[COMPLETE] Casper's got three things: a trash boyfriend, a deadend job, and enough self-destructive habits to ruin his life. So, if Cain - a charming, enigmatic stranger - seems a little too captivated by him, he's not going to question his luck.

Except his perfect stranger turns out to be yet another bad decision. Claiming to be Casper's lover from a past life, Cain takes him prisoner.

But even if his kidnapper's starting to give him butterflies, Casper can't stay trapped in a cage. He knows how to get out - he's just got to trick Cain into thinking Casper loves him back, but Casper's never been able to stick to a plan. He's drowning in depression, his mental break demon won't leave him alone, and he's struggling to remember what's real and what's the game.

Especially now Cain's madness seems just a little too real to feel safe.

He was her rock, her best friend, her first love. He became her worst nightmare, her tormentor, her captor She was his everything. His obsession. Their story should have ended with that court case, but he's found a way back to her, and he won't give her another opportunity to escape. Not this time. ------------------------------------------- Shivering, I sobbed out, unable to speak, unable to move. "Shh, shh, now baby-girl, it's alright, you're safe, don't cry" he soothed, moving closer to me. "N-Noah, I w-want to go home," I sobbed, feeling weak from my inability to talk without stuttering. A gasp left my parted lips as his hand forcefully connected with my cheek, "You are home, so I don't want to hear that crap from you, okay?" shaking, I looked down at my feet, his gaze too menacing to hold. "I said, do you understand" he spit through clenched teeth, "y-yes, I'm sorry" I whispered, a new wave of tears making their appearance. "Good girl, now I need you to keep being a good girl, okay?" nodding, my eyes met his dark ones. His form towered over me, making me feel small and irrelevant. "Words, Embry!" He demanded as I stuttered out a quiet yes. I studied him cautiously as he walked towards the far end of the room, shuffling through drawers before stalking back towards me and crouching down. I sucked in a breath as I saw the knife in his hand, his face held a mischievous grin as it glinted in the light. "Now baby-girl, you see, as much as I hate to, you need to be punished, do you know why?" Warning! This story is for mature audience, it contains strong language, abuse, mature themes and sensitive topics. Please enjoy, -Aphrodite.

Because of the events that happened on my birthday, I am no longer a member of this pack. Something that I knew nothing about and was out of my control. But my father banished me, and I was still being hated by my pack. Is one thing, being rejected by your unfaithful mate is another. Especially in front of your entire friends and family.

{WATTYS 2023 WINNER} • Book 1 of the Daegelus series • While hunting for his missing friend, Elijah stumbles upon a fiery journalist, who so happens to be looking for the same people as him: the doctors who experimented on him when he was a child. But when the two are forced to go on the run together, Elijah's healing wounds are opened, and he realises that Lyca Corp. took more than his childhood. ⊳⊱ ♕ ⊰⊲ The moment Elijah escaped from the lab where he unwillingly spent the past thirteen years of his life, he planned to live up to his promise: he'd find Haru, the only thing that kept him sane growing up. But with no idea where Lyca Corp. transferred him, Elijah hunts down the former doctors who made his life hell in search of answers. After chasing his next lead, however, Elijah accidentally rescues Zoe, a journalist locked in his target's trunk. He has no choice but to bring her and her roommate, Jake, along with him as he flees the city to avoid capture. But as he continues his search, Elijah struggles with the scars Lyca Corp. burned into him. He has no idea who or what he is; he doesn't understand the power raging inside his bodyーthe power Lyca Corp. desperately tried to pry from him. Why does he have an insatiable bloodlust? What does the whispering voice inside his head want? And why does he feel as though a huge part of him has been torn away? ❅ LGBTQ couples ❅ Grump x Sunshine ❅ Dystopian Urban Fantasy ❅ Word Count: 137,000 ─────────────────────────────────── ✵ Numenverse year: 1335 **April 2024 Editor's Pick **#3 in Werewolf 5/4/2024 **#1 in GayRomance 5/4/2024 2023 © Tate Csernis | | Series is exclusive to Wattpad

Book Two of Five in the New Beginnings Series. **You do NOT have to read Inhale, Exhale, & Breathe to enjoy these stories** SALEM LUNA: Does anyone ever feel like they're riding a mechanical bull that is never ending? No matter how many times you get thrown off the thing, you appear right back on it? No? Just me then? See, I have this best friend. Former. Best. Friend. It's taking my brain a while to get used to it. Whatever. I'm hopelessly in love with him, and I tried desperately to admit my feelings out loud. So, I did. Raven Fox told me not to love him, and the look he seared into my skin when he said it was now branded into my brain. Now we're on the university book club Christmas retreat. Who did I get roomed with? Raven because of course I was given the bird. The damn bird that didn't love me in return. Which would have been fine had he not looked like the idea disgusted him. Six months have gone by since that day, and our tension is growing with more animosity each second. Now, we're doing activities together, and Christmas is my favorite holiday. He's not screwing this up for me. After a snowstorm starts hitting, though, I end up stuck in the middle of nowhere, out of gas in my snowmobile. I'm terrified as the wind starts picking up and snow starts whipping my face. I thought he wasn't listening. That he didn't care. So, why did he become the one to save me? Why does he look so distraught? His words say one thing, but his eyes are telling me his words are lies. Raven is lying to me. He loves me. But he doesn't want me to love him. All I want to know is why because I can't breathe without him anymore.

However, when the ship he was supposed to take is lost at sea, he boards the Silver Treader to reach his destination. But the Galleon turns out to be carrying more than military and medical supplies, and the prisoner in the brig knows his name. - ⥽ ◯ ⥼ - Without the determination or skillset to join his family's hunting business, Omega wolf Jesse makes a last-ditch effort to find his life's meaning. He travels to DeiganLupus for the Grey Moon Ceremony, a yearly celebration where most rejected and unwanted wolf walkers like him find their soulmates. However, not only is the ship he was supposed to take lost at sea, but the only way to get there is on board a military vessel carrying supplies...and a dangerous prisoner. The moment Jesse boards, his instincts warn him of nearby danger, but they also urge him to follow a mysterious voice echoing through the vents. After crossing paths with Ross, a wolf walker on trial for the murder of hundreds of his own kind, Jesse's objective to reach DeiganLupus is overshadowed by the possibility that this criminal might be the very wolf he'd come looking for. But when he learns that Ross is the Alpha of an outlawed pack that his family have been hunting for years, he is faced with a gut-wrenching decision: hand over his mate and hope it's enough to prove his worth to his family, or stick with the man whose soul is tied with his and turn his back on his family for good. ◯ FTM Trans MC ◯ MxM Romance ◯ Fated Mates ◯ Word Count: 38,365 ─────────────────────────────────── ✵ NumenVerse year: 1050
