For years, humanity lived in peace... unaware that their nightmares were being contained in the shadows. Elite Agents known as Hollows kept the world safe, sealing away dangerous anomalies called Echos. And for a time... it worked. Until the day it didn't. Containment vaults across the globe fail without warning. Echos flood into reality, turning the world into chaos. Hikari Amane and Captain are among the first to respond, but quickly realize the truth: this is no longer a battle they can contain. With no options left, they risk everything on an ancient Artifact... tearing open a portal to another world. A world where power is awakened from within... and forged by one's purpose. Now, armed with abilities beyond human limits, they must face the growing Echo outbreak... and uncover the truth behind it before it's too late. Because this wasn't just an accident. The war between the Hollows and Echos... has only just begun.

After the sudden and tragic loss of their zeze, Thorne's world changes in more ways than they could imagine. Holding a bitter distaste in their heart, they are less than willing to accept their new family. But once they connect and ally with an estranged cousin, their view of the family changes. Perhaps, this is where they can stand up. And perhaps the family's strict and traditional lifestyle can lighten up, and acceptance can shine.

Stella Davis was raised in the Order: a vampire hunting organization. Her whole life was hunting and killing vampires. Her whole future was hunting and killing vampires. Those were the cards she was dealt, but she wasn't prepared for her hand to be abruptly changed. Turned into the very thing she'd been raised to hate, now a vampire, Stella navigates her new reality by maintaining its secret. Her new station at the infamous, supernaturally known Willowbrook University, conveniently nearby where whispers of a cure led, she had a plan. She'd track the man down who supposedly had the cure, become human again, and no one would ever have to know. Easy. Until Rhys St. James showed up in her life and rattled her. Arrogant, annoying, and a vampire. No one could know what she was, but with their agendas somewhat lining up, she'd make an exception for him.

When a spiritual young vixen loses her family, she employs her skeptical coyote neighbor to help her find them.

A Stolen Throne. A Shattered Kingdom. A Reckoning Begins. In the twilight years of the First Age, Mag'Morin was forged in alliance, a beacon of hope amidst ancient hatreds. But now, darkness stirs anew. When King Heinrich falls to treachery, and Queen Eldoria vanishes, Prince Beijor is branded a traitor.

With the steadfast Sira and the resourceful Liyana by his side, he embarks on a perilous journey, seeking allies against a rising tide of corruption. But Sylas, the twisted Fae Prince, has claimed the throne, and a monstrous force twists the very heart of the kingdom. As ancient prophecies collide with brutal realities, Beijor must embrace his destiny, not as a weapon, but as a leader. Can he rally a broken land against the encroaching shadows, or will Mag'Morin fall to darkness, consumed by the sins of its past? Dive into a world of mythical creatures, political intrigue, and heart-wrenching choices, where the line between hero and monster blurs with every turn of the page.

"Her allure captivates his heart; he has now become hers. His soul now blends with the false claims she had made to fool him. It is her destiny and his end. The darkness envelopes her heart in that moment. Harvesting the most depraved of thoughts and feasting on them to survive. " Dawn has always felt as if evil is hunting her. It burns her heart with a desire for something darker, while her mind only causes her fear. It whispers sins into her ear, while she tries to ignore the hunger for knowledge. A succubus curse has run through her bloodline, yet it suddenly feels as if it is more ancient than she expected when pieces of information attack her when she least expects it. They claw their way to her mind and present themselves in an eerie form of an ancestor who is more alike Dawn than she would wish to admit. Gabriel becomes her escape in the nightmare that she lives. Jeremiah is an older flame that she wants to escape, yet can't help but stay burning. And Tenebris recognises her more than she could ever imagine... The more revelations that are exposed, the stronger the darkness grows inside her. It is seductive and compelling in its calling, but can she fight it for the good of her heart? Or will she become what she fears the most?

Jenna Myers starts out with the kind of life most girls would envy-sweet boyfriend, loving family, predictable routines in a quiet Florida town. It's so perfect it's boring. But boredom doesn't last. After her newborn brother dies from SIDS, Jenna's world collapses. Her grief pulls her straight into the orbit of her cousin Tessa-who drags her into cocaine, all-nighters, and eventually court-ordered rehab. Months later, Jenna gets caught and ends up in the same facility, stuck in the same destructive cycle. Rehab doesn't save them. It traps them together long enough to get pregnant. So they run. From Florida to California, the girls survive off prostitution, drugs, strangers, and whatever numbness they can find. They fall in with Parker and his crew, drifting from state to state until Jenna ends up married just to stay alive. But chaos doesn't slow down-Tessa loses her baby, the crew abandons them, and a car accident takes Tessa's life before Jenna can stop it. Then another crash kills Parker and leaves Jenna pregnant and alone, with nothing left but the one place she's been running from: Home. The cure for boredom turned out to be chaos-addictive, dangerous, and nearly deadly. ⚠️ Content Warnings: This story contains: drug use & addiction cocaine use teen pregnancy prostitution homelessnes death (including infant loss, car accidents) grief & trauma graphic emotional distress unsafe situations involving minors Reader discretion is strongly advised.
