Blood & Honour [Book Four of The City of Eternity Series] [✔] by SurroundMe

Sebastian has always lived by the rules. As an official in the Central Zone of the City of Eternity, he processes vampires and werewolves who break the law, sending them to their deaths with reluctant efficiency. It's a job he despises but one that keeps order in the city. However, when food supplies fail to reach the supernatural zones, chaos begins to creep toward Central, threatening the fragile peace. Human leaders Aubrey and Alaric suspect revolutionists are to blame for the shortages and send Sebastian to investigate. Forced to leave the safety of Central, Sebastian is thrust into a deadly world he barely understands. Infiltrating the revolutionaries, he's given a chilling task: assassinate a powerful vampire in the Ruby District of the Eastern Zone. With the city on the verge of collapse, he must choose between his loyalty to his human leaders and the growing chaos threatening to consume everyone. Yet, his mission is complicated by a personal struggle-Sebastian's own family, his mother and brother, were turned into vampires during the first revolution that destroyed Barewood. His desire to protect them conflicts with his duty to uphold Central's rules. As tensions rise and the revolution deepens, Sebastian must navigate a path through treachery and violence, all while keeping his loved ones safe. In Blood & Honour, the fourth book in the City of Eternity series, Sebastian faces impossible choices as the city teeters on the brink of another uprising. Bound by his obligations to Central yet torn by his family's supernatural ties, he must decide whether to uphold the law or defy it-and whether duty is worth the price of blood.

Calathea by _reichii

For what reason does one wake up every day? People had always thought the life of ISAAC RUIZ couldn't be more perfect. Everything he wanted, he would get with his money and influence. What anyone didn't know was his real motivation to keep on living -- something that was silly for others, but a salvation for him. For office employee FLORENCE VILLENA, there was no longer any meaning to his existence. Nothing could fill the void he had been experiencing inside him anymore, and he was convinced the world was better off without him in it. At twenty-eight years old, LAURENCE VILLEGAS had a lot of reasons to wish to just sleep forever. Since losing his home and family, the universe had rarely been kind to him. And yet, he chose to survive, time and again, if only for the hope of seeing his life get a little better. On Friday the thirteenth of January 2023, fates began to entangle as Laurence died, Florence killed himself, and Isaac lost his reason to live. Nine months after the incidents, a new dawn fell upon those three lives when a dead man's soul reawakened in someone else's body. Set in a fictional Asian City called Perlientas. Mature topics: deaths, including self-killing (actual scene not depicted), mental health and other social issues, character thoughts that some may find disturbing or triggering. Despite those themes, the overall story's pretty tamed. Featured on: @Romance [Romantic Suspense] | September 2024 𝑷𝒂𝒅𝒂𝒖𝒌 𝑴𝒊𝒏𝒊 𝑨𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒅𝒔 𝑭𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆 - 𝑩𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝑷𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝑪𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒈𝒐𝒓𝒚

Mr & Mr Hitman by TheLoreScribe

Completed ✔️ Would you kill for love? The world is a cruel place. Evil eyes roam around dark alleys. Malicious hands trace over the corpses of the people they killed. All of that under the clueless minds of innocent crowds, unaware that those thrown in rivers or burnt to ashes, could potentially be their relative. Samuel Thompson is your average carefree, funny and sometimes clumsy guy, but the façade he puts on doesn't change the fact that in the ignorance of his friends, he brings doom into people's life. Well, that was his job afterall. A hitman. But that same hitman didn't know that his life would shift around after a man moved into his apartment, wavering his feelings between friendship and love. Cameron Taylor started a one-sided rivalry with the main character, staying up at night, fuming at the very thought of his name, for whatever reason. But that same rivalry later turns into a passionate attachment where bloodshed was required to live on. And both of them were ready to take this oath. Warning: This book contains murder, abuse, and torture parts with sometimes explicit details and foul language. Viewer discretion is advised. [Started: 27/03/21] [Finished : 05/08/23]

BLACKBiiRDS by kenn12

"I call this one pain. And this lil one right here under his wing is suffering." "No offense, but...who the hell would wanna be reminded of pain and Suffering? If I was going to get something etched into my skin forever, I'd want something that would bring me joy." His grin bemused her. As if he expected her to contradict his moral logic. "True that, shorty. And I agree, no doubt. But who's to say my birds don't bring me joy?" Dumbfounded, Jett lifted her eyes from the silhouetted birds up to meet his tender gaze, stumped on how to answer his question. She shrugged with one arm, "Do they?" * * * Jett Jaletta has enough of her own problems. Unreliable family members that depend on her for everything, too many bills with not enough income. And a federal probation sentence that's held her hostage for the past three years. The last thing she needs is the drama that comes along with a handsome face, drama that could jeopardize everything she's working for - a liberating dance career. But Roman Carter isn't liable for the damage caused by his blessed good genes. As a matter of fact, his alluring appearance and its effect on the opposite sex is the furthest on his list of priorities. The recent murder of his only brother has left him unfocused, indignant, and irrevocably heartbroken. Well, he is focused on one thing...retribution. BlackBiirds is the intertwining story of two characters-who's deepest pains and struggles happen to be caused by the other person. Ironically, surrounding situations, dangerous rivals, and even their own family members cause these two to become tangled in ways they can't escape from. * * * BLACKBiiRDS is the rewritten, reworked 2.0 version of its former draft: Souled Out.
