Parrot Clasp

Rita Oreira, a fun-loving radio host known for her girly gossip, met a tragic end during a home burglary while trying to save her pet parrot. Surprisingly, she transmigrated into a fantasy novel as Lirian Nightwind, a quirky villainess from an evil family, destined to marry the wicked northern duke, Gabriel Sylcrest, who planned to take over the crown. In the original story, Lirian was set to betray Gabriel, leading to her own death by his hands. Fortunately and unfortunately for her, the new Lirian was protected by her two mischievous brothers, who were supposed to die alongside the duke. Their loyalty complicated her plans to escape the dark fate that awaited them all. In this new world, she had to scheme and do unspeakable things with the lunatic duke to protect her true identity and prevent anyone from discovering that she was not the real Lirian. Not only were the tasks out of line, but they were all for pure entertainment rather than any real purpose. As she accepted her life as his wife, she learned that her parrot, which could only say modern phrases, had special powers that made others believe it could see the future. If the parrot said, “Slay, b*tch!” Gabriel would kill a person on the spot. If the parrot said, “Let it cook!” the male lead would banish or imprison the chef, thinking the food was poisoned. If the parrot said, “Sus, very sus!” Gabriel would tear his advisors apart. As Lirian tried to change her destiny and save them all, she discovered surprising truths about those around her, especially Gabriel Sylcrest. Motivated to survive, Rita had to find a way to save them all. “The crown prince—!!!” “Say one more word about another man, and I’ll let my beasts tear him apart.” “You know, my Lord, for a duke who seeks power, you certainly have a way of making a girl feel… vulnerable.” “Vulnerable? No, my dear. You’re mine, and I’ll make sure everyone knows it. If another man even dares to look at you, I’ll unleash my wrath. I’ll have him begging for mercy, and then I’ll enjoy every moment of his despair.” “You can’t just claim me like that.” “Watch me. I’ll mark you as mine in blood and shadow. You’ll be a warning to anyone who thinks they can touch what belongs to me. The moment you’re within my reach, I’ll ensure no one else can ever have you.” “Is that a threat or a promise?” “Both, Lirian. And trust me, the line between love and possession is razor-thin. Cross me, and you’ll find out just how deep my darkness runs for you.”

Colossals, Titans, and Demonic Beasts rule over a world where no weapon, no bullet, and no missile can pierce their nearly impenetrable hides. Ruthless, cunning, and more brutal than any human, these creatures brought humanity to the edge of extinction. When half the population fell, a harsh truth emerged: only a monster could defeat a monster: ONLY A MONSTER COULD KILL A MONSTER. Humanity became monsters. In this world, one could only become stronger by fusing, merging and splicing their cells with monsters to become Exomorphers! Ezra reincarnated into this world with a cheat system that allowed him to fuse ordinary farm animals into higher grade monsters! [You have fused 100 sheeps, 100 horses, 100 cat-fishes and 100 chicken together!] [Congratulations, you have acquired a Mythical Qilin!] … [You have fused 100 lions, 100 eagles, 50 magma salamanders together!] [Congratulations, you have acquired a Mythical Inferno Griffin!] … [You have fused 100 parrots, 100 diamonds, 100 fireflies, and 50 flamingos together!] [Congratulations, you have acquired a Mythical Crystal Phoenix!] … While others risks their lives and spend their family fortunes to tame legendary beasts, Ezra only fuses farm animals to create mythical beasts! Ezra’s Dad: “W-where are my chickens!?” Ezra: “ A flying mythical beast attacked and ate them all!” Ezra’s Dad: “A thousand of them!?” Ezra: “Uhm. It was very hungry.” (Note: This is not your regular beast taking novel. The beasts are no where near cute nor is there a special cuddly bond between Host and Symbiote!)

