Darwyna had always dreamed while growing up that she had a special place in the world, because of her father being a strong Blood Elf hunter and her mother a powerful Blood Elf arcane mage. So when her 4 years older brother Darius joins the Kirin Tor at the age of 15, she can't wait for her own powers to emerge. Except they don't, which leaves everyone baffled since an Blood Elf without any kind of magic abilities are unheard of. The only magic that seems to be present is in the shimmer of her green eyes. In the process of all, her father gets killed by Sargeras demons, making her life turn to the worse. Because of her lack of magic, her mother shun her, and Darwyna ends up on her own at the age of 15, living alone in a old hut in the Ghostlands, owning only a knife from her father.
After three years alone, she decides to change her path.
Short after her 18th birthday, she decides to seek out her brother to see if he can help her, in the floating city of Dalaran.
At the same time, the Burning Legion is raging on Azeroth, and Darwyna soon finds herself deep in trouble, when Gul'dan kidnap's her for his evil plans.
[DISCLAIMER: Most of the characters, races and classed belong to Blizzard, but Darwyna, Jolinea, Darius, Har'Jina and Orlac a are my own and so is most of the story.]
(This story starts where dalaran soon will be moved to first Deadwind pass and then the broken shore. Also, I will stray a bit from the "original story" but will try to get most important parts from the legion expansion, so just a heads up.)

Feral Hearts
A thousand years ago, black witches created the beast bound by enslaving and binding the souls of wolves to demons. Granting them the ability to take human form, and access to the world's magics. After breaking free of servitude, and with more of their land being dominated by humanity, more and more of the beasts have mixed with humankind. With the half bloods losing access to their powers with every generation, the pureblooded wolves have cemented themselves as the alphas of all the packs. The only ones who have retained the might of their magic. There are two rules for a pureblood: 1. Keep your line pure. 2. Bear at least one child. To ensure they remain in control, the punishment for failing in their duty is death. When Natania's mother dies giving birth to her, her father, Alistair, abandons her to be raised by the pack's omegas. Where survival relies on compassion and community over brute strength. After Alistair suddenly reclaims her at ten years old, Natania, desperate to earn her place and her father's approval, must navigate brutal training, pack politics, and a future she doesn't want to face. Grappling with the inequality within the pack, she struggles to unite them under her leadership. But when her heart stirs for Leah, a half blooded wolf in her pack, the weight of her bloodline becomes too much to bear.

Current leaders grow tired of their thrones and the time approaches for them to choice their successors.

Her body and mind having been physically altered bringing forth new challenges for her to get through. Many questions remain.

Will she ever see her family again? Could she possibly find a love along the way that could heal her shattered heart making her stronger than she ever thought it possible for her to be? This book has been my pet project for years and I will not appreciate it if anyone trys stealing my work considering how I have all of the rough drafts written down on paper. I would be very angry in fact. Any drawings that might be shown will be mine. The book title came together with the help of my older brother who is quite good with titles while I am not great at figuring out book titles but am good at writing stories and chapter titles. The book title may be added on to in the future but only time will determine that. This is the first book of the series. Once again I would like to remind everyone the story is ALL MINE. To all my devoted readers it is my hope that all of you will enjoy my story.
Entangled With Them
"From today onwards, you'll be our captive. Our acquisition. Your life will be resigned to this chamber, to serving us.

Are. We. Clear?" He ground out, punctuating the words with feral anger. Tears burned Elaine's eyes, her body shaking like a leaf in the wind, filled with trepidation.

We hope you enjoy it." ******* Princess Elaine Renee Valys has always lived a sheltered life, hidden away in a tower on the outskirts of her father's kingdom.

Salvage ~ V1: Nuts and Bolts (Steampunk/ Gaslamp Romantasy ~ FxM, MxM)
A Steampunk/ Gaslamp Fantasy Romance set in the industrial revolution era of a fictional world. Magic, mad science, multicultural ambiance, and political intrigue all tightly laced up into one corset and powered by the steam of two romances - one F/M and one M/M. For mature audiences, 18+. ~~~*~~~ All creations carry a trace of the maker's ethereal energy, whether deliberately placed in the magical Artifacts made by the Alchemists, or unwittingly left in the handiwork of ordinary people. Kazia can feel that energy, in both machines and people. She may not be able to do any of the grand magic other Alchemists can, but give her a damaged machine and she can trace its energy to the problem, and know precisely how to repair it. She does have one other ability. One far more dangerous. One she will never acknowledge, and will never use. Fleeing her villainous father rather than becoming his pawn, Kazia finds a peaceful life on a farm in a neighboring country, where no one knows that she is the daughter of Prince Gorvan Devratha. But with war looming between her birth country of Valesk and her new home in Caedra, how long can that peaceful life last? She can be safe in the Caedran capital, among the Queen's Alchemists, but will anyone there trust her - especially the handsome but embittered Lord Kelvaran Meratha, who suspects Kazia's father of murdering his family? Abrizhen is Kazia's older brother. He does his best to play the role of the Prince's good son and heir, but when tasked with retrieving his wayward sister, he must return to the city he'd called home for many of his youthful years. There he'll have to reckon with his past, and finally choose between the life of a dutiful prince, or the welfare of his sister - and the rekindling of an old flame. ~~~*~~~ Please see the introduction for detailed content warnings.Complete
Love is Blind- Fenrys Moonbeam (TOG)
I lean close enough that our lips brush when I speak. "He isn't worth it." I say, but he doesn't look convinced. I smirk as an idea pops in my head. "If you behave...we can do whatever you want tonight." His eyes widen, and a wicked smile grows on his face. He pulls back slightly, looking me in the eye. "Whatever I want?" He asks, and I grin wider, nodding. "Whatever you want." **** Jax has never had what would be considered an "easy" life. She's been beaten, tortured, and hunted.

The Adventures of Draven Ironjaw
Draven Ironjaw isn't a hero-he's a blood-red-eyed dwarf warlord who carves kingdoms from terror. Born cursed, he became the monster they called him: skinning victims to wear their faces, breaking women into breeding vessels, and butchering anyone who crosses him. A guilt-ridden elven bounty hunter, Kaelen, forms a bloody pact with Draven, a vengeful dwarf, to hunt a fanatical Prophet who sees them as demons. Their quest for a stolen ledger drags them into a conspiracy older than the war between humans and elves. They discover the Prophet is hunting a true monster: Kaelen's own mentor, Veyla, who secretly slaughtered her clan to fuel her own ancient, corrupt magic and now controls them both. Trapped between a zealous judge who knows their every sin and a mother-figure who engineered their trauma, the hunter and her target must break free of the past-or become pawns in a god's final, bloody purge.
