SUNDAY UPDATES An arcane rogue witch and an elusive banished vampire team up to take on a Council that wants to control dark magic. * Elvira has never let the rules of magic define her. She's always pushed beyond the boundaries of arcane magic to create forbidden spells. But when her latest hex goes terribly wrong, she's taken to the Night Council -- where she discovers a terrible secret lurking. The Night Council wants to take away the power of all darkfolk and keep it under their control. All that power only available for their use. Elvira, of course, will not allow this to happen - but no one else seems any interested in stopping the Night Council. Which means she has to do it, but it can't be done alone. And so Elvira makes a blood debt with the one person strong enough to take down the Council and let dark magic stay free. A supernatural declared wanted by the Council themselves, a notorious outlaw and a banished Vampire. Azreal Dryden. She'll break the cuffs holding his magic back -- and in return, he'll take vengeance on the Night Council. No one can stand in the way of this demonic duo, because apart they're powerful but together they'll bring the Council to their knees. *** 🥇 First Place of the Rose Gold Awards 2025 for Vampire/Werewolf

Her love is a weapon. It's killed before. And this time, she's sworn it won't happen again. Everyone at Blackthorn University thinks Kara is just another human girl juggling midterms, frat parties, and overpriced lattes. No one suspects the truth: that she's a Phoenix shifter, hiding in plain sight in a world ruled by werewolves and lycans. Even her closest friends don't know the fire simmering beneath her skin. But Kara isn't just hiding from them, she's hiding from fate. From the one thing she dreads more than anything else: her mate. She's done letting her love be a death sentence. She won't survive another loss. The scars she bears run deeper than flesh. So when Ryker, the dangerously magnetic lycan General, realizes Kara is his fated mate, she does exactly what she swore she would. She pushes him away. Again. And again. And again. But lycans don't walk away from their mates. And Ryker? He's dominant, possessive, and utterly relentless. He's a storm she can't outrun, a flame that won't go out. And every heated glance, every stolen moment, threatens to shatter the walls she's spent years building. As secrets ignite and her past begins to unravel, Kara must face the truth: Can she let herself love again, knowing it could destroy them both? Or will her lies-and the deadly curse entwined with her love-be the very thing that dooms them forever?

When no good deed goes unpunished... Created by the Moon Goddess to protect her wolves from predators and those in power, the magical Mahani wolves should live idyllic lives, but the reality is cruel. In return for this help, the werewolves and humans hunt, torture, and kill the Mahani. However, nothing can stop these wolves from helping those who need them. So what happens when the tribe protecting Europe realizes the Moon Goddess has several of their fates intertwined within a wolf pack? Will the abuse override the matebond? ------ *Sneak peek* I fought for control, as my wolf wouldn't let up. After a few minutes, my head hurt as bad as my heart. I slid down to my knees just as the most horrible pain hit me. My scream and my wolf's howl came out of my mouth simultaneously. I knew what was happening as I had lived through this nightmare already. He was losing his innocence without his consent. The tears streamed down my face as I yelled my anguish. My fellow pack members surrounded me, and someone was holding me as I sobbed my torment, but I don't know who. My wolf was no longer fighting for control, just releasing her own loud cries. I would never wish this on my worst enemy, and it was happening to my mate. Just as I thought I couldn't handle more, my heart skipped a beat, a pain I never wanted to feel again, as my entire body shut down. That monster just marked my mate. ----- This story is a paranormal/fantasy dark drama. The front-end materials provide a complete content warning since the chapters lack trigger markers. Stay safe in what you read. Because this is a new werewolf world, the front-end material also contains The Mahani World Guide, so you can get a feel for the ranks and powers before diving in. It is not a necessary read, but it's there if you need it. Started writing July 2023 Started posting Oct 2023 Completed posting Dec 2023 #1 in Werewolf - Jan 2024

** A young woman sees a walking dead in the open streets of Whitby. A train full of corpses crashes into Kings Cross. In an Asylum, a gruesome nightmare becomes horrible reality. All this should have been a warning to Kyle and his partner Benjamin of the Order of Seekers. ** "Mundus vult decipi, ergo decipiatur. The world wants to be deceived; let it be deceived!" - Motto of the Order of Seekers - London 1899. Where spirit calling has become as normal as cricket and tennis, the lines between fantasy and reality blur. In fine society, occultism and an affiliation with 'secret' lodges are part of the latest fashion. A particularly exclusive group of this kind is the Order of Seekers, dedicated to researching, keeping secrets, and covering up supernatural events. The Magician Kyle Crowford and the Military Doctor Dr. Benjamin Archer belong to that lodge. Their latest order: a girl is said to have seen a revenant in Whitby in broad daylight. Was it just the mirage of a twisted mind or horrible facts? A race against time begins for the seekers because their tracks always lead them to a clue: vampires. If everything turns out to be true and the dead walk the earth, the living will fill the graves by the hundreds. What begins for the two men with a seemingly harmless order develops into a landslide of events, the extent of which soon terrorizes the whole of London. **** Cover by Thinkerling
