The Dragon's Call by _casuallycruel13

In Saileora, power hums beneath the soil, ancient and untamed. Seeker Wrain, princess and heir to a throne that feels more like a cage, has always sensed it, both around and inside her. But the whispers of that hidden force - the stirring of magic, the heartbeat of the land - have never explicitly belonged to her. Until now. When an impossible void tears through the quiet countryside, leaving her kingdom's fields in ruins and the skies heavy with shadows, Seeker is thrust into a world of secrets she never asked to inherit. The dragons - the ancient gods of her people - are no longer the benevolent protectors of legend. One of them, Ascklees, has risen from his grave, burning with a hatred that could ignite all of Saileora. The land calls for heroes, but Seeker has never been one. Not the fierce warrior like her childhood friend Calix Clearbow, who walks in the light with unwavering bravery, nor the brilliant Dr. Rockbrow who seems to bend the world to her will. No, Seeker is something else entirely. A quiet storm, an unread book filled with power she does not yet understand. But there are others like her. Other Omnicircies - rare wielders of all the Subcirces, whose power has the potential to shape the fate of kingdoms. And they are waiting, hidden among the peaks of Vidya, the shores of Blissia and Brashar, and the deserts of Sadya. Only together can they confront the gathering storm, but first, they must be found. In The Dragon's Call, nothing is as it seems. Every smile hides a secret, every whisper holds a danger. Power calls to those who dare to listen, but power demands a price - one that not everyone will survive. Are you ready to heed the call?

After an accident, another burnt match Sienna lands in a new world where Fire is an entity, a deity to its citizens. The opportunity is clear: overpower Fire and rewrite her identity. This time, starting afresh would be real and permanent. Settled. But this Fire is unpredictable and temperamental, worshipped by his priests and guarded in his own temple like a treasure.

The Reluctant Cougar (Rise of the Alpha King's Heir) by AmouraLucinda

*Complete but still subject to edits* Ben Cougar and Eileen Grau have been best friends since they were kids. For the young cougar-shifter, it was love at first sight. For the ostracized Vampire girl, it was good to have a friend--even if he was six years younger. Time changes all things, however, and when Eileen comes home from college Ben is no longer "little" in any sense of the word. He has a young man's body, a young man's desires, and he's done letting other men break his woman's heart. Ignorant people might call her a cougar, but if Ben has his way, soon everybody will be calling her Mrs. Cougar. Shapeshifter x vampire Older woman x younger man *** A few notes: This story takes place in the late '90s/early 2000s. This is a prequel, and while it does lead into the next story it can be read as a HEA standalone. This is an instant-love, slow-burn story that will include dirty talk and some some tamer aspects of kink-play as the characters' relationship progresses. Also, because I want everybody to have a happily ever after, this story will occasionally take detours into the minds and relationships of the side characters. I hope you enjoy! ***** #1 in cougar 8/2/21 #1 in olderwoman 12/8/21 #1 in youngerman 11/20/21 #1 in fatedlovers 8/2/21 #1 in bloodmates 12/27/22 #5 in loveconquersall 11/5/23 #9 in energy 12/8/21 #12 in empathy 12/8/21 #12 in nineties 11/5/23

In Saileora, power hums beneath the soil, ancient and untamed. Seeker Wrain, princess and heir to a throne that feels more like a cage, has always sensed it, both around and inside her. But the whispers of that hidden force - the stirring of magic, the heartbeat of the land - have never explicitly belonged to her. Until now. When an impossible void tears through the quiet countryside, leaving her kingdom's fields in ruins and the skies heavy with shadows, Seeker is thrust into a world of secrets she never asked to inherit. The dragons - the ancient gods of her people - are no longer the benevolent protectors of legend. One of them, Ascklees, has risen from his grave, burning with a hatred that could ignite all of Saileora. The land calls for heroes, but Seeker has never been one. Not the fierce warrior like her childhood friend Calix Clearbow, who walks in the light with unwavering bravery, nor the brilliant Dr. Rockbrow who seems to bend the world to her will. No, Seeker is something else entirely. A quiet storm, an unread book filled with power she does not yet understand. But there are others like her. Other Omnicircies - rare wielders of all the Subcirces, whose power has the potential to shape the fate of kingdoms. And they are waiting, hidden among the peaks of Vidya, the shores of Blissia and Brashar, and the deserts of Sadya. Only together can they confront the gathering storm, but first, they must be found. In The Dragon's Call, nothing is as it seems. Every smile hides a secret, every whisper holds a danger. Power calls to those who dare to listen, but power demands a price - one that not everyone will survive. Are you ready to heed the call?
