Camdyn Marley, a thief - one who'd long made a deal with Death when he'd hung on to life, feeling a noose tighten at his throat, had always vowed to return back to the realm of the unliving when he'd finished his destiny, one he'd given himself, of building a building where all the poor could live as happily as the rich. He stole from the rich, the silvers piling up - counted up to become the amount that would pay for the town he was to construct. For, in his opinion; "It is I who is noble, for it is I who has actions as such, and they who do not." 
Death had long sent along one of his slaves, Lynid, a man who was not man by any means, to have accompanied Camdyn. Lynid became Camdyn's accomplice - and together they stole along with a band of robbers who kept partials of the gold for themselves whilst Camdyn saved all of his for the building. Camdyn could've stayed longer, could've never built the building and could've forever lived - but he was a man of his word, and he had vowed to Death that he'd return to his clutches once his masterpiece would be finished. And therefore - he was known as a living dead, for no noose could kill him, but he'd die as soon as his building was built. 
He'd never expected to fall in love. Never, not with a poor girl he'd met whilst walking. He'd never expected that he'd been the shoulder she'd cry on when her beautiful face shed tears. And it made dying all the harder. 
And he only noticed the flaw in his plans moments before the last brick was set. And he was dead. In mere seconds. 
But his love wasn't, and she wouldn't let him go. Never.

Diana Pheonix Silvermoon. This name is of great importance. Who is she? And why is she so important? Well, it's just because she is the goddess of earth and nature. She holds power like none. Coming to know about an upcoming war on Earth, Diana has no choice but to intervene, as this war is connected to the gods. She finds her love, her mate, who is the king of werewolves. And not to mention, he is carrying his own baggage. King Ares Darvyn William is the King of all werewolves. Being alone for a hundred years made him feel lonely. And it heightened because of the behaviour of his parents, and the 'accident' in which he lost his sister. Not to mention the betrayal of his uncle. By chance his mate is the Great Goddess of Earth. Will be able to take this shock? Will they get their happily ever after? Will they win the great war of the century? What will happen when they recieve betrayal from someone? Will the great Goddess manage to win the great battle? ••• (sneak peak) "Why are you staring? " She asked cutely. "Staring? At what? " I asked confused. "A-At my stomach you were staring. " She stuttered cutely. I chuckled. "Let me remind you. Your stomach will not be the only thing I will be staring at. There are so many places where I want to stare. For example, your pretty long legs, your creamy stomach, and your enticing blue eyes, small but cute nose, and your luscious lips which are, right now, begging me to kiss them, soft and hard, without letting you to breath." I said, whispering the last sentence in her ears, while she held on to my tunic tightly, as if she would fall, if she were to let go. "S-Stop." She said, softly, as I chuckled at her shyness. ••• Ranking: 27/08/2022 3# in King and Queen 13/10/2022 1# In king and queen 20/02/2023 5# In Goddess 11/06/2023 1# in King And Queen

"I am so fucking tired of you walking away from me" Oryon growled menacingly into my ear and picked me up with a steely arm around my waist, pulling me into the alleyway to cross into the back parking lot.

I'm serious, get the fuck off me" He twisted me around and pinned me against the brick wall, the rainy wall coated my back in wetness. Oryon spread my legs apart and made me put them around his waist. "Ugh, stop!" I begged but he ignited my senses, silencing me with a brutal kiss to my mouth.
