Life is given for free but happiness comes with a cost that many can't afford to pay. *********** Even with the dark grey clouds that hovered over the vast sky and the dim light provided by the fire torch that was on the verge of being blown off by the wind, he could still see the glimmer in her eyes. The very same glimmer that appeared in those brown eyes everytime she was happy and for some reason, tonight he was unable to resist hir urges to steal a part of her. She was still standing by the door waiting for him to leave but he had not taken more than three steps before he halted and turned. His features were darker in contrast to the white shirt that he wore and the look on his face was a predatory one. Instead of getting scared, she watched him take the three stairs that led to her room's door and he was a few inches away from her, he finally spoke up. "If there is one thing that I hate, it's having regrets and I know that I will regret if I do not do this." A part of her was confused by his words and another part felt like she knew what he meant by those words. Before she even had a chance to contemplate on what he had just said, he leaned closer, curled his index finger on her pointed chin and tilted her in an angle such that she could feel his cold breath on her face that caused a shiver to run down her spine. Like she had been hypnotized, all she could do was to stare in those obsidian eyes that had held her captive. "This is a mistake that I want to commit again and again." His breath fanned on her face and goosebumps formed on her skin. Not because of the wind, but because of the effect he had on her. If it was some time before, she would have probably pushed him away or maybe escaped but as time had passed by, her feelings towards him had changed...

"Shhhh," he cut me off, his palms spreading on the revealed skin of my abdomen. His index fingers made their way into the waistband of my sweatpants as he pressed his front closer to my behind. "Don't shush m-" I tried to argue. "I said so," he stated, his tone going deeper as his hand went lower, this time to the waistband of my panties. I couldn't control my breathing anymore, more so as his teeth lightly grazed my neck. "So you better obey." ^^^^^^^ They say "A night in Vegas can change your life."

Raphael’s heart skipped a beat, while Celest, unable to contain his fear, trembled on the spot, ready to give in to panic. Linfer, however, watched them all with absolute detachment. To him, their movements seemed slow, very slow. Even Luciel, moving at near-light speed, appeared frozen in time. With a simple beat of his wings, Linfer floated above the surface of the blood-red sea, indifferent to the slowness of those around him. His dark claws gleamed faintly as he brought his index finger to his forehead, where an Omega symbol was engraved into his flesh. The symbol shimmered, radiating a terrifying aura, as a drop of black blood slowly emerged, suspended in the air. The silence became absolute. In a whisper barely audible, but resonating throughout the ninth heaven, "[Ashkharsh: All Red]" The drop of black blood finally fell. The moment it touched the surface of the blood sea... A psychopath, a hedonist, a sanguinophile, Linfer, nicknamed the Blood Devil, had brought Armageddon to humanity. His power was so great it made the mightiest tremble. But his impulsiveness attracted the attention of the Tao Tree… Unsealed after thousands of years… "Young Master Bai! The Devourer has left traces in a kingdom of the lower plane!" "Gather the inner disciples! As servants of the Tao, we must purge this evil, even if it means sacrificing ourselves!" "The younger generation is truly lucky to have you!" "That’s true~" A faint smile spread across his face.

Everyone in the town gather at the town hall to hear the names of the girls choosen by the elders. Stephanie, Joyce , Maureen, Sylvia.... the list goes on until Dove's name is called out last. She turns to look at her mother seeing that she's crying as she turns away from her daughter. The night before, she had cried bitterly. She knew her daughter would be choosen not only because she was beautiful but the amount of energy she carried was too much that it could burn the whole world. Her daughter was no ordinary being and she feared that her dark side would take over and show the true monster hiding deep inside. she wished she would have told her sooner but now it was already too late. They are all made to stand at the podium as the rest of the people together with the elders say a prayer. Lord, please guide and protect the young virgins for they don't know what they are up against. We are so sorry for doing this for we don't have a choice but we pray you may forgive us and to one day save us from this hell we are on. Amen. The transport has arrived and they are made to sit in the bus not even given a chance to say goodbye to their loved ones. The windows are sealed that you can't even see what's happening outside. The journey is long, bumpy and tiresome but finally they reach outside a dark, creepy looking facility and are made to stand in a line. One by one they are 'examined' that is by getting their blood tested by scary looking people with red eyes. It has reached Dove's turn and the woman examining her gives her a peculiar look before pricking her index finger and taking her finger into her mouth. Suddenly, she moves away making everyone to turn to their side. Her face showing fear and confusion. "What are you?" she asks now angry for some reason. Before Brooke could answer, they get interrupted by a very tall and handsome man wearing soldier attire. "She's coming with me." he says as he grabs Brooke's hand leaving with her outside. "Who are you and where are you taking me?" Dove asks but gets no answer as she's made to enter a car and is droven off to an unknown place.

