She spent her entire life in servitude, raised to believe she was just ordinary - an insignificant speck in a world she's always been sheltered from. But one fated encounter is about to change her mundane existence forever, and she's all too willing to answer the call of her destiny. --------------------------------------------- Abandoned as an infant, Sahera has spent all her days at the beck and call of Mother Lucine, the matron of the convent she was raised in. Suffering exclusion and abuse from both her maternal figure and her sisters, she copes with the belief that this is the debt she owes. Keeping her head down makes her day to day more bearable, and as long as she has food and shelter, she shouldn't want for more. Still, she can't help but feel she doesn't belong in the slightest. It isn't until she meets the mysterious yet generous Roman that she begins to question if there's more to this miserable existence of hers. The last thing she expects is to be completely uprooted from her world and thrust into the treacherous yet beautiful reality he lives in. The mission he's on, accompanied by his four beautiful and intimidating guardians, seems like something beyond her wildest dreams. It certainly feels like fantasy when he reveals the role she supposedly plays in his life. Sahera eagerly rises to the challenge, but with ferocious foes she's never seen the likes of at every turn, crushing secrets ready to unfold, and her enigmatic past waiting to be revealed just on the horizon, will she be able to withstand all the trials and tribulations?

"Why are you late?" He questions, sounding exactly as I remember "You know, traffic." I apologize, making a turn to trudge to him majestically. "If you say so," he nods, the night preventing my view of his face "Thank you, Azazel," I mutter, my tone neither high nor low. "Why did you want to see me?" He polls, his voice resounding through the dark abandoned warehouse. "Yes Azazel," I smirk and try to hide the slight fear of reject nagging at the back of my head. "What is it about?" He implores his arm going to rub his prominent chin as he fixes a stare at me. "I want my soul back," I inform, matching his gaze with mine. "How do you plan on getting it back?" He quizzes, stepping a few inches my way into the light. "With a deal Azazel, or more specifically, a pact," I tell using all my energy to stop my feet from moving backward. "That is very difficult Xander, you sealed your vow with a drop of blood," he argues, the moonlight falling more on his face as he tilts his head upwards. "And I'm here to make and seal another," I converse awaiting a reply. "No, you got what you wanted, to be rich, famous, and loved, what else do you desire?" He asks, his supernatural blue eyes having a scary glint to them. "My soul," I repeat. "Plus I know you love making deals Azazel, no matter how you try to hide it, I see the excitement and mischief you try to conceal." "Same way I see the little fear of rejection bubbling within you, I detect it in your eyes, I hear it in your heartbeat, and the blood pumping through your veins," he sneers in response, squaring his wide shoulders to come off as intimidating. "Hence we understand each other well, we know you've got more to win than lose, and I've got more to lose than win," I confess. "You are right," he lets out in a husky tone, his red lips curving into a hint of a smile. "So what do you say demon, you in?" I invite, my eyebrow raised "I am," he gleams. "What's this pact about?"

This story is told following Carlos Carvalho de Azevedo Silva or simply Carlos. A paranormal investigator prodigy from Brazil who began this life at age 12, shortly after going through remarkable and traumatic events and having his soul connected to one of the most powerful creatures of the 'Other Side', a.k.a. Paranormal World, the King Wendigo. For having his soul linked to such a dangerous creature, he would be killed where he was found, but the chief investigator instead of decreeing his death, he spared Carlos' life. Then he reached out to him to be one of them and and became Carlos's mentor to control the King Wendigo so that he would not cause evil, but use it to save people. After 6 years as a Paranormal investigator, his mentor lost contact with him and everyone else after making a trip to Kouh, Japan to investigate a possible Paranormal appearance. Without thinking twice, Carlos traveled to Kuoh with the mission of finding his mentor and ensuring his safety.

(READ ALL BEFORE STARTING BOOK) This is unedited. After the death of a 24 year old girl she's reborn, but the world around her seems different. Not only does she have an entirely different family, she sees... dead people. (And maybe more!) Her family claimed she was crazy and a liar for saying she could see ghosts. It was a disgrace to their family and the family name. So, she was ordered to keep quiet about it. She couldn't say a word about her occurrences to anyone. Maybe she is crazy, but the events that unfold when she meets a group of "demons" help explain why she is who she is. All she had to do was find an abandoned crypt in the middle of the woods.

