In the timeless expanse of the heavens, Athena, the wise and powerful immortal, found herself at a crossroads. For millennia, she had dedicated herself to aiding her people and fulfilling the commands of heaven, her heart hardened against the prospect of love after swearing it off in ages past. But now, amidst the chaos of mortal affairs and the pursuit of an ancient evil, she felt a longing stir within her-a longing for true love that she had buried deep within her immortal soul.
As Athena continued her tireless pursuit of Caligula, the malevolent Roman vampire she had hunted for decades, she encountered a mortal who ignited a spark of hope within her heart. He was unlike any she had ever known, his kindness and bravery shining like a beacon in the darkness of her world. With each passing moment in his presence, Athena felt the walls around her heart begin to crumble, her resolve weakening in the face of an undeniable connection.
But as their bond deepened, Athena found herself torn between her divine responsibilities and her own desires. On one hand, she was bound by duty to her people and the mandates of heaven, sworn to protect them from the forces of darkness that threatened to consume the world.

"There is so much at stake that I'm afraid to lose, I'm not sure I can handle it if I fail," I say, the emotions inside of me twisting and turning, readying themselves to be used but warm hands encased mine, forcing me to hold them back. "There is a reason we all follow you. Not because you're the greatest leader, but because you know you're not. You make mistakes, you learn and you love. There is a war inside you that is beautifully controlled, but now, it's time to set it free. You are not just anybody, you are a fighter, a friend, a leader. . . tell me who you are." Suddenly, newfound confidence washed over me, my shoulders straightened, a smile spread across my lips and I answered, "I am Athena." ---------- Freed from an institute that used people like her for their own selfish gain, Athena took it upon herself to reinvent the place that once brought her so much pain and suffering. She is now the leader of this new Aeterian facility, taking in powered people like her, growing in numbers and trying to live the way they've wanted to for so many years, but as usual, nothing great lasts forever. When a new enemy threatens to destroy all supernaturals including the aeteri, Athena sets out to form werewolf alliances and find a way to stop whatever plans her enemies have in store, but it won't be easy. With secrets being brought into the light, her people who count on her, an ability that is unpredictable and the arrival of a man she thought she long since lost feelings for, Athena no longer controls what she once thought she did- herself. To gain back control, she needs to trust the wolves and make the right decision for her people. There is a war inside her that she has kept at bay for so long, in order to win she knows that war must be set free and god help those that stand in her line of fire. ********** An Aeterian Story- Second Book Book Order: 1.

Enslaved to Icarus (The Pariah Book 1) by shaziyakhanwrites
6 parts Ongoing
"The curse entailed that only the blood that sought yours, can free you of the curse, until then you shall be asleep." Icarus smirked at her words, he knew where this was going as she continued, "Because your blood is-" "Poisonous and repulsive." She nodded. "So, it's unbelievable that she was the one whose blood sought yours, a human, but it did, or perhaps it was your blood that sought hers...," she mulled over it. "But it's wrong, against the natural-" she observed his gaze. Talking about some natural order of the universe was not something that would befit his ears, given that he was the very example of the abomination formed against the natural laws and order of the blood. ~~ No one knew who he was, or where he came from? But he did, and he conquered all the existing realms, hidden and not so hidden from the human world, and built his kingdom upon the ruins of his enemies. Yet, he remained a pariah. Always was. Always will be. He was Icarus. The Monster. The Legend. The Evil. The Pariah. ~~ Everyone knew her to be a scared little kitten. She looked like one too with her snowy white hair, cerulean blue eyes, and a questionable fate. ~~ What was supposed to be a ridiculous adventure, suggested by her equally ridiculous brave friend turned her life into a whirlwind of crazy and bloody, when she stumbled and accidentally awakened the sleeping, ravenous, and absolutely psychotic monster, Icarus. What made her the lucky woman to jostle him out of his centuries of sleep? As a thanks, she was rewarded with the title of being his most beloved SLAVE. Dive into their journey as we unravel their ribbons of fate, and immerse ourselves into their complicated relationship. ~~ This book is a dark fantasy romance novel and Icarus is an original fantasy character that I created. He is not a vampire or a werewolf but something entirely new and interesting.
