The Book Of Desire

WILLIAM FAULKNER

This quotation for Faulkner’s 1936 novel comes from the Books of Samuel – more specifically, 19:4 in 2 Samuel, which is in the Old Testament and relates some of the history of Israel. Absalom, the third son of David, rebelled against his father and was killed in battle. The full Biblical sentence is But the king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son! Faulkner was a big fan of borrowed titles: his 1939 If I Forget Thee, Jerusalem is also from the Bible, Psalms 137:5. The line in question is If I forget thee, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill.

Gavin Hawthorne is the second alpha prince of the Moon Valley Kingdom, an established place for both werewolves and humans, said to be protected from the creatures they consider heartless and evil: witches. After an incident in his childhood where he has been abducted, Gavin starts to dream of things he doesn't understand, though all of them are suppressed by the medicine the Alpha King advises him to take. On an event that pushes him to a quest to find the cure for his poisoned elder brother, the First Prince, Gavin slowly begins to unravel the mysteries about his dreams, about witches, and about the person closest to his heart, Carrie Dwight, the adopted daughter of one of the Alpha King's concubines and rumored to have a "fake" soul after having once resurrected from the dead during her childhood. Together, Gavin and Carrie would realize that only by knowing the darkest shades of the moon, of prophecies and destinies, would they be able to protect the person they treasure the most from the world that questions people's identities and values through origins and blood, time and time again... * * * It is hate between two origins and love that goes beyond what fate dictates. This is a story about alphas falling in love with people regarded as evil creatures for many centuries. Their journeys are rough, full of betrayal and longing. Still, they take their strength fueled by their blood and their love that wouldn't back down. But this kind of attachment ― where exactly is it headed? That destination seems too far away... Too unclear, strange, and frightening... But if that means I can see you again, nothing will be able to stop me. Not even my own kind. For you, I'm ready to paint the entire world with blood... In a world full of creatures that continue to dictate people's values through origin and blood, can love still find the light it wants to perceive? A wolf who cried witch.

always [cherryblossom soulmates]

A battle that seemed endless for seasons to come. Good against sin. Nobles against Commoners. Neither side securing the upper hand as the spirits of the rebellion soldiers dampen with each fleeting moment. Why continue to struggle when death was their only fate? A fate no one wanted but showed to be inevitable. Suddenly hope bloomed within the rebellion. A hope nothing could quench as The Four Rings appeared. Where did they come from? A gift of the gods and goddesses that haven’t rejected them? Only time will tell as their stories evolve. A title that would continue to be neglected. A band of the unlikely take on the world for eons to come. Death after death they lay awaiting amongst the stars for their turn to shine. Romance blossoms between the most unlikely pair as they fight against all odds. A strange bond that would eternally be recognized for generations to come. A passion so deep that not even the gods could break them apart… but who said the gods wanted to tear them apart? The gods were never the threat, but the people. People can be angels, but in a matter of moments, can change into demons.

You Stole My Life

The ground shook like something big fell. I almost lost my balance but Tyler walked away as if he didn't even feel it. I slowly turned around, afraid of what was behind me. I looked up and my jaw dropped. In front of me was a beast twice as tall as me. It's eyes were hollow and dark but yet it seemed to see me clearly in the dim sky. It had wings spread behind its back like those of a bat. The body was like of a human but with rough charred skin. I took a step back on fear and fell down. "That's the response I was expecting." it said. The voice sounded a bit female. I was too shaken to speak. "Calm down... I am not going to kill you. I literally can't do it." it continued. "Your care already did that."
