In a world where humans, mages and outcasts (a group of those who have rejected both sides and lived like savages in the wild) are divided, Aria counts herself relatively luckier than the rest. As the second child of the human ruler of the Belgarde kingdom - King Rikard and her step-mother Queen Gia, Aria is a part of the Highborns - the ruling class of the humans, albeit not the heir apparent, who is her half-brother Alexander.

All Highborns who have yet to come of age must attend The Institution, a school funded by Highborn families to educate and prepare the future generation of leaders. Aria and Alexander are both in their final year at The Institution, whereby upon graduation, Alexander will take his rightful place as the Crown Prince in the kingdom. 

Aria on the other hand simply wishes for freedom once her brother is  crowned and she is freed from any expectations. However, all Aria's plans for freedom were halted when her class was ambushed at a school trip and her escape path led her through a portal to Icemere, the snow-stricken land where the mages live.

Caine graduated top of his class at Icemere Academy 3 years ago and has since been one of the strongest fighters at the Circle - a group of magic-wielding defenders for the mage population. Caine is perfect in every way, except unlike the other mages his age, he can't seem to find his soulmate. For mages, finding their soulmate is crucial to strengthen their magic and provide security to their other half as compatible magic is transfusable in case of accidents. Caine has just about given up when a portal suddenly opened up and a Highborn girl - literally - crashes on him. 

Can Aria find answers in a place specifically designed to train mages to stand up against her kingdom and can she find solace in Caine, the mage who she can't seem to shake off?All Rights Reserved

Someone I loved by Irvina19

In the hushed corners of a bustling college campus, Aria, the introverted girl with a heart of steel, was on a solitary mission: to excel in her undergraduate studies and avoid the pitfalls of love at all costs. That was until she met Dwyn, the hot nerd with a devilish charm, whose attractive smile could melt even the iciest of hearts. A seemingly innocuous Bad Boy, Dwyn was a believer in long-lasting relationships. Their worlds collided in a twist of fate, and an unlikely friendship blossomed between the reserved Aria and the enigmatic Dwyn. Despite his reputation, Dwyn couldn't help but fall head over heels for Aria, but the fear of revealing his true feelings gripped him like a vice. Then, one fateful day, the stars shifted in Dwyn's favor as Aria found the courage to confess her feelings. Their love story ignited like a wildfire, filling their college days with an intoxicating blend of passion, intimacy, and the promise of a future brimming with wealth and infinite possibilities. But, like all good things, their love was not without its side effects. Petty fights and miscommunications began to erode their once-impervious bond. It was a testing period for Aria and Dwyn, yet they clung to each other, determined to surmount every hurdle and salvage the love that had brought them together in the first place. Then, in a heart-wrenching twist, Aria made a decision that sent shockwaves through their world. She broke up with Dwyn, leaving their once harmonious relationship in ruins. Their worlds turned upside down, and Dwyn found himself at a crossroads, torn between love and despair. What will Dwyn do? Can he find the strength to mend his shattered heart and rebuild the life he had envisioned with Aria? Will they ever cross paths again, or is this the end of their journey together? How many times will he try to win back the love of his life, and at what cost?

What A Lovely Night by K_A_Knutson

|BOOK 1 IN "WHAT A LOVELY SERIES"| Centuries into the future, earth's humans have changed. After a newly awakened dominant genome triggered the new arrival of superpowers, earth's inhabitants finally became super like their predecessors could have only dreamed of being. With now 50% of the population possessing some kind of power, the earth runs rampant with heroes and villains. And what better to train new aspiring heroes, than thriving hero schools. And better yet, the best one across the world, the Metropolis Hero Academy. Lilith Ito is a rather odd case. With a rather dark past that left Lilith both with no memory of the event and an unclassified type of Dissociative Identity Disorder, Lilith's home life had always been less than perfect. But as she began to acquire powers and a mentor with a similar ability, Lilith began to do something for herself, even without the intentions of a hero. But after her mentor was killed in action, Lilith finally takes one more selfish step and gets into M.H. Academy based on her dead mentor's recommendation letter. But keeping her past from her new classmates is hard. From new friends that Lilith doesn't want to scare away to a boy that somehow has captured her heart, Lilith has got her hands full. And as a hidden evil begins to arise from the shadows, Lilith will have to tackle her new life as a hero student with a clear conviction of whom she wants to be and what she'll sacrifice to get there. But dear reader, you must always remember: Evil still lurks around the corner. TO COMPLY WITH WATTPAD GUIDELINES, THE FOLLOWING BOOK HAS BEEN MARKED AS MATURE FOR ITS GRAPHIC VIOLENCE.

Bite Me ✔ by theGhoulBoys_

《 Highest Ranking: #5 in Vampire 》 "Is that Marcus? Marcus as in, from our High School Marcus!" Casey squeaked. I spun around, not quite believing her, but there he was. He strode through the school like he owned it and my god, he could've. He'd changed over the four years he'd been gone. It was like god himself had carved him from a statue. His cheekbones could cut a finger and a jaw that could slice a hand. He was taller, more muscular. He looked nothing like the boy that went away. He wore a blacket jacket and ripped jeans, his grey eyes studied the school as every female studied him. Suddenly, they slipped past every other person's eyes and landed on mine. No surprise etched his face, it was like he didn't recognise me. Until I saw the corner of his mouth lift up. ~~ Best friends, Diana and Marcus planned to do everything together. They would go to college and live in the same dorm room, they would always be best friends. But, Marcus went away. Without expecting him to return, Diana uses her heartbreak to change her life. She becomes popular in college.. Then one day, he shows up. But he's changed, he's darker, more silent and definitely a lot more hotter. He'd grown taller, his face sharper and he drew eyes from every woman on campus, even the guys. He spoke to no one and didn't even acknowledge her until she spoke to him. But something was very off. Very off, indeed. Cover Design: @newsies- Copyright @tavanalee No Rights Reserved 2018

Olly, Olly by dg4787

Aria never imagined that she would see Oliver again, it had been many years since she had last seen Ollie. He was her best friends brother, and he was off limits, not that he ever noticed her. They had grown up together, attented the same schools, played playground games after school, and hung out at each other's homes. Suddenly right around middle school Aria started to get shy, and awkward whenever Ollie was present, and it got worse the older they got. She'd steal glimpses of him whenever possible, and yet, never admitted it to anyone, let alone Ollie. Then life happened, and they grew up, and they all went there separate ways. One day, Aria spots Ollie in the distance, and she immediately becomes entranced at the sight of him. Oliver was older now, but she quickly recognized him. She would know, as she had stolen many moments staring, studying his face, and she could definitely spot those eyes anywhere. They are suddenly forced to face each other, and she realizes that she quickly becomes that awkward shy school girl all over again. He is familiar to her, but yet, still different, as he is a soldier who hasn't quite left the battlefield. Standing so close to him, she can't help but try to steal a closer look at him, but she quickly realizes that this time- he is staring back at her, and he isn't even trying to hide it. His eyes are immediately locked on her at the first sight.
