This house is a fucking lie. I am the only truth rotting within its walls.
For years, I have existed in the spaces between the drywall. I am the static in the radio, the cold draft on the back of her neck, and the shadow that lingers in the room a second too long.
I watch her.
Elara. The perfect wife in a perfect hell.
The man she married sees her as an ornament. He betrays her, ignores her, and lets her wither in the silence of this house. He doesn't know that the silence isn't empty.
It belongs to me.
I have waited in the dark, feeding on her loneliness and the rage she has choked down for years. I was patient. I was just an observer.
Until now.
Her husband is gone. The house is empty. And I am starving.
He thinks he owns her on paper.
But I own every breath she takes, every fear she hides, and every dream she dreams.
It's time to step out of the walls, Elara.

Bound by Destiny

"Damn me, why did I have to save her." "Because you were bored." ********************************** Most children are raised to have a sense of wonder. A feeling of awe at the unexplainable, delight at the thought of hidden worlds and fantastical creatures. Eve was not that child. She was happy in her logical life and didn't need the unicorns and wizards. To her, magic simply didn't exist. Until the night it tried to kill her. After she is saved by men of fiction, Eve soon discovers that binding an eight-hundred year old vampire to herself is the least of her worries. An unexpected reunion with her mother exposes secrets and she quickly learns that what she didn't believe in could be the death of her. ******** Warning******** THIS IS A REVERSE-HAREM NOVEL.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed writing it. Please comment and I will do my best to reply :) If there are questions that might lead to spoilers, I'll try to PM or DM the answers.Complete
Crown of Venom: crestwood university book three
Heirs of ruin. Bound by blood. Crowned in vengeance. The war didn't end with her father's fall. That was only the beginning. Georgia Sutton has accepted the truth: she's the last of the Carmichael bloodline, heir to a legacy buried in centuries of power, betrayal, and sacrifice. But surviving that truth is something else entirely. The Lords have spoken. To preserve the bloodline and unlock the full power of the threshold, Georgia must enter a ritual bond with Sebastian-the only other living tie to her lineage. It's not about love. It's about lineage. Legacy. Control. And it changes everything. Because Georgia was already chosen-by four dangerous, brilliant, obsessive boys who would raze the world to keep her. A marriage may bind her by blood... but the bond they've built together is something darker. Deeper. Unbreakable. As whispers of rebellion grow louder and the remaining bloodlines fall under attack, Georgia and her kings must form a new alliance-one born not of tradition, but of fire. A new Serpent order. One that doesn't just fight to preserve the old ways... but to rewrite them. But power this great never comes without sacrifice. And queens don't rise without bleeding first. "For every chapter skipped, Gage will smirk. For every backup saved, Kellen gets harder. For every tear shed, Bash will notice. For every unholy scene reread? Jaxon whispers, 'Again.'"Complete

The Blood Order
"Are you coming to bed firefly?" He says to me laying his hands over my waist joining me in looking over the city. "I want to look out for a little longer if that is alright?" I mumble hoping that he heard me anyways, I wasn't ready to walk into that bedroom, and I don't think I ever would be. "Of course, I'll be getting ready for bed, come in whenever you are ready." He says confidently and walks away leaving my waist cold something for which I am grateful. Especially when my mind burns with other more dangerous thoughts. The warmth that forever lingers in the air, never burning the skin, but always reminding about what is around us. I force air into my lungs feeling the unexpected warmth fill me. He stands in the room watching me even though he said he was getting ready for bed. He is worried about me, about me jumping. I have contemplated it I will admit, but he would stop me before I fell even two feet. I was stuck, and no one could save me. Not even myself, my fucking weak self. His presence is demanding no matter where we are, but right now I could sense everything about him, and I try to suppress the unwanted feelings that curl right under my skin. "Firefly? About done?" He calls out and I release my hand from the guard rail not realizing that as I looked at the lights that covered the shining city with the falling fire in the background that my subconscious was thinking about how nice it would be... how relieving it would be... to just fall. True freedom. I take a step back and wrap my hands together turning around to a fully clothed unchanged man and nod once. I could see the fear in his eyes that I would, he knows if he gave me the chance... I wasn't ready for this, but I had to survive. No matter what.
