There was once a man who decided to escape the trivialities of his life and start anew in a nice cottage located in a remote area. 

But, before long, the man found himself attempting to escape something that was far worse than those trivialities. He was being haunted by shadows, both physically and mentally, that were out to get him and he began to do everything in his power to get the haunting to end. 

This is the journal of that man.

It was on the 500th century of hell that I saw my salvation. He had walked in with a devilish smirk and sharp features. He had walked into my hell...My only goal was to get him out...To make sure he got out safely. The only caveat is, I made him hate me. The things I did to survive are things he can never forgive. And now I am forced to partner with him to ensure the survival of his kingdom and mine. - As the Regent of House Dae within the faerie realm, Adalind made a choice three years ago. That choice kept the people she loved safe and caused her the affection of her mate. She could live with that choice. It's not until her kingdom and her mate's kingdom are forced into a partnership that she has to face painful realties. Perhaps she truly was too broken to be fixed. Perhaps no one could love her and her scars. He has been given many names. The Lord of Shadows. The Shadowbringer. The Broken. All appropriate for the Beta that wields the shadows. After watching his mate murder a child and attack his lands, Goliath has grown cold and closed off to everyone around him, even his dearest friends. He's thrown himself into dangerous missions to forget the face of his true mate. He leaves his kingdom often to forget the face of the most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes on. But he cannot forgive her. He is resolved to live a mateless life. He is resolved to let go of his fae Queen. But his duty calls to work with her kingdom. The safety of his people requires it. He grows to realize that maybe all is not quite what it seem and maybe the person we have to become to survive is not the same as the person we truly are. - They call him Goliath. They call him The Lord of Shadows. They call him The Broken. They call me Adalyndra. They call me The Dragondaughter. They call me the Mother of the Sun. BOOK II OF THE TOUCH OF DEMISE SERIES
Shadows of the Past by wickedempire
22 parts Complete Mature
"Shadows of the Past" follows the harrowing journey of Ethan Blackwood, a man battling the demons of his past while struggling to navigate an uncertain present. Set against the backdrop of small-town life and haunted by broken relationships, lost family, and personal failures, Ethan's story is one of survival, resilience, and the fight to rebuild after everything has fallen apart. This is book one. Trigger Warnings: This book contains themes and depictions of trauma, childhood abuse, substance abuse, loss of a parent, toxic relationships, manipulation, emotional and psychological distress, and mental health struggles. Reader discretion is advised. "Shadows of the Past" is a deeply personal project for me. Though this work is fictional, many of the events, emotions, and experiences portrayed are drawn closely from my own life. Writing this book has been both a cathartic and challenging process, allowing me to explore and process difficult chapters of my past. While some characters and events are products of fiction, others are reflections of real-life experiences that I have faced. In the same way, the protagonist's journey is a mixture of truth and imagination, offering both insight into the real struggles of those facing emotional battles and the power of storytelling to find meaning in pain. For the sake of privacy, all names have been changed, and any resemblance to real people is purely coincidental. The first book in this story is now complete, and as you read it, I hope it resonates with anyone who has faced their own shadows and is seeking a way through. Thank you for joining me on this journey. - Chris D.

Chained A Fated Mate Romance

1 part Complete Mature

This is a fated mate romance between a reluctant fiery woman and an alpha male who is more then used to getting his way. Their bloodlines make them special, either miracles or abominations depending on who you ask. Being fated means they have a biological need for one another that comes more naturally then the touchy feely side of things. Add that to an Overlord who's out for one thing and a world they can't really trust and I would say it has a way of keeping ones interest. Angels, Vampires, Nephilim, Witches, Gryphons and even Fate. This Series will have a bit of everything and is told from two perspectives. ~E~ Fate is a grade-A royal jerk. I'm too young for this... Mates are supposed to be a rarity dangit. No this isn't happening. I won't let it happen. I'm supposed to be free, the only one not born to serve. One seductive brooding man isn't about to change that... right? Right. Now I just need to get him to stop undressing me with his eyes. ~C~ He called her a gift, trying to claim credit for what Fate has provided me. She's hardheaded, brazen, and has a constant need to disobey me, but the burning desire I have for her veils it all. She thinks she has a choice; thinks the fever can be denied. Stubborn little minx, soon enough, she'll be begging to be mine.
