I fled the night they killed my parents. They tried to kill me too, but I got away.

I buried the past and made a new life for myself, hidden in a world without magic. The human world, where fae are little more than stories.

But one night, in the fighting ring where I use the only skills I have to earn a living, my masked opponent pins me down and rips my mask off.

"I thought you were dead," he whispers.

And I know without tearing his own mask off that it's HIM.

He's found me.

- - -

With magic, action, and angsty slow-burn tension, you won't be able to stop turning the pages!

NOTE: While this story is set in the same fictional world as Rachel Morgan's bestselling Creepy Hollow Series (which you can start reading here on Wattpad with The Faerie Guardian and The Faerie Prince), you do not have to read that series before reading this one.

The Touch of Salvation by JuliannaWrights
47 parts Complete Mature
It was on the 500th century of hell that I saw my salvation. He had walked in with a devilish smirk and sharp features. He had walked into my hell...My only goal was to get him out...To make sure he got out safely. The only caveat is, I made him hate me. The things I did to survive are things he can never forgive. And now I am forced to partner with him to ensure the survival of his kingdom and mine. - As the Regent of House Dae within the faerie realm, Adalind made a choice three years ago. That choice kept the people she loved safe and caused her the affection of her mate. She could live with that choice. It's not until her kingdom and her mate's kingdom are forced into a partnership that she has to face painful realties. Perhaps she truly was too broken to be fixed. Perhaps no one could love her and her scars. He has been given many names. The Lord of Shadows. The Shadowbringer. The Broken. All appropriate for the Beta that wields the shadows. After watching his mate murder a child and attack his lands, Goliath has grown cold and closed off to everyone around him, even his dearest friends. He's thrown himself into dangerous missions to forget the face of his true mate. He leaves his kingdom often to forget the face of the most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes on. But he cannot forgive her. He is resolved to live a mateless life. He is resolved to let go of his fae Queen. But his duty calls to work with her kingdom. The safety of his people requires it.

the hunter & her prey by tiishas
37 parts Ongoing
❝ The end of life begins when you drain one from another ❞ Michaela Reid was raised in a household that would be considered anything but normal. From the time her fine motor skills developed, she was taught how to properly grip a dagger and a wooden stake. Her parents always told stories of scary monsters that would come to drain your life force if you left your window open at night time and didn't take the proper precautions. As a child, these stories were enough for her to string garlic around her bedframe and seal the entrances to her room. As Michaela got older, she gradually began to think of her parents' warnings as silly bedtime stories and let go of the reins she had around precautions and safety rules. Until one night, 11-year-old Michaela heard a noise in the kitchen and peeked around the corner of her parent's home only to find their blood decorating the floral print on their walls and a dark figure wiping the crimson red from his lips. As she was carried away in the arms of her older sister, fleeing into the night, Michaela vowed to make sure that would be the last family home to be painted red ever again.

To Test My Fate by LolaDeshotel
8 parts Ongoing Mature
My heart was racing. My Lycan danced around in my head as I was meeting with her for the second time now. I froze as her eyes met with mine again. Only this time I saw her more clearly. She did not smell of the rouge that was lying before me 2 years ago, and her weakened figure was replaced by a symphony of curves that was blessed by the moon goddess. Her face was perfect, with the most seductive lips I have ever seen on a she wolf. However, there was also something strangely powerful about my beautiful mate sitting before me. I cursed to myself quietly. I knew that hated me because of the way that she has been treated these last few years inside of my kingdom. And I deserved that. However she was still mine, and no one was to touch her. Not even my gamma. Not even the Luna... There wasn't always tension between Alexander and the rouge werewolves around his kingdom. Not until one killed his first fated mate, and disappeared into the wilderness. Now, every rouge that he encounters is either severely punished, or worst. Deciding to rekindle his relationship with his childhood sweetheart, and now Luna, he encounters a huge problem. He is drawn to his new fated mate more than he could ever imagine, meeting her for a second after almost rejecting her and even wanting her dead. It is also around this time as well that his current Luna is now being looked at through new lenses, thanks to a watchful eye in the kingdom.

