Zusammenfassung

"Why are you wearing cow head mask? Lilith asks you this question the third time." Amon groaned, tipping his head up. It made the snout of his mask point at the sky, making Lilith giggle as she found the view funny. "It's weird. Lilith thinks you're ugly that's why you're hiding your face." Hearing this, Amon couldn't help but look at her through his mask. If only he wasn't wearing it, Lilith would see how he arched a brow at her statement as he didn't like what she said. "You said it's rude for people to be ignored. Aren't you being rude for making such a remark?" "Oh!" Lilith gasped, making her cuter as she immediately touched her mouth with both of her hands in an attempt to shut herself up. The little girl spoke again, her voice heard even though she talked softly. "Lilith didn't mean to... Lilith is sorry. But Lilith was honest. Doesn't that make Lilith a good girl?" *** Amon, the Grim Reaper, appeared in the mortal realm to fulfill his job in collecting the souls of the dead. However, an unusual event occurred when he was about to collect one dying pregnant woman's soul. She was giving birth right before she died, making Amon panic and worry as her dying wish was for him to save her child! With the Grim Reaper actually a softie and is willing to take care of the infant despite the rule of their job to not interfere in mortal affairs, what lies ahead for Death and his now-growing human, Lilith? *** "Why do you wear that?" "19 years have passed—" Amon started, "—and this is still what you want to ask about?" "Well, yes." Lilith grinned. --- WARNING: Some chapters of this story contain mature R-18 content.

Chapter 1Death

"Amon..."

"Yes?"

In the Kingdom of Gehenna stood the Grim Reaper Amon before the King of the Underworld, Blanc. Beside him was another Grim Reaper, the veteran of all, Eucraick, who decided to be Blanc's personal adviser rather than ruling the kingdom despite being the right heir.

Amon bowed before the king. With Eucraick and Blanc looking at him proudly, he was then instructed to stand up.

"Rise, Amon." Blanc spoke with a warm but assertive tone. "You are now to get the special task of my uncle."

"I know," Amon replied, slowly rising elegantly from where he knelt. "And I won't disappoint," he added, as he slightly adjusted the heavy bone mask that he wore to hide his face.

Noticing that he is quite struggling with how to wear his mask, Eucraick and Blanc looked at each other worriedly, and then back at Amon.

"Does he really have to wear that mask?" Blanc asked, talking to Eucraick even though the person they were talking about is right in front of them.

"He has no choice," Eucraick answered as he crossed his arms in front of his chest. "You know of the consequences once he removes his mask."

His Majesty Blanc and adviser Eucraick then focused their attention back at Amon. Amon completely heard what they were talking about, but it didn't bother him much as he got used to how people treated him because of his difference.

"There is no need to worry, Your Majesty," Amon assured, giving him a small bow. "I am used to it, and I will make sure that I will use my power with great responsibility."

"Mm." Blanc then nodded once, waving his hand as if to give him his final order. "Alright. Today is your first day as the kingdom's Grim Reaper. You know what to do, and with your power being special, you know how to control it."

Amon raised his head. With a small, acknowledging smile, he then disappeared into thin air, leaving the king and his adviser alone.

It was silent for a while. With the night sky along with the red moon shining brightly in their dark heavens, Blanc let out a sigh as he stared out the kingdom's window.

"What are you thinking of?" Eucraick asked, leaning on the king's throne. It was okay for him to act this casually because the king is indeed his nephew.

Blanc shook his head, and released yet another sigh. With him propping his hand under his chin to rest his head, he gazed at the spot where Amon was just standing a moment ago.

"I don't know if we're taking advantage of the man or not," he honestly answered, Eucraick, arching a brow at him in wonder.

"You think we're taking advantage of Amon?"

"Yes," Blanc answered, now raising his head to look at his uncle eye to eye. "He only has a unique power as a demon that none of us have. You know, too, that as a former Grim Reaper of this realm, that Amon is different from everyone else."

"I know... and that is why, I chose him for this job since I will now commit to you fully as your adviser."

Blanc closed his eyes. At the same moment, the door of the throne room flew wide open, not even surprising the king and the adviser. It was as if that they are already used to this happening that it was like part of their daily lives.

"Dad, grandpa."

A black-haired man stood before them smugly as he crossed his arms in front of his chest.

"Where's Amon?"

Blanc slowly opened his eyes. The moment he saw the man's red eyes, he greeted him familiarly with a smile.

"Nevin, nice to see you again, son."

Ignoring his father's greeting, Nevin rolled his eyes at him and repeated his question.

"Where's Amon?"

"I believe you already know the answer to that question." Eucraick answered for the king instead. "He is now doing his first job as the Grim Reaper and—"

"Didn't I tell you to specifically put him in my army?"

With Nevin interrupting his grandfather, Eucraick then looked at him sternly and answered back.

"You are leading the demon army, I know... but what wars are you fighting for? It has already ended between Gehenna and Elysion."

Nevin narrowed his eyes at him. "You may never know what will happen if we are not careful. There are activists in our kingdom and—"

"Nothing is happening yet." Blanc interrupted his son this time. "For now, Amon is needed while Eucraick focuses on advising me for the kingdom."

"Tsk!"

Nevin clicked his tongue. With him already walking away as he knew that there is nothing that would change the mind of his father and grandfather, he decided to head towards his room to visit his wife. Now that the king and the adviser are left alone, both of them sighed at the same time.

Even though they are used to Nevin barging in the throne room from time to time, they still get tired of how adamant he is to get what he wants.

***

Amon appeared in the human realm. With the night breeze blowing and with the leaves dancing above and around him, he took a deep breath.

