In the shadowed town of Ravenstead, where the fog never lifts and the moon never sets, Aveline Blackthorn, a fearless investigative journalist, arrives seeking the truth behind the mysterious disappearances that have haunted the town for decades. Ebonwood Forest-a cursed, forbidden wilderness-holds the answers, but the forest is not only a place of danger. It's the source of an ancient, deadly curse.
Cedric Ravenscar, the tortured soul who guards the town, has spent years keeping his monstrous half-wolf nature hidden. A cursed lycan, bound to the forest by a fate, he can not escape. He is the last line of defence between Ravenstead and the creatures that prowl its borders. But when Aveline uncovers his secret, the darkness of the forest awakens-and so does the peril that threatens to tear them both apart.
Drawn to each other by a magnetic force, neither can resist, Aveline and Cedric must uncover the truth behind the curse before it consumes them both. As the full moon rises, their bond grows stronger-and the ancient forces that have haunted Ravenstead for centuries close in. Every step they take reveals a darker truth, one that will shatter their world and force them to face a terrifying choice: survive the horrors of the forest... or become part of its twisted legend.
In a town where loyalty is a lie and nothing is what it seems, the race for survival is more than just life or death. It's a battle for their very souls. Will their love be enough to break the curse, or will the blood-soaked secrets of Ravenstead drown them in darkness forever?

Trinity (A Werewolf Novel) ✔
[Completed] Every Wolf Moon, humans are selected from each village to be sacrificed to the werewolves; creatures worshipped by humans as godlike figures. In a twist of fate, seventeen year old Mila Young is selected to be the annual sacrifice for the Trinity pack, the most powerful pack ruled by King Alpha Roman Stone. Alpha Roman and all werewolves under his rule are cursed. His hatred for the humans and his war on the deity Moon Goddesses has caused his kind to lose the favor of their blessings. However, when Mila reveals herself to have a connection to the werewolves unlike anything a human has ever had before, it becomes apparent that she may be the key to ending the suffering of Roman and his wolves... if only he can overcome the lifelong hatred that clouds his mind and darkens his heart. Excerpt: "You smell like wolf," The King Alpha declared, his voice low and angry. "I killed one," I both explained the smell and threatened at the same time. "And you think you can kill me? You think you can take my pack?" I glanced around at all the lycans still in their wolf forms, bowing obediently towards me. Could I take all of them on? I doubted it. I didn't even think I'd get this far. I didn't even know what was going on. When I turned back to the King Alpha, he was significantly closer. "Stay back!" I cried out in fear. The power flared within me once more, lifting whimpers from around me. The King Alpha hesitated again, his eyes skating over me with confusion. He took a deep breath, sniffing the air around me as he hadn't yet gotten any closer. "You smell like... my mate." {{Warning: Some scenes may be unsuitable for audiences below the age of 15 and offensive to those of all ages.

In the heart of the forbidden forest, she discovers a wounded vampire who should have been her sworn enemy.

Yet when their eyes meet, an impossible bond awakens and calls them together with a force neither can deny. Werewolves and vampires are locked in a centuries-long hatred. Their laws are carved in blood. Their battles have shaped kingdoms. A connection between the two races has never happened, and anyone who dares break the rule pays with their life. Lycara and Rhaelyx must navigate a growing war, hidden truths, and a prophecy that speaks of a union capable of salvation or ruin. Trust becomes fragile. Desire turns dangerous. Every choice pulls them deeper into a destiny that threatens both their worlds. Their love is forbidden. Their bond is fated. Their future holds either peace or destruction. The Blood Moon does not choose lightly. And once it binds two souls, no power can unbind them.![THERON (Book I In The Ancients Series) [SAMPLE]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/208006824-256-k693755.jpg)

Veiled in Light and Ruin
Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls.

Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood.
