Memories were fleeting shards of a fractured past, dulled by time and buried beneath pain. For Maeri, the only clarity was him - the man whose voice carried promises as sweet as they were suffocating. 

Seven hundred days beneath his unrelenting watch, each sunset trapped within walls that whispered horrors only she could hear - the echoes of a girl who could barely recall herself. Scars marred skin like ghostly confessions, while tears carved silent rivers of longing. Somewhere beyond the shadows lay a family long forgotten, a home that felt more like a dream.

But even in despair, an ember of determination burned. Freedom would demand more than courage - confronting the darkness she had once called her world. A kiss always haunted resolve, a presence attached like her own shadow even in the vast unknown; a touch she yearned to feel, a voice she longed to hear. 

The chains he left behind were not so easily broken. 

His presence lingered in every step she took, the promises that felt more like a curse than salvation.
H̶o̶l̶d̶ ̶m̶e̶.̶ ̶H̶e̶a̶l̶ ̶m̶e̶.̶ ̶T̶o̶u̶c̶h̶ ̶m̶e̶.̶ ̶S̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶m̶e̶.̶

Haunted by her past and hunted by the unknown - companions to offer salvation, guiding hands in a world of lost souls finding a once cherished home within world of cruel beauty, where monsters wear the faces of angels and every step forward comes at a price.

But the shadows of her escape are only the beginning, and somewhere in the darkness, he waits. Watching. Searching. Promising that no matter how far she runs, no one escapes him for long.
Freedom comes with a choice: to face what lies ahead or be consumed by the past she left behind as some chains are never truly broken.

Maeve's ability to touch others' souls can be heartbreaking and confusing, but when she connects with two murderers, it turns her world upside down. Are they still killers if they only kill monsters? What starts as a random attack on the street stopped by two strangers quickly escalates as Maeve discovers her attackers were demons. Thrusting her into their violent world, Maeve struggles to hold on to her humanity, making choices she never believed she would have to make. Disturbed but drawn to each of them. Will's bestial nature calls to her one moment and rejects her the next. While a powerful attachment to Ander's gentle soul comforts her, but every time they connect, she feels his darkness just below the surface. Will's entire life has been a war against monsters, alongside his best-friend Ander. Honor bound by duty, he is brutal, relentless, and uncompromising in his mission to protect the masses. He didn't understand how much his world would change after saving Maeve, or how she would shatter his convictions. Ander may have magical talents but in his mind, nothing will redeem him from the abomination he is. Bound by more than shed blood, Will, his adopted brother, and only friend. Together they seek and destroy aberrations that poison the world. Until Maeve touched his hand, there was nothing else but the mission. With her, Ander could see a different side of himself, a different life. This is a character driven story written from the 3 main characters POV's. It's a mature adult dark romance & contains dubious triggering situations that some might find offensive. If you want an instant, fearless heroine, Maeve won't be it. Her story is discovering who she is & what power love can bring versus kicking monsters asses. Power & money aren't the only things that make the world turn & those that wield the greatest power control destiny. If you're looking for heroes, Will & Ander are NOT it. If you're drawn to tortured villainous souls, you'll enjoy their saga.

"Don't move." His dark eyes narrowed slightly as suddenly, he strode and grabbed her wrist, taking advantage of her current state. She stood, her one arm striving in his hold and the other arm tightly clutching the robe, against her exposed chest. "These futile attempts aren't going to work." His thick low voice was unexpectedly soft that it sent tantalizing chills down her spine and her back went stiff as she still tried to push him to let her go, but he didn't budge. As she looked up from her wrist to his face, his lips itched themselves into a cool smile. His predatory essence fortified and grew intense as he drew her closer, making her soft chest crashed to his firm and solid one while she sought to have the robe on herself, by any means. His one leg was between her legs as his hand slid to her thighs. His fingertips trailed on her soft skin, enjoying the feeling of the warmness her body provided, despite being in the water. ▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪ Have you ever seen anyone wanting someone so desperately that they could actually feel that crave driving them insane? He said he had always loved me, madly. From the outside, he was a dangerously attractive man. But from inside, he was a sinfully lethal and merciless monster. To keep me, he has committed uncountable sins. He chopped, and tamed the wings of my freedom, caging me in his Paradise. He completely ruined me. Destroyed me. But still, it wasn't enough. Why? Because insanity knows no limits. He didn't know either. ◀ | MATURE CONTENT | ▶ ◀ | DARK ROMANCE / DARK THEMES | ▶ ▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪ [ SCARED - Trapped For Infinity ] ▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪ All Rights Reserved 2020 © Panchi Verma

[FINISHED] ____________________________________ Whenever a bad thing occurs, someone would always say "Look at the bright side!" or "Look at the silver lining!" They however, don't know that there isn't always hope in despair. If there is light, there is a shadow after all. As I like to say "Don't waste time. There may be no tomorrow". ____________________________________ William Adams, just about like any other normal person in this world. Though, what makes him stand out is that he is somewhat different, alluring even. But what does make him stand out? This person had a wish just like any other person his age after all... Being in love with another person that will also love them back. And did he find someone like that? Yes, he did. And maybe she did as well. Quite a love-struck couple those two were. If you saw them, you'd think they would have already married... Though, taken from the tragic tales of high school love... There is a reason it's called first love only. It is the first, but not the last. They split apart. He was 16 at the time. He couldn't eat properly for days. Cried endlessly for someone he lost. Though what was he crying for? She did not die after all... Ẃ̴̱̝̟͒́̊̽̔͛̐̒̀̐̈́͌̾ȩ̶̨̗̫͈͈͓̮͕́̓̌͊͗̑͒̐i̸͎̰̟̳̰̪͚͕̪̮̯̫͇̎̈́̈̎͜r̷̡̠͚̳̮͕̭̪̬͉̥̈́͌̍̍̆̅̌͂̌̎͛̚͜ͅḑ̸̱͕͒̓̐. And as in all things of life, everything is not permanent. Nothing stays still. Time is linear, It will always move forwards. He just about turned 18. Studying in college, Met someone new, and has a supportive friend... It seems he has reached the "Silver Lining" in his story. Unbeknownst to him though, He is yet to see it.

#1 spiritual powers 30/08/22 "......your soul? It's beautiful, unlike the ones I have seen here, it's quite unique" "But surrounded by dark mists, you see if you ask me I think it's really dark inside and it's gradually dying" he replied still looking straight lost in his thoughts as the moon rays continued to embrace his face. For a moment they both said nothing. It looked late, everywhere was cloudy and a gigantic moon covered half of the sky. Everywhere looked empty, dry, imaginary. They were both seated on a bench, One was dashingly handsome with nice features but still looked ordinary. Humanly. But the other one was different, with gigantic white wings covering her back, Beautiful? yes, amazingly beautiful, with her long red hair and beautiful long red gown. But possessed a very powerful dark Aura. "Let me save you" She faced him this time, no longer in her thoughts holding his rough hands gently. "Running to a pretty demon for help.... ehhh I'm not sure about that" he replied jokingly as he couldn't help but caress her soft cheeks. "I don't know if you are here to save me or destroy me, but I will trust you" "I'm not sure about that too Alex, but let's give it a try" He nodded then disappeared into thin air. "Trust?" She couldn't help but mumble to herself, as tears could be seen slowly sliding down her cheeks, And her wings gradually changing to its original color, Black. Then he woke up. It was just a dream. #1 spiritual powers 30/08/22.
