Luke Matthews has always led a troubled life; he was abandoned by his parents as a baby and has never been able to settle into the various orphanages and foster homes he's been sent to over the years. Now aged 16, he's beginning to fit into an ordinary life for the first time.
All of that changes when Luke is attacked by a vampire, only surviving thanks to two mysterious strangers with extraordinary powers who come to his rescue. Taken to Underworld, a secret city of mages hidden deep below London, Luke discovers he possesses light magic - a power unseen for millennia. It soon becomes clear that there are people who want to take advantage of Luke's powers, and it's not just him in danger. With the return of light magic, the fate of the whole world hangs in the balance...
~NOTE~
Kind of stalled with this, but I haven't abandoned it. I may end up doing a partial/total rewrite over the summer and try to actually finish it, if I do then I'll probably start posting the rewrite as a separate book. With that in mind, any criticism/advice/general comments you might have will be really useful, so please speak up if you've got anything to say.

Alpha Jax
SIX-PACK SERIES BOOK THREE * While this book can be read as a standalone, I highly recommend reading book one (Alpha Gray) and book two (Alpha Theo) for context before diving into this book. JAX : I'm no stranger to one night stands. Lots of girls want to hook up with an alpha, so why should this one be any different? Maybe it's because she was the best I ever had. Maybe it's because she refused to tell me her name or anything about herself. We agreed to one night, no strings attached. The problem is, I can't get that night out of my head, and I've been obsessed with finding this girl ever since. When she shows up at the squad complex for recruit training, I feel like it's my lucky day- until my best friend introduces her as his sister and things get... complicated. I can't go against bro code, right? Even if Quinn is my dream girl. Even if there's a crazy attraction between us that I'm finding harder to resist every day. I'm so screwed. QUINN : One night. It was supposed to be one night of anonymous, meaningless sex with a handsome stranger. I just wanted to have a good time and try to forget about my cheating ex. It definitely did the trick- I haven't thought about my ex since, but now I can't stop thinking about that night. I can't stop thinking about the stranger with all the right moves that set my body on fire. When I arrive at the complex for a fresh start, I'm shocked to see him again- and even more surprised to find out that he's not only an alpha, but he's also one of my brother's best friends. Theo would kill Jax if he found out about that night. He can never know- which means I have to keep my distance from Jax. Even if I can't stop fantasizing about him. Even if it kills me. ~ This book contains mature content (steamy scenes!) and themes that may not be suitable for younger readers. If frequent use of profanity and f-words offend, then this book is not likely for you.Complete
Arcadia Academy - The school in the forest
16-year-old Ryan is probably the only orphan in all of England whose parents are still alive. At least, that's what his visions are telling him. When Ryan finds out about a school that no one's ever heard of, he knows that school is somehow the key to finding his parents. But when he finally makes it through the wolf forest to get there, nothing goes as planned. Because there is a reason Ryan grew up separated from his family and the life he should've known. And a reason why it might've been for the best if he'd never found his way back home again. There is already someone expecting his arrival, someones who's ready to risk it all for revenge, and when Ryan wakes up ater being attacked, he's not entirely himself anymore. And whatever has become of him, it's clear that he's now a threat to everyone around him. Turns out Ryans parents are the leaders of a pack of werewolves, deadset on keeping the school and their whole society hidden from humans, and protected from vampires. In this new world, where everyone has a different motive to want him gone, Ryan has to fight for his right to stay with the werewolves and stay in control of his own self, otherwise he'll never see his parents again, and he might just be what causes the destruction of the whole werewolf pack for good. ***** I would say this story is fine for ages 14 and up. This story is finished, but in Swedish ;) It's around 110k words and I have now finished translating it into English! I have currently uploaded more than half of the book (I'd say the midpoint is around chapter 44), and the whole thing will be uploaded probably before August. This story takes place in northern England, and I am obviously not English! So if you are from England, and have some feedback for me regarding use of words and such, please let me know, I greatly appreciate it.Complete

Vampiric Soldier in a Cultivation World [ISEKAI & LitRPG]
After a decade of investment in a certain project of his and nothing to show for it, the man had began to give up hope. Immortality was still as far away as ever, and his ill-gotten gains had served no purpose as of yet. One day however, while he was going over his researcher's records in the lab, a tiny little wormhole appeared in front of him, rapidly shrinking from 3 meters in size down to nothingness. With little time to think about how this was even possible, and having nearly lost all hope on his current project on Earth, the man made the unthinkable decision. Leaving everything he had worked so hard for behind, and possibly even throwing away his life, he decisively stepped into the wormhole before it could disappear. Once he opened his eyes, the man found that he had aged by 30 years, but with no memories to show for it. It wouldn't stay this way for long however, as his missing memories started to return to him in a rapid fashion. Thrust into a magical world of cultivation, the opportunity to fulfil his dream had appeared in front of him. Will the man, now named Gaston according to one of his first memories, be able to survive his present circumstances and step foot into this magical world, or will he lose his life in the process? ----- Update Schedule: 5 Chapters a week (2x the size of the first 43), Mon and Tue off. ---------- 💌 Support me on Patreon to access 25+ future chapters and exclusive content: patreon.com/FilDus
The Bloodsworn
Book one in the Bloodsworn trilogy So here's how life used to go: We'd go to school, study, have fun, fight the occasional hunter or two, and mostly deal with everyday highschool drama. Just by looking at us, all you'd see is a great group of friends dealing with the everyday tortures of life. But maybe you should've looked a bit closer. I'm Luna Pines, and I'm the last werewolf. My whole life I've lived in secret from everybody except my friends. There are 8 of us in total, Alayna, Caroline, Timberly, Jackson, Nick, Hunter, and Jay. I don't know much about being what I am, nor how to control it very well. But the one thing that always bothered me was being alone, there's nothing I want more than to share my gift with someone else, someone just like me. So when Luke Masters shows up at school, with a shock to his touch, it seems like paradise for me. That is, until his brother's baggage makes my life, and my friends lives, hell. And here I am thinking I've got everything pretty much figured out about being a werewolf, but I have much to learn. With Vampires, Sylphs, Revenge, and Alpha powers coming to drive me insane, I'm not sure what's right and what's wrong anymore. My friends are slipping, I'm slipping, everything I've worked so hard to keep normal has gone away completely. I've lost my grip on reality, and I'm being forced into the world of the paranormal. And with every passing minute I'm growing bolder and stronger. I won't go down like this. Who would you die for? ======================================== This is my first EVER book! WARNING: This book will be going under some extreme editing since it is my first idea and I changed my mind a lot through the making. So I apologize if you read something that doesn't make sense. Editing is finished. Have a howl and enjoy the storyComplete
The Refugee's Mate (Werewolf Story)
Liam Forsythe was not dealt an easy hand. On the day he was born, his dad, family and their entire wolf pack were massacred by a rival. The only reason his mother even survived it's because she got into labor moments before the strike happened. With no family or mate left, his mom was forced to move into another pack to raise him. Growing up, Liam got into a lot of trouble. And even upon turning 18, he didn't find his mate anywhere which only aggravated the situation. One day, trouble proves too much for him as he got mixed up with the Alpha's son, who all but kills him in retaliation. Desperate, his mom does the unthinkable and apply for sanctuary in the oddest of places, moving them both into a new town and pack. Liam becomes a refugee, running for his life in fear of his enemy showing up to finish the job. Now he and his mom must remake their lives at all costs and pray he can be safe from danger. Little does he know, the surprise of his life is yet to come. Warning: contains gay sexual activities and violence. Spin off of "The Orphan's Mate".
