Underworld Lycan Vs Vampire

How long can one ignore the voices in their head? Nine years. To Mark, that was the limit. For the majority of his life, Mark White has been fighting a constant battle for his sanity. The voices in his head pushed him toward madness one whisper at a time, and the music he used to ward against them was gradually losing its effects. As his mental state slowly deteriorated, Mark spent more of his time working on a game he had been developing and lamenting his lack of romantic experience. One night, the voices dealt him a powerful blow, bringing their battle to an end. To his surprise, Mark won the battle, but that came at a great cost. The voices might have disappeared, but a visual hallucination arrived to replace them, taking the form of a character from his game: Maids VS Apocalypse. Little did he know that the real apocalypse was already coming for him. ========================================= Check out my other ongoing series! On Webnovel: Valkyrie Smash.

“I, Alpha Michael Goldline of the Night Fang pack, reject you, Ariana Davids, as my mate.” He said, and my lips parted. I couldn’t say a word.

Warning: {Matured content} Before I knew it, he lifted me, setting me on his lap. I tried to move away, but his hold was firm. My pulse quickened as I felt his hands slowly move around my waist. The breath I took next was shaky. "Is that your heart beating so fast, little mouse?" Rhàdut whispered. "Are you nervous?" His fingers slid downward to my inner thighs, and I held my breath. Heat seeped through my veins, causing an ache between my thighs. I sucked in a gasp as his nails dragged over the heat of my inner thighs. I slowly closed my eyes, leaning back into him. Cool air kissed between my legs. "Say it aloud," he murmured. His face was inches from mine, and I could feel his warm breath on my neck. "What?" I asked, my breath ragged. "I know you want me inside you. Say it." .... Cover image belongs to me.

``` SELESAI! Potongan: Setahun yang lalu Raine keluar dari lembaga kejiwaan dan harus tinggal di panti asuhan. Itu bukan tempat terbaik. Paling tidak, tidak untuk seseorang sepertinya. Hingga satu malam yang menentukan dia bertemu dengannya. *** Ia menghentikan mobilnya. Cengkeraman pada selimut itu semakin kuat saat Raine bertanya-tanya apakah dia telah melakukan sesuatu yang salah. Ia bisa merasakannya ketika Torak mengulurkan tangannya kepadanya. Apakah dia akan memukul saya? Raine menggigil dengan pemikiran itu. Torak menarik kap hoodie Raine sehingga terbuka dan dengan lembut merapikan rambutnya ke belakang telinganya. "Jangan." Katanya tegas, "Aku ingin melihatmu, jangan menyembunyikan dirimu…" ************** “Roh dari malaikat pelindung akan meniupkan kehidupan baru ke dalam anak manusia. Tiga malaikat pelindung akan terlahir kembali ke dunia duniawi dan kalian bertigalah yang akan menjadi penjaga mereka.” “Penjaga!!?” Jedrek terkejut. Akhirnya, ia berhenti berjalan dan berbalik untuk memandang dewi bulan dari kejauhan, matanya berkilat merah dalam kemarahan. Serigala dalam dirinya sangat marah. “Kenapa kau pikir kami akan membantu?” tanya Kace sambil menyempitkan matanya yang serupa obsidian hitam, serigalanya mengambil alih dirinya. Dia adalah yang termuda di antara mereka bertiga dan yang paling bisa mengendalikan amarahnya. Mereka bertiga dikutuk oleh Selene karena tindakan buas mereka dalam mencari kekuasaan dan kekuatan tertinggi. Dewi bulan tidak memberkati mereka dengan pasangan sebagai hukuman atas cara mereka yang kejam dan memaksa mereka untuk terlibat dalam perang mematikan ini dengan para iblis. “Kau akan menjadikan kami budak bagi makhluk-makhluk sakit itu!?” Torak bertanya tidak percaya. “Tidakkah kau takut bahwa kami akan mematahkan mereka menjadi dua?” Malaikat pelindung sangat rapuh dan mereka sebagai lycanthrope tidak menghargai kelemahan. “Tidak, kalian tidak akan.” Selene berkata dengan sabar. “Kalian tidak akan menjadi budak mereka atau menyakiti mereka, kalian akan menghargai mereka dengan setiap cara yang mungkin.” Jedrek tertawa mengancam mendengar ini, mereka tidak peduli tentang kebangkitan si binatang buas, sekali mereka melewati wilayah mereka, dengan atau tanpa malaikat pelindung, dia akan merobek-robek tubuh mereka. "Saya akan menjadi orang terakhir yang mereka lihat, begitu saya menemukan mereka.” Ia mengacu pada malaikat pelindung dan iblis tersebut. Namun, suara berikutnya dari Selene dipenuhi dengan ceria saat dia berbicara. “Kalian tidak akan menyakiti pasangan kalian.” ============================ Sesi 1 (bab 1 - 394) : Torak Donovan - Raine (selesai).

Poor Lucy Wood never foresaw things getting this dire. She was borne by a slave woman who died after giving birth to her and treated as a slave by her step mother and sister. Shunned and rejected by Alpha Thorne-her fated mate-she is all but shattered in her lonely misery. Yet, the fates can be hilariously sadistic. Not even six months into her abandonment, Lucy finds herself in the custody of the most feared Lycan King, Tristan Landon. Fearsome, with a reputation to make even the bravest cower, Tristan rules with an iron fist, his law extending over the whole realm of the werewolves. Still, beneath the commanding and intimidating exterior, Lucy feels that there must be something far more complicated about Tristan-some dangerous allure, perhaps even a spark of something more than dominance. Thrown into the world of royal politics, ancient bloodlines, and dangerous plots, Lucy's life does another flip when Tristan declares her his future Luna. His impulsive move rattles the very core of the kingdom, further enraging Zara-a cunning she-wolf who laid claim to the position of Luna. Jealousy knows no bounds, and with Lucy's former mate, Alpha Thorne, they become a force to be reckoned with. They both join in an attempt to destroy everything she has ever loved. While trying to learn the ropes of her new position, Lucy learns some shocking truths about her lineage: deep inside her lies a power unlike any other-the power of the Lamia pack, a lineage of Alphas forgotten by time, whose powers can alter the very fate of all werewolf packs. But as Spiderman knows, with great power comes great danger, and soon Lucy's strength will be both blessing and curse. Smitten by his growing feelings for Lucy and his need to control the powerful forces surrounding him, Tristan must ultimately decide if their bond is worth the risk of his kingdom. But when Alpha Thorne kidnaps Lucy's child, an ancient prophecy is illuminated-one that speaks of a great reckoning, one where the future of the packs hangs in the balance of Lucy's talents. Amongst betrayals lurking at every turn and old and new enemies threatening her at every pass, Lucy must make her way through a maze of deceit, love, and power. Now, will she be able to find her trust in Tristan and become the Luna their world needs, or will the darkness within tear them apart for good? This is a thrilling tale of love, power, and betrayal. Lucy must rise above the shadows to claim her own fate before it is too late.
