Lily thought their story was just beginning. Now, she's not sure if it was ever real at all. Declan was her always. From the day they met to the moment they said I do, he filled her world with the kind of love that made forever feel too short. Their first days as husband and wife pass in a blur of laughter, happiness, and the quiet certainty that nothing could change the way she felt about him... until she overhears a conversation that was never meant for her ears. "...You need to trust me..." Their love had felt like a dream, but all dreams must end. And this one shatters, leaving Lily disillusioned and heartbroken, questioning if everything between them had been a lie-or if an even more painful truth is hiding behind Declan's betrayal. *Perceived cheating only This story is complete and free to read on Patreon.

An eleven-year-old Mimi can see demons. She finds one feeding on a mafia boss, unconscious and bleeding out against her favorite breakfast dumpster. When she saves his life, he rewards her by forcibly taking her from the streets to adopt her. But Mimi doesn't want a dad. She just wants to go back to her parking garage, away from people and the demons that feed on them, which her new 'home' just happens to be full of. She's also not stupid enough to believe a guy who is practically a demon himself could make good parenting material, especially for an unwanted freak like her. And whatever happened to her childhood friend, the monster under her bed? Rated M for violence, some language, mentions of torture, killing people, uh, mature subjects...am I missing anything? The point is, it's not M for porn or inappropriate relationships. Just dark stuff.

My father blackmailed Heroux Alarie into marrying me, with the promise he would tell the Alarie where the woman he loved was at the end of three years.

Despite this, living with Heroux was better than living with my family. Then things began to change and everything went to hell...and I had to escape, never thinking anyone would care. But he did.

My blood bride, my love, is my everything. When her blood soured, I refused to accept the end of us. I would find a way. I held out for as long as I could against the Hunger's need. Now, she won't give me a choice after what happened. Until we find out the surprise. And she needs me. Threats are all around but I'll do anything to keep her safe while I win her back.

First, I caught him with her in a restaurant on the anniversary of the day we met. He explained it all. Then, he came home with lipstick by his ear. He explained that, too. I found a secret phone with texts between them. He denied it was his and explained it away. But when I found out something he had lied about... That he couldn't explain.

I was the perfect wife for five years, but he never loved me. He only had eyes for her, his first love. So I decided to end our marriage and move out. But a week later, he showed up at my door. "Divorce?" He looked at me with red eyes. "Say that again."
