"Sir Vangeance, is it that you mean when you're not usually in this area is because you're not with the likes of us?" She asks, she has a hand on her hip almost as if challenging him.
William's eyes widened slightly. He's never been this speechless before. He's been willingly quiet on things, but never this. He doesn't know what she means, but suddenly it all makes sense.
"If my men have said anything to you, I will apologize for their misconduct. Miss Dubois, I do not wish to fall from your good grace."
Aveline shakes her head, some tendrils falling loose from her simple updo. "It's not what they said, it's about how they looked."
Against all odds, the beginning of a budding romance throws a noble captain and shopkeeper asunder.

✦︎ 𝐄𝐔𝐏𝐇𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐀 ✦︎ [Original VAMPIRE Novel]
Being abducted by two handsome strangers in the dead of night did not turn out quite like Kia had hoped. Narrowly escaping their nefarious schemes, she runs directly into the perhaps biggest danger of them all: the lair of a long-starved vampire. Once the enigmatic Seth has had a taste of Kia's blood, he has no intentions of letting her go - and once Kia has had a taste of his lips, she is not sure she even wants to. Too bad the vampire's sadistic brother has other plans for both of them. 𝐄𝐔𝐏𝐇𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐀 is a dark and alluring tale of yearning for the forbidden and dangerous, of secrets and betrayal, of love and survival in a society of monsters where someone's blood means either their damnation or salvation - and the feud between two brothers might destroy everything, least of all a fragile human heart. [Maturity Warning: Will contain mature themes such as graphic sex, swearing, violence, allusions to self-harm, and blood slavery. For readers aged 17+]
William Vangeance's little brother

Unwanted Wedlock
''Let me help you, ma'am,'' a man who was probably the flight attendant said. Damn. Ryerson Reeds even had handsome flight attendants. The man stooped a bit, leaning close to her and taking the seatbelt from her hands. He was holding eye contact and Lyla felt herself grow amused as she stared back at him. He was going to start buckling her up before someone cleared their throat loudly. They both looked up to meet Reeds' blue-green eyes. ''I think I can help my wife, thank you,'' he said. Lyla's eyebrows shot up. The dude barely talked to her and he was already getting possessive? How does that even add up? Reeds stopped taking the two parts of the seat belt in his hands, ''you couldn't do this without help?'' he muttered to her savagely. Lyla glared at him, before he could even get the belt close to her she took it from his hands and snapped it in the right place. She gave him a sickly sweet smile and Reeds simply scoffed and walked to his seat. The rest of the plane ride was quiet. One would think after that small exchange they would start having some kind of conversation. Wrong. ___________________ This isn't a cliche story where the girl falls for the guy by a simply little gaze. She's stubborn, she's maybe a little relatable, and she's assertive. But she didn't think she was for him. Lyla Vell; the name itself oozed the confidence which was her, and Ryersoon Reeds? Two words to describe him: Arrogant and plain painful. And when these two personalities are in an arranged marriage. Shit about to go down. ___ This is my first Wattpad story. Hope you'll like it! This entire story is NOT mature. Only the last few chapters are and you can still finish the plot without reading those few mature chapters. For those who are hesitant to read the story because it is tagged mature, I'm promising you only the last few chapters are mature, you can read chapters 1-19 without any disturbance of smut. That was for those who're hesitant. Love you. DON'T COPY MY WORK!Complete
Wife of Vladimir ||Book One||
"I ignored the anger I had felt all night and morning. I had always wanted to marry for love, and this didn't feel like it. My lifelong plan had come to an end, and it wasn't because I succeeded. Father had forced my hand because he was worried about me being alone. I could handle it when the time would come, but it wasn't anytime soon. I didn't understand his concern then as I do now. I heard the doors above the stairs creak upon and the shuffle of skirts following. I forced myself to keep my eyes upon the window as my heart started to race from nerves. This was it. This was the moment that would change my life for better or for worse. I thought of my father and how upset with him I was. This wasn't the life I wanted. 'Sire.' Franklin whispered, already facing the direction of the stairs. 'Your bride is here.' I held my breath. Despite my hatred for Invea and this plan my father had come up with, she didn't deserve to be the brunt of my anger. I needed to be civil. I represented Transylvania. I kept my eyes upon the floor as I turned, unsure if I was willing to face the truth just yet. I didn't feel ready. 'Don't be rude. She's watching you.' Franklin whispered into my ear before stepping away, letting me have the moment on my own. With hesitation coursing through my veins, I began to raise my eyes to look upon her; upon my future wife. Heat rushed to my cheeks as I finally saw her. My heart stopped, and I momentarily forgot how to breathe once I saw her smiling down at me. For the first time, and hardly the last time, in my life, I was left utterly speechless." ~~~ The beautiful cover was made by dysanic. ❤️ Want more content?

Unmasked & Unraveled
The man above you released a chuckle. It was a rotten sound, decayed and bitter. Brutal. Sinister. "You know," He began, tone sharp. "She may fight-and it is so pretty when she fights...But, at the end of the day, she loves the things we do to her." Your stomach churned, a resounding chorus of identical laughter from more men behind you. Your boyfriend glared at the reflections of himself, sizing them up. But, no, you couldn't let him do this. "Just go, Mark. You can't take all of them," You whispered, tears pricking the corners of your eyes. Sinister's hand tightened at your roots, jerking your face to level with his. You yelped, squirming as he gripped your cheeks with his other hand. He kept you facing your broken boyfriend, locked in on his tortured gaze. Sinister released a low chuckle, squeezing your face before purring, low and cruelly, "But you know who can?" ☾ ⋆*･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ☾ ⋆*･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ☾ ⋆*･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ☾ ⋆*･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ☾ ⋆*･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ PART THREE of The Mask Chronicles © elainewonderswriting - no reposts, translation, plagiarism or ai feeding.Complete

Omnipotence
"Oh bite me, you sociopath." She seethed. "Do you honestly think you are all that and a bag of chips!?" She leaned on her left leg and placed her hand on her hip. In this dim lighting her dark eyes seem even darker, almost black. I cannot see much but her silhouette stands out, I do not understand why is it that I notice this. "Do you not think that you are being absurd?" As the words left my mouth I knew it was a mistake. I heard her huff and stand straight, she stepped closer. I can see her better now, low light highlighted her plump lips, her noticeable jaw and cheek bone. Her long lashes that drew the attention to her big brown eye. For a moment she did not speak but sighed, as if she had given up. "There is no cure for a fool." And with that she left the room, leaving me completely awestruck.

Always, Lily
~complete~ Lilith Ashford was a name you'd easily hear in the hospital hallways but you wouldn't spot her easily until you were keen enough. She was usually in the spotlight yet not clearly seen. No one concentrated enough on her until a new medic is hired and he begins showing up everywhere she is. They say that he's cold and aloof, always minding his business and rarely interacting with the other staff but why does he keep trying to help everytime Lilith finds herself in a fix? ✪ ✪ ✪ "My eyes," for a moment, my hands stopped shaking and my attention instantly shifted to him. "Look into them when you get too overwhelmed," He uttered softly as he held the tiny palm of my hand against his. I followed the pattern of his breathing, firmly grasping onto his hand and the edge of his white coat as the lift went up to the fortieth floor. Not once did my eyes deter from his.Complete
