Don't Look Back
Alysha-Mae Hadley had always been... different.
"Special," her dad used to say, ruffling her hair like she was a child genius or a ticking time bomb-he never quite decided which. Her siblings teased her gently, her teachers watched her like she might float away mid-lesson, and every person she ever dated ended things with the same line:
"You're just... a bit much, Alysha."
But it wasn't her fault that the world in her dreams felt more real than the one she woke up to. That she remembered things that hadn't happened-or hadn't happened yet. That she could never quite explain the feeling that someone, or something, was watching her.
For as long as she could remember, the nightmares had been the same: a corridor of mirrors, each reflection warped and whispering. A girl who looked like her but wasn't. And a shadow at the end, always just out of reach, always calling her name.
Then, on the morning of her 20th birthday, Alysha-Mae met him.
He was leaning against the wall outside the coffee shop, sketchbook in hand, drawing what looked suspiciously like the corridor from her dreams.
"You see it too?" he asked without looking up.
Her heart stopped.
That was the moment she knew: her "crazy" wasn't just hers anymore.

A dirty window before her, the grim obstructing her vision, she has lived with a loss she can't identify - that is until one rainy night. Gradually the spots of dirt May scratched at for so long wipe away with the touch of a finger. But when she looks in will she like what she sees - or will curiosity kill the cat?Complete

The King Of All Vampire Kings (Book 1) ✔️ new edition coming soon:)
Book 1 of (The Awakening Series) {#1 Supernatural} {#1 Paranormal} {#1 Lycans} {#1 Vampire Romance} {#5 Royalty} The world went to shit long before I was born. Humans like me use to believe other species were nothing more than fictional characters, myths, or figures of one's imagination. But that was before vampires left the shadows and decided to reveal their species to the world. I've been told that teenage girls use to fantasize about being swooshed off their feet by those mysterious creatures. Insane. Matter of fact, insane would be an understatement, they were fucking lunatics. Vampires are not some fictional character that would love you like no other. No, vampires are not some sort of myth, and they most certainly are not, a figment of anyone's imagination. They are very real, and they despise the human race. In fact, they have enslaved my entire species and formed a new world. Each continent is owned by a ruthless, bloodsucking, barbaric, the vampire king. Every single one of them has played a part in the war of the awakening, showing no mercy, killing without question. Humans didn't even stand a chance. Our army and world leaders were killed or imprisoned in less than a couple of days. They slaughtered my race, but it didn't stop there. No, that was only the beginning of human suffering. Trust me when I say the death was truly a kindness, because anyone who survived the awakening, would beg for death. I was positive that my suffering would come to an end when I turned eighteen. I was hoping and praying to be marked as a feeder, nothing more, nothing less. Death was the only way out of this world. You see, all of the kings who ruled over the earth were cruel and calculating. They are all tyrants in their own right and they all answered to one vampire. Who was known as the most barbaric of them all and I was marked as his chosen. The King of all Vampire Kings.
