adventure dark darkfantasy dystopian fantasy gory grunge hell incubus vampire

Eden has spent her entire life outside the city slums of Hell's capital. 
Growing up, she had quickly learned just how different she was. Her outlandish sense of morality isolated her from the locals and her family alike. She lacked the demonic blood that pulsed with malice in each of them, a frail fledgling that didn't belong.
Trapped in a dizzying nightmare realm, she desperately searches for the drive to face each day. 

Desperate to catch a break from her controlling father figure, Osiris, Eden regularly tags along with her older brother and his gaggle of misfits. She never would have anticipated that a silly lore and some poking around would lead to an open opportunity for escape.

But can she really manage to navigate a realm as different as Earth?All Rights Reserved

Obsessed by nhalgorls

Here I was, 4 A.M in my shower, thinking about how good my cock would feel buried inside her pussy. How desperate I am to destroy her insides and breed her until sh- no-I couldn't handle it anymore. I imagined her legs wrapped around my waist as I fucked her senselessly. Our eyes would lock while I whispered sweet nothings. Then I'd flip her over, arching her back and digging her head into the mattress, suffocating her just a little, and then ramming into her without warning. I sound like a sadist but I can't help it. The things she makes my body do, I've never felt this with another woman. June is obsessed with Amirlya. Severely obsessed. So obsessed that he has control on her every move, eyes on her every step, and lurks in the shadows when she doesn't notice. Amirlya on the other hand just wants to be left alone. With years of tormenting, she is tired of constantly falling victim to June's strange possessiveness and frightening authority over her. However, that all changes when he strangely decides to reform himself, into a better man, for her sake. Will his attempt at improvement woo her over? Or make things worse?

The feared Crimson King by MsDarkerdays

I flinch as his hand reaches to my face, and aggressively pulls down the cloak from my head. He surveys my tear stained face and jewelry all the way down to my dress. Then he speaks, "what's your name?" I open my mouth but no words come out. Fear grips me again. "I believe I asked you a question," his eyes grow darker. "Al-Alice" I whisper. His eyes wander outside to the window. "You will address me as 'your highness' and I do not tolerate mistakes. I will punish you and you will never forget to follow my orders. Do I make myself clear?" -------------------- In this world everybody has a soulmate. Two people that are meant to be together for the rest of their lives. Finding them isn't as hard as you'd think, since every two people that belong together have the same tattoo somewhere on their body. It is something you're born with, something that's meant to be.

Some grow up knowing their future soulmate, some find them later in life, but in the end they always belong together. Marrying someone, who isn't you soulmate is punishable here in my family's kingdom Lyria. My father always believed in the bond. But what if the bond isn't meant to be after all.

Gaslight Trials | The Wattys2023 Shortlister ✔️ by EvelynHail

| 𝟳𝘅 𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘𝗗 ·|| HUNGER GAMES x CINDER || ONC 2023 Honorable Mention Amidst the escalating unrest between the windborne utopian city of Lighthaven and its seedy, oppressed underbelly Fumedge, the Grand Duke of Lighthaven, Lucius Sextus, comes up with an ingenious solution. To provide much-wanted respite from the brewing conflict, and achieve the apparent-if-temporary unity, he organizes Gaslight Trials - a highly entertaining panem-et-circenses combat event in the Pits. The combatants may use all steam and thaumaturgy powered augmentations at their disposal, and there is only one rule: defeat, or be defeated. The reward for the last one standing? A chance to start their life anew. A brass key to the city of Lighthaven with a luxurious mansion to call their own within, as well as an aeroship to command. When eighteen-year-old Veda Igglesden steps forward to take her timeworn adoptive father's place in the fight, she might as well be signing her death-sentence. With her eyes fully set on the prize, act-first-think-later Veda must harness the power of technology to try and win for her Papa Otto. Decades of breathing in the toxic air of Fumedge did a number on the old inventor's lungs, and being able to live in the air-filtered Lighthaven would sure come in handy right about now. A high-flying adventure full of gadgetry and intrigue; a pleasing blend of steampunk and postapocalyptic. See Veda unravel the mysterious ploy behind the game's organization, and uncover the truth about her secret origins. Can she cope both with the trials of physical and intellectual prowess, as well as with the trials of life itself: those of love, loss and regret? © 2023 EvelynHail Exclusively on Wattpad Based on prompt 49! Which is (I shan't leave ye hanging :P): "Master the rules of the game until you can play it better than they can." Michael Scott, "The Sorceress" Get ready for steampunkish tinkering,

