All families have secrets. Some are hidden so deep that it's years before you find them out. Sofia Williams has to wait until she was the last of her line, after the death of her grandfather before she discovers the deepest and darkest of her family's secrets.

Unable to accept the sins of her forefathers, she goes about trying to fix the wrongs they've done to one man, a man that's been held prisoner by her family for generations. She discovers his truth as she works to make things right and finds that her destiny is wrapped up with his. Learning about him turns out to be learning things about herself that she never knew, including who she really is.


** This is an older novel, my first entirely original one and I am putting it here while I polish it up for publication. This is a very raw version, not first draft, but early. If you have comments, please let me know. The entire story is here. This is a complete posting. **

"Do you remember calling me 'mate?'" he asked softly, pushing her wild curls away from her face. She blushed deeply, but he wouldn't let her look away. "You heard that?" He nodded with a smile. "It was the first thought she ever shared with me." Skylar pursed her lips. "She likes you very much." "What about you?" he teased gently. "How do you feel about me?" She set her jaw and once again managed to look down her nose at him while staring up at him. "Well... well, I'm rather fond of you, Orion." He let out a relieved laugh and pulled her into his chest again. "What a relief. I was worried it was just me." He nuzzled her temple, inhaling deeply, his dragon fully at peace. The words "I love you" were right on the tip of his tongue, but he knew it was too soon for that. He would have to hold them in just a little while longer. "I'm fond of you, too," he whispered in her ear. <><><><><><><><> Skylar lived her life in fear. Fear of exposure, fear of herself, and fear of her future. As a princess and heir to the kingdom, her future was daunting enough. The fact that she turned into dragon and would be killed if anyone found out made it all the worse. So, Skylar lived in constant conflict with the beast within her, all while training to be queen one day. When a fellow king discovers her secret, she is forced to flee or put her entire family in danger. When she meets Orion, the Alpha of a dragon clan, he helps open up a whole new world to her. In this new world, Skylar discovers who she is supposed to be and what she's been hiding from. She finds the beauty of her beast and a love she only ever dreamed of. But then her new world is threatened. It becomes a matter of kill or be killed, so Skylar's new family, with the help of her old, must rise to the challenge to defeat this threat. Or risk the extinction of her kind.

This was too much, way too much. In half a day, my life had been turned upside down. Just as I was about to fall, the raven transformed into a boy and caught me. The bird had just turned into a boy. What the heck? What was an Avian doing on Lupine territory? * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * After much debate, I decided to discontinue this second book and series.

Journey to true love. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Excerpts: Not knowing what more to say, I give in to the question I've been meaning to ask for hours, with misty eyes, sniffing my snort, I whisper, "Why would you kill him?" "Who?" he pouts, feigning innocence "Jayden! My friend." I hiss Smirking, smugly he shrugs it off, "Don't know." Yanking him closer to me, I spat, "Think harder then." Trying to play it cool, I could make out vulnerability in his eyes , "I was jealous" "Huh?" I stuttered Next moment Jay's pulling me in his embrace, planting wet kisses all over my face, he seductively coos, "You wish to know why I was jealous of another man holding you?" His touch sending warm tingles all over me, not trusting my voice, I merely nod. Reaching down to my left ear, his warm breath fans over my ears , sending bolts of pleasure, he menacingly purrs, "Because even if that was for a few minutes, Jayden was holding my entire exsistence in his hands." .......... ......... .......... ......... .......... ......... .......... ......... Lilac walks over to Ceaser, looks straight into his ocean blue eyes, "The love you'll have for her is to be so deep, that it would be the envy of the ocean itself." Attrius didn't like what he heard, "Undo it, work your magic. Make the bond between our Imprintee and us extinguish. You're her protector after all, protect her." .......... ......... .......... ......... .......... ......... .......... ......... Attrius's was the last to leave the room, his parting words, to his Etherati, "Even if the sun doesn't shine where you are, even if the moon doesn't reach where you are, even if the wind doesn't blow where you are, we will find you. We will always find you." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Highest Rankings; #01- Eternal #01- Triplets #05- Beast #15- Protective #20- Dragon
Ayn's Healing by AMHillmann
54 parts Complete Mature
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 hi

Illusions.

Dragon Bound - The Saga of Flames and Frost by opheliasikes
11 parts Complete Mature
Illara had trained all her life for this moment. She had been chosen - from all eligible women throughout the three kingdoms - to be presented to the dragon. Her noble sacrifice would ensure the safety of her lands for a full year. She glowed with pride at the thought. And any moment now the massive dragon would come soaring over the mountains, his massive strength and awesome power - What was this? Along a rocky pass, moving with the persistence of a love-struck cow, was something metallic. Something shiny. Her heart thundered with panic as the object drew closer and resolved into a shape. For she knew it could ruin everything. It could cause the destruction of all she held dear. It was a knight. * * * Half of all proceeds of the Dragon novelettes benefit battered women's shelters. While this first book is non-explicit, due to the strong sexual content and adult situations in future books, this romantic suspense series is recommended for readers aged 17+. The series is structured for readers to read along as I write them to offer feedback and suggestions on the complex storyline. If you're the style of reader who would prefer to wait until the entire series is finished before you tackle it, that is fine! Simply wait until the series is complete and I'll offer the boxed set. I do that with all of my books. The reason I publish as I write is that I don't write full time and it can sometimes take months for me to finish up a storyline. There are readers who don't want to wait - who would rather read along as I go and stay engaged in the process. That way they can provide feedback and suggestions on the storyline. Whichever way works well for you, I provide an option. I'd love to hear from you at my website at OpheliaSikes.com.
