My Monster Mate (Book I)
Book One in the My Mate Series - "Elijah," Alexander calls in this terrifying voice. I know it's dangerous but I ignore him, I keep my eyes shut and continue to rock myself back and forth, my hands blocking my ears. I didn't want to look at him, I didn't want to see those black orbs. "Look at me." He demands, his voice depicting his rage. "No," I whisper. "Look at me or I swear, I will do it!" He shouts. I'm not completely sure what 'it' is but I'm sure it has to do with death. Although the poor kid probably wants exactly that. I want that for him right now. It must be a lot less painful than what he's probably going through. Slowly, I reluctantly remove my hands from my ears and pick up my head from my knees, I open my eyes gazing up at him. As soon as I do - I wish I hadn't. Because as soon as I do Alexander snaps his neck. I gasp, tears sliding down my cheeks even faster than they were before. My mate is a monster. "I told you." He laughs, "I am a monster. And guess what?" He pauses, as if daring me to say something, "I don't intend on changing for anyone and especially not you." - Copyright © Mbalii *NOT man x man. *Completed.Complete
Without the Beauty of Us
A gypsy boy trying simply trying to survive in a harsh world. But his mother's unknown sickness grows worse with each day and so he must do what he has to in order to earn enough money to find her help This was my main WIP up until a few months ago. I used to spend a lot of time on it but I eventually just lost faith in its potential and moved onto the WIP I'm working on now, which, in my opinion, is a lot better. I know the title doesn't make any sense but if I had actually bothered to finish the book it would have, sorry if this annoys you. As always, comments, criticisms, advice, it's all welcome. Enjoy.Complete

"Can I ask you a question?" Alexander says looking me in the eyes while laying back and holding a blunt. "Mhm, ask away.." I replied curiously, focusing on him. "Are you a virgin?" He says looking me in the eyes. I gulped surprised at the question he just gave me. I nod innocently knowing I'm already blushin' "Yes.." I Answer, "Ye ye." He smirked sitting back inhaling his blunt. I raise my eyebrow confused then he looks back at me. "You can't be a virgin." He says staring at me. "..And why's that?" I question. "Sweetheart, you just walked past me and I'm already hard." I bite my bottom lip, "don't do that.." he trails, eyes dark. "Why.." I say looking him deep in the eyes seeing him tense up. "It does things to me..." he starts, "what things?" I say innocently, He then moves closer to me, takes my hand and puts it on his rock hard dick. I widen my eyes. He comes closer and I could feel his hot breath on my neck, then whispers in my ear, "Bad things..." ••• ⚠️mature content⚠️ ⚠️smut warning⚠️ Finished: 5th September, 2021 <3Complete
Lost Among the Peaks
This story follows Alex, a young boy who is unexpectedly thrust into a world of danger and mystery when he is pursued by a group known as the Hunters. Initially, Alex believes he's just an ordinary kid, but as the story unfolds, he learns that he's connected to something far greater-something ancient and powerful. The Hunters are after him because of what he is, not just who he is, and they believe he holds the key to a power that could reshape the world. As Alex journeys through the mountains with his companion, Jack, he faces increasingly perilous situations. Along the way, Jack reveals pieces of the truth-Alex is not just any ordinary person, but someone who holds a power that others want to exploit. Jack has been protecting him for years, keeping him in the dark for his safety, but now, with the Hunters closing in, Alex must make a choice: continue running and hiding, or face the truth about himself and the power within him. Throughout the story, Alex grapples with the weight of his newfound identity and the responsibility that comes with it. The mountains, the storm, and the constant pursuit of the Hunters serve as metaphors for Alex's inner journey-he must confront the parts of himself he's been avoiding, understand his purpose, and make a stand against those who would use his power for destruction. In the end, Alex chooses to face his fate head-on, no longer running from what he is, but embracing the strength and potential he has inside. The story is about self-discovery, overcoming fear, and stepping into one's true power in the face of overwhelming odds.

Struck By Lightning
!!TRIGGER WARNING!! This story is 18+ and includes sexual/graphic/horrific senses that aren't for the light of heart. Self harm, verbal abuse, mental abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, sexual assault, religion, suicide, and cult activities all are parts of this book. Life's a fucked up hardship. You never know what will happen next and honestly I don't know if I want to know what is wrong with me or who I am. I would rather be a stranger to myself than realize that I'm a broken mess created by all those who shake their heads after I show a little blood. This story is a series of sad tails followed by disappointment, this is what my life feels like and if it all goes down hill from here, remember; I was only human, right?Complete

A sudden twist in their lives thrusts the two of them into the sprawl of the human city, and achieving that goal suddenly seems impossible. When Lyn and Lucius cross paths with two strange girls, their priorities are tested. These strangers seem to be able to answer Lyn's biggest question: where does she come from? But a pressing problem must be resolved before they can show her. Who is Aspen, and why are these people so desperate to find him? --- This is the continuation to my other story called The Winged. It isn't a direct continuation, but I would recommend reading the other story first to avoid confusion. If you can suffer through it, you can find it on Search or by looking on my account :) Apologies for the incredible time it took me to write this crap. Hopefully you enjoy 🥲Complete