God and has forsaken the world, and now it is starting to rot. The demons ravage the lands of Earth, growing ever stronger, threatening all existents of creation. As if matters weren't bad enough, God is dying and his followers have forsaken his teachings. To save God and all of creation, the archangel, Angis, sends the angels Aaron and Eris down to Earth to regain the trust of their followers and raise an army to stop the demon army's onslaught. But in order to descend to Earth they must give up their powers and become "human". After giving up their powers and descending to Earth, the fallen angels must learn how to regain their powers, all the while the demons slaughter and pillage all living creatures and their lands. As Aaron and Eris walk this horrific and deadly path, they learn that the world is not all that holy as God said it to be, in fact it's much darker than they imagined. None the less, they must raise an army and defeat the demon lord to protect what they hold most dear or else the world will be lost. Or so they think.

/Forbidden to post. This book is not contracted by any platform./ "Wow, what happened?" The ball stopped. Who is he?" One of the comments said. The atmosphere turned off bustling. "It worked.We should be able to score." A loud shout from the Teiko team captain. Setters then provide a quick pass to their Ace.Two opposing middle blockers try to block. But it's a shame they were too late on the jump.The ball finally managed to fall under the opponent's area. "This is Shuichi Takao.Libero from Teiko school boys volleyball team." His commentary friend then replied. "It's great to be able to stop Heiji's deadly serve.The dance of the Teitan school boys' volleyball team." The commentators at the volleyball match praised Takao. The match is over. Score 2-1. The man's volleyball team from Teiko school successfully defended the first place for the fifteenth time. One week after the winter tournament. Players earn the title with their positions. Shuichi Takao has the best Libero in Japan at the junior high level. The seasons have changed. Shuichi Takao was standing in front of the school building. After graduating from middle school, Teiko continued his education. "This is the place." Takao then walked in Howaitoiguru High School. The school will be a place to study in high school.After leaving the classroom, Takao stepped into the volleyball gym.When he got there, how surprised Takao was to see the man's volleyball gymnasium which was dirty and neglected. But different from one on the side. The women's volleyball team room looks clean even the floorboards are shiny. "In fact, this school's men's volleyball team won first place and participated in national championships." The teacher looked at Takao.He had known and heard about Takao when he was in the middle school.His hunch said that the men's volleyball team would experience glory again. "Please don't take my money." The boy begged his money back.But they did not return but instead of laughed.Takao then I walked over to them. "Who are you?"Don't be meddle in my business." "Hey wait. Aren't you the one sitting behind me?" One of them said that. Takao then I remembered the first time he sat on his bench. He saw that there were several scary-looking people sitting in front, behind, right and left. "You?" Takao pointed at the youth with his index finger. "Finally, you remembered.Don't interfere in our business if you don't want your body to be hurt." The young man threatened me. A smile graced Takao. He then took out his cell phone which contained a video of the actions of a group of his classmates.Like I've found good news. I like volleyball too. He will do everything as long as he can play volleyball again. Members of the men's volleyball team consisting of bad boys is the most feared by all students.Would this be a challenge?

~•No Escape•~ "Are you running away from me, my sweet girl" spoke a voice in the hallway that made her stop in her tracks. The hallway had turned dark with only the wall lamps that burned brightly casting the shadow of the man on the floor as he slowly emerged from the other end. "What are you doing here, your majesty," She said and bowed immediately as she saw him approach her with slow but steady steps. "You haven't answered me, sweet" The man said with a sweet smile that made her wary and he heard the way her heart skipped a beat. He stood before her and used his index finger to raise her chin. He tilted his head as he gazed into her green eyes that looked back at him with fear. He took a step forward closing the distance between them and his eyes narrowed when she took a step back, but that didn't stop him from cornering her. "Did you think you can escape from me?" He continued to question and she didn't miss the mockery behind his words. "I…I" she felt her words tied to her tongue because of the man's daunting aura. She felt him trace her forehead with his finger down to her jaw. He continued moving his hand down to her neck and to the top of her swell and her thudding heart hitched when his hand continued to stay there. "Did you think you can escape from me?" He bent towards her as he spoke. His breath fell on her neck which sent a jolt that traveled down her body. "I told you, you're tied to me and me to you" _______________________ Perdita Kartar was a winsome yet strange young lady. She had an appealing beauty with her green eyes that invoked and impelled anyone who gazed into them. She had fooled her villagers so she could live and protect herself and her remaining family from the night creatures and also humans. But what was bizarre of all, was that Perdita had a secret she shared with no one. She had lived in the village since she was little, and over the years, she had been discreet with each move she made. Unfortunately, things didn't go as she planned. Despite her cautious decorum and fight to stay out of sight, a pair of glacial red eyes falls on her, which followed and refused to leave her out of sight.

