Dangerous. Evil. Alluring. 

These are some of the ways to describe a shadow and to some extent, it was true... or at least, that's how Issac Finkelstein viewed his shadows.

For Issac was merely a man trying to move on from the tragedies he endured, but the shadows clung onto him - begging, pleading for him to break free from what he knew and embrace the darkness in him. While it was tempting to say yes, Issac refuses to give in and tries to ignore the alluring, almost magnetic pull that the shadows have on him. But Issac can't refuse forever.

For a prophecy hangs over him and it speaks of the shadows and the darkness he is destined to bring into his world and that of another. It speaks of a monster that he is destined to become, a war that is to determine Avalon's fate and a fight that will either claim his life or that of his daughter for the two are one and the same; their fates intertwined as she was the light to his shadow. 

But tragically, a daughter's love cannot prevent what is to come for even the shadows are capable of eclipsing the light and in the presence of darkness...

No one is safe.

𝗜'𝗺 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲; 𝗮𝗺 𝗜? ❞ I stare out across the horizon, watching the nearly third quarter moon as its gentle light sweeps across the night sky; elegant swirls of cobalt clouds drifting amongst an endless sea of stars.

41 parts Ongoing Mature
DANTE When I first laid my eyes on her; she was only eleven, three years younger than me. She was quiet. And pure. But she was troubled, and alone. I could see it behind her eyes; the thin veil that concealed her deepest secrets, faltering every time she looked at me. I knew from that moment on that I would live for her. And she would eventually live for me, too. With or without her blessing. However, circumstances change. And that purity I once relished in; her light in contrast to my darkness, disappeared. But, don't worry my little sinner, I will haunt you. And I won't be as kind this time. EDEN I won't let you scare me. That's what I keep telling myself. And yet, I see you. In every dark corner, in every casting shadow -- I see you when I close my eyes. And I hate myself for it. But I'm older now. Wiser. You took my innocence from me, and while I hate myself for allowing you to, I hate you just that much more. But I won't let you in this time. I don't want your inferno to engulf me anymore, I want to extinguish it. **PLEASE BE WARNED** This book will contain graphic contents, including but not limited to: violence, sexual contents and sensitive subjects.

"I could feel it. The full strength of my brother's power. I didn't know how far away he was, but he definitely wasn't nearby. And yet still, he was able to reach me. Able to trinkle into my humans thoughts and fully capture the falcon's mind with absolute power. I knew my brother was scared. That fear was what made him reach out. He didn't know what Giovanna and Leona had in for him. Or worse: he did. Even though I knew by brother was afraid I also knew was a force to be reckoned with. And although Giovanna had him, he wasn't going down without a fight. He didn't have to tell me he would help us find him. I already knew. Any information he sent to me was important. My brother and I shared a connection like no other. We always had. We always would. " Part of Celeste is relieved that the people with the big guns have showed up to help, but another part of her is beginning to tear at the seams from the pressure she's endured.

She knows getting him back might mean she will die trying, but maybe with the help of the powerful Unknowns that can control the elements, she can do it. However, Giovanna has a few tricks up her sleeve and the Unknowns soon will find out just how powerful she really is. Everything is going just as she wants it to. Nothing will stand in her way and nothing will escape her control... ATTENTION: THIS IS BOOK 5 Some *mild* marijuana use in this story and some sexual scenes/themes (nothing explicit).

"Are you stalking me?" His deep voice asked. "You wish, that would mean I actually thought about you enough to wonder where you are." I looked away smugly. Max moved closer to me until his face was right in front of mine. "You're saying you don't think about me?" He smirked, fully knowing what the proximity was doing to me. "I don't, why?

After defeating Lilith and escaping Edom, the TMI gang finally returns to their common lifes in New York, ready to figure out different issues from demons, such as love. Magnus and Alec, for instance, were the perfect example of that brand new feeling that joined them. What they wasn't expecting was the sudden arrival to the Institute of a stranger that soon, would end that normality and tranquility, helplessly involving them into another adventure. Eruleum threatened them and they were about to experiment the coldness and somberness coming directly from that forgotten kingdom. Like the sun and the moon, Edom and Eruleum were nothing alike, yet sharing a close bond. Each member of the gang will be forced to face their deepest and most horrid fears in a kingdom where there was no place for hope or joy, just freezing cold mechanisms, metal, a permanent double moon, a king thirsty with revenge. TMI gang went to Edom and came back, but would they be able to dodge Eruleum's fierceness too? Would they save the World from an unavoidable storm? They fought fire, it was high time to face ice. Are you ready to start this journey? Are you ready to discover new worlds? Eruleum's King promises action, passionate and unconditional love, new relationships, new bonds, new and unique characters. The thin line that separates hell from heaven, evil from goodness is harder to distinguish than ever. Not everything is as it seems, love is not always precious. Madness has the capacity to poison it.

