Orion and his siblings were the first of a new breed of dragons. The living symbols of American pride and national power; trapped in bondage to protect their captive mother. But when a feral dragon aiding the Confederacy offers Orion the hope of liberating his family, he must first abandon them and serve her instead.
But she is less certain of her desires and with far more at stake. As the contested messiah of the wild dragons, none more skeptical than herself, that reputation has given her the opportunity to secure her dying culture legitimacy by establishing a nation of their own.
But there are two roads to this glorious future.
The first is the way of honor, where the dragon colonies fight and die alongside men in a grand alliance in the hope that their allies will show their gratitude rather than once again turn arms upon their weakened allies.
The other is a treacherous route of deceit and betrayal, where a drawn out and ruinous war leaves the already divided nation of men in turmoil and ruins, unable to oppose the solidifying of draconic power in the west.

Alpha Orion
Reylin has survived what most could not. Fierce, free-spirited, and unbreakably strong-willed, she's one of the last humans still alive and free. She was only thirteen when the Lycans-monsters cloaked in flesh and fangs-descended from the shadows and took everything. Her parents. Her home. Her safety. Now, ten years later, Reylin is a warrior in one of the last hidden human settlements, with only her younger brother left to protect. She refuses to bow. Refuses to break. And she'd rather die than become a slave to the beasts who ruined her world. But survival gets harder by the day. The Lycans are not just strong. They're fast, brutal, and natural-born predators. Since the Great War, they've established a merciless new order-one where humans are hunted, enslaved, or wiped out entirely. And Reylin's time is running out. When her village is raided by Lycan soldiers, she risks everything to protect her brother only to be captured by the infamous Alpha of the North. Alpha Orion. Crowned in blood and forged in war, Orion is one of the ruthless Alpha who led the Lycans to victory. A cold and calculated killer, he sees humans as weak, defiant creatures undeserving of breath. He doesn't hesitate to crush rebellions, burn settlements, and extinguish hope. Until her. The defiant human girl who won't bow, who tried to kill him. The one his beast calls mate. Orion is disgusted by the bond, repulsed by the idea of being tied to a human, but his instincts scream to claim her, protect her, destroy anything that touches her. And when secrets from the war begin to surface, loyalty is tested, and bloodlines come into question, one thing becomes terrifyingly clear: He may hate her kind. But he will burn the world before letting her go.Concluida
MYTHIC LEGENDS: FLAME AND EMPIRE
The war storms at the Frontier... The gods are broken. The empire is burning. And the end has already begun. A warrior with no past unleashes power no mortal should wield. A young ruler clings to a dying crown as his people lose faith. A chaos mage, feared and revered, walks with death in her shadow. Amongst their ranks-two Rifter siblings, wilders of ruin, benders of space and time. Feared. Watched. Leashed by the most powerful. But even under chains, love blooms... and loyalty begins to shift. When the empress falls into a cursed slumber-her unborn child the last ember of prophecy- the empire sends its strongest into the Abyss of Lost Quintessence: A place where even time forgets itself, where silence hungers, and where One of the Roots of the Umbrovyn Tree stands-ancient, cracked, and bleeding memory. Monstrosities roam, daring to strike in daylight. The veils whisper betrayal. Alliances splinter. Some stand frozen, unsure of their next move- fearing one wrong step may provoke the wrath of a dominion vast as a world and cruel as the gods who forged it. Old gods stir, craving redemption through ruin. The Royal House fractures beneath betrayal. A founding father, long patient, now bares their intent- to seize the throne by force, by cunning, by wagering all that is. Their House's malice toward the flawed Royal line can no longer be cloaked. Love will test loyalty. Legends will bleed. And in the dying light of Ether-Space- The Aurora must not fall... Or all realities will burn. 🔥
For All of Dragonkind: The Beginning
First, there was existence. Then, creation. And finally, life. Organisms started to exist and live on the insignificant planet known as Earth in the middle of a galaxy out of the endless void that is space. Two races gained a gift all other creatures don't have: intelligence. Humanity and Dragonkind. Dragonkind was gifted with power and strength, while humanity had dexterity and creativity, always hungry for knowledge. However, when a conflict threatens to destroy the world, dragons become the definition of beasts and humans become nearly helpless to survive the onslaught or become monsters themselves. As the planet closes on its own destruction, a child born of both universes will be either the last light of hope to end the bloodshed once and for all or become its greatest threat to not only Earth, but possibly the whole universe. As two beings run from death itself, their child must survive not just to save Humanity, but all of Dragonkind as well. (Author: This story and others have been living rent-free in my head for a while. My own dark take on the "war, but with dragons" concept, this is the start of an anthology of stories. All will contain a variety of genres. This story has gore, swearing, deaths, and strong references to sex. This and the other stories in the anthology will not be for the faint of heart.)Concluida
Ascendance
{Book 2} When falling, we learn how to fly. When a star falls, it means a wish has been granted. Some just so happen to have fallen in love while others fell to their demise. Descend to ascend once more. Let the sun, moon, and stars be our wings. An infinite light of radiance exists beyond the darkness. It isn't the dark that is bad, it's the evilness hiding within tainting its beauty. Everything which exists shines brighter amidst the night. Fight with all your might and take flight to what is right.- Mia B. Geminius, cover made by me Eleven star constellations: A fallen angel warrior 2 archangels 1 human star 7 deadly sins They need the 12th star to stop Achernar Crosswell, a contaminated star that fell who was once human, being consumed by darkness, lost all humanity turning into a demon. He wants to reign hell on earth to destroy the planet due to his hatred for humankind. Orion with his star related brother Rigel, Esther, & Cassiopeia join forces with the seven deadly sins to defeat evil. With good, there is always evil to balance this world out. Evilness doesn't always have to win if goodness overpowers. We don't need to see God to believe. God is the universe. We see, hear, and feel God all around us. As long as you have God in your heart, no evil shall ever enter, your heart, mind, & soul. When you wish on a shooting star, your wishes come true. Stars wish upon stars too. God gifts them blessings to have consciousness. (Thank you for your precious time, please pardon a few typos.

