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. **

Sofia Volkov is a girl who's the very picture of a goddess. She is wealthy. She has enough beauty to spare. She has the smarts of a genius and is pretty hefty with a knife. But what if her own knife is hurting her? What if she's great but not the best? Not like her Twin. *** Lorenzo Harper, a man with very few words to spare- or none to say. His lips have been sealed and locked for more then a decade but the reason is just as a mystery to his loved ones as it is to himself. His parents adore him as equally as his baby sister yet he still acts the way he does. He's cold, he's silent, he's deadly and he is holding more secrets then a man his age should. *** The two people end up falling inlove- but at what cost? How many unwanted secrets will stay secrets and how many will stay hidden? Betrayals and lies to eachother and everyone around them but who is affected the most in all of this? The woman has never uttered the word please in her life, but what happens when her only surviving option is to beg, not for life or death but for HIM. Because she also holds a secret that could ruin EVERYTHING. The man prides himself on being the cause of bringing destruction and corruption. He's already broken her heart once before so now it's time to do the opposite. Now it's time to do the one thing he promised himself he would never do; fall in love. Both hurt and heal but who says the scale is even? Will their old wounds heal in time? Or will they be opened up again with a little extra salt? Traumas will come out the dark. Secrets that want to hide will be found. History will repeat itself. But is all that for the better or the worse?

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. I love the world and I built and the characters with all my heart but the writing is incredibly outdated and the plot progression is all over the place. I may reuse these characters in the future, but this series has come to an end. I'm sorry to the people who wished to see the story continue, but I hope you'll be able to join me on future fantastical journies once I have time to write more! * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * First Published: Dec. 20, 2018 Finished: Mar. 31, 2020 Finished Publishing: 5-23-2020
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.

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

"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.
