I laugh at you pitiful humans who scurry about this Earth with out a purpose seeking only life, but finding only death. I welcome death. I know what is coming, and the Goddess of Darkness will welcome me into her kingdom when I die. For now, I serve her purpose. I fight wars in her name, and serve as her avatar when needed. When she first came to me, she burned the love out of my heart. Now I find only humor in silly human affections. Love. It's such a short and despicable word. 

Maybe I could just enjoy fighting until I died, if it wasn't for the city. My city. My own corrupted city that cast me out for saving one of the city's own. The city I spit upon for its treatment of the gods and goddesses chosen people. I swear that one day, I will come back. Something must be done, and maybe, just maybe, the Goddess of the Absence of Light might choose me as her instrument of salvation, or destruction.All Rights Reserved

Cursed For Eternity (Tribrid Series Book 2) by Life_Under_The_Stars

Have you ever just look up to the sky and ask the Moon Goddess "Why?" I have. I do it every single night for the past four years. I don't know if I'll have a second chance mate. I doubt the Moon Goddess would bless me with one when I literally killed my own mate with my own two hands. Now, Dominic. Dom. He deserves one. His died the night of our Ball. He seen her from afar a few weeks back. Just for a second. We were in such a hurry in our Village that he never got the chance to talk to her. He never got the chance to know her. I however, was cursed with a mate that betrayed me before I even knew who she was. I never got the chance to know her either. Once I heard her talking about ending our family. The thought of a mate I had went out into the forest. My mother. My fathers. My brothers. My sisters. Harlee! Who could do harm to her? She's just sweet and innocent. She's my baby sister. I didn't care for her explanations. I cared and loved my family more. To Odin and I she was a trespasser. She was the enemy. So, I killed her before she could do harm to our people. To my family. To my friends. It was her or all of them. I picked them. I would rather have her blood on my hands than have the entire pack. The entire clan. My entire family's blood on my hands. So I killed her without a second glance. I killed her with no emotions. After that night. I changed and it wasn't for the best. I changed and became colder. If I get a second mate, if she blesses me, I will reject her. When "Mate" escaped my lips I nearly died. Fuck. Why did she have to show up now? Why couldn't I have been blessed being mateless. It would make everything so much easier. But than again nothing is easy in my life. Do I trust her or do I reject her? Will the past repeat itself? Or will this lilac haired cherry blossom eyed mate when over my icy cold heart?

Save Me From Darkness by JRRivera388

Just because my kind are labled as demons - it doesn't mean we are monsters. But I am. I don't want the people I love to suffer. I don't want to feel the pain of rejection. I've spent my life treading the dark waters of the abyss. All I want now is to drink in peace. I don't want to hurt anyone anymore. I don't want to fall in love. But she makes me feel. She tears down my walls. What is this feeling? "I just want her to smile. Even if it's not meant for me." Warning: this story contains graphic language, voilence, and sexual content. Some may find the abusive language offensive. This story is meant for people 18+ years of age.

The Queen's Guard (gxg) by VerdxctNoir

A letter to the Queen; Perhaps in a different life we could be so much more than we are now. It hurts that I must keep my feelings hidden from you, but such is the life of a cursed goddess. Besides, you do not need romance in this very moment, you need support and friendship, all of which I am willing to give to you. But destiny seems to have a different idea. I hadn't intended to fall in love with you, after all, I have known you since you were shorter than my knee. If I had any idea that this day would come, I would've take precaution around you, because then, you wouldn't have fallen in love with me either. Do not worry Raven, I already know, that's how the curse goes. Its a two way street this wretched thing, and the only reason I am gasping for breath, clinging onto life by the tip of my fingers is because you finally admitted your feelings to yourself. I am sorry to put you through all of this pain, simply thinking about you hurting makes me hate myself, you do not deserve that. As my last wish, I want you to promise me that you will not mourn my passing, for I have lived a long and fulfilling life on this planet. Thanks to you, the recent years have been more joyful than I could've ever imagined. So please, do not waste your precious tears on me, this is what the gods have intended. I know you, and I know that you will try and prevent this from happening, but I've specifically requested for the guards to keep you inside the palace no matter what. I don't want you to see me like this, weak and vulnerable. My life is in forfeit, for falling in love is both a cure and a disease. Please remember me with a smile on your face, because you always looked so beautiful smiling at what you loved. I shall love you from now, until eternity, My Darling.

The Blood Witch by RavenMoonspark

When you come from the bloodthirsty gods and goddesses, you become bloodthirsty yourself. When they force you to feel their power, or either make your life a hellish experience in order to get what they want from you, chances are, you'll do what they tell you to. Bloodthirsty gods. Painful games that force people to fight to the death in order to get a small chance of survival. Love that turns tragic. Mythical beings who are all very much real. And of course, lots and lots of chaos and magic. If this sounds interesting, check this story out. You will meet the Blood Witch, forced to kill for the bloodthirsty gods who have taken her captive. You'll meet the warlocks who are kind, not evil, and all want to protect their friends and family. You'll be faced with the gods of this world, who are all very twisted and demented, a bit more evil than you'd think originally.

