My mother says my endless curiosity and my need to venture is a curse. Though, I know she only says that because I'm just like my father; who went out to curb his appetite for new experiences and never came home.
Do I feel abandoned? No. How could I? Not when I fully understand the craving... Fae almost never leave Avalon. It's rare, and normally Fae that leave Avalon are forced into exile. Hardly ever do they leave voluntarily. My mother hates to see me leave, and a part of me is ashamed to do so, seeing as I'm basically abandoning her like my father.
But she has my baby brother, Almned, who isn't even 500 yet. And I'm one penalty away from serving time in the Avalonian Guardhouse. Which is ridiculous, considering I have only broken a few rules. Avalon used to be a vast place of freedom, a sanctuary for persecuted Fae, the Homeland where everyone had a voice.
Well... Avalon is not what it used to be... Maybe the Otherworld will be big enough to spread my wings.
***
What happens when a Fae leaves Avalon and befriends a Human? Yes, my book is rated mature. Though, it really isn't THAT bad. I really tried to keep it clean. Also, this is a part 1. Part 2 will come eventually.

The Princess & the Wolf, Ice Cloud Book 1
A princess desperate to protect her child. A lone wolf learning to live again. A kingdom in trouble. And a whimsical little boy who sees what others can't. FOSTER I'm a lone wolf in every sense. Scarred, secretive, and unexpectedly adopted into a ragtag family. When a prince from the Woodland Realm proposes an exchange of favors, I'm sent north to the Ice Cloud Kingdom. Just gather intel. Report back. Simple. Then they drag her into the throne room. Battered, proud, and burning with a defiance I can't ignore. Suddenly, it's not a mission anymore. It's personal. ISOLDE I'm a young widow whose only purpose is protecting my son from my former father-in-law. I never expected to forge an alliance with a wolf shifter or to want more from him than safety. After all I've endured, how can I feel this way for a man I barely know? Still, he's my only chance, and the longer we're together, the more I wonder if I may be his, too. EIRWYN I'm just a little boy, but I know Mama's been sad for a long time. She tries to hide it from me, but I can see it. Then we end up in Isenheim where the ice is mean and rude, and a wolf giant takes her away from me. He'll bring her back, though. Stories never end with mothers staying gone. And once he does, the three of us can figure out how to make the ice nice again.Complete
Tea Time and Cookies: A (not so) Quiet Beginning
Life ended quietly. Rebirth? Not so much. I'd lived a perfectly normal nerd-life: a family, a career, too many hobbies, and a purse full of "just-in-case" items. Gardening, old crafting techniques, reading, manga, animé-especially the alternate-world kind. If I had one regret, it was not traveling as much as I'd wanted. But all things end eventually. I expected nothingness... or whatever reward awaited after a long, fulfilling life. Instead, I woke up to the very real problem of a massive creature trying to eat me. I'd been reborn into another world. I should have been thrilled, right? With very little to go on-aside from the fact that magic existed here-I decided the smartest approach was to keep a low profile and train like crazy. Survive first. Explore later. My new family seemed pleasantly surprised (and occasionally alarmed) by my dedication to both physical and magical training. And once I started attending school, I made fast friends... then accidentally convinced them to apprentice under my father. The more the merrier, I figured. But hiding my abilities is proving harder than expected, and the more I grow, the more certain people seem unsettled by my existence. Surviving to adulthood may be the real challenge. *This is a slow-burn, coming-of-age story with early magic training. It is not a romance-yet. **This series is marked Mature not for explicit content in this volume, but because later books will include heavier themes. I prefer to err on the side of caution. ***I am a Canadian author.

Release Me
Highest ranked- #10 in action 2/16/2017 A promotion. That's all I wanted. I didn't want to run for my life. I didn't want to be kidnapped. I didn't want to face death. I didn't want to find out my whole life was a lie. I just wanted a bloody promotion. Guess fate had other plans? **** The cold air fanned over my face as I opened the door. The exit door lead to the back of the building so it was pitch black. I leaned against the wall trying to control myself. Blood was running down my arm and head. My hair was stuck to my face from all the sweat and blood. Everything was spinning around me and the ground seemed like it was shaking. Groaning I sat down and put my head on my knees. He knows who I am. He knows how I look like. He knows where I work so possible knows where I live. I am not safe anymore... no where. While I was in my own world I heard faint sounds behind me but I didn't bother to look or run away. The footsteps got closer and I was pretty sure it was Walker's men. I should run. I should try to fight. But what's the point in trying to run away? He would eventually find me and if he has his way he would most likely kill me. If this is my fate then why am I trying to fight it? I felt someone harshly grab my waist and pull me up and I complied. They dragged me down the alley and into the busy street. I heard the opening of a car and the next thing I knew I was being thrown into a car. My head hit the hard leather seat and the door shut behind me. Maybe this is how my life will end. Maybe I should just let it happen. Maybe I was destined to die alone as a no one. With that I let the darkness consume me.Complete

Becoming Her Dark Side
They lied to me. My own family. My so-called friends. All of them hiding the truth, that we're tied to the criminal underworld, a forte where my family, the Storms, are the undisputed kings. Then everything falls apart. My dad gets framed. My cousin ends up dead. And the boy I've had a childhood crush on-Nathaniel-turns out to be the one who could destroy me. At least Luke, the one person I shouldn't want, fights to keep me from breaking... but even he has secrets. But it's gets even worse, because now an organization is rising from the shadows, an organization that opposes everything my family stands for. And in a family of warmongers and sociopaths, I stood out as a glaring weakness. The most normal, the most vulnerable, and the most efficient way to end a dynasty that has ruled for centuries. Because what is a throne without an heir, and a crown without its king. So here I am, stuck in a game of blood and betrayal where the only way to survive is to stop being the fragile girl they thought I was. If I have to burn bridges, spill blood, and embrace the monster inside me, then so be it. Because this time, I'm not running from my darkness. I'm becoming it.
It Comes the Dawn (Merlin Fanfiction)
After every dusk and the darkest hour it always comes the dawn. ~ What if Merlin managed to take Arthur to Avalon? What if Arthur lived? Will they build a fair and just kingdom they dreamt of? Story begins from the moment when Merlin reveals his secret to Arthur. First and second chapter are quite similar to the events from the last episode of season 5, also, I added some changes, so don't get discouraged! 😃 I used it as an introduction to the story.

I never seemed to fit in. My life in Argonia was never as wonderful as I pretended it was. I loved my family, the quirks of my Argonian home and having magic. The problem is there has always been something missing. Watching the love between my sister Matilda and my best friend Xander always made me wish for my life bond. No girl has ever affected me the way Dad had told me I would recognise my life bond. It saddened me a lot of the time, though I pretended it didn't bother me. Was I stupid for wanting the kind of love my sister has had her whole life? I always felt alone, separate from everyone else, even my own twin. That was why I was happy to work on Earth with Dad. I had to escape a world that never seemed to understand me. I met her that day and I knew she was mine. I went to get my father a coffee and instead I found my life bond. The only problem is she's human.Complete
