He wanted the truth. He found it in her.
She wanted freedom. She found it with him.
In the midst of a battlefield, when hope seemed lost in the snow, they found what they were searching for in a union bound for tragedy. 

This is a novel, a prequel of sorts, that runs alongside my main series, Defying Equilibrium. If you haven't read Defying Equilibrium you can still enjoy this story, but if you want the full picture I would recommend it. This story explores the real story behind the Tale of Raphael and Desdemona, which you can find in the Lore Compendium (also on my profile).
But let me say one thing – this is a story of power, love, betrayal and war. Do not expect a happy end.All Rights Reserved

Embrace My Heart (completed) by BeingDreamer

*Short Story* It is difficult to stay with the people who look down at you like you are some kind of disease. It hurts when they don't want to acknowledge you for the good things you have done. It hurts when your family rejects you only because you are quiet and weak saying you are good for nothing. Annie Ryan was nothing but a quiet, innocent teenager waiting for her mate to save her from the dark hell she was living in. She had only one dream, she wanted to feel loved, she wanted someone to tell her that they care and would love her no matter what happens. But little did she know that she was just another unfortunate soul whose mate had different plans. Caden was an young alpha. He had everything but where everyone was eager to meet their mate, he wasn't. He had already given his position of alpha female to his girlfriend. But after she left him, he turned cold and ruthless. But when he met Annie, his mate, one thing was clear. He wanted nothing to do with her. He asked her to leave but when she declined, he paid her no attention like she never existed. Annie was broken. Her dream was just a dream. Every night she closed her eyes, she realized she was going to die alone with no one to care. She wanted to end her life but not before setting everything right, not before her destined alpha mate finds his happiness. Caden didn't know what he was missing until he lost it. Maybe that's how life works. Maybe that's why it is called cruel.

The unreachable mountain by Growened

"You're unbearable!" He kicks her with utter contempt. "Please tell me where I'm wrong, causing you discomfort was not my intention," she said crying, causing him to hit her against the ground again. "Do you think you can live with good intentions? Didn't you have all the time you wanted to change and learn? You still dare to ask for more!" He yells at her with hatred, he blamed her for being the one will cause a woman to be beaten; He didn't want to be that kind of man. However, what he lived with her caused him to bring out what he hated the most about himself from within. -Forget it love- said a woman who was next to her- it's not worth it- this dog was supposed to be her friend, she was supposed to support her just like she did; however he managed so that he and she hated each other and thus be able to steal it. The woman on the floor does not know how much she was framed and harmed by her naivety, nor did she know that this was the beginning of her misfortunes. Because of that woman she did not stop suffering, wherever she went she suffered verbal or physical abuse and everything was orchestrated by this woman; she didn't know until she was about to faint. "Why?" She asked this unarmed woman without knowing why she hated him so much. She never did anything to hurt him. She just laughed viciously without answering him, she didn't have to waste her time with an insect; leaving La to die imprisoned in the house where she was kidnapped. "Answer me!" She got up from her bed screaming "Eh? This looks like my room; Did I reincarnate myself in the past?" She ran to the bathroom just to see that her assumption was correct. She thanked the heavens for this second chance by promising that she wouldn't be fooled a second time.

And yet, I find myself drawn to him, like a moth to the flame. I know that he is capable of taking life without provocation or remorse. I am also cognizant of the fact that his fellow creatures of the night regard him with a certain... trepidation, and when he chooses to speak, everyone listens. He causes intense palpitations in my chest when he's near, and yet, I am aware that I must exercise caution, for I have learned that a Reavers charm is designed entice. He exerts a pull on me... a subtle yet irresistible force that draws me in, despite my better judgment. I know I should flee. I want to flee, but I can never bring myself to follow through. It would seem that I am drawn to the thrill of the unknown, and the mystery that surrounds him only heightens my fascination. The thrill of courting danger has never been more exhilarating. But it was not until I awoke in a foreboding place, surrounded by creatures that defy the natural order, that the gravity of my situation truly struck me. I had become the helpless maiden used as leverage to manipulate the hero. And in that moment, I regretted ever pursuing the man in the silver suit who courts me in the diner.

Not Your Luna (Formerly His Rogue Luna) by Chloexx919

He grabbed me, and I felt tingles go up my arms. I started to thrash around trying to get out of his grip. As much as my wolf wanted him, I didn't and I wouldn't give in. "Let me go, dammit", I practically screamed at him. "No. You're mine", he screamed back, sending shivers down my spine as I began to relax into him. I jumped suddenly scared that if I didn't stop myself then I would never want to go. I knew what I had to do. "I, Emma St. Germain, reject you, Aiden Douglas, as my mate." I sent him a pitiful look as he fell to the floor, through the mate bond I knew he was in pain. "I'm sorry," I whispered before running as far away from him as possible. ***** She didn't want a mate, she just wanted to survive long enough to avenge her family.

What is she supposed to do when her demons become real? ***** Disclaimer: This is not a book with a happy ending or a love story. If you want a happy ending, this book isn't for you.

Rise of the Demon Monarch by H_Books20

Book 1 of RoDM series. The black-robed man gave me an indifferent look, and I saw a twisted smile forming on his lips. "All your positive emotions and feelings, and you shall never again become happy or feel joy, cursed to forever pursue power. That is the price for your life and your revenge." I smiled. "I agree." I never had anything of my own anyway. This price was very cheap in comparison to my greed. Let a monster be born in my stead. Let the blood of my enemies flow like rivers. Let my pursuit of power be obsessive and never-ending. These were my last thoughts before the darkness engulfed me. ❆ ❆ ❆ Raphael Langston was despised, enslaved and thrown away. Right when he was about to die, he gained another chance at life. He will have to travel the Demon World, enter the incoming wars and change the future in order to perform his revenge and rise to the top of the world. However, there are too many mysteries about his own reincarnation that even he cannot understand. Who is he? What is the true purpose of the war between demons and humans? Why did they get invaded by Otherworlders? Raphael will do anything to get to the bottom of these secrets and find out the true meaning of his existence. TRIGGER & CONTENT WARNING! The book contains scenes with violence, torture, slavery and manipulation that may not be appropriate for certain audiences.
