The cracking echo of a whip ricochetted through the damp cellar. Whimpers and soft yelps followed those sounds and chains rattled against the stone wall. A single, small candle lit the confines of this space and cast haunting shadows across the walls and floor.
"You were told multiple times..." a gravely voice growled. The shadow of an arm rose on the wall with a whip in hand before it cracked down. Another yelp escaped. "Not to take food without permission!" Another crack followed by another yelp.
"I haven't eaten in four days... Please..." a young child's voice protested weakly.
"That's because you were being punished for mingling with the other children when told not to." his voice thundered in the small room. Blood bubbled and streamed down her back. Old scars were now layered with new open wounds as he reached back with the whip once more.
"I won't do it again!" she shouted as she wa
Hello! I apologize that my posting isn't as regular as it used to be. I have a lot going on that is stressing me out currently, but I am doing what I can to get this story posted for you. I know that this may seem confusing for some parts, but I promise it will make sense the deeper we go into this story and why it all will connect in the last book. Also, if you have questions, reach out to me over Facebook. However, any rudeness directed at me that is "critism" won't be taken lightly. I am an amatuer writer and I love writing this for you all. I am aware of my grammar issues and they are getting fixed. Thank you!
He ran his tongue over his lips, his pupils slowly shrunk back to their original size. He had tasted Humans before, but her, there was something more about her taste that stood out against the rest. Zalakai shut his eyes and leaned his head back against the stone wall as he inhaled deeply.Delectable.The single word crossed his mind quickly, and his leather pants felt tight around his crotch. He ran his hand over his growing length. Even for a short and quick taste, his body had a strong reaction to it. His cock throbbed against the leather and a soft pant left his lips. A sharp pain flashed in his temples, but he pushed it aside. He needed to calm down. Needed to assess the situation further before he jumped to conclusions.As predicted, it didn't take long for the red-head to escape her restraints and attempt to flee the confines of the room. He waited, his arms folded across his chest, while he leaned up against the wall on the other end of the corridor where an intersection caus
Humiliation. She could feel his eyes on her back, etched into her skin just as her scars were. For a moment, she thought she heard a sharp intake of breath from him, as if taken by surprise by what he exposed. Her hands gripped at the chains, but there was no use. Chained. Unveiled. Vulnerable. In the hands of a Demon, no less. "What are you waiting for?" She snapped. "Wrap up with the gawking and get this over with already." She hung her head, the lukewarm stone against her forehead as she shut her eyes. "Who did this to you?" The coldness in his voice shocked her. She lifted her head to peer back and became astounded by what she saw. His eyes were completely black. The irises. The pupils. All of it, coated in a thick blanket of pitch black darkness. At his temples were minor bumps protruding forth from his skin that had also darkened to a light shade of red. She turned her head away. "It doesn't matter." She said. "Tell me." He demanded. His shadow cast on the wall around her a
She practiced. Day and night. Most days go by without a single ounce of food. Yet, she continued as if death couldn't touch her. She was aware of the stares, though. The narrowed, judgemental gazes of her fellow brothers and sisters. There were murmurs among them. Tainted words that lingered in the back of her mind. They would echo. Bounce from one side of her mind to the other. On those days, she would disappear to her makeshift shack in the forest. Her haven. The scent of damp grass filled the small space. The early morning rain finally ceased and the grey clouds gave way to the first rays of morning light. However, the forest was silent. Eerily so. No birds sang their morning tunes. No rustle under the brush from rabbits, or the scurry of squirrels up trees. The forest was still. Karmina took a dagger and rested the tip of the blade into the small flame of a candle. She watched as the heat warmed the steel little by little until the edge gave off an orange hue. She pressed the b
