I know a man, with eyes like the sun and the with the demeanour of a god
And I fell, irrevocably and uncontrollably in love with him
I didn't mean to, though
Not when I was on the verge of falling apart, of giving in to my demons when I met him
I should have known though, that at moments our eyes locked and the fire in his eyes threatened to burn me and consume me body and soul, that there was no going back and that he wouldn't let go
Not that I ever wanted him to

He wasn't supposed to exist outside the pages of a fantasy. The kind of man who looks at you once and suddenly every line you've drawn between real and unreal begins to blur. His words sound like sin wrapped in silk, and his touch-God, his touch-feels like every rule you promised yourself you'd never break. When he entered my life, it wasn't with a warning. It was with chaos wrapped in charm, temptation laced with danger. He didn't need to say much; his eyes did. I'll ruin you, and you'll thank me for it. And the worst part? I wanted to play along. Even when I knew he was the storm and I was the match, waiting to burn. Because sometimes, the most dangerous stories aren't the ones you read. They're the ones you live- with the wrong man who feels too right. ~Elara✨ Meet Elara and find out whether she be able to handle her fantasy world in real life.😉
In The Hollow Where He Waits
This is a story that delves into the shadowed corners of the human spirit, where fear is a constant companion and strength is a flickering ember waiting to be fanned. It speaks of those who have been broken by life's tempests, yet possess an indomitable will to survive, finding solace not in the comforting glow of familiarity, but in the ethereal presence of a guiding entity - a 'Ghost' - that whispers resilience in the face of despair. It's for the lost souls who navigate the desolate landscapes of their existence, clinging to the faintest hope of a love that can bloom against all odds, a love as untamed and wild as the deepest wilderness. The narrative follows individuals who have learned to converse with the silence, finding their sanctuary not in noisy crowds, but in the hushed intimacy of the unknown. Their deepest connections are not forged in the bright, scrutinizing light of day, but in the potent, intoxicating embrace of what remains hidden, in the quiet battles waged within the soul. It celebrates the strength that lies dormant within, the survival that often goes unseen, acknowledging that even in the most desolate terrains, a profound and fierce love can indeed take root and flourish. The book is an exploration of resilience, a testament to the enduring power of the human heart to seek and find connection, even when shrouded in the deepest of shadows. It's for those who have walked through the whispering woods of their own lives, not just seeking solace, but discovering something far more elemental and profound: the realization that their deepest truths and strongest bonds often bloom in the most unexpected, and sometimes, the most silent of places.Complete

He remembers. His gaze lingers, just like it used to. I hate that I still feel something. I shouldn't. Hunter only wants answers, to use me for what I know about Declan.
