Burnt Blood: The Werewolf Within by Demon_Wolf_Detective

His best friend is shot dead, and the world thinks Metropolitan Police Officer George Reynolds did it. They were in the one place that should've been safe, their police station. At least it was until aspiring detective George Reynolds came lucid from another blackout. Blood pools tantalisingly across the floor and there's two bullet holes in the wall. His best friend, officer Chris Wells is dead and George finds himself with the body and no memory of how. Only a tape recorder and a locker key for a clue. It's a dangerous game, from a lifetime of planning, rigged to make George look guilty and force him to remember what he really is and what he went through as a child. A pure born werewolf. Kidnapped from his real family to be experimented on. George gets dangled on strings by the killer puppet master and taken on a haunting journey never to be forgotten again. Made to relive the past trauma of a tragic fire that took the lives of the family that tortured him. Bodies continue to fall, all framed to fit the murderous narrative of an elaborate plot for revenge. When he finally remembers, when he's finally broken, another unique side to George wakes. So does a dark new world from the shadows. George learns the painful truth, and none of it is good. Nobody saw the real killer coming or expected that it could be someone they trusted. It will take everything George has to save his friends, new and old. Nobody will be the same. Nor will their view of the world. Its rife with the supernatural. **** Cover made on Canva Pro. [[word count: 114,000 words]] Warning Contains Murder, blood, demons, satanic worship, down-to-earth werewolf/demon wolf, guns, dead bodies, and talk of foster care may trigger. Ghosts.

The Devil's Redemption by devilqueen67

"On our first date, you will be wearing a beautiful black dress; I would have it made especially for you; it would hug your carves perfectly." He murmurs, voice low and gravelly. "You'll let your hair down, won't you? I love when they fall on your face, Your lips will be painted in a red shade," he continues, his thumb grazing my bottom lip "Why do you think they'll be painted red, Solnishko?"His hands glide to my face, thumbs brushing along my jaw. "So, at the end of our date, I can remove it myself," he breathes. "I will take your lips between my teeth and suck and lick them clean. Then I will take you to my room,"His fingers trail from my cheek, sliding down my neck, grazing my collarbone, and lingering over the swell of my breast. "When we reach my bedroom, I will take that black dress off your body, I will throw you down on my bed and start removing my clothes, but you'll be looking into my eyes. You'll see a promise in them- promise of a night filled with pleasure and we will dance on my bed, Zayka. All night long, a dance filled with passion, pleasure, and just a hint of pain that you will crave." "You will be screaming my name for hours, and by the time morning comes, your voice will be hoarse. Once we're finished, I'll hold you close-so close that nothing else will exist in your mind, in your heart, but me. Only my name." "Then I will ask you on the second date, and you will say yes again. But this time, you will be wearing a red dress, your hair will be down, and your lips will be painted red again. We will repeat it all over again, then I will ask you on a third date, and this time you will be wearing levender just like your gorgeous eyes. I will take you out on dates until there are no colors left for you to wear, and then we will repeat that circle all over again and again."My stomach flutters as my heartbeat quickens. The image he paints in my mind feels too real, too vivid.
