the seas are alive, and they are raging with monsters, old sport. | based on the voyage of the dawn treader | | BOOK TWO OF THE KING IN DISTRESS DUOLOGY |

Born a forbidden hybrid..half Dragon, half Lycan. Araya Dravén has spent her entire life hiding. Not just her power... but her bloodline. Because Araya isn't the abandoned outcast the world thinks she is. She is the only daughter of Commander General Vealen Dravén, Supreme Commander of the Dragon Armies, second only to the Dragon King himself. His wealth can buy nations, his influence can shift thrones, and his strength is feared across every clan. And for eighteen years, he hid his daughter from a world that would end her for what she is. Until the Academy of Flames and Fangs summons her. Here, strength determines status... power decides survival... and fate chooses your mate. But fate betrays Araya the moment she arrives. Her first fated mate, a rising Lycan prodigy, takes one look at her low-status cover identity and rejects her, unaware that she is the heir to the second-most-powerful Dragon in existence... and the key to a destiny that could elevate him beyond imagination. Her second destined bond is far more perilous: a Dragon prince who sees through the lies she built her life on... and recognizes exactly what she's hiding. Now, caught between rival clans, resurging grudges, and brutal trials, Araya must keep her identity buried while navigating two dangerous destinies and two hearts powerful enough to shatter kingdoms. Enemies want her broken. The Academy wants her controlled. Everyone wants the truth. But Araya didn't come to be claimed. She came to survive. And survival is something she excels at. And somewhere deep in the shadows of this world... something long-buried has begun to awaken. In a world of fire and fangs... she might be the spark that burns the old order to ash.

He made her warm again. Dangerous again. But love between their kind is a death sentence. Under the rising blood moon, can love rewrite fate...or will it destroy them both...

Evie Swan had spent her whole life in Forks. She spent all of her childhood in The Rez. Her life. Her love. Her memories. Then Her sister moves back. Freaking Bella. Embry call x Fem!OC twilight- bd #1 in EmbryCall 11/25

Here I was, convinced that love was something I'd never allow myself to fall into. I truly believed it was a waste of time and energy-an illusion that left people empty. I had seen too many women become love-drunk, so wrapped up in someone else that they forgot who they were. I promised myself I would never be like that. I swore I wouldn't walk the same path my mother did, a path that led straight to self-destruction. But then I saw you. You stood there, glowing with a light so fierce it was almost blinding. You shone so brightly that I swore if I reached out to touch you, I'd burn. And yet, despite the danger, despite every warning I had carved into my heart, I couldn't stay away. Something inside me shifted, cracked open, and suddenly the thought of distance between us felt unbearable.

Amelia Davenport died alone at the bottom of an embankment. Her last phone call was to her husband Matthew, who she had hoped would come rescue her. But Matthew hung up on her. And as he did she heard her own children's disparaging comments. Amelia Davenport had been a cut-throat business lawyer who climbed the ranks of the law firm Hoffman, Givens and Pratt, becoming the youngest Junior Partner in the firm's history. She had also co-authored law textbooks used by high school and college students. When the twins were born, the Davenports insisted Amelia stay home to raise them. So she did. But life didn't quite go the way Amelia planned and she found herself on the periphery more and more, an observer in her own family. Even Amelia had to wonder of her own family, if something were to happen to her, would they be sorry when she's gone?

Nina blinks, hard, wondering if she's finally lost it. She barely sleeps, she barely eats, it would make sense for her to eventually crack and start hallucinating... She opens her eyes again, just in time to see the giant wolf launch itself into the treeline. Her eyes narrow as she notices something in the grass-where the wolf had been now lays a pile of clothes. (There is a one-sided crush on Jake in the beginning, just a warning!) [COMPLETE 04.18.2025] [ECLIPSE / BREAKING DAWN] [PAUL LAHOTE x OC]
