Some doors open to guests.
Others open to fate.
In the deep hours of night, a stranger arrives at Marina's quiet inn on the edge of the forest. His voice is calm, but his presence feels ancient like the wind that stirs before a storm. His eyes catch the light in impossible ways, burning red for a heartbeat before dimming to black.
Marina tells herself it's nothing. A trick of the light. A weary mind. But soon, the woods whisper with strange calls at night. Shadows pool where there is no light. And in her dreams, she walks with black-feathered wings at her side.
The man says little, but the air changes when he's near - heavier, charged, as though something old and powerful moves through him. Something that does not belong entirely to this world.
By the time Marina learns the truth, it will be far too late to turn the key and lock the door.

Cruel Bindings
Juliet Everett's life was supposed to be perfect. A college senior with a bright future, the beloved daughter of a powerful man, and the girl who always smiled the way everyone expected her to. But one brutal night shatters everything. Stolen off the street by a stranger with cold eyes and blood on his hands, Juliet wakes in a nightmare she doesn't understand-where every truth she's ever known starts to unravel. Ronan Slade doesn't ask questions. He doesn't make mistakes. His orders are simple: deliver the girl, disappear, and forget. But from the moment Juliet fights back-fierce, stubborn, unyielding-he knows this won't be simple. There's a fire in her that refuses to die, even as her life is ripped apart. And for the first time in years, something cracks in his numb, dead world. As days blur into nights, Juliet realizes that survival isn't just about escaping chains-it's about surviving the war between herself and the man who controls her fate. Ronan is dangerous, unreadable, and bound by loyalties she doesn't yet understand. But the real threat isn't outside the walls-it's the lies she's lived all along. In a world of blood bargains, trust is a weapon. Love is a risk. And some flames refuse to die, even in the dark.Complete
Forced Desire
Roman Virelli - The name whispered in back alleys and screamed in final breaths. Ruthless. Untouchable. The king of a criminal empire built on blood, bullets, and bone. He doesn't ask. He takes. Cross him, and you disappear-no body, no trace, just a whisper of your own foolishness. Love? Weakness. Kindness? A liability. But obsession? That's something even he can't control. And when he sees something he wants, the world be damned-it's already his. Eden Thorne - Soft-spoken, heart-of-gold Eden. The town's quiet little librarian with ink-stained fingers and a gentle smile that tames even the wildest of children every Friday afternoon during her story hour. But under her warm eyes and floral dresses, there's a fire-one she doesn't even know is waiting to burn until Roman Virelli walks through her library doors and decides her fate.Complete

Will she make it out alive? Or will she find herself falling for the very beast she fears? ~~~ Cover by @khushiful on WattpadComplete
Blade ✔️
Blade's eyes turned cold. Like a dark colored ocean that just froze. He took a frightening step forward so now his face was only inches from my face, even with his height, making my breath hitch in my throat. I could no longer breath. No longer see people repeatedly walking past my house. No longer hear those birds in the tree that were begging me to run. I could only see his dark blue eyes that held so much danger and anger. I could only hear his rapid breathing and even his fast heartbeat. I was just that dazed into his stare.... more like glare. "Is there someone else?" he said so low no one could hear but me. And I heard him. So clearly. I heard the threat telling me to say yes for he can make whoever the competition is disappear. I heard the anger he held behind his low tone. I heard the jealousy beyond anything. That was what clouded over everything. "N-no," I stuttered. I'm angry to admit I was scared. How he towered over me didn't make it any better. Standing proudly at maybe a 6'4 or 6'5. While I stood at a 5'5. He scanned my face trying to look for any sign of me lying. And when he backed up I knew he couldn't find one because what I said was indeed true. To be honest there was only him. And it seems like that is what it will always be. The all famous gang leader and tough girl, cross paths. He hates disrespect and that's what she's all about. How do you think this will all play out in the end?Complete![The Beauty in the Beast [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/158889220-256-k512334.jpg)
