Freya Nightshade has always felt a strange pull toward the forbidden forest that looms just beyond her village, but she's spent her life obeying her grandmother's warnings to stay far away. That all changes one fateful night under the Harvest Moon when she encounters a mysterious man who seems to belong to the very shadows she's been taught to fear.

Ozias Kekoa, the Alpha of The Whisper Pack, has spent his life protecting his territory and hiding his kind from the human world. He knows the forest holds ancient magic-and ancient dangers. When Freya unwittingly stumbles into the heart of that danger, Ozias is forced to intervene, though keeping his distance becomes more difficult as his wolf instincts drive him to protect her at all costs.

As the veil between the human and supernatural worlds thins, Freya becomes entangled in a web of magic, dark forces, and secrets that go far beyond her understanding. Drawn deeper into the forest's mysteries, she discovers that her connection to the land is far more profound than she ever imagined. But as Freya uncovers the truth about the ancient magic stirring within the forest, she realizes that her life-and her heart-may no longer be her own.

In Marked: Beyond the Shadows, the line between protector and captor blurs, as Freya and Ozias are caught in a slow-burning dance of attraction, danger, and destiny. With malevolent forces hunting her and a growing connection to Ozias that neither can deny, Freya must confront the dark secrets hidden in the forest-and within herself-before they consume her completely.

This dark romance fantasy takes readers into a world where ancient magic and love collide, set against the backdrop of a forest full of danger, secrets, and untamed power. Themes of destiny, protection, and self-discovery are woven throughout this atmospheric tale of slow-burn romance, supernatural intrigue, and werewolf lore.

She's always wanted her forbidden stepbrother. He wants her to fake date his best friend. Freya Zilinski has one secret she's never confessed: she's been in love with her stepbrother, Grey, for as long as she can remember. Seven years ago, just before he left the country, they kissed. Their parents caught them in the moment and Grey left the next day, claiming he had to further his studies. Now he's back. Freya is determined to make him see her, to make him admit what they both felt all those years ago. But Grey has other plans. Instead of returning her forbidden feelings, he asks her for a favor she never saw coming: pretend to date his reckless best friend, Miles Kreeve. Two can play at that game. What starts as a fake relationship spirals into dangerous territory: old wounds reopen, jealousy flares, and the truth about why Grey really left threatens to shatter everything. A toxic, forbidden romance full of tension, betrayal, and slow-burn obsession-perfect for fans of twisted love stories, fake dating gone wrong, and the kind of stepbrother romance you can't put down.

Her family chalks it up to stress. But deep down, Astrid knows there's something-someone-she's forgetting.

As the sky darkens and the world begins to unravel, Astrid must decide: stay in the life she knows, or risk everything for a love that has endured lifetimes. **FINISHED** Hello!! While the story is finished, I had so much fun writing it. It started as a challenge for myself after graduation, writing chapter a day. Okay, but I also wanted to be held accountable and Wattpad is an old home I haven't visited in a while so it felt right to do it here. I appreciate all the love this story has gotten! I may revisit this story again someday but until then, you can keep up with my new works here and on instagram @redhearthorror (my writers page) or @gothikvaleur (my authors page) 🫶🏽

He is drawn to her impenetrable heart; she is terrified by the unknown emotions he awakens. As her past enemies resurface and his own world threatens to collide with hers, Alia must confront the ultimate question: Can a cold heart learn to love a cold-blooded one? Or will their fragile connection shatter, leaving her lost in the darkness forever?
