The Royal Family
What if Anna had survived and married Gabriel? And what if they were immortal? What if they modernized themselves as the centuries passed and Eve was their daughter? What would happen if Eve was mortal and her parents kept their entire life a secret? How are the Van Helsings connected to the library? And what happens when Eve is recruited to be Flynn's guardian? Anna and Gabriel have changed their last names throughout the years to keep people from recognizing them and realizing they're immortal. It allows for them to still live in the outside world without seeming suspicious. They decided when Eve was born and since she's mortal, it was safer for her to never know of their true past. To never know of the royal family line or of creatures of myth or of magic. As time went on, the couple befriended those from the library and worked with them until Anna gave birth. They're constantly updated on who the librarian is and who the guardian is. And after finding out about Anna's pregnancy, Gabriel rejoined the army as Gabriel Baird. He missed hunting monsters and going out on missions with his wife. But wanting to keep some past family history alive through Eve without her ever really knowing the truth, rejoining the army helped. Eve wanted to follow in her father's footsteps joining the army when she was older. So Anna allowed for Gabriel to teach her how to fight keeping the fighting to modernized weapons and combat. And now as Eve is an adult working NATO counterterrorism as a colonial, she resigns herself to be single the rest of her life. But what happens when she meets Flynn Carsen? The library and her parents' past along with her real heritage comes to light. How will she take being a royal princess and half arch angel? How will these heritages affect her as a colonial and guardian? And how will they affect her love for Flynn? Story follows most of the show's timeline with the exception of Gabriel having been the one to kill Dracula in the nineteenth century
Alpha Obsession
Before school even begins, 17-year-old Jake Kent is attacked by an enormous gray wolf. He's saved by a mysterious blonde, but things get even more unbelievable when he watches the wolf transform into a human. When he sees this woman is a teacher at his new school, you'd think Jake would file for a transfer, but he doesn't. Jake Kent isn't the damsel in distress that so many would expect; he wont run from the mystery. He hasn't told anyone about the attack, but he hasn't forgotten it. When Hunter Sin enters his life, predictability goes out of the window, and an epic story truly begins. Excerpt from Chapter 20 : "The story goes: There once was a priest who protected his village during the night. He said prayers to the gods in order to keep his family and friends safe from the dangerous animals around them. For years, the prayers were enough to drive the wild animals away. Yet on one night where the land was illuminated by the full moon, the beasts began to rise on two legs. The large cats and mongrels that typically fought against each other, banded together under one beast. It was a monstrous wolf the size of a lion with fur as white as the moon itself. "One by one, the beasts neared the town as they followed from behind the white wolf. As the villagers fled into their homes, the priest and his daughters gathered the day-hunters to his side. They watched as the approaching monsters stood and stalked the village fence. The wolf was strong and smarter than the rest. Even in its guttural snarling voice, it managed to speak to the priest. 'You've trespassed too long. Abandon your homes or forsake your lives.' The priest refused without hesitation and stared the ten-foot wolf down." Jake listened to the story with baited breath as he could see where the tale would go next.Complete

The Other Guy (BoyxBoy) ✔️
"I walked over to where Aaron was sitting on the ground, kneeling so that I was face-to-face with him. He was wearing a blank expression on his face so I guess he didn't really care if I kissed him or not. I took in a deep breath before taking his face in both of my hands and swooping down to kiss him. At first, I was so nervous I didn't realize that we were already kissing but after a few moments, I realized how soft his lips felt on my own. Before I can register it I felt him moving against me. I would have gotten off of him but I realize that he wasn't moving to get away from me. No, He was moving his lips against mine." °°°°° Aiden Moore isn't extraordinary.
