Adela (ah-del-ah)
Meaning: noble

She was anything but. Born into enslavement of her father's kingdom, becoming his deadliest weapon, Adela Faelan thought her whole life was planned before her by her father. He had trained her as an assassin starting at the age of five, completely throwing away her princess duties or any shred of a personal life. It was easy however, as Adela's father seemed to always have a list of enemies needing of dispatch.

But one night, being called into her father's privet chambers she was asked to perform a different task. Emissary. Her father had heard of this realm called Prythian, how they just came back from a war, winning against his brother, the King of Hybern. They seemed to be in shambles, fighting each other about what to do with their mortal lands, everyone on edge about who is really who's ally. He heard of the Spring Court and it's Lord who seemed to have lost everything, maybe he was the perfect way to wiggle in. So he sent her to the Spring Court of Prythian to convince Lord Tamlin to agree to this treaty. Allow the King of Ells to come into your land and stand with him as they both conquered what his lost brother didn't get to have.

But complications arose as anyone in her path seemed to recognize her. Her long onyx hair, tan skin when the summer months came around, the shape of her face... And her violet eyes. 

But it couldn't be possible that she was related to the Lord of the Night Court. His family was dead. But when the Lord sent his spymaster to get information about this stranger in their lands, there was no doubting it. Adela Faelan was in fact somehow a part of his bloodline. And somehow found herself as the spymaster's mate.

A Court of Golden Shadow || Elain x Azriel by pinkrasberryfish
43 parts Complete Mature
Following the events of the Azriel bonus chapter... Extremely slow-burn sexy Elriel, angsty Az, forbidden love, glamorous parties, powers, and DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA. Smutty, sexy, angsty... NSFW -- Love? Friendship? Mistake. Shuddering into her sheets, she flung off the quilt and heaved a sigh. It WAS a mistake. Clearly she was broken. And it wasn't the cauldron that did it. It was her. Because SHE picked Grayson while still human and then Azriel after becoming fae. But all Elain kept receiving was rejection, rejection, rejection. If immortality was just filled with getting her heart broken into pieces once every couple years over and over and over... she didn't want it. She wanted safety. She wanted security. She wanted a love that was written in the stars, perfectly laid out for her, and safe to grasp ahold of. And that's when she realized it: she wanted fate... but more specifically... she wanted to live by the cauldron's decision. Because if she couldn't choose love for herself without getting her heart broken, then perhaps she should put her trust in the cauldron. But she would do it her way. The primal nature of a mating bond was fae enough... it needed some... grooming. Leaving the comfort of her quilts and standing up, she drew towards the window, overlooking the front lawn of the River Mansion. Looking out her window, Elain came to a decision, her eyes gliding across the Sidra as it wound its way through Velaris and out into the realm of the rest of the Night Court. Court. Courting. She would court Lucien Vanserra, trust the cauldron, and get the Hells out of the Night Court and away from these infernal shadows."
Where Lost Things Dwell: Night Creatures Book Two by ALMcGurk
16 parts Ongoing Mature
After five years hunting down the vampires who had killed her family, living alone, outside society, Kalyna had finally found a home. She had signed up as a trainee with the Occult Task Force, a cross-species military branch where supernaturals and humans fought together against the darkest forces threatening this and every world in existence. Not only that, but she'd finally put her trust in someone; the amber and honey-eyed Staff Sergeant Dunstan Eorl, the vampire who'd held her together when no one else could. Her first problem...? The sire who'd enslaved Dunstan and tortured him for four hundred years now had her sights on Kalyna, asking that Dunstan trade her freedom for that of his wife; a wife he'd thought had died centuries earlier, but who had actually shared his grim fate. Not only that, but his sire, Laelia, seemed to be working with a cult who had no qualms about sacrificing people to open a 'door' and welcome their Lord. Her second problem? No one knew what or where the door was, who the cult worshipped, or why they needed Kalyna. Maybe the answer to that led back to her strange heritage, which included more supernatural strains than should have been possible, andr which had given her more instinctual magic than anyone could fathom. She hadn't even scratched the surface of what she was, but she feared that by the time she understood where she came from, it might be too late to save herself from the target painted on her back, or from the magnetism that drew misfortune toward her with unerring regularity. She was beginning to feel like a liability. Like perhaps her bad luck would eventually get someone else killed.

With the war against Hybern over, Prythian is finally able to breathe. That is, until four women are brought into a dream where they discover that they are more closely connected to the Cauldron than they once thought, and are now in grave danger. Things have awoken from deep beneath the earth. The power of the Cauldron broke the spells holding them back, and they are now on the hunt for it. They will stop at nothing until they have it. Monsters from another time, beings with enough power to reshape the world, and all they need is the Cauldron. Niana searches for those that share her connection, leading her to the Night Court. What she didn't plan for, though, was to be thrown into a past she desperately wished to forget. Secrets are forcibly brought to the light, and unknown feelings spark between herself and the one person she can't stand. ✩ ✩ ✩ "Take off your glamor," he said against my lips, voice rough. "I want to see it all," he whispered. I held a breath. "I'm afraid you'll hate what I am." "I could never hate you." ✩ ✩ ✩ Azriel x OC published on both Wattpad and AO3
