Rachel’s stomach was in knots as she walked into her law firm on Monday morning. She hadn’t seen or heard from Gabriel during the weekend (not that she was expecting to), but the incident that had happened in his office felt so surreal. A part of her had wanted it to be just a dream, but at the same time, she felt odd satisfaction, as if her disloyalty evened the score between her and Casey. Gabriel had verified her suspi...

The high-rise building stood tall and luminescent in the darkness. Constructed in the heart of New York City, it was surrounded by other concrete towers that unrivaled the size of the law firm that was famously known as Alistair & King. It was as if the architecture of the building itself symbolized the large staff of powerful lawyers that diligently worked demanding schedules, hidden away in their glass boxed offices, da...

That winters day was cold and white.A nip of cold in morning’s light.The chimney’s smoke was twisting high,Reaching up to the grey blue sky.It took me back to our faded youth,A less complex time of trust and truth.The days were long and filled with joy,Our love was fresh, not brash and coy.The still air was broken by icy chill,Snowflakes falling on the window sill.The journey was long, my trek complete,It was now time to...

The sun had risen around 7:30 that morning as I lay in bed, watching Mr. Universe sleep. Yes, I was biased, but I really did believe he was the sexiest man alive… so perfectly put together. There must have been divine intervention in his making. And if it were really true, was a life of unspeakable pain and impounded innocence the price to pay for such unworldly attractiveness? Who was to blame for the ghosts of his past...

Breathing… echoing, quick, shallow breaths… but they weren’t my own. A desperate whimper, a feral moan, the sound of flesh slapping against flesh. I had one foot bordering on the darkest depths of dreaming, and the other standing right on concrete reality. The only problem was, I wasn’t certain what was real and what was fantasy anymore. “Take my cock, you bitch!” “Oooooh, fuck!” His voice. That deep, hoarse tone always m...

 July 25, 2014 8:09PM I fucking hate Tristan Northam. Hate his guts, hate his face, hate that fucking hot body, hate that I can’t really hate him and fucking mean it. Yeah, quite the dilemma I’m in. I had sex for the first time, and not only was it with the last person I thought I would ever hook up with, but it totally bent my ruler. Yep, no longer a straight edge. Am I trying to paint a metaphorical picture of my sexual...

Tristan Northam was the most intimidating man—no, wolf, in Howls Grove. Of course, not everyone knew that he was in fact, a werewolf, and not just any werewolf… Alpha of the wolves. At twenty-five years old, he had lost all his beloved family members when they were abducted from their home one night by wolf hunters. They were transported and taken to an underground laboratory where a series of horrific experiments were co...

CHAPTER 3  ORIGINS  Before there were any supernatural beings on earth, there existed only the Creator and his legion of angels. Lucifer was above all other angels in heaven. His appearance was beautiful and striking. He embodied perfection and radiated light and glory. He was the chief commander and worked in the throne room of God. One day, God had a private meeting with his son, and Lucifer was not included. Overcome w...

~oOo~ V A L E N T I N A  Theo was growing more hostile by the second. I was paralyzed with fear because I had never seen his face transform this way. “Back away from me!” “I just…” “I said, stay back!” he furiously raged, his eyes glowing with danger. I watched the dark spider veins fade in and out around his cheekbones. It looked like he was struggling to fight against his supernatural nature. “Why are you being so aggre...

Have you ever had a moment in life where you look at a complete stranger, and your entire environment just evaporates? You can’t help but stare at the attractive individual that has unknowingly captivated you. It’s like you’re totally blind to everyone and everything else, because in that frozen moment in time, if only for a minute, they become the center of your universe. They become the shining sun in your pitch dark ga...

Where do I even start? Was it because so much had happened that I couldn’t even keep track of the order of events anymore? Or was it because so little had occurred, that the lack of details were depressing beyond belief, to the point where blocking it out was the only survivable option? I didn’t know. All I knew was that nearly an entire year and half had gone by, and Ian and I were no longer together. What happened? I ha...

~Prologue~  For the past 700 years, I have spent my life living in the shadows, bound by the darkness, never to see the light of day. I have suffered and retained century’s worth of horrifying memories that still haunt me to this very moment. This monster I have become is my curse. It is my identity. I live it, breathe it, day in and day out. I am a lonely shattered soul, and I shall always remain this way, until I forfei...

LOGAN  “See, sometimes compliance isn’t so bad now, is it?” I flashed a devilish smile. “You mean seducing me into submission?” “I haven’t seduced you. Must be my body spray, the Axe effect.” “Hmm, right,’” she muttered sarcastically as she hoisted her weight up on the island, sitting on the dark marble countertop. Ava crossed one toned thigh over the other and rested her palms behind her. “Let’s see, I’ve got some sushi,...

LOGAN  Six days. I hadn’t seen in her six days. Ava hadn’t come to any of my lectures that week. The last time I saw her was when I took her back to my place last Friday. But today was a Thursday, and I had just finished up my afternoon lecture. Needless to say, I wasn’t in a good mood. In fact, I hadn’t been in a good mood all week, and I partly knew why. I sent Ava an email last night, just to see if she was okay. I mad...
