Danse Macabre Novels & Stories

After spending the whole day with Zander, going from place to place, getting her hair done, nails done, and finding the perfect outfit, Claudia was finally ready for her date with Sean. She was wearing a cold shoulder black dress that hugged her curves and stopped about an inch from her knees. Her hair was straightened and left to flow down her back like a copper waterfall and her nails were painted crimson and sharpened as well as pointed to look like claws.

Alessia's POV AFTER we entered the courtyard with Stefano we watched Valeria's proud dance. Stefano told me that that dance is Faerie Dance. This dance is not simply danced anywhere because it is only done with every blessing of the moon. This dance is truly beautiful and it is the first time I have seen such a dance.

Dust particles danced in the stagnant air, adding to the sense of foreboding that hung heavy in the atmosphere. My gaze fell upon a long table, covered with a tattered cloth.

The surface of the table was littered with an assortment of macabre tools. Rusty knives, saws, and other instruments of torment glinted ominously under the feeble light.

The forest bore witness to their union, with birds singing a melodious serenade and a gentle breeze rustling the leaves as if applauding their bond.

Alaric had already made it clear that I was his chosen mate, and the pack needed to know where their loyalty lay. I sighed and turned away from the mirror, pacing around the room. The dress I’d chosen for the ceremony was laid out on the bed, a delicate blend of dark blues and silvers that shimmered in the light. It wasn’t something I would have ever picked for myself, but it was exactly what Alaric had suggested, and it felt like the right choice for today.

Camillie and her father took to the dance floor. Abeni felt a knot forming in her stomach as she watched Dmitry from across the room. He was laughing and talking animatedly with another woman, and it was clear that there was more to their interaction than just friendly conversation. The woman was stunning, with long, curly hair and a figure that made Abeni feel self-conscious about her own curvy frame. As they danced together, Abeni couldn't help but wonder if Dmitry still found her beautiful or if he had already moved on.

Poseidon said as he walked into the room with all the other Gods and Goddesses from earlier following behind him "So Gabriella your name is?" Hera asks and I nod timidly Demeter rolled her eyes at Hera before approaching me and placing her thumb on my forehead showing me a glimpse of things I've never seen. I saw this beautiful girl wearing a floral dress with a floral crown and a few people bowed to her, but she quickly told them to get up and then played with some happy children. "I knew you wouldn't have a human mate," she says to Death and I start coughing "Mates?" I questioned and my head went down slightly

She could hear laughter on the other side—bright and light and full of joy. "I can give her that," she said. "I can give her the dance. But I can't promise she won't see through me." "She won't."

He stepped aside, and Zara walked through the door. --- Amara Nwosu was even more beautiful than her photograph.

The air was thick with the smell of tobacco and alcohol, and the sound of raised voices echoed through the used alleyways. As she walked, she noticed a group of men clustered together, their eyes following her every move. She quickened her pace, feeling their eyes sinking into her back. She felt a knot in her stomach, and her heart began to race. She looked around, hoping to find a way out of the dark and scary place, but all she saw were closed shops and empty buildings.
