Look after my little sister. 
That's been my life's purpose up until now, but now with a sister who has married the King, physical injuries I'm still healing from, and mental ones that run far deeper, I'm completely lost.
I've spent my life as a hunter & an assassin with my sister, but unlike her, I remember and regret every person I've killed.
As a boy, all I ever dreamt of was earning a job as a guard and becoming a father. Now they both look far out of my reach. Everything seems so dark.

Except her.

Lynna. Famed for her beauty, then world-renowned for her intelligence, she has thousands of men holding out for a chance with her. She refused to marry even the King. I'm not foolish enough to think I'd be good enough too... am I? Staying away from her seems like the sensible option, but when the King assigns me as her bodyguard for the week, I'm left with no choice.

--------

Like all the other noble-born women, I spent the early part of my life in finishing school, being trained for one purpose; marrying the King. Ironically, it was him that helped me out of it, and set me up with the career that has led me to becoming one of the greatest healers of all time.

My job, my titles, my fame, my appearance; often they feel like curses rather than blessings, and I doubt I'll find anyone who wants me for the girl beneath it all. Sometimes even I lose sight of her too.

It's been so long that I've felt genuine emotions, one's that aren't just orchestrated for the newspapers or the crowds outside my house, but Onyx makes me feel... different. He looks at me with those yellow eyes and I feel like he sees into my soul.

But he is a tattooed assassin, with a less-than-friendly temperament and no direction in life. To my famous parents, I am the ultimate bargaining chip; the most desired woman on earth. I'm not foolish enough to ignore the power and influence they have over the world. If they don't want me to be with Onyx, they'll find a way to remove him from my life.Todos los derechos reservados

Blind Instincts de _Serza

*COMPLETED* My head bowed in a heavy mannor, not in respect, but in trepidation. I discern his unwavering gaze over my ill silhouette. "Look at me." I opened my eyes, though it made no difference. Black is still black, all I am left with are my four senses. He will kill me if I don't look. He will kill me if I do. He will look into my sightless eyes and see my futile existence isn't worth living. He will kill me, and he will be doing the pack a justice by it. He growls a low, throaty snarl to warn me about disobeying an alpha. There will be consequences, we both know that. His lingering growls let me know he is not going to allow me to contravene his word. I steadily inch my head upwards, visibly shaking everywhere else. Maybe he won't notice my depthless eyes from across the gazebo. My life depends on it. "You're blind." ~ Monet was born into a particularly prestigious area of her wolf pack, to parents of extremely high standards. Her legacy is to become the packs next healer, but when she was born completely devoid of melanin, all her mated parents saw was a disappointment. Being born an albino wolf pup meant a lot for Monet, but it mostly meant her condition had taken her eyesight along with it. What happens when Monet meets the Alpha of a neighboring pack? Will he accept her for what she is? ~CONTENT WARNING~ This book contains depictions of physical abuse, foul language, and upsetting scenary.

Heart of Fury - Stone and Fire # 2 [17+] de foreverbooked81

College? No, this was paradise. Three years filled with partying, not so secret underground drug-deals, and hot-headed men sliding into beds like snakes with no self-control. Things were different now. I wasn't that perfect, frill-wearing angel Mama thought would walk into the house ring-beared. So many things had changed, except for one. Him. He was a disease, one I couldn't get rid of no matter how hard I tried. Everytime he's near, I feel myself turn into something I've never seen before. Like there's something under my skin only he is capable of bringing out. He's manipulative, twisted, and completely wrong in every way. I hate him. Yet every night, from miles away, I find him in my dreams. Mikhail Volkov Fuck the patriarchy. Better yet, fuck everything and everyone. It was a game of cat and mouse, me chasing victories every single day. The Bratva's constant want for war was what kept the fuel in my blood, burning up into flames whenever my knuckles made contact with another opponent. In the end, I'm always the one left standing. This fire in my bones, I feel it burst into flames while every dark memory, thought and desire runs into my fists. So many medals, but only the people around me could see them. The real battle was against my head. And maybe, just maybe, I was afraid to admit that I had no chance in winning it. She makes it harder. An angel with wings to everyone else, yet a master at unveiling those devil's horns only when I'm near. There's this darkness, this fire, in the both of us. The only difference is, she's better at hiding it. She was gone, far away, yet there was this tether dowsed in fuel connecting us, one that only lit up when she came back. Every time she's near, I feel the limits surrounding my wrath being tested. Then again, rules are only made to be broken, right? Mafia Dark Romance *Standalone*

9 Years Later de CYDream1

They met for the right reasons but at the wrong time. She was just about to graduate from college, and he was already a successful CEO/Businessman who is ten years her senior. A city love like no other. Enter the world of Alecx and Tristan, brought together by fate, only to be separated by unexpected circumstances. Will there be a second chance for them when they meet again 9 years later? A story about chasing dreams, friendship and love.... "A love story that will make you swoon. Definitely a fun, entertaining and feel-good read. " - A Reader's Comment Excerpts: 1) I saw her hug one of the guys in that department and kissed him on the cheek. I don't really deal a lot with our employees. I am mostly either inside my office or in the boardroom conducting meetings, so I do not even know who this guy she is smitten with. Just seeing her do that caused a twinge of jealousy inside me. I barely know this girl and yet, she is making me feel something I have not felt before. 2) I gave him a dagger look and tried to get away from his hold, but he did not let me. Instead, he put both his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him. Our faces are just inches away from each other. He was looking at me intently. My heart is beating so fast. I feel like I am going to melt from his gaze. "I am just messing with you. I am sorry. Forget about what I said. Just dance with me. For old time's sake." He smiled at me. I continued to look him straight in the eyes. "Why did I ever leave this amazing man in front of me?" I asked myself regretfully. I set aside all my inhibitions and placed both my arms around his neck. Even just for tonight, I will enjoy this moment. I rested my head on his shoulder and nuzzled my face on his neck. I hope we can stay like this forever.

