) _________________ ******Not edited****** [Trigger Warning]: Child abuse, rape, depression, and self-hate.

By Day and by Night by CrimsynAnalysis

Through the darkness, the computer screen illuminated the pale skin of Adelae's face around the black mask. Scrolling through the submitted questions, she came across one that made her smile. "Dear Lady Shade," She read aloud to herself. "Why did you choose to be a villain instead of a hero?" She chuckled, shaking her head at the simple, loaded question, before selecting it and opening the page to write a reply. "Hello Blogger KittyStan41. I bet you're expecting the classic tragic backstory in response to this question." she typed. " Dead parents, treated like trash as a kid, and it all came to a choice between rising to defeat my inner demons or succumbing to them. Well, my real answer is possibly something you haven't considered about the world of Heroes and Villains. Answer this for me, what is the goal of a hero? To make the world a better place, perhaps? No, dear KittyStan41. The classic goals of the Hero might seem epic and noble, but in the end it all comes down to stopping the Villain. What kind of life is that, when your only goals derive from the actions of someone else? Your whole life is used up as a preventative measure. Now does that sound like a good way to live? "I chose to be a villain not because I enjoy hurting people, but because I have goals that I plan to achieve. Don't bother asking what they are. If I told you, everyone would know, and people (baby heroes) would get in the way. Then how would I achieve them? I aspire to more. Is there need for a better reason?"

The misadventures of a Main Character [Complete] by Wolfwhistle

***Previously Wattpad Featured Story*** Meet your run-of-the-mill protagonist: Main Character. In this fantasy (spoof) of an epic adventure, Main embarks on a quest to conquer the world, guided only by the words of a drunkard, and a bolt of red lightning. It soon becomes clear that the twelve-foot troll travelling with him is only the start of his increasingly bizarre list of sidekicks. Rising to villainy is harder than it looks, Main realizes; plot twists give him vertigo, and hard work is migraine-inducing. But still, there's a world to conquer, fangirls to run from, and love to fall slave to. What could possibly go wrong? COMPLETED

My Most Tragic Villainess by AngelDiabrill

"If you don't get enough sleep, you'll die." Is something that I've just figured out lately. With a 14 days of not sleeping streak, the light came and took me to another world. A world of novel, my novel. You see, I was up all night for the whole 2 weeks writing my novel named "Dreadful love". It had a decent amount of readers. And I, the author is famous as well, why's that? Because my novels are known to always have legendary tragic twist and turns, I even kill my lead characters, Hehe. So I transmigrated... To my own novel... And it just had to be this one. And I just had to be the villain... Though it's all goods, since all the characters have tragic lives. But this person that I'm in is ten times more tragic than all of the other characters! She- not important.

The Silence Between Us by Author__blue

Ezra has always kept his head down. With a voice that falters and a past that bruises quietly, he's learned that silence is safer than being seen. Until Lucien Voss sees him. Lucien doesn't believe in accidents. He doesn't believe in mercy, or kindness, or fate. But he believes in control-and Ezra's silence feels like something he needs to own. People say Lucien is cruel. Dangerous. A Voss never touches what he doesn't plan to break. But this time... he touches Ezra. "You're quiet because you're scared. "But I hear you just fine, Ezra. And that's what makes this fun." What begins as curiosity turns into obsession. And Lucien? He doesn't know how to love without breaking everything in his path.

The Life of a Villain by Tryparatest

Aren't you ever tired of the same old super hero story? The hero is cool looking with bulging muscles, and always wins. Like, always. Even if the situation is dire and it all seems lost. All the sudden, freaking deus ex machina. And the villain is either some super nerd, or a loser. Do you have any idea how stereotypical that is? Hero=jock/bully. Villain=nerd/loser. But not this time. This is a new story. The Life of a Villain. Part 1: This is a story about Leonardo Sutton a.k.a Knifeslinger, an 18 year old villain out for revenge for his family's death. He goes undercover at Ravenswood Academy where he meets new friends and old friends, and an evil plot that could shake the world. Part 2: Life was finally starting to settle down(ish) in the few days of freedom, but of course normality can't be something for ex-villain Leonardo Sutton. When an alien invasion is imminent, Leo must be Knifeslinger again, and work with Team Amazing to stop the Disastrous Nuclear Anthropoid and his planet of people. #1 in #supervillain 7/5/2020

Moonbound (book 1) by sapphicgurlproblems

"He was supposed to be my enemy... not my fated mate. Damn it." Centuries of war have left only scars. Now a fragile peace forces them face-to-face: One vampire. One wolf. Two enemies bound by blood and fate. Lucien Duskborne is everything a vampire prince should not be...dangerously charming, scandalously reckless, and far too clever for anyone's safety. Sent as a political envoy to the werewolf highlands, he carries silver fangs, sharper lies, and orders that could ignite war all over again. But then there's Rhydian Ashborne. The wolf-heir with golden eyes and a smile that hides claws. A true alpha with a scar that burns whenever Lucien is near. Courteous, disciplined, the perfect prince... until his temper cracks and the beast inside him snarls for blood. What begins as a battle of wit and willpower soon spirals into something darker. A bond that should not exist. A prophecy buried in ash. A hunger neither of them can control. Because when a vampire seduces his enemy... And a wolf finds his fated mate... Love isn't the only thing at stake. Kingdoms will fall. Blood will spill. And fate will make monsters of them both. ---- Core Genre: Fantasy Romance + Boys' Love (BL) / LGBTQ+ Romance Subgenres: Dark Fantasy + Enemies to Lovers + Fated Mates + Supernatural + Action / Adventure Flavor Tags: Political Intrigue + Slow Burn + Forbidden Romance + Dark BL

Darkened Hearts by signedbyleah

It all started with a superhero, one who vowed to help save the world and use her powers for good....But how can one keep a promise if they don't remember making it? What happens when the lines to right and wrong blur? When promises have to be broken? When the one thing you thought you could never lose, your morality, comes into question. What happens when the only person in the world that understands you is the person you believed was evil. But a reputation can be fabricated, evidence can be tampered and memories can be manipulated. How does one decide who's good and who's bad? Who's the hero and who's a villain? Maybe the only real difference between the two is a change in perspective or perhaps keeping an open mind. Sometimes even a "Villain" has a good side and even a "Hero" has a bad one...so what would happen if they were to see eye to eye?....Who would be there to pull them from the deep end?...or maybe the high tide is exactly where they want to be.