Battle. Blood. Entertainment. That's all she had known. This was the reason she was born. Her destiny. She was told to fight, to kill, to hunt for the rest of her life, to entertain those that paid. Not wanting to be told what to do any longer, she decided to leave and find friends to explore the world with. And where else to begin that search than with the Hunter Exam? ↜♡❖♡↝ This is a Killua Zoldyck X fem!Reader story ^///^ !Kind of a slow burn, but filled with lots of fluffy moments! !TW! Mentions of blood, gore, fight-scenes, death, etc. If you are uncomfortable with any of these things, this might not be the best story for you to read! In case you didn't read any of my other books: -My first language isn't English (it's German), so there might be spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, etc. (feel free to point them out :D) -My writing improves as the story goes on! I really hope that I can make this story into something that you'll like, so just give it a try, I guess?

BELLADONNA by authorblossoms
45 parts Complete Mature
Time seemed to slow as his gaze traveled from mine to my lips, his expression softening with unspoken words. It was a fleeting moment of connection amidst the laughter and playfulness, a silent acknowledgment of something unspoken between us. "Can I?" he whispered, his voice barely audible but filled with longing. Instead of answering verbally, I leaned in ever so slightly, a silent invitation reflected in my eyes. The air between us crackled with anticipation as our lips hovered just inches apart, poised to bridge the gap between desire and reality. ♡ ₊ ˚ •¤ ‧ ₊ ✧ ‧₊ ༉ As I stand poised with the knife at their throat, the air crackles with tension, thick and suffocating. It's a battle of wills, a silent struggle between predator and prey, each locked in a precarious dance of defiance and determination. But the figure remains silent, an impenetrable wall of stoicism in the face of my interrogation. Frustration boils within me, driving me to press the blade deeper against their throat in a desperate bid for answers. ♡ ₊ ˚ •¤ ‧ ₊ ✧ ‧₊ ༉ They say "Even devil sits back and take notes when a woman takes revenge." A story of a woman who has turned the whole city upside down and who's name is like a prohibited act because if you speak ill of her she'll make sure to grab your throat and who knows what deadly wrath they will face.
☽✧ Lost In Prythian ✧☾ {Rhysand x OC} by LadyLumy
16 parts Ongoing Mature
Estelle Beaumont just wanted a peaceful hike on her last day of vacation. Instead, one ill-starred moment of curiosity leaves her miraculously stranded in the fictional world of Prythian--a faerie realm full of ruthless court drama, rampant misogyny, and enough deadly magic to keep anyone up at night. Armed with foreknowledge that's only helpful when it isn't actively trying to get her killed, Estelle quickly discovers that living through the story of ACOTAR is far less fun and far more perilous when it's her own basic-ass, untrained mortal life on the line. Her plan is simple: keep her hands off of the plot and survive long enough to find a way back to the family and love she left behind. But the so-called "Mother" clearly has other plans for Estelle, forcing her to confront an unsettling truth--that her role here in Prythian might be far greater than that of a passive observer. As Estelle reluctantly abandons her original plan, uneasy alliances form, old wounds reopen, and fractured trust begins to mend. Love, loss, and scars of the past converge as Estelle slowly starts to see that the family she thought she'd lost might take a new shape, and that the life she left behind might be the only reason she's prepared for the fight ahead. But the cost of shaping Prythian's future--and her own--might be greater than she can bear. After all, it's a future that was never meant to be hers to begin with. And this is all that damned Cauldron's fault... ☆⊱──────⊰ ☽✧☾ ⊱──────⊰☆ A/N: This fanfiction is purely self-indulgent. If you don't like self-insert/iseki like tropes were an original character who read the books ends up in the fictional world as the new main character, you might want to skip this. Somethings will stay very familiar, others will diverge completely, and I plan to add extra world building along the way. Slowburn romance.
