Book Blurb:
It was spring 1363, a cold morning. The fog was rolling in, Aiden looked closely but saw nothing. "Rylee, I don't doubt that you saw something, but now it's gone." Aiden placed his hand on Rylee's shoulder. Rylee pulled away. "I know what I saw, dammit, our father was here." Rylee began to pace. "He had the arrow I shot him with." Alistair walked over to where Rylee had pointed to where he had seen his father. With the hand on his sword, he was ready just in case Edward Hawke was waiting but Alistair saw no one. He searched the ground. "Aiden, you need to come see this." So the men hurried over. "Look footprints in the mud." Rylee caught sight of something lying in the bushes; it was a section of feathers from his arrow. "Look, this is from my arrow. You know these are my feathers." Aiden walked over. "Alright, let's go in before everyone gets worried, and no one says anything just yet of this, agreed." The guys looked at Aiden and agreed. So the men re-entered the manor house.

The Nights Song
Crescent Bloodfang (Cress Fang) was kidnapped along with her twin Terrance (Terry) at a young age. They grew up living with a human couple, one didn't know what they were, and the other was trained to kill them. Terrance had been dragged away from his friends by his twin sister, where Alex found them behind the bush. Since that day he's hated her and vowed to never consider her his sister again. Neither knew what was ahead of them. ~~~~ "Stay behind me, don't look at anyone or I'll tell Mr. Song and let him take care of you. Got it?" Terry growled softly, which should've been impossible for the humans surrounding us to hear, except one boy in particular looked at us studiously. The boy had artfully ruffled brown hair that matched his soft, curiosity filled brown eyes. He looked to be around my age, maybe a bit older, and it was clear he'd heard Terrance's threat. "Alright..." I mumbled softly, quickly averting my gaze to study the cracks in the pavement while my twin led the way inside the school building and to the principals office. I wondered what about me made the boy stare, and if I wanted to find out. ~~~~~~~~ Book 2 in Wolves of Astoria trilogy Can be read as a stand-alone Started: May 23, 2022 Completed: June 30, 2022Complete

I shake my head, eyes fixed anywhere but the gorgeous man next to me. His hand grips my chin tightly, just enough to make me avert my eyes to his. "You know you want this as much as I fucking do. I want you to be mine. I want to be the one to hold you and kiss you the one you go to whenever you're happy or fucking sad. But let it be me, let me fucking show you that it should be me." He glares, jaw tensing. ...... ©hessaherophineloveComplete
Attracted to His Cold
It wasn't really the result I was looking for. In fact, it was even better. I never really thought that this would happen to me. I never believed someone could love, well, me. But they did. He did. And despite his 'reputation', despite his lifestyle, despite everything everyone had ever told me, I loved him just as unconditionally. But will everything stay in harmony? How long will my paradise last for until my past comes back? Will they haunt me? Catch me? Kill me? "Livia? Tiago?" I ask, my voice breaking slightly. If they're here, then.... "Where is he? Where's-" "Gattina." All the breath in my lungs disappear as I turn to find the source of the voice. Half-way through my turn, I can see his dark silhouette at the end of the hallway. When I breathlessly say my next word, it feels as if I can breathe properly again for the first time in over a month. "Lupo." I run towards him without a second thought, sprinting full speed at him, and jump into his awaiting arms. He engulfs me in the warmest hug I've ever felt, entrapping me entirely - not that I mind. I cry in joy at finally being reunited with him as I bury my head into his neck, burrowing myself into him and vowing never to let him go again. Unwrapping myself from him, I look up at into his eyes. They're filled with love and relief, the same emotions I imagine my eyes are filled with. That quickly changes when his face contorts into one of pain. "Cole?" my brows furrow in confusion. He lets out a pained and strangled noise before he drops to his knees, collapsing at my feet. I gasp when I see Viktor behind him, holding a bloodied knife. A/N: Hey guys. Be prepared for dark themes, mature language, mature scenes, and so much more.

"I have always thought that the big bad wolf is angry because he is lonely," I teased, Seff threw his bow and arrow on the ground. I had incensed him. His obsidian black eyes threatened me; told me to stop before it was too late. "I am a dangerous man, I'm not even a man. I am a beast with a human mind. I am danger incarnated." He said, his voice gruff and I laughed. "I always thought that the poor wolf deserved a strong dangerous woman by his side. Come on Wolfie. We all know that behind every dangerous man is an even more dangerous woman. We can set this village on its back... Don't you want that?"

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.

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?

Covet
In a world dominated by werewolves, Odette leads a simple, human life until what was supposed to be the best day of her life, her wedding day, takes a nightmarish turn. Luca, a powerful world-leader and Alpha, claims her as his mate, which forces her into a desperate fight for her freedom. Now on the run, Odette encounters challenges that will test her wit and strength. Will she surrender to the relentless pursuit, or fight back? ~~~ I round the corner to see a group of freakishly-tall and handsome men. There were three men in the group, one instantly stood out to me even with his back toward me. He had deep black hair and I could tell strong lean muscles were hidden beneath his button-up shirt. I falter in my steps a bit, something in my mind telling me to go another way, to ask someone else for help with directions. But I keep walking closer. Something else within me tells me it will be okay. As I get closer, the two men who were facing my direction look towards me and I stop, keeping a safe distance. Hopefully they are able to help me, and not turn me away just because I'm a human. "Hi, um, could you tell me where the front desk is?" The man whose back was facing towards me stiffened. "I think I'm a little..." The man turned toward me so quickly it made my heartbeat waver. His deep blue eyes pierced into my brown ones and called out to me. His jawline was chiseled to perfection, lips parted slightly in awe. Every feature of his face was meticulously handcrafted by God. I never thought I could find a wolf so elegant. He was...beautiful. Something in the air shifted. I could feel it in my bones. "...lost," I finished my sentence after a brief pause. No one answered me. Did I say something wrong? I look between the three of them and see that the two men behind the man who was staring so intently at me were looking between me and him. "Mate."
