One thousand years ago, an asteroid hit the Earth carrying a virus that changed humanity forever. No longer were humans at the top of the food chain. They were forced to live underground away from any infected and scorched land. For 200 years, colonies searched for a cure to the virus with zero success. That was until she was born.
Nix Lancaster had no idea what her birth meant. No one in the colonies did. She was an anomaly, an impossibility, and yet there she was. Hated and feared her whole life, Nix learned to keep to the shadows. In the shadows, she uncovers the dreadful truth that is being kept from everyone in the colonies. She must piece together what it means and what to do with this destructive truth. She holds the power that could destroy the stability of everything around her. What is she to do?

Paradise Blight
The first terraformed world, Tau Ceti Four, was now ready for colonization. Some called it Paradise, and it seemed a fitting name. The initial conditions before the terraforming began were perfect, too perfect for botanist Mora Torr. Something was not right. Engineer Gan Finn came over with the other colonists on the Ark Hope ship. He, like Mora, was as much running away from an anguished past as seeking Paradise. But twelve light-years distance itself does not cure broken hearts. "So, are there any alien jubjub birds, bandersnatches, or jabberwocks around here I should be worried about?" Laughter rolled from her mouth at the Alice in Wonderland reference. "Oh, nothing like that. It's not the big scary creatures we should worry about, besides other humans that is, but the tiny ones. History has shown us that things like bacteria, virus, and small parasites are the real killers. The deadliest creature in all the human history is a mosquito with a pathogen." ** Re-edited ** ** Open Novella II - Short List and Ambassador Pick ** ** Wattpad Editor's Choice (January 2020) **Complete
Her Mate - Olivia (The Gray Wolves Series #1)
Suddenly, I feel a hand that intertwines mine. The touch is warm but still not enough to comfort me after the news I've just got. I feel someone is leading me out of the office. Nothing is really clear to me. I barely see my parents, Julie and Eli's face as the hand keeps on pulling me away from them. No more links with Elijah. I don't know if I closed my mind or if he did. But I can't feel him anymore. My feet follow the lead. I raise my head and I see that the Prince is calmly leading me to the stairs. Before we start to climb the stairs, I feel a hand on my lower back while the other is still intertwined with mine. The Prince looks at me and no emotions can be read on his face. Does he have a heart? Can lycan love as gently as wolves? A wolf would be difficult to live with as a human. How is it going to work with a lycan? Is it even possible? I've never heard of such a thing. What has Moon Goddess done? Olivia is the daughter of the Blue Lakes Pack's Alpha and twin sister of the soon-to-be Alpha. Despite her Alpha bloodline, Olivia never got the chance to meet her wolf. Without a wolf, Olivia has the choice to stay in her pack or travel the world and live among humans. But the day she turns 20, when her brother becomes the new Alpha, nothing goes as expected. When some rebellious wolves threaten to attack, the Royal Lycan Family decides to send one of the Princes to take care of the situation.

Into The Unknown
After a catastrophic war and a deadly virus that plagued the world, humanity is left divided, hunting each other down and murdering for vengeance... Or purely for fun. With humanity on the brink of extinction, and another war on the rise, a survivor is revived, given a chance to maybe, just maybe, save the world. ...And all she can remember is her name. ______________________________________ There is a name for those who mutated to survive the virus. I'm not talking about the immune, who can flush the disease straight from their system. I'm talking about The Freaks. If you listen to the rumours, after the Deathwave they started appearing from the wastes, people with no soul or conscience, although once human they now could be described as monsters. You'd think I'd agree, seeing as I ran away from them. But from where I stand, it's Humans who are the monsters.Complete

In a world where survival is a daily struggle, follow the journey of a resilient survivor as they navigate a shattered Earth teeming with terrifying beasts and ruthless factions. Amidst the ruins of the old world, the protagonist must uncover the truth behind the T-virus, confront the horrors it unleashed, and fight to reclaim a future-or risk losing everything to the relentless tide of chaos. Will civilization rise from the ashes, or will the Age of Chaos consume all?

***CURRENTLY UNDERGOING MASS NARRATIVE OVERHAUL - PLEASE GO TO MY NEW BOOK 'INHUMAN (NEW)' ON MY PROFILE. I'VE DECIDED TO TAKE THE NARRATIVE IN A NEW DIRECTION AND WILL BE TRYING TO RETURN TO, REVISE AND ADD TO THE STORY MORE OFTEN. THANK YOU! *** Beth: I'm one of the many working to find a cure for the virus so that humanity can live and die naturally once more. The difference between me and the others looking for a cure is I've found something that could lead to one - and it could change everything. I know I'm being watched. I know that I'm in danger. Some don't want to go back to the old ways. They say we deserve our curse and that it's our eternal punishment for the crimes committed by our ancestors. I say to hell with them. Whatever is causing us to die before our time isn't natural. I'll fight until my dying breath to find a cure. Jay: She thinks she knows the truth, but she only knows one part of an even bigger lie. I don't know if I can trust her, but still I have to try. If I can save her, it might be the beginning of a new era. If I can save her, maybe she can save us all. Generations of humanity have been plagued by the virus ever since an extremist group unleashed it. Hope has all but faded. Humanity it seems is lost. All efforts to find a cure have failed. Until now.Complete
