(18+ | WIP/Unedited) Wren spent years pretending to be human, suppressing the shadow-born power in her veins. But when she's forced back into a world that sees half-demons like her as nothing more than weapons, survival means embracing the darkness she once feared. Bound to her handler, Kota, and the alluring incubus Alexander, Wren is caught in a deadly game of power, secrets, and control. If she wants to take back her fate, she'll have to stop running from the monster inside her-before someone else wields it against her.

❝Two dragons and their dirty little plaything.❞ I didn't have much before the war. Just a name, a half-broken past, and kraken scars that burn every time I breathe. The war didn't break me-it just left marks that never healed. Now, I scrape by in the Banished Realm doing what I must to survive-petty crimes, quiet getaways, keeping my head low and my secrets buried. It's barely enough. Until desperation pushes me into a mission I can't afford to refuse. One risky job. One promised payout. One brutal trap I never saw coming. Framed for a crime I didn't commit, I'm dragged into the dungeons of the Banished Kings. A mated pair-ancient, ruthless, and sinfully beautiful. They claim they want answers. But the way they circle me, the way their eyes linger on my scars and the fire beneath my skin... it's not just the truth they crave. I have a secret they can never uncover. Because if they do, they won't destroy me. They'll devour me-mind, body, and soul. And I don't know if I'll beg them to stop... or to never stop at all.

"Warrior, Fallen Princess, Survivor. A war looms and she must fight not only for her kingdom but for her very soul" After years of exile Khali Virella the dark princess once bound by duty and blood, is summoned back to her homeland Vallisk. Whispers of war spread like wildfire, beasts of shadow and bone creep across the land, and an ancient enemy long thought vanquished stirs once more. Khali has no intention of bending to her family's will, not when grief still consumes her but duty binds her to a grim task: training the next generation of rulers to fight. However, her most difficult task is to work alongside Elias Rurik. Their past is steeped in blood, and his presence ignites a storm of fury within her. With kingdoms on the edge of destruction, Khali discovers something far worse than ancient horrors-a truth that threatens to break the chains she has formed around her heart. Khali must navigate a court of vipers, uncover the truth about her past. But as darkness rises, one truth becomes clear: the greatest threat is not the creatures of the past, but the secrets buried within her heart.

Book Two of the Stormbound Saga Khali is gone. Ripped from the world in a flash of shadow and blood, the warrior the realm learned to fear-and follow-has vanished. And in her absence, everything begins to fracture. Vallisk is unraveling. Creatures of nightmare stalk the streets. The nobles turn on one another. And the soldiers Khali trained now fight to survive a war without their commander. Elias is losing control. With the fire in his blood barely contained and the bond between them weakening by the day, he will scorch every corner of the realm to bring her home. But as the veil thins and the echoes of old magic stir, he begins to question whether there's anything left to save. The deeper he digs into the mystery of the veil, the more dangerous truths he uncovers-about Khali. They were meant to face this together. But she was taken. And now, the storm sleeps in silence while the world begins to burn.

In a world dominated by werewolves, Odette leads a simple, human life until what was supposed to be the best day of her life, her wedding day, takes a nightmarish turn. Luca, a powerful world-leader and Alpha, claims her as his mate, which forces her into a desperate fight for her freedom. Now on the run, Odette encounters challenges that will test her wit and strength. Will she surrender to the relentless pursuit, or fight back? ~~~ I round the corner to see a group of freakishly-tall and handsome men. There were three men in the group, one instantly stood out to me even with his back toward me. He had deep black hair and I could tell strong lean muscles were hidden beneath his button-up shirt. I falter in my steps a bit, something in my mind telling me to go another way, to ask someone else for help with directions. But I keep walking closer. Something else within me tells me it will be okay. As I get closer, the two men who were facing my direction look towards me and I stop, keeping a safe distance. Hopefully they are able to help me, and not turn me away just because I'm a human. "Hi, um, could you tell me where the front desk is?" The man whose back was facing towards me stiffened. "I think I'm a little..." The man turned toward me so quickly it made my heartbeat waver. His deep blue eyes pierced into my brown ones and called out to me. His jawline was chiseled to perfection, lips parted slightly in awe. Every feature of his face was meticulously handcrafted by God. I never thought I could find a wolf so elegant. He was...beautiful. Something in the air shifted. I could feel it in my bones. "...lost," I finished my sentence after a brief pause. No one answered me. Did I say something wrong? I look between the three of them and see that the two men behind the man who was staring so intently at me were looking between me and him. "Mate."

Before she was the hunted, she was the heir. Aria was born with a crown on her head and a cage around her ribs. As the daughter of the Serpent House, her life was a blueprint of bloodlines and duty: Secure Nexus mates from within the House. Awaken the Gift buried in her bones. Preserve the legacy at any cost. But Aria was never made to follow. And fate doesn't care for tradition. Her heart already belonged to the one man she was forbidden to love - her brother's best friend. And when her Gift finally stirred, it wasn't the weapon her family had waited for. It was quiet. Unexpected. A power they barely acknowledged - and one she was never meant to wield. Torn between the life she was born into and the power awakening inside her, Aria makes a single, irreversible choice. One that fractures her family, shatters her destiny, and lights a fuse beneath everything she thought she understood. Rebellion is no longer a rumor. Enemies wear familiar faces. And the most dangerous secrets are the ones written in her own blood. This is not a love story. It's the story of what love ruins - and what rises from the wreckage. _______ What to Expect: Unbound - The Awakening is a why-choose prequel: Aria's heart won't be claimed by just one. 🔥 Smut? Yes - but not right away. This one burns slow and deep. 🖤 Expect tension, heartbreak, soft touches, sharp edges, and impossible choices. ⚠️ Not all of her Nexus mates appear in this book. But the storm begins here.
