Katora's beauty has often given her what she wanted. For once, it has given her what she didn't want: a fiancée. Chosen to marry Nicholai Beaumont, the vampire king of the neighboring nation, in a form of peace treaty, Katora seeks to end the unwanted engagement dreaded by both parties by being the most fearsome and repulsive human Nicholai has ever met. When Katora's bad influence affects the peaceful king, he turns not so peaceful and struggles to control his murderous streak for the sake of the humans he has swore to protect. (Note: this is only the first draft of an ongoing story so there will most likely be details that will change, things to edit, and grammar and spelling mistakes either through the course of me writing or even after. If you notice any mistakes or things that are not clear I will most likely fix them in the future but feel free to point them out to me! -Zee)

Alice isn't like the rest. She's a werewolf, same as them all. But she's weak. An outcast; a runt in the Lilac Falls pack. She's been living with the blame for a murder she didn't commit for years, and she's so tired. Of being abused, bullied, beaten and broken, scarred, discarded, and most off all forgotten all her life by all the people she should have mattered to the most. So when she is rejected by her mate and runs away, taken for dead, she knows she'll never see any of them again. She's a rouge now, dangerous as they come and with a reputation known by wolves across the States. Life has hardened her into something else entirely. When she is reunited with the daemons of her past, bad things are going to happen. Very bad things.

It's the 24th Century, and the world is getting smaller. Alonso Creed is being trained to inherit a position in government which will set him up to be hated and live in isolation for the rest of his life. But he is considered by everyone else as one of the lucky ones. After discovering a secret that threatens the moral code and law he's known for sixteen years, Alonso must choose between his future, and a family who despise him. All the while, the rest of the country try to uncover why third born children keep disappearing, and what Alonso's father is hiding from everyone...even his own son. Everyone has secrets in an age where everything is monitored, some are just better at adapting to it. ~~Just to say - this is the shorter first draft and I won't be posting my revised edition until I'm 80 and finally give up on ever being published haha! This version is quite different to the one I'm currently working on so please excuse the terrible pacing etc though feel free to point anything out you don't like! :P ~~ Wonderful cover by EurekaEureka!!

Luster Chapter .10--- The Meaning Chapter .20--- The Truth Chapter .30--- The Measure Chapter .40--- The Message Chapter .50--- The Fraud Chapter .60--- The System Chapter .70--- The Goodness Chapter .80--- The Tears Chapter .90--- The Power Chapter .99--- The Luster Summary: What is Luster? Is it connected with Laughter? Love? Life? Are we clearly seeing these things? Hugh Ink, a newly graduated philosopher, witnessed for the first time in his life a pair of annihilation before him. He escaped the massacre yet as he left, the final words of the killer echoed in his head, “I am now happy.” He was digging hard his head on how that man could say such this after shooting the head of his own daughter when his phone shone a lustrous reminder of an incoming call. It was all about a congregation for philosophers, inviting him and his friend, Cornelius to join their group. He aimed for knowledge. He aimed for truth. He accepted yet what could prevail then, truth… or merely answers. I would like to thank Rent for inspiring me to create this story.
