Lilith Ashford was a name you'd easily hear in the hospital hallways but you wouldn't spot her easily until you were keen enough.

She was usually in the spotlight yet not clearly seen. No one concentrated enough on her until a new medic is hired and he begins showing up everywhere she is.

They say that he's cold and aloof, always minding his business and rarely interacting with the other staff but why does he keep trying to help everytime Lilith finds herself in a fix?

"My eyes," for a moment, my hands stopped shaking and my attention instantly shifted to him. 

"Look into them when you get too overwhelmed," He uttered softly as he held the tiny palm of my hand against his.

I followed the pattern of his breathing, firmly grasping onto his hand and the edge of his white coat as the lift went up to the fortieth floor.

Not once did my eyes deter from his.

"Hurry up, cultie," Ardith was looking at her again. "You better get used to things, fast." Lilith tried to wet her lips using her tongue, but the sensation was as unpleasant as sandpaper rubbing against itself. "What's... a 'cultie'?" "Means you were in or are from one of those weird obsessive cults," Ardith said. Her voice carried a subtle annoyance, as if she was saying something obvious. "A... cult?" "Yes, a cult," Ardith said. They leaned forward and snapped their fingers loudly twice in front of Lilith's face, causing her to jolt back. "So wake up. There's work to do, and we haven't got all day." ~ "It's not a matter of if you deserve it or not. Do you want it?" A simple question, really, one with only two answers to choose from. But to Lilith, it felt as if she had been thrust to the very edge of a precipice, and was now dangling over the depths of a familiar abyss. It wasn't until she stared into the depths of her own elegiac soul that Lilith finally felt an answer forming at the tip of her tongue ~ A Series of Bayisrian & Necelian Tales: The Book of Exi ~ A tale in which a naive young woman was raised in an obsolescent lifestyle and fashion-believing marriage to be a guaranteed solution in making her future perfect-but now finds herself waking up in a technologically advanced and high-security facility, where she is forced to formulate a plan with other prisoners to escape before they each lose their free will for good. ~ [Book cover was a commission created by the lovely @murttburt]

"Do you have any idea how damn frustrating you are?" He trapped me between him and the wall. Stubbornly, I looked squarely at him, "You say this like it's news to you." He pursed his lips, clenched his jaw, and stared at me with darkened eyes before he closed the gap between us. I stared at him squarely as I felt his body heat radiated off me, my lips parted and my breathing picked up a notch. He placed one hand on the wall and brought his lips an inch away from mine as the other hand trailed up my arms, "I am going to make you feel my frustration." I ran my finger along his jaw and dared him with my eyes, "I'm Mila," I grinned, "You can try but we both know you won't succeed." He ran his thumb over my bottom lip, "Don't take my love for you as weakness," he stated and captured my lips with a fiery kiss. The road to love for Mila and Mitchell wasn't easy, but they finally reached their destination after many bumps along the way. Blissfully in love, they set off on another journey together but instead of the Highway, they hit the high seas.

Oliver looked on amazed as his witch dipped a little backwards, his hand still had a light grip on her upper arm. To an onlooker it would seem like they were in the midst of a slow dance. Oliver kept on watching as her lips uplifted themselves into a pleased smile. Her nose crinkled as another snowflake joined the first one. Her one had stretched out to catch the shiny, multicolored cloud particles. Soon, her woolen cap also got decorated with snow. She sighed out a smokey breath with her eyes fluttering close in the bliss of this moment. And the sight took Oliver's breath away. 'You...,' Oliver mumbled, 'You look...' 'What?' Elli hummed closing her eyes, the smile was still there and so was her addictive bliss. Oliver didn't know his mouth had parted open slightly, he felt a thirst like never before engulfing his very being. 'You look...,' He tried again, a lump was forming in his throat. Hearts beat in rhythm and they beat together fast, it was as if they would keep it up like that until they could combust hand in hand. But Oliver forced himself to return back to reality. Getting a grip of himself, he finished his dangerous sentence finally. 'You look like Santa Claus!' Or what else? Oliver mentally chastised himself for even thinking of saying it aloud that she looked beautiful indeed, absolutely gorgeous, like an angel of mischief, a true witch - a white, beautiful one in that case. He couldn't risk saying all that to her and inflate her already oversize ego bag, he couldn't bear having her walk all over him in pride and... whatever. Elli gasped and stood straighter now, her outstretched hand in it's own accord landed straight on his chest, right over his heart in a - what was supposed be a punishing slap. Oliver hissed. 'This acidity!' *You're Still The One, Book 3* ~~It's difficult for them to be with each other, but then, it's also difficult for them to be without each other. ~~

BOOK 4 COMPLETE Kaden is the Beta of Blackstone pack, and while fated mates are part of his world, he never gave much thought to finding his own, or at least he didn't used to. Kaden goes off on a long run to get away and feels a strange, indescribable pull. As he moves farther into California, he finds his mate, but what should be a happy moment is shrouded in darkness as he ventures into her world- a world of darkness and danger unlike anything he's ever experienced. Violet's been labeled a genius and prodigy ever since she was a child, and she hates every moment of it. After escaping from the limelight, she lives in a world of secrets and fear- fear of being found, of being trapped like she was before. She keeps everyone else at a distance and tries to drown the grief and the pain of her past and present with self-medication until the day she can finally get the justice she's worked so hard for. Promises she made years ago stay fresh in her mind and she does everything she can to keep them, even if it means crossing the boundary of legality. Her trauma-engrained mind won't let Kaden get close to her without precautions but as she looks into his life, she finds things that aren't adding up and make her question what he's hiding. "Violet?" That single touch made the rest of me feel more alive than I had in years. Under his hand, under the clothes, against my skin, was a scar that contributed to me turning off all feeling, and yet one touch from him and it was all coming back, like I was learning how to be alive again. Maybe not even again, maybe I was learning for the first time. My hands had a mind of their own as they slid down his chest. He inhaled sharply, his hand tightening on my hip. I bit on my lip, knowing this was stupid, but I couldn't stop. "Seven minutes in heaven it is," I said, sliding my hands down his torso, the muscles of his abs tightening under my touch. "But no kissing." "I don't need to kiss you to be in heaven with you."

Dream of Me

12 parts Ongoing

"Why do you keep looking at me like that?" Beatrice's voice was barely above a whisper, her pulse quickening as River leaned closer, the heat of his presence almost unbearable. "Like what?" he replied, his breath warm against her ear, teasing the edge of her control. "Like you want me to make the first move... but we both know you will." Beatrice Auclair never planned on being drawn to someone like River Mason-charming, infuriating, and impossible to ignore. Their banter in the office turns into something much deeper, much more dangerous. River is guarded, haunted by a past he won't open up about, yet he's the one person who makes her feel alive in ways she wasn't expecting. As their connection intensifies, Beatrice finds herself tangled in the pull of a man who isn't ready to commit but refuses to let her go. When the tension between them ignites, Beatrice is forced to make choices she isn't ready to face-about love, heartbreak, and the possibility of losing herself in the process. As she navigates her life in the office, she's left wondering: is this just another dead-end romance or the beginning of something that will change her forever?
