The rain was coming down in sheets, drenching everything in sight. The small town of hallow grove seemed almost deserted on this wet and dreary day. The normally bustling streets were quieter than usual, the few brave souls braving the elements had their heads down and hoods pulled tight over their heads.
The shops and cafes that usually provided a haven of warmth and refuge were mostly closed, their proprietors probably enjoying the rare break from the constant hustle and bustle of the town.In one of the few open storefronts, a quaint little bookshop nestled between a florist and a bakery, a small group of people huddled together for warmth and company. The cozy shop was filled with hushed whispers and the sound of rain pattering against the window panes.The shelves were lined with books of every genre, from romance to sci-fi, all illuminated by the warm glow of the store's many lamps. The air was thick with the aroma of coffee and freshly baked bread from the bakery next door.In a corner by the window, a young lady sat reading a book, oblivious to the world around her. She had a cup of coffee in one hand and a blanket draped over her legs, a perfect picture of peace and serenity. A group of friends sat around a small table in the center of the store, chatting and laughing as they played a board game. An older couple sat in the armchairs by the fireplace, holding hands and gazing contentedly into the flames."Fuck this rain isn't going to stop anytime huh?," Sitting across her, a young man with short brown hair groaned with a sigh. He had been trapped in this bookshop for the past two hours. He had beautiful brown eyes and a feminine look complemented by his full red lips.He lifted his gaze to the lady lured and captivated by the book in her arms. The girl has luscious black hair that falls in soft waves around her face, framing her delicate features. Her striking green eyes are framed by a pair of stylish round glasses that complement her confident and intellectual vibe.Her skin is porcelain smooth, and she exuded a quiet elegance that draws others towards her, radiating grace and sophistication."Did they make out yet Alexa?," He asked to which she replied"Not yet Ethan, but I'm getting to the good part, now shut up, quit whining like a baby, and let me read in peace," She lifted her gaze for a second to throw a mockery glare.Alexandra, twenty years old, an aspiring journalist was the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver, the owner of the bookshop where she worked part-time as the store manager and the brown-haired man, Ethan as her assistant."You know, you could pick up a book to pass the time, instead of flirting with every girl that walks into the store," She said raising a brow"Hey it isn't my fault I'm too pretty and the ladies can't seem to stay away," He boasted with a smirk earning an eye roll from Alexa."What the hell," He got up from his seat and moved towards the windows with a frown on his face, "Seems like we have got visitors,""Neighbors?," She asked putting down the book. Hallow Groove rarely had any visitors, it was a small town on the outskirts of the city."I think outsiders," He said while the people inside the shop moved towards the window to get a better view of the outsiders.In the darkness of the rainy night, two cars emerge from the fog on a desolate highway. One at top speed in comparison to the other. The tires of the cars screech as they come to a sudden stop outside Mr. Oliver's bookshop.The drivers of the cars step out into the pitter-patter of the rain, pulling their jackets close around their bodies. They had a tall and well-masculine build as the ladies in the shop twirled in anticipation. They could tell the men were hotties judging from their build and how sophisticated they looked.One of the cars was a sleek black sports car, illuminated by its haunting headlights and the other was a muddy pickup truck.As the rain poured down on the quaint cobbled street, two stunningly beautiful men strolled towards the cozy little bookshop. The rain seemed not to concern them in the least, as they laughed and chatted nonchalantly as they made their way through the entrance.There was an ear-deafening silence as they stepped into the shop. Their beauty was breathtaking, and the people they passed on their seats couldn't help but stop and stare as they walked by. Each man possessed an otherworldly grace, and their chemistry together was electric.One of the men, who had more sex appeal than the other, walked with his head held high and his piercing blue eyes locked forward with a confident smirk on his face. His dark hair was perfectly styled and his chiselled jawline was the envy of many. As he passed by, bystanders couldn't help but turn their heads, their gazes following him as he walked in slow strides.His leather jacket hugged his broad shoulders and muscular frame, and the way it hung just right made him appear even more rugged and handsome. Every step he took seemed to have a certain pleasing cadence to it as if he moved with a calm, natural grace.The other, wore a bored look on his face as his long blonde hair tumbled over his shoulders elegantly, he had the look of a prince one would read in a romantic novel as