~Eclipsed~

Excerpts~ Her blood is a curse—a sweet, deadly curse that I can’t stop tasting. It coats my tongue, warm and heady, like it was made to undo me. I hate her for how good it feels. Hate myself more for not stopping. She doesn’t pull away. No, she’s watching me, her lips curving like she’s already won. Her pulse pounds against my mouth, steady and unafraid, and it makes me want to devour her whole. “Enjoying yourself?” she asks, her voice soft, taunting. I don’t answer. Can’t. My grip tightens around her wrist as I pull back, her blood still burning on my lips. She tilts her head, mockery gleaming in her eyes, and I know she’s baiting me. “Does it bother you,” she whispers, “how easily I let you take it?” The words cut deeper than they should. Before I can think, I shove her back against the wall, my body caging hers. Her smirk doesn’t falter. It dares me. Push harder. “You really don’t know when to stop,” I growl, my voice rough, guttural. “Neither do you,” she murmurs, her gaze dropping to my mouth. And then I snap. I crush my lips to hers, tasting blood and defiance and her. She gasps against me, her fingers curling into my shirt like she’s torn between pushing me away and pulling me closer. Every ounce of self-control I had shatters as I press harder, deeper, desperate to consume her completely. She shouldn’t feel this good. Kissing her should be a mistake. But the way she responds—the way her mouth moves against mine—feels like I’ve just ignited something I’ll never be able to extinguish. **** His kiss is fire. A raw, scorching blaze that steals the breath from my lungs and sets every nerve in my body alight. It’s unexpected, wild, and completely reckless—like him. For a moment, I freeze, my hands against his chest, ready to push him away. I should stop this. I need to stop this. But the heat of his mouth, the way his hands grip my waist like he can’t let go, makes it impossible to move. “Damn it, Killion,” I whisper against his lips, trying to muster the strength to pull back. But then he groans—low, desperate—and it unravels me. He kisses me harder, deeper, and I’m drowning in him. My fingers curl into his shirt, dragging him closer, even as my mind screams at me to stop. This is dangerous. He’s dangerous. But right now, I don’t care. His hands slide to my hips, gripping me like he’s afraid I’ll vanish. I hate how good it feels. Hate how much I want him in this moment, even when I know it’s a bad idea. When he finally pulls back, his breath ragged, his lips are swollen and red. His eyes lock on mine, dark and stormy, and I know we’ve just crossed a line we can never uncross. “You really don’t know when to quit,” I say, my voice shaky, trying to sound composed. His lips twitch, a shadow of his usual smirk. “Neither do you.” ***** In a world where power is the only currency and betrayal is a shadow at every corner, the fae and the demon must navigate a dance of lies and desires, where every touch is a weapon and every secret could shatter their fragile alliance. But as their game of cat and mouse spirals into something more dangerous, they'll discover the line between love and hate is thinner than they ever imagined. And in the Undercity, where hearts burn and, passion can be the deadliest weapon of all. Will she find the truth she seeks, or will she be consumed by the very darkness she's trying to escape?

A Chance To Rewrite My Story

Let me tell you a little bit about myself. My name is Amy Churchill Bryan. I got married to Jim Bryan when I was just 24 years. My father, Donald Churchill was a big business mogul in the city before he died. I was the only child of my parents. Before my father died, he handed over a wooden box that had a special key to my mother. He had said it was a present meant for my future husband. I never knew what was in the box and I wasn't supposed to know what was there. Even my mother didn't know what was there. When I got married to Jim, my mother handed over the present to him. He opened it and he said it wasn't the right time to reveal what was there. Soon, I forgot about the present or the content and we never spoke about it for years. It had been 20 years since Jim and I got married. Our marriage became manageable and a little bit enjoyable after the birth of our first son. We named him David. After that, we had a girl and we called her Grace. And then we had another girl and we called her the name Matilda. Our marriage became better having kids around us. Although, I still couldn't feel this intense love between Jim and me but we were just cool. Jim would apologize at the onset of any quarrel and we were just couples. It was our 20th wedding anniversary and Jim had organized vacation for us. He had bought our plane tickets to a beautiful city and I felt elated by the news. "Probably, the first love that existed between us was about to be rekindled" I had thought. Jim had said it was a three days vacation and so, we packed a few clothes for the trip. We were going to a resort centre to have a good time and of course to have fun. Our kids were still in school and so, we had all the time to ourselves. There was nobody to disturb us. Jim and I got dressed up and left the resort centre. Jim later told me while we were in the car driving to the airport that he had a place to show me. He said it was a beautiful sight to behold and we would spend the remaining two days there before returning home. So, he diverted from the route that lead to the airport and headed to the place he had talked about. The road was so lonely and I became uncomfortable. "Hey Jim, where are we going to? Are you sure we are heading the right way?" I asked in fear. "Don't worry my love, we would soon get there" Jim had assured me. In twenty minutes, Jim parked the car and we both alighted. "Where is this Jim?" I asked again feeling more disturbed this time around. "You worry too much Amy," Jim said as he brought out a blindfold. "I'm going to cover your eyes now and lead you to the surprise. Remember, it's a surprise love" Jim said as he blindfolded my eyes and led me to a place that looked like the cliff of a mountain. "Amy dear, at the count of three, you can take off the blindfold and see the surprise I have for you" "Okay dear," I said in anticipation. "One…two…. three," Jim said as he gave a loud laugh. As I opened the blindfold, I saw Him point a gun directly at my skull and I was standing just at the cliff of a mountain. "Jim, please don't do this to me! I'm sorry dear" I cried for my life. At this point, I was in regret. Marrying Jim was the greatest mistake ever. I wished I could have another chance to rewrite my story. I wished I hadn't married Jim. Jim immediately pulled the trigger and it was targeted at my skull. He shot me three times and I fell off the cliff instantly. That was the end of my life! I was gone! My lifeless body sank beneath the blue sea. Probably, I must have been eaten by the sharks and whales but all I remember was that that was the end of my life. I was gone!

The Peacock's Lament

"A thousand eye's beseech the heavens, Why must the mortals suffer through the endless cycles of predestined samsara? A million feet have gouged the earth, Why must the resentful souls rest peacefully within the ground?” A desolate shadow desperately grasps the air, Why can the heart bleed without the slightest touch?" Ahantzi "Ahazu/Haz" Sundara Al-Tawas goes through each day as an apathetic dreamer, barely clinging to the lingering vestiges of his current existence, each day another mind-numbing struggle, within a monotonously unchanging world. But one day, a single divergence in his clockwork reality occurs, and his unexpected response to that single moment, leads to a rippling cascade of unpredictable events, and a brand-new world, full of passion, of betrayal, of sorrow, anger, grief, and joy. "Master, this world is not like the old one. This is a reality based on desire and want; brimming with unrepentant lust, and where love and hate are closely entwined. This is a world of fantasy and beasts. This is [Pandemonium]." Follow Haz/Hassan as he is reborn into this world, along with his loyal AI, [MIRROR], and the mysterious spirit, Babel, as they’re swept along in the turbulent tides of his fate, as he struggles to survive, and ultimately, ascend into prominence in this chaotic world. "When entering the cycle of karma, do not falter beneath heaven's eye’s. When entwined within the chains of morality, Punish good, and reward evil.” When confined within the stagnant earth, Shatter the pillars of unyielding change, and set alight the ocean of fiery rebellion."
