Katherine Bulemore, a noble by birth but treated as little more than a servant by her cruel family, spent her days cleaning grand halls and fetching wine for those who scorned her. Despite her lineage, she was forbidden from enjoying the luxuries her siblings took for granted, her fiery red hair and striking blue eyes a stark contrast to the dim corners where she toiled. One fateful evening, she was summoned to her father's study-a place she rarely entered except to face scorn. To her shock, he informed her she was to wed a stranger, a man whose face was concealed behind a mysterious mask. That man, she learned, was none other than William Vangeance, the enigmatic and powerful captain of the Golden Dawn, whose reputation alone stirred whispers of awe and fear throughout the land.

Ophelia
"I'd jump after you into the pit of fire if I had to, Ophelia. Don't question that, and don't you ever ask me not to." ________________ Lilia thought she knew loneliness. She thought she understood grief. Haunted by a painful past, she kept running-from city to city, never looking back. All she wanted was a place where no one knew her. Then Dominic Brooks walked into her life. Chaotic, intense, and impossible to ignore, he and his makeshift family threatened to shatter every wall she'd built.

I could feel the smooth surface at my back and the heat of his body so close it made my skin burn. My wrists were pinned, and I was trapped. Still, I whispered, "Why are you doing this...?" His voice was low, rough, dangerous. "You play beautifully," he said, his breath ghosting against my skin. "So graceful. So poised. So perfect." For a moment, I almost believed it was a compliment.

But don't bother. You won't fool me." ----------------Complete
A Bouquet of Blood & Roses (Postponed)
He was madness woven into flesh, a tempest crowned in iron laughter, sovereign of cruelty whose joy was measured in blood and broken cries. He walked the earth as if damned by the stars, a shadowed hymn of violence that no scripture dared recite. Yet the moment his gaze fell upon her, the storm faltered. She stood not as mortal, but as divinity veiled in humility - a goddess clothed in fragile skin, her radiance so pure that kings would squander their kingdoms to mirror but a fragment of her grace. She was flame and water, salvation and abyss, the silence of peace and the thunder of ruin. To him, she was the living altar. And he, though devil-born, bent in worship. Every sin within him was transfigured into reverence, every breath pledged as devotion. In her he found his sanity; in her he was undone. But divinity walks perilous paths. She was the lamb wandering the wilderness, and he the wolf cloaked in shadows, a lone hunter whose hunger was not of the flesh but of the soul. His obsession blurred the sacred lines - love and possession, lust and desire-until all became one consuming fire. Thus began the myth of the madman and his goddess: a tale where devotion is both chain and freedom, where madness becomes worship, and where the end and the beginning share the same name.
