It's a new year at Van Doren Academy and their elite has added a new member to their coterie, much to the disgust of their queen and in retaliation, she's going to show them why she sits on the throne.

"Adamata, I'm a queen," Darjani chuckled deviously as she began, slightly undoing the lace strap at her back which tied up her dress, " I don't chase kings, I make them."

Checkmate
The High Class of Europe. Or should I say the vampires? Everybody knows they exist, yet it is an unspoken rule to stay silent about them. You wouldn't want to risk one of them hearing you talk bad about them. The punishment for something as simple as that is unspeakable. The Vampires have built an empire from the dirt of London and have reigned for thousands of years. They continue to drag terror everywhere they step. Now in every high class, there's the low respected, middle of the pack, and the elites. Obviously, none are as interesting as the Elites of society. The cremé of the crop. Allow me to introduce you to Zara Delcour, Kaspian Auclair, Mackenzie Rousseau, and Nox Toussaint, the most powerful young adults of them all. And the great thing is? They're not going anywhere. But people are always looking for the next best thing or the next biggest deal. Alliances are formed. Threats are made. And it's all one big game of chess. + Due to harsh imagery, descriptive visuals, possible triggering moments, and certain mature themes in this novel, it is rated MATURE. There will be trigger warnings at the start of the chapters where mature scenes are held for those of you who would prefer to skip over them! (I cannot guarantee that you won't miss something crucial to the novel in those scenes.)Complete
Velbridge Academy
Welcome to Velbridge Academy - where royalty, wealth, and legacy aren't just inherited... they're weaponized. Tucked behind gilded gates and hidden from the public eye, Velbridge isn't your typical elite boarding school. It's the academy of the crowned, the heirs of empires, and the future rulers of the world. Power isn't taught here - it's expected. When Lilith Aurelian, an ordinary girl with a quiet past and a sharp mind, earns her place among the thirteen - a group made of royalty, aristocrats, and heirs - she doesn't just step into privilege. She steps into centuries of secrets, tension, and rituals built to break the weak. What begins as icy stares and velvet walls becomes something else entirely. Between intimate spa rooms divided only by curtains, private jets that whisper confessions in the dark, and late-night lounges where power slips through murmured words and steady hands - Lilith discovers that belonging is far more dangerous than exclusion. Friendships bloom. Trust fractures. Love simmers beneath silk robes and stolen glances. And just when the group begins to heal, a single mistake threatens to unravel it all. Because at Velbridge, one wrong move isn't just social suicide - it's legacy death. This is Velbridge: where loyalty is tested, intimacy is a silent language, and the only thing thicker than blood... is the silence that follows betrayal.Complete

The Elites
❝Mysterious," he hummed in amusement. "I like it. Are you new then, mystery girl?❞ - High school is like a game of chess. You have to gamble the moves you make and risk the chance of checkmate. In Harrington, that isn't the case. No matter what moves someone could make - unless you were one of the Elites - you'll always face checkmate, just for pure pleasure and entertainment, because that's all they'll ever be; another pawn in their game. But that was before Candace. After her best friend was ripped away from Harrington due to her obsession with climbing the hierarchy, Candace knows that she has to do the same to them. One by one. And once she does, she'll finally rest. But what if destroying the Elites means destroying someone she cares deeply about too? - © Copyright 2020 of ImAWandererXOComplete

But the more I learn about him, the more the mission starts to blur. Because Kieran might be a monster... But I'm starting to wonder what that makes me. He's the enemy. I was sent to ruin him. So why does it feel like he's the only one who sees me?

Perfection is subjective - one shot
Vana was the queen of highschool - not because she was kind or brilliant, but because she could be crueler than anyone else. Money oiled every door open for her, and the world inside the ivy-covered walls of the school was hers to command. Everyone knew their place: the powerful ruled, the rich flaunted, and the weak survived only if they kept their heads down. Vana loved it that way. She loved how easy it was to spot someone who didn't belong - the ones who flinched when she smiled too sweetly, the ones who stammered when she leaned in close just to whisper something sharp and cutting into their ears. When Leo came to school, he didn't belong. Everyone could see it: the simple clothes, the calloused hands, the scholarship papers that practically screamed charity case. Vana hated him on sight. Hated the way he stood up straighter than the rest, hated the calm in his eyes, hated that he made it so difficult - so unsatisfying - to get a reaction from him. But no matter what she did - the comments, the humiliation, the cold, calculated pranks - Leo never reacted. No anger. No fear. No cracks in the armor. And for the first time in her charmed, brutal life, Vana found herself caught on a hook she didn't know how to escape from. What happens when the girl who feels nothing finally meets someone who refuses to break? 27.04.2025 English is not my first language, so I'm sorry if there are any mistakes!Complete