The dark night. The pale deathliness of the full unblinking moon. A dark forest filled with unpleasant trees. "Huff.... Huff... Huff... Huff," A figure stomped quickly through the woods running, panting and interrupting the silence of the dark as she did so. The figure ran for a long time until it came to a stop at the edge of the clearing. "Ebbey!" The thickness of the trees muffled the echoes. "Ebbey! You there!?" She called out again. Where was he? They'd only gone out here for a walk and had both bolted when they thought they heard a growl and now..... He was missing. 'Gosh I hope he's alright,' She looked down at herself. Right down from her neck, dripping her clothes and soaking into her shoes, was blood. No, it wasn't her blood. It most likely was animal blood, but that was most likely or even maybe, I'm not sure how she got that much blood on her. I think she knew but she wouldn't allow herself to believe it. She kept calling out. "Ebbey!" She stopped at the sound of shuffling in the bushes nearby. She walked slowly towards it, to an angle where she could see what was going on there without having to part it open. She could see something, a few rodents hunched over a dead animal. The animal seemed to have been half eaten by a larger animal and all that remained were the unrecognizable remnants of it remains. She looked a bit closely at the dead animal on the ground and noticed that a large trail of blood led away from it, across the clearing and beyond the forest. The wild animal could be anywhere. She bent beside the carcass, shifting away from the eating rodents and picked up a bloodied cloth. No! No way! She was probably just over thinking things. But she never over thought things. She fell on her knees and searched for more evidence through the carcass and it's close surroundings. There she found what she'd hoped she'd not find. Pieces of clothing all torn out from one whole and stained with blood and one more thing. Elliam picked it up slowly and enclosed the cold bloody human index that could only belong to Ebbey, slowly standing after doing so. She suddenly felt sick in her stomach as she took in all the signs. She looked once more at the blood staining all of her clothes, the blood on her hands, on her neck, on the floor, trailing into the path she had just come out from. A tight knot was forming in her stomach. Why had she been running from that part of the forest? Where they'd run..... They'd run this way, and...... And what had happened after that? She'd originally thought she'd blacked out but suddenly she saw flashes of what had trangressed in the clearing. Her knees buckled and as she fell she suddenly opened her eyes and practically jumped from her bed sweating buckets despite the sudden cold temperature in the room. The population rose and it became a well known country. In its heart, young Elliam, a girl with a dark past, after being given another opportunity in life struggles to forget her past and focus on her new life, a new country, her new parents, her new school, her new friends, but is the past and the curse inside her just as ready to forget about her? How could Elliam live with her human friends and family with the hunger for their flesh haunting her? Simultaneously in her city, multiple persons have started to go missing. Pursued by her mad dreams and her Windigo Psychosis, Elliam would deal with her problems alone and decides to research more on her predicament. In doing so, she found something shocking. She wasn't the only person cursed in her city, there were 3 others and 2 were right in her school! There was something sus about this, people going missing without a trace and three no four wendigo hybrids in a city at once. She tries finding their whereabouts but only succeeds in finding one, whose whereabouts was surprisingly very obvious... Warning: Explicit Description of Death! Warning: Body Horror!

Then that man grabbed her waist and squeezed it until she didn't dare to move besides cursing at that man through her eyes. That man brought his lips closer to Aleyah’s ear, almost kissing her neck. “You're the first one who's messing with me. Now it's my turn.” He rub the ends of the Aleyah’s wavy hair with his index finger, “You’ve always surprised me and I admire your courage. Do not ever think about running away. No one can escape from me once they caught my attention. You’re mine now.” He declared its ownership or maybe an ultimate war to Aleyah who set embers in his boring life after a very long time. And no one was happier than the ghosts. If Aleyah gets closer to that man, then it could only be one thing. It will be easier to destroy him, all of this went smoothly according to those ghost's plan.

I will help you take your revenge,” Vladimir said with a faint smile. Celine cleared her throat and asked. “Why?” “Because I want to, not that I pity you. I just need a woman by my side” Vladimir replied. “And what would you gain by helping me?” Celine asked with a heart beating loudly in her chest. She just wanted to ask these questions but the truth is, she is ready to go with him. “A lot,” Vladimir replied, maintaining his composure. “And what are those?” “I can't tell you that but you are safe, Celine,” Vladimir replied, with his index finger pressed to the crook of his nose. “Then, what do you want in return?” ”Nothing for now but I will want something in return in the future and I know you will do it” Celine sees no harm in this and she believes she is not going to regret it. “I will take your offer but don't regret it if I don't later accept what you want,” Celine said aloud for Vladimir to hear, not having any ounce of regret in her. **** Celine got rejected by her fated mate on her wedding day because of the curse she carried.

