"Why?" Morelle managed to whisper, her voice trembling with a mixture of sadness and longing. She desperately sought an explanation, a glimmer of understanding, amidst the chaos that had consumed their relationship.

Roxanne's smile turned bitter, a flicker of remorse momentarily crossing her features. "Because," she replied, her voice laced with both regret and venom. "Although I hate you now, I once loved you dearly, and I will always cherish those memories." Her words hung heavy in the air, a painful reminder of what they had lost.

Morelle's heart broke, shattered fragments of their past love scattered across the battlefield of their present animosity. The sorrow engulfed her, threatening to drown her in its depths. She yearned for solace, for the chance to mend the broken pieces of their connection, but Roxanne's cold demeanor offered no respite.

As Morelle's world crumbled around her, she clung to the memories of their love, refusing to let them fade completely. In the face of Roxanne's hatred, she held onto the flickering ember of hope, praying that one day, the wounds of the past would heal, and their love would find a way to rekindle.

But that hope shattered as Roxanne knelt on Morelle's bleeding abdomen, causing a torrent of blood to surge from beneath the knife. " But now it's time for you to rest dear sister, so kindly, stop breathing for me."

As the world around her faded to black, Morelle clutched Roxanne's arms with desperation. "No! Please don't leave me!" she begged as Roxanne's fingers dug into her wounds, her fingernails drawing long gashes in the pale flesh of her stomach. "You promised! You told me we'd always be there for each other!"

She gasped and used the little strength she had left to turn around and look at the man, but certainly not a human one. Muscles rippled across every part of his toned body, nearly seven feet tall in height. His left arm, shoulder blade, and part of his rib cage were scattered with reptilian-like scales that almost appeared like diamonds that glistened in the sunlight. He had thick, pure white hair tied in a braid that laid across his muscular bare back, ending at his hips. He had prominent cheekbones and a well-defined chin and jaw. Beneath his brows, his lavender eyes were as direct as expected, not even blinking as much as the average person. Unfortunately, his haunting eyes landed on the small human, seemingly examining her shaking figure closely. His lips curved into a grin, revealing his dangerously sharp teeth. Realization dawned on her, he was going to eat her. Little did she know, he was actually going to marry her. • snippet • She pulled out of his hold and took a step back. "You want to use me." She rasped. His lavender eyes widened and he took a step towards her, making her take two back. "No, that's not-" Her chest heaved as her worst fear was coming to the light. "That's why you've been trying to win me over. You wanted to- to impregnate me! And... And now I'm here, naked in the water with you!" She snapped, hot tears gathering in her eyes. "Holy shit, I'm naked with you." She exasperated, like she just now realized what she's done. She's never felt more exposed and terrified in her life. She was completely vulnerable to him in that moment. He could pounce on her in a split second, have his was with her, and she wouldn't be able to stop him. There it was again. The sheer terror in her eyes, and it was directed at him. Nothing hurt him more than that. • Highest rankings: #1 fiction #1 young adult #1 alien love #1 area 51 #1 stockholm syndrome #1 dark #1 arranged marriage #2 mates #2 wedding #3 alien #3 king
Surviving As A Vampire (Raya Book 2) by mammacub4
28 parts Complete Mature
Because finding out she was a witch wasn't good enough, Raya now finds herself turned into a forbidden witch-vampire hybrid. What else is a girl to do but figure out how to stay hidden from an unknown society whom strongly disapproves of what she's become. A society willing to do anything to exterminate this accidental problem before she becomes too powerful. Colton let out a groan and unleashed his tongue to explore the cavern of Raya's mouth. His tongue successfully coaxing hers to come play. Raya began rocking on his lap as she kissed him back with just as much need as he felt. One of her hands reached up from behind his head and grasped the longer hairs on the top of his over grown military cut. The other was slipping its way down the front of his chest. He let his hands hold onto her hips as she rocked slowly in his lap. Colton's fingers dug in as he pulled her down to rub harder against him. This time Raya growled. As if she knew how desperately he needed her, Raya used both her hands to try and unbutton his khaki shorts. Colton hoped she would make quick work of undressing him, and let loose her hips to start on undressing her. He vaguely knew that he didn't want their kiss to end, so he didn't bother with her shirt, and instead found the button and tiny zipper on her shorts. Someone, somewhere cleared their throat. Colton heard it, and knew that he should stop, and acknowledge the other person in the room. He knew it, but manners be damned, he needed to finally feel this soft, strong willed, very magical, exceedingly beautiful woman wrapped around him. He needed her so badly, he didn't care if it was his own mother that was watching them.

