Olivier never shifted, and rather than staying in a place where she would never see freedom, she ran away to live in the human world. During her time away from the supernatural world and it's' politics, a new threat emerged that disrupted her peaceful human life and she found herself caught in the crosshairs. To top it all off, the person responsible for getting her involved in the whole mess is the stoic alpha of a neighboring pack that seems reluctant to let her return to her peaceful human life from before. I'm so bad at writing summaries, it's good I promise ;-; please :,) _______ Growing up reading Wattpad stories as a girl, I really wanted to see a realistic female lead who is emotionally strong and doesn't denounce feminine qualities or things to prove or symbolize strength. I wanted to see various female characters who felt real, instead of 'love interest #2' or 'petty bully #1' so all of my female characters contain depth and possess intricate backstories. In a way this story is my love letter to all women, because your strength and character inspires me <3 This is a romance, fantasy, adventure story in that order. I tried to make the characters as real and organic as possible. This means that there is no immediate romantic connection because both parties need to build mutual trust before jumping into a relationship irl (there will be saucy scenes once romance is in full swing tho don't worry). UNDER RECONSTRUCTION: only read the chapters with (edited) at the end of the title, I am taking the story in a slightly different direction, so any chapters after the (edited) ones are from the old story and likely will not align with the current plot. THANKS FOR READING!!

Highest Ranking #3 in Historical Fiction A re-imagining of the true story behind the first assassination attempt of Queen Victoria and the maids who prevented her death. In a time of poetic conversations, sumptuous ball gowns and aristocratic men... dwelled three maids. And by maids, I don't mean quiet, delicate country girls who donned a bonnet and an apron, I mean working kitchen-hands who wore female garments as if they were men's trousers, who had a powerful right hooks hidden beneath demure innocence and laced with wit as sharp as a Toledo blade. These feisty lass's names were Mina, Liara and lastly Verushka. Circumstance had placed them below stairs but destiny was due to take them in odd and exciting directions. One to the stage, the other to the young Queens secret guard, and the last of the three was to venture to the inevitable glittering ballroom, but all paths were to lead to a charming and devilish Rake. For, much more is stored in the kitchen than eggs and flour - in the Bexley House, there is Persuasion in the Pantry.

Their Hungarian neighbors and rival vampire clan, the Huszars are starting to ramp up attacks, maybe looking to start a war to take over all the Kandeskys have built.

Captain Cole Stanley was a man bound to the sea and lands beyond the stifling industry of London. There was no space in his busy lifestyle for a woman, especially not a prim little miss like Oriana Brightmore. Yet despite her shyness, there appeared to be an underlying wit and spirit to her personality that Cole begins to find irresistible. Oriana always thought that her future-husband should be charming and even-tempered; none of which belonged to Captain Stanley- the odious guest residing with the Ashcroft's for a short spell. Although the obnoxious man vexed her beyond reason, he also may just be her only solution to finding a man who will want her- one that was currently on his way to the Americas.
