Book 3 of the Four Seasons Series:
Life is hard. It is harder on some than on others, some get lemons to make lemonade and others get just a hand full of dirt and are told good luck.
My life is like that, harder than should be necessary, and it has nothing to do with my profession as the temporary Executioner for the Pack as long as Dillan is on his 'vacation'. Everybody knows that the Alpha King Valentino Kabir was forced to send him on a long vacation or was to execute him immediately. I do not mind my job as someone has to do it and I already worked with the others in the Executioner's team so my shift is a big bonus. I just hate, HATE all the burocratics and politics surrounding it.
And as if that wasn't enough of a hassle, FATE decided that nope I wasn't in a bad enough spot and threw in a mate that is a stubborn ass lion shifter and Diana the caretaker of the Oracle in my way. And because I was presented with the summoning for the Next candidate Oracle for the Northern Pack Territories, I have to go to the place I wish to never set foot in.
La Synagogue de Solitude.
Or as normal folks would call it The Solitude. It is a huge ass building dominating the skyline of the small town of Argenmart near the human settlement where Consort Keelan lived before joining the Pack. And it lies near our Southern border. The people that live there are called the Dratnige and follow the religion called Order of the Sinless. They say that the God Ordis; God of Judgement wrote their Holy book: The Books of Souls.
That book contains my name as a candidate for the Next Oracle. Whether I want to or not, the people of The Solitude demand my presence and I feel a tugging sensation in that direction that I need to get there sooner rather than later.

Night Rider
Night Rider - A httyd and Hiccstrid book. -Astrid's pov- 8 years. That's how long it has been. 8 lonely, cold, devastating years of my life that I will never get back. Every night I dream the same dream - every night the same day returns to haunt me over and over. That day dramatically changed my life for the worst. Why did that day happen? Everyone learnt to leave me in peace in the morning. Everyone knew my deepest, darkest secret that changed people's opinions of me forever. Everyone knew my arch enemy, but only 2 people know why he is my arch enemy. My friends still talk to me, just not in the same way as they used to - it's almost as if they are scared of me, or don't want to be associated with me. One day I want this to change. One day I want my life to turn around. One day I will truely be me again. One day I will be happy. One day I will be free. I cannot see that day in the forseeable future, but I know it will come, and I know somehow it is connected to my enemy. *I know that it is an over-used story line but I tried to spice it up a little. Kinda like how you may always eat a Chicken Masala and then you try a Vindaloo - they're both food and both curries but one is different from the other* There are extra chapters at the end containing side-stories of this book. It will make more sense when you read the chapter titled: 'The little boat' near the end of the book, but the actual story is 60 chapters long.Complete
The Alpha Dragon's Prisoner
Tika They delivered me to him on a silver platter. Four years ago I was an ordinary girl with a privileged life. After killing the only family I have left, they call this my penance. As I watch the man they call a monster from underneath my lashes, the handcuffs burn on my wrist. The orange jump suit makes sweat drip down my ample bosom as he growls at me. "Mate" he roars. The others around us freeze as we are lead in line. His eyes never leave me as he gives orders while others call him Alpha. With a snap of his fingers I watch as one of his men shreds himself apart to turn into a hideous beast. As I meet his golden gaze and my world starts to tilt, only one thing is clear. I just became the prisoner of a monster. ~ Xander When I imagined my mate, I saw a woman of strength and great beauty. When I met her eyes for the first time she wasn't in chains. She wasn't a prisoner facing persecution for a crime. I find the sweet scent of her to be contradicting. The way my cock hardens behind my robe as she looks at me from underneath her lashes, lets me know that she is a very bad girl indeed. In that moment I decided, since I always bring out the best in people.....this time, I want to bring out the worst.Complete
A Knight's Purpose (Book 1) ✔️
I've lived alone for eight and a half years, running from my past. That's a hell of a thing for a shifter to do. Eve Rutledge moves to a new town every year and keeps her head down, never checking in with the local predator pack and intimidating the prey to ignore her. Eight and a half years ago, she saw her brother, sister, and niece killed by a group of warlocks who want her to be next. After escaping, she hid, telling herself she only wanted a quiet life. But her luck finally runs out when the pack in her new town takes an interest in the new comer. The wolf pack may want her allegiance, but Eve will never consent to join any pack. When a Liaison to the Wolf Council comes to town, he brings someone she never thought to see again and sets into motion a series of events the world will never forget. And as much as she wanted to escape the wolves, it seems like this mysterious shifter is bound to them for life. **** Hi guys! *waves* This will evolve into a play on the Arthurian legends - give it some time to get there (I promise it will happen). This is a huge mishmash of a whole bunch of different lore set in modern day so be prepared for a little bit of everything! ~MComplete
Rune and Ruin
To bait a falcon, a very small bird is fitted with ball weights attached to a string held by the falconer. When the raptor attacks, the rolling dive will tangle around the legs of both birds, thus ensuring the falcon cannot fly away. Further training involves both the string and treats, often meat from the same small birds, encouraging the predator to return to its handler. Centuries of war between the gods have caused an imbalance in the mortal world. Stark lines of division have resulted in three species, all vying for survival against an increasingly harsh world; The Tasuri, demon-shifters with noble houses stretching back before the founding of cities, shapeshifters in their clans and dens, and the Acera, those without fang, claw, wing, or hoof. The Tasuri city of Rune has never been more powerful, or more desperate. A plague has hit, a disease of infertility that is decimating the population of the purebloods and shifters. The Tasuri and shapeshifters turn their attention to the small, remote villages and towns of the Acera. Defenseless, there is nothing to stop the two powerful groups from enslaving the Acera and destroying the balance of their world beyond recognition. The ruin of the Acera is underway when the Tasuri House of Fyriin births a Warlord. The young warrior, Falx, takes his army of demons into the hills. There, he is gifted a young Acera slave as tribute. Thania has every reason to hate him, but she bears more weight on her slight shoulders than Falx could possibly know. What happens to the world when you take the bird away from her falcon? Warning: This is a historical fantasy, paranormal romance. It will have explicit scenes, including scenes of nonconsent. This world is brutal and harsh. Please take care before reading!

Marcus Levington is the foster kid that stole from his family.

"So Marcus, can I see the new home you bought after we leave?" He nodded his head slowly. "Sure.... I don't see why not" I nodded my head as I engaged in conversation with Dinah and Michael, Amaya's parents. My fingers slid through his open zipper rubbing his dick through the fabric of his briefs. I felt him twitch again and my fingers slowly pulled his dick from its confines stroking it slowly. He was super quiet now just staring at his food and chewing slowly. "How does it feel to be the leader?" Michael grinned and I smiled back as my hand picked up speed, his pre cum lubricating himself. "It feels great. A little stressful on weekends but my father prepared me well." I looked over to my father who smiled proudly. I looked back over at Marcus who's breathing picked up yet he never made a sound. The only reason I could tell was by the movement of his chest. He picked his fork backup stuffing more food into his mouth when I started to feel his dick pulse in my hand. I didn't stop though, I kept going to see how well he could have stayed quiet. I had continued talking to Michael and Dinah and my head snapped towards him when he moaned softly. **********************Complete
