Problems seems to follow her everywhere but things turn around for her on her 25th birthday. While literally running from her newest life changing event she runs into Murciél, a member of the Brotherhood of Kings. Murciél saves Sarauniya by dining on her attackers and while she tries to escape, he holds her close, caresses her cheek and mutters "mate" before he puts her to sleep in his arms. Now she must deal with her 6 mates, discover her true destiny and help destroy a false king that seeks to usurp the brotherhood. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I own NONE of the images used except the current book photo. Everyone is a model most likely and I have given their names if I was able to locate it. The art is just for reference. All names used for characters and business etc are COMPLETELY made up. Any correlation to a real person place or thing is completely coincidence. #162 in mage 😯😯😯 wwwaaaaaatttt 1/10/2020

{A #PrideatWattpad Book Club Selection} A revised version of my unsuccessful entry to the @Wattpad One That Got Away anthology. VERY loosely inspired by the movie Legally Blonde but YA and gayer with way more Black people. After Yves' girlfriend Loren dumps her for nonbinary school genius Phoenix Belmont, she decides to prove she's just as smart as her replacement by running against Loren for student body president. But her plans to use her wits to win Loren back are foiled when Yves starts catching feelings for the person her ex left her for. All's fair in love and politics, until they come to high school. © 2020-present Idris Grey

why do they call her milk? "...i like things simple. i'm not sweet, but i'm not savoury. you leave me alone long enough, and i'll become sour. some people love me, some people don't. take it or leave it." why do they call her honey? "i sweeten the deal. i ooze gold. a treasure from the Gods. the colour of sun rays on a hot day . words from my mouth leave that decadent taste on your tongue. loved by many, hated by few." they are opposites that cannot help but be good with the other. one by themselves is almost improbable. of course it's possible, they're okay on their own, they have to be. but together? together, they make each other better. that's what it's all about.

This work is to educate those who want to be educated. To Be Educated is a series of essays that strive to spread awareness of the Black Lives Movement and the recent events happening in 2020 America after the death of George Floyd. When you read this work, you will learn about the state of America from a non-political perspective. Topics will include racism, police brutality, white supremacy, and many other topics. Resources will also be provided to help support the BLM movement if you're unable to protest due to Covid-19 or fear of persecution. I will also include spaces at the end of each essay to open for discussion between the readers as well as safe spaces for readers to share their grievances and beliefs. _____ My platform had always focused on spreading awareness of bullying. I believe it is my civic duty to use my platform and my writing to give the black community a voice. I'm not a member of the black community. I'm a person of color, an immigrant, low-income, a first-generation college student. I'm passionate about history and social justice. This work is a contribution to the black community, my black readers, and to any of my readers who wish to learn more about the movement and show their support. Thank you and be safe.