I could hear the din from the bar as I exited my SUV and I was still almost a block away. What a shame! I knew from long experience that would change as soon as my foot crossed the threshold. I tend to have that effect on people. I’m six feet six inches tall and I weigh an even 250 pounds—all of it broad shouldered muscle. My Body Mass Index at my last physical was less than four percent. My light brown hair is styled exactly the way it’s been for the past fifteen years—ever since I first joined the Navy. Sure enough, no sooner had I taken my first step into the bar than the noise died. When I turned left and stepped up to the bar the people there couldn’t back away fast enough. I took a stool in the middle of the empty space and sat down, waiting for the bartender to approach. “I’m not looking for any trouble.” “Good…neither am I. Give me a ginger ale.” He reached under the bar for a glass and some ice. Twenty seconds later he slid the glass in my direction. I pulled a fiver from my pocket and dropped it on the bar. He ignored it and walked away to draw a few beers and pour some wine. It looked to me like this was a pretty cheap crowd. Checking up and down the bar all I could see were longnecks and drafts. I reached into the lower left pocket of my cargo pants. Like almost everything else I was wearing they were a true deep navy blue. My heavy shoes were black as was my wide belt. My belt said as much about me as the bold white lettering across my chest. Just below the American flag over my heart were the letters that were my life—U. S. MARSHAL. On my right hip was my nickel plated .44 Magnum Colt Python, just behind two speed loaders in addition to the twenty-four rounds on the belt. On my left hip was my ASP Talon baton—every bit as deadly a weapon in my hands as the revolver. A pouch at the back of my right hip held my stainless steel handcuffs and its partner on the opposite side held my radio—my link to my backup team. I placed the photo flat on the bar as the bartender returned to me. “I’ll have another,” I said in a loud voice, continuing so I wouldn’t be overheard. “Don’t pick it up and don’t make a production of looking at it. I’ve been told that he comes here a lot. Is he here tonight? If he is and he escapes because you’ve given me away I’ll see to it that you’re arrested for obstruction of justice.” He gulped a few times but did as he was told, nodding slightly in response. I continued almost at a whisper. “If my nose is pointing to twelve o’clock, my right ear to three, the back of my head to six, and my left ear to nine, tell me where he is. Again, don’t point or do anything obvious and we’ll be fine.” He pretended to wipe the bar as he whispered, “About 4:30 with his back to you.” I picked up the reflection in the mirror then asked, “Red shirt with black and white stripes, looking away from me?” He nodded again. Now, in my normal tone of voice I asked, “Where’s the men’s room?”

"I might look drunk, Your Highness," she gulped. "But I'm not. This is my first and last warning to you. If you don't stay away from me, I will surely destroy you and your people." "Are you sure?" His gray eye interlocked into hers. Hazel rolled her eyes and held the hem of her dress so that she wouldn't trip. She could barely see now, especially with the aid of that terrible headache raking her skull. However, just a slight error and she wobbled all over him. His grip was held tightly to her waist but she pushed him away from her as she said, "Husband, you mistake lust for love. This is a warning, you will regret this." "Wife, there is a lot you need to learn from me. Like knowing how to tell a lie. Nevertheless, I shall give you another two weeks to take an act of revenge on me, if you don't succeed, I won't hesitate to make you mine even against your wish. If you do succeed, I am happy to die in your hands." He continued, whispering along her earlobe since he knew she would be unaware of what they had discussed the next morning, "It is like killing two birds with a stone, I will be able to fulfill my promise about keeping you away from evils. You would be able to protect yourself against me." As he said those words, he clenched his jaw. "It's funny how I am the evil you need to hide from, the one who has and will hurt you the most." *** HAZEL COLESHILL, a 22-year-old vampiress who had a very terrifying past with a werewolf, pledged to protect her clan by sacrificing herself to the werewolves as part of a truce. However, already having an idea of who she was going to battle with, an alpha prince, who is rumoured to be a psychopathic monster, she is pledged on destroying him completely before he does. In short, she would make him obsessed with her and then finally destroy everything that he holds dear.

