The candle is flickering wildly in the corner, dancing to the solemn tune of silence. Shadows teleport and morph around the room, yet somehow, through his tired haze, Strayul can just barely make out the sight of Dorian's nails digging into his arms, forming small moons on his skin.
Strayul's breathing stops. His heart stops. Everything stops. The shadows freeze. Dorian freezes. He knows eyes are on him.
"Dorian?"
He stays silent. He stares at the wall, his eyes wide. His nails are frozen, buried in his skin. "Are you okay, Dorian?"
"Yes. Incredibly."
"Okay."
They were both silent for a long while, aware of each other's thoughts - what are we supposed to say now?
Strayul wishes he hadn't said anything. Dorian wishes he hadn't said anything. But the words have already been spoken - Strayul knows something. The lack of information is suffocating for the both of them - how much does Strayul know - what's going on with Dorian?
Dorian loosens his grip on himself, but it doesn't matter anymore. Strayul already saw what he saw.
At last, Strayul gives up. He lifts his hand, and with a harsh flick, the flame becomes smoke, and the shadows swallow the room much like they swallow Dorian's mind.
"Sleep well, Dorian."

If you were hoping for a romance, you came to the wrong place.
We got angst, we got crime, we got societal issues and corrupt governments, but we do not have (much) romance. Don't let the cover deceive you -- I just thought the red hair was pretty.
I'll do my best to update frequently but I got The Sad so we will see how that goes :)

Book #2 in The Fire series SELENE BLAZE "You've got the wrong girl." I say as I continue to take a step backward. He stepped forward not letting me get away. "I know her you've seen her, so you're gonna tell her something for me." Jaxon says taking an extra step forward and I immediately step backward again. I can't let him get close to me. It's been years, but for some reason, he still scared the hell out of me. "What if I say no? What if I don't tell her?" I ask as I let out a shaky breath. "Oh, you're going to tell her." Jaxon says taking another step forward as I take one back, but my back meets a wall. "You tell her, that if I ever see her again, I'll kill her." "What did she ever do to you?" I growl, suddenly thankful for the wig on my head, covering my real hair. "She lived." Jaxon hisses and I knew what he was talking about. He wishes my sister had survived instead of me. Well, he can just join the club, he's not the only one. I swallow as he leans closer. "Do you think she'll understand?" I slowly nod. "She'll understand." I say. "Good." He smiles leaning back. "Also tell her to stay away from the strip. She doesn't deserve to race." "She'll never agree to that." I blurt out. It was the truth, I would never agree to that. "I guess you better find a way to convince her." Jaxon says. "Or your heads on the line." "Is there a problem here?" Wesley asks coming towards us. "No." Jaxon smiles before patting my shoulder roughly. "Besides, I was just leaving." He walks away leaving me alone with Wesley. "Are you okay?" He asks and I look at him. I scoff and walk away. I may be afraid of Jaxon, but Wesley doesn't scare me. And after everything that's happened, I hated Wesley.Complete![✦︎ 𝐄𝐔𝐏𝐇𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐀 ✦︎ [Original VAMPIRE Novel]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/327434829-256-k197486.jpg)
✦︎ 𝐄𝐔𝐏𝐇𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐀 ✦︎ [Original VAMPIRE Novel]
Kia was not supposed to survive being taken by Blood Reapers. Marked for a lethal kingdom beneath the earth, she narrowly escapes one danger... only to stumble into the lair of another: a long-starved vampire whose restraint may be the only thing keeping her alive. He is cold, dangerous, and impossible to read - a creature of secrets, locked doors, and a blood-stained past. Yet the longer Kia remains in his mansion, the harder it becomes to fear him as she should. But the world below does not surrender what it has already claimed. And when the vampire's sadistic brother comes to collect, Kia learns that bloodlust is not the only thing that makes a monster.

When The Heart Sings
I will be your heart, if you will be my shield. In a world where magic supposedly didn't exist, Serena has spent years struggling to conceal her unpredictable singing magic. While wishing for a peaceful life where she can sing without fear, she sees a man in handcuffs being forced into a shady research center. Their eyes meet, and the soulbond is forged. Darien is not from this world, and he's been held captive for years. With the soulbond amplifying his strength, he can fight his way through almost everything, but not every danger can be fought with fists. Their love draws them together even as power-hungry enemies try to pry them apart. They want to control Darien for their own purposes, but he's too strong to be controlled by force. Their love is their greatest strength-and their biggest vulnerability. But magic has its own rules, and no song can go unanswered. Excerpt: I pitied the man, although with so many cops around him, he was quite dangerous. Who needed 30 police officers to supervise one guy who in handcuffs and leg shackles? I watched him walk down the gauntlet between the rows of officers. It was as if I couldn't look away. He paused and looked around. His brilliant glowing blue eyes seemed to meet mine across the vast distance. I couldn't even blink as his eyes seemed to hold mine. The trees of a park broke our locked gaze as the bus kept on driving. I took a deep breath, suddenly realizing that I had stopped breathing the moment our eyes met. I had never seen such blue eyes before-and they glowed! A shiver ran through me. I had been too far away to make out the color of the man's eyes. My eyes watched the trees, hoping for a break in them so I could see the man again. I had no such luck. --- Fade-to-black action fantasy romance Copyright November 2017.

