Zaiya was never average. Not by a long shot. Raised during wartime, her entire childhood was devoted to becoming a warrior, to fighting the ominous 'Shadow Lord' and protecting her country. At eighteen, she joined the army and left her anxious parents with the promise she'd write. And what are you all waiting to hear about? A boyfriend, perhaps? Nope. She'd had suitors since she was twelve, but she never cared. Learning to fight was all that mattered. So now, at twenty-one, Zai is the best of the bunch, with her eye on a promotion. Shadow Lord's forces are cornered. The war is finally pulling into her favor... But this is war, and nothing is certain. And what will happen if the Shadow Lord himself sets his eye on beautiful, un-touched Zaiya?
Only time will tell. Oh Zaiya, be careful. Time is running out...

Dear Z,
"You think you have such a smart mouth, don't you?" She said, so sweetly. So quietly. So deviously. I crossed my arms, the muscles in my arms jumped and strained against the sleeves of my red shirt. "I don't think. I know." "Ooh, poor boy. Suffering from brain injury already. It's alright. I'll let you live your disillusionment." Unable to take it anymore, I bite out. "What are you doing?" "I'm sorry?" "You are acting like I didn't touch your pussy last night." • • • Top naval aviator Zaid Edris has weathered every storm, both in the skies and on the ground, with unwavering precision and strength. A man defined by his principles, his family has always been at the core of his existence. Recently, they've been pushing him toward marriage-something he's never given much thought to, preferring solitude and the quiet chaos of his career. But there's one thing that could make even the most disciplined man falter: Rose Anderson. She's a relentless force of trouble, a cunning troublemaker who knows exactly how to push all his buttons and turn his world upside down. Fierce, untamable, and perpetually infuriating, Rose has always been a thorn in his side. The problem? She's his cousin. Now, caught in the pressure of family expectations and a magnetic, stormy connection with the one woman who drives him insane, Zaid finds himself in a battle he never saw coming. And for the first time in his life, he's not sure if he's fighting for his peace-or for something much more dangerous. (First book of D-Series) Completed.Complete

Old chapters have been made private and new ones will take their place soon enough.) A novel written for my Original Characters and their world which are loosely based on the Sonic The Hedgehog franchise that I've created for my own enjoyment and for my friends. The story follows a mobian hedgehog girl called Sinya, born into thе world of Mobius as part of an artifical sub-species named the "meta-mobians", together with many other characters in a story spanning several chapters and two major arcs (so far), complemented by a bunch of anthology chapters for some self-contained stories (yet to be expanded upon). P. S. This story also includes several characters who are made by friends of mine. (Warning - This novel features violence and some mild gore.)

What does it take to unlock the path of true happiness? For two complete strangers, it's as simple as a wish to escape their sham of a life. But there's a reason you should be careful what you wish for. They'll be put to the ultimate test to determine how far they're willing to go and how hard they're willing to work for the desires of their hearts. ------------------------------------------------------ Zain Lockheart has always been the prime example of "everything that glitters isn't gold". Constantly living as an outcast in the shadow of his parents' fame and riches, he never imagined there'd be more to life than living in a gilded cage. When he meets Saber Blacke at a housewarming, he discovers a kindred spirit in her. She knows all too well what it is to pretend to be content for the sake of image. All it takes is this chance meeting to send them both nosediving into an alternate reality, where a mysterious race of people are suffering the consequences of a rift-inducing war that took place over a century ago. With Saber as his closest companion, Zain quickly transforms from a burden of privilege into the key of salvation for these people and their doomed world. The goal seems simple enough to accomplish: reunite two kingdoms to restore the world to its former glory. But what he isn't counting on is a pair of intruders, watching his every move from the shadows, hellbent on unleashing chaos and destroying this paradise beyond repair forever. Only one thing is certain now: if he ever wants to return home with Saber, they must first survive the harsh trials and unforgiving wilderness of Wonderland.Complete
