Sinopse

Marley made sure to avoid the man's gaze as she spoke. "Why are you back so soon? Shouldn't you be planning your wedding or something?" "I'll leave that to my mother." The god closed the gap between him and Marley completely, he stood so close that his warm breath was hitting her forehead. "She'll start wedding preparations after I've properly proposed and presented the ring." Apollo spoke as he tucked a lock of hair behind Marley's ear. Marley felt her chest tighten. He was going to take her ring idea and propose to Marpessa? And why was he telling her about it? Couldn't he see that he was hurting her? "Oh" was all Marley could say. "I was thinking of doing it now, the sooner the better. Besides, I don't want to have to wait any longer to spend the rest of my life with this woman," Apollo spoke with a sly smile. He was very well aware that Marley had no idea that he was talking about her, given her sullen and sad expression. "Do what you want." Marley responded. She turned her face away from Apollo, trying hard to hold back her tears. She was about to walk away from him when she noticed his form descending to the ground. The brunette turned towards Apollo and saw him on the marble floor, down on one knee with a white tulip flower in hand. On the stalk of the tulip, was a gold ring incrusted with diamonds. "Marley, my little flower, I have never felt for any woman what I feel for you, and I am sure I never will. For you, I would defy all odds, break all rules and undergo all trials..." Marley covered her mouth with her hands as tears rolled down her cheeks. "It would make me the happiest man if you became my wife." Apollo removed the ring from the flower and presented it to the girl. "Would you make this creepy old man happy and marry him?" ———————————————————- In an age where love between humans and gods is strictly forbidden, the Greek god Apollo's immortal heart is captured by a beautiful human woman. Will their affair bring the two realms together, or will it lead to a raging war. Go on a thrilling romantic adventure with the Greek gods in a tale of passion, forbidden love, betrayal and grief.

Chapter 1CHAPTER 1 : LOVESTRUCK

"Good morrrrnig Tokyo! The time is 7 AM and it's a beautiful sunny Saturday! You're listening to DJ dazzle starting up your morning with some upbeat grooves!"

Marley sat up and turned her alarm off. She had already been awake for a couple of hours, just laying there in her bed waiting to watch the sunrise through her window. She picked up her phone and scrolled through her notifications as if expecting someone in particular to message her.

It had been a week since Marley had finally made the tough decision of ending her 2 month toxic relationship. She had received a lot of opinions on the matter from a lot of people, but she wasn't the kind of girl to drag things along. 'It's only been two months don't you think you should try and work it out', 'try to give it the benefit of the doubt' , 'you're going to end up alone if you're going to be so picky'. To Marley that was all a load of crap. She knew what holding on to people who aren't good for you could do. She'd experienced it first hand and promised herself she'd never compromise her happiness for the sake of a relationship ever again.

The sound of her phone buzzing snapped the girl back to reality from her half asleep daydreaming. She picked up the phone and saw an all too familiar name flicker on her screen.

Incoming call: Cherlynn

"Hey good morning Lynn" Marley spoke into the phone with a sleepy voice

"Don't tell me you're still asleep!" Cherlynn protested from the other side of the line. "Are you gonna spend your whole life in your apartment feeling sorry for yourself over a two week old relationship?!"

Marley chuckled. It's funny how Cherlynn could switch from 'aww you guys are so cute together' to 'you were too good for him anyway'.

"It's actually two months"

"Two weeks, two months who cares!" Cherlynn responded, "okay listen up. It's Saturday and I want us to go out and have some fun. Just you and me, what do you

say?"

Marley wasn't the kind of person who fancied going out, she preferred nice quiet days watching anime , writing or reading books. But a day out with someone she was fond of seemed like the perfect way to get over this post breakup phase she was experiencing. "Sounds good" Marley responded, "where are we going?"

"We're going out to eat and take cute pictures" Cherlynn replied excitedly, " I'll be there in two hours, make sure you look pretty. Bye! I love you!"

"Bye"

Marley looked at her phone and smiled. Cherlynn always did have a way of making her feel better, which wasn't surprising considering the fact that they'd been best friends since they were five.

She got up and walked over to her closet, inspecting her options, "look pretty huh?"

The funny thing about breakups is even though things end on a good note, everyone wants to seem like they're doing better without the other person in their life. It's very shallow and extremely petty but apparently it's a necessary phase you have to go through to get over the dead relationship.

And that's exactly what Marley was going to do. Dress up pretty, have fun and take pictures of every 'I'm over us' moment.

Two and half hours later Marley and Cherlynn walked into a fancy restaurant. It was no surprise that the girls got a few guys turning their heads, they'd put in two hours of dressing up and makeup.

