Luna Enwright has spent most of her life shying away from people and social situations. Call her socially awkward, however her voluntary isolation takes its roots in a secret that makes social anxiety just a convenient pretence. To her, a simple hug or hand shake feels like her last breath. She soon discovered that these uncanny visions were those of her encounters' deaths. Hence, when she keeps noticing the interest a misty stranger has taken to her, she blames it on her mind and its tricks. Yet, one morning, as he introduces himself as 'Edmond De Revel', a neurobiologist coincidentally working at the same Parisian university as her, she is forced to admit to herself that the stranger was indeed a real person. Unfortunately, that isn't her only realization. What kind of ending did fate reserve this odd man? That was the issue, for the first time, Luna simply couldn't tell.

Where the Crescent Lies
"She carries the moon in her blood-and wolves are starting to remember." She thought she was just a girl with a strange birthmark and a healer's touch. But beneath her skin, something ancient stirs. Layla has lived her life on the fringes of a world divided between shifters and humans-neither prey nor predator, neither pack nor rogue. Her only family is a lioness of a best friend and a body that heals wounds with a whisper. But when a wounded wolf collapses at her feet with gold eyes and a voice that says, "I thought I'd never find you," the quiet unraveling of her truth begins. As moonlight reveals marks no one can explain and instincts begin to whisper in forgotten tongues, Layla is pulled into a world she was never meant to touch. Or maybe... one she was always meant to rule. Because some gods are not reborn. Some are simply returned.Complete
Reveur
It was morning. I stood with closed eyes in the bathroom. I stood at the sink with a mirror in front of me. I felt thin and long fingers on my waist. I knew it was a dream. I felt talons. They didn't hurt me but I had a feeling if I opened my eyes they would. I felt breathing down my spine. Chills and fear shook my whole body. I couldn't look but I wanted so badly to see and know what or who was behind me. A tear of fear slowly slid down my cheek. I gasped in a low voice when I felt a tongue lick it away. More tears started falling when I felt a clawed finger brush the salvia away. I whimpered when I heard it speak: "It's okay. I'm only here to protect you and help you." Lissie is being stalked and she does not know what to do or who to tell. She does not know what is following her. She's got to be dreaming but when the thing following her keeps stalking she realizes that this might not be a dream. But what is it? Where does it come from? Why follow her?Complete

[DISCONTINUED] **MATURE LANGUAGE AND CONTENT** **POSSIBLE TRIGGERS** WATTYS2018 I walk down the staircase, entranced with his sharp, angular features.

THE CURSE - A Whispering Fiend
"How is it possible? A feral beast, dangerous than mine, lived under her skin. Her eyes- they were hollow and bleeding, yet she didn't scream her pain. The job was to never fall in love with her but to kill her." ~ Ocean "He is a pillar, something solid to lean against. Fierce, violent and unmoving, ready to fight for me when everybody I loved left me in the darkness. He told me not to apologize for the madness I possess, because it made me a warrior." ~Devi He loved her and she loved him but it wasn't that simple. The world didn't approve of their union even when the fates sew their souls together. She was a princess turned into the bringer of death and he was a prince protecting the world from her. She was the woman who regrets her birth, and he was the man born for her. [UPDATING SCHEDULE- Thursdays.]
