As a young woman Anna has a short, passionate love affair with a mysterious young man with looks, brains, and most a seductive power known as "duende."
This same dark power that pulls her toward him, will also turn out to be a curse she has to break. Not completely believing in magic or knowing how to break the curse, Anna continues to look for love in all the wrong relationships until she meets a handsome graduate student in ancient symbolism who holds the key to unlocking the curse, but as the truth of her past unravels before her, she will have to choose between love and magic, what is real and what is fiction.

Hollowspire
In a city where magic is bound by iron and oaths, Nyx has spent years hunting the things that slip through the cracks - demons, devourers, creatures whispered about in forgotten prayers. She's good at it, until a single mission leaves her bloodied, bound to a voice she can't silence, and staring down a war she doesn't understand. As her orders grow murky and the wards that keep the world safe begin to flicker, Nyx is pulled deeper into a web of old prophecies and older hungers. Every step she takes toward the truth draws her closer to the thing she's sworn to destroy... and to the shadowed figure whose help she can't seem to refuse. Ancient power is waking. The Spire is hollowing. And Nyx may be the last barrier between the world and a hunger older than its name. Please feel free to give constructive criticism. It's been a while since I've been back in the writing game but I got inspired for this.

And when darkness returned to claim him, he let her take the fall. Now chained to a curse she didn't deserve, YN must fight her way out... While Taehyung watches from the shadows- not as a savior, but a sinner. And Jungkook? He stepped in when everything was already broken. But sometimes, broken things have the strongest hearts. A story of love, betrayal, and a curse that changes everything. Some endings aren't happy. Some are hauntingly beautiful.Complete
| MMRM | My Mate, Remember Me
***Please read my message on November 12, 2019 (if you can) for enlightenment purposes*** "Who are you?" A certain Luna asked. "Tell me, why do I feel like this?" The Alpha in front of her just stayed frozen. "Why do you make me feel so....pained?" The Luna questioned as her hands slightly trembled. "You have suffered because of me. I deserve to be punished but please," He said as he tried to approach her. The Luna watched him in disbelief as the man embraced her tightly in his arms. "Please let me hold you in my arms, even if its just for awhile, even if its just for today. Please..." He begged as tears fell down from his face. 'If I tell her that she's my mate, then I will lose the right to remain by her side.' The Alpha firmly said inside his mind. 'Please, just let me stay while I can, because once she remembers me - I will have to leave.' ※◎※◎※◎※◎※◎-※◎※◎※◎※◎※◎ This book is a work of fiction. The cliche: "Alpha rejects his mate and regrets it once he sees her." WARNING: Over-used plot and plot holes. I just had to write it. *laughs* #MMRM ©Itwasonlyadream801 [Aleana Dela Cruz]Complete
My Abusive Mate

Extremely nervous, he came up to me and grabbed me by the wrist and pulled me into a nearby janitors closet. I didn't even have a chance to say anything because his lips were suddenly on mine. I slowly pushed him off me, feeling like we're going too fast. "Shouldn't we at least find out some stuff about each other?" I asked him. "Why? It's not like I care about you." Those words shattered my heart. "S-so you're going to reject me?" He thought for a moment. "No, I think I'll keep you as a sex toy." Before I could say anything else, he ripped off my shirt and bit down on my shoulder. Meet Lexi. A nobody. She hopes that once she finds her mate, he'll be sweet and kind.

All That Ever Happened
Avalon has been having dreams of someone so special yet unknown to her since her accident. She constantly loses memories when she passes out at random times. Her two best friends, who began dating not too long ago, seem to be acting strange towards her. As the days pass, she tries to figure out who this man is and she finds that he may be a lot closer to her than she originally expected. Note: This is a story I created and submitted a while back for a writing contest that had a maximum word count of 16,000 words and I wanted to make the most with having such a wide range, so this is likely to be one of the longest stories I will put on here. Thank you to anyone who reads :)Complete
