In a city iced in snow, where time is stagnant, Detective Theo takes a group of mystery sleuths outside the limits of logic. With powers of time control and healing, he practices restraint-until a chilling series of slayings compels him to face his past. Secrets are revealed and tensions mount. Caine, his astute and perceptive other half, is inexorably drawn into the mystery of Theo's secrecy, his old friend Lucian carrying within him a shadow that imperils even time itself to break. As the city hangs on the brink of ruin, Theo is confronted with the decision of all decisions. Will he manage to keep time from rending apart forever, or will stress of his gift break him first?

A thrilling mix of sci-fi, fantasy, and romance, Shattered Seconds uncovers the price of power, the limits of betrayal, and the fragility of love.

What the fuck do you want?"I asked. "Get dressed we're going out"he says. "Hell nah, I ain't going no where"I say going back to my room. All I want to do is sleep and I won't let anybody stop me. I feel a muscular hand snake around my waist pulling me out of my room. "I can't fall asleep so you can't sleep too!" He says forcefully. "I hate you!" I scream. "No you don't, you adore me" he chuckles "Keep dreaming boy" I wanted him to let go of me, not because I didn't like it but because his touch, was driving me insane. It felt great and I can't afford to fall for him, I mean look at him who wouldn't fall for that handsome face and crazy person but that was problem. I'm not his type. He turned me around and this time I was facing him, our eyes met and I couldn't deny it, it felt great to be in his arms. His eyes lowered and fell on my lips. Before I could even say my name, he kisses me. My eyes widened in shocked but I gave in and wrapped my arms around his neck, closing my eyes. God damn!his lips are soft. It was slow and gentle, his hands moved to my face as he increased the pace. My hands moved to his soft black hair. God! I've always wanted to touch it I let out a moan and he slipped his tongue in making the kiss hotter. It was the best feeling on earth. We both pulled away at the same time, panting. Damon and Scarlet, two different people brought together by fate but separated by life. Will they find each other again and just live with the memories of what that had??

17 parts Complete Mature
"You're unbearable!" He kicks her with utter contempt. "Please tell me where I'm wrong, causing you discomfort was not my intention," she said crying, causing him to hit her against the ground again. "Do you think you can live with good intentions? Didn't you have all the time you wanted to change and learn? You still dare to ask for more!" He yells at her with hatred, he blamed her for being the one will cause a woman to be beaten; He didn't want to be that kind of man. However, what he lived with her caused him to bring out what he hated the most about himself from within. -Forget it love- said a woman who was next to her- it's not worth it- this dog was supposed to be her friend, she was supposed to support her just like she did; however he managed so that he and she hated each other and thus be able to steal it. The woman on the floor does not know how much she was framed and harmed by her naivety, nor did she know that this was the beginning of her misfortunes. Because of that woman she did not stop suffering, wherever she went she suffered verbal or physical abuse and everything was orchestrated by this woman; she didn't know until she was about to faint. "Why?" She asked this unarmed woman without knowing why she hated him so much. She never did anything to hurt him. She just laughed viciously without answering him, she didn't have to waste her time with an insect; leaving La to die imprisoned in the house where she was kidnapped. "Answer me!" She got up from her bed screaming "Eh? This looks like my room; Did I reincarnate myself in the past?" She ran to the bathroom just to see that her assumption was correct. She thanked the heavens for this second chance by promising that she wouldn't be fooled a second time.
The Devil's Crybaby  by Alywinter
55 parts Ongoing Mature
She was just a normal girl-fragile, timid, and painfully ordinary. A quiet life, a rich home, a mind full of small dreams, and a heart that feared everything outside her comfort zone. She cried easily, complained often, and clung to safety like a child grips a blanket. The only thing she ever truly loved was the peaceful world of nature around her. Until one night, her world was shattered. Dragged from her bed at midnight by a man with dead eyes and blood on his hands, she wakes to find herself captive to a stranger who refuses to tell her why. He's cold. Brutal. Unforgiving. He was the opposite. A man made of sharp edges and darker intentions. Hot-tempered, cold-hearted, and dangerously loyal to only one person, his brother. A brother who once lost an eye because of him. A debt he carries like a curse. When that brother saw her at a wedding and whispered that he wanted her, he didn't question it. He didn't hesitate. Just darkness, a rough grip, and the beginning of a nightmare she couldn't understand. She begged him to explain. He stayed cold. She believed he must have kidnapped her out of love, that maybe he was just too proud to admit it. Maybe he was pretending to be heartless because he didn't know how to feel. So she fell for him. Hopelessly. Foolishly. Entirely. She followed him, confessed to him, clung to the tiniest moments of softness she thought she saw in him. While he protected her from danger, she believed it meant something. While he stared at her with anger, she mistook it for hidden affection. But he never told her the truth. She was never his. She was a promise. A gift. A girl stolen to be handed over to someone else. And by the time she realizes the truth, her heart already belongs to the wrong man.

They changed each other's lives - for better and for worse. Jamie never expected that taking an extra semester of college would lead him to the love of his life, and he wasn't prepared for all the crazy events that would follow in the aftermath. © Registered Work. All rights reserved. Breathing through an open mouth, his chest lifts and drops with each scattered breath. He feels like he's panting, and he might be. He's breathing so fast. He wants her so bad. She's so close, he could bring her against him with the flick of his wrist. He could kiss her, and she might let him. His desire for her radiates between them. She must feel it, and he senses it from her, too. He's in heat, sweating in his coat. He wants her, he wants her. He needs her. "I-" It catches on her tongue as she struggles to speak. "I'll see you tomorrow, okay?" The union of their hands is broken. Lina pulls away, and she's walking. She's walking so fast and doesn't turn to look back at him. As she disappears into the horizon, he just sits there and thinks. He's fucked this up.
