Colette Darling was an odd duck.
Her chocolate brown locks could rival a tornado and her doe green eyes were a match for the Spring grass.
Lovely.
Her knowledge of literature could rival an Oxford scholars and her adulation for poetry was an odd match for Shakespeare's melancholy dramas.
Eccentric.
Her adventures never stray away from her home at Wynterhold unless there was the utmost societal reason to be seen out, in which her Grandmother could not refuse the invitation. Any appearance of Colette in society was astonishing.
Peculiar.
The happiness her very being could bring to others was absolute. A word or a smile was a match for anyone with a heart, or even a soul. Though she never took part in societies balls that young women of her age ought to.
Strange.
What people didn't know about Colette, however, were the things that made her most extraordinary. The divine secrets she held inside the walls of Wynterhold, the queer hold she had over nature, and the almost magical twinkle in her eyes. Those were the things nobody knew, and also the things that held no importance. Alone at Wynterhold she could keep her secrets just that. Secrets. And everything whimsical about her could be just outward.
Unless someone came looking.
Nobody ever came looking though.
Not until now.

The Witch of Anima
She was different. She knew that. She could do things that no one else could do. She could hear the thoughts of those around her without trying, and to her, it was a blessing as well as a curse. Mystery surrounded her life, ever since the day that her father had left for war when she was around eight. Dreams of dragons and magic filled her mind every time that she slept, but that wasn't what made her wonder if there was something else. No, green eyes that were a mystery to her filled her mind even in the waking world. Those eyes of a young man kept her wanting to be asleep for all eternity just so that she could see them time and time again. And, when those green eyes came to her on one Christmas Day, she knew that her life had changed as she knew it. For those eyes belonged to a Warlock from a different world, and she, she was a Witch from a different place than Earth. And, she had been called to help save the world that she never knew. Because she was the Witch of Anima, a place that had only just been a dream _______________________________________ NOTE: IF YOU READ THIS BOOK ON ANY OTHER APP BESIDES WATTPAD THEN IT IS COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT.

The Alchemist's Starling
CURRENTLY EDITING "You belong to me - completely. I can do whatever I want to you, and no one can tell me otherwise. You're mine, Chisa Hatori; my little Starling..." I start sobbing, shaking my head frantically, rejecting the terrible truth. I thrash in his arms, trying to get away. Joseph laughs at my efforts, only tightening his grip until I can't move. The fingers of his right hand find my chin, forcing me to turn my head to the right. My blurry sight is greeted by his cool grey eyes, my stomach churns. He presses his forehead against mine - the mere physical contact has me shaking. "Do you know why the fae call you, The Alchemist's Starling?" I can't answer him... I'm lost in my own emotions. "The fae can sense you," he continues, "just as they can sense Alchemists. They saw your unique, purple locks fluttering in the wind when we went outside together - like the wings of a Starling. Of course, their kind adore you, and loathe us Alchemists. The fact that they cannot have you, makes them sad. Of course, because they saw you with me - they recognised that you were mine." Someone help me... Save me from him... ***** Chisa Hatori has had a hard life. Her father left, she watched her mother die, she was torn away from her sister and placed in foster care. Chisa is gifted; she has the Sight... and she is a Sleigh Beggy. However, she views her blessing as a curse, seeing terrifying monsters wherever she goes. Chisa has forgotten what it feels like to be loved, she doesn't want to live... That's when a certain Alchemist appears in her life... ***** *Sequel: 'The Starling's Secret' is now in progress 😊Complete

And ancient family secrets get involved when a demon she is magically bonded with appears.

Is it too late to say Sorry?
"The fuck you are leaving me." His roar cracked through the hall like lightning. Ara didn't blink. She stood there, calm as death, done to her core. No tears. No tremble. Just a weary exhale as she turned her back on him - the one thing he never thought she'd do. Before she could take a step, his hand shot out, gripping her arm like he was holding on to life itself. "Where are you going, Ara!" His command shook the pack. But she wasn't his to command. Not anymore. Ara ripped her arm free with a force that made even his wolf recoil. "Don't. Touch. Me." Her aura slammed into him, cold and merciless. "You think I'll stand here and watch you mate and breed her?" she hissed, every word a dagger. His throat bobbed. "She meant nothing." She laughed - sharp, broken, brutal. "Yeah? That's why you were fucking her in your office? Couldn't even hide the scent of your betrayal." "Ara, it was a mistake-" She stepped closer, eyes blazing. "Your mistakes come in episodes, Alpha. Season one, season two, season three. You don't make mistakes. You make choices." He swallowed hard. "I don't need her. I need you." "Lies," she spat. "Every damn sentence you breathe is a lie. I can't even look at you without feeling sick." He flinched like her words physically hit him. "That female behind you?" she pointed, not bothering to glance. "Perfect for you. Go mark her. Breed her. Hell, fuck her for all I care." Her voice cracked - but she kept going, blade steady even when bleeding. "I don't need you. Not anymore." His knees crashed to the floor. The mighty Alpha. On the ground. For her. "Ara... I'm sorry. I'm really fucking sorry." His voice broke like he finally understood what loss tasted like. She stared at him with a sad, devastating smile. "Isn't it too late for that, Mate?" One tear escaped - and she crushed it away with her thumb. Then she turned. Walked. Didn't look back. But he didn't chase her. Because he knew. He didn't just lose her. He wrecked her.Complete
Beastly Desires
No. It couldn't be. Why would she desire him and in that way specifically? He was a beast. He wasn't entirely human. He was going to let her father die in a cell. He mared Aarvas face. He stole Celeste's maidenhead. There were plenty of reasons to hate him. Fear him. To run from him, but... "Tell me to stop. Tell me to go. Right now. I need to hear you say that you don't want me. That you never want to see me again. That I repulse you. That I don't make you as uncomfortable as you do to me. That the damning evidence between your legs is not the same as mine. That you don't find me attractive. That it isn't fear that's keeping you from running for your life. Because you should." He took a shaky breath. "You should run and never come back."

