"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.

49 parts Complete Mature
[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.

Fresh blood flows from the wound, turning his hands red. Deep throaty sounds, rumbling in his chest. "You hurt yourself," he says softly, pain evident in his voice. I look up and frown. "It's just a small cut," I reply, annoyed. None of the other cadets get this kind of attention. Besides, we have to learn this to pass the exam. "Shhh, it's going to be okay," he says, pressing me close. My whole side explodes with sparks. It tickles me. "You have to stop hurt yourself. Why are you even here? How am I going to protect you here?" he asks angrily. "I don't need your protection!" I shout, pushing him away. I get an angry growl back.

That's when I discover that I may have gone too far with the insanely possessive highness, even though I'm grateful for the extra lessons he gives me. Then suddenly everyone hurries out of the training area. Leaving me alone with the growling, red eyed alpha. *This book contains graphic depictions of violence, sexuality, strong language, and other mature themes.* English is not my first language.

"Fuck, baby. You can't say things like that to me. I want to, also. Trust me." His hand snakes down my body until he enters two of his fingers into my wet center. I can only moan in response. "However," he kisses my neck possessively, finding the right spot to drive me crazy. "I need to build you up to that." He pushes his fingers in and out of me, hitting deeper and deeper as his strokes become longer and harder and faster. "You feel that? My fingers deep in your pussy that's dripping for me?" He licks the side of my neck as my breaths come out in short pants. "My dick is going to stretch you out so much more. When I finally fuck you, you're going to be sore for days. And you're going to love it." ---------- Thea Brooks, an 18-year-old college student, lives her life by a schedule.

Til Death Do Us Part  by BlackSpade661
14 parts Ongoing Mature
Once upon a time darkness was feared and light was a blessing. As darkness was black, black became evil and was feared in return. As light was white, white became virtue and was worshipped in return. Monster they called her they shouted and yell but there was no knight in shining armor or so she thought. She was outcasted, feared, and unwanted for simply being who she was. I was born in darkness but I learned fast the darkness doesn't always equal evil just like light doesn't always bring good. My back was to the wall while he kept his hand right around my throat. "Relax my dear if I wanted you dead you'd be dead already." He threw me on the ground but I wasn't planning on staying there for long I managed to sit up when I see Thomas. " No don't you dare play hero!" He came in running straight for me when he grabs him slamming him to the wall keeping him bound. " I knew you'd come first you're the fastest compared to your brother. No matter you can watch the show once your brother gets here." I realized what he meant...no. No! I started crawling away holding my side when he steps on my leg. "Please...no". He looked at me smiling ear to ear before grabbing me by my hair. I held my tongue I can't cry I can't scream. That's when I hear the sound of a door swinging open. "Enzo...Get your filthy hand of my mate!" His voice roared throughout the room. "Finally the main event can begin"! I looked around the room and my eyes stopped at both of them and I knew that I wasn't going to make it out alive... **Pause** "No, please, please!" I heard them beg but I knew it was out of their control. "I- I'm not afraid to die, I'm only afraid that I'll never see you again" I whimpered quietly, almost whispering. "I love you" was all I was able to say as I felt my life slowly slip away...

"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.

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.
