Immortal Heir Book I: Forsaking Dreams previously title Away With Me
Marren showed up to Moon's Creek Orphanage at her seventh year, knowing nothing of her past or where she might have even come from, with only a small bauble on a chain as a clue. The day she arrived, the lady of the orphanage found her sleeping on one of the cots in the spare rooms- not that there had been many spare rooms. Without question they took her in, had her preform menial chores, and help with the younger children.
Nearly a decade later and she was the last one. She knew that in less than two weeks she'd be kicked from the premise by the Empire's law, and with no where to go and no knowledge of the outside world, she was lost and hopeless. By chance or maybe fate, the Acolytes of Marais came to Moon's Creek seeking an apprentice.
Now risen out of poverty, Marren is learning more about the world than she had ever dreamed... or wished to know- elves walk as men covered by glamour, the King's forge is run by an Orc, and the kitchen is spilling with the small folk. Nothing is what is seems in the Capital of the Terrmirica empire, and she's about to find out she plays a much larger role than anyone anticipated.

Fairy Lands- Book 1
The word 'Fairy' meant very little to Sam. He imagined mischievous little imps with brightly coloured wings, he imagined cute little tricksters who delighted young children. He knew them only as a story, one he was a little too old for. But real Fairies were not so whimsical, real fairies stalked prey before devouring them bit by bit, real Fairies were unnatural creatures of darkness, barred from the Fae world of Galadria. Sam Turnble always had trouble fitting in, controlling his anger and staying in one school long enough to make friends. Entering his last years of education, he was determined to stick it out. His mother was exasperated, and after finding her son crawling on the ceiling one early morning, she was contacted by Stildegar School. Stildegar was a special school made only for those transitioning from human to Fae. Witches, Werewolves, Vampires and now a Fairy, all converged together at this castle built into a steep cliff. There had only ever been one other Fairy Changeling to enter that school and Sam felt oddly connected to him, even if he was banished to the dark realm almost 40 years prior. Haunted by ghosts of the past and torn between who he is and who he wants to be, Sam must unravel the mystery of his predecessor all the while falling in messy love with a Vampire Initiate. It's a mess, it's dramatic and it's certainly no fairy tale. MxM TW: Violence/sexual themes.Complete
Remembering You For Eternity
[[Book 2 (FINAL book) of "One Lifetime is Never Enough"]] "I would have waited for you forever." The lament of a faraway voice that she had missed - that she had been longing to answer to - echoed in her mind. "But, you are no longer here." The despairing sigh was a muted murmur - clawing at her, begging for her to respond. But she was there, here, wherever the voice was. But then again, she might as well was not. She could no longer see, could no longer reach him. The voice sounded so near, but it was also as far as another world she could no longer be in. Nevertheless, she could still feel, in the darkness that was cradling her non-existence; the agony she felt in her non-beating heart, in her dormant soul, it was all due to her longing. For the owner of the voice. For him. The voice kept begging in agony - tormenting her, tormenting himself. And she could not do anything. "Please wait for me." "Please remember me." "Why... why can't I see you?" "Won't you wait for me?" ----------------- For you, I will wait for eternity. This time, I will wait. This time, it is my turn to wait. So please, please just let me find you. Please, be there when I find you. Please, tell me that you are still mine. That I still exist, perhaps not in your memory, but etched in your very soul. Like you have been deeply engraved in mine, lingering like a beautiful illness I will gladly bear and succumb to. Because, I will search to all corners of this world, and wait until the end of days. For you. Because, this world will always be wretched without you. And then, I will always, forever, bloom. For you. -----------------Complete![Tattoos & Scars [1] | Jasper Hale](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/204071223-256-k766027.jpg)
Tattoos & Scars [1] | Jasper Hale
"...I don't draw on my body to make myself look badass, no, it was never that way. I see you glance at them whenever your sister comes in. You're interested and don't deny that, Mr. Look and Stay Silent." There was a girl, a reserved girl who worked five out the seven days of a week at a nail salon. She had artistic skills, which inspired her to spread her artistic love on her body. Some held a secret. Some held a memory. And some were just for a small smile to be produced any day. Then there was a boy, a reserved boy who had trouble with emotions and was seen wandering the halls of the school, only ever having his eyes on the floor he walked on. He had scars. One held his dark, haunting past that made his nonexistent tears fall. His scars made him frown, made his lips tremble, made his mouth form into a terrifying scowl. So when you place that one girl and that one boy in a room, what do you get? A journey. Started: 10/25/19 Ended: 01/20/20Complete
Rebellion
Picked for the WattVamps February Showcase & now a Wattpad Dark Fantasy featured story! The Risen Series - Book 1 Rebellion I've been a cardholding member of the undead for centuries, torn away from the sun by a vampire with no care for human life.

Content to live out eternity as no more than a shadow, I do my best to stay out of trouble. But trouble always had a way of finding me. During a hunt, I run into another vampire doing his best to go unnoticed; one so ancient the air around him reeks of power, and he claims he's just escaped imprisonment from the very council that used me to their own ends. Atanas demands I help him until he regains his strength so he can finish what he started a century ago, but I'm not sure that's all he wants from me. And while I'm no supporter of the council he seeks vengeance against, there are secrets that bind my life to theirs, and I know better than most that disloyalty means death.

