Scene sneakpeak 🥀
Citrus. That’s what I smelt when I placed my face against her neck. Sweet, tangy citrus.
The more I smelt the more I became more aware of my surroundings. I became more aware of who was currently in my arms. My grip tightened on her skirts as I took one last breath of her scent in, growling lowly “Adelola..” I felt her shiver, her head turning to look back at me.
Those eyes. Those beautiful golden big eyes that stared back at me with an emotion I can’t quite place. A small sweet smile graced her face “Yes, Connie?”
And then somehow, I become even more aware. She isn’t mine. She’s Necos’. I clenched my jaw at the realization. She isn’t Constantine’s. She isn’t mine. She belongs to Necos.
“Come back to my room with me, Lola.” The words left my lips before I could stop them. My brain told me to stop, to not go further with this. But the way her eyes shifted into something more intoxicating kept me put.
Her delicate fingers snaked up to my face as she laughed airly. “You want me to go back to your room with you?”
I nodded, my face set in determination “Yes.”
She hummed lightly, tapping my cheek as she went into deep thought. “What about your boss?”
I scowled “My boss?”
Adelola studied my face, a sly grin forming on hers. She leaned forward, leaving a few inches between our faces, her voice dropping to a whisper “Necos, Connie. What about him?”
My scowl deepened. I tightened my grip on her, as if letting her go would have Necos swinging around the corner to snatch her up. “To hell with him.”
I must have said the right thing because the next thing I knew I was being dragged off of the dance floor and towards the entrance of the building. I watched her back as she moved, storing away each away of her hip and the bounciness of her curls in the back of my mind.
She’s mine. She will be. I’ll make sure of it.

Happy STS!
This one is late Oop-
But I do enjoy creating villains! I feel like I can create anything when I do villains, different versions, tropes, personalities… plus I love watch my friends lose their minds of the villains. It’s quite entertaining!
And for the character I put through the most would have to be Valencia. She’s a shapeshifting misunderstood villain who goes by many many names. Honestly whenever I revisit her to refine her some more I feel extremely guilty for what she goes through. Imagine getting ripped from your family, being accused for being a witch and being burned alive, only for the one who ripped you from your family to bring you to their universe and turning into their pawn? Well, that’s watering down what actually happens.
🥀Meet Kotori Todachine
The one and only Kotori! One of the very few true gentlemen characters I have that knows how to treat a woman right and will! As well as my sweet Navajo son!
This beautiful specimen of a man is the 7th legend in the series is more like the gentle giant of the whole series. Someone who can break a tree in half with his bare hands yet is somehow scared of butterflies? Which is understandable. They’re ugly up close.
He’s usually quiet and tends to keep to himself, but though he prefers to do his knightly duties and cook please for the sake of your life and possibly your family’s, DONT challenge him to a fight! Just don’t challenge him to anything. Especially chess. He’ll whoop your butt in every match.
Name: Kotori Todachine
Age: 23
Height: 6’4
Hair color: Black
Eye color: grayish green
P.S. he will give you a free homemade dessert as a token of his love for ya
Yeah enemies to lovers is fun. But what about lovers to enemies? What about crying and screaming and feeling that anguish that your lover left you with, and that desire to hurt them the same way they hurt you but your love for them is too strong?
What about lovers to enemies to lovers?
Love Quote #16 🥀
“Kill him, ya hayati, ya amar. Kill your husband and I’ll show you what it truly feels to be a queen- no, an empress. Especially at night.” ~ Necos to Vashti
Is this a redo? Yes it is. Am I off of hiatus? Not yet.
🥀Meet Constantine Clodian
Constantine is the charismatic and cocky young vampire who thirsts for power and wishes to rule all of Sedra. He is the one who tricks the humans into banding together, knowing their greed for power as well. Of course, he’ll kill them afterwards.
He prides himself in his intelligence, and is always two steps ahead. Until he meets Adelola that is.
I hate and love him.
Age: 22
Height: 6’3
Hair: Pitch black
Eyes: red
🥀 Meet Valencia Houston
Known as the burning owl, Valencia goes by many names. A sadistic, lustful, and greedy woman, Valencia would do anything to get what she wants.
She’s also an amazing actor, always putting on the act of an innocent and naive little girl when in actually she is the very OPPOSITE of that. Her power does not help with her acting at all, as she is able to shape-shift into the human embodiment of the 12 main zodiacs which comes with their own personalities and powers.
Aka. Please watch out for her. If you can.
Age: 20 years of age
Height: 5’6
Hair: main is a bright pink, but varies with each personality
Eye color: main is a lilac color, but varies with each personality
