Amelia;
The shadows are following me. And along with them, follows blood-red eyes, dark hair, sharp canines, and a scorching touch.
I thought I was hallucinating...but not anymore.

Ares;
I lost my fated one not once or twice, but multiple times. Seeing her again made me long for her smile, her touch, her scent, and crave all the moments we had lost.
But I won't lose her...not in this lifetime.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I felt his finger trail up from my arm...slowly...gently...up to my neck, and my head moved of its own accord, allowing him more access. His finger found its way to my face and he cupped my cheek.
Surprisingly, his hand was firm, warm, and gentle.
His eyes looked at me with so much sincerity and warmth.
He leans into my neck, and I stiffen up as I feel his sharp teeth grazing my neck.
I expected him to bite me so I tightly shut my eyes.
"Your fragrance bewitches my senses with an intoxicating allure."
I didn't think he'd speak, and I most definitely did not expect his voice to be so...deep and hoarse.
My mind finally registers the words he said, and so I opened my mouth to speak but a scream escapes instead as I feel him dig in his fangs.

Silent Flame by CarolynneNelson
24 parts Complete Mature
He was the nightmare she feared... and the only reason she's alive. Their worlds are at war. Their bloodlines are enemies. Silvia's escape from captivity was only possible because a TaintedBlood helped her. But when their worlds collide again, the line between ally and enemy blurs to a connection that defies all reason-and threatens to shatter their worlds. But he's not the same. And neither is she. "We are the night," he murmured, his thumb tracing the line of my jaw. "We are the shadows, the whispers in the dark. We are the predators, and the world is our prey." His eyes, which had always been able to see straight into my soul, seemed to glow with an inner light-not the warm, comforting light I had always found there, but something colder, more otherworldly. His gaze, normally a striking, gentle green, was now blood crimson, like that of a predator. I found myself unable to look away, even as a chill ran down my spine. "And you, my love," he breathed, leaning in close. "Are our prey. Yours is the blood that sings to us, calls to our eternal hunger. Yet you are so much more than food to me. I am drawn to your spirit, your fire. But more than that... you're the one I chose. The one I need." His voice was reverent. Like prayer. Like mourning. A tear slipped down my cheek. I wasn't sure when I'd started crying. It felt like I'd been crying for days, years, centuries. I shook my head, "No. No, I'm not... I can't be..." But even as I said the words, I felt a sickening sense of recognition, of inevitability. The dreams, the paranoia, the sense that something was deeply, fundamentally wrong... it all fell into place with a clarity that was almost blinding. Khali's hand slid to the back of my neck, his fingers tangling in my hair. He pulled me close, his forehead resting against mine. "Don't fight it," he whispered, his breath mingling with mine. "Don't fight what you are, what you're meant to be. Embrace it. Embrace me."
MY HYBRID MATE by jennyy_writess
74 parts Complete Mature
FOR THE DETAILED DESCRIPTION, READ PROLOGUE. As the description was too lengthy. i couldn't write it here. :) _______________________________ "Sera, I am not the one to repeat my words. So you better say yes in front of the whole kingdom when I ask you to mark me," Damien said, glaring at me. "Never," I spat. "I will never mark you, you fucking hybrid," I said with all the anger inside me. "Then you leave me no choice," he said as his eye color shifted from hazel to a deep crimson red. His vampire side had taken over. He took a step closer, and my heart started pounding in my chest. I knew exactly what was going to happen next. This time, it was his vampire side. Last time, it was his wolf. Each time I resisted him, he hurt me, made me regret it. And now I knew he was going to compel me, force the answer he wanted out of me. I quickly shut my eyes tightly so he couldn't use his power against me. There was no point in running, I was already injured, already weak. A cold, dark laugh filled the room, sending a shiver down my spine. "My, my, look how afraid you are, my Sera," he mocked. I could feel him getting closer, his presence suffocating. Suddenly, he yanked my hair back, hard. I screamed in pain, but I refused to open my eyes. "Be my good girl and open your eyes, Seraphina," he commanded, his voice low and dangerous. "Never," I growled in defiance. I couldn't believe the Moon Goddess had mated me to this monster. I despised him. Every inch of my soul hated him. "Give me all the pain you want, but I will never obey you," I spat, my voice filled with hatred. He chuckled darkly. "Then, as you wish," he murmured. I barely had time to process his words before sharp pain pierced my neck. His fangs sank into my flesh with full force, tearing through my skin. I let out a blood-curdling scream as agony burned through me. My eyes snapped open involuntarily, locking onto his, and in that moment, I realized I had made a terrible mistake.
Verge of Insanity by Honeyvine
44 parts Complete Mature
My dream continued the one I'd been having for the past couple of nights. I ran, gasping for breath, through the familiar woods from a dark figure behind me. The faster I tried to run, the slower I seemed to go, until it was like I was running in place. I knew I needed to run. I was terrified of what the figure would do when he caught me. "Mara Leigh," a deep, smooth voice called. It was almost hypnotic. That was new. The figure had never spoke before now. I ran as fast as I could go, eyes searching the forest floor for a big stick or something that I could use to defend myself. "Mara Leigh!" the voice came again, this time more insistent. The forest slowly started to fade and I started to awake to someone shaking my shoulders. "Beau?" I mumbled, turning my head to the side. What's Beau doing in my room this time of night? Why is he shaking me? "Do not call me that name." My eyes flew open as I jumped at the voice from my dream. A face was right in front of mine, and just like the voice, it wasn't Beau. Before I could form a scream, a hand covered my mouth. I tried to bite it but I couldn't get my mouth to open. He's too strong. I started to use my whole body to try to get away, but he crawled on top of me, holding me down. I pulled the hidden knife out from under my pillow and slashed as hard as I could at him, but he just grabbed my wrist and squeezed it until the pain made me drop the knife. Then he grabbed both my hands in one of his and held them over my head. He held me down while I struggled. I grunted and moved and tried to kick and scream, but I only wore myself out. Exhausted, I stopped thrashing and let the tears flow freely down my cheeks. I didn't know what to do, so I just tried to prepare myself for whatever was coming.