WARNING: Mature Content. Winner of WPC #197 (Silver) The handmaiden's hurried footsteps can be heard in the hallway, followed by a loud slamming of the door. When we were finally left alone, Rin's calm voice can be heard, "I don't like that maid of yours, I will have to get you a new one within the week." I nodded, by this time I am used to having my handmaidens changed. He took the comb and started combing my hair, his dark eyes looking straight into my eyes, the sheer perfection of his face in contrast to my ever-plain-looking face. I looked away, I can't bear looking at it, it reminds me of the book that I'm in and how this is not a fairytale. He held me by the shoulders and asked in a cold voice, "Why do you look away? Is the idea of us still so intolerable for you?" I don't know how to answer him so I just nodded and bit my lower lip. He carried me to bed as he kissed my hair. Then, he laid me on the bed, his eyes boring through mine. "I hate that you are afraid of me, and that the idea of us is unacceptable to you. But right now, the only thing making you stay with me is fear of what I'd do if I lose you, I have no choice but to hold onto it. Forgive me Maru, I have no choice but to cherish the fear I have inflicted on you." He disrobed me, his calloused hands rough against my skin, feeling, touching, and leaving warmth where it landed. I winced every time his fingers land on a bruise, or on some of the fresh marks he placed there last night. "Do you want this?" he asked me as his fingers curled against my breasts, pinching one taut nipple after the other. I nodded, unable to deny under his skeptical gaze, I moaned in pleasure when his lips replaced his touch. His tongue licked on a pinkish bud and then sucked so very gently. "Tell me, any time you want me to stop, Maru. One word, that is all I need," he whispered and I blushed as I was reminded that I never stopped his assaults. I was powerless against my own needs, in the modern human world, it seems I am a submissive. And right here taking me in for another torturous night, is my dominant. I am married to Rin Saito, the most powerful monarch this world has ever seen, and I... I think I may have found my master in him. "Raise your hands for me, raise them above your head, and clasp them together," he whispered, his mouth barely an inch from my ear. I obliged, my body trembling from desire and fear combined, anticipating his next orders and feeling my body give in to his control. He took a silky rope he has been keeping on the drawers of the bedside table, and smiling, bounded up my wrists. "Tighter?" his sadistic smile made him a bit more benevolent in my eyes. I trembled from excitement as I nodded my head. He tightened my bind and leveled his head with mine, then he dipped his head, claiming my lips as I squirm helplessly against him. He opened my lips and slid his tongue inside my throat, my own saliva dripping down my neck. "Beautiful, my beautiful Maru," I heard him whisper as his hands continued to travel down, stroking and sliding gently down my skin until it reached my undergarments. "You shouldn't even bother with this, you know of my appetite. I told you not to wear them at night, my love, do you really want to be punished that badly?" I moaned, his lips curving in a proud smile. "I like it when you lose yourself in shameless pleasure. I like it when I can sully the princess and turn her into my queen," he claimed my lips more possessively.

"Now, D-dear can't you take it easy for a today?". Lorcan slowly pulled his left hand away from his wife and grabbed her waist with his right hand. She slightly pressed her lips as she searched his eyes for questions he didn't say out loud. "I'm not pregnant, Leo." He clasped his hands with hers and neared to her face. "But we're not absolutely sure yet..." Beatrice inched closer to his face with a cheeky smile "But I am". Lorcan nuzzled closer to his wife's ear and wrapped his hands around her slender waist. "How's this?" Beatrice held back her laugh and whispered in his ear. "That's cause, I'm bleeding, right now." Lorcans face turned from pale, to pink, to the redest wine. Pulling away from his wife he quickly passed himself to the gardens exit. Beatrice burst out laughing which caught the servants nearby off guard. "Leoo!~ Why do you have to act like that?" Lorcan halted his steps and stood in his tracts. "Why... Must you be so vulgure.." Lorcan pressed his cold hands onto his burning cheeks. Beatrice crept up on him and slid her slender arms around his shoulders. "Oh please, there's no need for you to be embarrassed. It's normal." A smile crept on her lips as she brushed her lips onto his ear causing Lorcan to tense up. "Plus, I want you to know I'll be expecting you this Thursday evening, My dear Leo."

In times of desperation, difficulty, and utter despair, who do you pray to? The gods have long since abandoned you, all the heroes and shining white knights were cowering behind pages of fairy tales, any figure of authority won't even bat an eye to you---who do you pray to in a reality that is only you? There is only you who can solve your problems in the cruelty of Mother Nature, only you who can push yourself forward under the weight of the world, only you who can pursue your dreams. But if you must pray, if you must hope in something else, if you have really exhausted each and every means possible... ...then clasp your hands tight and light your hands aflame, for there is only the ashes of your dreams, your wishes, your prayers.

