Years ago, the Brimstone Faction was set into chaos. Once loyal to their cause, they protected an artifact known as the Devil's Crown for centuries, ensuring its location was kept a secret and its power never unleashed. But as time passed, the Faction eventually fell into corruption, seeking to wield the Crown themselves and to control the fabric of life and death.
Many years have passed since the Faction was torn, and both those allegiant to the Faction and those corrupted have gone into hiding, preparing their next move. But when a strange figure sends a warning of an imminent cataclysm, drastic events are set into motion. The corrupted ones have finally resurfaced and begun their last push to take the Crown for themselves.
Meanwhile, an explorer named Hugo Chance stumbles upon the warning and is forced to also help the allegiants. But as he delves deeper in the midst of chaos and deception, he discovers a truth that may jeopardize the allegiants entire cause.

the prize of his love ( discontinued to be rewritten )
( discontinued to be rewritten ) Huntingtown was panicking; no one knew where the sirens were coming from. There was no electricity, and there was no way for the storm Sirens to be sounding, yet they were. The entire Town was awake; everyone had a weapon. They had grabbed guns, knives, swords, and bats if they could be wielded and used for self-defense; Renee aimed her rifle at the trees, looking desperately for an explanation. Why would a siren sound? They only sounded when they were in Danger, so where was the Danger? When the predators revealed themselves, that was where the siren noise was coming from. Renee could feel her heart jump into her throat. Her face went pale; they were here. They had found the Town. Terror and panic soon swept Huntingtown; everyone knew what those monsters could do. After all, they did conquer the planet and impose the "choosing." Huntingtown was created hoping that its isolation in a cold climate would keep the Predators away, but it didn't. A voice came over those speakers. A male voice Gruff and laced with a growl. It was almost as if whoever was speaking was annoyed and angry. "Although I have enjoyed seeing your little Town outmaneuver many hunters. I am afraid this is where your little games end. However, I will give you a chance to keep your freedom. A hunt. You will be red by your best hunter, Renee Madison." Renee felt her blood go cold as she stared wide-eyed at the ship. She was unknowingly dropping her gun at the news. " she will be your leader; she will be my prize. You have a time advantage. Go!" The ship took off, looking for a place to land, all while the news sank into the Town's residence. Renee had known she had fucked up when she fired at one of those predators and hit him. She had proven herself worthy of the hunt. Now she has to face the consequences, not only her but her entire Town had to. Renee had to win this hunt; the fate of her Town depended on it.Complete

To slaughter as many demons as he could to avenge his family. It didn't even matter if they were taken over by a virus or not. He would still kill them.

KIDNAPPED
The vines always grow back. Reneè never wanted to be a hero. She just wanted to survive. After witnessing a brutal murder tied to the infamous Mr. Carlisle, seventeen-year-old Reneè becomes the last living witness-and his next target. Carlisle is a ghost, a myth whispered in the city's underbelly, and his influence reaches far beyond the shadows. With her aunt branding her a monster and her only friend vanished, the police are her only hope. But when Officer Jones takes her in for protection, Reneè realizes too late: safety is an illusion when you come face to face with the devil himself, Mr. Carlisle. Police protection is like a child's game to him. Now, trapped in a web of corruption, betrayal (from her aunt, mostly) and manipulation, Reneè must outrun Carlisle's empire. The world she knew has fallen away, leaving her isolated in a dangerous game where the rules are his alone. Because the vines of his influence are everywhere-some might be in the judge's gavel, the neighbor's smile, even the hands that promise to protect her. He is a master manipulator, pulling strings that control her fate and her heart. And the deeper she fights, the tighter they coil. But when the vines start growing inside her mind, who's really trapped? Is it her, bound by his obsessive world, or is it him, tethered by a desire he never saw coming? The pictures that you'll find in here aren't mine. The credits belong to their rightful owners.
For the Taking ✅
The girl with no wolf. An extra mouth to feed. A liability. A defenseless miscreation. Seraphina had heard it all. She had felt it all too. The bone aching bruises, the defenseless claw scratches just shy of her neck on the edges of her collarbone, she had seen it all too. It had been so long since it had started that she couldn't recall a time when the degradation was compliments and not insults. Now, it was all she ever expected. If she had known five years ago that not having a wolf would cause this much hate she would have begged her parents to move to another pack. It felt like an eternity since it all happened. Or rather what didn't happen. She still could not shift. She was defective. A mistake in the gene pool. But she didn't know she would end up like this. She couldn't have, just like she couldn't have expected to come face to face with the Alpha Slayer. A man casted in shadow. Not many had ever seen his face, but that didn't make him any less real. Alphas after all were dethroned from the likes of him. Word spreads quickly. So, when Seraphina ends up in his line of sight she has a lot more to figure out than just not having a wolf, because it very well might cost her, her life.

The Queen's Slave (Book 1)
"So." She mused, sliding one black nail across her lip in a sensual caress as she stared at me with eyes the color of molten gold. "You are the one they call Huntress." Disregarding the pain in my side from the most recent beating, I straightened my shoulders and stood tall, my chin jutting out in defiance. "Yes." "Mm." Those intriguing eyes watched me from her languid position on the throne. "But, you are not just a huntress, are you?" I allowed the predatory instincts I usually worked so hard to keep hidden, to surface, feeling the burning of my eyes and shifting of bones under my skin. A slow grin slid across my face as my beast stared back at her through my human skin. The Queen didn't react to my sudden change of character, instead choosing to lean forward in interest. "How fascinating." • Once, the world was ruled by humans and technology. They were governed by a president that made choices for all. Vampires, werewolves alike hid their existence from the humans for centuries, blending in as a whole. Now, they hid no more. States are now territories governed by kings and queens, humans are regarded and used for no more than their blood and body before they are discarded and forgotten. Werewolves and vampires were at war, and it was said that the wolves had all been but snuffed out, save for one. When Adira is captured while hunting outside her homeland, she is unexpectedly sold to the Queen in the North. Wolf blood is sacred, it is said to hold inexplainable powers, and as the only wolf-borne known to humans and vampires alike, Adira fears for her life. Thrown into a world governed by everything she's been trained to hate, Adira fights for her rightful place in the world, a seat at the Queen's side. But proving her worth won't be easy, the price for failure is her life.Complete

The Claimed
They said the Hunt was sacred. That if I was chosen, it meant fate. But fate didn't feel like a mouth on my skin or claws at my back. It felt like blood. Mine. For years, I stayed hidden. Quiet. Unclaimed. I stole seeds from the state fields, grew food in secret, fed my family from soil and silence. I did everything right - stayed beneath their radar, beneath their noses. I didn't make waves. I didn't ask for more. But monsters never forget a scent. And when the Hunt came, I was scented. Tracked. Taken. I stabbed him. I buried the blade in his shoulder and watched him bleed. It didn't matter. Because he still bit me. And the world saw. Now my face is on every screen. The girl who didn't run. The girl who fought back. Some call me a rebel. Some call me a mate. But they all forget one thing. I wasn't made to be claimed. I was made to survive. And if they want to collar me, cage me, crown me - they'll have to reckon with everything I've kept buried beneath the roots. Because I am not the flower. I'm the fire beneath it.

Apathy drenched my voice as I took out my phone to text the contact Scarlett sent. He steps closer to me, every step worsening this intense and immediate agitation towards him.
