The Witch's circus is in town, and you've got the best seat in the house! We only come around once in your pitiful, mortal lifespan.
We've got feral beasts and feral children, knife-eaters and fire-feasters. We have fortunes guaranteed to come true! We have magic mirrors and a Carousel that's been spinning longer than you've been alive!
Gorge yourself with our tragically addictive popcorn, chow down on our candy apples, cotton candy, and feast on funnel cake!
Just make sure you follow our rules while you're here:
Keep your ticket on your person at all times... if you value your freedom.
Do not feed the beasts (or the performers, for that matter)... if you value your hide.
Do not overstay your welcome... if you value your life.

Touched By The Veil - Untamed Goddess Trilogy 1 - SAMPLE ONLY
Nine years ago, Sahriya ran into the forest and never came back. Everyone said she should've died, feral beasts don't spare little girls. But they didn't kill her. They raised her. Now at nineteen, she lives barefoot, unbonded, and completely untamed. She hunts with wolves, speaks to ravens, and soothes broken beasts with just a touch of her glowing hands. She knows nothing of rankings, registration, or the brutal harem politics of the beastkind clans. She has no idea she's the first Myrren born female in two hundred years. Or that her power exceeds even the highest divine tier. When she stumbles across a hunting party of ten dangerously unbonded beast shifter males... everything changes. They feel it. That rare energy pulsing beneath her skin. That aura their beasts can't resist. Something sacred. Something untouchable. Something the gods themselves are watching. And if she's not careful... their need for her will turn feral. But Sahriya is no fragile thing. She is the wild. And she was born to break the system. 🔥 Reverse harem 🐺 Feral beast shifters 🌕 Divine prophecy + primal bonding 🩸 Wild magic, mating rituals, soft dominance 💋 Untamed heroine with goddess blood This is a sample only!

But when Arabesque arranges a marriage to the Vampire King's chosen groom, Seri seizes her chance to escape.

Vicious Fangs (Mystic Bonds #1) | COMPLETED
❝ Let's find you a new home, shall we? ❞ •○• A cold Shifter General. A bloodthirsty Vampire Prince. A powerful Fae King. A mysterious protective werewolf Alpha. And a human girl. The question was - why were the strings of fate bringing them together? •○• 18 year old, sharp and vigilant Cara Arnel was one step away from slavery freedom and being sold. And being caught by the Shifter General of the Vampire Army was most certainly not a part of that plan. Nor was becoming a scullery maid or an assaulted slave in the Royal Palace instead of a blood bag or sex slave. But that was when things started to change. Tensions became high and fights broke out in the unstable supernatural world with the return of Lucifer's son: Killian after more than four centuries. Her visions started again. And a bit too many supernatural males were willing to protect her for no reason whatsoever. Turns out, Cara might not be as insignificant as she thought. Yet, she was undoubtedly human. And it seemed, she wasn't as well informed of her past as she thought. If her memories were the ones to be relied upon. At least.......the ones she had of this life. •○• Shortlisted for Wattpad India Awards 2021 (Please don't copy the story line. It's all mine. A figment of my imagination.
