A first draft of a story I'm writing so I'll be posting first draft chapters as I write them just to receive feedback from other eyes as I'm figuring this 'author' shit out.
Appreciate it πͺ
The idea of this story has been rendered in my mind so many times that I've lost sight on whether it even makes sense anymore.
But good news is, in the midsts of my chaos is indecision.
So dark fantasy meets dystopian and speculative fiction with absolutely badass and downright savage female main and side characters, a broody enemies to lovers romance with tropes to die for.
Betrayal, Corruption, Tense Enemies to Lovers, Complex world building, Tainted government systems, Revolutions, Science experiment given powers, Consequences of power, Found family, Dark Suspense, and so much more that I don't feel like finding words for, I swear I'm not this lazy when I'm actually writing.
If you liked these books:
Shatter Me - Tahereh Mafi
Divergent - Veronica Roth
Six Of Crows - Leigh Bardugo Renegades - Marissa Meyer
Dance Of Theives - Mary E Pearson
You're In the right place.
In no way am I comparing my first draft shit fest to these gems, just implying that these are what inspired me to write this.
As I said, this is a raw first draft so posted chapters will be edited and rewritten probably a hundred times over again but if you want to be here for the roots of a possibly mind cratering, soul shattering and heart wrenching ride, by all means, help yourself.

Eighteen years old amateur spy Winter Seven should have run when she had the chance.

Leading Her from the Darkness
Austyn Bennett has experienced more trauma than any 25 year old should. She is fighting and losing against her PTSD and reckless behavior. She has no regard for her own life-only craving a temporary escape from the nothingness that resides in her soul, even if just for a fleeting moment. She decides to leave the place she calls home to start fresh in New York at a new college, all while trying to disappear into the crowd. She wasn't expecting him though. Dawson King. The mysterious man with a few dark secrets of his own, came out of nowhere and taught her how to fight for her strength back while simultaneously tearing down her fortress brick by brick. π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€ βοΈ Previously Featured βοΈ β @WattpadOutreach β #StayAtHome β β Highest Rankings β #1 - ly (love yourself) #3 - storiesundiscovered #5 - na (new adult) #9 - wattpaddafterdark #19 - sensual #19 - dangerous love #19 - badassreads #26 - fallinginloveagain π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€ β οΈDISCLAIMERβ οΈ This story contains mature content, including but not limited to: sexual themes, effects of mental illness, explicit language, drug/alcohol use and details of abuse/violence. π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€ Also I'm very OCD, but also a speed reader, (It's a blessing and a curse) so I'm constantly re-reviewing/editing old chapters, because I hate spelling/grammatical errors with the passion of a thousand suns.

Draft β’ unedited. β’ β’ β’ "And I do love it when a man is at the pointy end of my dagger." I push the blade in more, a sliver of skin parting as red flows between the crevices and blesses the weapon. He only grins wider, "Show no mercy, Angel." He rears up, lips capturing mine and pulling my face closer to his, his hand winding itself around my neck to hold me in place as he draws my whole being into his with only his poisoned tongue and daring words. . . "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." "The enemy of my enemy, is my enemy tomorrow." I counter. β’ β’ β’ They took everything from me. Hunt me. Underestimate me. I have nothing to lose . . .

If this is not for you, feel free to not read. There is some sex scenes throughout this book so please read at your own risk. The main character/s are also very morally grey so if you don't like characters torturing others, this isn't the book for you. β’ β’ β’ Cover by Quirky Circe on Etsy Started writing 09/19 - published 02/20 - finished 03/20.

Heirs And Hunters
"Every step you take away from me only drives you closer to the brink of my madness. You belong to me, Winter. Any alternative reality or illusion you hope for- I will destroy them until your very existence is entwined with mine." -ππ―ππ§ ππ«πππ§π Eighteen-year-old Winter has always been a quiet shadow, a shy spy avoiding the perils of the spotlight. But when she's tasked with stalking five powerful Heirs, her carefully crafted invisibility shatters. Her mission is clear: erase their scandals, track their every move, and never draw attention. Yet, when she crosses paths with Ivan Arcane-the ruthless heir to one of the world's most powerful empires-everything changes. At first, Ivan saw her as dull and dependent, an insignificant watcher in the crowd. A beautiful doll to be kept locked and safe somewhere- an innocence belonging nowhere near him or his world. But when she makes one fatal mistake, he uncovers the sharp, wild mind she's concealed beneath fragile masks of pink and purples. Now, Ivan is obsessed, determined to dismantle her defenses and claim her as his own. And In a world where power rules, Winter is no longer the Hunter in the game -she's Ivan's fixation, a prey to a predator and he'll stop at nothing to change the very narrative of the fairy tale so the villain gets the girl in the end.

Until four hot, morally grey men, who only exist in fiction find themselves on a mission from the dark lord. To find and capture the last remaining witch/wizard that exists in our world. They infiltrate her school, her life, and whisk her away to Hogwarts where she has to walk a balanced line between her new dorm roomies and their families. While this is all happening she tries to find a way back home because this is not one of her fluffy fairy tales with a knight in shining armor. This is a dark, twisted tale with four dangerous boys that are all after her and will stop at nothing to keep her. "You are spectacularly ours." Too bad it wasn't us, but we can read about it. Found family; morally grey love interests; why choose; Draco Malfoy; Theodore (Theo) Nott; Mattheo Riddle; Tom Riddle Warnings: alcohol, kidnapping, spicyish scenes (nothing more than kissing...probably); some of the spells might not be correct so pls no hate If you click on my Spotify account there's a playlist made especially for this story so I would recommend listening to it while reading <3 Enjoy! All these characters are completely fiction and all rights to them go to JK Rowling except for Clara. xoxo, luv ya!