~How deep can the darkness take you... before you lose your soul?~ "Tell me," she said, because the emptiness inside was yawning, stretching, consuming and she suddenly needed something, someone, needed to feel anything other than empty. She hated being empty. And she didn't want him to be empty either. She remembered that. It was like a film had been lifted from her eyes and as she looked down at him, she understood something. With other people, she didn't have to be human. Even with Thorn, he simply knew her. Andreas made her feel human. She didn't know how to be human, didn't know what it involved or what she should do. Humans were fragile, humans could be broken, and Sin was already broken enough. But she wasn't as broken as him. And maybe it was that fact that had her reaching for him, turning so she was laying on the bed beside him, stretching so she could wrap her arms around him and hold him close to her. Maybe it was that knowledge that made her want to protect him from the world. Because she'd thought the gods cruel only to her. She'd been wrong. So she closed her eyes and breathed him in, then breathed out, releasing everything inside her until she was simply... Sin. And she whispered into his hair, softly, five more impossible words. "I can hear you screaming." Dropped into an unknown, dangerous world and thrown together by chance, two people are now in a race for survival. One, a dark sorcerer with a haunted past and a deadly reputation, and the other, a cursed assassin with a chaotic soul. Both are powerful, domineering, and arrogant. Neither are team players. And yet, they'll have to work together if they want to get out alive... that is, if they manage not to kill each other first. (A collaboration/co-write by @Michillie and @Literacy101)

"Liar.." "Monster." The synchronized shallow breaths, his golden eyes gazing down on me, watching every expression of my face as I roll my eyes in pleasure. His hand gripping on my thigh, the other holding me by my throat, his fangs glistening in the candlelight. "Bastard.." I muttered, only to be silenced as his thrusts grew deeper and harder, as if scraping my insides delightfully. I rested my head on his shoulder, hearing him curse under his breath. All of his actions makes me contradict my words. The rage I feel for him dissipates, it feels like I'm relapsing to an addictive drug. It's intoxicating. "I fucking hate you.. tightening around me so damn good.." He said, grunting in each thrusts. My eyes rolling back, groaning in approval he hits my sweetest spots. "Fuck, Vile.. I'm gonna kill you if you don't make me cum right now." I said, my sharp tail pointed at his neck, ready to inject the venom at any moment. Vile laughs, gripping my neck harder. "As if you can. You have the same instincts as I do. The instinct to protect.. to keep you as mine.. and fuck you so senselessly." He said, crashing his lips on mine. The obscuring vision, body trembling orgasm hits me, tightening around him. I bit his lower lip, sucking it until I taste his blood. After a while, he withdraw, giving me a space to breathe and compose myself. "I may have let myself fall into my desires, but I'll make sure you won't get in my way to my mission. You have your own path, so enough following me." Vile dresses himself, before leaving. "And I'll make sure you won't claim me as mine, and get in my way with my own journey, bastard." I muttered.

A Harry Potter AU inspired by J.K. Rowling's universe Prologue: The Forgotten Twin The wizarding world knew of Harry Potter-the Boy Who Lived, the Chosen One, the child who had miraculously survived the Killing Curse. They whispered his name in awe, hailed him as a symbol of hope, and watched his every move with anticipation. But no one spoke of the other one. Roxana Potter had been forgotten. The night Voldemort came for them, the Dark Lord had turned his wand upon both Potter twins, yet fate had only spared one in the eyes of the world. Harry had been the one cradled by destiny, while Roxana had been cast into the shadows of obscurity. Dumbledore had placed them both with the Dursleys, but from the very beginning, the difference in their treatment was clear. Harry was mistreated, yes-but Roxana? She was invisible. If Harry was a burden, she was a ghost, drifting through the household without acknowledgment, without affection, without a place. She had quickly learned that love was not meant for her And Harry-her twin, her only family left-despised her. "You should have died instead of our parents," he had once spat, his emerald eyes burning with something Roxana couldn't name At first, she had tried to understand him. The pain of losing their parents had left wounds too deep to heal. But as the years passed, she realized it wasn't grief that drove him to hate her It was something deeper. Something neither of them understood By the time they turned eleven, Roxana had stopped trying to fix whatever had broken between them. Instead, she embraced the silence, the bitterness, the cold distance that stretched between them And then, the Hogwarts letter came The world she had only read about in stolen books would finally be hers. But Roxana had no illusions-Harry Potter would walk into Hogwarts as a legend. And she? She would be no one Being invisible had its advantages.

