Preface:
Ness had often contemplated how she would die, and with good reason. Being the adrenaline junky that she was, she was all too familiar with near death experiences. But this wasn’t one of her dangerous stunts. She stared through squinted hazel eyes across the small room at the hunter, and he looked pleasantly back at her, a crooked smile playing at his lips.
Ness wasn’t thrilled about the idea of dying by any means, however she knew it was bound to happen eventually, and if she could help it, she wanted to go out with a bang. Dramatically, and memorable, like in the movies. Something worthy of being on the local news that night. Still, she never imagined she’d be so young.
The hunter grinned sinisterly as he sharpened his tool.
This was a good way to die too. In fact, it was even better. In the place of someone else, someone she loved. It was heroic, noble.
Ness rested back on the cool brick wall behind her and smiled. Just mere months ago, she’d been completely miserable in this town. Now, as she sat there ready to die, she couldn’t bring herself to regret the decision of moving there.
The hunter raised his weapon as he closed the distance between them and sauntered over to end her.

Alpha of the Darks, Vince, imprints on Nya but keeps it a secret. Excerpt Vince was resting in bed running the day's events through his mind when his heightened sense of hearing was alerted to the sound of ruffling sheets. Little feet hit the ground telling him it was a female and the odd placement of footsteps lets him know it wasn't Malina. He rises and when he widens his bedroom door Nya's scent flooded through his nostrils. He clears his throat instinctively and follows the smell into the hall. There he finds her coming straight towards him. He was surprised she was up this soon. She should have been out until the morning at least. Her foot was healed and her clothes were changed from earlier. She was now wearing a fitted cotton t-shirt, soft plaid shorts, and her hair was tied up in a messy bun. "What are you doing?" He folds his arms and angles his brows. She keeps her same pace beelined to him. Never, has he ever had the thought of taking a step back when being approached; until now that is. He hesitated. He firmly refused to let anything make him back down. This was his house, his rules, and she had no power over him. His focus inadvertently fell to her breast that lacked cover from a bra, and then to her smooth thighs, and like he has absolutely no control, to her toned calves. She was a foot away when the moon's glow from the skylight illuminated her face. His heart skipped a beat. It had never done that before. Then his train of thought went right off the tracks. He didn't realize how thick her lashes were, or how perfectly red her lips were stained. Where earlier she was pale, she now had a flushed pink color. The darkness from under her eyes was gone and her cheeks were slightly fuller too. He blinks away his unwanted thoughts when she stops inches from him. With a neutral gaze, an expressionless expression almost, she makes a sudden turn and goes around him. "What the f**k?" She was sleepwalking he registered.Complete
ELBINA
I almost jumped out of my skin when he placed a hand on my neck, shivers ran across my skin as he slowly brushed back the hair from my neck. It seems to last a lifetime, my body craved his thumb grazing along the skin of my neck. I snap out of it when he mumbles quietly, close to my ear so his breath trickles subtly over my neck. "You should probably ice that." My eyes catch his for a second, a whirl of emotions in them that I don't know how to decipher. So I whisper quietly back, afraid if I spoke too loud, it might disrupt this look he was giving me. "It's not that bad." I grabbed his hand, pulling it away from my neck. "There's fucking bite marks Ella." ************************************** Orphaned 17-year old Elbina's new life is simple, or at least it was supposed to be.

Her well-kept secrets are falling apart at the seams and it's becoming clear her past is catching up with her, the question is whether she can protect all those that she cares about.

Rebel
Brock lunged at me, all brute force and whirling fists. I moved like a hot knife through butter, going for his clumsy boots. I swung my foot out, catching him in the crook of my ankle. And then he was falling, and I raced towards him, my fist stopping inches from his nose. I pressed my knee into his chest a little harder than I needed to, driving the point home. "And now you're dead." I said proudly. Brock looked embarrassed, and slunk back into the crowd. I glanced at Calvin, who firmly closed his gaping mouth. "Right then." Calvin stretched and I saw muscles bulge in his arms. "Lets see how smug you are once you've had a piece of me eh?" His warriors cheered and I gulped, but raised my fists. Briella Fog is the daughter of the famous Nick Fog, leader of the Earth clan. She's spirited, and can fight better than any boy- or so she says. She's either dresses up as a boy to be allowed to train with the warriors or harvesting carrots at home. But then she is kidnapped, by the Fire clan, the toughest warriors alive. But if they expected an easy, sweet little girl hostage, they were wrong. Very wrong.

Hollow
He watched from a distance as she played. Running through the park, chasing something from her imagination, he'd never seen her so happy. It was the day of her sixth birthday.

The Dark Side of the Moon
"Fuck, baby. You can't say things like that to me. I want to, also. Trust me." His hand snakes down my body until he enters two of his fingers into my wet center. I can only moan in response. "However," he kisses my neck possessively, finding the right spot to drive me crazy. "I need to build you up to that." He pushes his fingers in and out of me, hitting deeper and deeper as his strokes become longer and harder and faster. "You feel that? My fingers deep in your pussy that's dripping for me?" He licks the side of my neck as my breaths come out in short pants. "My dick is going to stretch you out so much more. When I finally fuck you, you're going to be sore for days.

His Possession
His Possession. Mafia Romance. Dark Romance. Enemies To Lovers. "Let me go!" I seethed through gritted teeth. I felt an uncontrollable amount of fear rake over my body. I soon began to shake. The fear that I just barely managed to suppress earlier is now clawing its way back up to the surface, rearing its ugly head once again, and hits ten times harder than before. The sensation is literally paralyzing. The feeling totally bypassing 'fight' or 'flee' and going straight to freeze. I feel like yacking up all that greasy food I had eaten during my shift at the diner. But I swallow the urge to do so and grit my teeth. Trust me, I wanted nothing more than to yack all over this pretentious douche. "Sorry kitten, not ever going to fucking happen." He said carelessly as he tightened his grip on the steering wheel. His eyes were fixed on the dark road ahead of us, the road I surely didn't want to die on. Before I could even finish forming a coherent thought, the car swerved hard to the side of the road and comes to a sudden stop, sending me flying into the dash. My forehead collides with the smooth leather of the dashboard. I hear him rustling around, but can't see much due to the black spots in my vision. You know, from literally eating the dash. I hear the sound of something popping open and then liquid being poured. "Tell me kitten," I hear him say slyly. "Does this smell like chloroform?" He chuckles as he reaches across the console to press a rag to my face. Emily Watts, twenty years old and living alone in LA, due to her parents being drunken assholes. She had barely any money to her name, and worked at a small diner, trying to earn some money. Emily's life was in a constant loop, work and sleep.
