My Fucked Up Fairytale
TEASER: "No fiancée of mine needs to learn how to fight." His breath flows upon the prickling skin of my neck. I close my eyes, involuntarily shuddering in response.

Red's Wolves
Alera lost her mother early in life and was raised by a strict king for a father and the many nursemaids who crossed themselves before touching her. It wasn't until she was of marrying age that she learned why the people feared her. She was canny... like her forest mother. Canny and feared to be fae. The only person besides her father who didn't seem to fear her was the handsome stable boy. He knew what she was and didn't cross himself before letting his hands touch hers longer than needed for helping her to her mount. And on her 18th birthday, neither could deny the bond that dragged them together. But her father had her sold off to make an advantageous match with the neighboring king's sullen and cruel son. Even a kingdom over, the whispers of the canny princess the people feared as fae reached royal ears. But they thought to use her to their advantage...to put fear in their own people's hearts and make them bend the knee. Now with the kingdom at war with the prince she would have married, Alera must save the people who feared her from an unspeakable fate brought to their door by the sullen prince wielding a dark unknown power. -------------------- Cover by Tina Glasneck ©2022 M.Dalto Published to Wattpad 06.01.2022 Completed 03/30/2023Complete
Midnight Wings
"There's no greater cause to me, no battle more worth fighting, than the one I fight to remain by your side." "Since when were you a poet?" "Oh shut it would you? I'm trying to be romantic here." ----~---- Sorra has cheated death more than a few too many times. In truth, his cling to life and purpose is all but gone. Betrayed, left alone, forgotten about, and left for dead. It's the same story over and over - told in two worlds, three bodies, and four lives. With the demons relighting an age-old war, citizens in terror, tyranny amok in the guilds and the nations that hold them, and everybody wanting their own slice of the action, chaos is becoming the new standard. Of course, Sorra is trapped in a mountain cave network, so these are the least of his worries. But when he finds someone with a story much like his, tossed aside by those she trusted the most, he finds a new purpose in life: revenge, and protecting his sworn ally until death do them part. Perhaps the key to order in the world's madness is a drunken demon with an unquenchable thirst for blood, but that's only IF he hates the world less than he wants there to be a world left for him to hate.

What begins as cold formality slowly blossoms into something deeper-until a single betrayal shatters everything. When Nicolae exposes Jasmina's most painful secret-her inability to bear children-the love they built turns to ashes. But hatred alone is not enough to satisfy fate. An ancient curse, cruel and unbreakable, twists their hearts beyond human hatred, driving them to despise each other more than any devil could. As their loathing deepens, so does their doom. With no escape from the curse and no force strong enough to stop them, they are destined to destroy one another. Bound by love. Doomed by betrayal. When love became war, only death could settle the battle."Complete
Roses for Rachel
I was sure the worst thing to ever happen to me would be being kidnapped, and sure, that was pretty bad. However, what was worse was being kidnapped, held captive for years, and then being auctioned off to the highest bidder. I thought maybe I had caught a little break when I found out that me and five other girls were being sold to royalty, but I should have known something about that wasn't right either. Under the cover of eternal darkness, and deep beneath the ground, was a whole world I never even dreamed existed in my wildest dreams. It was a world that promised to be more than anything I could imagine. The people who bought us told us we would have the luxurious life of a princess, but there were only two catches... 1. We would be competing against each other for the affection of the Prince who would change our whole lives by picking one of us to rule at his side. 2. That prince just happened to be a vampire.Complete