She knew he meant trouble. Yet she loved him. When seventeen-year-old Quinn Sophia Richards leaves New York to live with her grand-aunt, Helen Deveraux in Blue Haven, Georgia, she is confronted with a dark life changing revelation : her whole life was a big lie to hide the fact that she is a powerful Campbell witch who needs to fulfill her part of the prophecy before it's too late. She meets a mysterious handsome stranger who seems to know a great deal about her family's past. But can she trust this dangerous manipulating stranger whose dark side threaten to consume her... *** It was the most captivating pair of blue eyes she had ever encountered in her life. "Hello Quinn," he murmured huskily, eyes locked on her. The fact that he knew her name did not matter to her. It just felt right the way his full lips voiced it. "Hi, did you see a fair blond guy in his middle twenties passing by?" she muttered, still amazed with his hypnotic stare. Flexing a muscle in his high cheekbone, he raised one long eyebrow playfully. Something in the atmosphere was telling her that he knew the answer. "Boyfriend?" he teased, eyes locked broodingly upon her. Taken aback with his question, she only stared back. It was true that Tom Willis did not appear an ounce a driver with his casual clothing and his age. But he wasn't to find out. Her heart was already fluttered with his devastating looks. "Well, I can definitely help you." He leaned closer and she took in a deep breath, inhaling his overpowering masculine scent. "But on one condition." He paused, increasing the electrifying temsion between them. " In the right time, I'll take something from you in return," his profoundly blue eyes twinkling with devilish intentions. "And you won't be allowed to refuse." "Whatever you want," she murmured, fluttering her long lashes. Her mind warned her to run away as suddenly he seemed dangerous. Except she didn't. *** Hungry for more? Read the parts of Infinity Coven !Complete

The Moon's Silent Steps
Cecilia was born to dance, but it was the night the moon wept that she was truly transformed. Alone in the quiet of her garden, she witnessed an impossible phenomenon: a single silver tear fell from the sky, shimmering as it struck her brow. From that moment, her life was no longer her own. Onstage, her movements became transcendent, hypnotic. The audience swayed with her as if pulled by an invisible tide, their breaths rising and falling in unison with her every pirouette. The moon had chosen her, granting her powers over water, dreams, and the delicate threads of emotion. But these gifts came with an ache, a sense of longing she couldn't explain-a yearning for something, or someone, she had yet to encounter. When her ballet company merges with another, Cecilia meets Achlys, a dancer whose presence feels as inevitable as the moonlight she wields. Achlys moves like shadow incarnate, his steps sharp and deliberate, as though carving the darkness itself. His secrets are deep, his gaze piercing, and though he speaks little, Cecilia feels their destinies entwined. Together, they are cast as the leads in The Phantom Swan, a ballet as haunting as it is beautiful. Cecilia's role as the luminous swan is mirrored by Achlys as the shadow that pursues her, their onstage chemistry an echo of something far older than either of them. Yet, as rehearsals progress, Cecilia's powers grow stronger-and more dangerous. Achlys presence seems to draw them out, and the tides within her threaten to consume her completely. It is only through Achlys that Cecilia learns the truth: the drop of moonlight that touched her was no accident. It was sent by the moon goddess herself, a celestial being whose influence stretches beyond what either of them can comprehend.

Twisted Love
[Started Writing : 3rd August, 2023] "For fuck sake, leave me alone." I screamed out as tears commenced gathering in my eyes. He said nothing. He just sat there watching me lose my temper.

The devil wants nothing but a favour from her while promising her everything she wants. Morally grey. That's the definition to construe Alex Vesper. Strict, rude, emotionless, focused and evil. He wants nothing but revenge from a certain someone who might have scratched his ego a little bit. And at that time Anastasia was the best option for him.
She was different. She knew that. She could do things that no one else could do. She could hear the thoughts of those around her without trying, and to her, it was a blessing as well as a curse.