He's My Mate
CAUTION CONTAINS MATURE CONTENT. "Say it, Allison," he said, his voice low as he trapped me against the rough wall. A shiver ran down my spine, his voice pulling at me, the power in it making me want to do anything he asked. I shook my head, afraid my voice might betray me. His teeth lightly grazed my neck causing a sigh to get past my lips. I could feel him smile against my skin. He knew he was going to get what he wanted one way or another. I tried to slip away, but he grabbed my wrists, pinning them down tightly. He pressed his hard body against me. I was aware of every inch of him that was touching me. "Don't think you can just leave. We're not done yet." My stomach tightened at his words, the desire inside burning for him. My damn body at war with my mind yet again. He slid his hand up to the edge of my shorts, slowly working it's way up as his mouth trailed small nips from my neck to my collar bone and lower, stopping only when he reached the fabric. I could feel my resolve weakening as his hand reached its destination. "Say it," he demanded. I moaned, my head tipping back as he moved expertly. I wanted to say it then, I really did. But if I said the words, there was no going back. ***************** Allison Cole has just turned seventeen. Most girls would be excited, but she doesn't see it as anything special. She can now find her mate, wherever he is. But she doesn't put much stock in mates or true love. How could something like that be predetermined?

For years, dragonkind and humankind had been at war, alternating between short-lived truces and all out warfare. In this age, however, humankind had subdued the proud dragonkind and turned them into slaves. Brands seared into their arms with the mark of a weeping dragon; the symbol of their defeat. Darin vehemently hated the mistreatment of the dragonkind, and when a branded runaway boy crossed his path, he made him his apprentice to protect him. Something had to be done. But in a strange turn of events, Darin found himself the leader of a peculiar band of travelers: His new apprentice, a brooding warrior, and an elven healer. Although he rarely traveled with others, he began to enjoy it as a long-term arrangement as days turned into weeks. Yet Amaredeia was still healing its war-ravaged wounds, and the cries of rebellion and anguish rose again. Could he really continue denying the calls of his apprentice's people?

" She stuttered cutely. I chuckled. "Let me remind you. Your stomach will not be the only thing I will be staring at. There are so many places where I want to stare. For example, your pretty long legs, your creamy stomach, and your enticing blue eyes, small but cute nose, and your luscious lips which are, right now, begging me to kiss them, soft and hard, without letting you to breath." I said, whispering the last sentence in her ears, while she held on to my tunic tightly, as if she would fall, if she were to let go. "S-Stop." She said, softly, as I chuckled at her shyness. ••• Ranking: 27/08/2022 3# in King and Queen 13/10/2022 1# In king and queen 20/02/2023 5# In Goddess 11/06/2023 1# in King And QueenConcluida
Render Me Starless
[COMPLETED] "Are you trying to get into my pants, Orion?" His eyes flash gold as he looks at me. "Yes." *** It's long since been told that the stars were story tellers. That the stars held knowledge that no one had. It was time for Maria to find out how true this really was. *** I suppose being forced to stay with a complete stranger sucks. It sucks even more when nothing makes sense. It doesn't help when I am stuck with an obnoxious, cocky and hot man. Orion. Even his name provoked a plethora of feelings. Nervousness. Dread. Wanting to shove a stick up his ass. Maybe even kiss his kissable lips. Orion. Just meeting him had been out of the norm. Then I was shoved. Shoved hard. Shoved into a world that causes my body to sweat and have goosebumps all over at the same time. A world that gave me things I never knew I wanted. A world I had yet to discover. Oh, it was time alright. Time to Render the world Starless. Cover by: @sofkissesConcluida
