By Moonlight | ONC 2026
Born to the immortal, fickle aes sídhe, Lorcán Ó Miach pays little heed to the turning world around him. His only concern is a strange, nagging boredom that follows him like a second shadow. So when a mortal child stumbles upon the home he and his two brothers share, he delights in the chance to learn about the odd girl. But humans are fearful, delicate creatures, and they are not the same. Careless, selfish, and perhaps broken, Lorcán must confront his very nature.

Eros' Destiny [COMPLETE]
Love, something I can't remember feeling for at least a thousand years. My mother never taught me to love, barely even showed me any. Only told me I was the God of it. The God of Love. And everything else that came with it. Desire, passion, lust, adoration, fondness and infatuation. I do remember very faintly how it felt like. The tender squeezing of the heart when I saw her smile. The way her sweet lips drugged me, making me want more. The way I wanted to protect her from everything, even from my mother. The pain that seeped into me when I couldn't have any of that anymore. When the memories of her haunted me and kept me awake every single fucking moment. All until I laid my eyes on her, when I finally found Destiny. ================================ Hello everyone! Welcome to my third book here on WattPad! A few stuff to take note of before we begin on this incredible journey with Eros. 1. No copying, plagiarising of any kind with my story. As usual, if I find out of such activity, I shall get a unicorn to pierce your cold dark heart ;) 2. This story will mostly be a guy's POV! *shocker* Yes really because I felt more inspired to write it in the testosterone's point of view and here we are. And yes I will write some chapters in the woman's POV every now and then in the book (like the prologue) but for now, we shall stick with the almighty Eros X) 3. This story is inspired by me wanting to write a story based on a man who had the power to somehow manipulate love and I thought Cupid would be a perfect idea. But we already have a Cupid book on WattPad by another author so I shall not jump onto that bandwagon. Instead I took Eros, he is somewhat like Cupid but is the Greek version. 4. THERE WILL BE SOME CHARACTER CROSSES FROM MY PREVIOUS BOOKS! And yes Eros may appear in my other stories as well because he is that versatile ;) And that's it! I hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoy writing this crazy story! With love and regards, Janice GoldShakenComplete

Web shadows
What if the one you loved most was also the one who could destroy you? At the heart of a fragile relationship, an invisible web tightens-woven from jealousy, manipulation, and false memories. What begins as a story of love and trust slowly unravels into a chilling psychological battle, where truth and lies intertwine so seamlessly that even the strongest mind begins to fracture. In Web Shadows, nothing is what it seems. Every whispered word, every subtle gesture, every carefully chosen silence becomes a clue-or a trap. Love transforms into obsession, loyalty bends into betrayal, and the line between victim and predator fades with every chapter. The story plunges readers into the unsettling reality of a couple whose bond, once a sanctuary, turns into a battlefield. As shadows creep into their daily lives, the question emerges: is danger coming from the outside, or has it always been inside their home? The people they thought they could trust the most become strangers, and memories once cherished twist into weapons. Beneath the surface, hidden truths pulse like a second heartbeat, waiting to be uncovered. Each revelation leads not to clarity, but to deeper confusion. The past collides with the present, and secrets buried for years claw their way back into the light, demanding to be faced. This is not just a story about love gone wrong. It is about control, fear, and the dangerous games the human mind can play when pushed to its breaking point. It is about the masks people wear-masks so convincing that even those closest to them cannot tell where reality ends and deception begins. Because in the end, the most dangerous webs are not the ones we see... but the ones we believe in.