Book 1 - Moon series Part 1 of a Duet. This is book 1 of the Alpha series, but this book was so long that I split it into 2 parts. Part 2 is titled Beta Enzo - and is only available on REAM - link in my Bio❤️ This book is COMPLETE, but ends on a major cliffhanger. You've been warned😘 __________ 𝐓𝐈𝐓𝐔𝐒 𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐊 - I was the youngest Alpha to take over a pack in centuries, at the tender age of 16 due to the death of my father. A death caused by my own doing. In my opinion, the prick deserved it from the things that my mother and I had to endure before I was forced to watch him kill her in front of me - completely shattering all that was good in the world. I was only eleven years old. According to my Beta, Enzo - that was the last day that I smiled and the day that my wolf came to me, making me one of the youngest shifters in history. It took five years for me to bulk up and gain the strength that I needed to kill my father with Enzo's help. After that - Every wrong thing in the world seemed to fade away, even though my smile hadn't returned. Until I found him - my mate - who took me by surprise as I'm not gay, but that fact didn't stop me from wanting him. Romello was a wolf living among humans, raised by a man who had a strong connection to his past that shockingly enough - was darker than my own. And being mated to a man that had a past darker than my own wasn't the craziest part of my now spiraling life. I'd been blessed by the Moon Goddess herself with something that'd been thought to be nothing but a mere myth within the werewolf community. I didn't just have one fated mate... But two.

Many forget that the goddess of love was born from the raging sea, but she would do anything to protect her daughter. Adora was Aphrodite's last daughter. Her mother kept her hidden. But, her mother isn't the only one who can keep a secret, especially in a world where your role in society is everything. For there was a prophecy long before she was born: 'Aphrodite's last child would be the one to take the throne, Her paternity unknown. They would carve her face and never forget, for she would be the most beautiful that they had met Cursed for the same fate as her mother Forced to leave her love for another The only way she shall break this curse is if she defeats the first' "Looks like the princess doesn't need saving after all." He says, quietly enough that no one else would hear, as he draws his hand away from my arm. I glare back at him. "Maybe she never did," I walk away, not sparing a single glance back, no matter how much my body was begging me to. I fuss over my hair, pouting as I run my fingers through it to put it back into place. *A warning note* I am not an expert on Greek Mythology, but it interests me greatly. Please excuse any inaccuracies in the book, but if there are any please do message or comment it and I will see if I can change it without making such a huge difference to the plot. Also, my main character is autistic and the experience will be different for everyone. I have tried my hardest to put down on paper how I feel and how I believe others see me. So, please be respectful about the decisions my characters make as I have chosen to give them many different types of neurodivergent brains. I have tried my best to represent these in the most accurate light whilst not romanticising them.
Alpha Jax by CJPrimer
7 parts Complete Mature
SIX-PACK SERIES BOOK THREE * While this book can be read as a standalone, I highly recommend reading book one (Alpha Gray) and book two (Alpha Theo) for context before diving into this book. JAX : I'm no stranger to one night stands. Lots of girls want to hook up with an alpha, so why should this one be any different? Maybe it's because she was the best I ever had. Maybe it's because she refused to tell me her name or anything about herself. We agreed to one night, no strings attached. The problem is, I can't get that night out of my head, and I've been obsessed with finding this girl ever since. When she shows up at the squad complex for recruit training, I feel like it's my lucky day- until my best friend introduces her as his sister and things get... complicated. I can't go against bro code, right? Even if Quinn is my dream girl. Even if there's a crazy attraction between us that I'm finding harder to resist every day. I'm so screwed. QUINN : One night. It was supposed to be one night of anonymous, meaningless sex with a handsome stranger. I just wanted to have a good time and try to forget about my cheating ex. It definitely did the trick- I haven't thought about my ex since, but now I can't stop thinking about that night. I can't stop thinking about the stranger with all the right moves that set my body on fire. When I arrive at the complex for a fresh start, I'm shocked to see him again- and even more surprised to find out that he's not only an alpha, but he's also one of my brother's best friends. Theo would kill Jax if he found out about that night. He can never know- which means I have to keep my distance from Jax. Even if I can't stop fantasizing about him. Even if it kills me. ~ This book contains mature content (steamy scenes!) and themes that may not be suitable for younger readers. If frequent use of profanity and f-words offend, then this book is not likely for you.
