Vampires and hunters are like cats and dogs. They either tolerate each other, or they go for the throat. There isn't supposed to be a third option.
     ⋅⋆⋅
Lailoken is a powerful, ancient vampire with peculiar fog powers. He's just awoken from a long slumber in his beloved woods. He thirsts for an adventure in the modern world and brings chaos everywhere he goes. If not whimsical, then bloody... 

He crosses paths with Josie, a strong, independent woman who isn't intimidated by his fangs. With her as his guide, he's ready for his first road trip of the twenty-first century. While hunters are on their trail looking for a vampire killer on the loose, Lailoken and Josie hide out in shady motels, vampire nightclubs, and blood dens, and their friendship grows into something more.

But charming as he may be, Lailoken is a killer, and Josie has the means to bring him to justice. Trusting her may be his undoing.

Their entangled tale unfolds in a story filled with campy entertainment, romantic tension, and a fresh take on the vampire genre.

A girl, a boy and a set of sharp canines-how do you survive in a world where humans and vampires live together? Nineteen-year-old Maya has too much on her plate. Trying to protect her younger sister. Struggling with crushes on unsuitable guys. Justin is a newly converted vampire, battling to resist the urge to kill and desperately worried about his brother, converted at the same time but AWOL ever since.

[ Winston Academy 1 ] [ Book 1 Of The Blood War Chronicles ] [Description] The wind blow, snow fell heavily as the light of the moon showed the bloody scene that was left in that evil man's wake. Lupine, the small boy coughed as blood spilled out his mouth. His body was littered with cuts, bruises, bites and scratches. Tears ran down the child's face as he cried in the silence of the night, the cold air drying out his throat as he breathed heavily. "Mama?" He cried out. "Mama?" But his voice was too low for the women to hear. He cried still, his blood, sweat and tears soaked into the snow. *** Lupine's strong and brave and can put up a fight, but when a whole bunch of love, secrets and bad blood jump into the mix, can Lupine even put up a fight at this point. Numb to Pain, harmful thoughts in his brain, someday hoping everything change. Lupine doesn't know who or what to blame, but maybe if he waits long enough...will everything change? But sometimes change can be a bad thing, depending on who you ask and who's playing the game. *** 𝑻𝑶𝑷 𝑹𝑨𝑵𝑲𝑰𝑵𝑮𝑺😎 #1 In Academy - FEBRUARY 23 2025 #2 In BxBxB - DECEMBER 9 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 😆 #4 In Supernatural - January 28 2025 #20 In Evil - MAY 16 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 #22 In Blood & Gore - 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐇 𝟐𝟏 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 #17 In Hunters - 𝐀𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐋 𝟐 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 #35 In Trust Issues - 𝐀𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐋 𝟏𝟎 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 #27 In BxBxB - 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐇 𝟐𝟏 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 #10 In Mates - 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐇 𝟑𝟏 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 #32 in Werewolves and Vampires - DEC, 18 2024 #35 in Angel - SEPTEMBER 18 2024 #8 in Academy - SEPTEMBER 24 2024 𝐀/𝐍:𝐈𝐦 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭 𝐦𝐲 𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐬, 𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐲 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 book.

[Completed] ''I was born in flames and chaos. In one moment, I didn't exist at all. In another, air was tearing through the flesh of my lungs.'' Deep in an unknown forest, a young woman woke up alone and confused. She had no knowledge of her past, what she was, or who she was. Why was she in this world at all? Fate drove her into the hands of a family of vampires, all of whom brought relief in the slightest touch of her skin. But their touch was more than addicting. With each stroke, mysterious etches appeared on her flesh, divulging information thought to be lost to the world; information of magic, power, and a viciously murdered coven of witches. With no past and an uncertain future, she must find out her purpose in this life before the supernatural world takes her for all she has to give. Even more so, she must attempt to understand a craving she has for the dangerous vampire family she's found herself enslaved to; a craving to be touched.

The Hunters Saga #2: The Wolfsbane Rubies by RJ_City
28 parts Complete
"DEATH IS QUICKLY CLOSING IN..." "You don't know what control is." I blinked. "Okay, so... I'm stuck with you until I die?" "For all eternity," he nodded, smirking a little. I crossed my arms. "Eternity's a long time, especially for a vampire like yourself. I'm sure you're find someone else." "I doubt that," Henri muttered back softly. His cinnamon scent tickled my nose, openly tempting me, and I wanted so badly to kiss him. To tell him I... loved him. Was that the Mark talking, or was it just me now? Henri moved aside, watching me quietly as I slid into the black leather padded front seat of my new Mustang. I buckled up, ignited the engine, and put the vampire - as well as The Wolfsbane Rubies - far behind me. I felt the Mark rise up with every aching pound of my heart as the distance between us grew, as if he and I really were tied together somehow. It would be hard to stay away. Extremely hard. I felt that vampire with every inch that expanded between us. This bonded thing would be harder than I thought... This is Book 2 of The Hunters Saga!! 1st draft, so there WILL be mistakes! Cover thanks to @AlexandraSinclair1! *Rated PG-13 for thematic elements, peril & angst, rude humor, mild language, occasional innuendo and sensuality, and graphic imagery in some places.

Blood & Honey #1 by TheDyeVault

~A Wattys and Fiction Award winner* A lion does not need an invitation from a lamb. That is not the way of the predator. Predators take what they want, when they want it, however they please. And this belief that I am, that evil is, enslaved by the dark night is humorous to say the least. Why would any creator make their pupil inept of withstanding the lighted world when this planet is covered in daylight for half of its life span? No, our Maker did not instill such restrictions for, up here on these earthly lands, we are the gods of prey. ~ Tristan There is only one rule vampires must follow--Bite Hard. It is forbidden for humans to know vampires exist so you can imagine Tristan Darkos's surprise when he finds one that knows what he is. He can tell by the tremble of her body, the thump-thump of her pulse, and her dilated pupils. He's going to have to finish what some other vampire started. The problem is when Tristan gets close to this human his blood turns to fire and the thirst that burns in his throat that should spell her doom twists until he's consumed by another need--one that is evocative, primitive, and...wrong. If Tristan doesn't figure out the mystery that is Kinley Shea Rylan, it is certain whatever dark force her honey blood is summoning forth will be the end of him and, possibly, the end of the world as we know it. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Author note: - This is an original work with my take on Vampires.
