"I should kill you-I might have to kill you," I said weakly, the handle to this dagger gripped tightly in my hand.

"Then kill me, fulfill your prophecy," Thaddeus responded, and my heart stilled at those words, my breath catching in my chest.

"But-I can't," my voice broke.

It was then that he filled the distance between us, placing a hand over mine, causing my grip on the small blade to loosen, letting it fall to the ground.

"Then don't."

Orion was meant to drown when a storm took him at sea-but instead, a siren's magic spared his life. 

Pulled aboard Captain Wraith's ship, Orion soon feels an unexpected connection to the ocean...and to the mysterious force that saved him. As strange powers begin to awaken, he's caught between his shifting feelings towards the captain and this cryptic prophecy tied to his "curse."

Lines begin to blur, and hate just may turn into love-and disobedience into loyalty.

Torn between the captain's relentless hunt for sirens and his own destiny, Orion must navigate a dangerous path, where every choice could lead to betrayal or salvation.

The Black Curse (Rough Draft) by author_namoore
2 parts Complete
Theory, a warrior of the Astorian Guard stationed in Rhettick, harbors a dream to escape the prying eyes of a society that wouldn't understand his true nature. As a Carrier, Theory faces the ordeal of a heat every moon, a dangerous anomaly that must be concealed at all costs, lest it paint a target on his back. Theory's life takes an unexpected turn when he's offered a mission that could secure his future: deliver a crucial package to the Elven Embassy. The promise of enough coin to fulfill his dream is tantalizing, but there's a catch: his partner is Veniro, the one Shifter Theory loathes with every fiber of his being. Why? He's cold, aloof, and worst of all...a Breeder. As Theory and Niro delve deeper into their task, they uncover truths that suggest their mission might be a facade for something much larger and more sinister than they had anticipated. The Black Curse weaves a tale of forbidden romance between two natural-born enemies, thrust together in a dance of destiny and danger. As they navigate a path riddled with deceit, hidden agendas, and an attraction that defies their nature, Theory and Niro must confront not only the enemies that lurk in the shadows but also the verities within their own hearts. In a world where being different is a perilous affair, their forbidden bond might be the key to unraveling the mysteries of their mission and the only chance to prevent the looming catastrophe that threatens to engulf Astoria. Or it just might bring them to the feet of the mad High King: Killian Innis. This book contains high heat (in some cases, quite literally). It is intended for mature audiences.

30 parts Complete Mature

Alex Shade is a dream-eater. A weak variety of incubus, dream-eaters need the energy from human dreams to survive. Alex has a special affinity for nightmares, but it makes his life a living hell: in order to absorb the energy, he has to experience the dream. He's learned to turn this to his advantage, though, and sells his services as a "nightmare doctor" to those whose sleep is tormented by the inventions of the unconscious mind. One day he's hired by a man whose dreams are worse than any he's encountered before, and Alex is torn between a desire to help and the need to preserve his own sanity. But when he's finally pushed into making a choice, he discovers that he may not have one, after all. - [Advisory/Warnings: This story contains strong language, some violence, and some sex.
