For 20 years he kept his promise, for 20 long and grueling years he watched from afar, until something happens, something that Hades can't ignore. He makes a hasty decision and leaves the underworld, heading to Earth where he knows she will be.

"How do I look?" He muttered, stepping out of the bathroom. The room seemed increasingly smaller with his large stature in it. I nearly gasped, why did he have to look so good in those grey sweats?

HIS NEXT VICTIM (DARK THRILLER) by thewriter_dwthomas

TRIGGER Warning: This story contains NON-CONSENT/ PHYSICAL ABUSE/ VERBAL ABUSE/ STOCKHOLM SYNDROME/SELF HARM. Kenise Shepard was perfect for him. He knew this upon first glance. Nevermind her wayward fashions and silly dreams of her future, that would be corrected in no time. He preferred to focus on the positive; the present. She would be perfect laying beneath him, caged in his arms, like a butterfly in his palm never to be set free. For her, this was a nightmare, a parallel universe when the handsome man she was dating turned into a demon, perfectly crafted to claw at her fragile mind. He couldn't force himself in her life, could he? There were laws against this sort of thing, right? Embry Johnston, a sex worker at a local Atlanta nightclub. There she stumbles into the world of the dangerous, Devon Kimber, a brutal pimp whose affection for the woman he fancies turns grave. What happens when Embry leads naive Kenise to this dangerous world and Devon likes what he sees? Will Kenise fall for Devon's charm and wit? Or will she see the monster beneath the mask?

Justice For The Fallen ✓ by axgirl13

Unjustly accused of murder, the Demon of Wrath joins forces with the Archangel of Justice to find the true culprit. ____ Sannarah lives from one deadline to the next. 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. If she fails to do so, she'll be sent straight back to Hell. And it's not a nice place, even for demons. 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. They may have to take a leap of faith to save each other. ____ 🌟Shortlisted for the Wattys 2022🌟 🥇place in the Count Awards in the Paranormal category ____ The beautiful cover made by amazing @Lueur_laVespine