She's dead by the third chapter. Okay, it's a bit more complicated than that. Okay, it's A LOT more complicated than that. Renata wants nothing more than to pay her bills through her mildly boring office job and figure out whether she is still in love with her best friend. The latter half of that desire is just a sneak peak into her messy life-and it's only getting messier. Considering the paranormal world she is about to dive head first into, she will come to realize that figuring out her heart may just be the easiest part of this journey. Well, the endless supply of supernatural hotness in this story may beg to differ-but that's besides the point. Either way, it's gonna be a killer time ;) EXCERPT Chicken tacos it is. Right as Renata grabbed the ingredients, she turned to put them next to the stove, where a clean, plastic cutting board awaited. But as she moved, she was confronted by a stranger, an intruder, standing mere inches from her. Before she could scream, he was on her, slamming her against the fridge. Her back flashed with sharp pain. Her eyes pricked with fear as she drank in his uncovered face. Deeply tanned skin. Ruby red eyes-ruby red eyes? Thick, slashing eyebrows. Flat, broad nose. Buzzcut. Handsome. That was as far as she would go in complimenting him considering this guy held a knife to her throat. When he spoke, his voice came out like thunder. It held a thousand threats and a thousand secrets. It held promise of pain if provoked. "If you scream," he warned, mouth pulled in a slight snarl, "this ends quickly." She didn't dare nod against the blade. He noticed and amusement lit up for just a second in those devilish eyes. Oh, whoever the fuck this was, she already hated him. Considering her predicament, panic was the most prominent emotion coursing through her at the moment. "Good." He removed his hand "Now you're going to answer my questions." °°MATURE AND EXPLICIT CONTENT OF ALL KINDS, AND I MEAN ALL KINDS°

"Do you remember calling me 'mate?'" he asked softly, pushing her wild curls away from her face. She blushed deeply, but he wouldn't let her look away. "You heard that?" He nodded with a smile. "It was the first thought she ever shared with me." Skylar pursed her lips. "She likes you very much." "What about you?" he teased gently. "How do you feel about me?" She set her jaw and once again managed to look down her nose at him while staring up at him. "Well... well, I'm rather fond of you, Orion." He let out a relieved laugh and pulled her into his chest again. "What a relief. I was worried it was just me." He nuzzled her temple, inhaling deeply, his dragon fully at peace. The words "I love you" were right on the tip of his tongue, but he knew it was too soon for that. He would have to hold them in just a little while longer. "I'm fond of you, too," he whispered in her ear. <><><><><><><><> Skylar lived her life in fear. Fear of exposure, fear of herself, and fear of her future. As a princess and heir to the kingdom, her future was daunting enough. The fact that she turned into dragon and would be killed if anyone found out made it all the worse. So, Skylar lived in constant conflict with the beast within her, all while training to be queen one day. When a fellow king discovers her secret, she is forced to flee or put her entire family in danger. When she meets Orion, the Alpha of a dragon clan, he helps open up a whole new world to her. In this new world, Skylar discovers who she is supposed to be and what she's been hiding from. She finds the beauty of her beast and a love she only ever dreamed of. But then her new world is threatened. It becomes a matter of kill or be killed, so Skylar's new family, with the help of her old, must rise to the challenge to defeat this threat.

'You didn't answer my question,' he asked, holding her gaze in his hypnotic ones. 'Wh... what question?' She was surprised at her own voice, it sounded like of someone else's. She wanted to ask him--which question, there were so many he had asked her tonight. Each one threatening in their own different ways to her sanity. Brandan smiled mysteriously. Not answering her, he instead said something else, 'Don't keep staring at me like that.' His voice was soft. Suddenly, she found herself in some other world. 'W.. why?' She stammered ridiculously. His lips slightly brushed against her, she closed her eyes in anticipation, under the spell of their lips connecting. Sparking were the electricity all over her skin. ''Cause....' He took a step back from her, leaving her cold and she was too lost to do something about it--like leaping closer to him and getting engulfed in the euphoric warmth once again. ''Cause, you will fall in love with me... ' He paused as growling deeply a set of thunders boomed above the skies. Cold wind made her hair dance around. He finally finished his sentence, 'Again.' Rain poured down upon her heavily as if the entire sky was about to break down over her, She opened her eyes against the cold water to see he had lef alreadyt, leaving her to drown into his words, completely. *** They say love's blind.
