He had everything he could ever want; luxuries, fine meals, power, respect... He needed nothing more than himself in the realm to fill his empty heart.
Alexander, a prideful, arrogant, and powerful King is cursed to live in the hideous form of a monstrous beast after showing his heartless ways at a masquerade ball. Desperately, King Xander uses all of his own sources of magic to try and break the hell-bound curse, all while staying defiant in following the Enchantress' prophesy of love.
After years of living hidden in the castle walls, time and hope began running out for the King and all his servants, who were cursed alongside him. If the King never tried following the love prophecy, could it perhaps be his last chance at redemption?
𝐿𝑜𝓋𝑒... it was almost laughable. How could a heartless King ever love? And most importantly, how could someone ever love a beast?

Anarchy - Book Two of the Alpha Series- Man x Man
Once the unseen, forgotten son, Nicolas Matesscu now finds himself thrust into the unforgiving spotlight as the soon-to-be King of Dezna. But the weight of the crown is a mere shadow of the guilt that haunts him-the heavy burden of his family's sins and the accusations that threaten to destroy him. All eyes are now fixed on him, and he soon learns that being king is not about wielding power. It's about the survival of his people. Nicolas has inherited a throne soaked in blood and stained with insurmountable problems. An Elven army marches ever closer from the north, and the possibility of peace has long since evaporated. The kingdom's future rests on his shoulders-and he wasn't prepared for any of it. He never asked for this-he never wanted to bear the weight of a fractured kingdom. To survive, he must convince the lycan horde that he's worth sparing. In a world where weakness is a death sentence, he faces a brutal ultimatum: unite with the most unlikely allies or watch his kingdom-and everything he's ever known-be torn apart. Nicolas must rise from the shadows of his past to save his people. He must prove to his enemies and allies that he is not the broken prince they expect him to be. Survival will demand more than just political cunning. It will require strength from places he never imagined, alliances he never thought possible, and a future he never wanted but might have no choice but to accept. To unite a splintered kingdom and rise above his past mistakes, he must become the ruler no one ever believed he could be-or lose everything in the process.Complete
Affliction - Book One of the Alpha series - Man x Man
Nicolas Matesscu has always been the shadow of the Royal family-a son who seemed destined for nothing more than obscurity. As the youngest of the King's male children, he never quite belonged in a court built on raw power and expectation. With magic coursing through his family's bloodline, there was little room for the son who couldn't live up to their legacy, especially when it became apparent that he preferred men. But everything changes when he's chosen to wield the elements of water and weather, a birthright and a curse. In an attempt to carve out a place for him and meet his father's unyielding demands, Nicolas is sent to the notorious School of Solomonari, where only the strongest survive. Against all odds, he returns triumphant, a supposed master of his abilities-finally earning the affection and respect he's spent his life chasing. Just as his life begins to resemble something like happiness, fate deals a cruel blow. A savage lycan horde-composed of the very slaves his father created, led by the ruthless warlord Alpha-descends upon his family, leaving Nicolas as the lone survivor. Nicolas is taken prisoner by the man who tore his world apart and forced to become a servant himself. Now, his once-proud city teeters on the brink of ruin, and the forgotten Prince stands as the last hope for his people. But when the world turns its eyes on him, the truth threatens to destroy him: the dark secret that he cheated through school is on the verge of being exposed. Nicolas must tap into a power buried deep within himself to survive and preserve what little is left of his family's legacy. But the real question remains: is a legacy forged in blood worth saving, or has it all been a lie from the start?

A Little Bite of Magic Goes a Long Way (BxB)
Matt Rose is nothing special. Though he's friends with witches and vampires, monsters and ghosts, Matt himself has always been painfully mundane. So, when an accident reveals he has a gift of his own, Matt is overjoyed. For his husband, Ben, on the other hand, it seems like one weird thing too many. With a growing rift between them, Matt can't understand why Ben doesn't love the magic in their lives the way he does, and why he seems able to make time for just about everyone and everything except for him. Finally, when things reach a breaking point just days before their first anniversary, Matt is devastated. With his heart in pieces, he decides to take matters into his own hands, get the truth, and win Ben back. As he quickly discovers, though, magic is fickle--a coin with two sides.

The Sword Of Excalibur [MxM] ⚣
Before Arthur Pendragon became King, he was the son of one. The son of Uther Pendragon, a man that exiled all magick from the realm which Britain existed in. Any violation was punishable by death. A public hanging for all citizens bear witness to in order to inflict real fear in their hearts. As a child, Arthur understood and supported such a decision... but once the boy aged to become a man, he soon realizes the horrors his father was involved in to bring about the controversial peace he once sought out. The very peace that was responsible for killing thousands of Druids. Thousands of innocent lives. Arthur has finally grown to an age of true understanding, and has decided that his father's ruling must be brought to an end... a timely death... however the chaos of it all is that he now must seek out a specific druid, one that was born of those his father had killed long ago, in order to assist in his own takeover. And what's even more unfortunate is that while Arthur is betrothed to another woman... Guinevere, a woman of true virtue... he cannot shake the feelings he soon develops for a man. A Druid... a Sorcerer no less. Arthur hadn't expected the man to appear with such good looks, nor such mischief and mayhem that could rock the noble's plans of ruling over Britain as its true King.
