Danzabelle is a 16 year old girl who has an incredibly complicated family...but don't we all? Her mother is the one and only Mistress of the angel world Skylerg, Angelina; and her father is Poseidon, Greek god of the seven seas. If you think Danzabelle lives with her parents, you're way past wrong. There are rules that the three main Greek Gods aren't allowed to interact with humans no matter the circumstance...and what do you know? Poseidon along with his two brothers Zeus and Hades are chained down by that rule. They are expected to have no children other than among other Greek Gods, so as you can see it was a bit of a problem when got pregnant. Of course in the human world women get pregnant all the time. But Danzabelle's birth was a dilemma for all. Hades was angered by the fact that Poseidon was able to have a child, and started plotting revenge. Hades decided that he will capture Danzabelle, and keep her all to himself. Angelina and Poseidon realized the potential danger for little Danzabelle, and sent her to Earth for protection.

But Hades wasn't giving up so easily, he sent down demons looking for Danzabelle, but she was well hidden in Los Angeles. By the time Danz was a week old, she'd been adopted by the Grigori family.

Alpha Obsession by blitzguy347

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.

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?

When Sophomores Collide (BoyxBoy) ✓ by euwangabrielll

"Theo. If I'm not mistaken? Isn't this yours?" He extended a hand, holding my penguin printed handkerchief. My eyes couldn't have gotten so wide. I quickly swiped it out of his grasp. "Ah, t-thank you." I stuttered before walking away and out of the school, but before I did, I heard a deep chuckle behind me that I guessed was from Hunter. *** Theodore Willshire, attractive, sassy, incredibly talented and extremely intelligent. His goal is to find love. But because of his sexual preference, it's not always easy. But he has his eye on one boy. Hunter Fierro. I guess you could say he is... the cliche heartthrob of the school. He's known as the kindest, accepting and can literally make anyone fall in love with him if he wants. How will the two of them meet? Easy! They just have to recall their past... Right? As they blindly step foot into Sophomore Year. Theo will make unexpected friends, allies and enemies, maybe even meet the love of his life! What if one day, a mysterious being approaches him with an offer that seems normal at first but can change Theo's life?
