Reunited again.

Boris Downing is finally free from the clutches of Absalom and is taken to join the Mortal Guard alongside Tyler Finlay, Nicholas Flynn, Richard Seife, Pierce Tucker, and Leah Downing's coven of witches. They acclimate quite nicely, but the fear of Absalom's return never quite leaves anyone.

Then the consequences begin. Not only do Darkness Doors begin opening up in random places in Austin due to the witches being gone from the mortal realm, the Liar continues its murder spree in the residences of Mortal Guard members. For some unexplainable reason, Catastrophe Sect neglects to do anything . . .

Nick and Richard continue to explore their romantic relationship and grapple with their identities as Virtues while being put on perilous cases by The Mortal Guard in the hopes of unlocking their special weapons. Boris and Tyler find it difficult to stray from the dark path they had already been fated to go down. Not to mention, the prospect of either Nick or Boris eventually killing the other hangs over everyone's heads. An unexpected development occurs when their friend Adrian Laurentin's deepest secret comes to light and the entire group of animals will be tested because of it.

Beyond Prostasia, the malevolent fox, King, and his group of vampires, The Black Cross, work in the shadows, plotting something that will change the foundation of the world as everyone knows it. The leader of The Black Cross, Ivan, begins to uncover the murky depths of his devotion to King. Relentless, biting, and soaked in blood; the insanity only ramps up in the sequel to Static Reflections: The Terror Gaze! 

How far can one animal's limits be stretched?

"You were made for me. And I, for you." His breath is right beside my ear and I tightly shut my eyes closed. He leans down closer. "I was made to love you. To fuck you," My breath catches at the last part. I'm suddenly thinking naughty things and I can't help it. I'm imagining him taking me in his office. On this desk. Feeling what his tongue would taste like. He pulls back lightly and deeply inhales. If possible, his eyes darken even more. They're almost as dark as the night. "I know you want me too, Adira." ****************************************************** Strong. Intimidating. Cunning. Resilient. All characteristics that he embodies. Klayton was a storm, and she was the rainbow that followed the chaos.

I want moreeeeee I'm already in love with this book!" -@GossipGirlzsx ______________________________________ What if you grew up your whole life thinking you were human? What if you lived your entire life thinking you were just an insane child that no one wanted? One day, you were just dropped off at an orphanage with not a bit of information about you, but a code tattooed to your collarbone. What exactly does that make of you? Something a little crazy, that's for sure. Between the voices in her head and the constant murderous thoughts, it didn't surprise Arden that she was moved from an orphanage to a mental hospital at just thirteen. Four years of imprisonment with some of America's most insane, getting out was like a breath of fresh air. That is until she gets caught up with a pack of wolves who's main goal in life is to kill anyone around them. It just so happens that the only thing that keeps Arden from having an extremely short-lived freedom is the interest the alpha shows toward her seeing as they are destined for one another. Growing up for Kieran, the alpha, wasn't exactly a walk in the park either, though. Being taught all his life never to grow attached and tear apart anyone who tested him, isn't exactly helpful in the situation of having a mate. Poor Arden, having to learn to love someone more feral than the most savage of rogues and slightly more insane than herself. Not to mention, the never-ending battle between pack-wolves and shredders never quite giving any of them a break. sequel to: The Alpha Calls Me Kitten ≪ Do not have to read^^ in order to thoroughly understand content ≫ © All Rights Reserved 2015

Alex just left Nigel with only leaving a message on a note, telling him he probably comes back - only if possible. Obviously this is a hit in the face for Nigel. The first few months are terrible, and it only gets worse as he gets no word from Alex. No sign of him that could possibly give him some strength to go on. After more months, he loses his hope, killing everyone around as if that would make anything better. Nigel gets locked up in an asylum, declared for mentally unstable: charged for many, many murders. And since he doesn't ages, they keep him for experiments. Since they are very religious in there, they believe it's the Devil his son. After eight years, somehow Nigel keeps seeing this blonde-reddish boy visiting him. He tells him stories, being all cheeky and forces him to wait. The doctors around are trying anything to get that boy out of Nigel his mind, and when they don't succeed, they decide to use electroshock therapy for that. As Nigel threats to lose Alex, the connection between the two fades a lot. Alex has barely enough strength to stay around, and gets forced to find a body before he disappears forever. Strangely enough a patient passes by during Nigel his therapy. A suspicious girl that always wants to know everything that's going around. Since she is the only weak person of them all in a near distance, Alex gets into her body - being forced to share it with another soul. As soon as Nigel realizes that the girl isn't just somebody, and they can't get away from each other, there's only one option left. But what will happen? Will Alex get his body back?

He's ruthless and unforgiving, but turns out to be crucial to Eden's life and future, with a secret of his own. A man dedicated to his pack, with no care for himself.

Lunar Eclipse by SallyMason1
65 parts Ongoing
A union which was meant to bring peace An encounter in the woods which might destroy it all A scorned mate hell-bent on destruction And two star-crossed lovers whose choices could make or break the balance of nature. In an unforgiving world where teeth and claws rule and life is measured by the survival of the fittest, Raelyn is forced into an arranged union to save her native werewolf pack from war. Struggling to adjust to the life of a submissive she-wolf, she rebels against her abusive mate and his dominant Alpha family, only to be coerced into an inferior role until she finds powers buried deep within her. Far away in another part of the country, Kendrick Raynes, the Northern Light King, is the Alpha at the top. An encounter in the woods turns his life upside down, making him question his loyalty to his pack and his ability as a leader. Following his heart could bring him happiness -- but it could also eradicate the werewolves from existence. Since the beginning of time, the Sentinels have been tasked with guarding the balance of nature. Marush, Sentinel of Metal, wants none of that. Born under the dark cloud of the malediction, he is considered the strongest and most powerful warlock alive, and his sole mission is to find his Na Miodóg, the sacred dagger that is the only weapon that can kill his kind. Nothing will stop him, even if that means he'll wipe the entire werewolf population off the planet, with Raelyn and the Northern Light pack being the first in line. In the end, it will come down to a simple choice -- and a final battle under the watchful eye of the Lunar Eclipse.

I am just about to turn around and head down the alley toward the street when I see two shadows step away from the wall a little farther down from where I am standing. I can't see any features, but I can guess from their statures that they are both men. I don't know what species they are though, but given that they just witnessed me kill a vampire I decide it's time to get the hell out of here. At least they aren't blocking my path to the street. Just as that thought crosses my mind, I hear the back door to the club open and close. I don't want to take my eyes off the men in front of me, but I have to see who just walked out. To assess the new danger. Before turning to look though, I pull out my remaining weapon also hidden in my boot. A silver dagger. It's only really good for killing werewolves, but it can do some damage to other supernaturals too. I give the figures in front of me one last look, they haven't moved at all, and then glance behind me. My breath stops for a moment, and it feels like my heart stops along with it. *** Willow is a witch who hunts down and kills other supernaturals. After the Great Massacre of the Wiccan Community, their population had been decimated. So while they try to rebuild their population and plan their revenge, they take out as many supernaturals as they can. But everything changes for Willow when she meets Keaton, Everett, Aizen, and Devlin. *** *This is a fantasy reverse-harem romance novel.
