The Devil's Shadow is a 130K word Theological Dark Fantasy which pays homage to Rice's modern classic Interview with the Vampire in its frame-story construction and retells the story of "Shade" a first-century Egyptian recruited by Nephillim loyal to Lucifer to be their agent on Earth, but whom chooses his own path and plays both sides in their Angelic cold war. Shade's journey through the ages from Egypt to modern  America explores themes of love, loyalty, and loss.
---
Shade is a vampire, spawn of the Nephillim loyal to Lucifer, and the Devil wants him as his agent on Earth. But Shade rejects him, instead playing both sides in the Angelic cold war. In retaliation, Lucifer threatens to take that which Shade loves most. When Shade encounters two people in New York, one the very image of his late wife, it clear enough to Lucifer who Shade loves, but right or wrong, a rescue mission against the forces of Hell is the only way for Shade to protect the one he truly loves.
---
Rated 'M' for drug references and mentions of drug abuse, scenes of sexuality, strong language, supernatural and vampire fantasy violence, and some gun violence. Warning: brief scenes of non-consensual sex, and references to suicide.

Radicle (Terminal trilogy #2, can stand alone) by Crow-caller

Nichael is an angel. And that's all you really need to know about him- he follows the rules. He loves Michael, his leader. He fights demons when he is called on, and otherwise tills the earth of Heaven. But then he is sent to Hell to spy on Michael's behalf, and there he meets a mysterious demon who seems intent to make him remember something he knows he shouldn't. He also gets pulled under the metaphorical wing of the egomaniacal Stacy Baruth, a possible criminal and certain mastermind, who guides Nichael to demons who don't fear angels- they worship them. Caught between who he is expected to be and who he used to be, Nichael is confused, trusted with too much power, and overall, a threat to his loved ones. As cults grow, friends grow distant, and he falls in love, nothing is clearer than one simple fact: Nichael is an angel. Nothing more, nothing less. -∆- Now featuring character art by me for most of the main cast! more coming, too! FANTASTIC cover done by @summergirl21! -∆- About identity, names, gender, family, and belief. What a mixed bag of fun! Technically a sequel, stands alone. I'd say the suggested age is 14+ (why does wattpad only have mature/not mature?!?). There is some violence and language as the story goes along, as well as sexual references. Also, way more light hearted than the description suggests! There is humor. (and, because this is the world's longest bio, no, Radicle is not a hip misspelling of Radical.... google it guys!)

Halo Of Horns (Discontinued) by slumberingtales

"This is the kind of secret that burns through the bottom of whatever box you lock it up in" • "Stay still." He took his sharp talon and moved aside a piece of her blonde- practically white- hair, still damp from the bath, and tossed it over her shoulder. His claw glided down her slender neck to her shoulder and slipped under the strap of her nightgown, giving a teasing tug. "This-" His deep voice flooded her frail being, "is very cute." Individual threads slowly snapped as he lifted his claw, taking the strap with him. "What are you doing?" She asked, her small frame trembling against his much larger body, which satisfied a deep-rooted desire within him. "Do you always wear such provocative clothing?" He muttered in husky annoyance. ~•~•~ Irina is the first human born in the underworld- an utter mystery.

My Dear Charlotte by kedvamp

"Why should I trust you?" I asked him, shivering as we stood tucked away in our own little shadow. He was standing much too close for comfort, his body heat working like a furnace to warm me up. I was almost tempted to press my fingers to his chest to see if they would warm that way, but didn't dare touch him. "I don't need your trust, Charlotte. At least, not yet." He said, a self-assured tone lacing his voice. "But I'll have it soon enough. Once you see what I have to show you, you'll not be able to leave my side." What would you do if the Devil claimed YOU...? Charlotte Young has been nothing for her entire life- she blends into the background, at least in her own mind. But with her stunning looks and fiery nature, she's been gaining more attention than she bargained for. When she suddenly meets a handsome stranger who swears he has some sort of dark claim on her, her world is turned upside down. Dealing with boys is no walk in the park, but throw in a possessive King of the Underworld, a dozen demons, more angels than you can count, and an enemy on the rise, Charlotte has a recipe for disaster. Somehow, someway, she will find a way through.

The human race stands on the brink of extinction; the result of a plague the likes of which the world has never seen. When salvation comes, it isn't a miracle cure created by science or our government that saves us. No, our saviors are monsters. Jane appears to be nothing special. In fact, she's a sad sight to behold, afflicted by the sorrow of her tragic past and failing marriage. The young wife and mother of two finds herself just as terrified as every other soul when humanity faces doom. Yet, when hope seems lost, Jane does something even her estranged husband fails to--she fights. And she's not alone. David and his companions are what our world has dismissed as mere legend. Their duty to the human race brings them across the country--and they all know it is no coincidence when they cross paths with Jane. As it happens, Jane is special. She's destined to be the very center of our world's fate. With her heart divided and monsters from every nightmare seeking her out, Jane will quickly learn the greatest war is the one within. So what will she do when they realize she's the greatest monster of them all? ✦Gods & Monsters is the first book of the Gods & Monsters trilogy, an emotional and epic tale of one woman's battle against true monsters while she endures her greatest fight--the war with her own inner-demon. It's a story of loss, tragedy, war, good vs evil--a not so simple love-triangle--and supernatural beings like you've never seen them before.✦ Warning: this is only a sample

