He's fire and fists. She's silence and scars. And neither of them knows how to be loved.
Dag Torrance was born into chaos. With a legacy soaked in power, rage, and blood, he was never supposed to fall for someone like Leah-quiet, careful, and carrying a darkness she never speaks about.
Leah doesn't do boys like Dag. She doesn't do anyone, really. Not since the world got too loud and her body became a war zone. But there's something in the way Dag watches her-like she's not fragile, like she's worth breaking the rules for.
He's a boxer with bruised hands and heavier secrets. She's a girl trying to disappear without anyone noticing. And when their paths collide, it's slow. Tense. Addictive.
But love doesn't come easy for people like them.
And if they're not careful, they'll destroy the one good thing they never meant to find.

The raindrops were her tears, the storm was her sorrow, but when she opened herself up to the world, she revealed a rainbow of hope and light. She was a rare thing, a force of nature, a tempest of emotion, and those who saw her for who she truly was knew that she was more than a storm cloud. She was the sun after the rain, the promise of a new beginning. She's always had to fight to survive, whether it's against the abuse she suffered at the hands of her father or the challenges of everyday life. But now that she's a freshman at CSUN, she's determined to forge a new path for herself. She wants to make friends and build a future for herself, but trouble seems to follow her wherever she goes. When she meets Valen Monroe, a cocky and arrogant student who seems to have it all, the last thing she wants is to be around him.

His devilish looks and charming smile had many a girl swooning, but there was one girl who refused to fall under his spell. A girl with a quick temper and even quicker fists. When his friend was on the receiving end of her punch, Valen's interest was piqued. He knew there was more to her than met the eye, and he was determined to find out what it was.

Villain and Violence || Devil's Night Fanfiction
She wasn't supposed to love him. She had told herself that a thousand times, whispered it like a warning in the dead of night. But love had a cruel way of ignoring reason, twisting itself into something undeniable, something dangerous. Otkrovenyie never spoke the words aloud, never dared to let them escape into the air where they could betray her. Instead, she showed it in the silence, in the way her eyes lingered a second too long when she thought he wasn't looking, in the way she always seemed to know exactly when he was at his breaking point, pulling him back just before he shattered. She cared in ways he would never understand, in ways he wasn't meant to see. She carried his pain like it was her own, protected him from battles he didn't even know existed. And now, she was risking everything for him-her identity, her safety, the life she had built in the shadows-all for the man who could never know the truth. But the hardest part? He didn't even know she was in love with him. And she could never let him find out. My oc Otkrovenyie x Damon Torrance Slow Brun Endless love Forbidden love

𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀 𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐓 (ANGEL) Older. Scary. Silent. Damon Lars was always lurking in the shadows, a sinister presence that scared me. It would be oblivious for me not to notice him even in the darkest areas. He was there. Maybe invisible to others, not to me. My brother's best friend, Damon, was notorious for his dark reputation. While I immersed myself in books, I could feel his gaze upon me. Sometimes, I feel him notice me too. No one knows what happens when all my brother's friends are busy. I saw him. Every day. And I vowed to keep my mouth shut. My secret. And his. STELLA RUSSEL (PRINCESS) Rich. Entitled. Bratty. That was me, and I'm proud. I hated Grayson Meadows. He constantly treated me as if I were a spoiled rich brat - which I was - our fathers being business partners made us around each other a lot. Despite his mocking, he always protected me, causing me to feel uneasy in his presence. If I harbor such animosity towards him, why do I find myself concerned for him too? I hate him. But I fucking need him more. LILIANA ROSELINE (DOLLFACE) Jaxon's intense gaze always sent shivers down my spine, as if he could see right through me. He was Marci's violent older brother, a brooding figure with a penchant for chaos. Danger seemed to emanate from him like a dark aura. Yet, amidst his menacing aura, he would fixate his eyes on me, as if I were the epitome of perfection. But could a girl, so perfect, ever be enticed by a man like him? Yes, because I'm so deep down in love with him. AVERY RAVEN (LITTLE DEVIL) Alessio, the loud figure, refers to me as the 'little devil' and feigns animosity towards me. He says he hates me a lot. However, deep down, I am aware that his feelings are quite the opposite. In the dead of night, when the world slumbers, he clandestinely dials my number on each of my birthdays, evoking an unsettling sensation within me. Until last summer, when everything went south and I ruined Alessio's lifeComplete

He leaned down so he was eye level with me, he smelt like apples too. "Why do you wanna learn how to fight tigru?" I tried my hardest not to let my gaze flicker down to his bare chest, but it was right there and very distracting. He cleared his throat making me shoot my gaze back to him as I hoped my voice didn't come out shaky, "that's my business, just like the reason you fight is yours." His jaw sharpened as he straightened and seemed to contemplate what his next move would be. I took the time to declutter my thoughts and focus on what I needed from him; fighting lessons, the opportunity to save myself one final time. - - - "I love the book overall. It kept me on the edge of my seat and it was full of emotion! I can't wait for the sequel to come out!
