Her life was supposed to be stable.
Not perfect. Not exciting. Just... stable.
A job.
A mortgage.
A routine barely held together with coffee and denial.
But in a world where supernatural beings-known as the Legends walk openly among humans, stability is never guaranteed for long.
When Charlotte loses her job without warning, everything she worked so hard to build begins to crack. Bills don't wait. Time doesn't slow down. And the world she thought she understood is quietly shifting beneath her feet.
The Legends control the best jobs, the best lives, and the kind of power humans can't compete with anymore. Everyone knows it. Everyone accepts it.
Charlotte just tries to survive it.
Until something starts to change.
In a world ruled by fate-bound beings who recognize their mates by instinct alone, Charlotte has always believed she was safely outside that story.
Too ordinary. Too human. Too overlooked.
But fate has never cared about what she believes.
And once the Legends start paying attention... nothing in her life will ever be simple again.
Because some bonds are not chosen.
They are claimed.

The Lycan King's Human Mate
"Stop," the beast growled in my ear. The sound vibrated through my entire body. I froze for a heartbeat from pure shock. He lowered his head beside mine, breath warm against my neck. His voice was low, dangerous... fraying at the edges. "Aurora," he said, "if you run from me again, I will chase you. And I will catch you. His hold tightened as if proving the point. "I will always catch you." Tears spilled down my cheeks. "You're scaring me," I whispered, voice shaking. His breath hitched-barely, but enough that I felt it. For a moment, just a moment, the iron in his grip softened. His hand slid from my waist to my wrist, holding firm but no longer crushing. Then his other arm locked around my upper body, strong enough that escape was impossible. "Aurora," he said, his voice rough, "you cannot run from a bond like this." I shook my head violently. "I'm human! I'm not meant for- for you!" His chest rumbled behind me, a low, frustrated sound. "You are meant for me," he said, lips brushing the shell of my ear. "Fate does not make mistakes."

Luna
Long ago, before humanity became the world it is today, there existed an age untouched by technology or luxury. It was a peaceful era, where humans lived as one-unseparated by language, race, or desire. It was a time of happiness. But it was also an age shadowed by fear. Creatures roamed the land, hunting any human unfortunate enough to cross their path. These beings were not always monsters. Once, they were human-devoted worshippers of the moon, who shaped their lives around its glow. Then the moon betrayed them. Cursed by its power, their ordinary lives were twisted into something monstrous and unforgiving. In her ambition, the Moon Goddess sought to unite man and wolf into a perfect being. Instead, her failure gave birth to a beast-one that tore through the land and shattered the peace of the world. From this mistake began a nightmare. And from that nightmare emerged a fate destined to fall upon Luna-the pure and innocent child of the forest.CompleteThe Rules of Hunger

Why must I suffer for something beyond my control? Why am I cast aside by those I thought were my family? But it's alright. Everything will be alright. Because I will be their downfall.

Harper lives a quiet life off the grid, dedicating her days to running a remote animal rescue sanctuary in the mountains. She has a gift for rehabilitating the most broken, aggressive strays.

Delilah
Decades ago, the world came to a halt as humanity knew it. Wars spurred the worldwide deathrates to a new high, businesses closed, and much of the new technology stopped working altogether. As if life could not get much worse for the surviving humanity that was left, creatures of the night came forth from the shadows, ready to claim what was left of the world's society and kill those who opposed the new regimen. However, all of this was unknown to a young woman you lived with her small family in a quiet town, hidden from the chaos of the outside world. The young woman who lived in this town was called Delilah, and this is her story. Please note that this book is a slow-burn. Yes, there is romance. Yes, like my characters you may be left wanting more. Good stuff takes time, give this book a try. Additionally, I started writing this book while I was fresh out of High School, I am now a junior in college. While the writing was not necessarily bad, it has improved greatly with the more recent chapters. Please keep in mind that as you read and you're thinking to yourself "this grammar sucks," it will eventually get better. #8 in dystopian- 12/21/2025 #2 in castle- 12/22/2025 #3 in beast- 12/22/2025 #6 in human- 3/12/2026 #9 in humanxwerewolf- 3/12/2026 #15 in shifter- 3/12/2026Complete

A little girl with Lydia-my younger half sister, the daughter born from my father's affair. I had spent my entire life trying not to blame her for the betrayal that destroyed my mother's marriage. All the while, I was terrified of repeating my mother's fate. I never imagined my own husband would make me live through almost the exact same thing. I run from the pack, knowing Alphas do not let their true mates go. My only chance is the protection of Gideon Ashcombe, Alistair's longtime rival. But my husband finds me anyway.
Chained To The Wolf Prince
In the slums of Dawnridge, humans dream small. A full stomach. A warm bed. A single golden petal drifting from the Spring Union Parade, said to promise love and a better future. Zaria has stopped believing in fairytales, but she still searches for the petal every year. Because hope is hard to kill. Beyond the crumbling streets of Dawnridge, tension between humans and wolf-shifters grows more dangerous by the day. Villages refuse to unite, old hatred festers, and the borders weaken against the horrors lurking beyond them, from flesh-ripping rotfangs to child-stealing skullcrows and rebels eager to watch the kingdoms burn. When Crown Prince Cassius arrives in his bedridden father's place to restore order, he expects resistance. What he does not expect is her. Cold, ruthless, and fiercely loyal to his kingdom, Cassius believes humans and wolf-shifters should remain separated, though he honours the fragile alliance for the sake of his father's wishes. Then one encounter with a fiery, stubborn human girl changes everything. After fate chains Zaria and Cassius together in ways neither of them expected, they are drawn into a dangerous world of political unrest, buried secrets, deadly creatures, and a bond that threatens everything they thought they knew about loyalty, hatred, and themselves. Because some chains are stronger than iron. And some fates refuse to be broken.Complete

There were three men in the group, one instantly stood out to me even with his back toward me. He had deep black hair and I could tell strong lean muscles were hidden beneath his button-up shirt. I falter in my steps a bit, something in my mind telling me to go another way, to ask someone else for help with directions. But I keep walking closer. Something else within me tells me it will be okay. As I get closer, the two men who were facing my direction look towards me and I stop, keeping a safe distance. Hopefully they are able to help me, and not turn me away just because I'm a human. "Hi, um, could you tell me where the front desk is?" The man whose back was facing towards me stiffened. "I think I'm a little..." The man turned toward me so quickly it made my heartbeat waver. His deep blue eyes pierced into my brown ones and called out to me. His jawline was chiseled to perfection, lips parted slightly in awe. Every feature of his face was meticulously handcrafted by God. I never thought I could find a wolf so elegant. He was...beautiful. Something in the air shifted. I could feel it in my bones. "...lost," I finished my sentence after a brief pause. No one answered me. Did I say something wrong? I look between the three of them and see that the two men behind the man who was staring so intently at me were looking between me and him. "Mate."
