The Undead's Personal Slave

Samantha never expected to find magic in her hometown, let alone in a dimly lit bar on a rainy Tuesday night. Yet here she was, perched on a barstool at the Black Swan, her world about to tilt on its axis. The air thrummed with an otherworldly energy she couldn't quite place. Ethereal dancers moved like smoke across the floor, their bodies fluid and mesmerizing. As Samantha nursed her drink, she felt the weight of curious stares prickling her skin. That's when she saw him. Marcus. A name she didn't know yet, but one that would soon be etched into her very soul. Their eyes locked across the crowded room, and Samantha's breath caught in her throat. He moved with predatory grace, all lean muscle and barely restrained power. Their first interaction was as intoxicating as it was bewildering. One moment, he was her gallant protector, rescuing her from an overly aggressive drunk. The next, his eyes hardened to chips of ice as he snarled, "Stupid girl," before melting into the shadows. Samantha's mind reeled, but her body hummed with an excitement she couldn't explain. Little did she know, this encounter was merely the first step into a world beyond her wildest fantasies – a realm where vampires ruled the night and pain blurred exquisitely with pleasure. As she delved deeper into this hidden society, Samantha found herself drawn to the intoxicating blend of power, submission, and supernatural allure. The crack of a whip, the whisper of leather, the exquisite sting of fangs – each sensation pushed her boundaries and ignited desires she never knew existed. But with every ecstatic high came the sobering reality of danger. Vampire politics were as deadly as they were intricate, and Samantha soon realized she was a pawn in a game where the stakes were life, death, and eternal servitude. As she left the Black Swan that night, Samantha couldn't shake the feeling that she stood on the precipice of something life-changing. She had no idea how right she was, or how deeply she would fall into a passionate, dangerous dance with forces beyond her imagination. The real question was: in this world where pleasure and peril intertwined so intimately, would she emerge empowered... or lose herself completely?

Das Biest Alpha und seine verfluchte Luna

Reifer Inhalt - Bewertung 18+ (keine Vergewaltigung) "Du siehst einsam und gut aus..." "Nun?" Der Alpha schenkte ihr ein herablassendes Lächeln. "Gebrochen. Wie jemand, der viele Schlachten geschlagen hat. Jemand, der verletzt worden ist." Sagte sie. "Das ist wahr. Und deshalb bin ich bereit, noch mehr Schlachten zu schlagen, wenn es das verspricht, was ich will", sagte Alpha Maverick. "Und was willst du?" fragte sie mit einem süßen Lächeln. "Den Tod. Den Tod aller Schurken für das, was sie mir angetan haben", sagte Alpha Maverick und sah das Mädchen an, das sich neben ihm versteifte. "Du bist doch kein Schurke, oder?" Alpha Maverick blickte in ihre bezaubernden Augen, seine Hand streichelte ihre Wangen und brachte sie zu einem unbeholfenen Lächeln. Sie war in der Tat eine Schurkin, und zwar nicht irgendeine Schurkin, sondern eine, die von der ganzen Welt gesucht wurde. ~~~~~~ "Ich, Valencia Brooklyn, lehne Tyler Anderson als meinen schicksalhaften Gefährten ab. Ich würde lieber den Tod akzeptieren als einen untreuen Partner." Dies waren genau die Worte, die ihr Leben veränderten. Da diese Werwolfwelt nicht akzeptieren konnte, dass sie ein Omega war und keinen Wolf hatte, beschloss sie, genau das Gleiche zu tun. Sie wurde ein Schurke, den alle fürchteten und suchten. Ein Schurke, der andere Schurken tötete, Menschen bestahl, einen Alpha zurückwies, den Rat täuschte und vor allem unter den Menschen lebte und dabei alle Gesetze und Normen brach. Was wird passieren, wenn jemand aus dem Rat ihren anonymen Fall dem stärksten Alpha der Welt übergibt? Einem Alpha, der noch stärker ist als der Sohn des Alphakönigs? Wie wird sie sich vor einem Alpha retten, der geschworen hat, alle Schurken zu töten, um sich für das zu rächen, was sie mit ihm gemacht haben? Wie wird Maverick Aurelius diesen mysteriösen Schurken fangen, der keine Fährte hat? Als sie sich das erste Mal treffen, hätte er sie töten sollen, aber wie hätte er sie erkennen sollen, wenn sie nur eine Katze war? Valencia hat sich nie in einen Wolf verwandelt, weil sie verflucht war, ein Gestaltwandler zu sein. Wie wird das Alphatier den Schurken in der Katze erkennen, die eine seltsame Angewohnheit entwickelt hat, in sein Zimmer zu kommen und mit seinen Sachen zu spielen? ~~~~~ P.S.

Bestia Alfa y su Luna Maldita

``` —Pareces solitaria y bueno... —dijo ella. —¿Bueno? —El Alfa le dio una sonrisa condescendiente. —Rota. Como alguien que ha luchado muchas batallas. Alguien que ha sido herido —dijo ella. —Es verdad. Y por eso, estoy listo para luchar aún más batallas si eso promete lo que quiero —dijo Alfa Maverick. —¿Y qué quieres? —preguntó ella con una dulce sonrisa. —Muerte. La muerte de todos los pícaros por lo que me hicieron —dijo Alfa Maverick, mirando a la chica que se tensó a su lado. —Tú no eres un pícaro, ¿verdad? —Alfa Maverick miró a sus encantadores ojos, su mano acariciando sus mejillas, haciéndola sonreír incómodamente. Ella era en efecto un pícaro, y no cualquier pícaro normal, sino uno buscado por todo el mundo. ~~~~~~ —Yo, Valencia Brooklyn, rechazo a Tyler Anderson como mi compañero predestinado. Prefiero aceptar la muerte antes que a un compañero desleal —Estas fueron las palabras exactas que cambiaron su vida. Dado que este mundo de los hombres lobo no podía aceptarla por ser una omega y no tener un lobo, decidió hacer exactamente lo mismo. Se convirtió en un pícaro que todos empezaron a temer y buscar. Una pícara que mataba a otros pícaros, robaba a la gente, rechazaba a un alfa, engañaba al consejo y lo más importante, vivía entre humanos rompiendo todas las leyes y normas. ¿Qué sucederá cuando alguien del consejo le dé su caso anónimo al alfa más fuerte del mundo? ¿Un alfa incluso más fuerte que el hijo del Rey Alfa? ¿Cómo se salvará de un alfa que ha jurado matar a todos los pícaros para vengar lo que hicieron con él? ¿Cómo atrapará Maverick Aurelius a esta misteriosa pícara que no tiene olor? Cuando se encontraron por primera vez, él debería haberla matado, pero ¿cómo iba a reconocerla si ella era apenas un gato? Valencia nunca se transformó en su lobo porque estaba maldita para ser una cambiaformas. ¿Cómo reconocerá el alfa al pícaro en el gato que ha desarrollado la extraña costumbre de entrar en su habitación y jugar con sus cosas? ~~~~~ P. D. Esta es mi segunda entrada para el WSA 2024. Por favor, apoyen con votos, regalos, boletos y comentarios. ```
