Mason Marks is a screw up.
Every day is a struggle to cough up enough money for rent, to ignore the reek of despair flooding the streets, to stop himself from slipping further into the shadows and slums of Downtown L.A.
And he is sick of it.
When he's kidnapped by a creature seemingly taken straight out of folklore, his world is flipped upside down--quite literally.
There, he is rescued by two strangers who are part of an organization tasked with keeping the peace between the two words: Earth and the land of folklore, Somnium.
Though Mason stumbles to find his footing in a world where fantasy and reality walk side by side, he is nothing but determined. Mason has no choice but to fight for both worlds.
To fight against the oppressors, those who claim to be on his side, his doubts, and his own inner darkness.

Equilibrium
Lightning Elf Zenneth Valgustus has spent his life in the human world, trading ancient power for circuit boards and satellite schematics. To his influential family-who built their m-tech empire atop a legacy of sealed magic-his career as an electrical engineer is nothing short of disgraceful. But Zen prefers soldering irons to boardrooms, and freedom to the Valgustus name. Then Kevyn Fuego walks back into his life. An ex-Peace Corp airman with fire in his blood and warmth in his smile, Kevyn is the one person Zen never stopped wanting. Their reunion should be simple. It isn't. A single act of corporate espionage drags Zen into the shadows of his family's corruption, unraveling secrets that threaten both the magical and human worlds. As the danger escalates, Kevyn refuses to leave Zen's side-sparking old feelings, new loyalties, and a bond powerful enough to scorch through any lie. But General Sion Nox has ambitions that burn hotter than fire and strike faster than lightning. With alliances forming between rival Elven clans, Unseelie Fairies, and a ruthless human politician, the world teeters on the edge of chaos. To stop a global catastrophe, Zen must confront the legacy he fled-and decide whether love is worth stepping back into the storm.Complete

Daegelus | Volume One: Subject 0333
• Book 1 • While hunting for his missing friend, Elijah stumbles upon a fiery journalist, who so happens to be looking for the same people as him: the doctors who experimented on him when he was a child. But when the two are forced to go on the run together, Elijah's healing wounds are opened, and he realizes that Lyca Corp. took more than his childhood. ⊳⊱ ♕ ⊰⊲ The moment Elijah escaped from the lab where he unwillingly spent the past thirteen years of his life, he planned to live up to his promise: he'd find Haru, the only thing that kept him sane growing up. But with no idea where Lyca Corp. transferred him, Elijah hunts down the former doctors who made his life hell in search of answers. After chasing his next lead, however, Elijah accidentally rescues Zoe, a journalist locked in his target's trunk. He has no choice but to bring her and her roommate, Jake, along with him as he flees the city to avoid capture. But as he continues his search, Elijah struggles with the scars Lyca Corp. burned into him. He has no idea who or what he is; he doesn't understand the power raging inside his bodyーthe power Lyca Corp. desperately tried to pry from him. Why does he have an insatiable bloodlust? What does the whispering voice inside his head want? And why does he feel as though a huge part of him has been torn away? ❅ LGBTQ characters ❅ Dystopian Urban Fantasy ❅ Supernatural World Conspiracy ❅ Word Count: 137,000 ─────────────────────────────────── ✵ Numenverse year: 1335 **April 2024 Editor's Pick **#3 in Werewolf 5/4/2024 **#1 in GayRomance 5/4/2024 **#12 in Werewolf 31/5/2025 2023-2025 © Tate Csernis | | Series is exclusive to WattpadComplete

Vicious Fangs (Mystic Bonds #1) | COMPLETED
❝ Let's find you a new home, shall we? ❞ •○• A cold Shifter General. A bloodthirsty Vampire Prince. A powerful Fae King. A mysterious protective werewolf Alpha. And a human girl. The question was - why were the strings of fate bringing them together? •○• 18 year old, sharp and vigilant Cara Arnel was one step away from slavery freedom and being sold. And being caught by the Shifter General of the Vampire Army was most certainly not a part of that plan. Nor was becoming a scullery maid or an assaulted slave in the Royal Palace instead of a blood bag or sex slave. But that was when things started to change. Tensions became high and fights broke out in the unstable supernatural world with the return of Lucifer's son: Killian after more than four centuries. Her visions started again. And a bit too many supernatural males were willing to protect her for no reason whatsoever. Turns out, Cara might not be as insignificant as she thought. Yet, she was undoubtedly human. And it seemed, she wasn't as well informed of her past as she thought. If her memories were the ones to be relied upon. At least.......the ones she had of this life. •○• Shortlisted for Wattpad India Awards 2021 (Please don't copy the story line. It's all mine. A figment of my imagination.

THERON (Book III In The Ancients Series) ✔
(Please read Theron 1 before moving on to this book) A stranger washes ashore on a deserted beach. With no memory of who or what he is, the only clue he has to his identity--the only thing he recalls from his past life--is a single, solitary name: Lina. But on a planet with over seven billion inhabitants, his only chance of finding her rests solely within the hands of Fate itself... and the help of a sassy, young street rat. A child's life hangs in the balance--a child whose blood is so unique it has the power to change the course of the future for one group of supernaturals in particular... and this group doesn't howl at the moon. For Lina and the other Ancients, a new war is brewing and in a very literal sense. This battle will not be fought with bullets and teeth like the massacre at Superlunar, but rather with magic and wit and maybe a little divine intervention. So, how do you fight an evil you can't touch? How do you stop a weapon you can't see? And how to you protect the ones you have no memory of loving? Easy! You have to remember what you don't know you knew... You have to remember who you are... You just have to remember. ⚠️ This story is marked "Mature" for a reason.

Love is his business, but he's seen how it can destroy lives and is determined not to fall himself. When Declan receives his next assignment, the target is the last person he ever expected: his sassy neighbor and laundry-room companion, Bree Logan--the one girl in the world that he secretly wants for himself. Declan doesn't want to set her up with the love of her life, but he knows if he turns down the job, someone else will. He decides on a third option: take the assignment and sabotage her matches.

❝we barely knew each other and now it's like we have this kinda bond. no one's really mentioned it but i know we all feel it. i dunno shit about true friendships but i feel like we all made some and lost some this week.❞ (¯'*•.¸,¤°'✿.｡.: *.:｡.✿'°¤,¸.•*'¯) On the annual school trip to Disney World, Akanke Donovan (resident player of Acadia High School) decides to make the week a bit more interesting by adding the classic party game Truth or Dare to the adventure. The results are something beyond the wildest stretches of her imagination. The players of the game are the first of the strange events. There's the girl Akanke's hooking up with on the regular, the nerdy guy friend whose favorite color is galaxy and has weekly summaries of The Outsiders on hand, his best friend (whose trip will be ruined if the Shrek soundtrack isn't played at least once), her motherly friend, a quiet girl with a taste for music that's played at a ridiculous volume, a boy who probably does drugs (emphasis on 'probably'), and the referee of the game (who's really bad at her job). And that's only Day One. From dates to betrayals to "All Star" by Smash Mouth, the seven days that eight teens spend together are full of adventure and excitement that no one will be forgetting any time soon. 【Completed September 20, 2018】 (¯'*•.¸,¤°'✿.｡.: *.:｡.✿'°¤,¸.•*'¯) Brief warnings for: Brief homophobia, strong language, underage drinking, brief use of cigarettes AWARDS/ACHIEVEMENTS: FIRST PLACE in The Piggyback Summer 2019 Awards (General Fiction) // July 2019 Honorable Mention in The Creativity Awards 2019 (Teen Fiction) // June 2019 Now FEATURED in @YA 's "Clueless" Reading List // August 2019Complete