[A Mafia's Weakness: Preview] His eyesight follows every Lyka's fearful movements. The more she could feel his gaze, the more her heartbeat seems to resonate inside her chest, either by fear or nervousness. Sighing deeply, trying to calm herself from playing, she took a slight glance at him. She could see how good he is at cards but she never thought he would be that good. She knew her eyes portrays her fear and his confident and lustful eyes beaming with desire werent helping at all in calming her. His shirt was opened, his knees on either side of him while he just sat there confidently filled with mischief. Lyka could see his toned chest glistening under the dim lights of the room. Smirking at Lyka with unreadable eyes beaming with excitement. But Lyka doesn't like giving up without a fight. But she never knew, if she asked him to loose he would gladly do so. She spread her cards on the table that made him smile at her sickeningly sweet, a smile that says somehting dark and sinful. He reared his seat before rubbing the palm of his hands together. His deceptive eyes were staring intently at her. Playing with her with his eyes, he slowly lift hs cards upward. Lyka's face paled and her hopes crashed, supposedly, but it didn't, it's like her mind knew she wouldn't even win at him. But still nervouse and scared of what he might do to her. How could she even win against Yohan Fuego. Lyka who happened to shut her eye soff afraid of his laugh never seems to hear it. Looking up at him, she found him smiling at her devilishly, mixed with maliciousness, "Say," hearts tumbling around around, it's beats resonating louder than drums in her ears, he leaned closer to her across the table. "Which part should I claim?" ----- "Can you still love me now that you know how I am and what I do?" she clasped his hands in hers and leaning her forehead to his. Smiling calmly with relief. She've always waited for him to go to her, to ask her and for once, rely the answers to her. Leaning closer to him before pecking his lipsslowly, she whispered, "your flaws are what completes your charms." Letting his tears fall, he felt the sudden rush of emotions ran trhough him as he pulls her to him. Wanting not to let go even just for a moemnt. In that very moment, he knew it would be a rough road from there bu even so he would gladly go that road because this time, he won't be alone. Pulling a little back, Lyka beamed at him, "I guess I'm the Mafia's weakness huh?" Smiling once more, he claimed her lips, loving and savoring the moment. "Yeah you certainly are." ----- For love, just how much are you wiling to sacrifice?

"Ms.—" "Mu..Mugdha Jain!" She told her name with a nervous expression, while facing the mighty man, her employer. The man in teal colour three piece suit stared at her for a brief minute quietly before nodding his head, and speaking calmly, "Ms. Jain, I heard about what happened in the green room sometimes—" "Mr. Singharoy, pl..please don't mis.. misunderstand me, and let me explain ev.. everything at first to you once please!"

I really didn't noticed Aysha mam, or wouldn't have done it! I..I don't know how it happened, ever..everything—" "I know you didn't did anything intentionally, Ms. Jain! I believe you!" He spoke out calmly, resulting Mugdha to look at him in a baffled manner. For a moment she felt she heard it wrong, and just stood dumbfounded, while staring at the man in front of her! Her breathing stopped, while she froze on the spot, noticing the man stepping forward towards her with slow & steady steps. However, he stopped at a certain distance, and gazed at her left cheek for a minute before speaking further, "Ms. Jain, I know what happened wasn't intentional, and just an accident! I didn't called you here to reprimand you, or anything, so please calm down." He held out the icepack in his hand, "Take it, your cheek is looking swollen!" Mugdha was too stunned to say anything, and just stood speechless! "Ms. Jain?" Mugdha jerked off, and finally accept the icepack with her trembling hands, to place it over her cheek which was stinging, "Th..Thank you, Mr. Singharoy!" The man smiled faintly with a nod, and spoke further, "I know & believe what my fiancee did with you tonight wasn't right, she shouldn't have reacted that way! But trust me, she isn't like that! It's just..It's just a bad day for her, and she was also stressed after the long day, that's why failed to keep her calm, and misunderstood you! You're one of my model tonight, and you doesn't deserve this behaviour at all. So, I'm really sorry! Please don't take it to your heart, and forgive her! As her fiancee, I'm apologizing to you in behalf of her, please don't mind!" Mugdha just stood frozen not knowing how to react at all! This was beyond imagination, a man like him was apologising to a person like her, just for his fiancee! She just felt mesmerized at his humble & down to earth behaviour! "It..It's okay, Mr. Singharoy! Pl..Please don't say sorry, I..It..It's okay!" Scratching her head Mugdha replied after a long time, before bidding goodbye, "Mr. Singharoy, thank you for giving me the opportunity!" "You deserve it, Ms. Jain!" He wished her back with a small smile, and watched her hastily leaving the room, as if she was chased by some demon!

