The finale to The Culled Crown series.

                                                                      *****

Monroe Benson is a girl made of lies--a girl made of lies who fell in love with a boy who excelled at telling them. The son of a sailor, he'd said. A nobody. 

Liar. 
Beautiful liar.

Shouldn't she have tasted those lies on his lips? Shouldn't she have known? And even if she hadn't seen it, hadn't thought to look deeper into his past, shouldn't he have told her? Liar. Liar. Lair. He should have been honest. All those nights they'd laid in bed together and he'd never even been who she'd thought he was. Lies. All of it lies. And what would she have done if he'd mustered the courage to tell her the truth? Would she have run from him? As Monroe finds herself imprisoned once more in Oredison Palace, the answers to those broken questions hardly seem to matter anymore. 

The Culling is not over. There are four girls left. Four girls, all of them goddess-chosen and goddess-blessed. And the crown is not finished with them. The whisper of that roiling, dark power in Monroe's blood has not dimmed, even with tacet suffocating it. The game is not over. That toxicant throne was not sated with the blood of a princess. The throne craves a queen. The goddess craves blood. Erydia craves a revolution. And to end it all...to end the Culling and change the world, the liar---the boy with the golden tattoos and the artist's hands---must die.

May the goddess be honored.

The Lotus Trials by Feysand_Forever
38 parts Complete
Gemma Hart knows well enough what a gilded prison looks like. Paranoid due to the unsolved assassination of their parents, her brother had spent the last seven years ensuring she doesn't face the same fate. Trapped from the outside world, some simple privileges are things she's been kept from. For one, the chance to find her mate naturally. Just days after her twentieth birthday an invitation under her name crosses her brother's desk, carelessly swept away to keep from her curious eyes. An invitation to The Lotus Trials. The series of tests were rumored to be a struggle for the strongest, most agile warrior wolves. Her own father and brother had barely passed the final challenge. But what better chance did she have at proving she could forage her own path in the world outside the border? And how convenient it was that the trials were just days behind the mating ball. ~~~~~ Ezekiel Winters has felt himself slipping, day by day. After the loss of his mate, his grief-like so many others-has driven him to the brink. It's then that a life partner is demanded of him, as a second queen might save him from his darkening fate. Just as he begins to lose hope entirely he stumbles upon a peculiar girl who seems to be an oddity to be competing in the annual trials he hosts. Certainly far too different from his first mate for his wolf to be so drawn to, yet as The Lotus Trials continue on, further and further the king falls, raising a question filled with desperate hope. Can this girl banish his shadows at last? ~~~~~ BOOK ONE. UPDATE EVERY FRIDAY. ENJOY!

In the Supernatural world lies the Werewolf world. And in the Werewolf world lie packs. Natalia was the omega of her pack with the blood of an alpha. As you can imagine, she was deemed 'disrespectful' and the pack members would try to beat her into submission. Emphasis on try. You see, you can't beat an alpha into total submission. Illegitimate or not. Shifted or not. After her mate rejects her, she leaves. Runs. Hightails the hell outta there. And she promises to be back to tear them apart. This isn't a typical story of how a rejected, wounded she-wolf runs away, finds another pack then reluctantly returns to her old pack because of some useless mission to help them with rouges. Natalia will find things out about herself and her mother that she never would have guessed and go beyond the Werewolf world. There may be a few detours but: she promised to destroy them she promised to make them pay and in the end, Natalia never breaks her promises. Ever. ******************** You can join my Patreon (patreon.com/LalaLand464) for early access to chapters a week before they get to Wattpad.

I have always been angry. My life, to say the least, has been interesting. I guess 'interesting' could be a synonym for bad luck. Luck that all started with the colour green. I have always despised the colour green. It was what got me into this mess, but somehow, it seemed, would also get me out. My luck started when I crossed paths with the green-eyed butterfly. Only eight years old, yet it taunted me in a way I couldn't deny. Introducing me to my first experience of fear, for I was no longer a normal child, it was time to say goodbye. Thus, the war began, and to even the score I was forced to bore the scars that had stolen my childhood. From that day forwards, my bad luck continued until I met another pair of green eyes. And for the second time in my life, I stared fear in the face. To the man I will meet, will you use your power to save the good and defeat the bad? Or will you hate what you've gained, only to love what you had? Torn between the love of family and the freedom I desire.... pushed to decide between the comfort of safety or the danger that arises... I will cooperate or suffer the consequences? Maybe love and magic is all that is needed to secure the Crown of Wolves.

[A SWEET MAFIA ROMANCE] Nicole thought that her life would be easy now after she left behind all the memories of an awful night, which led to an unexpected tribulation in her life. She moved into a new city trying to forget the inexplicable incident that happened with her. Little did she know that she can never escape from it because the devil will always find her. No matter how hard she tries to get away from him. He was meant to be her medicine but he turned out to be a Slow Poison. ------------------------------------- I hear his hoarse voice bringing me back from the daze as he growls in between the kisses. "You have no idea how dangerous it can be..." He says with his lips going down to the area just above my breast, he sucks in desperately, squeezing my ass gently, making me whimper in bliss. I clutch to his shirt, trying to hold my body from collapsing. "Careful...You are messing with the devil, Cole." He doesn't let me breathe for a minute as he starts attacking me with his open-mouthed kisses all the way back. Rapture succumbs me as I feel his lips again on my neck, traveling higher. I breathe heavily, unable to maintain my composure while being acquainted with this unfamiliar sensation. His lips reach my ear as he gently nibbles my earlobe. "You know why people call me the devil?" His breath fanning over my ear. "It's not because I am a sinner." His harsh breath comes out in pants, showing me how equally he is affected as he continues. "It's because I am capable of making innocent people commit sins."

It made me want to tease him more. To think that this person in front of me who's become a child, begging and crying is the rumored tyrant king, Cassius Pearson, and my mate.