It was brutal. Torture. Not just for Rayleigh, but for himself as well. He listened to her pant and moans. As much as she fought to keep herself silent, her body screamed otherwise. Naked before him now with a small, black vibrator on her clit held there by hands that extended out from the wall behind her. Two more hands tainted in black sulfur caressed her thighs, and another pair fondled her breasts. Zalakai sat on the edge of the bed and watched on. His cock practically pleaded to be freed from his pants and to be buried inside of her. He still hadn't a clue what his body was trying to tell him. The Exorcist he was to take care of, in his father's sense, annihilate her; burn her in the lava lake and watch her melt. Any proper torture and murder to suffice the Prince of Lust. And yet... "S-Stop this..." she panted. Zalakai's eyes narrowed as he looked her over again. Scars covered her body, but not as dark as the ones on her back. She had said nothing else about admitting her "Fat
The thread woven between her fingers dripped with ichor. Dense, black mist hovered around it, extinguishing any shred of light that dared to pass through it. She heaved an exhausted and remorseful sigh . "Does she not bode well?" A soft voice asked from her left. "No." Hecate replied as the thread faded from her grasp. "I am afraid this child is lost." "Every child becomes lost, but in time her feet will bring her back to the proper path." Another voice chipped in, slightly deeper in octave and stronger than the other. "I believe this time she is gone for good." Hecate said. She broke away from their formation and peered around her dimly lit temple. Sconces flared softly on either side of the aisle that lead to the stone steps of her altar. "What power does she wield?" Hecate turned to the soft tone of voice that belonged to Artemis. Two hounds sat at her feet. Still as statues, but their eyes shifted about. "It is Necromancy." Hecate informed her. Artemis looked away with disda
She waited. Her heart pounded in her chest from the built up anxiety and panic. Her body felt feverish, as if someone put her in an oven to roast her alive. And yet, she waited. Her thighs still trembled from the orgasmic aftermath. Juices still streamed down in her inner thighs. Still, she waited. If not for her loud heartbeat, the silence would have left her ears ringing. She shifted her heavy gaze left and right, but to no avail. As long as she was in chains, she would never feel freedom again. Footsteps on stone sounded from beyond the door and she held her breath. Soft, yet annoyed murmuring caught her ears as whoever approached the door stopped before it. Rayleigh strained to hear it, vaguely catching Zalakai's annoyed tone and another voice. Softer. Concerned, even. The door creaked open, with Zalakai the first to enter and the silver-haired man in the doorway. Now that she could focus after what happened between her and Zalakai earlier, she took in the details of the new De
Power surged through his veins. Dark and sinister magic sparked his nerves. His temples ached painfully as his horns protruded forth from them. The flesh over his shoulder blades tore apart as wings sprouted from them. Black and shimmering like a raven's. His leather pants grew tight as his cock hardened. He pulled himself away sharply and pushed Rayleigh back as he crawled backward until he pressed up against his bed. Rayleigh looked confused, if not a bit dazed, after the kiss. Once her eyes cleared up, they widened and looked him over. "What?" she asked breathlessly. "Don't come near me." he warned her, surprised at himself to hear a tremor in his voice. "No. What happened to you?" She said more sternly after she found her voice again. "I don't know." He told her honestly. "This doesn't normally happen." He said as he got to his feet and gave her distance. Rayleigh got to her feet next. "It happened before, though." She reminded him. He recalled the delectable taste of her
Agonized screams filled the air. Blood stained the grass and raging fires licked up to the darkened sky. Ichor bubbled under her feet as she crossed the open field. Power pulsed in her veins. Surged through her like electricity. Her silhouette highlighted by the flames, she felt like the embodiment of power itself. Soft groans came from behind her. She turned to find the dismembered Melonie hobbled towards her. Half dragging her broken right ankle. Her veins were a dark purple with ichor oozing from her pores. Eyes glazed over. Lifeless. Yet her body moved with life. Her hair was greasy and muddy as it clung to her rotted face. Melonie stopped beside Karmina, a faint glimmer of magic in her lifeless eyes. Karmina reached over and rested a hand on Melonie's cheek. The tip of her middle finger sunk into her exposed cheek bone. "Feed." She whispered to her. The purple glow in Melonie's eyes sparked for a moment as the command registered within her. She turned away from her and walked
