He loves his pack, he really does, but as their Omega he's always the one to bear the brunt of their rage.

Worse, they may not have too long to figure their feelings out. Someone or something is gunning for Ellis and anyone else who gets in the way; they won't rest until the vampire is destroyed. |

Crystals and Contracts by A.A. Fairview My landlord is going to hate me for what Iām about to do. Iāve never had a father and never wanted one either. To my dismay, I do have a father, Arthur le Fayāa crime lord witch. Afraid for not just my safety, but the safety of my friends and coven, I have no other choice but to make a deal with a devil. A little drastic? Maybe, but itās certainly effective. At least it would beāif the devil would agree to make a deal with me! Now I have a devil in my apartment and no idea what to do about the le Fays. I just want them to leave me aloneā¦ or maybe I want them afraid of me. Fear is one hell of a motivator. But no amount of fear will get this devil of mine to behave. Heās much more partial to exchanges, my body for his benevolence. Nothing good can come from feelings, especially when he insists he has none. |
Teeth and Tarot by A.A. Fairview "It's not my fault, I tell myself. Daily affirmation. Unfortunately." I fled the comforts of my wealthy, witch family a decade ago. I like to think I've settled into a human existence; clubs, hookups, early morning coffee runs... And the nightmares could always be worse. But I find myself drawn to this stud, this guy at my local coffee spot, who just feels too good to be true. But a one-night stand can't hurt. Right? Like a curse I can't escape, I'm back in the world I fought so hard to leave. Witches, gangs, and werewolves abound. Nevermind that stud went and got himself bitten by a werewolf. I'm bad at letting go, at just forgetting. I don't want to forget this guy... Even if that puts us both in danger. |