The pair sat at a window table at the back of the restaurant. The lighting was perfect and it was the perfect spot to hide from prying eyes.

"Your menus ladies" a waiter spoke as he handed them the overly decorated lists of food and drinks, "I will be back in five minutes to take your orders" the waiter added on.

"Oh thank you" Marley responded and began to run through the menu.

"It's a great place right?" Cherlynn spoke with a cocky tone in her voice. "It just opened last month. It took me a week to get a reservation here."

"Yeah it's nice" Marley responded, "you've really outdone yourself this time. Made sure to pick a place only the richest guys in town can afford. Perfect little scheme to bag yourself one of these mini blessers"

Cherlynn held her chest with her palm as if hurt by what Marley had said, yet in truth that was precisely her plan. Cherlynn had had her fair share of shitty relationships over the years, so after the last failed attempt she decided to shove love aside and find herself a man to support her financially. I mean, it's easier to nurse a broken heart on a yacht than in an old pick up truck.

"Come on Marley there's nothing wrong with wanting to enjoy my life a little" Cherlynn spoke as she sipped on the complementary champagne a waiter had placed on their table.

"Enjoy your life with someone else's credit card?" Marley shot back with a smirk

Cherlynn put down her glass and nodded, making Marley chuckle and almost choke on her champagne.

Across the room, amidst a group of young men drinking, was a tall gentleman, with golden hair and golden brown eyes who had been staring at the two girls from the moment they walked in. He observed every little detail, how she laughed, how she sipped her champagne and how she wrinkled her nose immediately after, indicating that taking alcohol was not her forte. It was almost like he was enchanted by her.

The two girls finished up their meals and started looking over the dessert menu.

"Anything catch your fancy ladies?" The waiter asked.

"Everything looks so good" Marley responded, "but the prices are insane!"

"I agree" Cherlynn responded, "these are way over our budget."

"Oh no need to worry about the price ladies" the waiter spoke, "a secret admirer is going to cover your bill for tonight, so you can order anything you want."

"Well in that case!" Cherlynn exclaimed practically drooling, "I'll have the sultan's golden cake please. Extra edible gold."

"A fine choice ma'am." The waiter responded as he penned down Lynn's order.

"Cherlynn wait!" Marley interrupted the girl who was about to add another dessert to her order. Marley then turned to the waiter with questioning eyes, "whose this secret admirer? Does he have a name?"

"I'm sorry mademoiselle but he specifically requested that his identity be kept a secret" the waiter responded, "will you be ordering anything.?"

"Umm no thank you I'm alright" Marley responded.

"You're not getting any of my cake you know" Cherlynn spoke to her best friend, "you had your chance to order and you blew it."

"Don't you find it strange that someone is willing to spend all of this money on some random women they don't know and doesn't want their identity figured out?" Marley questioned.

"Nope" Cherlynn responded as she stuffed her face with the thousand dollar dessert the waiter had set in front of her.

"What if he's some creepy stalker or a serial killer?" Marley explained. "What if the food is poisoned."

Cherlynn put down her fork and crossed her arms. "You sure know how to ruin a girl's mood Marley"

"Cherlynn I think we should get out of here. I'm suddenly not so comfortable"

Cherlynn sighed, grabbed her purse and stood up. "Fine you party popper"

As the girls approached the door three tall well built guys wearing bouncer attires, who could pass off as bodyguards blocked their path.

"You ladies leaving already?"

Marley held her purse tightly and grabbed Cherlynn's hand.

"We don't mean any harm" one of the men assured the girls, "our good friends back there were just wondering if you'd like to join them for a drink or two?"

Marley's paranoia was off the charts at this point, but she knew not to let it get the best of her in front of some random men. She breathed in, looked up at one of the men and smiled.

"Thank you, but we're actually rushing somewhere" she responded.

"Oh okay" the man responded, "maybe I could get one of your numbers and we can do it another time"

Damn! How was she going to get out of this one. If she refused to give him a number it would come off as rude. And assuming whoever it was they were talking about payed for their dinner and Cherlynn's gold covered cake, being rude was out of the question.

"Sure thing you can have mine" Cherlynn offered, knowing that Marley was not a fan of giving out her number. She dialed in her digits and handed the phone back to the man. She then grabbed Marley's hand and started heading towards the door.

"Call me any time and thank you for dinner" Cherlynn yelled as they left the restaurant.

