Demeter was born nothing. The daughter of concubine, it was expected she would be the same, regardless of her wants. She would never marry, never come into her own money, and her only prospects lay in her own beauty and potential to pass that beauty on to her daughters. However, when a childhood friend comes into a position of power, he returns to court demanding to have Demeter for himself. Is he actually buying her freedom under the false pretense of a marriage though, or are his intentions far more sinister? Tirian is no longer the gentle boy she once knew, he has become cold and mysterious, but Demeter is determined to gain her independence, regardless of Tirian's strange cruelty. Demeter must simply outwit her devilish husband and figure out the Maze that is his  vast Northern estate, but of course not fall for any of Tirian's wicked magick either. For Demeter fears the longer she stays in Tirian's presence, the harder it is for her to turn from him.

He watched as her eyes skimmed over his dark eyes and black hair with barely a reaction. He felt his pride twinge a bit so he went further. Lifting his hands, he let the blood drip from them. Her eyes widened slightly and her chin rose. She looked at his hands then back at him. His dark eyes gleamed in a challenge. "You've not harmed me or mine, faery." She spoke out loud. "Blood does not scare me and neither do you. Keep your dog on its leash." Then she turned and calmly walked back inside. Intrigued now, he went to the window of the house and watched as she reassured her mother that the dog was gone "I'll see you tonight, reckless child." He promised softly. **** Marcus felt himself beginning to wake and struggled to stay in the dream. But it was no use. His eyes opened and he released the pillow his hand was gripping. It was the same one that she had laid her head on every night. His head went into the pillow heavily for a moment, breathing in her faint scent. He hated and treasured dreams like that with equal fervor. He rolled over on his back and stared at the ceiling. It had been decades since she'd been forced to break that promise. He lifted his hand and touched the ring that had been her last gift. It had been decades, but it was yesterday. ***I did not skimp on the steamy scenes so consider yourselves warned ok? There are also a few violent scenes that I'll try to remember to put a warning before so you'll have a heads up.

In this retelling of the Hymn of Demeter, mother and daughter will do whatever it takes to free themselves, no matter the cost. Book I of The Triple Moons' Chronicles * Up in the sky, in a world between myths and lies, lives a daughter caged on an island. She is Persephone.

He dwells below the earth, across the river Styx, between Tartarus and the Isle of Blest. No mortals can see his forbidden land until they pass away. Forced into marriage by her father Zeus, Persephone would resign from her fate. But when her grieving mother, Demeter, comes close to killing all the mortals, Zeus orders her back to her homeland. Given and returned against her will, Persephone takes charge of her life and eats six pomegranate seeds before leaving. Food from the underworld can't be eaten as it will tie one to the land.

The Moonlit Apparition by realisticfanfiction
14 parts Ongoing
Seventeen-year-old Tia has always felt like an outsider. Despite being the daughter of the Grandmaster of the Magician's Order, she has grown up without the one thing that should define her: magic. At the age when every child in her world begins to manifest their powers, Tia remains stubbornly mortal, her magical potential unmanifested and her future uncertain. On the brink of being cast aside as non-magical, she feels the weight of her father's growing disappointment, and the distance between them becomes almost unbearable. But just when Tia's world seems on the verge of collapse, her nights are haunted by vivid, nightmarish dreams. In each one, a hooded figure appears-a man whose face remains hidden in shadow, but whose presence is unmistakably magnetic. He whispers of truths long buried, and every night, his voice draws her deeper into a dark and twisted reality that seems more real than any dream should be. As the dreams intensify, Tia feels an undeniable pull toward the hooded stranger. His presence offers her an answer to the emptiness inside her, a connection that feels impossible yet inescapable. But this is no ordinary man. With every encounter, the boundaries between them blur, and Tia begins to realize that this man might not just be a figment of her nightmares-but someone from the past, someone whose identity is tied to the very magic she thought she lacked. As Tia discovers a dark secret about her heritage-one that links her to ancient, lost magic-the hooded man becomes more than just a guide; he becomes something else entirely. Is the hooded man her salvation, or the harbinger of her downfall? And can the darkness within him-and within herself-lead to the light she desperately seeks, or will it pull them both into a pitfall too dangerous to survive?

THIS BOOK IS COMPLETED but it will be HEAVILY EDITED and have things added to it in the future. I wrote this book when I was much younger. I didn't expect it to reach this amount of popularity so I will devote my time to bettering it in the future. ------------------ Every year, in our village and the neighbouring villages, we encounter, on what is suppose to be the most divine and celebrated day of the year, a visit from the 'big bad wolf'. At least that's what the children call him. Adults like to call him "inhuman" or a "wild ravenous monster". However, the majority settle for "beast". No one knows why he ruins this specific day for us, the day we can celebrate our species: werewolves. Some despise him for taking this day from us and forcefully exchanging our merry and joyful laughs to screams of fear. When that specific day of the year approaches us, none of us are ever prepared for it. He always comes at night. We are told to lock our windows, draw our curtains and our doors. We are told to hide. There's one main rule that we have: don't look at him. Because if you do, no one knows what'll happen to you. Maybe that's the worse part, not knowing your fate. Not knowing the outcome of your foolish actions. If he comes roaming your streets, you have a right to be scared. Us "maidens" are always encouraged to hide ourselves the most, it's women that he supposedly wants more. However, I believe that that is a cautionary excuse. He'll take you, no matter how old or how young, no matter how innocent or how corrupt, no matter your gender, all it takes is a look. Either he looks at you, or you look at him, or you both exchange looks. Either way, his senses will pick you up, and you can't hide. It'll be too late. The amazing cover is by @-blackrogue. The amazing aesthetics in this book are by @mackreadsbooks24 Highest Rankings: 1st in #werewolflove 1st in #fierce 1st in #defiant 1st in #feminism 1st in #monster + many others
The Demon's Lover ✓ by Soniador

"So!" he murmured, eyes full of malice, "it seems you have a choice!" He gestured to Serlina and Xenia. "Both beautiful, both powerful. One can save you, the other can save her world. Choose one, or both shall die." Chistian visibly shook. "I-I can't..." he whispered. "So this is your descision?" "No! I don't-" "Silence! You've made your choice. Live with it, boy!" the old man's voice suddenly boomed. And just like that, darkness reigned. ~~~ When Satan becomes jealous of God's humans, he creates demons to kill them off. Desperate to protect his children, God fashions Shifters from a demon's tears to protect them. When an ancient prophecy arises telling of the love between the demon Prince and a Shifter more powerful than all else, complications arise, more deadly than anything this world has ever seen. Just who is this 'White One'? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away." (Complete but UnEdited. Mistakes will be fixed as this needs to be rewritten, most of it.)
