Queen of Hearts by PolygonRunDaWorld

[Fairytale Series, Book 2] Kameron had lived her life as an outcast. Being the daughter of two billionaires didn't win her awed admirers, but rather the opposite: resentful bullies who mocked her for her wealth. However, a single exchange program changed her life. In a school overseas, she met Evan - an introverted IT genius who stole her heart. But an exchange program didn't last forever, and in no time at all she was boarding a plane back to Japan, leaving behind Evan and the first true friends that she'd ever had. She yearned to return, but her plans for her future ground to a halt when her father, afraid for her safety, ordered for Kam to be homeschooled, and to never leave the family mansion. Forever confined, forever trapped. And yet, her eternal loneliness and misery is broken upon her accidental discovery of a new world. Her very own Wonderland. But a Wonderland without a Queen of Hearts came with its very own Queen of Diamonds, and she was prepared to kill anyone who stood in her way. --------------------------------------------------- Based on Alice in Wonderland and Rapunzel.

"I wish you were dead", she hissed at him as she broke the kiss. "Do it, kill me", he hissed back. She went for his throat, the lessons definitely helped but she was no match for him. "One day you'll be able to best me. Lucky for me that day isn't today." Ivy had wanted to claw his eyes out, "you're a monster." "So is everyone." "Not everyone kills seventeen guards." "You're right, only the strong kill in our world. Too bad we don't live in a fairytale." "Don't dare make me feel insane, it's insane, the world we live in! The death that surrounds SkyWood is sickening!" "It's utter insanity, love." "I hate it", "as do I." Than release me from our bargain! Let me live a life free of you!" Ivy said talking of her sworn allegiance to him for two years. "No!" He said before slamming his mouth back to hers. Their kisses were insanity. Crazy to a fault. "I love you." Ivy hated when he said it, "no you don't. One with a black heart cannot love." "I fucking love you with my whole black heart." "You don't know what love is. You love the idea of love. You love how loving me makes you feel." "And how does loving you make me feel?" "Like your heart isn't black." "Fair enough." They kissed urgently, Ivy removed her pants while he ripped her shirt from her body....

Finding my Leelen [completed] by AlmaaaGgg

I'm weak and broken, tormented by monsters that keep reaching for me, touching my body, hurting me, living marks on my skin and soul. I don't know how it feels to sleep without waking up in the middle of the night sweating, incapable of defending myself, too afraid to scream for help. Until I meet him. He is strong enough to cast away the nightmares, to fight my demons scaring them away, to erase my scars with his tender touch. He teaches me to fight back, to be strong, to scream for help because now there is someone always coming to my rescue. Because now I have someone who loves me. Now I have him, my beautiful warrior, my soulmate, my leelen. We might not have met like normal people would, but again we are not normal and we are definitely not people. Even so our bond is stronger than anything and anyone. But finding my leelan is not the end of my story, it's just the beginning...

With Hearts to Hear| ✔ by xxbrokenrecordsxx

Book #4 in the Bonds of Fate series. "You left me. For 2 years." Killian's voice shook with the force of his emotion. "You chose to leave me." "Leaving was the best thing I ever did. I won't apologise for it." "Now you expect me to give you another chance?" His voice was angry, but he knew in his heart that had already forgiven her. How could he pretend that he wasn't in purgatory the entire time that she was gone? Or that seeing her again, was the first time the world seemed right again? How could he pretend that he didn't love her when all he wanted was to take her in his arms and kiss her senseless? "Just give me a chance to explain, please Killian." Rachel pleaded; it was strange he had never seen her bend so easily to anyone. She was a wildfire that couldn't be tamed, so then why did she look like her flames had been quietened? "Give me one good reason that I should." "Our daughter." *** Rachel is trouble. After her father's death, trouble and misfortune seems to follow her like a dark cloud. The only thing keeping her from falling apart completely is music. Killian is traditional. Though suffocated by his parents, the commendable way they handled their roles as the previous Alpha and Luna has Killian always looking up to them. He wants to fill their shoes, only he feels as though he is crumbling under their pressure. When Killian finds the wild, free-spirited, hurricane in his Soulmate Rachel, he falls deeply for her. His parents on the other hand, do not. When his parents decide that Rachel is not the mate that they want for their son, they threaten to drive the couple apart. These two must challenge tradition, and family if they want their love to survive. But, sometimes you have to lose before you can love. "The greatest music comes from within..."

The Envoy of Darkness by maxanonymity

"Everyone loves a good fantasy, but my life was turned upside down by one." What would you do if you had the ability to control the air? How about if you were suddenly brought to a world where, despite your powers, you're at the bottom of the food chain? On a fateful night, Max Walker finds himself summoned to Asterisk and contracted to Liliana Lockwood as her familiar. Forced to leave behind his life on Earth, Max begins a precarious journey into the unknown world of magic. Training as a knight, learning to control mana, battling rogue necromancers and even being mistaken for Duke Walker's son... it's just one thing after the next. But as if that wasn't bad enough, Asterisk, a world which subverts reality as you know it, may just have something to do with Max's own heaven-defying origin... and a secret that could leave the universe hanging by a thread.

Foster's (Completed) (Book 1) by AvalonReese

~Are you afraid of Monsters?~ For as long as she could remember, Angelica Foster has wanted a family. Bouncing in and out of foster care, she had long since given up the idea of her real family coming to rescue her and instead turned to making her own family. And she almost got it. She had the serious boyfriend, the cute little house, the good job and good friends she'd trust to take care of any future children if something were to happen to her. And then ~it~ showed up. The monster in the shadows that followed her everywhere constantly asking her to be her friend. Angelica was certain she was going crazy and did everything she could to get rid of it. Priests, holy water, voodoo rituals, but still it wouldn't leave. When Angelica's boyfriend can't handle what's going on with her and breaks up with her, she's determined to hold onto everything she has left. So she decides to play this monster's game... quite literally. Now Angelica has the house, she has the job and she has a supernatural roommate and is collecting more as time goes on. But having monsters for roommates brings a whole different kind of problems. Like how to feed them, how to keep them from bothering the neighbors with haunting shenanigans, and, how suddenly she's getting more and more visits from local police. Angelica is going to find out that family is what you make it. And monsters, well, they need love too.

~Innocent Demoness~ by IHaveNoOneAtAll

Femi's life was always quite chill, even as Satan's daughter. She wasn't the typical evil demon everyone thinks she is. But things are starting to get a lot more hectic and she is finally starting to become a true demon. "Then all I felt was rage. Rage because they were ruining my time with my mates, rage because they were messing up my really peaceful life as Satan's daughter, and rage because they were hurting people around me. All I saw was red, and before I knew it, my horns and tail were sprouting. It hurt like f*cking hell. During that, somehow the ground had started opening up because of me. I didn't know what I was doing but it was happening. There were flames coming from the cracks on the ground, and I recognized them as hellfire. "Hell's nature wants you to use its power," said Dimona, shocked. My eyes widened. Hellfire was extremely deadly. Any living thing that touches it dies. That's why it's only found in the barren parts of Hell as it's too dangerous to have in the actual Hell city. I calmly collected my thoughts and agreed. I had nothing to lose. I wanted to put an end to this madness. The flames rose even higher and before I knew it, they were hurling towards me."
