“please…don’t…" Xavier’s eyes were begging me with his unspoken request. I knew I could stop, so very easily and let it go. But I also knew that I couldn’t. I knew that if I stopped, she would slit his throat, and kill him right there. She would take him and make him pay, for everything that I had done, for everything that was my fault. Xavier was being selfless, just like Xander and Avril had been…but did they really deserve to die for this?
“Scarlett, don’t!” Avril shouted.
She had voiced what Xavier hadn’t. She didn’t care that if I stopped, she would die too. She didn’t care that if I stopped, I’d make the same mistake that Nathan had. She didn’t care that if I stopped, she would not live to see her happy ending. She didn’t care. But I did. I could not let them die. I could not live with that guilt. I could not live with that regret. I had to save them. I had to do this for them.
I walked on and handed the devil the key to the ultimate power that she was hungry for, unwillingly. But if I didn’t, she would use me against me and destroy my life, and everyone else’s in this room. My dad died for me, for one mistake that I had made. I could not let others die too.
“Scarlett, please…don’t give it to her…” Xavier spoke. For a moment, his eyes held mine and I could see regrets, annoyance, disgust, hopelessness, anger, love and selflessness in them. The demons held him back, despite his attempts to run to me and tell me that all of this was a bad dream. But it wasn’t. And it was all my fault.
I would do all it takes to get them out of this. With this resolution, I walked to her and handed her the stone. I could see the ecstasy of power, of invincibility on her face when she turned to Xavier.
“congratulations on getting such a girl, son. Pity she wouldn’t live to see the light of day."

The Alpha's Summit
NOTE: This is completed but unedited. It will be going through major changes soon including with plot and character changes. Once it is all changed, a notice of Completion will be added! Thanks! Sins and Secrets Book 1: "How do you think all your little Alpha buddies will feel," he hissed, his hot, rancid breath whispering across the back of my neck causing my stomach to sink, "When they discover the dark secret you've been hiding? Do you think they'll respect you still? Do you think that little mate of yours will still want you?" At the thought of Tiberius, my wolf went crazy. My body jerked at the restrained that held me down, the smell of burning flesh filling the room as the silver began to cut into my wrists. "Go to hell." We snapped as my whole body began to go numb. "Oh can't you see, my sweet little bird," he came closer, his lips practically pressed against the skin on my cheek, "You're already there." --------------------------------------------------------------------- My name is Cara Eldoran. I am one of two Alpha's within my pack. Two years ago, I stood frozen to the ground and watched as someone I loved killed my older brother in front of me. There were no screams or tears. My whole body had gone into shock, and I was left to watch the horrors unfold in front of me. But I will lose no one else. Alpha's are going missing. They are being taken from their homes in the middle of the night and are never seen again. Sometimes I wish that being taken was my biggest problem. That all I had to worry about was making sure my windows were locked at night and that I was safe in the arms of my mate, but there is much more at stake then most realize. I vowed revenge for my brother the day he died, and I will stop at nothing to get it. Not even the dark secrets that could destroy me will stop my lust for vengeance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------Completa
Bed of Lies
They broke her trust. They broke his mind. Now the past is back-and this time, it wants blood. Victoria learned early how to survive in silence. Grief became her shadow. Guilt, her constant companion. Because if she had died that night instead of her mother... maybe everything would have been different. But the past doesn't stay buried, and when it drags her back into a world she barely escaped, silence won't save her anymore. Xavier learned how to disappear behind scars, rage, and the monster his past made him. A man shaped by violence, and driven by retribution. Victoria was everything he should avoid- soft yet unyielding, broken but still standing. She had the kind of pain that mirrored his own. She saw too much, pushed too far and worst of all, she made him remember something he buried a long time ago. He hated it. Hated her. Because she made him feel. What exists between them isn't gentle. It isn't safe or healing. It destroys. And when the truth comes for them both, they'll have to decide: Run. Burn. Or destroy everything in their path.Completa

Will it be too late?... ~~~~ "Tell me you don't feel something...between us." "I d-don't." He replies instantly clenching his jaw. "Good to know Xavious." I turn to get up but he stops me as usual. "I don't know what it is..." "It's nothing. Nothing Xavious. You walk like a brick wall whose not affected by anything or anyone." Before I could heave a breath he somehow managed to pull me under him. I gasp at his fast movement amazed by his powers yet again.
