Fate drove her into the hands of a family of vampires, all of whom brought relief in the slightest touch of her skin. But their touch was more than addicting. With each stroke, mysterious etches appeared on her flesh, divulging information thought to be lost to the world; information of magic, power, and a viciously murdered coven of witches. With no past and an uncertain future, she must find out her purpose in this life before the supernatural world takes her for all she has to give. Even more so, she must attempt to understand a craving she has for the dangerous vampire family she's found herself enslaved to; a craving to be touched.

Sons of Chenia
At one time, Chenia was a great country. With various clans spread from north to south, a sacred brotherhood of riders known as the Shepherds roamed the land, protecting their people in the name of their god Ada.

In the face of a superior force, Nicolai's memory churns. His once hidden past comes to light, offering a way to salvation for Nicolai and his people yet also threatening to destroy him.

Forget Me Not. [Book 1 of Eodum Series]
The story tells how a little girl did everything she can to save her Village from the wolf, but when her Guardian/Witch of the Village comes up with a potion to turn the wolf human (again), they believe everything to go right again, but the potion only turns the beast slightly humane. He still has command over some supernatural abilities, and Madiline (the main female character) takes the situation into her own hands by sacrificing herself. In this story there is a series of Folk tales put into this script that goes along with the story line, for example The Boy Who Cried, "Wolf," is one, and oddly enough Little Red Riding Hood, because oddly enough Madiline wears her Red Hood since she was young. But either way, I hope you check it out and enjoy. Thanks! [Book 1 of Wolf Series]Complete

Between 1764 and 1767, a monstrous predator terrorized the rural province of Gévaudan in southern France. Described as larger than any known wolf, with reddish fur, an elongated snout, and an insatiable thirst for blood, the creature brutally attacked over a hundred people-most of them women and children. As panic spread and rumors of a supernatural beast took hold, desperate villagers, noblemen, and even King Louis XV himself sought to end the bloodshed. Was it a massive wolf, a hybrid creature, or something more sinister? Despite countless hunts, the Beast proved elusive, outsmarting professional killers and evading capture for years. The legend only deepened with tales of silver bullets, secret conspiracies, and a lone hunter's final stand against the creature. Blending historical accounts with immersive storytelling, The Beast of Gévaudan brings to life one of history's most terrifying true stories. Through eyewitness testimonies, period documents, and detailed research, this book unravels the mystery behind the killings, separating fact from fiction. Was the Beast truly slain, or did the terror simply take on another form? Perfect for fans of historical thrillers and true crime, The Beast of Gévaudan is a chilling journey into the heart of one of France's greatest unsolved mysteries.Complete![Euodia's Sun | Your Omegas Are Mine [Soulmate Reverse Harem]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/278713669-256-k267336.jpg)
Euodia's Sun | Your Omegas Are Mine [Soulmate Reverse Harem]
In a post-apocalyptic world where men are Omegas, and women are Alphas... Crushed by a bus, Quinn should be dead. Instead, she found herself in the body of a fictional character- Euodia, the antagonist in an R21 Boys Love apocalyptic novel featuring vampires, shifters and fairies. A villainess who had been killed by the seven main characters, the Omega kings of the uprising. Quinn knew that she should stay out of their path. That the only way for her to live was to survive in the wastelands-a feat that was not difficult with her newfound ability to cast spells and purchase items from her past. But the kingdom came to realise that Omega men could not survive without an Alpha mate; that children were no longer born; and too many females had been killed in the war between Alphas and Omegas. Quinn should be exempted from the Mating Laws. Nobody cared for a Beta-a human-like Alpha that could never satisfy an Omega. Still, they kidnapped her; made her serve the men. And in the elite halls of Azarius, she found the seven kings who had murdered Euodia in cold blood. Her soulmates. And as much as they hated her, they needed her to survive.![Once Bitten [*On Hold*]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/303452302-256-k715716.jpg)
