Chapter 1PROLOGUE

GRACE

'Cold heat steady as it rushes away from his body to my feet. Life covering the dark leaves and inflaming the soil. "No!! Oh God no!!" the strength in my knees buckle and collapse. My arms wrap around his limp body. The sight of light leaving his eyes is too much as tears cover his bloody face. "Please… don't go.." '

"Please!!" My eyes flutter open as my lunges try to grasp the air around me. Tears burn as they flow down my cheeks. 'Damnit!!' Movement against my ribs yanks my mind out of the past. A small boy cuddles close to my side, peacefully asleep. My heart ached as I wrapped my arms around his small body, breathing in his warm scent, and remembering how wonderful life is. 

"Mom?" His voice breaks into my deep thoughts, sending a jolt of surprise through my body.

"Yes Honey?"

"You had a nightmare." I feel the smile before my face follows.

"I'm sorry my love." he grips my gown and looks up at me.

"Mama? It's okay I'll protect you." I hug him close.

"My strong little hero." I kiss his head trying to hold back tears. "Mama's okay. We need sleep. We have a long day tomorrow." he laughs.

"We always have a long day tomorrow." We both giggle.

"Go to sleep silly-willy." He snuggles into the covers falling instantly to sleep. "Good night Kai." Dreams were sweet and kind, but then came morning.

Our small one room and bath apartment on Dock Junction is dankey and quaint. But for now it's home. Kai is only four but he can talk well and he already has the vocabulary of a ten year old. Now he's learning to spell his name among other words. When I'm not working we write in his workbooks and talk till our throats hurt.

"Mama…" I turn from the warm soapy void of plates, bowls, and utensils to Kai. "I want a guitar." My eyebrows go into my hair. "A guitar?" He nods with a giant grin. "What started this?"

"I saw a man playing one in front of Winn-Dixie." Now my eyes poped out of my head.

"When did you go to Winn-Dixie?!" His eyes get wide and he tries to avoid my dagger gaze.

"Yesterday…" I sigh. Yesterday he had told me he was sick and couldn't come with me to work. I didn't think anything of it because we're partners if he said he was sick he really is sick. but THAT will NOT be happening anymore anytime soon. 

'why would he lie? He must have had a very good reason for this… he better.' 

taking a deep breath, I try to calm down and not work both of us up to the point of anger. 

"Kai. What did you want? you know you can ask for anything." his big green eyes look at me in surprise. 

"You're not mad?" I shake my head.

"No I'm not but don't do it again or I will be. Why did you say you were sick yesterday then? And why did you go to winn-dixie?" He looked around nervously keeping his lips sealed. I raise my eyebrow and cross my arms. He begins to fidget in his chair trying to avoid my gaze. "Kai Cole Wolf." Kai jumps a little and finally takes a breath before explaining.

"Well, remember when Miss Bid gave me money for clearing the brush out of her yard?" After thinking back I nod staring at him as he explained further. "Well, I wanted to get you something with it." he looked up at me with teary eyes that caused my heart to sink. I softened my expression and smiled as I took his hand. Kai smiled as he reached in his pocket and pulled out a small necklace. "I saw it in that ball machine and I wanted to get it for you… it took me all day but I finally got it for you Mama… Are you mad at me?" My tears overflowed and I wrapped him in my arms. 

"Oh honey…" 

A BANG! BANG! BANG! came from our door causing us both to jump. Kai looked at me worried. I smiled at him, wiped my hands and eyes, and went to go answer the door.

"Get out!" shocked at the words it takes me a moment to realize that this giant of a man sporting a pornstash was Jake, our landlord, standing right in front of me.

"W-what?" was all I could manage to say.

"Get out! You're three months behind. Two days ago you got an eviction notice!  so get out!" I stare at him utterly baffled.

"Eviction notice? Jake, I never got an eviction notice."

