"And what if I can?" The raven-haired boy argued. "Just give me a chance! You keep running away, what will it take for you to stay?
----------------------------------
Jordan Royal, an outcast prince betrayed by his father and cast out of his kingdom, finds himself on the doorstep of his kingdom's enemy. Once the perfect heir-intelligent, brave, and adored-Jordan was raised to be feared and worshipped. However, the one factor his father failed to account for was the compassion he had for others. He wasn't a prince who thrived on the suffering of others' he was a boy who had suffered deep, abandoned by the very blood he believed once would protect him. Betrayed by his own flesh and blood, he learned early on that nobility didn't guarantee freedom, nor did power promise safety. Now, left to fend for himself, Jordan carries the scars that the world was never meant to see. When he ends up on the doorstep of Kai Stone's house, he doesn't expect much. But, what he receives is the chance to make his own choices. Kai is everything he was taught to hate-the freedom, the care-free attitude, the fire. Jordan finally learns what is truly feels like to live.
Kai Stone, the son of a powerful mafia leader bent on opposing the king's tyrannical ambitions, was deep into planning a secret entry into the palace when a sudden commotion outside caught his attention. That's when he found him-Jordan Royal, the son of his worst enemy, lying on his doorstep. Kai had always despised royalty. He loathed their arrogance, their smug smiles after destroying the lives of innocent people. To him, they were the embodiment of everything corrupt in the world. Yet, the more time he spend with the prince, he couldn't help but question his beliefs. No matter what he said about royalty, Kai couldn't seem to hate him

Transcendent Thirst
"What I was going to say was selfish..." He mumbled. I edge closer to him until my hand slowly cradled his cheek. Tilting his head up to look at me. "Please let me know what it was." I beg him pathetically. He begins to chew his lip and that's when I knew he was nervous. Nervous about what? I'm not exactly sure. "With everything I said...I was going to say at the same time...never...leave me." He confessed painfully almost. That's when I lost all sense of control and pressed my lips onto his. Kissing him with all my strength and all the built up desire that's accumulated. I continued to kiss him until at some point my tongue made it's way into his mouth. Tasting a sweet flavor that I've never encountered. As I got deeper in the kissing I feel myself fly back into a tree. Slammed against it that I felt myself lose my breath. Trying to catch it, I look up at Achille. His eyes were now a crimson red that intrigued me. He shook his head and suddenly he was gone in a blur. Confused, I stood as I had to pop my back from the hard hit into the tree. Looking in the direction Achille ran off, I knew I couldn't see him because it'd be a blur. Always thought it was fascinating how when he runs you can't see it. Being a vampire must be...fascinating. Yet he makes it out to be hell. I can't understand that kind of complicity of being a vampire and the issues. I get it, they drink blood. Though there's multiple things beside humans that offer blood! He acts like it's so horrific. I would love to know what it felt like for a day. Just one day...Complete

The Prince's Keeper
Est thought he was stepping into the palace for a simple bodyguard position - another elite soldier ready to stand watch over a prince. But the instant Prince William's gaze found him, everything changed. Behind closed doors and flickering firelight, William made him an offer unlike any other: not just a role as his most trusted protector, but a place at his side as his secret consort, bound by a loyalty deeper than duty and a passion they'd never speak aloud in public. " I want your loyalty, your devotion... and your body. Be mine - completely - and I'll give you everything." "You'll have my trust," William had said, voice low and deliberate as he drew Est close. "My secrets. All of me, if you want it. But in return - you'll be mine. In every way, until death do us apart." Drawn into a world of whispered promises and dangerous intimacy, Est must navigate the hunger that burns between them as fiercely as the intrigue surrounding the throne. Within this dangerous, intoxicating intimacy, Est discovers that protecting this prince means more than bearing arms. It means answering every secret look and hushed invitation, melting into a bond deeper and darker than either of them dared imagine.

The Secrets of The Reverence Pack
"You're bruised," the boy came up to him slowly. His calculated demeanor melted as he walked and for once, Jett saw the eighteen-year-old behind the princely mask he always hid behind. "It'll heal," he assured him. "You look a bit beat yourself." "I took it too far," he gently held his arm where the bruise was. Every touch left a tingling sensation. "I'm sorry. My father. He..." he trailed off. The brown eyes that Jett had quickly fallen for wandered off into the distance. Jett wished he could read them better. "What's the matter with your father?"