his strange golden irises scanned through the room and his black coat fluttered against the wind."Oh my God what a fucking hottie!" One of the girls present said getting aroused just by staring at the gorgeous strangers. It was as though fate had sent a hot feast for the girls in this town. unknown to them fate had other plans, a sadistic one filled with death and choas.In the shop, giggling girls huddled together as they pointedly ogled the hot strangers who shared some resemblance, with a closer look one could tell they were brothers, with the dark-haired gorgeous devil being the elder. Their eyes were fixated on them as they sauntered through the room,"Hello, ladies," The dark-haired man whispered while the girls hung on every word he said, his voice was like velvet, and even the way he breathed seemed attractive. His voice was like an instrument for sex as he swayed his hips seductively with each movement.As he passed their table, the girls went into a frenzy of whispers, nudging each other excitedly. With every move he made, the girls couldn't help but stare in astonishment. They giggled and gossiped about him, taking turns describing every detail of his flawless appearance.Sighting the boys a middle-aged bald man walked towards them. He wore a uniform that singled him out from the rest of the crowd."Excuse me, fellas, what brings you to town," He had a Southern accent as he placed his hands on his hips. A gun was strapped to his belt as he watched the boys with his piercing blue eyes. He couldn't help but grow suspicious of the boys after all what could two extremely good-looking men possibly want in a little town like hallow grove?"I take it you're the sheriff," The dark-haired man spoke with a gorgeous grin as though trying to seduce the middle-aged man."God damn!' The sheriff couldn't help but admire his beauty which seemed straight out of a woman's wildest wet dream. Was he even human?, he thought"Yes, I am," He replied"It's a pleasure to meet you, please call me Lucifer, and this ever-brooding figure next to me is my brother, Lucian," He said earning a furrowed brow from the sheriff and some of the adults, including Alexa In the bookshop."Lucifer?, like the devil?,""Yes, I mean even the ladies can't deny I'm such a handsome devil that burn like hell,"The girls continued to gush over him, giddy and restless. They stumbled over their words and found themselves laughing nervously, but they couldn't help it, it was like they were under a spell. The devil's spell. Lucifer's spell.Alexandria's brows knitted together in annoyance at his attitude. Everything about him reeked of arrogance. His smug smirk, his seductive eyes, and his sensual voice irritated her like a finger running across a chalkboard. However she couldn't deny writing about these two attractive strangers in the middle of a God forsaken town would make for a good article."What are you doing?," She gripped Ethan's wrist, stopping him from walking toward them, "Let your father handle this,""Tsk..they fucking piss me off, boys like these only mean trouble, our town would be better off without these fucking clowns," Lucifer's arrogant attitude toward his father, Sheriff Byod pissed him beyond words. He would love nothing more than to bury his fist into his pretty mouth."Last I remember your father was sheriff which means he gets to decide not you, now sit your ass back down," She glared at him like a mother scolding her child"What the...whose side are you on?,""Yours, now sit," He said while Etha
The tranquil rays of sunshine woke the world from its slumber, The sky was a dusky shade of blue, with a few hints of orange and pink peeking through the clouds. The air is crisp and fresh, carrying the scent of dew and the promise of a new day. Birds chirp melodiously, adding to the peaceful ambiance.The horizon was painted with a golden hue as if beckoning the world to come and embrace another day. It is a moment of stillness before the hustle and bustle of daily life begin, making it a perfect time for contemplation and reflection.However, today was unlike any other day at Hallow Groove, four dead bodies had been found by the roadside by early morning hikers. One of which had rushed to the sheriff's station to report the murder."What the fuck could have done this?," Deputy Sheriff Tommy said with a frown. It was a horrendous sight. bones and flesh scattered around the road as vultures feasted on the corpses. The bystanders wore a grave expressions as their gaze held terror, fea
Hours before dawnFour teenagers camped in the heart of the forest at midnight. The stars shone above them, the small flames of their campfire illuminating their faces. "Okay you are up next," A girl with Viking blonde hair and blue eyes said with a seductive smile at the boy besides her. He wore gothic rings and had a cigarette settled between his cherry lips. He was the personification of the term, bad boy."Dare!" He spoke confidently earning a grin of mischief from the boy and girl seated opposite them."Okay," She hummed biting her lips, "I dare you to kiss me," "Your wish is my command princess," Said the bad boy with a drooling grin plastered on his face as he gently cupped her face with his hands, his thumbs caressing her cheeks as he leaned in to kiss her. She closed her eyes, her breathing quickening in anticipation, and then his lips met hers."Ooo!' The two teenagers with them goggled and broke out a hearty laughter.His kiss was soft at first which soon deepened, their