"Fuck, baby. You can't say things like that to me. I want to, also. Trust me." His hand snakes down my body until he enters two of his fingers into my wet center. I can only moan in response. "However," he kisses my neck possessively, finding the right spot to drive me crazy. "I need to build you up to that." He pushes his fingers in and out of me, hitting deeper and deeper as his strokes become longer and harder and faster. "You feel that? My fingers deep in your pussy that's dripping for me?" He licks the side of my neck as my breaths come out in short pants. "My dick is going to stretch you out so much more. When I finally fuck you, you're going to be sore for days. And you're going to love it." ---------- Thea Brooks, an 18-year-old college student, lives her life by a schedule. She has school, homework, her job at the Coffee shop where she drinks way too much caffeine to be healthy, and the rest of the time she is watching her little sister while her mother is at work. She thinks that everything will remain the same as she starts her college classes, but that all changes when a new friend of hers introduces her to an attractive guy that she can't seem to get out of her head. Grayson Dark, a 22-year-old Alpha of his pack, has been searching for his mate since he turned 16. All hope is lost until one of his pack mates strolls into his home with the most magnificent scent- his mate's scent. After only slightly maiming his pack mate, it is revealed that his mate is close by- and human. Without understanding the supernatural world existing around her, Thea will have to learn to look past Grayson's faults- mainly his possessiveness and anger issues- while staying out of danger from unknown threats and learning her place at Grayson's side. Oh... and keeping her grades up. How hard can that be?

Part 2 UPDATED WEEKLY for current readers He finally released my legs, allowing me to slide down his body until my feet hit the floor, but that was as far as he let me go. Heat was radiating off him, scorching me all the way down my spine as he held me tightly against him. His quick breaths were falling on the back of my neck with a tingling warmth that brought goosebumps to the surface of my skin. Placing one large hand on my shoulder, he wrapped my long brown hair around his other. Gently, he tugged on my dark mane, pulling my head to the side and exposing the tender column of my neck. Bringing his nose down to the crook there, he inhaled deeply, a rumbling "mmmm" escaping his lips. My mouth went dry. "Are-" I swallowed. "Are you going to mark me?" I manage in a stuttered whisper.

