"You lied to me!"


Lara's voice trembles as she stumbles backward, her breath visible in the freezing air. 


The TRUTH  is out. 


The secret he swore didn't exist is now staring her in the face, and the boy she thought she knew-the one she foolishly trusted-is looking at her with nothing but a smirk.


"I trusted you, Peter!" she chokes out, desperation clawing at her throat. "Tell me it's not true-tell me this is some sick joke!"


Peter steps forward, tilting his head. "A joke?" he muses. "Now, that's funny. But no, Lara-this is very real."

Her pulse pounds in her ears as she inches back. The ground beneath her groans. The ice is thinner here. 


Too thin.

"You don't have to do this," she pleads. "Please. I won't tell anyone. I swear!"


He exhales, his breath misting in the air. Then he smirks.


"If you die, the secret dies with you."

Then he turns away.

The ice cracks beneath her feet.

"Peter!" she screams as the frozen ground gives way, swallowing her whole.

The cold is like knives against her skin. The world turns black.

She reaches for him.

He doesn't move.

If only she had never gone on that ski trip.

If only she had stayed home.

If only she had never met him.

But it's too late now.

Because secrets are buried in the snow.
And some are meant to stay frozen.All Rights Reserved

Alive With The Dead by rot_and_write

The world didn't end all at once-it unraveled slowly. Quietly. While no one was looking. Neve, a introverted 17 year old, was always good at noticing things. The way her neighbors' pets started vanishing. The way the news anchors stumbled over their words. The way her school suddenly cared about checking students for "fevers" but never offered explanations. Still grieving her mother and lost in the silence of her own home, Neve watches as the world slips further from normal-until the night the power goes out. Until the night she sees a man, gaunt and bloodied, standing in her backyard. Watching her. After that, everything falls apart. As cities burn and the dead walk the streets, Neve is forced from the quiet life she knew into a fractured world ruled by survival, instinct, and impossible questions. Who can be trusted? What do the revenants-the "turned"-still remember? And how much of yourself can you lose before you're no longer human? Alongside Jace, a guarded 19 year old, a boy with his own shadows, Neve walks a path littered with broken people, fading memories, and echoes of a past that refuses to stay buried. Her journal becomes a guide, her sketches a record of what the world used to be-and what might still be worth saving.. She meets people. She loses them. She learns to trust, and she learns to grieve. But most importantly-she survives.

Wet Secrets: Bound by Lust|18+ by velvetlusts_

She was never supposed to be his. But she made the mistake of smiling at the night. And the worst the.....night..... smiled back..... There's someone in the dark- Someone who knows the curve of her lips before she speaks. Who memorized the trail of her wet hair against her back. Who watches. Wants. Waits. He doesn't knock. He doesn't ask. He just takes-in silence, in shadows, in dreams soaked with hunger. She thinks she's alone in the shower. She thinks no one hears the moans she buries in her pillow. She thinks her secrets are hers. She doesn't know someone's already claimed her. Every inch. Every sound. Every drop. And then-there's Asher Wilson. Cold. Sinful. Dangerous. The kind of man who doesn't belong in her world... yet pulls her into his like a moth to flame. Every glance from him feels like a bruise, every word like a promise dipped in sin. He doesn't touch her- not yet. But she feels him everywhere. Two shadows circle her- one watching from the dark, the other standing in the light... yet both feel the same. One whispers danger. The other breathes temptation. And between them, she is already burning. When their bodies finally collide, it won't be love. It'll be possession-slow, sinful, and too wet to forget. Because some secrets don't whisper. They drip. And some obsessions don't knock. They enter. But who will claim her? The stalker in the dark... or the man who feels just as dangerous? What if they're not two men at all? What if the fire and the shadow belong to the same monster? And when she learns the truth- will she run from it... or fall to her knees and worship it? But, what so ever happens- In the end........ she was always his and he was hers and he will stake his soul to prove it even, if it killed both of them..!

Bed of Lies by chelsy_lea

They broke her trust. They broke his mind. But when the past claws its way back, survival isn't enough - vengeance demands blood. Victoria learned how to stay quiet. Grief became her shadow, guilt her constant companion. It whispered in her ear that she should have been the one to die instead. Not her mother. Never her mother. If she had, maybe her father wouldn't have walked away, leaving them to fend for themselves. But silence is a fragile shield-and when the past resurfaces, dragging her into a world she barely escaped, she realizes staying quiet won't save her this time. Xavier learned how to disappear behind scars, behind rage, behind the monster his past made him. Forged by cruelty, built by betrayal, and fueled by rage, he became the kind of man other monsters feared. Scars became his armor. Violence, his language. He doesn't believe in mercy-only vengeance. Especially for the man who made him this way. Victoria was everything he had been taught to avoid - soft yet unbreakable, damaged yet defiant. She had the kind of pain that mirrored his own, a past carved into her bones, a war waged behind tired eyes. She saw through him in ways no one else had ever dared, and he hated it. Hated her. Because she made him feel. He was chaos wrapped in quiet fury, a storm threatening to consume everything in its path. And yet, when she looked at him, she didn't just see the monster - she saw the man who had once fought to hold on to his soul. But love between two broken people is never easy. It's volatile. Cruel. A constant push and pull, neither of them willing to surrender, both too damaged to truly hold on. The closer they get, the more dangerous the stakes become. Yet, for all the ways they fought against it, they kept coming back to each other.

