150 years ago a seal was broken and magic flooded the world. Bloodlines that had lain dormant for centuries were reawakened and chaos reigned. 

Now, The Arc has taken over and order has been restored but it's a tenuous kind of peace. Anything and anyone who threatens that peace is snatched from their bed in the middle of the night, never to be seen again. 

Lexi knows she's something different, something dangerous. So she's been living her life in the shadows, never letting anyone get too close. When, in a moment of desperation and adrenaline, she finds herself saving a powerful fae's life from the basement of an Arc facility, her world is turned upside down. She agrees to help the infuriating but beautiful man recover his power but it turns out to be more than she bargained for when they discover a device implanted inside him that blocks his magic. Bound by blood and secrets the pair must work together to figure out how to remove it before it's too late.

Beyond The Lie by midnight_muxe

She took a step closer, her eyes blazing with anger. "You want to know what's really unfair? It's that you're mad at me for doing what you should have done in the first place. You should have come to talk to me, should have made an effort. But no, instead you're over here, pouting and blaming me for your own lack of action. You're so-" I cut her off mid-sentence, my hands grasping her face, my lips crashing down on hers in a fierce, possessive kiss. I silenced her venomous words with my own desperate need. I growled to myself, my mind racing with the truth. I was holding back, and I knew it. But I didn't mean to blame her for my own fears. That was just a coward's excuse. But if she wanted me to take action, I was more than happy to oblige. I devoured her lips, my head tilting deep into the kiss. She tensed, her body rigid with surprise, but then relaxed into me, her lips parting to let me in. ----------------------------- Secrets, passion, and a forbidden attraction...

The Forbidden Entity (BWWM) by JLB_18

In this world of supernatural beings, power, and greed act as a catalyst for violence and war. Humans are subordinate in every sense and reside at the bottom of the hierarchy. Vampires hunt them for sport, and other beings condemn them to forced labor. Lycans are the only creatures to offer humans peace and solidarity, making their territory a place of refuge for the dwindling species. Most humans live under the security that lycans are honorable enough to keep their word. Thus, they follow their rules and live a quiet and quaint life. Humans can even choose to work at the royal castle for wages.  So, what happens when a cautious eighteen-year-old with a big heart and humble personality decides to seize the opportunity?  Sayora is sensitive, selfless, soft-spoken, and empathetic. She's like a beacon that attracts everything in her path. That notion becomes even more apparent when she arrives at the castle to obtain a position. However, her life takes a drastic turn shortly after her arrival, and Sayora is propelled into a world of lust, sex, violence, danger, history, mates, and carnal desires.  Powerful secrets get unveiled, jealousy arises, and the threat of war looms over the castle. Lycans hold most of the world's power, and their enemies will stop at nothing to dethrone them. Amidst all the turmoil, Sayora learns she's not as innocent as she once believed. . . . . . ⚠️ Read at your discretion. This story is MATURE, and it's rated 18+ for crude language, strong violence, gore, descriptive sex scenes, smut, nudity, explicit content, taboo topics, themes of suicide and depression, and BDSM elements. ⚠️  NOTE: The MCs do not meet right away!!!!! I take my time introducing them, so if you prefer rushed stories where the MCs profess their love in the second chapter, then this book isn't for you.

My Fucked Up Fairytale by pinenutters

TEASER: "No fiancée of mine needs to learn how to fight." His breath flows upon the prickling skin of my neck. I close my eyes, involuntarily shuddering in response. "All you need to know how to do is satisfy me." "How exactly am I supposed to satisfy you?" The answer to such a question is obvious, yet, like the idiot I am, I still asked him. "Blood...and of course, other means." BLURB: Cyra is pulled into a foreign world where humans are rarities while vampires, elves, werewolves, witches, and more strange creatures are the norm. That's the least of her worries though. Now the bride of one of the most powerful vampires in all of the kingdom, she is faced with two choices. One: give in and accept her doomed future with a husband who detests humans, or two: successfully kill him before he is crowned King of Bestias.

Deviant Fate by __EL__el

"Gweneria." Arowin's deep voice bounced off the walls forcing everyone to flinch by the sheer volume. My demeanor never changed. I won't roll over like a dog for him. Glaring straight into his golden eyes I smirked. "It seems you're late to the party, my dearest divine." I sighed with fake disappointment. "Luckily, you've made it in time for the best part." I shot a wicked smile towards Gerin. I practically felt his fear from where I stood. "Enough of this flippancy!" Gerin shrieked. "This filth is nothing. A lowly woman!" He spoke to the crowd. "You couldn't kill me even if you tried." He scoffed. A deadly grin graced my face as I reveled in the thought of proving him wrong. "Shall we test his claim, Arowin?" I glimpsed over my shoulder. "Stop this, Gweneria." He spit. I could tell he was on edge. "What to do?" I tapped my finger on my chin in indecision. "My divine doesn't want me to entertain everyone. That seems like such a shame though." I feigned sadness then dropped my facade entirely as a dead look overcame my face. No one moved as they kept their stares on me. They feared me and I couldn't be more pleased.

**WARNING** ~contains explicit content that may not be acceptable to all viewers. discretion advised~ "No no no no..." My words trailed "NO!!" I screamed, pulling harshly at all my restraints, attempting to get free, hearing the harsh clank of metal on metal with every movement. Colder than the table beneath me, chills ran through my body. This couldn't be happening, please. A sadistic laugh rang through the room and my head fell in defeat as my eyes squinted closed, not wanting to see his face. "Yes, actually." I felt his disgusting, filthy hands trail down my arms. I could feel him leaning forwards, moving himself closer to me. I couldn't bring myself to open my eyes, so I just lay there, waiting for what I knew was to come. "You're mine now, mut." His voice made my body tense more than it already had. The way he sounded so angry. So possessive. I dared myself to speak, "W-what ar-are you gonna d-do to me?" My voice shook and wavered so much in my fear that it was numb to my ears.

The Whispering Throne by kitrimichael

"What the devil are you doing, woman!" He snatched at the sheet and viciously pulled it from my grip. I gasped, teetering on my bare feet as the sheet unwound to reveal my undergarments.

Separately Together by laneyrenee02

HARLEY WALKER Maddie had become my addiction over the past few months, I don't know if the feelings extend any farther than that, but I knew that I craved her. Craved to see the blush that caused her cheeks to become the darkest of reds. Craved to see her wince whenever someone used a curse word and the worst of all was that I craved to feel her. Platonically, of course. This wasn't ... normal for me. MADELINE HANSEL He was the ledge to a very deep, dark, and deadly lake. You could only tread so far before falling in completely.
