One day, on a day like any other, he is taken over by a mysterious magic, a magic that quickens his blood, strengthens his bones, and bestows him with godlike strength and speed.
Rane is just beginning to learn how to control his new power when he is attacked by his rival, who is a rich merchant's son and the nephew of the Bishop, a man of untold power and corruption. He is captured and his family taken by the Bishop, and must escape and set out to find the one man who can help him protect his mother and sister.
Bren, the son of a wizard, is learning how to control his powers, and has become adept very quickly in a short amount of time. Things are looking up for him when he crosses paths with a powerful sorcerer, a man who has decided to teach him the secrets of magic.

Mark of the Wolf (mxm)
Alone. Naked. Cold. Covered in blood that is just as likely to be mine as someone else's. I don't know who I am, where I am, or what I'm running from. All I get are flashes, snippets of dark shadows, sneering faces. Pain always follows these nightmares, these memories. I was found, taken in, but I have no way of knowing if I only escaped the frying pan just to jump into the fire. I don't understand these people, these wolves. They don't understand me, either. Our words mean nothing to each other, they're no more than sounds. We use gestures, facial expressions, body language like the beasts we seem to be. I can only pray these beasts are not the same ones I'm running from. -This story has depictions of violence, depression, panic attacks, gore. Please read at your own discretion- Highest rankings thanks to all of you wonderful readers! : #2 in "Ice" #3 in "Werecat" #18 in "Loss" #19 in "Neko"

(This is targeted for people 16+) "Same with hurting you. Or marking you.." He slid his arm gently down to his back, closing his hand around a bruise that lay on the hero's waist.

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.

Return of the Demon Sovereign (Book 2) [MxM]
[BOOK 2] [COMPLETED] This is a continuation of the first novel, and it is recommended that you read Return of the Demon Sovereign: Udanfold [MxM] before starting this one. •••• In the aftermath of their tireless wars against the Devils in the depths of Undanfold, Erebus and Leo find themselves in the realm of Halrland.

Erebus, haunted by the memories of his past as the Demon Sovereign, is in a constant battle to keep his identity hidden. The revelation of his true self would not only endanger his life but also the lives of those who stand by him. His inner turmoil is further complicated by the presence of Jericho and Kore and their plots to destroy Shadowbane. However, they must also face the greatest threat to the realms: the Titans. Their awakening could engulf the realms in chaos and destruction. Erebus and Leo must find a way to thwart Jericho and Kore's schemes while preparing for the imminent threat of the Titans. In Halrland, alliances will be tested, secrets will be unveiled, and the battle for survival will reach new heights.
