To bait a falcon, a very small bird is fitted with ball weights attached to a string held by the falconer. When the raptor attacks, the rolling dive will tangle around the legs of both birds, thus ensuring the falcon cannot fly away. Further training involves both the string and treats, often meat from the same small birds, encouraging the predator to return to its handler. Centuries of war between the gods have caused an imbalance in the mortal world. Stark lines of division have resulted in three species, all vying for survival against an increasingly harsh world; The Tasuri, demon-shifters with noble houses stretching back before the founding of cities, shapeshifters in their clans and dens, and the Acera, those without fang, claw, wing, or hoof. The Tasuri city of Rune has never been more powerful, or more desperate. A plague has hit, a disease of infertility that is decimating the population of the purebloods and shifters. The Tasuri and shapeshifters turn their attention to the small, remote villages and towns of the Acera. Defenseless, there is nothing to stop the two powerful groups from enslaving the Acera and destroying the balance of their world beyond recognition. The ruin of the Acera is underway when the Tasuri House of Fyriin births a Warlord. The young warrior, Falx, takes his army of demons into the hills. There, he is gifted a young Acera slave as tribute. Thania has every reason to hate him, but she bears more weight on her slight shoulders than Falx could possibly know. What happens to the world when you take the bird away from her falcon? Warning: This is a historical fantasy, paranormal romance. It will have explicit scenes, including scenes of nonconsent. This world is brutal and harsh. Please take care before reading!

Only the first five chapters of Iliana's Choice will remain on Wattpad. Iliana Thomas is MateLess. Only, it's a lie. A terrible lie to hide the pain of rejection. A lie that no one in her pack, her family, or her tight-knit group of friends suspects. Iliana holds her agonizing secret tightly as she forces herself to move on, to survive, to thrive, all without the male who chose her sister Georgina over her at her side. She has no need of such a faithless male. Her mate disagrees. Sean caused his fated truemate excruciating pain and will never forgive himself, so how can he possibly ask it of her? Inexcusable betrayal tastes wrong in his mouth, but worse is the knowledge that if Iliana's lie is exposed, it will be the she-wolf who suffers the consequences. The pack is facing a threat from a hidden foe, a group of mad scientists kidnapping and murdering she-wolves. When their next luna is a human, an alpha female must be chosen. It is Iliana's natural spot, and she intends to fight for it, but a MateLess she-wolf can't hold a position of leadership in the pack. Their alpha suggests a bond between two young, MateLess wolves, Iliana, and the younger brother of the next alpha, Braxton. The two are already close friends, and the attraction between them has always bloomed. When Braxton lost his own mate at a young age, it was Iliana who comforted him. Now, the young male is eager to mate with his closest friend. Iliana's secret can't remain hidden forever, but the threat to the pack is only growing. When the tower of lies comes tumbling down, who will bear its weight? And can the three find a way to deal with a love triangle they are a part of? Warning: Sex, Violence, and Language. MFM Romance.

It hurts a bit, but she doesn't find it hard to put him behind her. After all, she doesn't realize she has a mate. She's human. Conner has been raised to believe in truemates before all else. Bailey is... well... still human. When Conner decides to use Bailey to break apart the relationship between their mates, his game pulls Bailey into a world of wolves and betrayal that she never knew existed. When the world seems like it's fighting against you, the choices you make can change everything.

Hello Humans (and Others), Changelings are rare creatures. Beautiful, mysterious, deadly, and a lot of other cool descriptive words that I just don't have the time to think of right now. If you don't know what a changeling is, then look it up. Or don't, it doesn't really matter to me. The descriptions in old Irish folklore aren't really true, anyway. (The Irish drink a lot, so I've heard. My best advice is to take their stories with a grain of salt). I know precisely what a changeling is, because I am one. Yes, I am a changeling, not a wolf. I am not a wolf shifter even though that is who I live with... now. Alive. Remember that. It's a long story, but so worth it. Because it's about me; the beautiful, mysterious, deadly... You get the idea. Yours, Innie P.S. There are objectionable things inside. Language, sex, maybe some violence involving stilettos and wolves...
