Falina Gatti was born Blessed. Not by a priest or anyone like that, but by the Egyptian deity, Bastet. And because she is Blessed, she has access to a few supernatural abilities. However, being Blessed isn't all it's cracked up to be. Like all the Blessed that came before her, Falina must find a partner and perform the Rites of the Blessed by the time she turns twenty-one or she will become one of the Cursed. Cursed to lose the abilities Bastet gifted her, and eventually, her humanity.
As the owner of a prosperous shop in her large village, Falina is highly sought after as a wife. Finding her partner should be easy. But the girl Blessed by Bastet wants nothing to do with any of them. Despite her tenacious vexation for her suitors, Falina's parents demand she find her other half and perform the Rites of the Blessed.
Taking matters into her own hands, Falina tasks her suitors with a quest: They have one week to find and bring to her - alive and unharmed - the notoriously astute village cat that has never been touched by human hands. The one who could perform such a task would be her partner.
The catch? Falina herself is the cat, and she has no intention of getting caught.

Crown of Greed and Power
["You look like hell," she stated at last. Azlan scoffed, "Likewise." She continued to study him through suspicious eyes and he couldn't help but wonder what she looked like beneath all the dried blood. He could tell she was unique though, definitely intriguing. ### "You think you know everything?" She turned to him in challenge, but Azlan only stared the female down, unbothered. "You don't know anything." "Don't I? It doesn't take a person with eyes to recognize all that built up anger and pain sizzling inside you." "Stay the fuck out of my business."] While grieving the loss of her boyfriend, huntress Nera Atherton made it to her mission to kill every beast she can hunt down to avenge her love.

Shadow of the Prince
"A fantastical cross between the Beauty and the Beast and ACOTAR." A prince, a witch, and a wolf are tied together by the sins of their parents. Can they break free of the secrets that bind them, or will the Kingdom of Eidas forever be under a terrible curse? Dalia Leary, the eighteen-year-old daughter of an outcast Seer and a downtrodden merchant, lives in a city steeped in lore and magic, where the gods rule the seasons and the noble half-bloods rule the people. The kingdom of Eidas is down on its luck, facing mass starvation and economic failure from prolonged droughts. Dal's mother seems certain that there is a strange, simple solution to both their problems and those of Eidas'. Dal just has to marry the Prince of Eidas, Prince Tullvomm. Easy, right? Of course not. The Prince is nearly ten years her senior, and engaged to be married to the beautiful Princess of the East. She is nothing more besides a common girl from Bridgewater Avenue. Besides the obvious issues of his princess fiancée and her very un-noble birth, there's one other small little problem - Prince Tullvomm is never seen without his pitch-black wolf at his side - his beastly protector. The more Dal tries to get close to the Prince, the more the ghastly wolf seems to always get in the way. Dal realizes that to get access to the Prince she must either befriend the beast or slay him, and though part dog he may be, the beast doesn't seem the type to lie down and roll over. In fact, the more time Dal spends around the creature the less sure she is that he is a dog at all.Complete
Ayn's Healing
Ayn is a witch with healing powers. Shapeshifters have killed her parents and the only animals she cannot speak with are wolves. When she graduates from the Teaching Clan and finds out that she has to cross the River and live in the Wolves' Mountains for one year, she is less than amused. Kari, first-born shapeshifter Alpha, almost lost his wolf after the death of his mate. He could rise again and become the pack leader if only he would complete his training ...and find another suitable Luna. When he realizes that his second chance is his mother's guest, a daydreaming stubborn witch from across the River, he is less than amused. The bond may be a strong force, but can a witch walk the Wolves' Way and face the dangers it is paved with? **** "I need to stop..." I sigh, catching her wrist before her fingers reach the back of my neck, and I untangle her arm from me. She lingers on the recliner but now there is a big gap between our bodies. The warmth she left on my skin is quickly dissipating in the spring night. "Fine." Ayn stands and searches my eyes. Her scowl has my wolf whimper in submission and makes me curse my self-imposed hard line. "I am going to need your hoodie," she orders, stretching her hand out to me. "What?" I exclaim, briefly shocked by both the tone and the content of her words. My hands however are already executing her command, unzipping my jacket. "The last time I was able to sleep, I was covered with your hoodie. Your scent is comforting." She states it plainly as if it would be an obvious and broadly known fact. Like the Earth being round. Like two being a prime number. #1 in Healer - December 2021 #7 in Lycan - December 2022 ~95 000 words Cover photo by Jr Korpa via Unsplash Cover photo by Marc-Olivier Jodoin via Unsplash hiComplete

Protecting the Wolf Prince
Aaliyah is werewolf army born and bred. She is from a long line of werewolves that live to protect their own. But one moment in her life altered her world forever. Suffering with grief, she did the unthinkable in their world and disobeyed a direct order from her superior officer, earning her a dishonourable discharge. Cast out by her father for shaming what he saw was the proud legacy of his line, she moved to the vampire world of Elm'nyth. When a messenger appears with a formal order from the king of her world, Aaliyah is given a second chance at redeeming herself, a chance at earning forgiveness from her father. Returning to the werewolf realm of Askara'velmanti at the height of full moon, Aaliyah happens upon one very fine young man and she spends the night with him, celebrating the tradition that they are accustomed to. She was used to not being what the males of the species saw as a worthy mate, having spent years being a full moon lover to someone and then to have nothing eventuate with them. Waking to an empty apartment the next morning was no surprise to her, she was used to it. Aayliah believed that she was destined to walk the land a lonely woman, never believing she deserved to find her mate. Consequences for actions is something that Aaliyah is used to. She disobeyed her superior officer, she was discharged from the army. She received a dishonourable discharge, her father disowned her. She left the werewolf realm for the vampire realm having little to do with her own world, she knew little of the changes that happened in her absence. She slept with an unknown man at full moon and will now pay the ultimate price for her actions. © These stories and works are copyrighted.
