CRIMSON SHADOWS by Zeellowezee

Preface: Crimson Shadows In the shadows, where the light dares not tread, there lies a tapestry of stories - tales woven with threads of crimson, spun from the lifeblood of those who have walked the path of adversity. It is within these shadowed realms that the true mettle of the human spirit is forged, tested by the fires of despair, guilt, and the relentless pursuit of redemption. The pages that follow bear witness to one such story - the journey of Amara Torres, a young woman whose life has been irrevocably altered by a tragedy that has left an indelible mark upon her soul. Haunted by the memories of her past and her late best friend, Amara must navigate the treacherous terrain of depression, self-harm, and the crippling weight of an unspoken secret that threatens to consume her. As Amara returns to the familiar confines of her hometown, she finds herself confronted not only by the remnants of her former life, but also by the enigmatic presence of Nolan Kirovsky - a fellow traveler in the realm of privilege and turmoil. Together, they must confront the shadows that have defined them, forging a path towards redemption and the unearthing of long-buried truths. Through Amara's story, we bear witness to the resilience of the human spirit, the capacity for transformation, and the profound impact that a single moment can have on the trajectory of a life. It is a tale that delves into the depths of the human experience, exploring the complex interplay of loss, guilt, and the the pursuit of healing. So, let us venture forth, into the realm of Crimson Shadows, and bear witness to the extraordinary within the ordinary, the light that shines amidst the darkness, and the extraordinary journeys that unfold when we dare to confront the ghosts that haunt us. It's my first book please be kind guys, lots of love. from me ©All Rights Reserve, Copyright. Book by ZEE. You may not copy the story line.

Forgotten by crystalbooks24

//He had my hands pinned tightly above my head as I squirmed beneath him. The blade twisting between his fingers. He held it up to my throat. I was afraid but refused to show it. "Hurt me."

Courting Death | Book 3 by twelvewonderingstars

[BOOK THREE] "Falling in love was never a plan, Minnie." I sighed, fingers reaching up to rub my temples as I blinked my very translucent eyelids. "I was never courting death. No pun intended. And now I'm quite literally a few thousand feet underground, possibly dead, and in love with an eon-old spirit. What else could happen?" *** She had honest to god tried so hard as to stay out of harm's way. However, Addison's new found friendship with Death himself was enough to force her to make the worst decision of her life: Jump in front of a poisonous dart that could kill off an immortal god-like being just so she could protect the cynical spirit she had fallen in love with. Oh, and was it mentioned that the spirit was actually Death himself and had been trying to kill her off just a year ago? Yeah, that happened. Now stuck in the underworld of hell itself, Addison needs to find her way back to the land of the living. With only one of her best friends, Minnie Hoover, as a companion through this deadly (not so much for her since she's already stone cold dead) mission, as well as the said spirit by her side, the blonde stunner has five days to find her way back to life before she would be shipped off into the reincarnation system. And thus losing herself, and her friends, forever. How hard could it be? After all, Addison didn't need to worry about being stabbed in the back again (in every sense of the word). Perhaps all it takes is the one thing she tried to avoid from the beginning. A kiss from Death himself. ***** Highest Rank Fantasy: #7

She was living a peaceful life till she met her new boss Easton Fanaggaen who made her life ups and down through his bullying. Little did he knows, they shared a moment long ago when she was in her college years and he remembers that.

His belief is proved wrong when he saw Matilda for the first time and is smitten by her. He asks her to be his forge fiancée to run away from the marriage his parents have framed for him. ************ "I will," she said in a dark tone. "Okay let's talk tomorrow, my desperate arrogant boss must have sent me more work through email and I am in the middle of the street so I have to go," she said while rolling her eyes. She was standing in front of the bridge. She hung up the phone and turned around. The horror was standing alive and well in front of her. Her breath stopped and her very own voice was surrounding her head. "Desperate, arrogant" She felt her head spinning around. He was staring at her expressionlessly. He walked slowly towards her while she walked backward. "Desperate? Arrogant? Am I?" he said in a very deep voice. She felt her voice had gone to hell. She was trying to speak but no sound, just words. "I think you have not seen how desperate I can be" he brought his lips near to her ear and said in a whisper. He grabs her and put her on his shoulder. She felt his shoulder blades pinned hardly on her left rib. Warning: The spelling and grammar are bad but I'll try to edit it once the book is completed.

His Secrets And Lies (Bwwm) by CaiTheWriter

The banging starts again but this time a lot louder. I can hear the girls screaming up stairs. I pick up my phone and dial 911. "Hello this is 911 what's your emergency?" "There are a bunch of wolves outside my house. I think they have rabies or something I'm not sure." The banging gets louder and I can feel my face getting wet from the tears. "Mamm did you say wolves are there?" "Yes Yes there are wolves about 10 of them out here in my front yard. I need help!" I hang up the phone and sit on the end of the stair case. I close my eyes and start praying. Something I haven't done in a while. "I have faith, there is a god. I have faith, there is a god, I have faith, there is a god." I repeat over and over. The glass breaks and I start screaming. I stand up and try to scramble up the stairs. The door comes falling down and there are about 10 wolves standing in front of my door. A woman emerges and walks toward me. She snaps her fingers and the pretty brown wolf is in front of me. Right there by my face. "Ridanna you know what to do." Her teeth is wrapped around my neck and she sinks them in. I try to scream but it's hard to. At first it hurts but now the pain no longer exists. I feel like there is no such thing as pain and I feel light as if I can float off the Earth. Fine as hell white boy with a pro-black activist fall for each other. Cherise Miss Activist doesn't want to date Zaire the fine as hell white boy not for his race but for his secrets. What if he had a past he didn't tell you about and the only way you found out is because the past came to kill you? And I'm not talking werewolves and vampires.

The Ivory Princess: A Steamy Age Gap Reverse Harem Snow White Retelling by elodienyx_author

My life changed forever on the eve of my 18th birthday. Instead of celebrating in the grand halls of Sylvanova's palace, I was running for my life, the threat of my stepmother's guards echoing through the forest. The dark forest swallowed me whole, and just when I thought all was lost, I stumbled upon a hidden cabin - and seven rugged woodsmen who would change everything about the world I knew. These handsome brothers offered me sanctuary, but they gave me so much more. With each passing day, I felt the princess in me fade away, replaced by a woman I barely recognized - wild, free, and hungry for experiences my royal life never allowed. Each brother awakens something different within me. Their rough hands and hungry kisses teach me more than any court tutor ever dared. But as I lose myself in this newfound passion, a shadow looms. My stepmother's reach extends far, and even in this forest haven, danger lurks. Now, I must make an impossible choice. I'm caught between two worlds. Do I surrender to this primal life, reveling in the touch of seven devoted men? Or do I reclaim my throne, using my newfound strength to fight for a kingdom on the brink? My heart, my body, and the fate of an entire realm hang in the balance. This isn't the fairy tale you thought you knew. It's darker. Steamier. And the ending? That's still being written, one tempting page at a time.
