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.

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.

All Dahlia Winters could recall about her childhood was her dead parents--ones who died when she was just a baby--and being a part of the Agency. The weight that came along with keeping her city safe. That's what happens when you're the city's famous, most loved vigilante. Only that her life--when she's just an average college student--was slowly going down the drain thanks to her antihero nemesis, and the city's most notorious villain: Ice Phantom. Not to forget her ex-best friend and his hateful glances, and the cold reminder of their last interaction on New Year's Eve. Then there was her smouldering hot, blue-eyed roommate, who made her heart skip a beat every time he looked at her. And Dahlia couldn't, for the life of her, understand why. Despite being the city's masked hero, which was a big responsibility on its own, Dahlia couldn't help but dread if it was her normal citizen life she should be more concerned about. . . .

Leila Ardeneux was born into a family of werewolves. By every principle of biology and logic, she should be one. But something is wrong with her, something that has caused her skin to be hairless and her teeth unsharp, something that has made her an outcast among her pack. She found her only solace in her best friend, Zakai Belfiore. He meant the world to her and she to him. They grew up together, playing childish games and pulling spiteful pranks. It was them against the world and they were inseparable, until they were torn apart. When they were fourteen, Zakai's family left the pack, thereby forcing him to leave Leila. After two years without him, Leila leaves as well. She runs away from her abusive pack to build a life as a human. For three years it works, and for the first time, her life is almost peaceful. Then one night a familiar scent wafts through the air, a dead body appears under a bridge, and someone is stalking her new human family. As the past converges upon the volatile present, Leila finds that she cannot outrun her blood so easily--or the right her birth has damned her to. Weekly updates! Cover made by @Silverless
