The wind was a torrent of darkness along the gusty trees. The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon the cloudy sees, the road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor, and the highwayman came riding up to the old inn door...
Emerald, the daughter of a poor innkeeper, spends her days hidden away, either serving the vile men that gamble and drink in her father's inn, or caring for her violent and abusive father.
Never having met another soul, beside the men at the Inn, Emerald was lonely. That is, until one night when a strange man appeared at her window, and her whole life changed forever.
I do not own the plot of this story. I simply got the idea from my favorite poem "The Highwayman " by Alfred Noyes. However, everything else, including names, are mine.
I added some details to the poem that were never mentioned in it, deal with it!

The Curse of the Silenced Wolf
**WARNING: This book does have some dark themes to it that revolve around abuse, rape etc. So please do not read if these themes are triggers for you** Four...That was her name or rather number of servant she was. She arrived at the Valley pack as a child with no name and no voice just wrapped in cloth and a strange necklace around her neck. Raised by the abusive Alpha, Four did not see any future for herself. What she thought would be a death sentence from a heist gone wrong, leaving her in the Alpha King's dungeon awaiting death for treason turned out to uncover more truths and secrets than she ever expected. ********* 'I cowered in the corner of the dark and cold cell. There was nothing but utter silence around me. It was deafening. My ears perked as I heard hissing sounds come from the vent and it made me feel weak and the door to the dungeon open. I could smell something but couldn't tell what the vapors released from the vents were burning my nostrils. I could hear foot steps drawing to my cell. The lights flicked on and I squinted to see a tall and broad figuring standing at my cell door, unlocking it, and walking in. The aura this man was giving out was making it hard not to tremble. I quickly stood up and bowed. "What is your name" he bellowed kinda muffled. I panicked and quickly remembered that the guards had not checked me before putting me in here. I pulled out my speech device and began typing...I looked up for a split second just to see a fist plummeting towards me and everything became fuzzy. I could hear screams but could not make out what was being said. Everything grew darker and darker before eventually everything was all black and my world faded...' ~~~~~~~ None of the remarks made in this story are real.

Spiral Knot (An Office Dark Romance)
My gown hiked up my thighs, brushing the edge of my hips. Fuck. All I had underneath were thin panties - and he knew it. "What are you doing?" I whispered, breath catching in my throat. "Look at me." "I don't want to." My eyes locked on the front door behind him like it was my last escape route. "Daphne," he said, voice razor-sharp, low, commanding. "Look. At. Me." Reluctantly... slowly... my gaze shifted. First, the grey eye. Stormy. Intense. Then the hazel. Warm. Piercing. Then both. And I drowned. "Ask," he whispered. "I know you have questions." I licked my lips. Softly. Absentmindedly. And his eyes dropped.." They stayed there - on my lips - far too long. He didn't even try to look away. My heart hammered. "The tattoos..." I breathed, gaze flicking to the ink sprawled across his chest. "When did you get them?" "When I was eighteen," he said, voice quiet. "Some hole-in-the-wall shop in Paris." I leaned in, just slightly. "What do they mean?" His eyes darkened. "A bunch of bad words. Bad things." ...Can I touch it?" His mouth curled. Slow. Wicked. "Go for it." ♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤ Daphne Hawthorne was living her best life as a recent graduate until she met a mysterious Spanish man with hazel eyes and a flirty smile.

Three years later, fate drops a near-impossible twist in her lap: a new boss walks in with Gabriel's face. Only he isn't Gabriel-he's Gabriel's twin, the complete opposite in manner and morals.

Dare to Play
A girl with emerald green eyes sat reading by the moonlight peacefully. That had been her routine every night before the librarian wound up his battered old library. Until one day, out of nowhere, all her hope of peace was lost forever. Odd encounters. Unexpected threats. Immediate mortal perils. Ancient creatures. Danger looms at every corner, as her past resurfaces. Azalea is forced to face her long-forgotten fears - but will she brave it all alone? * "What happened?" he asked in a hurry. He knelt down beside her, and cautiously put a hand on her shoulder. She didn't look up; her sleeve was damp with tears. And... blood? "Hey, don't cry!" He winced almost instantly. "Jeez, that sounds like something my mum would say to me." She huffed a short laugh, but returned to gloom at once. "Why did you scream? Your dad was worried." He left out the part where he'd almost died of a heart attack. She didn't reply for a while. "It's - a long story," she whispered finally. "I can't tell you right now. It's got too many pieces of my past, and you wouldn't understand. But just tell him that... the Nahari have returned. For me." #strangerstolovers #friendstolovers #denial #past #revenge #war

Worlds Apart [COMPLETE]
Nothing could compare to the way her gaze made me feel. The flames licking my skin and the raging fire in my veins was way more bearable. The moment our eyes connected, it was like my body found a new kind of flame. The kind that only she was able to draw from me. I've never felt my body being set ablaze like this before. One day here in this new town and I was already losing my mind over my new neighbour. A really pretty, hot neighbour. Her long, wavy platinum blonde hair, pale skin and icy blue eyes that seemed to stare depths into my soul and keep me frozen in place. I couldn't seem to leave. Her pink lips were parted slightly as she tried to catch her breath. I swallowed. One step forward and I could hold her. One tilt of my head and I could kiss her lips. If only I could have a taste of those lips- I have to get out of here. I turned and left, my heart nearly overpowering my brain to stop and go back to her. Only one thought kept me going. Who could ever love a monster? -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ Hey guys! I'm back with a new story and I've had this idea in my head for quite some time and I'm glad to finally be posting it! Firstly, I got inspiration for this book from a Korean drama called "Goblin" and it's one of the best dramas I've come across after so long. Secondly, no reuploading or copying or plagiarising or whatever it is that is illegal because I will slice your neck and leave you hanging to die :) Jk, maybe. Not really. Thirdly, please enjoy this book and leave comments! Sincerely, Janice GoldShaken *Created, Published & Completed in Year 2017* (Editing Complete ~2018)Complete
