《The Curious Case of Danielle Parker》thirty five
Advertisement
How do you measure two days when you have no way to tell how much time has passed? No natural light, no clock, no sound even.
Two days. Two days was all I had left.
They were going to kill me. Death wasn't something I'd really spent much time thinking about or coming to terms with. Like most people, I assumed I wouldn't have to worry about it for a long time, or it would be sudden and I wouldn't even realise it was happening.
But to be given a time frame...and then to not be able to even count that down... that was psychologically screwed up.
It could have been minutes, or it could have been hours, but I had gone through so many emotions that I was exhausted to the point of almost giving up. My mind was going too fast, yet I couldn't focus on anything other than the fact that I was going to die.
I could feel delirium creeping up into me. I wondered if I was going legitimately insane. Not that it really mattered. I wouldn't be alive long enough for anyone to even question it.
The spirals that my mind took, the only thing holding me onto the last shred of my sanity was the thought of Levi. My heart broke as I realised I would never see him again. A few weeks and one kiss was all I got. How was that fair.
Then again, I had met my soulmate. How many people can say that with such certainty? I wished we'd been able to have more time, but that was the way it would be.
At least, that's what I was trying to tell myself.
I was actually feeling quite hysterical. That magnetic connection, the buzzing just under my skin, that I had gotten used to feeling had gone. It was like someone had blown out a candle, completely extinguishing the connection between us.

To be honest, thinking of Levi was the only thing that was keeping me sane. I closed my eyes and visualised his face, every inch of skin I could. I remembered how he smelled, how it felt to be held by him... The look in his eyes from the first time we met to now, how his eyes practically bared his soul to me.
He was Levi. And I was probably going to destroy him. I knew that when I died, he wouldn't be able to handle it. I knew that because the mere thought of Levi dying almost broke me. I was so afraid that once he found out I was dead he would just give up, and when these monsters attacked the pack, that he wouldn't fight, he would just let them kill him.
I couldn't even handle thinking about that.
So instead I imagined he was here, touching me. Holding me. Telling me everything was going to be okay.
And then it happened.
It started as a whisper, no louder than a low gust of wind. But it shot through my whole body, like a bolt of electricity.
I sat upright, holding my breath.
And again. This time louder, and stronger.
It came again and again. Faster and for longer.
It was so intense, that I was struggling to stay conscious. I could feel my eyes rolling back in my head, and was about to give in to the intensity when I heard it.
It was Levi.
I could feel Levi in my mind. Everything I had been missing, the cut off connections, suddenly snapped back around me, tugging me forward. I gasped, my body filling with warmth.
Then as if he was sitting right next to me, I heard Levi's voice.
Danielle, don't panic. Stay with me.

The Demon’s Bride
Elise had about to change into the dress that was lying on the corner of her bed when she heard a knock lightly calling from her door. Curious, she turned the door knob only to have a tall man towering in front of her.«Master Ian!» She called.Ian smiled with the usual mischievous smirk that he always used. His crimson eyes trailing a little over her room and spotted the black dress over her bed and shifted his eyes over to the woman in front of him. He stepped forward and spoke. «Where did you acquire that dress?»«Mr. Harland gave it to me.» Elise replied and strained her neck to see Ian’s brows knitted in its elegance.«Do you know why a man would love to give a woman a dress?» He gave the riddle that she always had to think twice before replying. But this time, she found no answer and instead shook her head. «I don’t know.»His grin grew bewitching as though something had stirred deep inside the scarlet eyes that he had. He slowly slid his hand over the collar of her dress, sending a cold shiver that startled her for a moment due to its freezing temperature. After unbuttoning the first two buttons on her collar, he tilted his head down, whispering to her ears. «Because they want to be the one to undress the cloth.»He paused and kissed her neck, turning the pale skin to red before retracting his move to fix his eyes on her and leisurely replied. «Unfortunately, you can’t wear the dress over there with this.» He chuckled and passed a box over to her hand. «And the fortunate news is I prepared a dress for you.»

The Stormcrow Cycle
Once a powerful and lauded witch, Ba'an salu-Ba'an now lives alone in a cave in the desert, waiting to die. When she rescues an outlander from certain death she becomes embroiled in a deadly game of politics and empire, of heart and soul, but worst of all--of hope and love and a chance at a peaceful future. Can a disgraced witch find a reason to live her life again--and if so, what price must she pay? The Stormcrow Cycle is a trilogy comprising of The Exile, The Lion, and Abomination. Tags or genres for each book: The Exile: romance, slice-of-life The Lion: romance, slice-of-life, politics Abomination: tragedy, high/epic fantasy (aka "Everything is on fire!") Updates once a week whenever I have time. Cross-posted on Wattpad and Scribble Hub. The CBMokedi cover will return! Excerpt: She looked down at him again. Young. Healthy, from what she could see, except for the wound that was killing him. He was handsome in a way that suggested a life of wealth and plenty. She did not think he had ever starved. Someone important. Her shadow fell across him, and he frowned. Blearily, he opened his eyes. They were amber and bright, even as he lay dying in the dirt. She could feel his soul, blazing inside of him like a fire refusing to die even as his body began to fail. He met her gaze, eyes widening in what she guessed was surprise—or shock. But he never looked away, staring up at her as though transfixed. Ba’an made her decision. She raised her hand and covered his eyes. In another moment, a murder of crows cawed as they took wing. The man and woman were gone from the road, leaving only the dead staring up into the sky. Note: This is a high-fantasy set in a low-magic world. The first book is largely character-driven and we really only hit the real plot in Book II, so if you're not fond of long epic yarns you ought to skip this one. I also don't include trigger warnings, but mind the "traumatizing content" tag--all societies minus one practice slavery and the world is indeed, rather grim!