# QI REJUVENATION Spiritual auras were rejuvenated. The animals mutated and humans became summoners. However, society did not collapse. Mutated pets and summoners became part of the lives of humans. In the corner of a city, a jaded store manager was taking a nap on a recliner. Beside him was a small, fat, ice-blue dragon. As it ate ice cream, it flapped its wings and stirred up a cool breeze that blew over the manager. On the floor, a small, bluish-white milk cat was playfully chasing after a fat, round-faced chick. Not far away from them, a troublemaking parrot was vigilantly observing the surroundings from its cage. It was worried that it would become the dinner of a certain snake. A chunky, orange tabby cat strolled down from the second floor while meowing. After it noticed that the manager was sleeping, it skillfully pulled the drawer open and located the fish snacks that were wrapped in five layers. It then munched on the snacks. This was a peculiar pet shop. Not only did it sell various kinds of miraculous pets, but it also served as a consultation counter for others to inquire about ways to level up their pets. This was the one and only pet shop for summoners.

She spent every day an anxiety-filled wreck. One day, a group sent from the Werewolf King arrived to assess her pack, sending a dark and brooding Alpha into her midst. What she thought would be a death sentence from a champagne and coffee spill turned out to uncover more truths and secrets than she ever expected. ** "I swallowed deeply before making my way round the desk to the man that could only be described as the Alpha. He was dressed in black jeans and a blood red button shirt. His arms were large and tan, a hand clasped the arm of the sofa and the other awaited the drink on my tray. Stopping before him, I took a deep breath as I picked up his drink. The scent of him was intoxicating. So intoxicating, in fact, that when I got closer to hand him the coffee, my breath caught in my throat. All it took was the gentle brush of his finger against mine for my world to come crumbling down..."

Devin and Masha sitting with her ass in his lap as he powers through I don't know how many plates of food and she just keeps hopping up to get more and feed him. Jun and Lilly in quiet planning mode considering they are not going to be at school next year. Ben and Liz are kinda on the outside of the group and have been most of the time. I think things have been tense concerning the big trip but I'll ask about that when we are closer to leaving. Kyle and Hanna are chit chatting with everyone, Kyle being brought in still threw a lot of people outside of the group but we got him healed and while there could have been some sort of explanation I don't feel the need to do so to everyone in the school. Isaac and Allison are my second biggest concern this year as the two of them have been dating like it's a soap opera. They are doing fine then he fucks it up and comes to the group to talk to her then they get back together for a week or two before another blow up. Finally, my biggest concern is Natsuko. After everything that has happened and all we've been through after Kori 'settled the score' with Heather at Johnny's place my little assistant has been less involved and more distant than I've ever seen her. I'm still enjoying the personal time I'm getting with my crew all the while Kori and I have been planning for the trip. I've been working out the trip list. She's been on the more 'important' job of making sure it'll be a fun trip. I'm pretty sure a bunch of teenagers in a couple RV's driven by bikers being tailed by a U-Haul carrying two bikes is gonna be fun for all. The backyard party ends in the late afternoon and while most of the crew heads off to home, I wait till all the guests leave before putting on my coat and grabbing Katy by the hand and dragging her off to my bike. She's wearing a confused look as I hand her the spare helmet but she's not fighting me as we head off to my only true private spot nowadays, the shack at Johnny's. My bike is a regular feature and as soon as I'm off there is someone to walk it to a small garage Johnny had built for the equipment. The place has really changed, it's still got the trailers stacked up like ghetto apartments and teenage outcasts running around but once I get past the 'courtyard' and into the main section it's tools equipment and then the green houses. Still marvel at the work Johnny has put in becoming a 'legitimate businessman' but I've got more important things on my mind as I walk past it all and to my shack. A little expansion on the shack and the bed were done just so I could hold meetings there with my people but other than that it stays untouched by others. I get Katy inside and sit her down on the bed after closing the door. I take notice of my confused 'Bad' girlfriend, tight jeans that are torn up with hard black boots. I know she's got one of her tank tops under her leather jacket. I take my leather jacket and hood off and set it on the chair, then kick my boots off before slowly pulling my t-shirt off. Katy starts to pick up on what's happening and starts to undress taking her own coat and boots off as I get my pants down and kick them to the side. I move up to her and help her with her top revealing her large breasts clasped together in a purple and black bra, her pants come off to show me matching panties before I throw the former to the floor. I pull her up off the bed to sit up and kiss Katy gently on the lips which catch her off guard for only a moment before I have arms wrapped around my neck. Katy leans back, we keep kissing as she takes me with her to the bed, slowly we work our limbs tightly but tenderly around each other as I feel myself getting hard against Katy's covered mound.

