Titania by EriAeternum

Stars, they are light, they are warmth, they are unlimited. . . All her life, young Titania has wanted nothing more than to be something other than her planet's Keeper of Stars. She is able to see into a star and reveal what is inside; wishes, secrets, memories and so much more. She wants to use her gift for something more than tending to the needs of her people. She wants to share what she can do and all she is. When she accidentally uses her ability on herself she is transported off of her planet, Venstri, and ends up crash landing on earth but she wasn't expecting to land right into the territory of her mate, the alpha of a werewolf pack. She learns that everything she has ever longed for has been on this new world all this time, but something she never saw coming was being mistaken for a supernatural being known as an aeteri, and Titania plays along in fear that if anyone knew the truth of what she truly is, they would make her leave the home she grows to love to protect their future. With her growing paranoia of being caught impersonating the aeteri, the possibility of her people coming to earth to take her back, and a mate she lies to every day about who she is, Titania tries her hardest to keep her secret safe. Titania knows her people are looking for her, she knows she needs to come clean about who she is but the further she digs in her hole of lies, the harder it becomes to get herself out and the more problematic her situation becomes. She only ever wanted to share her gift with the world, but once she learns the truth about who she is meant to be, she realizes the world isn't quite ready for what she has to offer, or the universe for that matter. ********** An Aeterian Story- Third Book Book Order: The Alpha's Eversor Athena Titania