Darkness and Light (Nico di Angelo) by SrourS

Black and White, Darkness and Light (Nico di Angelo x Fem! Reader) ''The loneliest people are the kindest. The saddest people are the brightest. The most damaged people are the wisest. All because they do not wish to see anyone else suffer the way they do.'' - Unknown Nico di Angelo is always represented as the darkness. Everyone at camp is scared by him because his father is the god of the underworld and represents death. He doesn't talk to anyone, doesn't play with anyone and doesn't want anything to do with anyone. He's afraid that people he cares about will disappear and hurt him. Just like the death of his sister that left a hole inside him. ''Our fate is that of a tragic love story. And yet, here I am, unable to let him go. Directing the both of us to our appalling end.'' Y/n L/n is described as the light, the magic and the happiness. But on the inside, she's just as broken as any other demigod. She's been living with the feeling of loss present in her, as if she is already dead. But she doesn't want anyone to see that, so she makes an effort to be happy and bright to everyone. She takes care and worries for everyone. Sometimes though, she loses control of her emotions and goes back to what she used to be: a monster! One day, while Y/n is helping her mother, she receives the visit of an old friend. He is pleading her to help the camp Half Blood. She immediately leaves her mother behind. Through fights, magic, tears, strategies and practices, she will find something new. Something that will appear only when a certain death boy is around. Is it love? Or, maybe, simply curiosity? They are just like darkness and light, two completely different people with a similar past. But we do say that opposites attract, right? This story will contain mature things such as sexual scenes, violence and swearing! Read at your own risks!

The Cursed Pharaoh's Bride by MHanonymous1

Carolina Mercado is just your average college student with your average college student problems - submitting assignments, struggling to pay rent, dodging annoying roommates. But that all changes when she takes a trip to Egypt in attempt to find some adventure. Instead she finds a cursed tomb, and unknowingly reawakens an ancient feud. It's not until she returns home to New York City where she meets a certain young, new CEO to a multi-million dollar company that she realize she can't run away from the mummy's curse forever. ....................................................................................................................................... Bony arms wrap around me and drag me backwards. As if a switch was flipped, I can suddenly feel my body again and I rip myself away from the monster. The second I turn around, I'm faced by the same decaying face I saw in the tomb as well as in the bar. I slowly take a step back, but I soon find I can't go further when a wall suddenly appears behind me out of no where. The mummy slowly steps towards me and with every step he takes, he changes. His skin regenerates and the paleness fades away. He's nearly a step away from me when I start to notice a certain familiar chiseled jawline, familiar deliciously full lips, and familiar aristocratic nose. His devilish red eyes change into an icy blue that are piercing my soul. NOTE: Updates every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoon (EST).

Lucifer's Gift by EpsilonAngel

*Book one in the Hell's Company series* Lucifer was the brightest angel in Heaven, But in service of God, he was condemned to darkness. After thousands of years, the darkness took root inside him. ~ Ammi is a flame no one can extinguish Forged from God's holy fire to combat his darkness. A gift made for Lucifer. ~ He clucked his tongue disparagingly, shaking his head, "Tell me your full name." I groaned, running a hand down my face. "Fine. But I'm not explaining it to you." His face told me that I would if he wanted me to, but I soldiered on. "My full first name is Amirykal. Happy?" I muttered. His reaction took me completely by surprise. He blinked slowly at first, processing, then his face split into a wide grin and he threw back his head and laughed uproariously. I was hit with a wave of arousal at the sound of it-it was rumbling and husky, heating me up at the core. "What's so funny?" I grumbled, sure he was laughing at my expense. He looked down, that gorgeous grin still on his chiseled face, showcasing his lovely white teeth. "Oh, Kitten. Your name, Amirykal, do you know its meaning?" He asked, his voice sensual and erotic as he spoke my name. "No-I was found with that name." I answered struggling to keep my voice even as he slowly approached, like a predator would his prey. "Well, Love, I'll tell you. Amirykal means 'gift', or, more exactly, 'a gift from God'." He purred as he got closer and closer, so there was barely a foot between us. "And why is that funny?" I had a very hard time focusing on the conversation at hand with him at this proximity, using that lovely tone. "Because, Amirykal, I am Lucifer. And God made you to be mine." *HIGHEST RANKS*: #1 in Paranormal #2 in Supernatural #7 in Werewolf* *Takes many liberties on Biblical stories and has graphic violence and adult content.

The walls between heaven, hell, and earth no longer exist. There are no more rules, and humans are becoming extinct. Only the strong and the clever will survive. The fate of the world rests on their shoulders. Jacob is missing after sending off his last true tie to earth; into the hands of the devil. Lucifer is fighting for control over a land he despises. The crew is hiding out in faery just trying to survive. Can Jacob save the day? Does he even want to? In this last installment of Jacob's broken mercenaries. All the answers will come to fruition. In a world where you're either the hero or the villain. Lucifer lies heavily in the latter category, but to Tally (behind his wall of indifference), he's just normal. Maybe a little selfish. She desires him and understands him like no other. Does that make her evil, too? How will this story end? There's so many questions, and only two possible outcomes are definite. The end or a new beginning.