The Gifts of Mortality by eleanorkennedy14

Just as love has many forms, a love story can be about several types of love. Beyond romantic love, there's the platonic love one has for friends. Or for a group of people different from themselves. There's the love for things and for pursuits. And there's self-love. All are different shades of love. All are worthy of being featured in a love story. Samil is at the center of this one. He's a god, the God of Festivals and the Arts. He often sits alone in the city of the gods with his music and paintings, far removed from humans. He sits in a city of gods that feels the humans have abandoned them, so the gods have abandoned humanity. At the height of this separation, a group of humans gain control over the Goddess of Death, forcing her to kill their enemies and increase their power. All of the gods, even Death's sister, keep their backs turned on humanity. Except one. Samil knows he isn't very powerful among his kind. He holds no influence or sway among them. But when he learns that the humans desperately need the immortals' help, he chooses to give it his all and do a deceptively simple thing: Help them. He befriends a human, learning about humanity through her eyes and re-examining his immortality. And as he works to help the mortals, he also helps himself. He helps himself experience love in all its shades, from friendship to self-love to, perhaps, romance. If he can stay alive long enough in his dance with Death.

This is my truth by KristinaFigolah

My life has been an intense journey from a little girl who was beaten down and abused into believing that she was worthless, to a woman at 43 years of age who is still desperately searching for who she truly is. I found her though. I did. And she writes like me, from inside of me. She is me. This girl that I've been in love with since time first existed, is indeed me. The way that she walks. With her hands... and how she talks? The hearts that she's captured, the souls that she has inspired. I'm now trying to be her. I've never felt that I was good enough to actually be myself!!! I always knew how pure and clear and free I was inside. But people told me otherwise, in a very cruel way. No one ever spared my feelings or thought to speak to me with kindness or love. My parents were very serious and strict people. They believed that there was only 1 way to act and inside I knew that I did NOT fit in the parameters of the behavior expected of me. And every single time I made my Step Daddy sigh or frown it felt like I knife in my heart. I was a let down. Always too loud. Always moving too much. Always too fat and always too ugly. Always too much. Unless I sat quietly. But I've always been a firecracker and all of that containment really made me want to blow off! All of what was inside of me, swirling and dividing in me. Burying the side of me that I loved the most! I was a bastard and a blasphemy. Harsh words for a girl of 3. They said them when they baptized me.

The Chronicles of Onyx: Volume I by Raven_DarkHeart

***2024 Watty Awards Shortlisted*** https://www.wattpad.com/list/1642504418 **Action/Adventure Second place winner of The Fabulous Writer Awards ** War. For as long as memory serves, it has consumed the lands of Druzatria, stripping away freedom and peace from the kindred who dwell there, claiming countless innocent lives as casualties. For Onyx, life has been blood and sand. She is a gladiator, made for battle, bound by chains. She was forged in the Queen's arenas, raised not as a daughter but as a weapon, honed by violence and bloodshed. Abandoned by her father and gripping to the fading memory of her mother; she's learned to bury any weakness deep, to survive at all costs. Though her power rivals that of the strongest, she is bound-imprisoned by the Queen's merciless hold, wielded only as a tool of destruction. The arena has sculpted her into an unbreakable warrior, yet she is locked in a relentless struggle with herself. Haunted by the urge for something more. Until an Orcish Halfbreed enters the pit, the clash of their blades ignites a fate neither could foresee-a fight that will alter the course of her fate forever. Setting both on a path neither expected. Will she fall further under the Queen's iron grip, or rise and claim the one thing she has fought for her entire life? Will she lose everything she has fought to keep? What is she willing to pay in return for her freedom? And is she willing to pay in blood?

Broken Remedy |L. Odinson| by -hellsqueen

"She was his remedy, but like all pure spirits in this world, she was meant to be broken." Life is the state where the broken, tortured and frozen seek solace. Broken hearts seek the strongest of them all, tortured eyes seek the ones that can recognise the truth, souls of ice seek the warm fire of a smile. For every problem, a remedy is sought. And who would be a better remedy for the Prince than the girl with the ability to heal? Eir is a mere Asgardian with the difference that she and her family are close to the royal family. Her life seemed to have been just fine before it actually got better than she could have ever imagined. Only for everything to be shattered in the blink of an eye, leaving the young woman to blindly search for the destroyed parts of her sanity. Because, after all, the living creatures are broken, always searching for a remedy, not realising that the cure they are seeking might be as fractured as they are.
