Mia's POV:
I thought Hawthorne Academy would be my escape-my freedom from the cold, heartless home of my stepmother. But I wasn't prepared to face the real truth.
I'm drawn to the cold, icy blue-eyed boy like a moth to a flame-the one who haunts my thoughts but hates me the most.
Lucas Alaric.
My mate... my soulmate.
The fear of rejection drives me to take drastic measures-ones that could destroy me.
His heart is a fortress built on pain, and I can't seem to stay away, no matter how hard I try.
Lucas' POV:
They say finding your mate is the greatest happiness one can know. But I know better. It's a curse.
I know what it can do-how it can destroy you.
My sister's death is a scar that will never heal. I don't want a mate to drag me down the same path.
But Mia... she's different. Every time I look at her, I feel a strange pull. I can't seem to stay away.
I can feel her heart, her pain, and it cuts deeper than any magic ever could.
And I hate it... I hate her.
Love only leads to destruction.
But when secrets unravel and fate begins to burn, will love be their ruin-or their redemption?

The Unbound
Born to be a legacy, I was meant to lead-until my powers never manifested. My parents called me a failure, a pawn to marry off for their schemes. So, I ran. I left behind everything: my fated mates, the academy where future leaders of Ostania are forged, and the destiny that demanded my obedience. For three years, I've lived in the shadows, trying to survive. But now, I got dragged back to the academy, my duties, and the dangerous games of power and survival. Life and death are daily lessons here. My Nexus despises me, my enemies want me dead, and everyone thinks I'm broken. A girl with no powers. But they can't know the truth. My powers are a secret I must protect at all costs. *this is a why choose/reverse harem book where the FMC ends up with more than one partner *this story is a work of fiction *this book will contain smut (later in the story)
My Second Chance? (SAMPLE)
Everyone deserves to find their own happiness, right?. Mates are aligned together as souls and wolf spirits who compliment each other. But free will doesn't always work well with the Goddess' plans. Sometimes our "better halves" really aren't the best thing for us. When that happens, all we can do is move forward and hope for a second chance at happiness. ***************************************************** I was backed up until I bumped right into the muscular and very bare chest behind me. "Tell me little one, is this something you want?" Is this real. No, things like this don't happen to me. I'm more likely to fall into a sink hole than have anything good really happen. I mean, good things have happened I guess, but not this good. "Tell him. Don't be shy now." Shy isn't the right word. I think I might be loosing my mind. This can't be real... can it? "What happens if I say yes?" ***************************************************** **TW-Possible Spoilers** Disclaimer/Warning This is a work of fiction.

He is strong enough to cast away the nightmares, to fight my demons scaring them away, to erase my scars with his tender touch. He teaches me to fight back, to be strong, to scream for help because now there is someone always coming to my rescue. Because now I have someone who loves me. Now I have him, my beautiful warrior, my soulmate, my leelen. We might not have met like normal people would, but again we are not normal and we are definitely not people. Even so our bond is stronger than anything and anyone. But finding my leelan is not the end of my story, it's just the beginning...Complete

Her hands were slapped over her mouth to muffle any noise that escaped her quivering lips. She wasn't sure how long she was in that pantry but couldn't come out until she was beyond certain that they had left. For a moment, she started to have hope that maybe they wouldn't be able to find her, but a voice spoke up, and fear flooded in once again. "You cleared out the upstairs, too, right?" "Yeah." Another voice responded. There was a slight pause, "Hmm. Then where is that heartbeat coming from, I wonder." His voice had a sickening amusement to it, and her heart rate uncontrollably spiked with the adrenaline pumped through her veins. Was he talking about her? The thought that he could hear her heartbeat was crazy. It just wasn't humanly possible. Footsteps grew closer to the kitchen. Somehow, they had found her. She said one last prayer and goodbye to her life as the pantry opened. "Boo." The man yelled, peering in at her. She was frozen. There was nothing more she could do. She was going to die. "Little Birdy," he stretched out his hand, "come out to play."Complete
The Phase Theta
Some say emotion is our weakness. But in my school, it's starting to crack the world open. It all began with a quiz bowl, a heatwave, and a strange boy who left mid-contest like he knew something the rest of us didn't. Then came the shimmer-a strange light, like water that wasn't water, trailing behind our footsteps. They say I sparked something ancient. I say I was just trying to win a medal. Now the lab stands in ruins, the air still tinted blue, and whispers spread faster than truth. Symbols appear in classrooms, files vanish overnight, and the so-called "Blue Phase" keeps deepening, like the school itself is holding its breath. Whatever it is, it's not going away. And neither am I. ────── ⋆⋅Θ⋅⋆ ────── THE PHASE THETA ✦ Story Genre: Science Fiction · Magical realism · Modern fantasy · School mystery ✦ Setting: Set in a Philippine university campus ✦ Manifestations: Shields.