"You did! Now get out!" He pushes through the door followed by three other men. They take our few belongings and throw them into the street, shoving me out the door, Kai running after to grab my leg. At that moment we were homeless and on our own. I looked at Kai for a long moment and as much as I hated to do it, I knew what had to be done. "Kai…. It's time to go to Daddy's cabin."

Carnivals: Claimed By The Deranged Alpha Prince [BL]

From fleeing for your safety and enrolling in a school filled with psychopaths… to being claimed by a deranged alpha prince? Yeah, you’re better off dead. • . • Jules’ life was picture perfect until his entire family got murdered all of a sudden, with him being the only survivor. A savior swooped In because he was still in immense danger, and that led to Jules taking on a new identity and becoming a completely different person overnight— and enrolling into Carnivals, a prestigious all-boys school for all supernatural beings. In Carnivals, monsters lurk the dark hallways and the strong preyed on the weak. You either become a predator or a prey… and from one look at Jules— a boy too pretty for his own good, with a slender and petite build, it was obvious that he was gonna be eaten alive by the predators. Here comes Blaze, a wolf who sends shivers down every predator’s spine in the school, an insanely hot Alpha who was as dangerous and deranged as the rumors claimed. He took one glance at Jules and decided there and then that Jules belonged to him. *** I inched backwards, eyes widening even more as my eyes zeroed in on the smirk tugging at the side of his lips. Blaze never smiled, and whenever he does, it never meant anything good. My heartbeat quickened as I scrambled backwards even more, breath stuttering to a stop as he began to narrow the distance between us. In no time, my back was plastered against the cold wall and that was when it hit me right in the chest that I was cornered and ensnared, like an actual prey… by none other than Blaze, when I had thought my life couldn’t get any worse. He towered over me effortlessly, emitting so much dominance and I had to tilt my head backwards for me to be able to meet his dark eyes, and my breath hitched when our eyes locked. He leaned down and my eyes snapped closed at once as I held my breath, waiting for him to strike. I’ve heard all the horrifying, endless rumors about him. He was an Alpha Prince whose presence someone like me should never be in. When I felt the tip of his cold nose glide over the length of my throat, my mouth fell open to release a startled gasp. He dragged in a long, audible breath and I felt a shiver rattle down my spine as I grew even stiffer, confusion clouding my mind. What was happening? Why was he doing this out of nowhere? Oh my gosh… he really was a deranged alpha like everyone says! *** THIS BOOK IS RATED 18+! It contains matured content such as: - Bullying. - Drug use. - Smut [a whole lot of it.] - Violence. - Harem [not between the main characters.] So… proceed with caution, you’ve been warned! *I don’t own the rights to the cover!

Quick Transmigration : Chased in the Multiverse (BL)

VOLUME 1: EDEN What are the odds that in every corner of the multiverse, every you would endure a life filled with misery? If you happen to be Eden, those odds stand at a resolute 100%. When Eden's mortal existence came to an end, he anticipated crossing the Nai He bridge to undergo reincarnation. But it seemed that the Gods had different plans in store for him. Instead of that peaceful journey, Eden found himself thrust into Versal, the portal to the vast multiverse, where an uncanny fate awaited. He was compelled to inhabit the bodies of countless Edens, spanning across the myriad universes. Strangely, each one of them led a life marred by suffering and met an untimely demise, mirroring his own tragic past. After traversing a thousand universes, he managed to accumulate enough power to break free from this haunting cycle. From that moment onwards, his mission unfolded—to ensure that every Eden, from every universe would exact their revenge upon those responsible for their shared torment. Who decreed that the Edens were unworthy of a prolonged and joyful existence? Whoever that may be, they were destined to face retribution once Eden had amassed enough strength to track them down. What he hadn't anticipated, however, was the relentless pursuer who dogged his footsteps across the multiverse. The enigmatic question loomed: Why was he being relentlessly pursued, and why did it seem that his pursuer coveted not his life, but his very body?
