Kestra has never been normal. Not since the day she discovered she was a Mara Beast, which were once an exalted race of humans with special connections with animals. They were once considered gifted, but now they are only viewed as myths and cursed beings of the human race. She's spent her whole life hiding until an old friend of her father brought her to Everest Academy. But someone at the Academy is hiding a secret. Now Kestra must navigate her new life, survive fierce competition among the other students and attempt to ignore her growing attraction to one of her fellow classmates, Fabian who seems determined to get close to her, as she searches for answers.

When Wings Collide
Getting shoved into a floating sky kingdom full of supernatural psychos was not on Alina Stormpaw's bucket list. But humans signed some "obey or die slowly" contract, so now every magical kid gets dumped in Etharia whether they like it or not. Most students teleport or ride glitchy flying cars to school. Alina? She flew her own damn wings up there. Because rules can kiss her ass. Now she's stuck in Etharia Sky Academy, surrounded by stone-skinned gargoyles, fiery phoenix kids, attitude-soaked sirens, and enough random powers to start a magical apocalypse. And then there's Lucas Moorea. Shadow wolf. Golden boy. Walking ego problem with fangs. He thinks he owns the school. She thinks he needs to be drop-kicked off the nearest cloud. Too bad fate (and their equally sharp teeth) won't let them ignore each other. She can see through his shadows. He can't poison her no matter how hard fate tries. They're the same size in beast form, the same level of dangerous, and absolutely the same level of stubborn. Etharia might be ready for war. But it sure as hell isn't ready for them. ------------------

BURNING PASSION | BOOK 1✔️
"Kassauni, there is more to life than continuous pain and suffering. I am sure you know that, and no one is asking you to go through it alone," She told me. I took a long drag from the blunt and held it in my lungs before releasing it. "Whatever yah talk 'bout sound like a fairy tale and mi nuh want yuh feel like me is a problem fi yuh fix," I stated, staring into her eyes. She frowned, deeply. "You need to talk to someone, or me. I am here for you if you need anything." Her voice came out softer than usual. "Rosalia, left that. It nuh concern yuh," I told her. She hissed her teeth and slapped the blunt out of my hand. "Mi try talk to yuh, but if yuh nah go at least try to get help then mi nuh need fi deh here. Stay by yuhself since a that yuh fucking want." She turned and started walking away. // He was abandoned by his parents. Time and time again they let him down, not realizing that each time it was draining him. He isn't the most sentimental guy, probably one of the most nonchalant and controlling people you've ever met. She was sweet and came from what people would call the perfect family. In a short time, she made him indecisive and question himself. Peeled away every armor he had shielding his insecurities. She broke him but stood by him while he rebuilt himself into a better man. The man he always wanted to be. The man he knew she deserved. _______________________________ - Mature Content (18+) - ViolenceComplete![Understanding Me; Krel Tarron x Reader [3Below]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/283793114-256-k463714.jpg)
