Owl House Au

After years of running from her past, Lissa returns to the one place she never wanted to see again—her childhood home. The town hasn’t changed, but Lissa has. Now a mother, a wife, and a survivor, she’s trying to rebuild a life while standing on the crumbling foundation of her trauma. Just a few months. Just until she finds her footing. But the house doesn’t let go so easily. It smells of mildew and memory. Dust covers more than furniture—it coats every secret Lissa tried to bury. As she navigates motherhood, old friendships, and a strained relationship with her sister, Lissa discovers more than ghosts in the attic. A photograph violently scribbled out. A letter from someone she hoped was lost to time. And a journal that brings her back to the girl she used to be. Her husband, Colt, tries to be her anchor. Her son, Lucas, is her reason to fight. But a single name—just one letter, T—is all it takes to fracture her resolve. The past isn’t dead. It’s waiting in the basement. In a letter tucked behind old receipts. In the quiet corners of her memory where no one else can go. As the days pass, the house begins to feel like a trap.Lissa must decide if she’s strong enough to dig through the wreckage of her past… or if some secrets are better left buried. Told with raw emotion and atmospheric suspense, House of Quiet Screams is a story of trauma, resilience, and the silent strength it takes to confront what once felt un faceable. For Lissa, surviving was never the end of the story—facing what comes after might be the beginning.

Résumé , Dans les rues étouffantes d’une ville où le crime est roi, Lilith, une mafieuse impitoyable, règne sur son empire avec une violence qui glace le sang. Chaque décision est calculée, chaque trahison punie sans pitié. Mais derrière son regard de fer, se cache une soif insatiable de pouvoir… et un désir qu’elle refuse d’admettre. Elle attire l’attention de Azazel, un démon exilé du monde des enfers, condamné à errer sur Terre. Fasciné par la brutalité et l’audace de Lilith, mais aussi par son humanité déchirée, Azazel lui propose un pacte : en échange de son âme, il lui offrira un pouvoir capable d’écraser tous ses ennemis et de faire d’elle la maîtresse incontestée de la ville. Entre la manipulation et la séduction, leur relation devient un jeu dangereux. Lilith découvre que le démon n’est pas seulement une force destructrice, mais qu’il porte lui aussi ses propres blessures et ambitions. Ensemble, ils plongent dans un monde où la frontière entre le bien et le mal s’efface, où chaque alliance est une trahison potentielle, et où le pouvoir peut coûter bien plus que la vie. Mais à quel moment le pacte cessera-t-il d’être un simple accord, et quand le démon et la mafieuse cesseront-ils d’être alliés pour devenir ennemis ? Dans cette danse mortelle de sang et de flammes, seul l’ombre de la trahison semble certaine.

He drew her close to himself and at that moment, she could swear her heart stopped. She looked into his mesmerizing blue eyes as she watched his hands run through her skin slowly. Karen never knew love could be this addictive.

When my four sons were finally old enough for preschool, I arrived at the school office with my marriage certificate and their birth certificates, ready to sign them up. But the lady at the counter frowned and said, "These documents don't check out. According to the system, your kids don't even exist." I felt as if the floor had dropped out from under me. I remembered when Sheldon Clem and I got married—he was the one who handled all the paperwork, the birth registrations, everything. I never imagined that when I tracked him down with our four boys, he'd be holding his childhood sweetheart in his arms, with her little girl snuggled against him. And then we heard him sweet-talking her right in front of us. "Don't be mad, babe. I've got everything set up for us overseas. Gigi is going to the most expensive private school, and you'll be living in the nicest penthouse downtown. "Sure, she gave me four sons, but all my love and money are with you. I only kept her around because I felt sorry for her. "What else do you need? My will's already signed. Everything goes to you and Gigi." Riley Anderson pouted, smug and satisfied. "If you don't love her, then she's the other woman, not me. She's got no right to fight me for anything!" So he never went bankrupt. When we got back home, Sheldon acted as if nothing had happened. "Honey, I've found this amazing project overseas, so I won't have time to come home much. I'll need you to hold down the fort at home." I smiled and nodded. "Sure, go ahead." If that was how he wanted to play this, then fine. I'd make sure he really went broke, and then I'd find my boys a new father.

