Since birth, Alora Goodrich's mother warned her that the heart's desires were dangerous. Most love was a distraction, a trick of the mind, or a lie. To honor her mother's passing, she swore to never give in to her desires, that was, until she met the beautifully stubborn Sorren Belrose. Sorren was attractive, astute, and an amazing chef who cooked at his family's restaurant. Since the beginning, he was taught to adhere to his dark impulses and pleasure himself with whichever babe or brawn he could find. Unlike the rest of his lustful family, Sorren hoped to discover something more profound than the desires of the flesh. But upon meeting Alora, he is tempted to do things he swore never to do. How will two people from two different worlds react when their tangled paths collide? Will they throw away everything for a chance at real love? Or will their nightmare's desires kill them both? --- Started: 2/1/2025 Ended: (tbd) ONC 2025 Prompt: #2.

There are worse things than death. ___ "What is wrong with you?" I seethed. She had my back against the wall, pinning me down so I couldn't move. She was much stronger than me, even when I used my strength to get out of her embrace. I held her gaze and I knew that she was gone. There wasn't an ounce of goodness left in her body. She laughed at my question. Of course, I knew what was wrong with her. But I have to find a way to get her back. "What is wrong with me? Ha, nothing sweetheart." she told me with a smile on her face. "I'm just having a little fun." "Yeah, and fun for you is killing innocents," I growled. "Oh, I hate to say this to you but they aren't all innocent." I finally broke free of her and I dropped her to the floor. I held her down with both arms while I was on top of her. All she did was give me a smile. An eerie smile that made a shiver run down my spine. "I should kill you for what you've done," I whispered. "I should make you pay." "Oh, but Sebastian, you won't," she said. "You know why? Because at the end of the day I'm still me, and you will never hurt me, will you?" I hated that she was right. I couldn't kill her. My mind told me that it would be the best to do it but my heart told me otherwise. I mentally cursed at myself for letting this happen to her. "Elora, I know you're still in there." I said. She was still on the ground, but she was not resisting which seemed odd. "She died a long time ago," she said finally. "Alongside her love for you." ___ Book Two in the "From Death to Life" Trilogy #13 in Bloodlust

Her death was just the beginning. ___ "What are you doing to us!" I cried. I felt the painful sensation deep in my skin as if I was burning from inside out. Like the sun became my greatest enemy and trying to burn me alive. I fell to my knees and I looked over at him with fear in my eyes. He told me to never show how terrified I was, but I couldn't help it. His eyes the color of night assured me that's it was going to be okay. But it wasn't. "Taking away your ability to walk in the sunlight. You are going to be like the rest of those bloodsuckers." she exclaimed. The pain was getting even stronger by the minute and I screamed at the top of my lungs. I looked down at my skin and I realized that it was scorched. But I managed to speak, despite my mind telling me to focus on the pain. "Why?" I whispered. The woman knelt down beside me and whispered something in my ear that chilled me to my bones. My eyes were slits with her this close to me. I wanted to kill her. "What do you think, Elora? This is war." ___ COMPLETED All rights to the owners.

"So." She mused, sliding one black nail across her lip in a sensual caress as she stared at me with eyes the color of molten gold. "You are the one they call Huntress." Disregarding the pain in my side from the most recent beating, I straightened my shoulders and stood tall, my chin jutting out in defiance. "Yes." "Mm." Those intriguing eyes watched me from her languid position on the throne. "But, you are not just a huntress, are you?" I allowed the predatory instincts I usually worked so hard to keep hidden, to surface, feeling the burning of my eyes and shifting of bones under my skin. A slow grin slid across my face as my beast stared back at her through my human skin. The Queen didn't react to my sudden change of character, instead choosing to lean forward in interest. "How fascinating." • Once, the world was ruled by humans and technology. They were governed by a president that made choices for all. Vampires, werewolves alike hid their existence from the humans for centuries, blending in as a whole. Now, they hid no more.

Plagued by vivid dreams of a faceless man with piercing eyes who whispers her name, Vespera feels an inexplicable connection to this stranger. Unbeknownst to her, these dreams are not ordinary-they are visions tied to an ancient curse that binds her soul to an immortal vampire. Lucifer, a centuries-old vampire, has spent his endless life haunted by a prophecy foretelling that his soulmate will awaken his humanity-but only at a cost that could destroy them both.

But their connection unleashes a chain reaction, summoning dark forces that have been hunting Lucifer for centuries-creatures even more ancient and powerful than vampires. As Vespera uncovers the truth about her dreams, her soul's connection to Lucifer, and the cost of their love, she must decide whether to embrace a love destined to defy eternity or sever their bond to save the world as she knows it.
