"Remember this - don't fuck up my life more than you already have, pretty boy. You're gonna regret it." Even while knowing that he felt nothing towards me other than hatred, that was the first time I really acknowledged the small things about Blake Brooks, something I never thought about before. His face was like a drug I couldn't get enough of. -- Theo Wright is a quiet, and intelligent nerd, who's academically oriented. He comes from a family with a prestigious and wealthy background. He's usually left alone, ignored, and overlooked, but not at his new High School. Not at Redsen High. With his parents firing half of the town's shop owners to make room for more chain restaurants and stores, the town of Redcliff is enraged at the Wrights' actions. Especially Blake Brooks, a popular and obnoxious jock, who just so happens to live next to the Wright mansion, and coincidentally, goes to the same school as Theo. When Blake finds out the news about his parents' unjustified unemployment, he's angry and provoked. And what better way to get back at the Wrights', than to find his way into their business secrets? But to achieve this, he first needs to find his way into Theo Wright's heart.

I notice how his lip curls up at the edge when he sees me. A soft breeze blows his scent across the room, and I can't think. Roses and salty ocean waves fill my nostrils. Add sunlight to the mix- which shouldn't have a smell but Luna, he smells like it- and I'm pretty sure if I could open my mouth, I'd be drooling. 'Mate.' My wolf whispers, giddy.

[COMPLETED] [2025 Wattys Honorable Mention] Danny's neighbor should be illegal. There's no way someone should be that attractive. They've lived next door to each other for over a year. As a skinny, clumsy, sweater-loving, Modern Poetry professor, Danny never believed someone like him could catch the eye of someone as perfect as Brett. But when Danny (accidentally) RSVPs to a destination wedding he never wanted to attend, he realizes he's in a bind-he needs a plus-one. And somehow, Brett becomes his unexpected solution. Brett's MMA career was on the brink of greatness until an injury stopped him cold. Now, trying to reclaim his spot in the octagon and live up to heavy expectations, the last thing Brett expected was to build a friendship with the neighbor he's been crushing on.

My body shook with fear, I hugged my knees to my chest, hidden in the small closet in my childhood bedroom at the pack house. My fingers were scabbed and bloody from my constant nibbling and picking at the skin. A stress induced behaviour. ''𝘿𝙚𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙚...'' A voice snarled my nickname, prolonging each syllable just to torment me. I covered my mouth in an attempt to muffle my sporadic breaths. ''𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙤𝙪𝙩, 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙧𝙚.... 𝙄'𝙢 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙜𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙚𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙤𝙣𝙚.'' It snickered, its amusement evident. I sobbed, it knew where I was. It was playing with me. Like a cat with a mouse. Only this was no cat. This was a lycan. A merciless, demonic, alpha lycanthrope. Blurb: Desdemona Price thought when she finally found her mate she would be happy.

Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.
