Season 2 of The Arcane Artifacts 

Growing up in the foster care system, Lily's life has never been easy. In fact, it's been downright horrific at times. But she's finally in a good place, ready to pursue her master's degree in the fall. 

Until she's abducted at a graduation party by Laurent, a vampire both otherworldly beautiful and inhumanly cold, endangering her life and everything she's worked for. She's never been important to anyone, so why does he want her so badly? And why does his touch set her body on fire?

Lord of a great house, Laurent's family is struggling; his vampires are disappearing and he's running out of leads and options. Then, he happens upon Lily, an amplifier, whose blood promises untold strength. 

To protect House Sarkas, no one else can be allowed to have the power that Lily's blood contains. She must be kept safe until Laurent decides whether to use her as he has many amplifiers in the past. But Lily makes him feel more alive than he has in centuries, and he finds himself wanting more from her than just her blood.

When Laurent's past catches up with him, his bond with Lily will be tested, and she might end up being the one protecting him.

❝ Let's find you a new home, shall we? ❞ •○• A cold Shifter General. A bloodthirsty Vampire Prince. A powerful Fae King. A mysterious protective werewolf Alpha. And a human girl. The question was - why were the strings of fate bringing them together? •○• 18 year old, sharp and vigilant Cara Arnel was one step away from slavery freedom and being sold. And being caught by the Shifter General of the Vampire Army was most certainly not a part of that plan. Nor was becoming a scullery maid or an assaulted slave in the Royal Palace instead of a blood bag or sex slave. But that was when things started to change. Tensions became high and fights broke out in the unstable supernatural world with the return of Lucifer's son: Killian after more than four centuries. Her visions started again. And a bit too many supernatural males were willing to protect her for no reason whatsoever. Turns out, Cara might not be as insignificant as she thought. Yet, she was undoubtedly human. And it seemed, she wasn't as well informed of her past as she thought. If her memories were the ones to be relied upon. At least.......the ones she had of this life. •○• Shortlisted for Wattpad India Awards 2021 (Please don't copy the story line. It's all mine. A figment of my imagination.

UPDATED WEEKLY He finally released my legs, allowing me to slide down his body until my feet hit the floor, but that was as far as he let me go. Heat was radiating off him scorching me all the way down my spine as he held me tightly against him. His quick breaths were falling on the back of my neck with a tingling warmth that brought goosebumps to the surface of my skin. Placing one large hand on my shoulder, he wrapped my long brown hair around his other. Gently, he tugged on my dark mane, pulling my head to the side and exposing the tender column of my neck. Bringing his nose down to the crook there, he inhaled deeply, a rumbling "mmmm" escaping his lips. My mouth went dry. "Are-" I swallowed. "Are you going to mark me?" I manage in a stuttered whisper. Book Blurb: Dr. Willa Grey has developed a little bit of a performance problem... Willa has a plan for how she wants to spend her life. She even fought for a rare opportunity to attend human medical school.
