After living in hellish prison for 16 years, you're finally rescued. But what do you do when you soon realize that there is now a thread, a connection to the warden you've escaped from? BLURB: He could clearly see the way the water droplets ran down her back. The brown curls, almost black due to being wet, stuck to it, gave such an alluring contrast to her skin that seemed to glow in the moonlight. She turned, causing her ample breast to come into view. A single droplet hung precariously from a pebbled nipple. Was his eyesight always this sharp? It appeared like a pearl, begging to be licked away. He groaned as he could almost taste the cool freshness on his tongue before it was replaced with the heat of her flushed skin. Unzipping his jeans caused his member spring forth, drenched in the constant precum that flowed. Just the thought of sucking on her breast made him groan in frustrated desperation. He buried his face between the fleshly orbs. Biting and licking, he was pleased to see his marks on her skin. A fierce desire to possess came over him and even his wolf growled at the feeling. How is it that she smells even better that the soap she just used? Other Omegas used the same kind, yet their smell would cause his stomach to feel upset. Inhaling again, he pinning her against a tree. The same tree he was hiding behind before. Lifting her up, he devoured her lips while wrapping her long legs around his waist. Slightly bending his knees, he entered her in one deep thrust. She was hot and tight. So tight that if it wasn't for her juices, he wouldn't be able to move. Gripping himself tighter, his imagination became wild. Just thinking about her breathy moans or her screams of pleasure caused a shudder to pass through him as he came into the tissue he had thoughtfully grabbed. Why, why not just take what he so obviously wants? What's stopping him? If it were anyone else, he would have slacked his lust, had some fun, and moved on. The fact that this question ran through his mind without an answer was the reason for his pain.

'Fuck you fuck this fuck fuck fuck' She thought as she ran past the blazing street lights, her mind too occupied by thoughts to notice the dogs and car alarms blaring from a far. She finally slowed down, panting trying to catch air back into her lungs. She collapsed on a nearby bench looking up at the stars, slightly calming down by the sight of them. She closed her eyes enjoying the breeze going over her cooling her down. a Few minutes passed when her stomach churned, she felt uneasy, something was off. She quickly shot up to see a few men approaching her calling out to her. She swiftly got up and paced away from them whlie turning around to check if they were catching up. 'I need to get-' Suddenly she walked into someone, it was a man. She couldn't see much in the dark apart from a hat he was wearing. He was fairly tall and had a slightly intimidating air about him.

"You're already the mother of my four children," Arsalan chuckled, "and you're about to bring another one into this world. And you say I wasn't romantic?" Sahira stared at him with scornful eyes. "If you want to know how romantic you were," she said, her voice laced with venom, "then listen..." She recounted her experiences in such a poisonous tone that Arsalan's cheeks flushed to his ears. "And if you want to hear about all the things you did to me..." Arsalan's playful demeanor evaporated. He released her wrist, and Sahira wriggled away from him. Arsalan's gaze fell to the ground. "Was I that bad?" "You're far worse than bad, Arsalan. This act of amnesia you're putting on - you could fool the entire world with it. But not me. I've seen your masterful acting before. But I'm not going to fall for your deception anymore, Arsalan Ansari." Sahira was about to turn and walk away when Arsalan's voice reached her from behind. "Hira...can't you forgive me? I don't remember anything about my past. I don't remember anything about who I was, what I did... Please believe me. Forgive me." For a moment, Sahira's heart wavered. Her feet remained rooted to the spot. She turned to face him, her eyes filled with doubt. "Very well. What a splendid performance, Arsalan. You should win an Oscar," she said sarcastically, and walked away. Arsalan let out a deep sigh and stood there, alone. -------- Arsalan Ansari, the ruthless mafia kingpin, operates on a cold, calculated smile. But a glimpse of vulnerability cracks his icy facade. Has amnesia truly buried his past - a past rife with vengeance and betrayal - or is this a masterfully crafted ploy to outmaneuver his enemies? As the line between truth and manipulation blurs, one thing remains certain: underestimating Arsalan Ansari could be your deadliest mistake.

"In dreams we met so I kept dreaming. Even the solstice gone, it is better to risk the stars and to seek you forever than to lose my dreams about you in a moment." /Teaser Quote/ In the beginning, the word is a chaos. The skies moore at nothingness and the planets crush against each other. Asteroids plunged like enemies at night and so is their downfall to Heath. The breathing world. A sphere of galvanizing light and freshness. At last, no chaos. Heath is gods' first love and everything is created about that world. Even so, realms are created. One of which is Ageas—a dreaming dimension where the night ruled civilizations and the moon danced longer than the sun. The creation of hunters (men) and the Winged-ones occured. Even bearing an honorable name as the second sons of Heath, the distinction between the people grows thicker. The Winged-ones proved their strength and wisdom and they are now heralded as the superior of hunters or mortals known in the land. Given that the hunters lose a place in the upper universe, these mortals are more knowledgeable in crops and herbary and poisoned thousands of Winged-ones in the Great Division where Gods finally finished the creation of Heath. The rulers of Aegeas remain with the blood of Winged-ones or also known as the dream configurors and so hatred grew and chaos reign supreme at Heath where power is diminished to one group at a time. When the Winged-ones became more corruptive for wealth and power rushed into their head, unknowingly, the shed blood bequeath a weapon against their greed.

The only thing I knew was the irresistible feeling of him on me, so overwhelming that my knees started growing weak. I would've fallen if he wasn't pinning me hard against the tree.

With a rip of fabric, he tore them away.

Her fiance's family tricked Jiang Piaopiao into ending up in the bed of his disabled uncle. She knew this man was once a proud and talented individual. He became paralyzed due to an accident and was now wheelchair-bound for life. This drastic change had made him incredibly gloomy. Jiang Piaopiao had no choice but to marry him, and she braced herself for a difficult and challenging life ahead. Little did she know that he would shower her with gifts every day. He would offer houses one day and precious gemstones the next, and he pampered her to the extreme. Looking at the large gemstone in her hand, Jiang Piaopiao exclaimed, "I've never had a piece of candy this big before!" But then she watched her husband take a break to catch his breath after every few steps, sometimes even fainting.

Please don't harm our unborn child!"

"I am certain that scrutinizing you...naked, won't reveal much about your ability to produce an heir," she retorted quickly. He smirked, stepping closer. Freya resisted the urge to retreat; his proximity overwhelming, his large frame practically eclipsing her view of the room. She forced herself to meet his gaze, determined not to let her eyes wander to his bare chest. He towered over her, his presence domineering. Droplets from his damp hair occasionally fell onto her face. She blinked, surprised by the sudden coolness on her skin. Roarke lifted a large hand, gently wiping away a droplet of water from her cheek with a touch that was unexpectedly gentle. "Then...do you want to test my ability in a different way?" he asked, his tone suggestive. ***** Freya Lorne, a gifted healer, finds herself swept into the heart of a conflict when she is summoned to the distant and divided realm of Eldranor.
