At least, that's what sixteen year old Adeline Grey has been led to believe... Twenty-five years prior to Adeline's birth, a virus swept across the country, killing many and transforming others into wolfish beasts. Only a scarce number of towns were left untouched, but their nightmare had only just begun. While these communities survived the virus, they were suddenly left to defend themselves against night attacks by wolves, and raids by rogue citizens, trying to get by away from civilization. Adeline is lucky to live in a town that is well protected and large enough to thrive on it's own. Her Father is Mayor, and her mother does her best to shield her from the horrors outside the gate, but one night the unthinkable happens...Adeline's Mother is taken from the town and thought to be dead soon after. Adeline's Father eventually remarries, but it's to a horrible woman who bares him a son that she hardly wants anything to do with. Adeline is left caring for her young half brother, but tragedy strikes once more when he disappears beyond the gate while Adeline was supposed to be looking after him.

The Raging Frinx
Violet Sinkette has spent her whole life preparing to follow in her father's footsteps-a warrior destined to defend the kingdom of Anoryl against its sworn enemy, Daryn. As the daughter of the legendary Commander Jerome Sinkette, she's trained to fight, to hate, to win. But just as she's ready to claim her place in Anoryl's elite royal force, her world is set ablaze. Her mother is murdered. She is kidnapped. And the greatest betrayal of all? She's not Anoryl's hero-she's Daryn's stolen daughter. Everything she's ever believed is a lie. Her parents were spies. Anoryl's war isn't about defense but destruction. And at the heart of it all lies the Frinx-an ancient power that Anoryl will do anything to steal. Now, Violet stands at a deadly crossroads: fight for the kingdom that raised her or embrace the truth of the land she was born to protect. But with the weight of betrayal crushing her and the Frinx threatening to consume her, one question remains... Will she choose vengeance, or will she rewrite her fate?
The Consort
It took the Beasts mere weeks to overthrow the human government and eliminate most of the population. Those who survived were put into slavery, forced to spend their lives serving the royal families and wealthier Beasts. Adeline has been a servant for the royals for as long as she can remember. It's hard work, but she feels lucky to be born and raised in King Richard's kingdom. He's a kind ruler, and his humans are often treated well. King Heloix, on the other hand, is known for his ruthlessness. He has little tolerance for his fellow Beasts, and even less for humans. Rumors are that his servants are often killed as punishment for even the smallest mishaps, and to survive even a year while working for him is an accomplishment. When Adeline is transferred to King Heloix's castle, it takes him only seconds to recognize who she is to him. Will he accept her as his mate or reject her existence? ⚠️THIS BOOK CONTAINS MATURE AND TRIGGERING THEMES⚠️Complete

The Wolven King {18+} (Sample)
[COMPLETED] As I was beginning to relax, a new terror coursed through my body at his next word, "Strip." "Ex-excuse me?" I blurted out. I wasn't getting undressed in front of him, I barely knew him. He must have been trying to gain something from me and I doubted my fear and embarrassment was what he wanted. Adrenous didn't say anything as he drew his hands up my back and halted at the laces of my dress. I felt him tug at one of the nots and I instantly pulled away and turned to face him, no longer caring that his manhood was out for all to see. Just like that part of him, he too was a dick. "I'm not getting undressed in front of you!" I yelled at him. "Your mine, Alivia," My name passed his lips easily and hearing him say it did things to me which I didn't want to admit. Instead I glared at him, he said I was his as if I was some kind of possession that he could do with as he pleased. He added, "Let me take care of you." I didn't know what he meant by that, all I knew was that I had no intention of doing as he had asked. ✨🌕✨ BOOK ONE OF THE KING SERIES ⚠️ WARNING: this book is mature and should only be read if you are 18+.