Can Asher tame the wild beast or will Pepper burn him to crisp? *************** "Asher!" "Honey… I am home" The man Pepper got married to earlier said with a big old smile. Pepper screamed louder. Asher watched the woman in front of him and he watched his wristwatch. Great! It's been two minutes and her mouth was still open and his eardrum was about to be damaged. He grabbed her shoulders and he rubbed his hand in a parallel motion on them. "Stop. Screaming!" He begged her but Pepper just kept on screaming. Taking a deep breath, Asher pressed his mouth into hers to shut her up. It was night and people might call the cops if she kept yelling like she just saw a cockroach in her oatmeal. Pepper’s eyes were wide open as the shock of being kissed without permission went through her. She simply stomped Asher's foot as hard as he could and he stopped kissing her. "Ouch! That really hurts" Asher complained while he hopped on one foot. "You don't kiss me without prior permission, pervert or touch me or breathe. In fact right this moment, you should minimize how much air you take in, in my expensive apartment" Pepper waved her hand as she talked. "God! You must have been a general in the army in your past life. That or you were Cinderella's stepmom" Asher finally stopped hopping. "What are you doing here?" Pepper asked him. "Yeah! I think we got married...for real" Asher whispered to her like it was a secret he was trying to keep from getting out. "I know I was there" Pepper yelled like she was disgusted. Asher waited about two seconds for her to feel whatever she was feeling before he made his proposition. "I want an annulment, darling wife. Staying married to you will reduce my lifespan considerably" Asher had a straight face and he nodded like it made perfect sense. Pepper clasped her hand together as she thought of a solution to their dilemma. "Annulment...no, I can't give you that until Angel Michael let's my Gramps into heaven. Apparently, he is unfulfilled and…" pepper was interrupted by Asher. "Wait! Gramps is still alive?" Asher asked her. Cover is not mine.

I have one request, please "I said but he said nothing . "Can I see your face?"I asked. "Why ?"He asked. "We're married. I should at least see the face of the man am married to" I said. "Is my face the reason your sister refused to marry me instead?"He asked and I shook my head. "Not at all . I willingly came here, I don't even think a good to do man is gonna come for me anyway . My sister is prettier and more skilled than I "I said. "In other words, your king sent the ugly and unskilled daughter to me" He said. "You've misunderstood. Am not ugly neither am I unskilled. My sister just happens to have more of it and my father isn't aware am here in place of my sister. I wonder how you found out "I said with a raised eyebrow. "Go to sleep, Avery. it's late already "He said and I sighed in relief . "Your face?"I asked. "Its up to me to show you my face "He said and I nodded. I removed my bangles and ornaments and dropped them on the table then turned to see a handsome man with blue coloured eyes. How long did it take the gods to sculpt his face, his face looked so smooth and without a single boil. "Can I touch your face?"I asked. "You didn't let me touch you "He said and I chuckled . "How about we just touch our faces"I said and he scoffed. "I can't spare you after touching your face alone" He said and I nodded. "How come you're handsome?"I asked and he raised an eye brow . "I mean. You're supposed to be ugly" I said. "Is that what you were expecting?"He asked. "No. I meant everyone said you were ugly and your face is filled with boils and you're crippled too "I said. "So?"He asked. "You don't have any of that "I replied. "So what lesson did you just learn now?"He asked. "Don't believe what people say without seeing for yourself "I replied. "You didn't even state it right but that's by the way. Go to bed now" He said. "Are we going to sleep on the same bed ?"I asked. "Aren't we married?"He asked. "Yeah . We are but sleeping on the same bed this night? I think we're rushing things "I said. "No one told me king Lazarus has a parrot for a daughter "He said and I frowned . "I don't talk much. Am just surprised by the turn of events. If anyone told me last week that am gonna be married this week I would have called the person a joker "I said. "I see. So what were you intending to do with that dagger ?stab me to death?"I asked. "Nah. I just wanted to scare you off but I don't know how you found out "I said and he chuckled. Even his chuckle is handsome as well. His black hair complements his handsome face. "I found out my dagger was missing the moment I came into the room . Who else will have it but a girl scared her husband will force himself on her "He asked and I smiled . "I love your vibe "I said shamelessly. "I let you see myself for a night and it got you drooling and loving my vibe. If I let you see it for a week then you'll wish I was your baby sitter " He said. "Your face ain't that handsome. I have a male friend that is way more handsome than you. You're gonna drool if you see him and wish he will be your bride" I said and the door suddenly opened. "That's enough talking for the night. Sleep" He said, my eye lid turned heavy and I lost consciousness. ** *** ** Liam rumoured to be the monster king is an immortal who's seeking for a way to end his unending life after losing his mate, Isla.

