Kaia stared at him, trying to process his words that seemed like they were in a different language.
"No," she said simply before walking quickly out of the kitchen and down the hall toward the stairs.
William caught her by the arm before she could take a step up. "Kaia, what you did in the alley was only the beginning."
"What are you talking about?" she asked, moving her arm out of his grasp.
"You took out that last guy almost as easily as I subdued the first one." When she just continued staring at him like he was a crazy person, he went on, "Look, I know it's a lot. It sounds ridiculous but you know something has changed in you and it's going to keep changing."
A tear fell down Kaia's cheek. "I don't-- I don't understand."
"You will."

Boss In The Making
As his hips move in a hypnotic rhythm against her, his eyes drift to her face to see her erotic expression. What he saw took him a back so much that he stopped all movement.

She moved his hands down as Samuele clenches his jaw. Clementine's fine body moves off of his lap and walks towards the sheer curtains. She lifts one and turns her head towards him.

Cherry Gale is a country girl, seemingly like many others: she goes to school, has a crush on a boy in her class, has a slightly punk friend, and when she grows up, she wants to follow in the footsteps of her mother, who is her heroine and with whom she has a very deep relationship... but she has a secret. A secret that could change and upend the world. The problem for her is that she's not the only one with one. - A New Dark World saga book -Complete

EXCERPT --------------------------------------------------------------- "You think she'll take the bait?" I asked "I have no idea," she admitted. Kadima opened up the portal and we stepped through. It was the only place she could be sure would have no civilians around. The office was stripped and abandoned. It was an old, basic, nondescript building that was set for demolition. It was dark and dusty. "How long until you think they come, if they come." "I don't think it will be long before they realise. I'm sure she must have some way of knowing when the timeline changes." "Suppose the timeline hasn't changed and this was apart of the plan all along," a voice said in the darkness. "What if something as small as this doesn't change the outcome of this timeline," Mistress Mind snickered as she emerged from behind the wall. Her visor glowed in the darkness. She leaned against the wall. "Did you think something this small would be able to stop us." "We had hoped," I fired up my pendent.Complete
The Darkness in the Light
For over a hundred years, humanity has lived in fear of the monsters that roam the streets, lurking in the drains below. Women and their daughters hide, protected in their homes, while men take their sons through the world, teaching them the responsibilities of having a family to feed and dangers to avoid. No one leaves the home unless it's essential, and most of the world prefers it that way. Until one girl spends her days perched on her window seat, looking down at the world below and dreaming of a different life. Her eyes are always drawn to the dark, ominous drains in the street, the ones that often blink open to swallow and person whole. One day, that person is her little brother, snatched right in front of her from their arms of their father and gone forever. When a person is snatched, they never return, and life goes on without them. But she can't accept that. Breaking all the rules, all the things she's ever known, she braves the world outside her little townhouse and goes on a mission into the darkness to find her brother. Only, it's soon her that becomes the one lost to the drains. To survive she must rediscover her world, and in the process, rediscover herself. She will be reunited with old friends, gain new ones, find out deeper secrets about her past than she ever could have imagined, and learn that the world is even more corrupt than she always thought. *** This story contains sexist ideology, mention of cheating, some gruesome scenes, and a whole lot of monsters and darkness. It isn't overly mature... there isn't much explicit language or sexual scenes, but there is a bit of violence, so just keep that in mind... and despite all that negativity, ENJOY!Complete
