Most things, no matter the circumstances, can usually be expected to pass with the likelihood of a sudden storm. Be in and out of our paths given enough time. But every so often, time isn't enough. And so very rarely, nothing is enough.

Aspen, a relatively young dragon, has found himself being constantly tantalized by a second-hand force that follows him at a whim of insanity. A mysterious corruption. A being that indirectly controls his thoughts and feelings through torture and spite. Aspen doesn't know the origin of the presence that has always strung over him, but a resentful past has grown this heinous being into power, and now an uncomfortable stalemate has risen between the mentality of this young dragon and the omnipotent shadow that follows him. 

Take to this tale of suspense and paranoia through the eyes of this burdened and broken dragon, in which he undergoes burning dilemmas, scarring anguish, and saddening revelation. Witness the misfortune of chance with the muffed scenarios this story may present through a new and inspiring world. Implore on being lost and clueless to thoughtless resentment and suffering. The mixture of stressful elements that swirl into this life story, as some might say, morph into an imperfect slew of sorrow. Try to be so keen as to pick up on these things as the story continues, but do take care as to not let it go to your head.

Greyenvir Institute is a perfect place to go when one wants to run, one wants to think and one wants to look for themselves. We moved to the year when everything seemed to be okay. Arabella learned to open up more, laugh more, live more, and most of all, love more. After almost losing her life, she decided to live it instead. Everything was fine until they forced a class nobody wanted, a class that forced most to remember events that caused them fear. With all the thoughts and nightmares coming back to her, Arabella thought it best to pull away... again. Caldor on the other hand, didn't seem to like that idea at all, especially now that he's personally training her and learning a lot about her new side. Even after a sickening year, Caldor stuck around the Institute. That year, he mostly kept an eye on the one female trainee. He was so keen on her every action that he never got to realize existed. Not until, he stumbled upon pages, papers, and scrolls that seemed to be out of place in the library, not before he stumbled into a Dragon's cave only to be marked, not before an attack from the summoners that almost had their lives and not before sticking his nose into business he wasn't supposed to and in all, involving Arabella in the process making her a target of a long time nemesis. We all remember the last person interested in Arabella... Will Arabella trust enough to get help from the people who care for her? Will Caldor get out of the trouble he's gotten himself in from someone's secrets? ***This is the second book to the Orders In Greyenvir series***

"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine." All I could do was tremble at his touch. How can someone so beautiful be so heartless? ~~~~~~~~~~ All a 19 year old Aurora Shaw wanted to do was work to make a living and volunteer at the orphanage. Unfortunately for her, ruthless and cunning 26 year old Mafia leader and billionaire Tristan Black had other plans for her. He's been waiting for the perfect moment to kidnap her and finally make her his queen after 2 years of watching and stalking her every move. He'd kill anyone who gets in the way of getting what he wants. What will happen when he ruins everything she wanted and forces her to marry him? Will she escape and resist him? Or will she submit and accept her fate?

When I finish high school and start attending New York University my life takes a turn, for better and for worse. They're back. ☆ 𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐗𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑 𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑 ☆ Years ago we found our little angel.

Thirteen years later and we still mourn the loss of our sweetheart, but we found her once, we will do it again. I am the head of the Russian mafia, or a professor at NYU depending who you ask. One day I raise my head to look around at the sea of students and my eyes lock on a familiar pair of ocean blue irises. ★ 𝐇𝐀𝐘𝐃𝐄𝐍 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐄𝐋𝐋 ★ I'm a heartless killer and offer no apologies for it. As the head of the Russian mafia along with being the CEO to a multibillion dollar company, my life is nothing but darkness.
