O Amor de um Lican

``` COMPLETO! Trecho: Há um ano, Raine foi liberada da instituição mental e teve que viver no orfanato. Não era o melhor lugar. Pelo menos não para alguém como ela. Até que uma noite fiel ela o conheceu. *** Ele parou o carro. A apreensão na coberta aumentou enquanto Raine se perguntava se tinha feito algo errado. Ela podia sentir quando Torak estendeu a mão em direção a ela. Ele vai me bater? Raine estremeceu com esse pensamento. Torak puxou o capuz de sua cabeça e gentilmente ajeitou seu cabelo atrás da orelha. "Não." Ele disse firmemente, "Eu quero ver você, não se esconda…" ************** “O espírito do anjo da guarda dará nova vida à criança humana. Três anjos guardiões nascerão novamente no mundo terrestre e vocês três serão seus protetores.” “Protetores!!?” Jedrek estourou. No fim, ele parou de caminhar e virou-se de costas para olhar a deusa da lua a uma grande distância, seus olhos brilhando vermelhos de raiva. Seu lobo estava irado. “Por que você acha que vamos ajudar?” Kace perguntou enquanto estreitava seus olhos de obsidiana negra, seu lobo tinha tomado controle dele. Ele era o mais jovem entre os três e o menos temperamental entre eles. Os três foram amaldiçoados por Selene por suas ações ferozes para obter poder e autoridade supremos. A deusa da lua não os abençoou com uma parceira como punição de seus caminhos atrozes e os forçou a se envolverem nesta guerra mortal com os demônios. “Você vai nos transformar em escravos dessas criaturas doentias!?” Torak perguntou incrédulo. “Não tem medo que possamos quebrá-los ao meio?” O anjo da guarda era tão frágil e eles, como licantropos, não apreciavam as fraquezas. “Não, vocês não vão.” Selene disse pacientemente. “Vocês não serão escravos deles nem os machucarão, vocês irão valorizá-los de todas as formas possíveis.” Jedrek riu ameaçadoramente ao ouvir isso, eles não se importavam com a ressurreição da besta, uma vez que cruzassem seu território, com ou sem o anjo da guarda, ele rasgaria seus corpos ao meio. “Eu serei a última pessoa que eles verão, assim que eu os encontrar.” Ele estava se referindo tanto ao anjo da guarda quanto ao demônio. Mas, a próxima fala de Selene veio carregada de divertimento quando ela falou. “Vocês não machucarão suas parceiras.” ============================ Sessão 1 (capítulo 1 - 394) : Torak Donovan - Raine (concluído).

The Next General

"Have you heard of him?" A small boy tugged at a woman's skirt, his tiny finger pointing at the large portrait of a man clad in a minister’s robe. "Shhh! Don’t say its name!" The woman hushed him, glancing around anxiously. She knew the boy was only curious about the drawing, yet the inscription beside it spoke of someone else entirely. Still, the credit had been given to the man in the portrait. "Why?" "We just... don’t say it." "Are you talking about The Next General?" A man dressed as a scholar interjected, inserting himself into the conversation. "Everyone is talking about it. After a hundred years, it has returned. I can't decide whether that fills me with hope or dread." His words were meant to impress, to showcase his knowledge, but the woman only tightened her grip on the boy, scooped him up, and hurried away like a hunted animal sensing danger. The scholar let out a single sharp laugh. "A chaotic rhythm… and marvellously extraordinary times are upon us," he murmured, before turning and walking away. --- Disclaimer This is a work of fiction.

Jock Next Bed (BL)

College was like a wake-up call for most people. Especially the likes of Christopher Owen, who spent the rest of his high school years messing around and pining for the boy he never had. Having had a frustrating high school year, he decided to dedicate himself to his studies in college.   He flew many miles away from home, changed his looks, and hid his real identity from everyone.  His plans were simple: study hard, pass well, no dating. But then he realized two things: life was anything but easy without the backing of his last name. And... he wasn't sure how long he could last before he jumped his roommate, who was obviously not gay. But lust wasn't love, right? Maybe he could indulge a little? Just a little, I promise. ***** EXCERPT: "THAT ARROGANT, GOOD FOR NOTHING, DEMONIC IDIOT! I HATE HIM SO MUCH!" "O-kay... what is going on?" A friend asked him, watching as he paced around the room he just entered. "After battling for a long time. A LONG TIME!" he breathed heavily before continuing, "I... I confessed to him today." The other sat up, eyes wide. "For real?" "And then... with that stupid lollipop in his mouth, he just looked at me and said Okay. OKAY!" Gasps. "I didn't even know people said "okay" to love confessions, but he said "okay" to me!" -- Meanwhile, while he was there panicking, the one who had been confessed to remained seated where he was in the room. He had not moved an inch from that position since he got confessed to. But if one looked closely, they would notice how red his face was, up to the tips of his ears. He suddenly chuckled to himself. "That idiot," he muttered, looking at the door the other had taken.