There was a shift in the air. A scent of brimstone and sulfur. The smell burned his nose. Irritated him. "Aiden?" Amira called his name. He glanced over at her as she stopped beside him. "What is it? Do you sense something?" Her snow white hair draped over her shoulder as she leaned down to him. Something is here. Something that smells of Hell. He stomped the ground with his paw as he turned his nose to the wind. Aiden lowered himself slightly to the ground. Amira climbed up onto his back and he let his nose guide him. He bounded through the forest that was now his hunting grounds for himself and his people. His home. "Should I call Dante and Willow? Do you think we need back-up?" She asked him, but he tossed his head. Not until we get a closer look. Have your gun ready. "You don't have to tell me twice."---------- Dante sipped from his tea as he gazed out over the lake. The light breeze created tiny waves to crash against the small pebbles of the lakebed. He sat back in his
Zalakai followed the obsidian stone path to a marble platform. Rayleigh followed close behind him. When everything dawned on her of their predicament, he needed to be certain of something. That Nol didn't succumb to the power of Karmina. Part of him believed he would, though the rest of him hoped he didn't. Nol was soft-hearted compared to other Demons. Considering his previous life before they cast him out, he was susceptible to Karmina's power. "I appreciate the clothes." Rayleigh stated. He cast a quick glance over his shoulder at her. Before they left the Archives, he created a simple shirt and jeans. The last thing he needed was to be distracted by her nakedness, or any other Demon to prey on her. "Think nothing of it." He gave a quick grin, but he wiped it from his face. "Do you think he did?" She asked him. Zalakai stopped in the center of the platform and took her hand. She let out a small yell when he pulled her to his side. "I really fucking hope not." He grumbled. He r
Death. The stench still carried on the wind as they escorted Karmina through the village. Or what she left of it. Blood stained the dirt roads. Broken glass scattered the streets. Scorch marks remained from the fires that danced that night. Eyes stared from behind darkened windows. She didn't need to look to feel their hatred towards her. A sliver of her felt remorse. The death of her brothers and sisters pained her, but it was a numbing pain. Barely existent. The Dark Magic that coursed through her veins pulsed with life. Even as the Holy Magic restrained her from using it, it didn't stop the sinister feeling that coiled through her being. Most of all, she felt pride. She was proud of her accomplishment of Death Magic. Pride for being the only Witch in existence to achieve such a feat. Relishing in pride that many fear her. It fueled her and her Magic. As they moved her away from the village and into a field, her heart stopped in her throat. A pyre stood in the middle of the brown
Discouraging. Ariel let out a heavy and tired sigh as she sat in the room Janice had leant her while she visited. After the visit, Janice didn't ask what all had gone on. As the leader of the Coven, she shouldn't have to. With her power, she should have been able to feel what had happened behind that closed door. They all should have felt it. A gentle knock came at her door. Ariel lifted her head as it creaked open and the Beta peered inside the small room. Her heart fluttered in her chest upon seeing him. His sandy blonde hair had grown a little since the last she had seen him. His hazel eyes lit up upon seeing her and a soft, warm smile settled on his lips. "Ariel." He opened his arms to her. "Horace." She leapt to her feet and threw her arms around his neck. He embraced her, squeezing her gently, that forced a giggle from her lips. "Easy, Horace." She whispered as he released her. "Do not squeeze me too roughly." She told him as she rested a hand on her stomach. His eyes shin