The Red Rose - The Prequel by Magiewood

Don't Fall in Love With Me by MoonlitGrace

"Who are you exactly?!" I growled angrily. She tried to free herself from my grasp, but I pinned her to the wall. She glared at me angrily as she kept pushing me. "I don't fucking need to tell you anything!" She spat. "I am not leaving until you tell me!" I whispered angrily as I leaned in closer. I felt her stiffening up, and as I felt she will reveal, instead she smirked as she whispered in my ear, "You don't want to do something Aiden, which you might regret later!"

A New Beginning by gem_code

There are no rules here. No laws. No one to tell you what's right or wrong-because right and wrong don't mean much anymore. In this world, the dead don't stay dead. Time doesn't move the way it should. One second stretches forever, and the next disappears before you can breathe. The world feels... paused. Broken. Caught between what once was and what refuses to end. It's beautiful, in a terrifying kind of way. Endless skies. Cities half-swallowed by fog. Echoes of laughter that don't belong to anyone alive. And somewhere in the middle of it all-Maeve. She walks through the stillness like she belongs there, even though she doesn't. Her steps are quiet, steady, like she's listening to something the rest of the world can't hear. There's a sadness in her, yes-but also calm, like she's already seen everything there is to see. Maeve didn't choose to come here. She was taken. Dropped into a new community that feels more like a cage than a home. But she doesn't fight it-not at first. She watches. Learns. The shadows whisper secrets, and she listens. Something about this place is wrong. She can feel it. The people act strange. The air hums with hidden energy, like the world itself is holding its breath. And Maeve can't help but wonder- if death isn't the end here... then what is?

The Caged Princess(Book 1) by MisaBloom97

War In Embers - A Lycans Story by Nieunoftz

They swung open the cage door, cattle prods at full power, humming with electricity. The man lazily lifted his hands in surrender. "Now, now." He said softly. His voice was like velvet. "No need. I'll do as you please." The man in the cage said, his eyes straying to her. "You know what it is we want beastling." The man with the pale eyes said. The caged man shot him a glance, something dancing just below the surface of his calm, relaxed demeanor. The air in the room was electric. The man locked eyes with her, sending a shiver through her whole body. She felt like a rabbit in the jaws of a wolf- struggling, but doomed. Then, his eyes still on hers, he began to change. --- When Theophania Pennrose arrives in Ilaross, a tiny town tucked away in the recesses of the Alaskan wilderness, she is under the impression that she's simply there to visit her dear younger brother Dimetreaus. But as her stay extends, the wildlife comes knocking at their door and paints warnings on the windows. She finds herself trapped in the eternal night of winter with the wolves circling, intent on making her theirs. But Theo's petals are unfurling, and the end result may be more beautiful and bloody than any of them imagined. --- COMPLETE! Marked Mature for mature themes.

Heirs And Hunters by crazypoodle

"Every step you take away from me only drives you closer to the brink of my madness. You belong to me, Winter. Any alternative reality or illusion you hope for- I will destroy them until your very existence is entwined with mine." -𝐈𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐞 Eighteen-year-old Winter has always been a quiet shadow, a shy spy avoiding the perils of the spotlight. But when she's tasked with stalking five powerful Heirs, her carefully crafted invisibility shatters. Her mission is clear: erase their scandals, track their every move, and never draw attention. Yet, when she crosses paths with Ivan Arcane-the ruthless heir to one of the world's most powerful empires-everything changes. At first, Ivan saw her as dull and dependent, an insignificant watcher in the crowd. A beautiful doll to be kept locked and safe somewhere- an innocence belonging nowhere near him or his world. But when she makes one fatal mistake, he uncovers the sharp, wild mind she's concealed beneath fragile masks of pink and purples. Now, Ivan is obsessed, determined to dismantle her defenses and claim her as his own. And In a world where power rules, Winter is no longer the Hunter in the game -she's Ivan's fixation, a prey to a predator and he'll stop at nothing to change the very narrative of the fairy tale so the villain gets the girl in the end.