'It rained recently,' Amon thought to himself, looking at the ground beneath him. He then saw his own reflection.

He saw his slightly disheveled shoulder-length black hair. With his bone mask taken from a cow that is covering his face, he still saw his bright red eyes and his face tattoo peering through it.

Amon let out a sigh. He immediately averted his gaze from his own reflection and proceeded to walk around the vicinity in search of dying souls.

Amon always hated looking at himself. He always hated looking at himself because of how special he is.

He never asked to be special—he never wanted to be born special.

But since he didn't know the reason of living, he took the invitation of Eucraick out of whim—on the spot, as if it was the answer to his immortal question.

What is his reason for living and what is his reason for having such a power?

Amon knew that he could never remove his mask because if he did... a lot would succumb to an unexpected fate.

Death.

Reborn As Cursed Alpha's Mate

What happens when a goddess falls in love with a shifter? Asara; the goddess of love, was punished by her father, the god of thunder. Her crime being falling in love with a mortal shifter Alpha. To pay for her sins she was reborn as Cassandra LeBlanc; a mortal Princess in the magical Kingdom of Speldaria. Her family and kingdom, except her middle sister, shunned her for she was born without any magical abilities and she had no recollections of her true identity. Her betrothed, the powerful mage commander of the Speldaria, was unbothered by her. He wished for someone strong. Cassandra’s life was toppled when she was gifted a warrior slave by the mighty Alpha of Dusartine. She was asked to take part in the Yearly Arena Event by collaborating with the warrior. Cassandra who hated ‘The Arena’ with her very breath. A place where blood flowed like wine and life was cheaper than the very air they breathed didn't understand her purpose in it. On top of that, the mysterious warrior affected her in unimaginable ways. His hypnotic gaze unsettled her. His rare essence overwhelmed her. His muscular bronzed body consumed her with sinful thoughts. Even the dreams of her past life plagued her. When ‘The Arena' began the hidden agendas and underlying truths came to light and Cassandra was played a hand of fate. She was left with no choice but to give in and choose a path. The question would be. How will Cassandra grapple once she learns of the curse placed on her? Will she be able to obtain her magical abilities and stand up to her father? Who will help her along the journey? ~Excerpt~ Then she felt him, all of him. All his ruggedness. The strength of his arm. The softness of his lips. The grip of his hand. The warmth of his breath. Every muscle in her body went taut at the implications of sleeping in a man’s arms. She had never slept in a male’s embrace before. Her whole skin tingled like tiny sparks dancing on the very parts that connected with him. The crevices of her brain had these memories which weren't hers. This touch somehow didn't seem foreign to her. She felt safe in his soothing embrace and didn't wish to push him away and yet she knew this was far from appropriate. Cassandra tried to wriggle out of his hold, his arms seemed to be built from iron for they wouldn't budge. The light garment she had worn had lifted from her milky thigh baring it as his bronzed muscular one was draped on it. And now she could sense something poking her back. Her eyes suddenly expanded from the realisation and Cassandra fully panicked. “Let go!” She voiced out, heavily. Siroos slowly lifted his leg and slackened his hold on her waist so she could shuffle away. He had awakened when she had stiffened for the first time but wished to behold what she would try. With eyes blown wide she stole a glance towards the man who had her wrapped in his embrace like a precious treasure, his treasure. His molten gold eyes had flickered open and there was this softness and want with which he stared at her. Those soft brown curls cascaded over his eyes as he forgot to blink, watching the timeless beauty that she was. Her one-of-a-kind fragrance was a torture to his senses. How he wished to grab her dainty ankle, pull her from it and have her sprawled underneath him. To kiss the very skin that oozed such scent which was driving him insane. Instead, he bent his arm and placed it under his cheek using it like a pillow to watch her with desire-filled eyes. The awkward lull between them prolonged as Cassandra cleared her throat. “Did you have to climb on me to sleep?” “It wasn't intentional but was certainly enticing and definitely won't be the last time.” His deeply hypnotic voice was even more alluring this early in the morning as it resonated all around her. The book cover is mine.

His Forsaken Luna

Vulnerable to her desires, she ran into the woods to escape a potential scandal. But when a masked man catches her, his touch tosses all reasoning aside. What should have been a simple humiliating event for the princess turns into a night of passion. There was one problem though: she couldn't remember who she mated with! The slave who carried her to bed. The knight who knelt before her and offered his canines for touching her. The sworn enemy Alpha Prince, who confessed his love for her. Follow Idalia as she navigates between three Weres. One is a pretty guy eager to please her to escape his fate, another trying to reclaim his honour while unable to control his desires, and the last is a villain using her for his goals, but a flame festers between them at every interaction. A slave, a knight and a villain prince, who will she choose? [ Mature Content ] "You smell like the sun." His strides are long and confident, heading in my direction like he knows exactly what he wants. He stops before me, and my head tips back. "How is that possible?" His voice drops to a rumbling whisper. Now that he was close to me, the burning ache deep within started to throb and palpitate. His body tensed, and then he was on me, nose against my neck, inhaling deeply, one hand on the side of my hair, pinning me in place with his hips. My head tilts back, unable to stop myself from giving into his touch, exposing my neck more to him, his chest rumbling as he licks the side of my skin, kissing and nipping, placing his scent over me. I am completely and utterly at his mercy. I vaguely hear material ripping, and then his warm hand cups me. "You're not finished yet," his voice is thick and deep, and it shoots straight to my tingling, pulsing core. His touch is almost possessive, and I nearly beg him to do whatever he wants with me. "Should I make it better?" His whisper is a caress against my ear before he nips the lobe, a bite promising that this would not be tender. - Daily chapter uploads -