The frightening revelation settled after a long, awkward moment. Karmina stared as Ariel's wings curled in and disappeared. The holy light that enveloped her gradually faded. The glow in her eyes diminished and she appeared normal once again. Ariel let out a sigh as she retreated to the chair that had launched backward from the force of her transformation and sat it upright again. "Please. Do not have me do that again." She said as she took her seat once more. "You..." Karmina stuttered. "You are..." Her trembling hand covered her mouth as she backed away from the iron bars. Her back pressed up against the cold stone wall. "Yes. I am." Ariel stated. "Now, enough about myself." She inclined her head. "I am here because of you, Karmina. Your actions have put you in this predicament." "Are you..?" Karmina swallowed back her fear. She knew little about Angels and Demons, aside that they were beings not to be involved with. "If you are here to pass judgement, then..." "Yes." Ariel sa
I can hear her sweet whispers beyond that door. The sweet, honey-dripped words tangled around his mind. They tugged him closer, but he restrained himself. Yet, with each passing day, her siren voice continues to call to him and each passing day he felt himself yearning to go to her. Zalakai's warnings continue to haunt him, but her voice would mute him out. Just how much longer should he torture himself? Nol...There she was again. Calling his name like a long-lost lover. Even now, as he stared at the door, tied down by golden chains, he felt her. Trapped. Vulnerable. Hungry. All he had to do was reach out to it and the door would open from his touch. He and Zalakai were the only ones who had access to her prison. He was trusted with the power to hide her away. But the longer he stood there, the longer he questioned his loyalty. Nol..."You cannot sway me, Witch." Nol retorted, angry with himself at the tremble in his voice. There was a low, soft chuckle from within. Come to me..
What the fuck was that? As the thought crossed her mind, there was a warmth burning into your flesh. She cast her gaze down to her chest, where his mark gave off that golden black glow. It etched deeply into her skin, yet blood was never drawn. Power emanated from it. Pulsing like its own heartbeat. Rayleigh lifted her gaze to Zalakai, who was still beside himself after the orgasm. His Demonic form took over the moment their intimacy began. The little transitions she barely noticed, but the moment his raven black wings sprouted forth, she paid attention to the details. His height. His horns. The red tinted skin. His sharpened fangs. All of him screamed Demon in every sense of the word. Even now, his power overflowed from him and swept over her like a wave. This felt far more powerful than what he gave off previously. The book. Her eyes turned to the book that had flipped closed. Magic had surged through her upon their pact being made. Holy Magic. Something highly dangerous to F
There was a throbbing in her skull when she finally came to. The scent of mildew and moss filled her senses as her eyes fluttered open and took in the unfamiliar surroundings. The cold, damp stone floor is layered with straw, with a pile tucked off into the corner with a thin blanket draped over it. A small wooden bucket sat beside the makeshift bed. Moss painted the grey stone walls. No windows. Bars blocked her in the small space, with the only light given to her were torches positioned in their metal holdings. Trapped like a caged animal. Karmina pushed herself to her feet when she noticed the golden glow of shackles binding her wrists together. She tugged against the restraints, but to no avail. "You are awake." A soft, calm voice drew her attention back to the bars. A figure stepped out from around the corner, adorn in a bluish grey cloak with the hood shadowing her facial features. "Who are you? Where am I?" Karmina questioned angrily. The individual stopped in front of the
Rayleigh ran her fingers along the binds. Zalakai stood beside the desk and just watched her silently. Silence had fallen between them on their walk over to his father's castle, but the atmosphere between them was nothing but electricity. The closer they became, the stronger that connection seemed to grow and deeper confuse him. Aside from that connection, was the infatuation for her. The fire in her heart and soul fueled him like nothing before. He's taken nun's virginities before, and the sheer bliss of breaking the bond between God and their worshipper was out of this world. Yet, this couldn't even compare to that sensation. She turned to face him, her fiery locked framed her lovely face. Rayleigh put herself on guard, but not as heavily as she did when she first awoke here. He couldn't call it trust, but perhaps she was warming up to him little by little. He fought back against his raging hard on in his pants as she walked over to him with nothing but the shirt he gave her. Her t
