Kidnapping

My father sold me to the Dragon Academy for the price of one dead wolf, tossing me into a hall full of monsters who wanted to eat me alive. "She has no shift. She has no use. The dragons will take her," he said, leaving me in heavy iron chains that bit into my bone. The beautiful, cruel dragon students laughed. "Prey," one of them dropped the word at my feet. "Maybe it's lunch." I was property. A ...

Lily Garcia got noticed on her first day delivering food.
They said the man in the Wexford mansion district never showed his face, and that he had an appetite — that he chose prey with the most life in it.
Lily didn’t believe in that kind of talk. Not until she was locked inside a billion-dollar house with the lights out and a breath settling against her throat.
You smell like a concha fresh from ...

They bred me to be sold--a doll, a bargain, a tool with a crown.
When they gave me to Alric, the werewolf Alpha every soldier fears, I expected chains.
Instead, he saw me. Chose me. Made me feel, for the first time in twenty years, like I was worth something more than my price.
Then my father showed me what he truly is--eyes burning red, hands that can stop a heart between one breath and the next....

"Big Kai?"

He didn't respond but moved his eyes around the room, scanning the place.

"Wha...what are you doing here?"

His icy blue eyes returned to me, sending shivers down my spine. Then further dropped to my dress and then back to my eyes.

"The shit going on downstairs, what does it mean?" he asked, making my legs as weak as they are eager to flee.

"It's....it my wedding,"

He scoffe...

Angelo thought he could throw me away? Bella thought she could take everything from me?

"Tell me to stop." His mouth grazed her throat, unhurried, deliberate. "Say it, and I'll let you walk out of here alive."

Elena didn't say it.

His lips licked my right shoulder upward to my neck and then he kissed my ear.
I swallowed hard as I was only left with my bra and underwear. Mildly, he took off my bra and then his fingers shred my underwear apart rendering me naked.
I clutched my hands over my chest, even if I wanted to shed tears now, it would be useless and so I just had to surrender to let him do his thing. "Don't hide," he w...

The night they came for my sister, I cut my own palm and offered the Devil a better bride.

I did it in front of the whole city. I thought I was just a substitute, a disposable girl thrown into the fog to save the sister I loved. But when the Devil appeared—tall, dressed in black that drank the light, with eyes like pale, cold coins—everything changed.
