Once every century, the seven deadly sins gather together to decide on the next location for the Tournament to be the reigning Sin. This competition consists of each sin picking a candidate, since if they fought amongst themselves, then the mortal world would suffer to the point of being worthless; something none of them want to rule over is a worthless world. That means that the world would already be perfectly corrupt. After that, then what would be left for them to do?
To aid their challenged spirits, their human, mortal candidates are, ideally, the virtues to their vices, that is, the complete opposites of what they themselves stand for. The Vices then are required to use their candidates to wipe the others out, while also corrupting their souls.
The last candidate to remain untouched by their designated Vice is not only left alive, but granted the power to either rule for the next hundred years alongside their Vice, that means over the others as well, or to end the Tournament forever with just a word.
Never, since time has begun, has a mortal ever chosen to end the Tournament, for the ideal candidates, the ones that win who are the perfect virtues to their Vices, do not exist.
That is, until now.

Forced to live with their guilt and still plagued by nightmares of what came before Rosa, Leila, Ash, Hunter and the others now have a new force to contend with: time.

The Shadows (The Paranormal Series #1)
Amelia; The shadows are following me. And along with them, follows blood-red eyes, dark hair, sharp canines, and a scorching touch. I thought I was hallucinating...but not anymore. Ares; I lost my fated one not once or twice, but multiple times. Seeing her again made me long for her smile, her touch, her scent, and crave all the moments we had lost. But I won't lose her...not in this lifetime. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I felt his finger trail up from my arm...slowly...gently...up to my neck, and my head moved of its own accord, allowing him more access. His finger found its way to my face and he cupped my cheek. Surprisingly, his hand was firm, warm, and gentle. His eyes looked at me with so much sincerity and warmth. He leans into my neck, and I stiffen up as I feel his sharp teeth grazing my neck. I expected him to bite me so I tightly shut my eyes. "Your fragrance bewitches my senses with an intoxicating allure." I didn't think he'd speak, and I most definitely did not expect his voice to be so...deep and hoarse. My mind finally registers the words he said, and so I opened my mouth to speak but a scream escapes instead as I feel him dig in his fangs. (Unedited)

Part 2 UPDATED WEEKLY for current readers He finally released my legs, allowing me to slide down his body until my feet hit the floor, but that was as far as he let me go. Heat was radiating off him, scorching me all the way down my spine as he held me tightly against him. His quick breaths were falling on the back of my neck with a tingling warmth that brought goosebumps to the surface of my skin. Placing one large hand on my shoulder, he wrapped my long brown hair around his other. Gently, he tugged on my dark mane, pulling my head to the side and exposing the tender column of my neck. Bringing his nose down to the crook there, he inhaled deeply, a rumbling "mmmm" escaping his lips. My mouth went dry. "Are-" I swallowed. "Are you going to mark me?" I manage in a stuttered whisper.
