Find out what happens when her secret is revealed and her only option is to fight for her right to be special or to give in to society and potentially ruin her life.

My heart beat was racing his and each breath he took sent electricity all over my body. I bit my tongue, scared of what my brain could make me say.

Be Careful Of What You Create, You May Not Control It For Long - Book 1 by RainRoulette
23 parts Ongoing Mature
Book 1 of The Wolf and Dragon Trilogy Series So often the balance of control is a fragile thing, and power can be usurped by a monster you once held in shackles. Creating the perfect weapon does not ensure your control of it. In order to stay in the game, you should always be on the lookout for what bigger fish lay in the depths of water you cannot see. Much like a lone wolf Elena keeps everyone and everything at a distance. To survive she'll throw away every last shred of her humanity and embody what her captors want. Her journey to power would have been far simpler, if not for Diego. The hostile environment she had dominated through brutality and an in-depth understanding of human psychology. He danced between both worlds, with a grace and charisma that came from innate natural talent. Pulling strings without ever revealing his true intentions. Would he be the undoing of all the power she had accumulated or did his eyes tell a different story? That he never hungered for her throne to begin with, perhaps he desired something else.

46 parts Ongoing Mature
"You're not supposed to be awake," she said to him. Her voice was rather deep, but somehow, still soft and feminine. "And you're not supposed to be here." He didn't dare get out of bed, but he rose onto his elbow. She squinted for a moment and then raised one corner of her mouth. "You naughty boy! Been skimping on your meds, have you?" ********************************************** He is utterly lost. Lost in time, without control. Lost in a world that's strange and daunting. But he must not give up. He's a fighter, after all. And though his sword fighting skills don't count for much here, it's the unrelenting spirit that can either break or save him. And her... Always coming out of seemingly nowhere. Always renewed, yet so familiar. Come to give comfort or just remind him fate has not forgotten him. And each time she leaves, it's like she rips a part of him along. They share a common understanding about the subtleties of life. She's the only one who gets him, yet that gnawing feeling that there's so much more about her just keeps him on his toes. But she never stays long enough for him to find out. Until one day when he convinces her to stay for longer. And the mystery starts to surface. But she's not used to it. She runs... never expecting him to follow into hell. Disaster strikes and breaks him, in a way that turns him callous and cruel. And that in turn breaks her, making her sacrifice her love for his greater good. But does fate agree with that? This is a rollercoaster of emotions, not built for the faint of heart. But it's for those who will endure through the pain and suffering that the greatest rewards await on the other side. Come! Join the adventure!
