PROLOGUE
There is a world called planet Earth. Trillions of people who live on this planet are individually unique. Some are barely making ends meet, some are just trying to survive, and some are living luxuriously. There are a lot of happenings on this planet, and it is the busiest, most crowded, the most emotional of all the other neighboring worlds, most of all, the most mysterious. Because of this, danger, sinister, and evil are also lurking on this planet, waiting, exploring, evolving, and eventually destroying and conquering the world. Well, that is how they would want it.
Not that I am intentionally categorizing humans on this planet. I am Celeste Akira, twenty years old, who lives in Seattle; although I am barely there, I would still call it home. I am like other people on this planet who would fall under average. I got lucky, I guess. I am fortunate to live my dream career, which provides me with a roof over my head and three meals a day. However, I become lonely at night and sometimes feel empty, as if my life is not complete. Do you know that phrase "curiosity killed the cat"? This curiosity is why I am here, in this place, unknown to the world and the rest of civilization, my current society, that is.
"How in the world did you get yourself there?" One would ask, and I would answer, "because of my curiosity and hair." Yes, indeed, my hair.

Haunted Eyes
#6 in suicide silence 10/05/25 "Jasper didn't look up. His entire frame was curled around her, shielding her body like he thought he could keep death out if he just held her tight enough." ~~ Evangeline never asked to inherit her mother's bloodline - a legacy steeped in prophecy, betrayal, and powers too dangerous to name. All she wants is to survive. But when she's torn from the life she knew and thrust into a hidden world of wolves, witches, and war, survival means facing the truth she's been running from. Haunted by trauma and hunted by those who claim to love her, Evangeline struggles to control gifts that feel more like a curse. Trust is a luxury she can't afford-until Jasper, the fierce Alpha bound by duty and desire, vows to protect her even from herself. But every step toward him brings her closer to the shadows of her past...and the father who will stop at nothing to destroy her. In a world where the line between life and death blurs, can her haunted eyes still see the light? Keep in mind that you may not always like what the characters do, or feel, but this story is about understanding their humanity and the choices they make in extraordinary circumstances. Warning ⚠️ mentions of suicidal ideation and suicidal tendencies, depression, anxiety, sexual/physical assault, domestic violence, and possible self harm. ⚠️ viewer discretion is advised

Zenith: Hero's Journey
"Do you know what every hero has in common? They bleed, they suffer, they save the world-only to be broken, forgotten, left to rot. Not a single one gets peace. Not a single one gets a happy ending. But me? I will end this cycle. I will give the world a better story-one where the heroes win, and finally get the ending they deserve." In the fractured world of Zenith, where divine relics pulse beneath the earth and rifts spill nightmares into the sky, fate forges an unlikely alliance to defy annihilation. Valen, a rare Pantheon from Corinthia, is gifted with the Hero's Journey-the power to relive and wield the strength of long-dead heroes. At his side stands Ashley, a Flameborn forged in discipline and duty, a steadfast protector whose fiery will shields her allies. With them is Riley, a charismatic Verdant whose humor and warmth mask a deep empathy. But their fragile balance is threatened by Nyx, an enigmatic Azrael bound by an unsettling connection to the very rifts they fight to destroy. Together, they must uncover the truth behind the rifts and the power hidden within their souls. Yet in a world where memory is power and prophecy a weapon, every step forward draws them closer to becoming another tragedy in the endless cycle of forgotten heroes.

Trapping Quincy (Caspian and Quincy)
He teases her. He challenges her. He fascinates her while he irritates her like no other. He drives her insane. He makes her...ughh, so mad she could scream! The only thing he won't do is let her go. Quincy: I'm a human living among the werewolves. My mom is a werewolf. She had a drunken fun one night with a stranger, a human. The union was not supposed to bear an offspring. I'm not supposed to happen, but here I am, an outsider. They all hate me but my Nana loved me. Then Nana died. They moved me to the pack house. Now, their old Alpha three times my age wants to make me his. That is not the life I signed up for. My Nana nurtured me a dream to go off to college. So I run. I run not because I'm a coward. I run to save myself. I will have nothing to do with their kind anymore. I'll be a normal human among other normal humans. I'll be so normal, even the most average normal humans will feel like freaks next to my normal ass. They will bow down before me and call me Queen Normal. Then I see him. The best specimen of men...but I know he's not human. He's not a werewolf either, so what is he? There's this pull between us but I know I shouldn't get close to his kind...whatever he is. The trouble is, he won't leave me alone. Caspian: I've been looking for my erasthai for decades. My mother dearest, the queen of all werewolves and lycans is pressuring me to marry Lady Celeste. I'm supposed to take over the throne from my father and make lady Celeste my queen. I want nothing to do with her. I want my erasthai. Then I saw her. She's a human. The most beautiful mesmerizing creature ever, and she's mine! I thought it's going to be easy. It should have been easy. Come on, ALL girls want me. I mean, look at me. I'm gorgeous! Mirrors weep when I walk past them. She refused to give me the time of the day. Well, too bad princess. I'm not about to let you get away. I'll crush all other competitions. I'm Prince Caspian. I always get what I want.Complete
Drain My Soul
- CONTENTS MATURE! 18+ scenes - Celeste believed nothing more than being a normal girl, in a normal street, in a normal world but nothing can just be normal? Right? Well this idea of a normal life, stops for Celeste and she goes back to her parents home town, where she is forced by law to a mating ball and is convinced she is something she is not.... But when she meets a blue eyed handsome man that is not who he seems, she is intrigued and is ready to explore. Follow Celeste on her journey to find out who she really is, discover the world she believes is insane and will these blue eyes help her? ------ "I effect you as much as you effect me and it pains me to see my mate with another" he whispers in my ear. I gulp deeply and I want to drop to my knees, to plead that my life is in his hands. Although I gulp and shake my head. "Fine, but I'll be there and I'll be watching!" He whispers in hush tones. I gulp and feel the pain again in my chest. His blue eyes come back to my own and I don't even give him a smirk. He lets go of my jaw and with in a flash I see him leave. The thought in my mind is that my mate is fucking hot and I don't know how long I can deny that for or deny the inseparable connection between us. ---- A/N Just a quick note to say that this book indeed does need heavy editing and as a Co-writer I find this story not in my favour. I know the main character Celeste may come across as mean and as a comment mentioned 'annoying' this book will go through editing. But I'd you choose to still read then fantastic! It's our first 'mate' and 'vampire' book so please be kind and all comments will be taken into consideration. Thank you L&R xComplete
Ophelia
Have you ever walked outside at night? When it's so dark and you can't see a thing at first? I often do that and I'm never afraid. Because I know that after a while my eyes will adjust to the dark and I will be able to make things stand out. I'm always safe. I always know where I am. But not today, it was so dark, all I could see was a suffocating darkness around me. Aria my wolf huffed in annoyance when even she couldn't see a thing or couldn't pick up a scent around us. 'Ophelia, what's happening?' she muttered. 'I don't know' I whispered back aloud. The words had barely left my mouth when I heard something running quickly in our direction. I ran, not knowing what direction I was going. I tripped over something and fell flat on my face. Feeling a presence behind me I screamed and tried to crawl away...Complete
Altered
Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.Complete
