For centuries, Damon has lived in the shadows, cursed to exist in isolation, haunted by betrayal, and consumed by a darkness he can't escape. His life is defined by control and secrecy, a never-ending cycle of survival without hope of redemption-until Alina enters his life.

Alina's world is ordinary, yet her heart yearns for something more. Drawn to Damon's quiet strength and the mystery surrounding him, she soon finds herself facing secrets, curses, and an ancient darkness that will test her courage and loyalty. Despite the danger, she sees something beyond Damon's guarded exterior: the potential for love, a bond that neither time nor shadows can sever.

Together, they confront Damon's past, facing enemies and curses that threaten to tear them apart. As their love grows, Damon and Alina must choose : Will they succumb to the darkness, or will their bond prove strong enough to survive-and even banish-the shadows ?

Bound by fate, tested by darkness, and redeemed by love, this is a journey of two souls who defy even the deepest fears to find a light worth fighting for.

The Darkness Between Us by MountainGirl39
17 parts Ongoing Mature
Liliana has spent her life running from the darkness that once consumed her. She has worked hard to rebuild herself, burying the scars from her past-both physical and emotional-beneath layers of routine and solitude. But no matter how far she runs, the shadows of her trauma linger, resurfacing as nightmares and fractured memories. As her 30th birthday approaches, her carefully constructed life begins to unravel. Haunted by a mysterious past, a protector who hides in the shadows has been watching over her for more than a decade. Adrian, a shifter whose own transformation was born out of pain and brutality, has pledged to protect Liliana at all costs. But his love for her has grown into something darker-an obsession. Torn between his desire to protect her from the men who once hurt her and his fear that she will choose another, Adrian's grip tightens as Liliana's past threatens to return. With unknown enemies hunting her, a dangerous secret lying dormant within, and Adrian's possessive love lurking in the background, Liliana's fight for control over her life grows more desperate. The line between protector and predator begins to blur as Adrian's obsession deepens, and Liliana's true power edges closer to the surface. In this haunting tale of love, trauma, and the supernatural, Darkness Between Us explores the fragile boundaries between protection and possession, the lingering grip of fear, and the power that lies hidden within the most broken of souls. Will Liliana reclaim her life, or will she become a prisoner of both her past and the man who claims to love her? Jp

Tell me how you are the only one that I am equivalent to in my eternal life, so I should rely solely on you? He raises an eyebrow. "All of those would be sufficient options, but no." I scoff in response before asking, "then... what are you going to do with me?" He reaches out and traces the features of my jaw and face. He replies, "well that will depend on you." "Me?" I ask warily. He moves a strand of hair out of my face and continues to caress my cheek. "Yes," he exhales. "I don't want you to hate me, Alina.

Enslaved to Icarus (The Pariah Book 1) by shaziyakhanwrites
6 parts Ongoing
"The curse entailed that only the blood that sought yours, can free you of the curse, until then you shall be asleep." Icarus smirked at her words, he knew where this was going as she continued, "Because your blood is-" "Poisonous and repulsive." She nodded. "So, it's unbelievable that she was the one whose blood sought yours, a human, but it did, or perhaps it was your blood that sought hers...," she mulled over it. "But it's wrong, against the natural-" she observed his gaze. Talking about some natural order of the universe was not something that would befit his ears, given that he was the very example of the abomination formed against the natural laws and order of the blood. ~~ No one knew who he was, or where he came from? But he did, and he conquered all the existing realms, hidden and not so hidden from the human world, and built his kingdom upon the ruins of his enemies. Yet, he remained a pariah. Always was. Always will be. He was Icarus. The Monster. The Legend. The Evil. The Pariah. ~~ Everyone knew her to be a scared little kitten. She looked like one too with her snowy white hair, cerulean blue eyes, and a questionable fate. ~~ What was supposed to be a ridiculous adventure, suggested by her equally ridiculous brave friend turned her life into a whirlwind of crazy and bloody, when she stumbled and accidentally awakened the sleeping, ravenous, and absolutely psychotic monster, Icarus. What made her the lucky woman to jostle him out of his centuries of sleep? As a thanks, she was rewarded with the title of being his most beloved SLAVE. Dive into their journey as we unravel their ribbons of fate, and immerse ourselves into their complicated relationship. ~~ This book is a dark fantasy romance novel and Icarus is an original fantasy character that I created. He is not a vampire or a werewolf but something entirely new and interesting.