Story of best friends, Kang Sola and Xue Guangxi, as they traverse their journey through adulthood, amidst conflicting choices and internal issues within themselves and from their past. Will they be able to resolve their personal struggles and find a common ground towards happiness? Will they have to compromise to achieve it? Will they end up together and overcome the threshold of their friendship into lovers or remain as platonic friends and each other's family? ---- She balled her fists, getting ready to punch the man in the face if the situation requires. They are, after all, alone in the room. Sometimes she forgets that Xue Guangxi was of the opposite gender – a man more than capable of beguiling innocent women when he sets his mind to the task. ‘Perhaps he had been gone for too long that I had forgotten how his charms work. That fact never left my head, but experiencing it firsthand… Well, Nah!!!’ She tried to shake whatever silliness her mind entertains despite her prudence. But what her neutral poker face could hide, her berserkly widened eyes could not conceal. Nevertheless, even if he noticed, the young man did not point it out. He was more concerned and occupied by other matters. Matters of far greater importance… …For example, her safety. She blinked several times, trying to disrupt the connection their locked gazes somehow managed to forge. She bowed her head, still blinking, and darted her lowered gaze to the floor. She straightened up her sitting position and swatted both of the man’s hands on her shoulders without force. But Xue Guangxi held her in place. “Look at me.” “What is it now, Guangxi?” She whispered. Her voice, thin and fragile and barely audible. Perhaps more from the earlier adrenaline pushed a blush on her face. Perhaps, it wasn’t the adrenaline to be blamed. She tried to swat his hands for the second time, but his grip only tightened, making his point more pronounced. Either he obeys or she does. Most of the time, Xue Guangxi always gave in to Kang Sola’s whims. Even when his temper wasn’t too great to be proud of, at the end of every argument, he lets the girl win. But in this instance, he wanted to be more assertive. “You always make me worry, Sola.” He breathed with all solemnity, like a prayer. The clasp of his hands on her shoulders tightened. She could feel it. She winced. Then, without further ceremony or introduction, he pressed her into a tight embrace, full of concern. Any person would be able to discern if a form of skinship was of sincere nature or not. Kang Sola could tell his was of genuine care and concern for her. “You are far more delicate than you think. God, Sola!” He cradled her head with his right hand placed just above her nape. Some of her balayage locks laced his manly fingers. ---- Other Info: Light story about friendship, family, love, and adulting.

