Do you hear it calling you?
Do you see the black inside?
Can you get it out in time?
Or will it take over your mind?
The darkness has chosen you.
It cannot be denied.
It took up roots inside your heart.
Now wonder you're afraid of the dark.
The mark of the beast is on your skin.
It cannot be erased.
You feel the anger and the strength with every step you take.
Take a deep breath, it may be your last.
For the Dragonfly awakes.
.
Harrison West never existed. As far as the Union knew. His records were erased, and anyone who had known him, was dead. He was on the run from the council, and from a secret underground circle of dark, powerful people claimed by the mark of the dragonfly. If he disobeyed the mark, he would die, but if he did what it said, he would kill innocent people. Torn between light and dark, Harrison learns of a way he can save his people: By finding the chosen one, Charlotte Griffin.
Charlotte Griffin was just another member of the Union, or so everyone thought. Strange things started happening in her society, one of the boys in her academy, Isaac, went missing. And the members of the council were covering it up. Charlie wanted to know why. Digging into this mystery could land her dead, but Charlie was to curious for her own good. She had to know where Isaac had gone, and who this new mysterious boy that had shown up after he went missing was. Little did she know she was about to get caught in between a more dangerous war than the one that destroyed half the earth. And it was all up to her to save everything.

His Ruthless Temptation
I saw her long before she saw me. She didn't know then that her fate had already been sealed, that every step she took was drawing her closer to me. Closer to what she would become. There was something in her-something fragile, something wild. A fear she tried to hide, wrapped in defiance and confidence. It was intoxicating, watching her, knowing that no one else could see what I saw. No one else could feel the pull like I did. The slow, deliberate unraveling of her world as it would soon be tethered to mine. I felt my heart beat once, hard and fast. It was the only signal I needed. She would be mine-not in some fleeting, hollow way. No. I would strip away every shield, every defense, until she was laid bare, body and soul. And when she looked at me for the first time, I knew. She was already mine. A. Trigger Warning ⚠️: This story contains intense and graphic content, exploring dark and disturbing themes that may be triggering for some readers.

Highest ranked- #10 in action 2/16/2017 A promotion. That's all I wanted. I didn't want to run for my life. I didn't want to be kidnapped. I didn't want to face death. I didn't want to find out my whole life was a lie. I just wanted a bloody promotion. Guess fate had other plans? **** The cold air fanned over my face as I opened the door.

My hair was stuck to my face from all the sweat and blood. Everything was spinning around me and the ground seemed like it was shaking. Groaning I sat down and put my head on my knees. He knows who I am. He knows how I look like. He knows where I work so possible knows where I live. I am not safe anymore... no where. While I was in my own world I heard faint sounds behind me but I didn't bother to look or run away. The footsteps got closer and I was pretty sure it was Walker's men. I should run. I should try to fight. But what's the point in trying to run away? He would eventually find me and if he has his way he would most likely kill me. If this is my fate then why am I trying to fight it? I felt someone harshly grab my waist and pull me up and I complied. They dragged me down the alley and into the busy street. I heard the opening of a car and the next thing I knew I was being thrown into a car. My head hit the hard leather seat and the door shut behind me. Maybe this is how my life will end. Maybe I should just let it happen. Maybe I was destined to die alone as a no one. With that I let the darkness consume me.Complete