As the morning sun began to warm the forest floor, Alexandra and Tommy walked through the dirt path that wound its way up the hill. The leaves crunched beneath their feet as they took her first steps upward, the dew still clinging to the blades of grass, glistening in the golden light.The trees stretched up around her, their branches reaching towards the sky like fingers desperate to touch the heavens. The air was cool and refreshing, each breath she took filling her lungs with the crisp scent of pine.As she walked, her gaze flickered across the forest floor, taking in the little details that made this place so magical. The tendrils of ivy clung to the trunks of the trees like sleeping serpents, the tiny mushrooms dotted the ground like polka dots, and the occasional flutter of a butterfly's wings as it danced around her, carefree and joyful.Ava felt her heart's pace quicken with each step she took as they arrived at the brother's house.Nestled amongst a grove of tall trees, the b
"Are you alright?," Tommy asked Lucifer who adverted his gaze from Alexa. His usual taunting smirk settled on his perfect face."Just peachy," He told, "What can I help you with Mr?""Tommy, just Tommy, I'm the deputy sheriff of this town," "Oh my, what brings the deputy sheriff of this fine town to my humble home?," He asked, his gaze however was locked on the girl next to him. She seemed like his polar opposite yet captivating. Her fierce and bold attitude was incredibly appealing. She had lips and a body to die for. Fuck why didn't he notice until now?"Well there's no easy way to say this," Tommy held his breath before adding, "Four teenagers were found dead this morning," His report earned him a gasp from Lucifer"Dead?, oh my that is so horrible," His exaggeration and his fake concern irked Alexa as her voice twitched in annoyance. Was he a psychopath?, she thought with a frown"Hey show some empathy, fucking psycho," "Ahem!, let me handle this," Tommy nudged her across the sh
"Well Lucian, this large pile of muscle here is the deputy sheriff for this God-forsaken town, Tommy, and the gorgeous beauty with a sharp tongue over here is Alexandra," Lucifer told with a smirk earning an eye roll from Alexandra who couldn't keep her gaze on him for too long. He was only covered by the white towel which made concentrating on his beautiful face difficult."Alexandra, Tommy, it's a pleasure to meet you," Lucian said in a tired voice crossing his leg over the other "Pleasure is all mine," Alexa said with a forced smile, "We have a few questions,""Please go ahead," He expressed unable to tear his gaze from her. There was something about her that caught his attention. He couldn't quite put a finger on it. Was it her beauty?, or perhaps her bold and fierce attitude?He was consumed by different emotions, desire, lust, and empathy, emotions he had long forgotten, drenched in the horrors of his cursed fate and past. What is this emotion?, he thought unable to tear his ga
"What is it Lucifer?, you're unusually quiet," Lucian inquired. The dark-haired man stood in the corner of the room, arms crossed and scowling as he watched his brother and his mate laughing and chatting together. He couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy deep in his chest, it seemed like Lucian captivated Alexa's attention, while he was left out in the cold.How strange, he thought to himself. He was funnier, and better looking than his brother, so why was she interested in him instead?, why would she choose the ever-quiet brooding, self loathing man who preferred to keep to himself?At this point he wished she was Lycan, so he wouldn't only be one affected by the mate bond and make his job much easier.He tried to mask his jealousy in silence but no matter how hard he tried to hide his jealousy, it was clear as day on his face. His eyes were narrowed and his jaw was clenched, and anyone who came near him could feel the tense energy radiating off of him."Does she amuse you Lucian
The town was rowdy and distraught, as the news of the murder of four teenagers spread like wildfire among the folks of hallow grove. It had been hours since the death of the four teenagers that had shattered the peace of this normally sleepy town. Their deaths had left the community devastated.The once-bustling streets were now void of life, the shops and stores all shuttered. The few people who did venture outside moved quickly, their faces set in grim determination as they went about their business. The sense of sadness was palpable, the grief for lost sons, brothers, and friends weighing heavily in the air.In the town square, there was a makeshift memorial set up for the four teenagers, Adrain, Clara, Ellis, and Ella. A sea of flowers, balloons, and candles adorned the base of a large statue. The names of the deceased were inscribed on a plaque at the foot of the statue- a reminder of the tragedy that had befallen this small town. A somber group of mourners stood around the memo
