How long is a lifetime?
For Luc, it stretches far beyond human reckoning. As punishment for a crime that shook the foundations of the world he once belonged to, he is now condemned to walk the earth among mortals. Luc has carved out a vast empire for himself through both respectable ventures and shadowed dealings, but none of it brings him peace.
One rain-slicked evening, from the balcony outside his favored courtesan's room at the infamous Bessie's brothel, Luc watches a line of enslaved girls being dragged in. Among them, a girl with hair like the sunset and fire in her eyes is struck for resisting. Something ancient stirs within him. On a not-so-uncharacteristic impulse, Luc decides to buy her.
...
Aida, stolen from a faraway land, is young, bruised, and burning with defiance. Her presence was never meant to matter, but soon she becomes more than a passing distraction and inconvenience to Luc. She cracks something long buried in his soul: a memory of grace, a glimpse of light, a pull toward something he thought lost forever.
Forced to share a living arrangement neither of them truly understands, their constant clashes breed awkwardness, tension, unexpected moments of humor, and something more.
Can two broken souls, worlds apart, save each other from the darkness they were never meant to endure alone?
*This story is original fiction with Luc as the main character, set in an alternative Victorian era. It is intended to be the prequel/spin-off to 'Until The End Of Time', where Luc played a major part toward the end. Slavery is depicted.

Vicious Fangs (Mystic Bonds #1) | COMPLETED
❝ Let's find you a new home, shall we? ❞ •○• A cold Shifter General. A bloodthirsty Vampire Prince. A powerful Fae King. A mysterious protective werewolf Alpha. And a human girl. The question was - why were the strings of fate bringing them together? •○• 18 year old, sharp and vigilant Cara Arnel was one step away from slavery freedom and being sold. And being caught by the Shifter General of the Vampire Army was most certainly not a part of that plan. Nor was becoming a scullery maid or an assaulted slave in the Royal Palace instead of a blood bag or sex slave. But that was when things started to change. Tensions became high and fights broke out in the unstable supernatural world with the return of Lucifer's son: Killian after more than four centuries. Her visions started again. And a bit too many supernatural males were willing to protect her for no reason whatsoever. Turns out, Cara might not be as insignificant as she thought. Yet, she was undoubtedly human. And it seemed, she wasn't as well informed of her past as she thought. If her memories were the ones to be relied upon. At least.......the ones she had of this life. •○• Shortlisted for Wattpad India Awards 2021 (Please don't copy the story line. It's all mine. A figment of my imagination.

As a Wrath Demon, she is obliged to provide a certain number of human souls to the Fallen God every month so she can stay in the Human Realm.

One day she follows the shady tip-off and finds herself in the middle of a gruesome crime scene as the main suspect. The lead investigator Melkyal, an Archangel of Justice, gives her a choice: she can help him find an actual perpetrator and get a clean slate, or refuse and spend a few weeks in jail for petty crimes. With looming deadlines, she can't afford to waste time. But teaming up with an angel can't be a good idea. Even though he seems reasonable and focused on finding the truth, he's still a mortal enemy. Sannarah has an opportunity to topple the unjust order plaguing her whole life, but the chances of success are slim, and the consequences of failure are unfathomable. Melkyal must choose between blind obedience to his god and trusting his own judgment.

Trapped In The Allure Of Sins
After a painful heartbreak, Clara swore never to love again. Longing for a fresh start, she prepared for her life-changing surgery... only to awaken in an unfamiliar world, where fate's allure twisted her destiny. Mistaken for a princess whose identity was yet unknown to her, she was forced into marriage with a ruthless, blood-sucking king - a man feared by all, even death itself. But Clara's new reality was only the beginning. ********** In the deepest depths of the earth lies a sacred place of endless torment - Hell. A sacred land of sorrow, pain, and eternal punishment, specially made for those who committed different kinds of atrocities on earth. Yet, the true ruler of this sacred, cursed place is not Satan, nor Lucifer, but a being far more ancient and feared. Demons, witches, immortals - even Satan himself - bow to his name. The one who whispered rebellion into Lucifer's heart, the fear that feeds on silence, the one whose existence the Bible never dared to reveal. His identity remains unknown to all humans, not because it was forgotten, but because it was forbidden. His allure thrives in mystery for what is more terrifying than an enemy you can't name? But the question remains ..... Who is this king of Hell?.... Why was his name forbidden for all mortal being?.... What is his true purpose for creating all the evil that thrives in the world?........ And most importantly why was Clara-a broken-hearted human on the brink of a new life dragged into a completely different world?..... The questions remain constant...... yet unremarkable answered.
