Just One Kiss Book

For centuries, witches and vampires have been bound by a blood-soaked feud, each side sworn to destroy the other. But when Selene Moreau, a powerful witch from an exiled bloodline, is captured by the ruthless vampire king, Damien Valcourt, their fates become entwined in a way neither could have foreseen. Selene is no ordinary witch—her magic is rumored to be the key to breaking an ancient curse that weakens Damien’s kind. Instead of killing her, he offers her a dangerous deal: if she helps him unravel the spell that keeps vampires bound to the darkness, he will spare her coven. But as Selene spends time within the vampire court, she begins to realize that everything she’s been taught about their kind is a lie. Worse still, she finds herself drawn to Damien—his cold cruelty masking a tragic past, his touch igniting a forbidden fire within her. As enemies plot against them from the shadows and the fragile peace between their worlds begins to crack, Selene and Damien must decide: betray their people for love, or destroy each other before destiny does it for them.

I let out a bitter laugh. “It’s ironic, isn’t it? You spent years making my life a living hell, and now you look at me like I’m the very air you breathe.” Lennox’s face fell. “Olivia, it wasn’t supposed to be like this—” I cut him off, my eyes blazing with anger. “Oh, but it was. You wanted me broken. You wanted me to suffer. And I did.” I paused, my voice trembling. “But not anymore.” Louis, who had been silent, spoke softly. “Olivia, we—” I shook my head and took a step back, putting distance between us. “No. Whatever you think you feel, it doesn’t matter. It’s too late. You had a choice. And every single time, you chose her. Over and over again, you chose Anita.” Levi shook his head. “We were wrong.” I met their gazes. “Yes, you were. And now, you’ll have to live with it.” With that, I turned away, refusing to let them see the tears burning in my eyes. •••••••• Olivia Parker was once the cherished daughter of a respected Gamma—until betrayal shattered her world.

He was standing tall and straight like a towering spruce, his profile dark against the moonlight as his long and slender fingers were wrapped firmly around the hilt of his unsheathed sword. His deep voice growled furiously while pulling out the sharp and shining blade from the bandit’s heart, “Aren’t you daring enough to lay your dirty fingers on my woman?” Drops of blood tainted the velvety carpet of the grass and the body of the bandit fell on the ground, numb and lifeless. I was awestruck by the smooth strikes of his sword and it was impossible to steady my erratic pulse. Suddenly, his cold and burning gaze fell on me. Though I never met him before, he still felt the closest person; an inexplicable sense of deja vu washed over me, creating an absurd familiarity that messed up all logic. Approaching me, he cupped my chin tenderly in his warm hand as his thumb gently wiped a drop of blood from my cold cheek, making my body shiver alarmingly. My heart was hammering in my ears and his compelling eyes riveted me to the spot. However, noticing his deep wound, I mumbled in a breathy and concerned tone, “Your injury looks deadly. You need immediate treatment.” A deep chuckle greeted me as he pulled me closer to him, wrapping his strong arms around my waist, "Don't bother about that, My love. Did I make you wait for long?" 'My love!! Is he supposed to be my damn lover?' __________ ‘Death is not a worry of mine Even if I must swallow poison I must have you, …’ ~ Lucian Mavis.

This is a story made up of my daily essays when I was in high school. I came to the decision to put all of my English essays into a story. I hope you enjoy these stories:) Also warning there may be spoilers about shows in here because I have finished them or was half way finished with them in high school.

Just call me “France”, I am 24 years old, 5’6 in height, 72 kg, with fair skin, and black hair. Currently, I am working in an insurance company. I am someone who is living and going with the flow of what life may bring because, at this age mine, I still don’t know what things I want to do and I also don’t know what path to take. I am someone who is wondering why am I still wandering in this life. I was born into a not-so-privileged family in the southern part of Cebu, Philippines. I grew up far from civilization and I can consider myself an old-fashioned man when I was given a chance to go to a university. Going to a university was my biggest dream those days and also it seems to be impossible to go to the university because I am 4th from the eldest and I have 4 younger siblings, looking at our family status and situation, it’s impossible for me to go to a university. Because of my willingness and determination to go to a university and get a degree, I really studied hard and disciplined myself during my junior and senior years and luckily I was able to get a scholarship because I graduated as the class valedictorian. I am very happy that time not just because I became valedictorian but because of the smiles of my parents, they are my biggest inspiration to reach my goals in life. Their happiness is my greatest happiness. Fast forward, I graduated college, earned a degree, and got my license as a professional teacher. I thought that after achieving those goals, everything will be alright but I am wrong because after I got my license, I don’t know what to do and what path to choose. I am stuck in my life. Above all, I am optimistic and believe that “All things work together for good”. Be part of my journey as I start to write my diary.
