When Emma discovers she can see dead people, she's introduced to a world of shifters, haunted academies, and dark prophecies. Once her life is threatened, she's forced to team up with one of Elmore's elites, Rylan Ryder. But the intense dragon might just be the person she's supposed to be weary of.

________


Emma Richards has a few simple rules to live by for her last year at a new fantastical boarding school. One, do not attract attention. Two, never, ever show interest in the horrifying secrets spilled in the school's gossip columns--'cause yours might be next. Three, stay out of trouble.

And four, try to ignore the brooding, six-feet dragon staring daggers at you from across the school's countless corridors.

Just one hitch. In Elmore academy, the rules are made to be broken.

When a long buried prophecy comes to light and threatens all she and the dragon hold dear, the two unlikely allies would have to stick together, championing through a web of dark secrets, ruthless power struggles and their own forbidden attraction to each other...

The Claimed by Mentally-Insane

They said the Hunt was sacred. That if I was chosen, it meant fate. But fate didn't feel like a mouth on my skin or claws at my back. It felt like blood. Mine. For years, I stayed hidden. Quiet. Unclaimed. I stole seeds from the state fields, grew food in secret, fed my family from soil and silence. I did everything right - stayed beneath their radar, beneath their noses. I didn't make waves. I didn't ask for more. But monsters never forget a scent. And when the Hunt came, I was scented. Tracked. Taken. I stabbed him. I buried the blade in his shoulder and watched him bleed. It didn't matter. Because he still bit me. And the world saw. Now my face is on every screen. The girl who didn't run. The girl who fought back. Some call me a rebel. Some call me a mate. But they all forget one thing. I wasn't made to be claimed. I was made to survive. And if they want to collar me, cage me, crown me - they'll have to reckon with everything I've kept buried beneath the roots. Because I am not the flower. I'm the fire beneath it.

"I won't mind ripping out any guy's heart who so much as look at you in a more than friendly way. You are mine." He turned his head towards her and Marley could see his brown eyes turning gold. "Mine only." ********* The life of Marley Seyfried is as normal as it can be but all of this changes when she moves to a new town. With only one aim in her mind, which is to keep her head down, avoid problems and unwanted attention, she takes her first steps inside the new school. However, the fate has some very different plans. She unknowingly manages to catch the attention of a one of the bad boys. All hell break loose, when that guy turns out to be a werewolf, who also claims she is his 'mate'. When a shy and introverted human gets mated to a loud, boisterous and possessive werewolf, problems and unwanted attention are bound to arise. Disclaimer: Contains mild creepiness and a possessive male protagonist, which I absolutely not condone in real life. Just read it for entertainment, and nothing else.
Artemis by KaylaWoods289
60 parts Complete
"Let them go, Dante." I whip my head to see a small boy standing the clearing with blonde hair and a green cloak hanging from shoulders. He isn't very tall however he holds his stance well. He doesn't seem to be more than Cassandra's age. Maybe 12 at most. I abruptly turn my head back hearing the man holding a sword to my throat chuckling with a sinister grin. "Oh, poor boy, what are you go to do about it?" The yellow teeth gleam as he begins stalking towards the boy who does not look the least bit fazed. I look around at the other men who are following the leader. I pull Cassandra tighter to my back as I take small steps back. I keep my eye trained on the men but also fear for the naive boy. "Do you really want to test me Dante?" He asks raising a single eyebrow. For a minute the men stop their movements. I see their hesitation for fear... Fear of what? I take the moment to stick Cassandra behind a nearby tree. She crouches down while I pull my sword out from its place. "How do you know my name?" The scoundrel raises his sword challenging towards the boy before taking a final step towards him. Then the unexpected happens. The young boy chuckles so darkly. It sounded almost... demonic. All the men instinctively raise their swords. "Oh Dante, I didn't know your name... but you know someone dear to me." "Spit it out boy!" The once grinning man is now looking around frantically. I continue my eyes scanning the small boy. He looks directly me and gives me a small nod before saying one word that caused all hell to breaks loose. "Artemis." Artemis is not an ordinary girl. She grew up in the wilderness after being shunned due to unique abilities and her different physical attributes. Blessed with an ability that scared others, she roams the wild with only her guarded one. That is until she stumbles into a situation that brings her in front of a prince.
Alpha Logan (#1 In The Alpha Series) by marissajade01

It basically all started with a strip tease, outside in the freezing cold of winter in New Hampshire, with all his warriors watching. Lily didn't ask for an Alpha mate. She knows what a package deal they are. Possessive, lustful, and territorial. But she couldn't love him more for it. Logan didn't expect to find his mate. Or to find a mate who was so strong and powerful. Who didn't even know she was to be a Luna until one blustery cold night. He watched her use her Luna tone on a boy she hates, he watched with pride. Or until she started taking her clothes off... ⚠️ MATURE CONTENT WARNING! ⚠️ ✏️ In process of editing! I wrote this awhile ago and my writing style has changed since, I'm taking out the less cringe worthy parts.✏️ Cover made by the talented @glacieted