Chained to The Throne (✔️) by thesrini

Dark. Possessive. Enchanting. She never believed fate could be this cruel. One day she was just an ordinary woman - independent, bright, and unafraid to speak her mind - and the next, she was bound by the silent command of a man who ruled not only a kingdom, but every heartbeat that dared to defy him. He was a King feared by many - arrogant, ruthless, and dangerously calm. His silence carried more power than any threat, and his gaze was enough to make the strongest men kneel. No one questioned him. No one dared to say no. Until she did. Their marriage wasn't born from love, but from power - a deal wrapped in deceit and sealed by force. She was meant to be his ornament, his queen in name only. But something inside her refused to bend completely. And that defiance, that flicker of fire in her eyes, became the one thing he couldn't control. He told her love was weakness. Yet every time she looked away, his possessiveness deepened. Every time she cried, his anger turned to obsession. He could destroy empires, but not the storm she brought into his heart. Trapped between duty and desire, she learns that every chain he places around her is not just to bind - but to protect. The palace walls whisper secrets, his touch hides unspoken fears, and every night she wonders: is she his prisoner, or his queen? A mysterious, darkly romantic tale of power, betrayal, and a love that blurs the line between dominance and devotion. Because when the King falls for his captive, the kingdom itself trembles. 👑

Bound by Flame and Shadow by er782568

Amara's past is a blur, her memories shattered by fire and blood. Rescued from the dungeons of Malrathis, the demon realm, she is thrust into a world where her powers-wild, uncontrollable, and tied to an ancient race-are both a blessing and a curse. In a world torn by war, Amara, is caught between two warring realms. When a rescue mission brings her out of the hands of the demons, she is thrust into a new life with the humans. But there are secrets hidden within her past-secrets that tie her to the fae and to a massacre that changed the course of history. As Amara trains to control her powers and find her place in this new world, her path intertwines with Calder, a determined soldier, and Kaelith, the enigmatic demon prince. Their connection is complicated, their intentions unclear, but one thing is certain: Amara's future is bound to them both. As she grows stronger, the lines between allies and enemies blur, and she must decide who she can trust, and who might betray her. But the question remains: can she trust those who've offered her sanctuary-or is there a darker fate waiting for her?

I screamed, pulling harshly at all my restraints, attempting to get free, hearing the harsh clank of metal on metal with every movement. Colder than the table beneath me, chills ran through my body. This couldn't be happening, please. A sadistic laugh rang through the room and my head fell in defeat as my eyes squinted closed, not wanting to see his face. "Yes, actually." I felt his disgusting, filthy hands trail down my arms. I could feel him leaning forwards, moving himself closer to me. I couldn't bring myself to open my eyes, so I just lay there, waiting for what I knew was to come. "You're mine now, mut." His voice made my body tense more than it already had. The way he sounded so angry. So possessive. I dared myself to speak, "W-what ar-are you gonna d-do to me?" My voice shook and wavered so much in my fear that it was numb to my ears. Alpha Dave let out a low, calloused chuckle that sent chills throughout my body.

This story only goes to chapter 2. Sample only!!! http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/DarkRomance1 A Vampire has no soul. They are just a dark reflection of a person who's soul was ultimately lost. This means the vampire can only face a oblivion, if they are destroyed. A Thousand years ago, a young priest is seduced by a female vampire. As he begins to die, he has a choice to make. Either choose salvation, and let his guardian angel carry his soul to Heaven. Or, give into lustful temptation, and choose to stay on earth as a vampire. He rejects God, and his guardian angel, but soon realizes he made the wrong choice. Rejecting the angel's protection, his soul falls into the gapes of hell. He feels empty, longing for what he himself discarded. To his dismay, he soon falls in love with a human woman. He has three choices. He can turn her, kill her, or let her go. After raping her, and almost killing her because of his uncontrollable bloodlust, he chooses the latter. He watches her from a far, only to protrect her if need be. To his horror he soon learns that an Incubus, a fallen angel that sided with Lucifer against God, has also fallen in love with her. The demon will stop at nothing to make her his. Now the vampire must work with her guardian angel to protect her. The same angel who's love he had previously rejected. However the angel not only has a past with the vampire, but the incubus as well. Who's love will she ultimately choose in the end? Can she be protected in a fantasy world that the vampire creates for her. Or will she choose free will, and harsh reality in the end? Third person narrative, written in standard script. The narrator is usually the vampire. However some parts of the story are narrated by the Incubus. There is some role playing. The reader is actually the female protagonist. This is made apparent by the Character X Reader written in italics.
