"Time is a thief," I told him, my eyes filling with tears as the walls I tried so desperately to build, to hold together, came crumbling down in a million pieces. "Time is a thief, and it has stolen everything from me. I cannot stand it anymore."

His hands shot out, so gently, grabbing my face like I was as delicate as a blossoming flower in the middle of spring. "Time is a prison for me. It has trapped me in a cell made of bars that are stronger than me. It has forced me to watch those I love and care about fade away into dust."

Tears poured down my face as I looked up at him and into his steel-colored eyes which almost seemed to glow as he stared deeply into mine. I have never felt welcome. Never felt I belonged anywhere but, for the first time, it felt as if, in his hands, this was where I was meant to be.

"Time will not steal me away from you," he said gently, quietly, his voice almost trembling. 

And then his lips came down slowly upon mine, a kiss laced with more emotion that could possibly be expressed into words and, for once, I no longer felt alone.


UPDATED VERSION: I changed the original story A LOT and will only be writing this version. The previous version will be deleted.

COMING SOON SNEEAK PEAK. ESME "Darling," a voice purred while my mouth parted in awe. His hands glided against my skin making every where they touch burn with desire. My hands rushed to myself but a hand immediately grabbed it. His voice groaned disagreement while he pinned my hands above my head. "Love, patience is key," his velvety voice muttered into my ear. "But-" I began but immediately was interrupted by his hands making their way between my thighs. His finger grazes against my soaked underwear, teasing me while his blood-red eyes stared down at my withered expression. My mouth opened to beg him to touch, to pleasure me, to take me. "Lu-" just as am about to say the name the a man who's been taunting me, my eyes cast wide against my will as the sound of my alarm clock awakens me. No! I was so close to finding out his name! Night after night I keep having dreams about him yet I don't even know his name! Just that his eyes are red which can indicate that he's a creature, particularly a vampire. But witches and vampires rarely get romantically involved with each other. I sigh before hitting my head against my bed while staring frustratingly at the ceiling. My hands raised towards the birthmark on my neck, touching it just enough for me to get a small sensation. Who is he? And why do I always dream about him? _________ LUCIAN Lucian's mark burned making his eyebrows furrowed at the sudden sensation. "Sir?" his butler called as he turned his gaze over to him. It can't be. He dawned rubbing his skin at ease. He hadn't felt this sensation since 14 years ago. His beloved. His mate, he can sense her now. His mouth widens forming into a beautiful smile that shocked his butler. He hadn't seen his master smile in centuries. Not since- Which would only mean one thing. The queen is back. The woman who had shown their king how to love and care for others has returned. Queen Esmemina is back.

"The fuck you are leaving me." He snapped and growled at his mate. She was calm as she was ever be regardless of his snapping. She sighed and turned around to leave without saying something to him because it was worthless. There was no point in talking and especially to him. He grabbed her arm before she put one step. "Where do you think you are going Ara?" He growled so loudly as everyone shuddered watching their interaction. She quickly remove his hand as anger rolling off of her in waves. "Don't. Touch. Me. So you think I will live here and watch you mate and breed that female." She snapped at him. "She meant nothing Ara." He said after a minute. She laughed, literally laughed but without any humor. "That's why you were fucking her in your office just a minutes before, don't you?" "It was a mistake." He tried to reason with her. "But in your case mistakes happened in more than one time. And they said mistakes happened only one time." She said sarcastically. "I don't need her. I need you." He said again desperately. "Lies. All lies coming from your mouth. I feel disgusted just by looking at you, let alone talking to you. And you said you need me? Ha. Very funny. You don't need me and I sure as hell don't need you. This female behind your back is more enough than me. Breed her, mark her or fuck her. I DON'T FUCKING CARE." "I am sorry. I am really fucking sorry." He said brokenly as kneeling on the ground. A small laugh escaped from her lips. "Isn't it too late for that mate?" And she left just like that while single tear rolled down her cheeks. He had made mistakes. Mistakes that will cost him everything. He knew he had lost her and this time completely. She was broken. Again. He did break her, repair her just to break her again leaving a broken shattered woman but strong willed. ---------------------------------------------------- The cruel, sadistic Rogue Alpha and his caring, lovable Witch mate. Will it be too late for him to say sorry?