It was a gray day outside and the town’s hospital looked gloomy in the later afternoon light. Somewhere a storm was gathering, but only a small cloud had scattered some raindrops lightly, causing a cold rush of air into the reception where a little black curly haired boy wearing a black leather jacket, a purple scarf, and black pants stood staring in the direction of a ward room with a confused expression, his deep, blue eyes was looking tired and worn. What’s going on? His ten years old brain couldn’t register the happenings around him and he felt like he was in a mystery movie. The last thing he remembered was being forced out of sleep by his nanny and she telling him that his mum needed to see him. But where is his mum? He turned around to look at his nanny, she was watching him with a blank but soft eyes, her face pale. “Nanny.”he called in a thin voice and she smiled faintly. “Come here big boy.”she opened her arms wide for a hug, her protective eyes not leaving his face. “I can bet on it that you are hungry.”she joked, trying to make him laugh but the little boy said nothing. He merely casted his eyes downward as he walked towards her, sliding to a stop when he heard the creaking sound of a door opening. He quickly turned in the direction and saw a doctor in a white lab coat emerge from the ward room. His face brightened instantly and his eyes lit up as his mouth broke into a smile.”Dad.”he raced over to the doctor and hugged him tightly. He had never been so happy to have his dad around, he needed someone to explain this mystery to him. “Hey chap.”the doctor’s voice sounded tired. He slowly disengaged from the hug and stepped back. “Why are you here?” He whispered through lips that did not move. “Mom,”the little boy blinked, raising up to him his eager face, “I came to see mum. Where is she?” The doctor, his father made a guttural noise deep in his throat, swallowed hard, and finally spoke. “Your mum is……Your mum is………..”A waterfall of sweat began to pour down his face and his breaths came in short gasps. Your mum is dead! How the hell was he gonna tell him that? Gosh! He had no ready answers. “Did she make it?” His son’s nanny voice jerked him out of his troubled thoughts and he moved his gaze to her, she was standing right behind his son and was staring at him with huge brown eyes incredibly sad. He shook his head slowly, too scared to utter the word. “And the baby?” The nanny felt her lips quivering, heard her voice cracking. “We lost both of them.”Tears welled up in the doctor eyes and he turned his face away so his son wouldn’t see it. “Take him out of here.” He croaked and walked away with his head hanging low. The nanny squeezed the upper part of her nose between thumb and index finger, blinking her eyes to stop the burning tears. “Let’s go home child.”she reached out to clasp the

Alison stepped back and hit her back against the wall. She clasped her hands nervously and asked. "What do you mean?" Alison could feel the man's breath on her neck. It was tickling. "You are Mine!" The man with deep ocean blue eyes said before wrapping his arm around Alison's waist. He pulled her closer and said to her. "You are Mine! All Mine" Walden smirked and his eyes sparkled. His lips parted exposing his perfectly white canines that were longer than normal. Alison gasped. She now remembered. All the times that she would wake up with no memory of what happened was because of this man. She remembered him clearly. How could she not?

When the man in front of her tried to touch her hand, she instinctively took a step back from him—as she didn’t want him to get hurt.  “Please don’t touch me for your sake,” she said to him.  The man smiled a little and replied,” Don’t worry about me, Celestia! Nothing will happen to me.” She was startled as he had called her by her actual name. She had kept her identity a secret—as no one is supposed to know who she really is.  “How do you know my…. real name?” she asked him nervously.  “I know everything about you, Celestia,” he said and moved near her. “I know you better than you know yourself—" Her heart throbbed when his hand got near her skin. She thought that he would be thrown away from her and get severely injured—just like all the other men did. But surprisingly, nothing happened to him when his sturdy hand clasped her pearly white fingers. With his other hand, he held her chin and fixed his alluring gaze on her.  “How... How are you even able to touch me?” Celestia asked him.  “Because you are mine—" he answered in a deep tone. “Others weren’t able to touch you—as you only belong to me—" She winced slightly when he suddenly grabbed her tiny waist and pulled her closer to him. Then he leaned down and kissed her pale cheek.  “Only I get to touch and kiss and make love to you! Because you are forever destined to live with me,” he whispered in her ear and made her shudder.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ He is feared by everyone else in her kingdom. His powers are infinite, and he can do things beyond other’s imagination.  Even though everyone considers him dangerous, Celestia sees a different version of him.

Even after she becomes his lover, she is unable to predict his true nature. What are his true motives? And what circumstances are forcing him to join hands with the dark side?

