Prologue
The dark stormy clouds hung low as a gush of wind erupted through the open window.
An under construction grey concrete building was in view; directly drawing my attention. A dark shadowy figure circled over the unfinished rooftop. My gaze followed its movement as it gracefully landed on its two feet; it was human. Somehow he was familiar to me even more than myself. The huge coal black wings which I knew felt like lush velvet, and ones which I had once fantasized would be wrapped around me blotting all the scruples and worries out of my life.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, his wings turned into a million shards of ash. A strong wind blew the ash away and in the blink of an eye there was nothing left to suspect that anything had happened there.
Ephraim moved to the edge of the rooftop. He closed his eyes, and opened his arms wide as if to welcome the cold breeze in embrace... after a second when he opened his eyes again, they weren't just the same; they had lost all their warmth and affection, that they once held.

"Well princess, looks like we match." a deep husky voice said into my ear. "Excuse me?" i asked, not completely sure what he ment. "Your costume. We match. Princess and prince." He said, gesturing to himself. Something about his presence scared me, but excited me at the same time. And I felt my heart rate speed up under his stare. "Actually, im a fairy." i said turning my shoulder so he could see my small wings. He gripped my shoulders tightly and ripped the wings from the material of my dress. His actions shocked me and i gasped feeling his warm hand on my neck and breath at my ear. "Not anymore, love. You're my princess now." I turned my head to look at him and found his face intimidatingly close to mine. I was searching through my head looking for anything to say.

Winged
As he touched my hand an image of me as a child with white wings covered my vision. "Don't you see?" He stared at me intently. I laughed as though the image never occurred. "I have no idea, what you are talking about, excuse me" I wrenched my hand from his strong grasp and quickly left the scene. As I walked outside black feathers began to fall from the sky. Looking around the boy from early was back. "You can't hide from your destiny." His voice echoed behind me as I took off down the street. The flapping of wings pursued me. I picked up speed, trying to out run whatever beast was behind me. "I will find you, just remember this I have no intention of hurting you, Rhea." His dark voice echoed through my body and sent chills down my spine. I stopped as the sound of beating wings ended. I looked around and behind me I found the boy, but behind him were black wings stretched out to the sky. He took off into...Complete
Red
I twist the end of the red strings that tie around my neck. My red hood flying behind me, as if wings. I hear a loud creak and turn around quickly. The red eyes glow amongst the darkness. The air reeked of the smell of sulfur. I point my crossbow into the darkness. "Show yourself" I shout out calmly. "Oh, little miss Red, you are looking for Jenivive, aren't you? Well it's just me, her loyal servant" The voice echoes through the abandoned factory. Damn it! "Bastian, show yourself!" I yell, and hear the sound of someone running. I turn around to see Bastian in my face, no breathe flowed from his mouth. I immediately shoot, sending holy water into its core, and into its blood stream. It falls over and begins spazing out. "Go back to hell!" I yell and stab it with my blade. My red hood flew backwards, causing my black hair to be shown. My black boots stretched to my knees. My crystal blue eyes shown bright. My red lips perfectly placed. Many people said I was the definition of beauty.Complete
Mrs. Claus
I'm way too tired for this. My bones cracked as I ran breathlessly. I ran and ran for my life. I turned and jumped upon heavy thick roofs. Each time my shoes collided with the grey tiles, they shook under my force. "Where am I?" I sucked in air harshly. I flashed my eyes around and nod. A hospital. I crept through a secured roof passage as I saw silent blurs fade into appearance. Slowly. they crept. Quietly they were gaining. I turned my head as I twisted and maneuvered past various of lengthy deep hall ways. More than three dozens E.L.V.E.S glided in my direction. I cursed under my breath as my heart sped so fast I could hear it's pain. They were too close, d*mn it! Instantly, footsteps came speeding down the halls like tapping raindrops in unison. They caught up. Everyone froze.Complete
It Wasn't Love ✔️
"Fuck." He whispers into my neck, sending a thrill of excitement through my body. His lips still smothered kisses over my neck and his hands roamed my body, starting at my chest, going down to my stomach. Caressing my soft skin, his thumb trailed circles on my groin before slightly slipping into the waistband of my jeans. My breath catches in my throat as I pull at the hoodie that covered his chiselled body. Understanding, Jacob pulls it off in one swift movement before attaching his lips back on my neck. Sucking and biting it before flicking his tongue over the sore spot. A quiet moan leaves my mouth and I clasp my hand over it, denying any noise to escape.

