READ LAMENT OF THE TRAITOR KING, THIS VERSION IS A POOR SECOND DRAFT.  LEAVE THIS VERSION AND READ MONSTER'S KISS

A tender sacrifice.

"Be careful what you wish for." Ash's voice rubbed inside of Netta's mind, intimate and subtle in sinister, double intent.   "I take pride in making you regret your many wants, desires - Master." 
            
As a child, Netta had made a wish upon a Monster. It was too late before she realized that not all imaginary friends can be forgotten. And that she was not safe from her boogeyman.  
            
A Human's lifetime after being disowned from her family, Netta discovers that believing in a dark fairytale may not be the worst fate she could suffer from.
        
Her people still fear discovery by humans.  Or their destruction, at the hands of the very creatures which they take their power from.  

And the death they once brought to mankind.
        
Magic is decaying, and the world seems no longer a place for Witches or Monsters.   In this numb cold, Netta discovers that no matter how far she has run from It, she cannot escape Ashwood as much as she cannot run forever away from her own kind.

The only way to survive may be to make a deal with her very personal devil.

The Wolf Witch by cheeseisjar
9 parts Complete Mature
Sora has no place in the world. She is meant to be a strong warrior, with the ability to shift into a wolf. She is none of those things, and looked down upon because of it. It brings shame to her, it brings shame to her family, and worst of all, it brings shame upon her prideful and strong brother. There is but one person who truly knows and loves her, but does he really? Magic is not the weapon of a warrior, magic is the weapon of a coward. Sora has been told that all her life, but she has magic within her, recently awakened, and so she has begun to doubt it. Still, witchcraft is punishable by death, and so Sora must be careful with her practices, lest she lose all she has. Sora is a better witch than wolf, though not by much, but she still pursues that craft in spite of the dangers. Her place in the world is a dangerous one, but will it last? The world she lives in is a dangerous one, and such a life as hers rarely ends happily. Disclaimer: this is a short prequel, Sora's story does not conclude with this one. If you finish this book and go "oh, that's the end?" it's because it's not the end. I'm writing a trilogy called Mortance that explores the larger world that this takes place in and concludes Sora's story more thoroughly than in this book. Go read that next if you like my writing, thanks. Please leave any and all criticisms you might have, anything you like and anything you dislike, I want to make this as good as I can. P.S. the cover is literally just a drawing I made in physics class, I know it's bad, I'm not an artist.
His Unexpected: A Demon Romance (COMPLETE) by Bailey-Elizabeth
30 parts Complete Mature
"Why have you been avoiding me?" I asked breathlessly. Ash lifted his free hand to his mouth and ripped the glove from it with his teeth, before placing his warm palm to my exposed back and pulling me flush against him. My fingertips flitted over his chest to lightly brush the exposed skin near his collar, and he hummed in approval. "Because," Ash said, leaning in to brush his nose and lips across my cheek. "You look devastatingly beautiful in red, and I promised I wouldn't push you." My eyelids fluttered shut as he spoke, and a tremble rattled through my limbs. "Ash, please," I exhaled, the draw I felt to him undeniable as we stood chest to chest, and I felt his lips brush over mine once. A kiss as soft as butterfly wings, but enough to make me burn. "Tell me to stop, Blaise," he rasped as he held himself a hair's distance away. "I don't want you to." --- Blaise Aoide didn't think demons were real, and she certainly didn't expect them to run the world's underground crime syndicate, the Decagon. But when her father trades her to notorious billionaire and supermodel, Ash Augustine, for a seat at the table, she discovers that beneath the world she knew lies the paranormal, and that she herself might be more than human. Ash Augustine isn't just one of the richest, most powerful men on the planet. Beneath his model exterior lies a secret-- a dark secret that's kept his family brewery thriving for centuries. But both he and the beast sharing his soul find themselves thrown off balance when a lowly mob boss presents his unruly daughter as the token in a trade. Now, Ash must face not only the woman living in his home, but the implications of falling in love with a mortal while sharing a body with the damned. --- COMPLETE plus bonus chapters of the next books.

"Adrian was bad news, and that wasn't good for me. He wasn't good for me. More than ever, he made my defenses rise higher than I ever thought possible yet, I couldn't seem to shake him. He was like an addiction. Every part of common sense screamed at me to run, to avoid him. To do whatever it took. It told me to not consume what he was made of but, my brain seemed to whisper, He's all yours. Take him. Use him. Do bad things with him. And I just couldn't resist. Feeling his touch against my skin, his perfectly full lips taunting mine, seeing his haughty gray eyes flare up at something that challenged him; he was out of control and so over-the-edge, beyond the point of no return, and yet I was drawn to him, like a magnet. I felt danger, and I should have been fighting my way away from it. Only, I was moving towards it, and its name was Adrian." After the murder of her father, Britt and her mother move across the country to the Salem Massachusetts area for a new life.

Adrian is an edgy, over the top bad boy who's life mission is to make Britt miserable. With a secret he's losing control at hiding, he makes Britt question her morals and every little thing in her life, especially after she begins to observe some unnatural behaviors coming from herself. What she doesn't realize is that she's already been thrusted into a world that would take a miracle to get out of. And despite everything Adrian does to torment her and make her breath catch, she can't help but feel a draw to him. After all, not everything is as it seems. An Angel of Death. An ancient curse.
