Belle needed a quiet place to paint. What she got was… The House. Described by her cousin as “quaint” and “full of character,” the old mansion on the isolated farm is anything but. The house smells like something died in it in 1893 and never quite left. The lights don’t work, the clocks don’t agree, and the walls seem to whisper when the storm rolls in. Charming. Cut off from the outside world as the weather turns vicious, Belle is not alone. There’s a man—warm, strong, kind, and very distracting… except for one small problem: She’s not entirely sure he is real. Because this house doesn’t behave. Doors don’t always lead where they should. Time slips. Shadows remember. And sometimes, the past doesn’t just echo—it replays. As old journals, strange dreams, and terrifying moments she can’t explain bring together fragments of history, Belle begins to uncover tragedies that were never meant to be buried. But the house isn’t just remembering. It’s waiting… Funny, haunting, and quietly heartbreaking, The House is a story about love, loss, revenge, and the secrets that refuse to stay buried. This story contains themes of psychological horror, violence, and disturbing imagery. Reader discretion is advised.
Thank you for your interest in The House.

Hester: Very good, was short too the point , not lingering on the abuse, pity you didn’t let him step in earlier knowing the abuse was happening, but this is almost real for some women who have gone through it, just wish they could all have a princess at te end of thete tunnel

lblomme: I always love a story where good overcomes evil. The sad start, the growth, and ultimate strength of the main character was well done. The story never lagged and ultimately delivered a happy ending even for characters who were less than stellar. Well done!

So far, I like this story 😊
Oh wow! I adore mysteries and comedies, so to see the two combined makes me think this will be an amazing read! I'm looking forward to continuing. I just recently joined this website and it's been difficult to find really good writers. Consider me hooked!
Hi Kelia-Rae,
I just finished reading your story Mated to the Ruthless Alpha King and I loved it so much. Your writing is amazing, and I kept thinking how cool it would look as a comic.
I really loved the scene in Chapter 2 when Ivy finds herself face to face with the Alpha King for the first time. The intensity in his presence and how you described her internal conflict and defiance made it such a gripping moment. Also, the way the tension builds in Chapter 4 when Ivy stands her ground despite being surrounded by power it’s ideal for making a comic because their expressions, the energy in the room, and the atmosphere could really shine visually.
I’m a commissioned artist, and I’d love to draw your story into a comic/manga. No pressure though, I just think your work would look awesome in comic form.
You can check out some of my recent work on my DeviantArt (Username - Ev3Verse). If you’re interested, please message me on Discord (Username - Eve_verse) so we can bring the story to life visually. I'll be waiting to hear from you!
