Mathew never got to know his parents well enough. How could he, when they died before he did?
Their time was up.
And when you live under a society that depends on each and every life clock, almost nothing is unpredictable.
So their deaths were expected.
What wasn't expected, to this highly organized society, however was Mathew's lack of a life clock of his own.
And isn't that interesting?

The Dark Warlock: The Nox Haven Series
Destiny. It was a funny thing. I had always thought that I could create my own destiny. But after attending my junior year at Nox Haven, I knew that wasn't possible. My destiny was written two hundred years before my birth, when my ancestor- The Dark Warlock- created a cult of Dark Ones. It was my destiny to rid the world of his mistake- but I didn't know how. That was the funny part, I knew what I had to do but I didn't know how. Nobody wrote that part of the prophecy. I would figure it out though, two of my beloved friends were dead because the Dark Ones. I swore on their graves that no one else would follow. **Book Three in the Nox Haven Series**Complete

"You really are bad with timings." ---------------------------- "You're mine." He growled causing my heart to skip a million beats as i blinked in shock with parted lips. "Every bit of you belongs to me. I own you." He snarled with anger. I didn't know if i was supposed to be elated or fear that statement.

The Dark Witch: The Nox Haven Series
I'd Like to think I was a good person, before it all began. I didn't cheat on tests, or steal. But throughout my entire life, I was treated if I were a monster. At the age of five, after several agonizing tests, I was diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder. But not even that title could describe just how strange I was. When another kid got hurt, I would cry. Whenever someone else was told a funny joke, I would laugh hysterically. People looked at me as if I were crazy- and for while I agreed with them. That was until I, Caddie Jones, was exiled to Nox Haven Academy, a school for truly special kids. Not the mentally ill, psychotic kind of special but the magical kind. Like witches, vampires, fairies and werewolves. Call me crazy if you want, you wouldn't be the first. But the stories are all true. The supernatural did exist and I was one of them. Life there was cool until suddenly, I was faced with two-faced witches, egotistical princes, hormone driven werewolves, and an army of evil warlocks who were threatening to destroy the world. ... Maybe Nox Haven was a school for psychos after all. ---------------------------------------------------------- Highest Rank: #2 in Paranormal 1st Place winner of The Night Shift's Killer Competition 4/10/16 Illustration by: Stephanie Pitino (www.ClairObscur.fr) (1st book in series)Complete

After the death of her beloved grandmother, Megha, Kashvi inherits an antique pocket watch-an heirloom passed down through generations. On the night of Megha's funeral, she has a vivid, almost supernatural dream, where Megha pleads with her to find the man who killed her. But her final words hold a chilling warning: "The Arcanum Order will come for the watch." Determined to uncover the truth, Kashvi begins investigating, but strange things start happening-eerie coincidences, shadows that shouldn't be there, and the feeling that she's always being watched. Then, she accidentally activates the watch-and discovers its impossible secret. The watch isn't just a family heirloom. It is an artifact of immense power, tied to an ancient secret that has been haunting her family for generations. The Arcanum Order, a hidden organization that safeguards dangerous relics, claims the watch was never meant to be hers. Megha was supposed to surrender it to them, but she didn't. And now, they want it back. But there's more. Kashvi learns that the watch doesn't just track time-it can bend it. It holds the power of time travel, but every time she uses it, she loses part of her own life in return. As Kashvi and her best friend Anshuman search for answers, they uncover whispers of betrayal, forgotten history, and a murder that was never meant to be solved. The deeper they dig, the more they realize Megha's death is just the beginning of something far darker than they ever imagined. The Order is watching. The murderer is still out there.
