Executed as a traitor. Condemned to the flames. Forgotten by the kingdom he once swore to protect.
Sir Leonhardt Vaelmont-once one of the legendary Seven, the kingdom's most revered knights-was betrayed and sentenced to death after attempting to kill the king. Branded a traitor, his name was erased from history, his honor burned to ashes. But death was not the end.
Resurrected by an unknown force, he returns to a world that has already moved on as Ash. The kingdom teeters on the edge of chaos, corruption festers within the royal court, and the church's grip tightens as it weaves its unseen schemes. Rumors of his return spread like wildfire-some fear him as a vengeful ghost, others as a demon sent from the depths. But Ash seeks neither redemption nor peace. He seeks the truth.
When a noble's caravan is slaughtered and a lone survivor, a boy named Elias, is left carrying a gruesome message, Ash is thrust into a deadly game of secrets and shadows. The deeper he digs, the clearer it becomes-his execution was only the beginning. Someone is pulling the strings behind his resurrection, and the church has plans for the child he lost long ago.
With his black sword in hand and vengeance in his heart, Ash walks the fine line between man and monster, legend and myth. The kingdom that once worshipped him will learn to fear him. And those who buried him in the past will soon wish they had made sure he stayed dead.
But there's one question that haunts him more than any other.
Why does he keep coming back?

Elemental Odyssey: The Scrolls
When a boy named Havon mourned the tragic death of his best friend, his life took a strange turn after his cousin discovered a mysterious glowing stone in their classroom. The incident revealed the existence of supernatural stones scattered throughout the city, each holding incredible powers. Determined to uncover the truth, Havon began collecting these stones. During his journey, he visited his late best friend's home, where memories of their past resurfaced. There, he stumbled upon his friend's old diary tucked away in a forgotten drawer. Within its pages, Havon uncovered a shocking revelation: the stones held the power to bring back the dead. Fueled by hope and longing, Havon successfully used the stones to revive his friend. But something was wrong. Though alive, his friend was a hollow version of himself-stripped of memories, emotions, and the spark that once defined him. Havon soon learned that to restore his friend completely, he needed to find the four ancient scrolls said to fully revive a soul. These scrolls were hidden across distant and dangerous lands. As Havon and his companions set out on this quest, a new threat emerged. Prince Zaro, the embodiment of darkness, sought the stones for his own nefarious purposes. His shadow loomed large, threatening to destroy anyone who stood in his way. Havon and his group now faced a dual challenge: protect the elemental stones from the prince's grasp and locate the scrolls to fully restore their friend. The journey ahead would test their courage, loyalty, and resolve. Can they overcome the forces of darkness and undo the consequences of their choices, or will their actions plunge them into even greater despair?
The Hybrid
I jumped to my feet and punched him in the side. There was hardly an effect. "You're weak" he spat, walking a step closer towards me. I growled as I had had it with this blood sucking devil! My blue eyes fumed in anger as my wolf was released. I am a white wolf. Liam's eyes bulged as he saw my true form. He then smiled ready to fight. I lunged for the bastard, knocking him to the ground. His other minions rushed towards me all attaching me at once. I attempted to fight against them. They kept coming on me and it was becoming too much for me to handle. My fur had gone from a snowy white, to a bloody reddish color. So much blood. I laid down. Maybe just a minute of rest. I saw Liam walk up to me. He looked down at me and smiled. "What's wrong little wolf? No more energy?" He smirked. Then Liam was suddenly thrown to the damp ground by something, a jet black wolf with glowing red eyes. He was beautiful with his gleaming coat and strong legs. The black wolf left Liam on the ground and fiercely killed all of Liam's minions easily. He wasn't finished with his prowl, he turned back to face Liam but realized that the pureblooded vampire had already run off. Then I hear a deep growl. "Mate", and my heart stops. ------------ Alexandra's pack is mercilessly destroyed by werewolves most hated species: vampires. The species has hated each other since the beginning of time.

THIS BOOK IS COMPLETED but it will be HEAVILY EDITED and have things added to it in the future. I wrote this book when I was much younger. I didn't expect it to reach this amount of popularity so I will devote my time to bettering it in the future. ------------------ Every year, in our village and the neighbouring villages, we encounter, on what is suppose to be the most divine and celebrated day of the year, a visit from the 'big bad wolf'. At least that's what the children call him. Adults like to call him "inhuman" or a "wild ravenous monster". However, the majority settle for "beast". No one knows why he ruins this specific day for us, the day we can celebrate our species: werewolves. Some despise him for taking this day from us and forcefully exchanging our merry and joyful laughs to screams of fear. When that specific day of the year approaches us, none of us are ever prepared for it. He always comes at night. We are told to lock our windows, draw our curtains and our doors. We are told to hide. There's one main rule that we have: don't look at him. Because if you do, no one knows what'll happen to you. Maybe that's the worse part, not knowing your fate. Not knowing the outcome of your foolish actions. If he comes roaming your streets, you have a right to be scared. Us "maidens" are always encouraged to hide ourselves the most, it's women that he supposedly wants more. However, I believe that that is a cautionary excuse. He'll take you, no matter how old or how young, no matter how innocent or how corrupt, no matter your gender, all it takes is a look. Either he looks at you, or you look at him, or you both exchange looks. Either way, his senses will pick you up, and you can't hide. It'll be too late. The amazing cover is by @-blackrogue. The amazing aesthetics in this book are by @mackreadsbooks24 Highest Rankings: 1st in #werewolflove 1st in #fierce 1st in #defiant 1st in #feminism 1st in #monster + many othersComplete

The Beast (Alpha Trilogy #1)
"I know I'm a monster, but even I have my limits!" I shout at him. He shouldn't have done that. "Wait, please, I- , let me explain. I'm sorry-" "I should've known." I say quietly as I turn around and leave him there. I will never trust him again. Not after this. She wanted to be left alone. He wanted to find his mate. She didn't know about his kind. He didn't know about her past. She was a human. He was a wolf. Will he win her over? Will she accept him? Will they be happy? Or will someone try to ruin them?

Markie
All werewolves have mates. So what happens when you fall for someone before you're 18... "Hopefully hes my mate" is all Markie can think as she waits for her 18th. This is a short story that takes place in the middle of "Orphan Wolf". It can be read independently but will have spoilers if you intend to read "Orphan Wolf"... I of course would suggest you read it and pause at the point I marked to read "Markie" but the choice is yours. Story excerpt "Come on Ryan leave me alone!" A boy yells. "You started it Francis... come on pup don't start that with me... I don't have time for this! GO HOME!" I felt the command. I see the little 8 year old boy from last night run away crying, one of Ruby's cousins. When I turn the corner I see a boy about 20 and am hit with an overpowering smell something like fresh cut wood and autumn leaves. It is amazing. I see the guy turn towards me and duck behind the house I am standing by before he sees me. Nope! Not him! Not happening! I hear footsteps coming towards me and run. Into the woods I find a pine tree. Perfect! Pine trees are great hiding places. The branches hide you visually and the smell masks your scent. I climb up as quickly as I can and watch the guy approaching. He circles my tree looking around but eventually gives up and goes back towards the houses. "Mate!" My wolf happily purs. "Not him!" I respond. "Denial." She says. "Refusal." I counter and she growls at me. "You will NOT reject him!" She orders. "He is a bully!" "He is mate!" "He commanded that kid when he could have just talked to him! He is a bully with no patience!" "He is an Alpha!" She purrs with pride at his rank. I don't care! "I don't want him!" "The one you want isn't mate. He isn't yours. He isn't interested... I want mate!" "No." I block her out and climb down the tree.Complete