[COMPLETED] ೋღ🌹ღೋ He stands roughly a few feet away from me, his body towering over my crouched one. I bring my legs up to my chest, pushing myself further into the wall as he kneels down towards me. He brings his nose to the crook of my neck, my face grimacing as I await for the pain. He breathes in, "hmmm, you smell so delicious." He coos, his breath fanning my neck, causing me to shiver In disgust. If only my brothers were here... "Wheres a delicacy like you been hiding this whole time?" His use of words has me on edge. His implementations imply that he's some sort of cannibal and judging from what he did to that other man I fear I may be right. I refuse to answer him, spitting in his face. My face bounces of the wall, the sting of his slap left behind on my cheek. I shake the pain away, placing a facade up to hide the fear within. You fucking bastard! I narrow my eyes at him, taking note of his features in case I miraculously survive this encounter. His hair is a dark auburn and his eyes that watch me with amusement are a dark blue. His attire was a black suit which seemed out of place considering he was standing in an alleyway. If I manage to escape I want to be confident that'd I'd be able to have this bastard put behind bars. Again if... His eyes shift, my eyes widening as his eyes turn from a dark blue to a pool of black, red veins trailing along from his pupil to the edge of his eyes. His voice is dark as he commands, "Show me that pretty little neck of yours." ೋღ🌹ღೋ ⚠️ Warning!!! This book is extremely dark and has depictions of Mature language, violence, sexual activity, sexual and physical abuse, including rape. Rape is a serious crime often overlooked where the victim is made to believe it is their fault. I do not condone rape however, it's a reality. Please only read if your 18+ and with caution. This book will be updated weekly. Possibly sometime more or less depending on how busy I am.

I finally escaped the factory, they kidnapped me from my college. Today is my birthday, and I had planned for it but nothing helped, only calming me down for the moment. A scream echoed out in the silent starry sky, my body freezing... They were looking for me, I just knew it. Again, I ran and jumping over the fence to the property, muscles burning, my breathing short. I look behind me, not seeing the light of the school anymore. I slow down, holding my breath again. Looking around, only trees and bugs surround me. I slowly sank to my knees, gripping the grass in between my fingers, to keep my breathing calm. Tears springing to my eyes and brushing the tears away, slowly getting back to normal. Suddenly, I felt someone behind me. I could feel its strength and power surround me, turning around to see a dark figure behind me. Glowing blue eyes stared at me, seeing it slowly walk toward me. My breathing becoming short again, a panic attack was on the verge. A hand was now on my shoulder and another on my cold cheek, making me look into his eyes, "Let me help you..." He whispered. Rubbing his thumb against my cheek, I slowly nod my head, when a pain began to form in my chest. I knew it was coming. I quickly get away, crawling a couple feet away. "Get away!" I yelled. My skin turning white and the pain erupting inside of me, feeling it try to escape, and I know if I let it. It will hurt this man. Suddenly, he was there in my view. Blue eyes staring at me, and then his lips were on my own. Gasping as I felt the pain beginning to disappear from inside me. Eyes drooping and my body relaxing against his. Soon, the kiss ended and I was empty. My eyes closing. "Don't worry, I will keep you safe..."

#1 werewolf #1 teenfiction "That night meant nothing to me Olivia." "You were just like another girl to me." He smirked, "and you KNOW how I do girls. I lure them," he took a crumpled paper in his hands and softly straightened it, "I fuck them. HARD." He tore the paper off in pieces, "and then, I throw them out of my life," he concluded, crushing the paper into a ball and throwing it with a perfect shot in the bin. I looked up at him in shock, anger and heartbreak. "You actually thought I got jealous!" He scoffed. Out of nowhere he threw me against the wall and I gasped as his arm pressed by my sides and he trapped me. "ALSO, DON'T YOU DARE CALL ME YOUR MATE AGAIN!" he growled, I breathed heavily as fear started crawling in. Tears flowed down my face. I struggled to breathe. "I NEVER wanted a mate. Especially not like you." He gave me a glare as if the mere sight of me disgusted him. "Who would want a mate like you anyways, huh? You're ugly, nerdy, clingy, way-too-innocent and being with you will DESTROY my social reputation." Listening to those words shattered my Wolf and she howled in pain. I gasped, trying to get some air but he pressed me against the wall harder. "Look at you," he chuckled, "So pathetic. You're not even able to defend yourself. Moon goddess made a mistake mating you with me. I will correct it ." "I won't reject you," he said, "oh no no. Rejection is easy. I will TORTURE you. I will sleep with other girls, I will flirt with them in front of your eyes and I will watch you and your wolf die everyday. I will break you to the limit where you won't ever be able to come back. And then, I will leave you to rot." "One last thing. Don't you DARE tell anyone that we are mates. Are we clear?" I nodded frantically, my heart clenching till where it was unbearable. He let out a dark chuckle and released me,"Good girl." I collapsed on the floor and almost passed out from the lack of air in my lungs. He just walked away & left me there to rot.

"Rejecting you was a mistake!" Aston pleaded "I don't give a rats ass anymore Aston! You had your chance and you fucked up." I proclaimed Aston's face fell as realty set in. He rejected me and I don't give a damn, life's a bitch that will slap you at any moment in time. "What can I do to get you back?" Aston asked, determination glinting in his eyes. I stood up straighter, shoulders back and my head held high. "Nothing" I stated "nothing at all." Aston took a step towards me, his minty scent invading my senses. Aston lifted his hand, gliding his pointer finger down my cheek and across my jaw. "I will have you" He whispered, "you will be mine." My dream like state was crushed and I finally got control of my senses. "Never" I snapped ripping his hand from my cheek "not even in your dreams pretty boy." "So you think i'm pretty?" Aston chuckled "Fuck you!" I spat I slapped Aston across the face. Turning on my heel, I walked away from the man that stole my heart, crushed it, than walked away all in one day.
