Delta Pinak was chosen. But she was not destined. Not fated.
She was dangerous.
Aethermere Academy was supposed to shape her. Refine her. Carve her into a person that obeys.
But Delta was born sharp - and she only gets sharper when you try to dull her.
Behind her silence is a storm. Behind her loyalty, a venom. Behind her steady hands, the weight of power no one meant for her to hold. Not like this.
But they made their mistake.
They lied. They used her. They tried to break her - and Delta does not break. She shatters.
Now the halls of Aethermere are steeped in secrets. Magic unspools at the seams. Friends turn to strangers. Strangers turn to monsters.
And Delta? She doesn't run from the wreckage.
She becomes it.
In the heart of the storm, Delta must decide what she's willing to lose - and what she will fight to protect, even if it means breaking everything she thought she was.
A tale of power, pain, and the fierce beauty of a soul refusing to be tamed.

Witchbound 1
In a small, seemingly ordinary town, Selene has always felt like she's just another face in the crowd. Her life revolves around the typical high school experiences-hanging out with friends, navigating the ups and downs of teenage life, and managing the constant buzz of schoolwork and daily routines. To the outside world, it's a life like any other, filled with the usual moments of frustration and joy. Yet, beneath the surface of this mundane existence lies a hidden world, one that Selene never could have imagined. Magic, mystical creatures, and ancient forces have quietly coexisted with her reality, just out of sight. It's a world governed by secrets, where the extraordinary is concealed by the normal. When Selene's life unexpectedly takes a turn, she is drawn to Eldermyst Academy, an ancient, secluded institution that holds the key to her true potential. The academy is a place far removed from her small-town life, a place where the supernatural is a part of everyday existence. Here, Selene begins to uncover her own latent powers, powers that have been dormant for years. The stark contrast between her once predictable world and the strange, mystical realm she enters becomes the foundation for her transformation. As she explores secret locations, encounters creatures beyond imagination, and navigates the complexities of magical realms, Selene begins to realize that her journey isn't just about surviving the chaos of two worlds colliding-it's about mastering the forces within herself, understanding the legacy that runs through her veins, and coming to terms with the power she holds. Each challenge she faces, each discovery she makes, takes her further away from the life she knew, and closer to a destiny that was always waiting for her.Complete

She's become a force to be reckoned with-powerful, feared, and marked by destiny itself. But power has made her a target, and the academy's hallowed halls now feel more like a battleground than a sanctuary. Games of Destiny has begun, and ancient forces long thought extinct are awakening with a hunger that threatens to consume everything Mira has fought to protect.