"How dare you? Ariana, how dare you?" I could feel the anger from his heart radiate through his ears. the tears that kept rolling down my cheeks were unstoppable.

"Heart of Stone, Heart of Gold "
*Prologue* --- The moon hung high in the night sky, casting an eerie glow over the dense forest. The pack gathered in a clearing, their eyes fixed on the imposing figure of Alpha Blackthorn. He stood tall, his presence commanding respect and loyalty from every werewolf present. His voice, calm and fair, resonated through the night as he addressed his pack. But just beyond the circle of light, in the shadows of the trees, lurked Xander Blackthorn. His eyes, fierce and unyielding, scanned the perimeter for any threat to his brother. The pack knew better than to approach him; his reputation as the most rugged and non-approachable member of the clan was well-earned. It was this very demeanor that had kept him from finding his mate, a fate that seemed to weigh heavily on his solitary heart. As the alpha continued his speech, a sudden rustle in the bushes caught everyone's attention. Xander stepped forward, a low growl rumbling in his chest. The pack tensed, ready for whatever danger might emerge. But Alpha Blackthorn raised a hand, his calm demeanor never wavering. "Stand down, Xander," he said softly. "We are safe here." Reluctantly, Xander retreated, his eyes never leaving the shadows. The pack exhaled a collective breath, their respect for the alpha deepening. They knew that as long as the Blackthorn brothers stood together, they were unstoppable. Despite Xander's intimidating presence, his loyalty to his brother was unwavering, a bond that no one dared to question. But then, as the pack dispersed, Xander's eyes fell upon Thalia, a human who had somehow found her way into their world. For the first time, his steely exterior softened. There was something about her that drew him in, something that made him believe that perhaps his fate was not as solitary as he had always thought. His wolf inside him whispered "Mate" . All she could see was glowing olive green eyes piercing through the foliage.Complete

When I have enough chapters edited and to my liking, I will start posting them on a schedule starting at the end of the discontinued chapters or I'll make a separate book for the new version. If you have questions about, don't hesitate to ask. The roof crashed down at the speed of lightning, crushing me under the table as I gasped for air. My mind scrambling to process what had happened as I felt rubble falling around me, surrounding me in darkness. I reached up, my arm stinging as I hit the hard wood table over me, which was keeping the rubble off me, miraculously. I wiped my forehead, sweat, and probably blood dripping down my arm and side of head as I reached for a nearby rock, trying to push on it, hoping that it might help me out of this disaster. "Mom? Betty?" I called, hoping for a response, only to get none. I didn't even get the slightest whimper from any of them. What the heck happened? "Mom?! Betty?!" I screamed this time, trying to push myself up onto my back, my leg killing me so much that I had to give up. I laid back down on the ground, placing my hand on the bottom of the table; anger, fear, confusion getting the best of me. I screamed as I banged my fists on the wood table. "MOM? BETTY?" Nothing. I was ready to bang on the wood again, but I flinched back when I heard the sound of moving rubble. Whoever it is was almost near where I was, and ... moving quickly. So, there's no possible way that it was a human. It would take hundreds do men to lift these boulders, but whoever this person is, is stronger than anyone I would kn- My thoughts froze as I watched something large wrap around the edges of the table, lifting it up; my eyes widening as I came face to face with the largest creature known to mankind. A giant. (This is my book from my own brain. These are my own characters based off my family members. Please do not steal it.)Complete