"Brother, please spare my life!" Sera cried out. She kneeled and bowed down to show sincerity but her brother's eyes did not show any emotion. "There is no mercy for traitors, Sera. That's the family motto, remember?" Xander's voice was stern and filled with contempt. "I didn't do it! I don't even know what the Duchess looked like!" She was desperate but none of her family members even tried to listen to her. "We shouldn't have accepted you. The prophecy was true when it said that you will only bring tragedy to this family!" Her father's voice was filled with rage. All her life, all she asked was to be acknowledged. All she wanted was to feel the warmth of a family. Was it too much to ask for? "I wish I was never born," she mumbled. "Prepare to die, Seraphina. This is the punishment for taking my mother's life." Xander lifted his sword and drops of blood splattered when the blade cut through Sera's head. "Sera!" Seraphina jolted when she heard her mother's voice. Her eyes grew wide when she saw the familiar small room and she immediately touched her neck to confirm that her head was not severed. What happened? Why am I back to my ten-year-old self?

His hand slid down, under my shorts, finding me wet. He groaned, “Fuck, Bella…” He slides two fingers inside me, fucking me slowly, his thumb rubbing my clit. I whimpered. He kissed me quiet. “You're so wet,” he whispered. “Are you thinking about Noah? Or me?” “Both,” I admitted. He growled low in his throat, dropped to his knees, pulled my shots down, and spread my thighs. His mouth found my pussy. I cried out, running my hands through his hair. He licked long slow strokes, then sucked my clit. Fingers still pumping inside me. ## House Of Forbidden Desire mixes wild adventure with very intense, forbidden desire. It’s not just another drama.

La nuit où mes beaux-parents ont été enlevés, mon mari fêtait la Saint-Valentin avec son premier amour. Je ne l'ai pas empêché. J'ai simplement alerté immédiatement le Bureau d'Intervention des Loups-Garous pour qu'ils interviennent. Dans ma vie précédente, il est allé sauver ses parents parce que je l'avais retenu, manquant ainsi son rendez-vous avec son premier amour. Plus tard, celle-ci a été attaquée dans la montagne par des rogues qui lui ont arraché le cœur. Elle est morte dans une scène d'horreur indescriptible. Après ça, mon mari n'a plus dit un mot. Jusqu'à ce que je tombe enceinte et sois sur le point d'accoucher : c'est à ce moment-là qu'il m'a abandonnée dans les montagnes sauvages. « Lila, si ce n'était pas à cause de toi, Chloé ne serait pas morte ! » « Qu'est-ce qui te donne le droit de vivre en paix ? Je veux te voir souffrir autant qu'elle a souffert ! » Dévorée par la meute, j'ai péri, emportant avec moi l'enfant que je portais. Et quand j'ai à nouveaux ouvert les yeux, j'étais revenue à cette même journée où mes beaux-parents avaient été enlevés. Cette fois, il n'a pas participé au sauvetage. Il a passé la soirée avec son premier amour, comme il l'avait toujours souhaité... Mais à l'aube, ses cheveux ont blanchi d'un coup.

Ma vie ne m'a jamais appartenu. À dix-huit ans, mon père me vend au Roi Alpha, un homme craint pour sa brutalité et admiré pour son pouvoir. Plongée dans un monde régi par sa volonté de fer, je me résigne à n'être qu'une esclave dans son manoir. Wayne Temple incarne tout ce que je déteste : froid, impitoyable, arrogant et totalement inaccessible. Pourtant, chaque fois qu'il est près de moi, mon cœur traître s'emballe et je n'arrive pas à me décider : dois-je fuir… ou me jeter dans ses bras ? Est-ce là mon destin ? Servir un homme qui ne me considère que comme sa propriété ? Ou bien y a-t-il quelque chose de plus profond derrière ce regard glacial ? Peut-être que je me fais des idées. Fuir est peut-être la meilleure solution, surtout quand je découvre que je porte l'enfant de l'homme le plus haï de la communauté.
