The Exiled King | ✔
The world plunged into an era of peace, built upon the backs of the last heroes, who protected their realm and then vanished into legend, taking their powers with them. When the lost powers awaken in six strangers across the mortal realm once again, they seek answers... What danger has compelled the powers to reappear after half a century of peace? As demons once again begin to crawl from the fiery realm of the Abyss, it becomes clear that they are not acting on their own - someone cunning is leading them. But something doesn't add up. The deeper they dig, the more twisted the truth becomes and the more uncertain their path forward. Who... or what must they truly save their world from? As destinies unravel and loyalties are tested, one question lingers: What if saving the world... means trusting the very force that could end it? An epic trilogy of gods, mortals, and fates intertwined - where it seems that things may have been set in motion long before anyone could ever have anticipated and the path forward may just be the one that ends in death.

Three kings, One mistake
"COMPLETED" Kaela is a fierce and complex character, born to four incredibly powerful beings: a werewolf, a vampire, a dragon, and an omega. While her birth was a stunning event, her family expected greatness. But what they got was a girl who didn't fit the mold. Unlike the Lycan King, born with immense power, Kaela was perceived as weak, lacking the same aura of strength. Her family-her parents, and especially her mates-mocked her, rejected her, and made her feel like an outcast from the moment she was born. But Kaela has a fire within her that can't be snuffed out. Bullied by everyone except her omega father, she grows up with an unrelenting determination to prove them all wrong. She finds solace in music and dance, her only outlets for expression. When her own brothers frame her for a crime she didn't commit and she's exiled from her pack, Kaela could've given up. But instead, she rises. With a billion-dollar check from her omega father, she redefines herself-turning her pain into power. Now a famous artist, Kaela is ready to take on the world that abandoned her. Her ex-mates-once the Lycan King, Vampire King, and Demon King-are about to find out just how wrong they were to underestimate her. But Kaela is more than just revenge; she's a woman on her own terms, unbothered by those who once thought they could control her. With three kings who once rejected her now desperately wanting her back, Kaela is the one in control-and she's about to make them regret the day they let her go.Complete
