The Golden Girl by Hood45

Sometimes a man has to do things himself. And when that happens, well, you're screwed because men are idiots. And I would know, since I'm the biggest fool of them all. Ditto Night here, and I just wanted to enjoy my little break from adventure and training when a damn girl shows up being chased by hunters. Naturally, I have to do something. Because what's worse than a stained conscience? A lot of things, but that's not the point. Now I must fight, which sucks since I just wanted to relax. But whatever. Let the hunt begin. A False King novella A big shoutout to @FallenTopics for the cover! It's amazing and everyone should go check out FallenTopics Graphic Shop!

Living with Arrogant CEO by Michelle_Zeah

Matilda Huston is a 25 years old woman with a painful past, living alone and escaping from her abusive past. She moved to Canada a few months back and got a job at a multinational company. 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. Easton Fanaggaen is a 27 years old hot billionaire and the CEO of Fanaggaen&Co whose business chains are spread throughout the world. He is handsome, hot sexy, tall, and rich, everything a girl wants. He does not believe in love and he just had those typical one-night stands. 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.

The Diamond In The Rough✓ by KING_KHAREN

||Book 1 of the Diamond Series|| The world had fallen into chaos a long time ago. Creatures came and enslaved the human race: Vampires, Lycans/Werewolves and Demons. They took and slaughtered thousands of innocent people. Men, Women and Children. After suffering for ten years, another set of beings came. They had enormous wings and a shining silver rings floating above their heads. Rings that could be used as a weapon if necessary. These creatures were called 'Angels'. They were kind and honestly the opposite of every supernatural creature that existed in that era. They built their kingdom protecting as many humans as they could but the dark creatures had other things planed. There was a war that broke out. Every man for themselves or more specifically, every creature for themselves.The war went on for almost 500 years. Then there was a woman. She wasn't an Angel or Vampire or Lycan or Demon. Turns out she was a hybrid of all four. More powerful than anything. No one knows for sure how this hybrid was made and at some point, no one cared. Her name was Elaka. She was seen as a priestess. Elaka was the savior of all humans. She created a boarder and the world was divided in two: The Land of Light; was so peaceful that it had to be shielded from the world. Elaka had put a protective hidden wall around the kingdom so no one would come in unless brought in by the citizens. There were humans that lived there and their lives were a paradise. And total peace. And there was the Dark land. Where every other creature lived. The three major kingdoms tolerated each other for as long as they could. Years passed without war. Until Elaka suddenly vanished. Without her, the world would become chaotic again. The crystal was lost in the forest. So many have searched for it but never succeeded. Even if they ever found it, the legend says it was set in stone. It was glued to a tree and only 'The Diamond in The Rough' could pull it out. That person was never found.

MAGE CHRONICLES: THE BEGINNING by GW_Merak1

BOOK 1 Mage Chronicles: The Beginning. New world, New family, New friends... and enemies, Multiple mates? Kidnap, murder. A crown she wasn't ready to wear or wield. And a toddler to boot. Getting kicked out of the dance team, moments before the start of a tour she had planned and choreographed was beginning to look like the least of Mahina's worries. ******************* Hey! Mean! --*hic*-- Don't hit me! --*hic*-- That's going to --*hic*-- Hurt so bad when I ---*hic*-- Wake up." Later I would question how the hell I wasn't panicking at that moment because the shadows were clearly there to kidnap me or even kill me. "Be still!" I huff in frustration. "You keep moving and blinking in and out! Oh God is your power running out? We could plug you in. I have plenty of outlets in my room." "I know I'm going to regret asking, but how would you plug as in?" asks Shadow B. "Simple, the outlet has holes and you have... things that can go into those holes, though I don't think you would fit...I hope you don't fit because that would be just sad for you... we would have to use your fingers. Yes! That is an awesome idea let's go." "Sleepover with the shadows!" I yell raising my arms in the air which causes me to stumble. "Oh, for fate's sake! Knock her out damn it, those heir boys will be back any minute, that distraction won't last long," One of the shadows grumbles, I'd bet it was the asshat who didn't like me.

Deathsworn Vol. II by MichaelPanter5

*** Sequel to Watty's winner 2018 *** Best read after Vol. I "Killing is the draught that must needs be drunk. Guilt is but the coin we use to pay for it." Moons have passed and wounds have healed, but the memories of Hammar are as lucid for Bard as the future is bleak. Once more the Gallowmen must venture forth armed with their wits, their weapons and their will, united in the knowledge that only through death can they purchase life. Their relationship with the Burned Priests straddles the edge of a wicked knife, and though their list may grow shorter, patience is a commodity that has run its course. Now the Gallowmen must travel as far east as one can go, to a corner of the map thats notoriety lies in it being perilously unforgiving to those who know it not. Here, death stalks the jungles, creatures of the dark hold dominion, and life is a luxury pledged only to the strong. At the edge of the world, Bard and his rogues must navigate more than mere men to get what they need. Their life is their list ... if they can survive long enough to see it through. *Deathsworn Vol II is a spin-off story from a much larger trilogy I'm currently writing for publication. Comments/reviews/feedback would be greatly appreciated wherever possible. Volume I of IV is COMPLETE ... Enjoy.

Mortal Death by emi_the_poet

"I was the greatest mass murderer the world had ever seen. I was death." Catina Salvatore is a Reaper, someone who works for the company of Death himself. She had always been a good Reaper, doing her job with pride and joy (as far as cutting the threads of life is enjoyable), but when she unravels a secret she wasn't supposed to know, her employer becomes her greatest enemy. By getting kicked out of the company she becomes a mortal and is now just as powerless against death as all of them. Still, Catina is determined to publish the truth and save the earth from falling apart. By her side she suddenly finds Ezra, a former colleague as support and the shadowplay begins, which might not only cause to give the handsome young man her trust, but also her heart. Yet, focus and concentration are needed, because Death Day is coming and it will be an end to all of life. An urban fantasy lovestory through life and death. Might contain swearing and mature content. I am not a native speaker, so sorry for grammar and spelling mistakes, oops.

Taken Captive by reyatutt

I wrote this when I was 16 give me a break. TAKEN SERIES: BOOK ONE TW: kidnapping, manipulation, toxic/abusive relationship, violence, death, grief, self-harm, suicidal thoughts/attempts, sexual assault, non-consensual sexual content, alcoholism, stockholm syndrome, switching partners, etc. Do not read this story if you get triggered easily, if you decide to and it triggers you, please don't report. This story will portray a BDSM relationship, not counting the toxicity and genuine abuse that goes on throughout it. Do not comment anything unnecessarily judgmental, especially if you don't know what you're talking about. Thank you, enjoy. - - - - - "Don't ever do something like that again, or I will kill you, understood? "Yes, sir." - - - - - After being continuously hurt, left alone, heart broken and losing the one thing that kept her going, Nia Seymour turns to a new job that will show her how to let loose, live her life and make her happy again.

She's his. He feeds off of the tears she cries, loves the pain all over her face when he hurts her over and over again, whether it's purposefully or not. As time passes and feelings evolve, soon enough the tears falling out of her eyes no longer give him pleasure, only pain and all he wants is for her to be happy, as long as she's with him. • • • The universe is sending challenge after challenge to these two individuals who want nothing but each other. Will they get past these secrets, lies, toxicity and pain? Or will one of them give up? - - - - -