Tell Me It's Forever de peanuttttxo

"Hey," I get her attention as I sit closer to her. "We're doing everything we can to find this mob okay? You'll be out of this situation in no time." "And what if something bad happens," she looks at me wide eyed with those beautiful eyes of hers. Can never forget the colour. Hazel with little bits of green inside them. "Nothing bad will happen." "But something bad always happens to me. I have such a bad feeling about all this and my gut never lies to me," her voice cracks at the end. "It's life and death. Nothing ever good comes out of that." A lone tear slides down her cheek and she shuts both her eyes tightly, her palms squeezing the fuck out of her thighs. I quickly grab one of them so she can stop hurting herself and put pressure on my palm instead. "I need you to stop crying and go rest now. I think that would be best for you." "But..." "No buts. I know you're a strong independent woman that really needs to solve this and find out what's going on but stop okay? I'll take care of it." "Pinky swear?" She sniffs as she holds out her little finger and I find myself smiling at her. "Of course." I wrap my finger with hers. What happened next really surprised me. *** Liya Abrechtt, a popular girl at college, starting her career, straight A student, everyone loves her, her life is practically normal. Until it isn't.

Ophelia de Grace63662

"I'd jump after you into the pit of fire if I had to, Ophelia. Don't question that, and don't you ever ask me not to." ________________ Lilia thought she knew loneliness. She thought she understood grief. Haunted by a painful past, she kept running-from city to city, never looking back. All she wanted was a place where no one knew her. Then Dominic Brooks walked into her life. Chaotic, intense, and impossible to ignore, he and his makeshift family threatened to shatter every wall she'd built. But what unsettles her most isn't Dominic's presence-it's the way he looks at her, like he already knows her. The way he calls her Ophelia, as if it means something. And the way, despite everything, he feels like home. _______________ "Ophelia." "Ophelia, please." Isn't it funny? How this nickname works so perfectly. The world pushed Ophelia to the edge of her sanity, throwing her into the inevitability of a tragic ending. Here I am, facing the same fate. But no writer will engrave my name in history. No painting will be named after me. I'm just another insignificant part of the big book of life. Just another iteration of Ophelia.

The Queen: Love's Death || ✔️ de african_butterfly

I had fallen head over heels in love with Hera King. I couldn't sleep without her by my side so I hadn't had much sleep in days. I couldn't breath without seeing her smile. When she said yes to marrying me, I couldn't control my pounding heart and felt even more proud to be marrying such a perfect woman when she stood up for my love to her entire family. She proved to me that she was willing to love me and let me love her back. I didn't know if she loved me back but I knew that I loved her. Hera couldn't die. We still had to spend our forever together. She still had so much to know about me as much as I had to know about her. Hell, I still had to tell her that I binge-watched a lot of TV and Netflixed almost every weekend as a hobby. She had to know that my favourite movie was 'Pitch Perfect' and that my favourite show was 'Two and a half Men'. She had to know that I had never travelled outside of the country, even though I was one of the biggest businessmen in the world. She had to know that I had always had a dream for cooking and I tried to bake a cake once and I ended up burning the entire kitchen down. She had to know that my family was using her family to get into the Mafia and that I couldn't go on with the plan because I had fallen in love with her. She was my soulmate. My true love. The only person who I saw myself with in a few years. Not with her in this hospital bed but with her hand in mine as we travelled the world and made a child in each country. Hera was a sexy woman. A true beauty indeed. She was definitely well-figured and inherited a lot of enticing features which I just had to explore. Kissing her was only the beginning. The things I wanted to do to her behind closed doors were illegal in a lot of countries. The amount of skin I wanted to mark as mine and the amount of passion I wanted to pump into her innocent flower was unimaginable. She aroused me even from blinking.

Loving Mr. Cavalier de taty_ABM

When Liliana signed up to become a private flight attendant, she believed she had a general idea of what the job entailed. Strictly professional. What she didn't expect was for the mysterious, strict, straightforward Mr. Cavalier to take an interest in her outspoken yet naïve nature. With a stubborn billionaire refusing to take 'No' for an answer, Liliana finds herself on a ride of a lifetime, filled with heated close encounters, daring conversations, not to mention a dash of drama. Will Liliana be able to withstand Mr. Cavalier's lusty and endless pursuit? Or will the outspoken hostess reject the hot billionaire once and for all? __________________________________ He didn't speak. He never spoke. I knew that he was able to speak, but whenever I was around it seemed that I was the only one speaking. He didn't seem to enjoy my presence, but then again that wouldn't be true given that he requested for me to host, on my day off. His eyes were not friendly, his jaw and lips that never smiled told me to always be on guard. I could always feel his eyes on me, and I know its him, or else my heart wouldn't be acting the way it was. ... And yet, here I am, patting down the wrinkles on my skirt, as his car approached the Jet. I was rather angry. It was my day off. I wasn't even on call. I told Jenna that I wouldn't come in today and that he'd have to find someone else. Apparently this man didn't take "No" for an answer. He had his personal body guard arrive at my door, and I wouldn't be too surprised as to how he got my address. The scary man was ready to drag me from my house, I was driven to his private Aircraft and now I had to play hostess. When he stepped out of the car, his eyes looked up to me. Had he smiled or even acknowledged my presence, maybe I would be free to assume that he was happy to see me.
