My name is Kaidance Monroe, and sometimes when I touch people, I see how they die. After I saw my little brother's death but failed to stop it, my parents abandoned me to a juvenile detention facility. I don't let people touch me anymore. Not my fingertips, not my skin, not my heart.
Just before I turned 18, I got a visit from a cute guy, who tricked me into giving up my secrets. He said I was special, but he wasn't the only searching for me. I barely escaped with my life. Now I'm in a mansion, learning how to control my abilities - abilities so powerful, even the gods are jealous. I didn't mean to make anyone fall for me. Certainly not my would-be killer. And I never imagined how far he would fall.
The Scarlet Thread is a dark fantasy for fans of Greek mythology and Gothic romance. Fans of Fallen and Percy Jackson will be captivated by this mashup of fallen angels and forgotten gods.
This is PART ONE of the first book in the Fated Destruction series.

BOOK ONE of Forsaken Fates Series -SABLE- I grew up on the wrong side of Sterling Pines, where omegas learn not to ask for things they won't be given. When fate bound me to four alpha wolves, the golden boys of the elite, they rejected me without hesitation. They didn't realize what I was to them. They don't remember the night they shattered me.

Like something vital was ripped out and taken where we can't follow. She won't look at us. She won't soften. She treats us like predators and it's driving us insane. We watch her move through the world without us, colder, stronger, untouched by our regret. The omega we dismissed has become unreachable, and the bond won't let us stop circling. We want to claim her. We want to fix it. We want what we're no longer sure we deserve. She says we're too late. The bond says she's still ours. One of us is lying.

To Mend a Broken Memory - [Troy Otto]
A popular legend says that there exists an invisible red thread linking two people together. What the legend doesn't state is whether that red comes from love, or from blood. "I could have never forgiven him for what he did to me. Memories keep storming in my mind without warning, and they hit me in the face like a frozen wind. I was taken away from my parents, from my boyfriend, from everything I knew and thrown in some godforsaken lab. Then came Him, to make my life a living hell, the only successful experiment he's ever done. Because this place kills your soul even if you make it out alive. I am Leyla Monteiro, and this is my story. I hope I'll have the chance to get to the end of it. " Disclaimer: All rights reserved.

"I know you're a virgin but have you never been touched?" He asked, sliding his other hand down onto her leg. "What makes you say that?" Kat breathed, bracing her hands on the counter. "You react like someone who's never felt another's touch," Nex whispered, slipping his thumb under the band of her shorts. "So, have you not?" Kat opened her mouth to speak but stopped when his hand slid up from her leg, gliding up her stomach and stopping just below her breast. "Not even here?" He asked, following the curve of her breast with one finger, not touching, staying just below as he dragged it back and forth. "What about here?" He asked, sliding his hand down from her ribs to the bottom of her shorts then around to her butt, fingers nearly grazing it as he inched them up, under her pajamas. "I can say with certainty, never here," he said, lowering his other hand under the waistband of her shorts, touching the top of her underwear. "No, you've definitely never felt that before. I can hear your heart racing, I can feel your breathing, I can smell your body responding like it's never experienced these sensations before," he whispered, sliding a finger just underneath the band.

Song of the Seraph - A Dark Fallen Angel Paranormal Romance
I never asked for this. I never asked to be drawn to him, a man with the weight of centuries on his shoulders and the darkness of the world in his eyes. But now that I've found him... I can't let go. Lily's life has been nothing short of a struggle-until the night she stumbles onto Seraphiel's doorstep, drawn by a force she can't understand.

The sparks between them could ignite something far darker than either of them imagined, something that may cost them their lives-or their hearts. "I don't know if I'm strong enough for this," Lily whispers, her breath hot against his skin. "But I'm willing to find out." As forces from Heaven and Hell close in, Lily must decide: Is the love she feels for him a gift... or a curse that will destroy them both? Can their love survive the darkness? Or will the prophecy tear them apart before they can claim each other completely?Complete
The Witch's Mates
I am just about to turn around and head down the alley toward the street when I see two shadows step away from the wall a little farther down from where I am standing. I can't see any features, but I can guess from their statures that they are both men. I don't know what species they are though, but given that they just witnessed me kill a vampire I decide it's time to get the hell out of here. At least they aren't blocking my path to the street. Just as that thought crosses my mind, I hear the back door to the club open and close. I don't want to take my eyes off the men in front of me, but I have to see who just walked out. To assess the new danger. Before turning to look though, I pull out my remaining weapon also hidden in my boot. A silver dagger. It's only really good for killing werewolves, but it can do some damage to other supernaturals too. I give the figures in front of me one last look, they haven't moved at all, and then glance behind me. My breath stops for a moment, and it feels like my heart stops along with it. *** Willow is a witch who hunts down and kills other supernaturals. After the Great Massacre of the Wiccan Community, their population had been decimated.

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. And you're going to love it." ---------- Thea Brooks, an 18-year-old college student, lives her life by a schedule.

The Beast's Kryptonite
"Mine." His low growl of possession took my heart and the fate of my panties. They were soaked through with arousal. Damn it. I stroked his face as he sniffed the air. I prayed he couldn't smell my body's reaction to his. His hand slipped from my waist and traveled to the rip in my dress. "I can smell how much your body craves mine." My breath catches as his hand finds it home at the front of my panties. "Why don't you just submit yourself to me? Accept that you are mine and mine alone?" His hand was traveling lower, and he found my clit rubbing it through my underwear. I couldn't help but lean my head back and moan out at his skillful administration on my pussy."Moan, my name, my innocent mate. Tell everyone who is making you feel this pleasure."He had ripped my underwear off me and threw them across to hit another tree. He propped me up against the tree, causing me to hold onto his shoulders for support as his fingers took advantage of my spread legs, my dress completely exposing my pussy to him."Absolutely Ravishing." One of his thick fingers pumped its way into my hole, causing me to moan loudly into his ear. "Seth." ********* Seth Knight was not one for romance; everyone at Quillwood High School knew that. If you were a girl, you were in danger of being his next distraction. He would fuck a girl, the girl would fall in love, and he would leave. It was what had always happened. But there was a time before he had become a player. His old best friend, Belle Rivers, the innocent, sweet girl he had known since birth, kept the darkness at bay. Their mothers had been best friends since high school and conceived only months apart. They were destined to be. He was her protector, and she had kept him good, but when his dad died, the darkness crept into his heart, and the only one who could save him was forced to leave him.