The Journalist, The General, and The Pirate
Decades. He'd wasted decades of his life doing what? Chasing the minuscule sparks of passion to ease the aching void in his chest? Wasn't there something better? Someone to guide him away from the misery? Distract him from the life he couldn't escape from? There were days he didn't know which way was up and where the sea began. Where the skies collided with the dirt and delved into the inferno of the hells. The whispers of creatures that should have had no interest in a mortal caressing the shell of his ears. Beings he believed to be just as mortal as himself and if one observed their flaws they might have been. Walking the city grounds and sailing the oceans as easily as anyone. Blockades of fire and ice prevented their hands from intertwining. Now he balanced atop the wall. Grabbing both with shaky arms and keeping them close. Please don't leave. Fangs and claws used to claim him. Gentle kisses and caresses to calm him. Breathless words pulled him deeper into the madness. Further into inky darkness speckled with blinding light. Granting him everything he never knew he'd wanted. A dream come reality. Strange how love could spark from pain. How fickle. And how much he only wanted more.

Bite Me ✔
《 Highest Ranking: #5 in Vampire 》 "Is that Marcus? Marcus as in, from our High School Marcus!" Casey squeaked. I spun around, not quite believing her, but there he was. He strode through the school like he owned it and my god, he could've. He'd changed over the four years he'd been gone. It was like god himself had carved him from a statue. His cheekbones could cut a finger and a jaw that could slice a hand. He was taller, more muscular. He looked nothing like the boy that went away. He wore a blacket jacket and ripped jeans, his grey eyes studied the school as every female studied him. Suddenly, they slipped past every other person's eyes and landed on mine. No surprise etched his face, it was like he didn't recognise me. Until I saw the corner of his mouth lift up. ~~ Best friends, Diana and Marcus planned to do everything together. They would go to college and live in the same dorm room, they would always be best friends. But, Marcus went away. Without expecting him to return, Diana uses her heartbreak to change her life. She becomes popular in college.. Then one day, he shows up. But he's changed, he's darker, more silent and definitely a lot more hotter. He'd grown taller, his face sharper and he drew eyes from every woman on campus, even the guys. He spoke to no one and didn't even acknowledge her until she spoke to him. But something was very off. Very off, indeed. Cover Design: @newsies- Copyright @tavanalee No Rights Reserved 2018Complete
Ashes of the accursed
This story begins in the shadow of the Dominion, a vast, oppressive empire that has ruled the land for generations through fear, conquest, and the iron grip of its armies. Their citadels stand across the heartlands, their banners darkening the skies, and their soldiers march endlessly into villages that dare resist. Beyond the Dominion's borders lie the Cursed Lands, broken regions scarred by ancient wars of the Fallen Gods. Only Few people survive long in these wastelands, but whispers persist that they hold secrets the Dominion fears. It is here that Dorian's journey begins. A man scarred by loss and carrying the black flame within his veins, he wanders from the Dominion's broken outposts into the forgotten wilds. The black flame is no ordinary gift-it binds and burns, a curse as much as it is a weapon. His body bears tattoos that shift and spread with each growth of essence, marking him as different. Dorian does not yet understand why he has been chosen. He only knows that he is being hunted for it. This is the story of vengeance, where both sides has to burn. Either they will burn each other or they will burn this world to ashes. If you like what i do. Please support me. Link in bio.
Raven Storm
Hiatus !! ( but I promise I am coming back ; see the last two chapters ) 25.07.2026 Some storms come and go. Raven became one. Raven Storm has learned to survive in silence. At home, she hides bruises behind bandages and fear behind a blank stare. At school, she's the outcast-judged, hated, blamed for something she couldn't control. The world turned its back on her. So she did the same. Then came him. The boy who won't stop talking. The one who looks at her like she's worth seeing. The one who says he understands-but never says why. Thrown together for a class project, Raven and Adrien are forced into each other's lives. She just wants to stay invisible. He's hiding something beneath every smile. They were never meant to trust. Never meant to care. Definitely never meant to fall. But fate doesn't ask. And secrets don't stay buried forever. Because Adrien isn't who he says he is. And Raven's father isn't just a monster-he's a target. In a world of lies, violence, and betrayal, the only thing more dangerous than the truth... ...is the way they're starting to feel. Well, I am shit at writing summaries or something like that so I asked my bestie Chat gbt ; so yeah! Enjoy! BTW: I going to be completely honest I reread the first few chapters and they may be a little rough to read in terms of grammar and so on but I promise it gets better in the further chapters. I apologize beforehand.
SOTUS: The Kingdom of the sun and moon (M-Preg)
„Kongpob, who're you really?", Arthit suddenly asked, it was the question that slumbered in his mind ever since he met him. Today he wanted to know about him and about the secret he was hiding from him. Kongpob froze on the spot, couldn't give the latter the answer he wanted to hear. Because the moment he knew about his real identity, would be the moment he would recognize they were having a forbidden love that was too dangerous for him. He fell quiet, clenching his hands into fist, cursing the differences between them, their laws, moreover their undeniable fate. Arthit had enough of his silence, he realized he would lie to him again as soon as he opened his mouth. He looked aside, making a sad expression. Kongpob went to him, touched him softly on the cheek, caressing his thumb over his chubby cheek before placing a sweet kiss on his forehead. Arthit closed his eyes to feel the touch of his lips on his forehead, the touch of his warm hand on his cheek. The kiss soothed him from every pain, it took his insecurities and his fear away. „You need to trust me, I'm not here to harm you, Arthit... Someday, I'll tell you the truth about me... I promise", he said to him before he left him, walking further from him till he finally disappeared from his view. This story contains Mpreg but I won't mention anything about it since it's not the main story... Don't read it if it's not your cup of Tea... But read it if you're interested and you won't regret it ???????? Big thanks to the author Bittersweet for writing Sotus for us fans. Thanks to her I can write a fanfiction using her characters in my storyComplete
