“What was that about?” Tharen asks.

His father, now confirmed to be Mr. Baxter, just shakes his head and backs away from the doorway. “Something that we’ll talk about later.”

“But—“ “Later. There’s someone important here for you,” Mr. Baxter cuts him off, gesturing to Liam and Jeremiah.

Tharen glances at them and then his dark eyes brighten, which Liam didn’t think actually happened to eyes un...

As Farrah stood, arms crossed, starring at Danny with a mix of frustration and curiosity. He took a slow step forward. “I’ve never met anyone like you before,” he said, his voice softer than she’d expected.

Farrah raised an eyebrow, her lips curling into a smirk. “You should be grateful for that.” She tilted her head, sizing him up. “Most people wouldn’t handle me the way you do.”

Danny’s expres...

My mom and I were going on a road trip to San Diego....

I shrug into her old blue jacket.

It fits a little snug.

It was never meant for my body but I make it work, if only to be where she once was. There was a time where her heart beat behind the pocket.

Now it lives in a dark box in the garage. I pull it out once a year, twice if I’m lucky. I know there's nothing special about this old blue jacket, but it used to hold her close an...

“I see.. so you prefer no one will know about us so you could live silently happily ever after. Sure. Whatever” he shrugged, pretending not to care. “Lucas! Come on, don’t be like that, please. You know that’s not what I meant.. it’s just… complicated. If my dad will ever find out you’re a werewolf- you’re doomed!” I tried to explain. “That’s the difference! I don’t care! As long as I get to spend...

Celia was just a normal girl with a normal life until she met Kai. He changed her life but not for the better or for the worse. Before she befriended Kai she did everything normal kids her age did, she was a straight A student and she played basketball and had a part-time job at a cafe two trains away from her little town.

On a random Tuesday morning Celia was taking out the trash before heading...

I may not look like a hurricane, but inside I sure am one..

You looked dangerous from the moment I saw you. Your eyes were as deep as the ocean and cold as ice. Your cold tone always complimanted my warm and composed one..

But when we started opening up, I met the real you, a man whose past was marked on his skin, a warrior who protected his soul and a lover who cherished the ground I walked on.

I...

Helen stared out at the rapidly darkening sky, eyes glittering like stars in an onyx night as she watched the red and amber stripes fade to a more mundane obsidian colour, as if someone had grabbed the batter to a dark chocolate cake and swiped it over a goldenly baked cake. “I don’t understand, I’ve never met anyone like you before!” She sat on the widows walk above her bedroom, legs dangling ove...

The Devil’s Game

In the shadows of a moonlit city, two figures faced each other on the rooftop of a towering skyscraper. Alastor, the elusive spy known for his silver tongue and impeccable stealth, stood with his pistol aimed at the figure in front of him. Lucifer, the infamous assassin whose name sent chills down the spines of the underworld, smirked as she twirled a dagger between her fingers.

The pair sat in comforting silence and Jack took a sip from his hot chocolate that was topped with whipped cream. Which was comforting on a snowy new york day. Emma chuckled to herself watching him. “What?” Jack let out a laugh. “You have.. whipped cream.” She gestured to his nose. Jack’s cheeks pricked with a subtle pink as he swiped away the cream from his nose. “That was a test, I was testing y...
