Blood & Honey #1

~A Wattys and Fiction Award winner*A lion does not need an invitation from a lamb. That is not the way of the predator. Predators take what they want, when they want it, however they please. And this belief that I am, that evil is, enslaved by the dark night is humorous to say the least. Why would any creator make their pupil inept of withstanding the lighted world when this planet is covered in daylight for half of its life span? No, our Maker did not instill such restrictions for, up here on these earthly lands, we are the gods of prey. ~ Tristan There is only one rule vampires must follow--Bite Hard. It is forbidden for humans to know vampires exist so you can imagine Tristan Darkos's surprise when he finds one that knows what he is. He can tell by the tremble of her body, the thump-thump of her pulse, and her dilated pupils. He's going to have to finish what some other vampire started. The problem is when Tristan gets close to this human his blood turns to fire and the thirst that burns in his throat that should spell her doom twists until he's consumed by another need--one that is evocative, primitive, and...wrong.If Tristan doesn't figure out the mystery that is Kinley Shea Rylan, it is certain whatever dark force her honey blood is summoning forth will be the end of him and, possibly, the end of the world as we know it. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Author note: - This is an original work with my take on Vampires.

New to Ketterdam

Julia Lawerence is new to Ketterdam. Thankfully she's got Kaz Brekker watching out for her unknowingly. Through a seemingly random series of events, Julia Lawerence is brought into his most daring heist yet-the Ice Court. - I do not own any of the characters or setting except for Julia Lawerence. Leigh Bardugo own the world and the characters aside from the OC. - No smut or language. - Cover page is pending; Will have an official cover later. - I try my best with the grammar, but this is largely unedited aside from Google Docs recommendations.

One More Chance (Zayn Malik)

I was cuddled on the couch flipping though my channels. Then I rose to my feet and I stood by the window. The sky was tar-black and the large clouds were moving towards me. The roofs of the cars danced with spray and I could hear the murmuring of the rain through the window. It sounded like the buzzing of angry bees.I flinched as the door bell rang snapping me out of the silence. It must be Logan. I thought.I traipsed to the door as I opened it carefully.What the-I blinked a few times to make sure I'm not hallucinating.I took in the features of the person right infront of me as I looked for words.He was looking straight into my eyes as his wet hair rested on his forehead."Diana" His voice rang through my ears as I took in his voice and his wet face."Zayn" I said his name for the first time in a year and that was when everything started changing again.