The Chosen Pair
Book 1 in The Rift-born Chronicle At thirteen, every child awakens-either as a Guide or an Esper. At eighteen, they are Matched in a sacred bond, their fates entwined to protect the world from the monstrous Revenants that spill through the Rifts. Cai Athren was supposed to be the perfect heir-born into a dynasty of elite Guides, destined to pair with an equally powerful Esper. But there's a problem. His hypersensitive senses reject every candidate, their presence unbearable. The Academy whispers about his unmatched status, and his family is losing patience. If he doesn't choose a partner, the Athren name will be tarnished forever. Then Thalassa Riven walks in. An orphan. A stray. A wildcard. The first Esper whose presence doesn't revolt him-but instead draws him in like a tidal pull. She is S-Rank, unnaturally powerful, and undeniably dangerous. The Academy doesn't trust her. The Vanguard watches her too closely. And Cai's family refuses to accept an Esper with no lineage. But the moment their Synchronization begins, it's unlike anything the world has seen before. Their bond is too strong, too intense, too raw. And as whispers of the Riftborn King echo through Thalassa's mind, she begins to wonder-was she Matched with Cai by fate? Or is she something else entirely? Because in a world where power is inherited, not chosen... their bond might just break everything.![The Vampire King's Mate [Completed]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/142744604-256-k788477.jpg)
The Vampire King's Mate [Completed]
"What are you doing here?" I gulped at the hoarse voice. Instead of replying, I stared at Maria's corpse lying on the floor. "You smell so sweet." I hear him speak licking his lips. He did next what I was being afraid of, he closed the remaining distance by stepping ahead and held my waist with one of his muscular arm while the other swept the hair to the side exposing my bare neck. I was scared to death. ________________♧♧♧_______________ In a world where humans and the supernaturals lived together, Elina's parents were killed by a mysterious vampire.

Just One Drop
(Book 1 in the 'Blood Drops' series) Five drops for the vampires who drink it. Four for the creatures who relish in it. Three for the strong who take it. Two for the weak who cower from it. One for the humans from whom it is taken. *** This book, along with all the others in this series, was written in a manic creative frenzy when I was about 11-12 years old. I do not consider it quality work, nor do I find it representative of my writing skills today. I will not take it down, because it is still fairly popular and I enjoy reflecting upon how I have developed my writing over the years. All I ask is that if you choose to read the book(s), please take into consideration that this was written by a tween many years ago, and that I am not the same person (or writer) as I was then. Thank you. *** 16 year old Felicia Winters had a life no one would be proud to call their own. No friends and a dysfunctional family; she had been bullied for most of her life. Until the day when she was captured by vampires, and sold to their prince, Braith. As a mysterious bond forms between them, they both deny it and refuse each other. But as Felicia drifts further and further from him, a rift begins to form within Braith, putting him and his entire kingdom- in fact, the whole world- at risk. But will she be able to love the man who has abused her so much? Or has she already found another love? And as a werewolf rebellion brews in the shadows, they are running out of time. Soon there will only be rubble left to rule over. Will Felicia be able to bring peace to the world, or will the kingdom crumble? For just one drop is never enough. Thanks for your votes and comments, they mean the world to me. Please help me with constructive criticism if you can! (Also, I suck at summaries, so sorry about that). Sequel 'Two More Drops' up now!

The Destiny of The Luna
This is book two of the series. The Fate of The Luna is the first book. This is not a stand alone book. You will need to read book one. The same warning from before is in this book as well. I look down at my fate. My destiny. My future. Liam pulls me flush to his side. "We'll figure this out," he promises to me, but I can't bring myself to believe it. I look at Katarina, who can not bring herself to look back at me. Her head just stays lowered. "Luna Jordan, we can change this. None of it is definite but let me fully explain what these say. I know that it looks scary, but it is beautiful too," she gives me a small smile. I nod my head and lower my eyes back down to the yellow papers. The air in the room shifts. I look back up to see Katarina hovering off the ground, her hair is flying above her in all twisted ways, and her jade green eyes are now shaded over with grey.Complete
1.1 | Edge Of Divinity ✔
She spent her entire life in servitude, raised to believe she was just ordinary - an insignificant speck in a world she's always been sheltered from. But one fated encounter is about to change her mundane existence forever, and she's all too willing to answer the call of her destiny. --------------------------------------------- Abandoned as an infant, Sahera has spent all her days at the beck and call of Mother Lucine, the matron of the convent she was raised in. Suffering exclusion and abuse from both her maternal figure and her sisters, she copes with the belief that this is the debt she owes. Keeping her head down makes her day to day more bearable, and as long as she has food and shelter, she shouldn't want for more. Still, she can't help but feel she doesn't belong in the slightest. It isn't until she meets the mysterious yet generous Roman that she begins to question if there's more to this miserable existence of hers. The last thing she expects is to be completely uprooted from her world and thrust into the treacherous yet beautiful reality he lives in. The mission he's on, accompanied by his four beautiful and intimidating guardians, seems like something beyond her wildest dreams. It certainly feels like fantasy when he reveals the role she supposedly plays in his life. Sahera eagerly rises to the challenge, but with ferocious foes she's never seen the likes of at every turn, crushing secrets ready to unfold, and her enigmatic past waiting to be revealed just on the horizon, will she be able to withstand all the trials and tribulations?Complete
