Six years. Six years since Alyse had first come to Carnevale Manor. Six years since she'd left behind the human world for dazzling beauty, flashing lights, and powers that defy reality. At Carnevale, Alyse helps run the Masquerade, a nightly party filled with laughing and dancing and ending with blood. She serves the Masquemistress, who acts lovingly to Alyse, and the Gamemaster who loves her in a different way. In just six years, Alyse has built a new life here with a new family who she'd do anything to protect. But tensions are running high between the masqueraders and their masters, and it comes to a head with an attack on her family. And so Alyse is left to choose. Safety, or that of others? Stability, or the lives of those she loves? In the heart of deception and duplicity, the masks are coming off. And the fallout is irrevocable.All Rights Reserved

With the Age of Dragons long dead, only the four runes promise absolution. Days after Cateline wakes from a years-long magical sleep, she is faced with the daunting task of marrying off so her home can be rid of the curse burned into her neck. Mere hours after her scandalous arrangement with the only courter her age-a promise of freedom and safety-the masquerade descends into bloodshed, and she is thrust into a new kingdom with uncertain threats. Safe within the walls of Lighthelm Academy of Magic, Cateline must harness her long-suppressed powers, unravel the Dragon's Prophecy that threatens to doom the world as they knew it, and discern friend from foe as those closest to her unravel the delicate web of lies she'd built to protect herself from the enemies her father had made. As her new identity start to fall apart, the only friends she'd ever truly known start to turn on her. With uncertain allies and dangerous enemies, her struggle evolves from mastering magic to sheer survival. Alliances shift, and kingdoms clash. Only a love that dares to defy destiny can turn the tide.

Soon, even she can't deny that there must be some greater power pushing her into the lives of Lord Anthony, and his lovely little niece, Mary. With dark games and questionable decisions, can Ella face her own fate? Or will she crumble under the weight of her own choices?

Masked ✔ by AlwaysWillTry

* * * "...Why are you following me?" I only muttered in case no one was really there. I didn't want any surrounding people to think I was crazy and just imagining someone behind me.

He was wearing a mask. * * * Saved from a rapist by a pirate. At first, Vivienne sees pirates as scums. She believes all of them are full of greed. Well, Vivienne isn't completely wrong.

He's a part of the crew, but the only time he appears is during the masquerade parties. She tries to figure out who he is, but she struggles badly.

Lycan Blood/Editing (#2 book to the Lycan series!) by BloodyArrow_358

((A/N)) If you haven't read "Lycan King" you should definitely read it for a better understanding of "Lycan Blood." or you can just read this book and go back and read "Lycan King" your choice. ********* ***** ** I follow closely behind Lucious through the dark forest, looking at his tensed back. "I was only helping. I know you're angry Lucious, but you can't go around doing whatever you want anymore. My father has laws in place for these types of things." If Lucious would've wiped that pack out, he would've had to answer to father for his crimes. Lucious turn around glaring at me. "Don't tell me what I can and cannot do! I don't give a fuck about your father nor his laws! He's not my fucking king!" He spits the words at me, before turning walking away. I let out a sigh, looking at his back as he disappears through the thick trees of the forest. He may not accept father as his king, but that doesn't mean father won't punish him for the laws he breaks. ************** ************ ******** **** After all the killing and fighting, Lisa just wants for things to go back to the way they once were, but the peacefulness of her old life back in the human world is long gone. Lisa is now shoved into the world that she was always meant to be a part of. She's no longer in the human world, living by the human ways and laws. Here its killed or be killed. While Lisa fight for her respect amongst the wolves, Lucious is planning to get revenge for the death of his father and friends.
