A dystopian romance in which two superhumans from light and dark fall in love.

__

[BOOK IS COMPLETE BUT CURRENTLY BEING EDITED]

On August 21st, 2164, Mara Winters will discover she is not a normal human being. She will learn that she belongs to an elite race of humans called 'mutants'. 

Which so happens to be the type of human that her government has killed off almost completely.

After a factory incident at her workplace, Mara will soon realize she isn't the only mutant remaining on Earth. She soon finds herself in a Rebel group training for one sole purpose; to take down their evil leaders.

But one night, Mara discovers that she has a mental bond between an oh-so-sexy mutant commander from their government. It allows them to telecommunicate, or even appear in each other's heads late at night. 

The two find themselves slowly warming up to each other, despite the fact that the commander was an evil mutant-a sworn enemy against Mara's kind.

But as secrets of their past begin to unfold, they realize they had more in common than they could've ever known. They find it harder to trust those they once considered close.

Little did they know, a war was coming. And not just a physical war. 

A war of love.

Given a second chance at life, Sirius Black is sent into hiding by the Order yet again -- this time in the Muggle world to heal from the scars of his past. Things are looking up when he meets single mum Colleen Gilmore, even more so when he realizes she needs him as much as he needs her. But introducing a Muggle to the Wizarding World is never easy, especially when that world is at war. And Sirius Black is one complicated wizard. (This is Book Two in the Wizarding World Romance Series.) ***This is a sequel to my first book "Within the Wings of a Storm," a Sirius vs. Severus x OC love triangle. While I hope you will read "Within the Wings of a Storm," I understand if you don't! Just read the quick recap in Part 1 of this story. ***MATURE warning: I write smut about the men of Harry Potter.

First to Rise (Excerpt) by Bioshockgrl
8 parts Complete Mature
The aliens came here for one thing, and one thing only.... Females. ( This story is only available through inkitt or galatea!!!) (some read events may apply) (check update chapter for more details!) Humans believed they were the only intelligent life to exist... that it was impossible for another species to evolve in a way where they could prevail in something as great as space travel. humans believed they were supposed to be the most technologically advanced species and the alpha predators... They were wrong. The Xandisians evolved in ways humans never could have imagined, they are natural-born killers with phenomenal strength and agility. Their kind never went through the same devolution as humans, they never lost their natural instincts to hunt, kill, or breed. With their limitless potential and monstrous strength, they faced few threats and could survive almost any threat that befall their species, almost. After an incurable sickness washes over the planet of xanadis, the majority of the female, young and elderly, and vulnerable population is all but wiped out, leaving a small portion of the male population to face the threat of extinction. With no choice but to look to the stars for a means to save their kind from complete annihilation, the xandisians set out to find a race compatible with their own. after many years and countless failed expeditions, they finally find a species that matches their base DNA on a planet called Earth. The only issue now is how humans will react. (Book 2 LTF series) (CAN be read as a stand alone, but not recommended for nostalgia reasons~) (ps this is UNEDITED, grammar and spelling mistakes will ensue!) (NOTE: THIS IS ITS OWN STORY NOT A CONTINUATION. SAME CHARACTERS BUT DIFFERENT PLOT.)(Last to fall au/spin-off)
Star Kissed by LizzyFord
21 parts Complete Mature
When Mandy loses her job, she thinks she’s hit rock bottom – until her plane is swallowed by a strange storm that sends her and everyone else on board 10,000 years into the future. At first, she thinks the scary world is nothing more than a bad dream. The war-torn Earth is unrecognizable. Black fog blocks the sun, and the oceans are dry. Even worse: the planet is inhabited by half-human, half-alien creatures dying from a mysterious disease. Horrified at the thought of spending her life here, she clings to the knowledge that there’s one man who can open the star gate to send her home. As the Naki prince who controls the star gate, Akkadi gets first choice of any human female that makes her way through the star gate. Only by breeding with purebred humans from the past can his race hope to remain immune to the disease and hopefully, develop an eventual cure. With shrinking resources and a raging battle for the human planet, dutiful, commanding Akkadi is less than thrilled at the idea of trying to figure out Mandy, a woman he views as wild with neither discipline nor respect for someone in his position. He’s ready to write her off, when she offers him something too tempting to resist: her body for the chance to convince him by any means possible to send her home. Neither intends for the arrangement to be permanent or to fall for the other. Only when Mandy learns Akkadi’s secret and walks away does he realize he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her – even if it means losing his war.

Fox Trott (First Book of the Shadow Series)

56 parts Complete Mature

So here we are. You are here, looking for a fictional dystopia series that could give you chills, make your imagination run wild, or even just give you something to do for a vacation. If you are looking for a beautiful fictional world, I'm sorry to say you should stop reading here. This is not a story where we have flying cars and the world is running oh so smoothly. This is a story of people destroying beauty because they don't see it. This is a book of love turned to hurt, pain turned to power, insanity turned to freedom. We don't have dancing fairies. We have cannibalistic monsters that wish for death. We have a monster that will never receive what he is looking for. We have a little girl driven into madness. So if you do not have the strength of heart to see the true disparity of our world, turn back now. If not, welcome to the Shadows.
