Book one in "The Cursed" Series
Running seemed to be the only thing that Maīa was capable of.
Running.
She ran as fast as she could at the first sign of trouble, hiding herself away in the last place that she would ever be found. Cutting ties with her loved ones, and breaking for the ones that she lost. Even the faintest glimmer of hope seemed to be out of her reach no matter where it was that she went. Eventually, her past began to catch up to her. A past that had a far greater impact to her life than she had ever known.
But no one can run forever.
Soon, hiding away in her small corner of the world, would no longer be enough. In her heart, she was truly terrified to know just what might happen if she stopped. It was tempting to say the least, to see what awaited her on the other side of the fear she felt if she chose to stay regardless of the danger.
Fear shook her as the weight of her reality began to come crashing down. She would have to return to the places and the people that she had run from. She would have to face the demons of a past she'd long since buried along with the bodies of her loved ones. It was the pandoras box that she was more than unwilling to open.
Then something changed, catching Maīa's eye like a lightening strike whizzing through the darkness of the night. A slip up? Or maybe something she'd missed the first time around? She wasn't sure. But her blood hummed, buzzing with the energy she hadn't felt in a long time. And the closer she got to finding an answer, the louder her blood screamed at her to keep going.
To keep running.
But this time, she wasn't running away. She was running towards it, head on and without hesitation. Ready to fight, no longer afraid of the consequences. But it was so much more than that.
She was running towards her demons.

Captured By A Ruthless Vampire King (Book 2) ✔️
Book 2 of (The Awakening Series) I'm a She-wolf who happened to be born on the day of The Awakening. My people once believed that the day when Luna passes directly behind earth and into the shadows was the day of new beginnings. The day of rebirth! They once called those particular days.... Luna passing days! For centuries Werewolves believed that in the year 2081 on the Luna passing day. Our creator and savior the moon Goddess would once again walk the earth. Even the Lycans who are believed to be direct descendants of the moon goddess believed in Luna passing days. All of my people were wrong, Lycans included. The Luna passing day in the year 2081 was marked as The Awakening. For humans, it was the act of the vampire species coming into awareness of the human world. To Werewolves, it was the day we have knocked off our high horses. Well, that's how I see it anyway but I'm no ordinary She-wolf. My kind usually thrives just thinking about spilling vampire blood. They always have. I honestly feel like we all can get along. Seriously, holding on to grudges never did anyone any good. It's pointless. We should all co-exist. I truly thought I understood the pain of losing your loved ones. I knew it cut deep but I never truly understand how fucking deep it hurts. You see I use to believe that most vampires were just misunderstood. I use to believe that the only way to stop the bloodshed is to forgive and forget. How fortunate for me, that funny word name fate decided to show me otherwise. The Vampires took someone extremely important away from me. They crushed my soul when they took her life. I'll never forgive them. For the first time in history, my people were right I'll never heal. Especially, now! I'm living with this ruthless Vampire King who insists on calling me his chosen but the sickest part of it all is he is actually my mate. #1 in Vampire/Romance # 2 in series Unedited.

I look down at my fate. My destiny. My future. Liam pulls me flush to his side. "We'll figure this out," he promises to me, but I can't bring myself to believe it. I look at Katarina, who can not bring herself to look back at me. Her head just stays lowered. "Luna Jordan, we can change this. None of it is definite but let me fully explain what these say. I know that it looks scary, but it is beautiful too," she gives me a small smile. I nod my head and lower my eyes back down to the yellow papers. The air in the room shifts. I look back up to see Katarina hovering off the ground, her hair is flying above her in all twisted ways, and her jade green eyes are now shaded over with grey.Complete
