A classic retelling of Dracula, but with a spin on it

SAOIRSE IS - what is known in history as - a Dhampir. But that doesn't explain much. She's always wanted to know about what she was, confused and conflicted about her personality. She's never felt like she's belonged to anything, always the outcast no matter where she goes. And now she's come to Sangris Manor, to meet the man who lives there, to ask her questions and see just How Damned Savages Live.

--------------------

"I've been looking for you."

"Oh, have you?"

"You're a very hard man to find."

"How" - His eyes narrow on me - "did you find me, if I might ask?"

"A little local tavern. I had to do was ask around," He mouths an 'Oh!', a knowing expression on his face. "They call you 'Drákul', even where I come from. La Casa de la Drákul. Initially, I'd expected to see a woman, but at the tavern, when I mentioned you, they called you a 'he', some saying they wouldn't even consider you a man... They called you a beast."

He takes my words into consideration. "It's Romanian for dragon."

"I am all too aware."

"So did you come to tell me my own folklore?"

"No."

"Then what, pray tell, do you want?"

I take a deep breath. 

"What..." The inflammation of my throat only seems to thicken. In any case, I steel myself for the kill and force myself to meet his unavailing and expectant eyes. "What am I?"

Alec's hand gripped my wrist hard, "You're coming with me back to my pack." He stated. "No, I'm not." I pushed myself to say this. His nails were now digging into my skin. "Ouch! You're hurting me. Let me go!" I struggled to get my hands free. The man gave me an apologetic look, "Alpha, you're hurting her." Alec retracted his hands while I rubbed my mine. "Okay, let me make this clear," The sadistic smirk showed off his white teeth, "You either come with me or I'll declare war and slaughter your pack. You know I will and can." My jaw dropped at his demands. "Are you serious?" This is absurd. "Do I look like I'm joking." I could tell he wasn't, he meant every word. "I can't leave my family," I stated. "You will. Or else you'll have none. If you don't come, I'll torture your family. Even down to the youngest one." My mind wandered off to my goofy little brother, and he had crossed a line. ~ Leah Indica was always a nice, sweet, innocent girl. She always helped anyone who needed help, it was her passion. She loved to make people happy, more importantly she wanted a mate to make happy, to love, and to cherish him. At Eighteen, she finds a mate. He is known as the most cold hearted Alpha in Romania. He has wiped away many of packs and has gone on killing sprees for fun. She tries to help him and be the best possible mate for him, and she overlooks the fact that he is blind. However, he seems to not have the same feelings in return. He only cares about one thing, his eyesight, which he can never get back. He often takes his rage out on her, when all she wants is his love. She wonders herself if she could possibly melt his cold exterior. She tries to help him in so many ways, but sometimes overwhelming love can consume a person. INCLUDING: ~Mature Language~ ~Marijuana and Alcohol~ ~Domestic Abuse~

Fanfic, Fantasy, Werewolves, Vampires, Dhampirs etc... Most definitely for readers 18 years and over. Contains very inappropriate and offensive scenes. Not for the faint-hearted or overly sensitive reader. These stories may be triggering to some. All of these stories are based on various Dungeons and Dragons Homebrew campaigns I've been a part of. Any similarity between characters in the stories and any persons in real life is purely coincidental. These stories are completely fictitious. Some of this is imagines but some of it is straight smut, not gonna lie. Enjoy, but please don't copy my work :) P.s. Exactly when I post new content might majorly vary in time because I have complete lack of motivation and like no energy and effort most of the time due to depression, so if you like it and want more please feel free to nudge me or comment or whatever, I don't really know how this works but yeah I can only apologise if I take forever :(

"Now now, my sweet human queen. I'm going to take you to my dark world, where you will rule by my side as my queen,"the blood sucker said while grabbing my chin gently. "Please, I beg you. Let me go. I don't want to be with a blood sucker like you. Why can't you understand that?" I said while trying to push him back, but he didn't move. Suddenly, his eye colour turned from dark grey to crimson red, and his fangs started growing out from his mouth. My heart began to race at the sight. "Now now, my Evelyn, you know I can hear your human heart beating, don't you? Now, don't make me claim you here and mark you as mine. Behave, or my people will not hesitate to kill those humans by drinking their blood," he said, moving his fangs toward my neck. ______________________________________ Meet Evelyn Roy, a middle-class girl living in a small town in Florida with her grandma.

Reaping The Red Heir by eden_ari

He smiled. The devil himself couldn't have crafted a more wicked grin. "What do you say we play a game, little Reaper?" I narrowed my eyes, trying to decipher his intentions. "What kind of game?" His grin widened, showing the tips of his fangs. I watched the prince curiously as he strode over to his bag. With a swift motion, he withdrew a bow and a quiver of arrows, flinging them at my feet without so much as a second glance. I furrowed my eyebrows, casting him a look of uncertainty. That sinister grin stayed plastered upon his lips as he said, "Run." *** I, Skyla Ashforth, am what some might call a "sociopath." It was a title that fit. Why shouldn't I embrace it? I am a vampire slayer, a Reaper of bloodsuckers, and an exceptionally good one, if I do say so myself. Yes, being a sociopath has its perks; I could manipulate and deceive with the best of them. So, when captured by the notorious Red Prince, I embraced the challenge of manipulating my freedom. Pierce Darcee, was a sadistic vampire with a God complex. The fool actually believed he could break me. Little did he know, I was the kind of Reaper who would dance through a battlefield, whistling a merry tune as I twirled my braids. I relished the challenge of manipulating his oversized ego, planning to stab that rotting, blackened heart of his with a venom-laced dagger. I crafted a scheme so delightful, so intricate, that I couldn't help but salivate at the prospect of victory. It was foolproof, or so my mind believed. But then... then there was that pull. That unexpected, unwelcome spark that ignited something within me. Feelings, of all things! Now, that was a complication. Disgusting, messy feelings that could very well lead to my destruction. Or his. It was a dangerous game we played, but then again, the most thrilling ones usually are. *Rated M for Murder, Mayhem, and some profanity. Sorry but no smutty interludes. You've stumbled into a blood bath, not a bodice ripper.*
