Cupid and Psyche. It's the oldest tale in the world. But what happens when Cupid falls victim to his own arrow for the second time around? And this time, it's with a mortal girl, Cytherea Hastings.

Lexie is not a warrior. In fact, Lexie is a painter. Her hands are always covered in paint. Never coming off. Always there. For Lexie, painting is an escape. An escape from her pain. She paints to avoid the darkness that is in her soul. She paints to avoid looking at the bleeding wound inside her chest. She paints. To forget. But then Lexie meets someone. Her mate. He also hides a dark anger inside him. An anger at everything and the world around him. When two souls collide, how do you fix each other? Atlas isn't looking for a mate. He's seen the effect of women within his life, and how cruel they can be. But then he meets someone. Someone he doesn't want to meet. A painter soul. And a warrior's heart. How will the two collide? ***Note this can be read as a stand-alone story. Moon Child can be found on world_joy_ bio page - feel free to read it to get other characters background story.

The story was always told differently, depending on who you asked, but one thing was always the same. They found her lying in the snow.

They weren't supposed to meet. But life does that sometimes; it throws in a couple of new faces that bring you the utmost of joys in the most unlikeliest of places, and every now and then, you'll come across someone who changes you - someone who's genuine and wonderful and full of hope; someone who changes your perspective on the things that you had stored away in the cardboard box sitting in the dark corner of your closet, someone who opens up your eyes to new things; bright and beautiful things that you can't believe you hadn't seen before, someone who's iridescent. And once you meet them, nothing will ever compare.

Dear Alpha, According to the pack rules, whenever one has a problem, one should consult the alpha, so I guess here I am. Alpha, I have a problem that I hope you can solve. You see, I've found my mate three years ago, the problem is, I hid myself from him. Why? It's because I love him. I loved him a year ago, I love him now, and I'll love him for many years to come. Being with me would have only held him down. Now, here's the real situation at hand. Three years later, which is now, he's engaged to someone else and is about to mate her. I've managed to keep my secret for three years, but now, seeing him in love with someone who isn't me hurts. A whole damn lot. So alpha, what in the world am I supposed to do? -The Hidden One

Those people are mine, those soldiers are mine, you are mine." I freeze. "Well," I straighten my spine, tightening my fists," I am not to be owned by anyone, least of all you.

Madisyn has tried to kill herself. She refuses any of the help offered to her. She can't look at herself in the mirror. She can't go to school without her blade.

She can't let anyone into that part of her life. She just can't trust anyone. So imagine her disdain when the new kid who actually saved her life enlists himself as her new bodyguard.