Well Calorine is a rich, silly, carefree, beautiful but living a dead life. She's in great love with wine and drugs which consumes her into a life where she does what she wants without thinking and erasing embarasing memories of what she has done. She takes it very easy. To her, as long as alcohol slides out the fact about the sudden death of her mother. She thinks she dont need to discover life or world anymore. To her, her father, few friends, money and most importantly alcohol to which she is blindly addicted is her life. But her life takes a drastic turn, unfolding the cloth from her eyes when she discovers the mansion she's living in, is actually haunted with plotted twists. ●it's my own plotted story. ●Rewriting (due to changing my username so many times, some users may won't be able to find my profile so my current username is Ridiculouspunk)

Seraphina and Draven have a unique past that neither even knows about...another life another time...several in fact. They were unknowingly betrayed destroying their very existence. Wronged and separated which torn the very fabric of magic and fate, setting off events that could possibly destroy life on the planet as we know it. They were destined to be together, soulmates of the strongest degree. Yet forces unknown were set in motion to try and separate them for good. Seraphina's death was the key to changing the balance of the war between Demons and Angels, both sides seeking the power she held. Draven's destiny was to protect her. If they failed? Chaos in the Universe. Ever wanted to know what each character was thinking during a situation? Get inside their head? Have you ever read a story where the two main characters were written by two different writers? it makes the characters completely unique with completely different personalities. This story is not written in the normal style. It is written by two separate writers. The story is unique, exciting, action packed supernatural horror and romance. With twists and turns, Angels and Demons, weapons, love, you name it. We the writers are extremely passionate about this story and the characters. We have written all 7 books already for series one (including a prequel about how they met as teenagers and what really happened that dreadful night they were separated in this life). We also started a series 2, and a spin off where they are never separated that night and had to run away without knowing demons were after them or even that they existed. Not sure if anyone will even read it, but if you do, your opinions would mean a great deal to us. thank you! PS Cover is under construction from Artist but its a character design of our characters

Would you sell your soul for fame? Adelaide did. Now the Devil is back, and he wants to make a new deal. Her soul in exchange for evidence that his son is breaking the law. But what happens when she finds herself falling in love with the Devil's son. Adelaide is caught between her past and present as her plan to uncover the truth starts to unravel. Unsure of her future, she fights to gain control of her life. • • • "Ms. Hepburn, we have a delivery for you," an assistant said nervously, a vase full of red roses in her hand. "Thank you, please just set them over there," I stated with a smile, pointing to an empty table next to my stuff. After she passed I looked over to the main entrance, there were multiple vases of roses. I went to the one that had a note pinned to one of the thorny flowers. It said 'Six hundred and sixty-six reasons that I want to see you again. - Lucius Stewart.' How did he even know I would be here? I was in complete shock. Six hundred and sixty-six flowers for six hundred and sixty-six reasons? He might as well have just tattooed 'Devil's Spawn' on his forehead. How could one man be so rich and so powerful, seemingly just as smart, but be so God damn cliche? It would've been more respectable for him to have put 'Hey! Can't wait to sixty-nine with you!' Might as well just introduce himself as his unholiness and tell everyone about all the souls he tortured during his childhood. I have six hundred and sixty-six reasons to want to make him fall in love with me so that I don't have to live in hell for all eternity. Un-fucking-believably stupid. Unless he's trying to mind game me and is trying to see if I'm just the stupid little model he thinks I am? • • • #84 ONC2020 #128 opennovellacontest2020 Made it to round 3! :)))

"I know you're a virgin but have you never been touched?" He asked, sliding his other hand down onto her leg. "What makes you say that?" Kat breathed, bracing her hands on the counter. "You react like someone who's never felt another's touch," Nex whispered, slipping his thumb under the band of her shorts. "So, have you not?" Kat opened her mouth to speak but stopped when his hand slid up from her leg, gliding up her stomach and stopping just below her breast. "Not even here?" He asked, following the curve of her breast with one finger, not touching, staying just below as he dragged it back and forth. "What about here?" He asked, sliding his hand down from her ribs to the bottom of her shorts then around to her butt, fingers nearly grazing it as he inched them up, under her pajamas. "I can say with certainty, never here," he said, lowering his other hand under the waistband of her shorts, touching the top of her underwear. "No, you've definitely never felt that before. I can hear your heart racing, I can feel your breathing, I can smell your body responding like it's never experienced these sensations before," he whispered, sliding a finger just underneath the band.
