Meredith had always known about magic. Her family was magic, one of the most powerful mage lines out there. Having lost her parents to all the fighting though, she stayed far away from it, focusing on school and lading a primarily normal life.  

Until magic came knocking on her door.   

Someone in her family murdered one of the Shade vampires, and under treaty law, they must offer up a life in exchange. Mages are too precious, too valuable, but a single girl who refused to dance to their tune, well, not as much. Meredith is thrust into the world of the dark as a sacrifice to pay for her family's crimes, and she finds herself at the mercy of a cold vampire who hungers for her body and soul

Somethings are inescapable. 

The dark past of her parents who she's never met. 

The power of creatures that thrive in the night.

The call and will of magic she's fled from.

While Meredith may not have signed up for the world of magic and the clash between the vampires and mages, she is now deep in the murky waters that divide the two. What lies in her family's past? Can she figure out the man who is now her owner? What does she do when her magic finally awakens and breaks free like a desperate animal free of its chains?

One can run from magic, but it always gives chase.

"You were made for me. And I, for you." His breath is right beside my ear and I tightly shut my eyes closed. He leans down closer. "I was made to love you. To fuck you," My breath catches at the last part. I'm suddenly thinking naughty things and I can't help it. I'm imagining him taking me in his office. On this desk. Feeling what his tongue would taste like. He pulls back lightly and deeply inhales. If possible, his eyes darken even more. They're almost as dark as the night. "I know you want me too, Adira." ****************************************************** Strong. Intimidating. Cunning. Resilient. All characteristics that he embodies. Klayton was a storm, and she was the rainbow that followed the chaos. Moving into the small town of Myersdale to start her first year of University, Adira has no idea what destiny has in store for her. She expected the crazy parties, the relentless homework, and all of the sleepless nights. Adira Hayes did not expect him.

34 parts Complete Mature
Bloodlines of Fate Caitlin Brioche always believed she was just an ordinary girl-until the truth came crashing down around her. For sixteen years, she lived under her grandmother's watchful eye, sheltered from the outside world, never understanding why she was kept hidden. But secrets have a way of unraveling, and when Caitlin finally steps beyond the confines of her small-town life, she discovers the chilling reality of her family's past. A curse, generations old, runs through her blood. A darkness that has haunted her ancestors now awakens within her, threatening to consume everything she knows. As Caitlin's reckless thirst for freedom leads her into dangerous territory, she finds herself entangled in a world she never believed existed-a world of shadows, secrets, and creatures of the night. At the center of it all is Hunter-a brooding, dangerously alluring vampire whose presence both terrifies and excites her. He awakens something deep inside her, an undeniable hunger that has nothing to do with fear. But as their passion ignites, another truth is revealed. With enemies lurking in the darkness, Caitlin is thrust into a battle she never asked for. Ancient forces want her dead. Powerful creatures seek to use her for their own sinister purposes. And the two men who now dominate her life-one her lover, the other her blood-will do anything to keep her safe. As her world spins out of control, Caitlin must decide: Will she run from her fate, or will she embrace the darkness within? Some love is forbidden. Some bloodlines are cursed. And some destinies... are inescapable.

[Completed] Every Wolf Moon, humans are selected from each village to be sacrificed to the werewolves; creatures worshipped by humans as godlike figures. In a twist of fate, seventeen year old Mila Young is selected to be the annual sacrifice for the Trinity pack, the most powerful pack ruled by King Alpha Roman Stone. Alpha Roman and all werewolves under his rule are cursed. His hatred for the humans and his war on the deity Moon Goddesses has caused his kind to lose the favor of their blessings. However, when Mila reveals herself to have a connection to the werewolves unlike anything a human has ever had before, it becomes apparent that she may be the key to ending the suffering of Roman and his wolves... if only he can overcome the lifelong hatred that clouds his mind and darkens his heart. Excerpt: "You smell like wolf," The King Alpha declared, his voice low and angry. "I killed one," I both explained the smell and threatened at the same time. "And you think you can kill me? You think you can take my pack?" I glanced around at all the lycans still in their wolf forms, bowing obediently towards me. Could I take all of them on? I doubted it. I didn't even think I'd get this far. I didn't even know what was going on. When I turned back to the King Alpha, he was significantly closer. "Stay back!" I cried out in fear. The power flared within me once more, lifting whimpers from around me. The King Alpha hesitated again, his eyes skating over me with confusion. He took a deep breath, sniffing the air around me as he hadn't yet gotten any closer. "You smell like... my mate." {{Warning: Some scenes may be unsuitable for audiences below the age of 15 and offensive to those of all ages. Read at your own risk.}} Rankings: #1 in Lycans #1 in wolf
