Ivory Brine, the adopted daughter of the beleaguered Brine family, stood at the precipice of a union that would secure their financial future. Her betrothal to the enigmatic Billinoer Lucien Blackwood came with a steep price: absolute deference and a cautious distance. Warned to tread carefully lest she offend her new husband, Ivory's curiosity simmered just below the surface. Yet, for the sake of her family, she acquiesced to the terms.
On the night of their wedding, beneath the silvery glow of the full moon, Ivory beheld her groom with a mix of trepidation and fascination. As Lucien Blackwood pledged his vows, his presence seemed to command the very shadows themselves, his eyes gleaming with an unnerving intensity. The air vibrated with an otherworldly energy, as if the darkness had coalesced into a living, breathing entity. Ivory's heart raced as Lucien's lips brushed against hers, the touch sparking a shiver that coursed through her very being. Little did she know, this was only the beginning of a journey into the heart of darkness itself.

The Erinyes's Bond
The woman standing before Kyren stole every ounce of cognition from him. She was stunning, the moon paled in comparison. The top of her head would not even graze his chin. Her height did not stop her from being imposing. A dark blue vest clung to her chest reveling taught skin over lean muscle. The black leather pants hung low on her hips, exposing soft flesh. Her gaze roamed the crowd, surveying the stupidity around her. After a moment she finally turned attention in his direction. When her gaze met his, it stopped heart. The dark blue pools shone in the dim light, dark as the night sky. She blew a strand of silver out of her face. Kyren's wolf surged to the surface, and they growled. They itched to touch her skin, bury our face in her hair, to feel its softness and inhale its sweet scent. They wanted to stare into her night eyes. She needed to be theirs. ---- Eris's eyes found Kyren quickly. He pushed through crowd, pulling his jacket off and threw it to the stocky blonde at his side. She spoke in low frantic words. He ignored her and climbed in the ring. Shade tugged his shirt over his head and Eris's heart skipped. This man was built like a bear. Kyren's physique was reminiscent of strong man instead of a body builder. His pectorals were covered in a fine swath of dark hair that trailed down his belly disappearing into his jeans. Jeans that hugged his thighs tightly, thighs like a rugby player. Kyren looked towards her quickly, a smirk filling his face, sharp canines peaking beneath his lips. He wasn't human, but she wanted him regardless.

"Your reputation as a vigilante will be exposed and above all...your father will die at your hands. All because of your stupidity and selfishness of taking up a mask to wear at night yet you don't even think about the consequences" "What is the proposition?", she muttered under her breath gently. "Oh well, you will stay here with me, in this mansion with me." "Why do you want me to stay here?!", she questioned in confusion. "Do you remember the night before? On the alleyway, you killed my cousin." She choked on her tea as she heard this and tried to hide her laughter."Oh....I'm sorry...but on a serious note, he was not a nice person. He kidnapped and murdered children." He sat next to her and started to talk, "You're right, he deserved it", he chuckled."Please consider the proposition." It's my original story.

Mystery Man Revealed (Now Published so sample only)
He saw her that day, the first day she started working for his sick aunt. She was bubbly, vivacious, slightly crazy and stunningly beautiful. She made his aunt laugh and smile, like she hadn't done in years. She saw him that day too. She smiled and waved at him as though pleased to see him. He did nothing. He knew then that she was the innocent destined to lose her life to give him his immortality. The following day he had the windows to his sanctuary tinted so she couldn't see in. He could see out though. For the next six months before his aunt died, he watched her every day. At the funeral he couldn't take his eyes off her sombre figure.

Not The Alpha's
He groaned, he couldn't think of her in that dress without imagining her without it. "Fuck!" He groaned again, not so loudly that he would be heard by another. He looked down at the tent in his pants and was extremely grateful he was alone right now, though he would have preferred being in the privacy of his room so he can take care of it without coming off as some creep to any person who comes across him here in the woods. For some reason he remembered her scent, it was so vividly hitting his senses as though she was here right now. Her wonderful scent somehow worsened his boner. He made a low sound like a groan in his throat. He was this close to reaching into his pants, that or ditching Ken's wedding and making a run for home. "Lorde?" He heard a familiar, melodious female voice call. A voice he could sleep next to, wake up to, listen to for eternity. The voice was so soft he thought he had imagined it for a minute and groaned, the bulge in his pants growing. "Lorde?" The voice called louder totally snapping him back to his immediate environment. Lorde opened his eyes, jerked back and turned around to face her, "Louise!" He was shocked that someone was with him and it was infact her, the woman he was trying to get away from. He hadn't imagined her voice after all.
Eclipsed by fate
"Marry me, Cassie. Fulfill the promise you made to me. Become the demon's bride." His voice was deep, laced with something ancient, something unbreakable. He stepped closer, his burning crimson eyes never leaving hers. Her breath hitched. Her heart pounded in her chest, fear and something unexplainable tangling together. "And if I refuse?" she whispered. A smirk curled on his lips, dark and knowing. "Then I will make you ready... but you will marry me." She wanted to call him insane, to tell him he had the wrong person. But the way he looked at her-like he had waited lifetimes just for this moment-shook her to her core. He spoke of promises she didn't remember, of a past she couldn't recall. Yet, something inside her ached at his words, a strange sense of déjà vu wrapping around her like a ghostly embrace. What happens when a demon claims you as his lost lover, swearing that you once vowed to marry him?

At eighteen, they are Matched in a sacred bond, their fates entwined to protect the world from the monstrous Revenants that spill through the Rifts. Cai Athren was supposed to be the perfect heir-born into a dynasty of elite Guides, destined to pair with an equally powerful Esper. But there's a problem. His hypersensitive senses reject every candidate, their presence unbearable. The Academy whispers about his unmatched status, and his family is losing patience. If he doesn't choose a partner, the Athren name will be tarnished forever. Then Thalassa Riven walks in. An orphan. A stray. A wildcard. The first Esper whose presence doesn't revolt him-but instead draws him in like a tidal pull. She is S-Rank, unnaturally powerful, and undeniably dangerous. The Academy doesn't trust her. The Vanguard watches her too closely. And Cai's family refuses to accept an Esper with no lineage. But the moment their Synchronization begins, it's unlike anything the world has seen before. Their bond is too strong, too intense, too raw. And as whispers of the Riftborn King echo through Thalassa's mind, she begins to wonder-was she Matched with Cai by fate? Or is she something else entirely? Because in a world where power is inherited, not chosen... their bond might just break everything.
