"Glass shattered, the pavement shook, screams pierced the dust filled air. And all I could think was, he found me."
In the distant future after the world wars decimated the earth's population, life in one corner of the world has broken into three sectors. The remaining rich and powerful live in Urbanus, the sole sector with cities and infrastructure still in tact. On the opposite side of the continent, Amaranthus is home to a remote grouping of peaceful settlements. And in between the two, Abditory; the most dangerous sector of all.
All out battles rage, and Bexley Brooks is thrust out of her hiding place as an old ally, and an old enemy, come crashing back into her life.
With loved ones separated and old wounds ripped opened, can Bexley survive a nearly impossible journey through a war zone in order to protect everything she holds dear? Or will a legendary weapon be unleashed upon the world once more?

Soul Mates
Watching Anna, she was actually down stairs sipping water quietly. I couldn't help but stare at her. Her usually midnight drink. "Thirsty." "Oh, uncle you startled me." She had backed away from me as I tried to touch her. I had been needing her touch more and more. "Why are you so afraid of me?" "What are you talking about?" She nervously giggled as she crept backwards. "I have notice a few things and well you cower at my touch. Tell me Anna, do I frightened you?" Have I in someway? I wondered. "No, uncle," she stepped closer to me pressing her palm on my chest proving that she is not the least bit frightened. "You don't scare me one bit." Her lips were smiling but her eyes had told me a different story. "The prove it." I was now leaning as she had licked her own lips. Fuck I want to taste those lips. "How." Her breath sent me shivers down my core. Further leaning in, I pulled her closer, my hand now firmly on her back as my lips made contact with hers. She hesitated at first, I could feel she was withdrawn but that didn't stop me from taking what I wanted. Kissing her made me forget. I know I shouldn't but I wanted to forget what I had lost. Is it wrong of me to think like that? But this kiss felt so right. Why? She felt perfect beneath me. At that moment I wanted more, I wanted everything she would give me. I wanted her. "What the fuck is going on here." The lights instantly turned on revealing a very pissed of Megan. "Megan I can explain." "How, when I just witness you kissing the one who had killed our child." ***** Do you believe in soul mate because we are destined to be with that one person that makes us whole....Complete![THE REASONS // Bellamy Blake - The 100 [book 3; inproces]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/395219197-256-k400203.jpg)
THE REASONS // Bellamy Blake - The 100 [book 3; inproces]
Book III: The Reasons - when the world ends, what's left to live for Three months have passed since the tragedy at Mount Weather, but the scars it left behind are still raw, still bleeding beneath the surface. The cost of survival is no longer measured in lives lost - but in souls shattered. Peace was promised, yet all they've found is silence where laughter used to be, tension where unity once stood. And for Madison, the silence has become deafening. The abuse she thought she left behind has only grown darker, more consuming. Every bruise hidden beneath layers of clothing, every glance over her shoulder, is a reminder that her war never really ended. She's been forced to run. Alone in the wilderness, hunted by those who want to take her power, she must find a way to survive with nothing but her instincts, her pain, and the crushing weight of guilt. All around her, the world teeters on the edge of collapse. A.L.I.E has risen from the shadows of the old world, a digital ghost with a god complex, whispering promises of peace through control, order through annihilation. The lines between right and wrong blur as survival grows more brutal, and each of them must face their own demons while trying to hold onto the last pieces of their humanity. Loyalties will be tested. Friendships will fracture. And love, in the face of such relentless loss, will be both a refuge and a battlefield. For Madison, the journey ahead is not just a fight for survival - it's a reckoning. Her addiction claws at her like a second skin, her guilt threatens to consume her from within. She is broken. But the fate of the human race may rest in her hands. And in the end, she must answer the hardest question of all: Can someone so damaged be the one to save them all?
The Lycan's Bargain
"Please help me... I'll do anything. I just want my mother to live." I cried, tears streaming down my face in torrents, my body trembling in fear. Kael stared down at me, his glowering eyes devoid of any emotion and a chill ran down my spine. "Anything, you say?" He asked, pointing the edge of his sword against my neck and I stiffened, refusing to breathe. "Anything... " I whispered, my voice small yet resolute. A corner of his lips quirked up, not quite forming a smile. "How about my slave?" ***** She was supposed to be his captive, not his salvation. When Aira sneaks into forbidden Lycan territory to save her mother, she is caught and thrown at the mercy of the ruthless Lycan King, Kael Drathlor. In a desperate bargain, she trades her freedom for her mother's life. But as she becomes the king's unwilling companion, Aira discovers a terrifying truth-Kael is cursed, unable to die, unable to feel the mate bond that should tie them together. As dark forces conspire against them and Kael spirals further into self-destruction, Aira must decide: escape and save herself, or risk everything for the beast who might never love her back. In a world where fate is both a gift and a curse, can she break the chains of destiny before it's too late? 1 in Kael on 24/4/2025 1 in Captive on 26/4/2025 2 in dreamlandbooks on 26/4/2025 1 in beautyandthebeast on 27/5/2025 1 in historicalromance on 30/5/2025 1 in werewolf on 05/10/2025Complete

Realm of the Rogues
"What are you?" He asks me, breaking the silence. I am quite shocked by this question. Mostly because I don't even know how to answer it. "Werewolf. I think... And you are a vampire," I state. He nods. "You don't smell like a werewolf." He lifts his hand to my neck, moving my hair aside, and looks at the bite mark on my shoulder. "And you don't taste like one." I breathe superficially, scared of what he might do next. "I would be lying if I said I didn't want to taste you again." He says, leaving his mouth slightly open. I just stare at him with wide scared eyes. He looks up from my wound and wink at me, causing him to smile a bit and show a fang. I blink a couple of times and swallow, trying to water my throat. He sees me struggling. "Need some extra saliva?" He almost laughs at me...
