Twice Born
Grief can open doors the living were never meant to find. After losing her brother, Elowen Anderson thought the worst was behind her. But grief doesn't rest, it lingers, it listens. There's a threat. It's patient, and it has it's set on a target...Her Visions bleed into reality. Memories that aren't hers claw their way into her mind. A forgotten man-Dionys Kaltheris, a soul twisted by betrayal and agony-reaches for her through the cracks of time. Yet the more she learns of his pain, the harder it becomes to tell who the true monster is, the hollow spirit that haunts her, or the world that made him. As the veil between the living and the dead begins to tear, Elowen discovers that the restless are not alone. Spirits roam the earth-some lost, others consumed by vengeance-and from beneath them rise the Demons of the Underworld, the architects of suffering who keep souls chained to despair. Drawn into a war she never chose, Elowen must decide whether to fight for the living, to save herself and her loved ones-or to understand the dead. Her path will cross fear, grief, a soulless spirit that has his eyes on her, her brother reaching out from the afterlife itself, memories that aren't hers, spirit exorcists, fractured loyalties, and truths too heavy to bear. And when the time comes, she'll learn that some salvation demands sacrifice.
Banshee
Three generations of an Irish clan attempt to escape the curse of the Banshee. For nearly two centuries, the Galway estate has been a coveted jewel of the Emerald Isle. But within its opulent yet strange grounds, whispers of shattered love and unspeakable sin are guarded by a specter both living yet unborn... a creature of this world -- and that which lays beyond... an entity whose very breath can send your soul to Hell. Harken back to an Ireland of undiscovered lore: a sacred time bound by God, family, land - and the profound depths of darkest legend. Spared an unthinkable fate, Finola O'Grady found herself shipped away to a palatial, arranged marriage. Beaten down by the shame of religious persecution, John Cavanaugh fled the prisons of Britain, thinking he'd found a hidden Eden. Their destinies forever entwined, bringing forth one of the greatest horror icons of all time. Now the Cavanaughs descendants must confront their worst fears -- the truth of their inheritance written in blood, a nightmare-inducing journey spanning one hundred and seventy-five years; a terrifying, candlelit saga through shrouded moors, eerie estates, purgatorial woods, and hushed resting places where even the dead are not safe.Zakończone![Alpha Queen [1] ✓](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/47173806-256-k9508.jpg)

"Who was your first kiss?" Ares asked very seriously and my face started reddening. "I. . . haven't been kissed. Yet." I looked away as I didn't have the courage to meet his eyes and admit this. "Why not?" Why was he asking me this? "You obviously know why. I'm average, I'm just a normal girl." I was interrupted by an impatient scoff. "That's not why." "Fine, you tell me why." I retorted but instantly regretted it. He was going to tell me that I wasn't pretty enough or that I wasn't interesting enough or- "You were waiting." *** "My jaw is on the floor!!!

The Claimed
They said the Hunt was sacred. That if I was chosen, it meant fate. But fate didn't feel like a mouth on my skin or claws at my back. It felt like blood. Mine. For years, I stayed hidden. Quiet. Unclaimed. I stole seeds from the state fields, grew food in secret, fed my family from soil and silence. I did everything right - stayed beneath their radar, beneath their noses. I didn't make waves. I didn't ask for more. But monsters never forget a scent. And when the Hunt came, I was scented. Tracked. Taken. I stabbed him. I buried the blade in his shoulder and watched him bleed. It didn't matter. Because he still bit me. And the world saw. Now my face is on every screen. The girl who didn't run. The girl who fought back. Some call me a rebel. Some call me a mate. But they all forget one thing. I wasn't made to be claimed. I was made to survive. And if they want to collar me, cage me, crown me - they'll have to reckon with everything I've kept buried beneath the roots. Because I am not the flower. I'm the fire beneath it.