Perfect Pet by Rain_Wishes

"You think I don't want you?" He snarled, his bulky arms creating a cage around me, preventing me from moving an inch. His chest pressed tightly to mine and I could feel it move with his rabid breathing. "Darling, you could never be more wrong." A cool hand worked it's way up to my neck and with gentle insistence, had me tilt it so he had a clear view of my throat. "Do you know how hard it is not to sink my fangs into you right here, right now and stake my claim?" He murmered, cool breath hitting the tender flesh as he ran his nose along the column of my throat, breathing in my scent. "Make sure no one takes what's mine." *** Pet: The bonded human companion to a vampire and their main source of blood. It's a title Eden Hemmings knows she shouldn't want. Vampires may look human and act human but they aren't. Possessing a dual nature and ungodly good looks, they are the definition of dangerous.

But with her brother away from home and stuck dealing with their over controlling mother, Eden just wants to escape. To be free to do her own thing. When a letter to the elusive Rigryce Academy comes in the mail, it has to be fate. Right? Being a pet isn't that easy, however. They are a reflection of their master and as such, must have an extensive knowledge of politics and social etiquette. Anything less than perfect is unacceptable. A challenge for a girl that has trouble just looking her vampire classmates in the eyes. She'll have to get over it if she wants to impress them in the hopes of getting chosen. Being weak won't work and the last thing she needs is to be sent home. Maybe the intimidating vampire she keeps finding will help? ***There are some MM scenes.

Alpha's Pregnant Omega by Kelenne02
130 parts Complete Mature
After living in hellish prison for 16 years, you're finally rescued. But what do you do when you soon realise that there is now a thread, a connection to the warden you've escaped from? BLURB: He could clearly see the way the water droplets ran down her back. The brown curls, almost black due to being wet, stuck to it, gave such an alluring contrast to her skin that seemed to glow in the moonlight. She turned, causing her ample breasts to come into view. A single droplet hung precariously from a pebbled nipple. Was his eyesight always this sharp? It appeared like a pearl, begging to be licked away. He groaned as he could almost taste the cool freshness on his tongue before it was replaced with the heat of her flushed skin. Unzipping his jeans caused his member to spring forth, drenched in the constant precum that flowed. Just the thought of sucking on her breast made him groan in frustrated desperation. He buried his face between the fleshly orbs. Biting and licking, he was pleased to see his marks on her skin. A fierce desire to possess came over him, and even his wolf growled at the feeling. How is it that she smells even better than the soap she just used? Other Omegas used the same kind, yet their smell would cause his stomach to feel upset. Inhaling again, he pinned her against a tree. The same tree he was hiding behind before. Lifting her, he devoured her lips while wrapping her long legs around his waist. Slightly bending his knees, he entered her in one deep thrust. She was hot and tight. So tight that if it wasn't for her juices, he wouldn't be able to move. Gripping himself tighter, his imagination became wild. Just thinking about her breathy moans or her screams of pleasure caused a shudder to pass through him as he came into the tissue he had thoughtfully grabbed.
In Shadows of Night by dstry0515

I woke to a sudden breeze invading the warmth from the heavy blanket that caressed my skin. Here, alone with my thoughts, the still, calm quiet in the atmosphere is almost painful. I feel suffocated in the clingy, static air. In quiet, still moments like these, I can almost feel Him. I don't know who "Him" is, but I can feel his presence. It's almost calming, especially on fearful, anxiety fueled nights. Usually, he was the strongest when I had a nightmare. The nightmares weren't as common now, but, right after everything happened, I was having them every night. I'd wake up and swear I was drenched in blood, my eyes and lips sticky, my nose filled with the smell of iron and fuel. After everything, that's when Him first came. From there, he just never left. I can usually sense when Him is near. Today, though, his presence is stronger. I can almost feel Him next to me, weighing down the mattress. Some nights, I roll over and imagine how he looks, envision his smile or the sparkle in his eyes. He's never there and I'm left clutching to the thought that he exists, staring into empty air. Tonight, though, I swear I can reach out and touch him. Extending my hand gently, I sweep my hand out into the darkness and meet an inexplicable warmth. A scream rips from my lungs as hands cover my face and two icy blue eyes stare back at me, daring me to speak again. A soft cloth caressed my nose and mouth before I felt myself fade into bed.
