The Daylighter Chronicles by mirokuspet

ranked #49 in hiding I was suddenly just so angry that I was living in fear of this kind of attack. Why? Because we were different. Because we weren't human, and we didn't live in the darkness, and so we were attacked from both sides, always having to look for an escape route. So I snapped, and instead of running towards the door like I knew I should have, I threw a punch that was supposed to land in his rib cage, hopefully breaking a few and causing enough internal damage that he would be down for a while. But that didn't happen, because once that punch was thrown my attacker grabbed my wrist and threw me against the wall and stabbed me with a stake that ripped right through my red skull kitty tank top and cut into the flesh that covered my heart. That was when I heard the slow chuckle and that annoying voice I knew all too well say, "Not bad, but you're still dead."

Wrong Time by endlessroads_19

#1 in Paranormal 15/12/20 and 31/10/2021 #1 in Paranormal Love 13/04/19 and 21/10/2021 Everyone has been told at least one ghost story during their life, but it's up to them to believe it or not. I was part of that group, the sceptics. Always rational, never choosing my heart over my brain. That was it until one life-changing day. We have all heard of ghost stories. Here's mine. ****** Grace Lancaster is a completely normal 17 year-old teenager, except for one little fact. She's been having the same realistic nightmare for the past two years. It's not just a bad dream, it means something and she knows it. But what could that be? Archer Sutcliffe is the answer to all her prayers. However, she will face an inconvenience: He is a ghost. Fire and ice. Light and darkness. Life and death. Sometimes the perfect person for you is who you least expected them to be, and they are the clear example of that. But most importantly: Will they find the answers both of them are looking for?

His Path Of Redemption by Manhattanwannabe

Prologue How do you fix something that is beyond repair? How do you stop your heart from breaking each time you try to fix the wrong? How do you redeem someone when you know the person is beyond redemption? SHE was the happiest soul to step on this earth. HE was worse than satan himself. She was an angel to the world but only a few knew she was a devil in disguise too. He had a heart of black, they thought, but only a few knew that the same heart was once golden. She was adamant on making the wrong right. He was adamant on making it worse. But In the journey of making his wrongs right, In bringing him out of the darkness. She didn't know she would become darkness herself, she wasn't aware that her heart would break into million pieces which she couldn't put back. ^ ^ ^ ^ "would you treat me the same way if I wasn't independent and equally strong?" I asked breaking the silence. He stared at me and said "No, I wouldn't" shocked would be an understatement, I was astonished his 3 words made my heart jump but I wasn't prepared for what came next, " I wouldn't treat you the same way not because no woman deserves it, but because I would never, EVER bend to anyone because I won't beg for anyone to stay, because I don't NEED anyone" he said, coldly. That day I realized one thing, whatever this guy had gone through was beyond repair but I wasn't aware that with him, even I' d have to go through the same hell. Would Blaze and Olivia cross all limits of being crazy? Will Blaze's cold demeanor be broken by Olivia's warmth? Or will Blaze bring darkness to her like he bought to everything else? Will obsession win over love? Will sins be redeemed? Cover by: @krissthetic.

The Alpha's Summit by HavenStiel

NOTE: This is completed but unedited. It will be going through major changes soon including with plot and character changes. Once it is all changed, a notice of Completion will be added! Thanks! Sins and Secrets Book 1: "How do you think all your little Alpha buddies will feel," he hissed, his hot, rancid breath whispering across the back of my neck causing my stomach to sink, "When they discover the dark secret you've been hiding? Do you think they'll respect you still? Do you think that little mate of yours will still want you?" At the thought of Tiberius, my wolf went crazy. My body jerked at the restrained that held me down, the smell of burning flesh filling the room as the silver began to cut into my wrists. "Go to hell." We snapped as my whole body began to go numb. "Oh can't you see, my sweet little bird," he came closer, his lips practically pressed against the skin on my cheek, "You're already there." --------------------------------------------------------------------- My name is Cara Eldoran. I am one of two Alpha's within my pack. Two years ago, I stood frozen to the ground and watched as someone I loved killed my older brother in front of me. There were no screams or tears. My whole body had gone into shock, and I was left to watch the horrors unfold in front of me. But I will lose no one else. Alpha's are going missing. They are being taken from their homes in the middle of the night and are never seen again. Sometimes I wish that being taken was my biggest problem. That all I had to worry about was making sure my windows were locked at night and that I was safe in the arms of my mate, but there is much more at stake then most realize. I vowed revenge for my brother the day he died, and I will stop at nothing to get it. Not even the dark secrets that could destroy me will stop my lust for vengeance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------

My Bella by Moonyxyx

(Previously known as 'Forbidden love') My legs have a mind of their own and i find myself walking towards the bathroom. She left it unlocked. I turn the handle and open the door. The steam escaping. I walk further in and shut the door behind me. I don't think she can hear me. I strip from my clothes and push them to the side. I walk up to the bath tub that has a shower attached. I move the curtain out of the way and her back is facing me. She looks so beautiful right now it's too late to turn away. I step in and wrap my arms around her naked waist and rest my forhead on her shoulder blade. I hear her gasp and her body stills under my touch. Still not facing me, i speak.

I'm in love with you" I've finally said it. •~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~• A lot is happening in Bella and Noahs' love story.

As the Crow Falls | ✔ by SmokeAndOranges

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.

I Accidentally Summoned a Demon by JaideHarley

"I know you're a virgin but have you never been touched?" He asked, sliding his other hand down onto her leg. "What makes you say that?" Kat breathed, bracing her hands on the counter. "You react like someone who's never felt another's touch," Nex whispered, slipping his thumb under the band of her shorts. "So, have you not?" Kat opened her mouth to speak but stopped when his hand slid up from her leg, gliding up her stomach and stopping just below her breast. "Not even here?" He asked, following the curve of her breast with one finger, not touching, staying just below as he dragged it back and forth. "What about here?" He asked, sliding his hand down from her ribs to the bottom of her shorts then around to her butt, fingers nearly grazing it as he inched them up, under her pajamas. "I can say with certainty, never here," he said, lowering his other hand under the waistband of her shorts, touching the top of her underwear. "No, you've definitely never felt that before. I can hear your heart racing, I can feel your breathing, I can smell your body responding like it's never experienced these sensations before," he whispered, sliding a finger just underneath the band. "Should I answer its call?" #1 in demons on 6/15 -6/17/20! Again on 6/20 and 6/22-6/23! Sweet and innocent Katherine has a routine and is a little tightly wound.