A kidnapping. A girl disappears. But not a single person knew about it. No one came for her. When the girl met her kidnapper, did she cry? Scream? Or did she desperately try to escape? Excerpt: A man, handsome, beyond words was standing before her, in the moonlight, he looked like a being out of this world. That perfect visage was ruined by a pair of bloody fangs. Stained with HER blood. "Are you afraid?" Still that question. She didn't answer. With a step after another, she came in front of him. Did she fear him? "No" How could she? He was the light in her darkness, the only string that was still tying her to life: he was the reason she was still alive. She could never bring herself to hate him, even if he were to be a monster, the worst that ever walked through the entire planet. "I kidnapped you." His eyes darkened while looking down at the woman searching for a handkerchief, his expression unfathomable. The girl smiled back. "No, you gave a new home." She started cleaning the blood on his face. "I will never let you go." He didn't give up. He needed to know, he needed to make sure that what was happening wasn't a dream, that it wasn't an illusion waiting for him to fall deeper before it shatters, leaving him totally helpless and alone. She could understand what he was thinking. It wasn't a foreign feeling to her. After cleaning all the blood, he put away the handkerchief. She started gently stroking the man's facial features. Her every single movement couldn't hide her love. Even those sharp fangs didn't frighten her, because she believed he was the only person that could never hurt her. "Who said I was letting you go?" She gave him a self-righteous smirk. "You are the only person left to me, if you even dare think about leaving me, I don't mind chasing you to the end of the world and chaining you back." She teasingly squeezed his chin. "Now tell me, do you dare to escape?" The man's throat overflowed with deep laughter. "No" The girl squinted happily, while the man clasped the girl's waist helplessly. Rising on her tiptoes and avoiding skillfully the man's fangs she gave him a peck on those thin lips. Not letting the chance slip away, he retracted his fangs, grabbed the back of her head and deepened the kiss. Now, tell me, Reader, are you curious? I'm waiting for you on the other side...

Demon King Alixuron Scalius is the ruling monarch over the Empire of Scornsije. He was cursed when he was but a child by the Hags of Conventrellis, a witch demon kingdom, to never be able to bear a son. However, this curse was placed upon him from his grandfather’s arrogance. His grandfather, King Lemorphin Scalius, was enraged by this but being upon his deathbed was unable to retaliate. King Sezura Scalius had died shortly after King Alixuron’s birth.

The werepanther prince looks each princess over with intrigue, lust and appraisal. The King keeps a small smile to himself, holding back a chuckle. “I’m the second eldest daughter, Princess Natalion Scalius.” The proudful demoness offers a slight smile as she eyes the prince and his procession after stepping forward. She places a hand on her hip with an arched brow as she does so. “I’m Katilis Scalius, it’s ever so nice to meet you!” The ever cheerful daughter came forth, her eyes gleaming with interest as she eyes the group with a playful expression. She holds a rather cute poppet that felt like it stared into one’s soul. “I’m Brightana Scalius, I hope you find your time here pleasant.” The next in age steps forth with a slight curtsy before she nonchalantly pulls out her journal once more and starts to write in it once more. She held the air of indifference as she spoke. “Oh! I’m Gripillia Scalius, please do feel free to share any stories with me.” The next daughter states with a blossoming smile after being prodded to attention by her sisters. She clasps her hands in front of her as her eyes sparkle with anticipation. “I’m Veriona Scalius, I’m glad to see the tales of how handsome the demons of Thropanio are is proven to be more than just tales.” The final daughter in line steps forth with sensuality running through her very movements, offering a wink and smirk as she brazenly looks the group over. The doors open, drawing the attention of the room to a smaller, daintier female surrounded by guards and attendants, her being helped to walk on both sides as she comes over. “Ah, this is my eldest daughter.” King Alixuron announces before turning to address her as she reaches the line. “I’m glad to see you’re feeling well enough to join us today my dear.” “Thank you father.” She replies, leaning against her sister Katilis before turning to the prince. “I am the eldest daughter to King Alixuron Scalius, Princess Doniverea Scalius. I apologize for my late arrival, but do hope we can be friends.” She looks at the prince with the calmest energy one can imagine, serenity coming off of her in waves. “It’s my pleasure to make the acquaintances of ones so famous and beloved as your majesties. I look forward to us strengthening relations of our empires!” Prince Verocul Howlsend offers a bow, followed by others of his party while all of both sides have smirks on their faces.
