Excerpt - "Chapter 1: Zion" By the time the alarm rang, it was already too late. I just didn't know it yet. "Zion?" Nia's frantic call rouses me from my dream of my mother, Kecia Maelstrom, our Luna emeritus. The alarm blares again and that's all it takes to have me vaulting from the bed, Nia's hand in mine. "Get to the bunker." "No! We discussed this," Nia shouts. "I'm your Luna. I fight by your side, Zi. Together." We have no time to argue, I grit my teeth as Nia arms up with her crossbow and blade, strapping the bow on her back and securing her sword at her hip. "You stay on my ass," I whisper urgently as another peal cuts through the night followed by a crash. "You hear me, Nia? On my ass." "I'm not leaving you for anything," Nia replies, amber eyes meeting my own as I arm up with my own blades and storm out of the door of our little home into chaos. My eyes widen. There's fire everywhere. Our peaceful village has been transformed into a hellscape. My heart launches into my chest as Nia stares around at my side, stunned by the carnage. It looks like a bomb has gone off. One very well may have...

[COMPLETED] [MXM] The god-like guardians have been part of mortal history for as long as the world has existed. They exist in the background, taking on different roles and guiding the mortals. The mortal realm has been split between the four different guardian factions: The air guardians, the earth guardians, the water guardians, and the fire guardians. Fire guardian leader Chatan is hiding something about himself. Water guardian leader, and his former lover turned enemy, Vitali feels like he's the only one that's noticed the change in Chatan. Mathieu is just trying to follow his twin, Chatan, and complete what he believes to be their destiny. Earth guardian Léonide is still searching for a reason why Mathieu suddenly pushed him away. Something sinister is lurking just beneath the surface of what the guardians believe to be their normal lives. Facing difficulties from increasing mortal problems, the guardians are pushed into their own battle. Chatan and Mathieu seem to be two of the few guardians who know what is happening with the balance of the world, but even they seem uneasy about something. It is up to Vitali and Léonide to figure out exactly what is happening before it is too late. The Sun goes dark as War rises.

They couldn't be more different. Ridley is a knight in shining white armor, so perfect in every way that it makes people hardly able to stand him.

The two young men are right out of a fairytale, practically made to be archenemies...but what if they ended up falling in love instead?

James has one golden rule. Never date a werewolf. Sure, he'll date another wizard like himself, a vampire, a mortal, a merman and hey it's the 21st century, he'd date a goblin, if the guy was nice enough. BUT NEVER A WEREWOLF. He's already learned his lesson. Besides, he's too busy with matchmaking to even focus on his own love life to even give into the idea of dating.... no matter what his vision said about that no good temperamental Alpha Eric Silva.

Harlan has a unique power, one that makes him see things others cant, and therefore got him thrown in an asylum when he was only a child. Now he's a reluctant hero, thrust into the profession since he lacked any other option. He's amazing at his job, and six years into his work, is the sidekick to one of the most notable heroes of his generation: Lavina. Unfortunately, he also hates being a hero, but there's one thing that makes it worth it. The numbered. A series of villains who appeared out of nowhere and have an exceptional skill at avoiding the law, heroes, and just generally winning or evading consequences. Consequences, which are the only part of Harlan's job he enjoys. Harlan wants to find the root of it all more than anything, and he's beginning to get close. He intends to find out at any cost. He intends to win at any cost. That, he's sure of. His drive is unmatched. Until something entirely foreign to him gets involved: Feelings. [WARNINGS: smut, gore, swearing, some heavy topics, morally grey characters (the usual)]