Young master Damien's pet

"Who touched you?" he asked, his eyes brooding down at her and when she didn't answer, his voice thundered in the room, "WHO?" The butler who stood near the wall spoke shakily, "Sir, it was Mr. Reverale," Damien's face turned sour, his jaw ticking in anger he turned his face to the side where the butler stood behind. "Bring the man here." "N-now?" stuttered the butler. It was the time of night. Damien who hadn't broken his eye contact with the girl in front of him, pushed his hand against the wall which now rested beside his beautiful girl's head. Turning his body, he first looked at his butler who had his head bowed. With great courage, the butler came to meet his Master's eyes, "Do you have any other better time? Or should it be after I wring your neck?" Damien asked calmly tilting his head. Not a second later, the butler ran out of the room to return back with Mr. Reverale after twenty minutes. "Damien, are we having a late tea party?" Mr. Reverale came to greet but the master of the house had other plans. Spotting the knife that was stuck to the apple on the table, he reached for it to pull it out. Just as Mr. Reverale went to exchange a handshake with him, Damien took hold of his hand to place it on the table. In one swift movement as if he were chopping onions, he chopped the four fingers of the man off his hand making him yelp and cry in pain. "No one touches what is mine. I am sure this will remind you the next time you even think about touching her," sighed Damien as if he were tired of telling people to keep their dirty hands off his belongings. Meet Damien Quinn, a pureblooded vampire who is a complete narcissist, brash with his words and stingy even though he is rich who haggled when he bought a slave from the black market. On the other hand, meet Penelope who believes she is a 'guest' for a few days at the Quinn as she is intent on escaping from the odd vampire who needs therapy. ~ Discord: https://discord.gg/K63uVqN

The Love of a Lycan

COMPLETED! Snippet: A year ago Raine was discharged from mental institution and had to live in the orphanage. It wasn't the best place. At least not for someone like her. Until one faithful night she met him. *** He stopped the car. The clutched on the blanket tightened as Raine wonder if she did something wrong. She could feel it when Torak reached out his hand at her. Will he hit me? Raine shivered with that thought. Torak pulled back the hoodie off her head and gently tucked her hair behind her ear. "Don't." He said firmly, "I want to see you, don't hide yourself…" ************** “The spirit of the guardian angel will breathe new life into human child. Three guardian angels will be born into terrestrial world once again and the three of you will be their protectors.” “Protectors!!?” Jedrek snapped. In the end, he stopped walking and turned his back to look at the moon goddess from far distance away, his eyes glistening red with anger. His wolf was livid. “Why do you think we will help?” Kace asked while narrowing his black obsidian eyes, his wolf took control of him. He was the youngest among the three and the less temperamental among them. The three of them were cursed by Selene because of their ferocious action to gain supreme power and authority. The moon goddess didn’t bless them with a mate as a punishment of their atrocious way and forced them to involve in this deadly war with the demons. “You will turn us into a slave for those sickly creatures!?” Torak asked incredulously. “Aren’t you afraid that we will snap them into two?” The guardian angel was so fragile and they as lycanthropes didn’t appreciate the weaknesses. “No, you will not.” Selene said patiently. “You will not be their slave nor hurt them, you will cherish them in every way possible.” Jedrek laughed menacingly upon hearing this, they didn’t care about the resurrected of the beast, once they crossed their territory, with or without the guardian angel he would tear their body apart. “I will be the last person they will see, once I find them.” He was referring to both the guardian angel and the demon. But, the next voice from Selene was laced with mirth when she spoke. “You will not hurt your mate.” ============================ Session 1 (chapter 1 - 394) : Torak Donovan - Raine (completed).

The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter

WARNING! -DARK ROMANCE- “Why do you have scars?” All of sudden, Iris changed the topic, as she looked at Cane in the eyes. She was still clutching to his sleeves. “Your father gave me,” Cane replied. He thought, Iris wouldn’t remember this conversation when she woke up. “That must be so painful.” “They are.” “Will the scars heal?” “I don’t think so.” The night indeed made you vulnerable and let you said something that you would never admit when it was bright. The obscurity softened your heart. “Too bad. You have a warm soul.” Iris frowned slightly. “I no longer have a soul.” He had sold his soul for the freedom of his people. There was nothing left of him right now. “Yes, you have, but you are in so much pain.” Iris blinked her eyes. “Your beast is in pain. You have so many scars.” “The only scars that I have is on my face.” Iris shook her head meekly. “I am not talking about your face. I am talking about your soul. Too bad, you are in so much pain… what my father and brother had done to you must be painful…” And after that, Iris closed her eyes and fell asleep. ====================== She is the daughter of an alpha who has killed his family, razed his pack and has also made his people slaves. Now, he has achieved revenge after ten years of being treated as a slave and was living a life that no one would ever imagine. Life akin to hell.
