Every night since Elijah Woodscroft was six years old, he saw her. She'd sneak up to the roof, happy and carefree. Every night, Elijah fell in love with her a little bit more. There was only one problem: she was a princess and he was a commoner struggling under the harsh reign of King Charles Silvaki. Soon, he joins a rebel group trying to take him down, but his fascination with Lilith interferes with everything.
Every night since Princess Lilith Lorraine of house Silvaki, third in line to the throne, was five years old, she's climbed up to the roof of the castle. At first it was simply because she was bored and wanted to play more imaginative games than what she could in her playroom, but over the years it became a safehaven from her abusive father, the king. She hates her father, but loves him too. Her conflicting emotions alter her entire life.
As soon as Elijah is old enough, he gets a job at the palace working for the man he despises and the woman he loves. He can't help but wonder: will his love for Lilith and loyalty to the rebels conflict? Will his life ever make sense again?

She had asked me a question and wanted to always be responded to. "Shut up, she was answering me. Leave the Kitten alone" growled Chloe, her hand firmly on my shoulder, Kendall glared at her in frustration. "My ruling comes first! I came out first!" defended Kendall, jumping to his feet. Great, they're going to fight again, I've never seen siblings get along so terribly. "My ruling comes first Kendall. Don't you forget that" stated the calm and foreboding voice of Danny. He didn't move from his seat at the couch, his sharp eyes scanning over me. "Cat, why don't you transform, let those two squabble." He told me, I could easily tell it was a demand worded as if I had a choice. Kendall and Chloe glowered at me, I squeaked, feeling her grip tighten, my body quickly shrinking and painfully changing. Danny stood and approached me, lifting my limp body up. "Good" he praised, moving back to the couch to read, leaving me on his lap. My tiny heart beating rapidly.Complete

Red's Wolves
Alera lost her mother early in life and was raised by a strict king for a father and the many nursemaids who crossed themselves before touching her. It wasn't until she was of marrying age that she learned why the people feared her. She was canny... like her forest mother. Canny and feared to be fae. The only person besides her father who didn't seem to fear her was the handsome stable boy. He knew what she was and didn't cross himself before letting his hands touch hers longer than needed for helping her to her mount. And on her 18th birthday, neither could deny the bond that dragged them together. But her father had her sold off to make an advantageous match with the neighboring king's sullen and cruel son.

All I Need ✔️
"You're playing with fire Safania." "Good thing I don't burn." The last words he spoke before throwing me onto my bed sounded like a threat, but felt more like a promise. "You will." *** Don't get caught. Those are the three words Safania has lived by for the past five years. As a marked woman - easily identified by intricate bronze marks on her back and unpredictable special abilities - she has spent the past five years running from anyone who might exploit those abilities...especially the royal families who tortured marked women to build their empires. Starving, exhausted, and frozen, she collapses by the bank of a river just to wake up in her worst nightmare: the chambers of a prince. Prince Cassius is his father's first choice of his three brothers to ascend to the throne. He's smart, strategic, and stoic, unlike his corrupt and depraved brothers. There's just one problem: he has no interest in any of his proposed marital matches, and the King will only pick someone as his successor who he knows will carry on the family line. But once he meets Safania, he finds himself unable to imagine ruling the kingdom without her by his side. Can he convince her to trust him? *** Warning: this story contains mature and potentially triggering themes including domestic violence and sexual assault. Reader discretion is advised.Complete