"Possessing your shadow in the walls is really helpful. Shadows are meant to be the most vigorous reflections. They attack your enemy if you can control them and then hide back in the walls. They break walls and are extremely powerful." Hazel sighed softly before she said, "Let's go back to the last one. Possessing beings just by staring at them in the eyes." "Have you heard about the rule majorly known among humans?" "What rule?" "The rule about," she raised her two index fingers up and then curled them, signaling a quote. "The rule about not looking into a vampire's eyes?" Hazel shook her head. "The rule about vampires possessing humans when the humans stare at them is as old as the mountains, however, it can also be said to be a superstition but it is not a superstition for some special ones among us."

Amaira was the girl who cried, vampire! Of course, no one believed her because vampires don't exist, but how else would you explain what she saw that night? Her sexy and handsome neighbor, Elias Stone devouring a woman's exposed neck! "You're crazy!" they said. "Stop reading so many weird books!" they said. But Amaira knew what she saw and she was going to prove it! After many failed attempts, she finally got into his house disguised as a babysitter for his baby brother, Kenneth. 'Don't put your hand near the baby's mouth was the only rule given to her by Mr. and Mrs. Stone, but what choice did she have when the baby started choking on God knows what? Amaira stuck her finger in baby Kenneth's mouth and one bite from him changed her life forever because it was how she became a ghoul and ended up being bound to the devil. ----- Excerpt They told her to stay away, he was unstable under the curse of the red moon, but being bound to him, Amaira could feel how much he needed her and could hear his voice in her head begging her to come to him. Without seeing her, Elias could tell she was there when a surge of sexual desire infiltrated his body. "You shouldn't be here?" he started, keeping his gaze solely on the ground. "I could hurt you." Despite his warning, Amaira didn't leave but instead went closer to him. "Look at me, Elias." When he rose his head to look at her, she met his red eyes with her blue ones, "You won't hurt me." With those words, Amaira slipped off her coat before pulling her turtleneck blouse over her head and unhooking her bra. Her jeans went after, shortly followed by her lace panties. She was fully exposed in front of the horny devil chained to the wall. His hunger for her increased tenfold, but while the rest of his body betrayed him, words of concern still managed to leave his lips, "You'll freeze to death." Amaira had no idea what took over her, but all she knew was that she needed to please him. She smiled innocently before tracing the bulge in his pants with her index finger, "Then how about you warm me up?" {This story contains r-18+ explicit content, BDSM, horror, and gore} [Please check the author's review before proceeding to the story :)] Check out my other novels: Never A Bride [Ongoing] Blood and Butterflies [Ongoing] Let's connect: Instagram: dolly_.roma Discord: DollyRoma#7887 ** The beautiful cover art belongs to me and was commissioned by elkshan (Find her on Instagram)

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

Miryu took a small bottle from under his cloak, Joon's blood that he had prepared earlier. Miryu also bit her index finger. He mixed his blood with Joon's blood earlier. He had read this before in one of the books in the library of the Dewar Clan's Castle, how to use the 'magic crystal ball'. A few drops of Joon's Pure Blood and Miryu's Satan's Blood, fell right on top of the purple glowing crystal ball. The crystal ball floated in the air.

Quiet and dark. The room was silent and empty again. *** "Lizen, watch out!" I shouted when I saw Ryujin behind Lizen. Lizen turned around. Ryujin gripped Lizen's arms. His sharp eyes shone directly into Lizen's silver eyes. I don't know what Ryujin is doing right now. What is certain is that after ten minutes they stared at each other, suddenly Lizen's body relaxed. Lizen falls to the floor. Did he just get hypnotized? Ryujin grabbed Lizen's forehead. Lizen's body gave off a silvery white mist. The fog grew more and more slowly and slowly left Lizen's body. It's been a few minutes, the fog has thinned and is now gone. Surprisingly, Lizen's silver hair turned black as the mist from his body disappeared. Now Lizen's black hair covers his face. I could no longer see Lizen's handsome face. Is he dead? "Stupid Lizen! I have taken your power. After this, you will become a lowly creature called a human. Hahaha, I have been waiting for this for a long time, Lizen. But take it easy, my brother! Someday I will restore your strength for one purpose only, to kill your own child. Buwahahah ...." Ryujin laughed like crazy. "Are you making fun of me, Human?" I flinched when Ryujin shouted like that. Can he read my mind? With a terrible grin, he came up to me. I continued to take a few steps back. "Don't kill me, Uncle!" I said, stammering. Swoosshh! Ryujin swung his sword in the air and aimed it right at my neck. ____________ Visuals and spoilers can be seen at IG: @mamathor_joon FB: Zanaka Sofia Maurya

I clench my jaw and look at her with contempt from head to toe: she wears a lock of her long red hair behind her ear, while looking shyly around, almost frightened by passers-by.
