Betrayed. Poisoned. Left for dead.
Kenna's life shatters in a single, blood-soaked evening. What was supposed to be an innocent gathering around the fire turns into a brutal act of treachery as her closest friends-people she trusted with her life-tear everything away from her. Poison laces her veins, a blade slashes through her sister's throat, and the last thing Kenna remembers is the taste of blood and the coldness of betrayal.
But death isn't the end.
When she awakens, gasping for breath and clawing her way back from oblivion, she finds herself in the company of three peculiar students and a powerful witch. Confused but alive, Kenna learns that she's been touched by something dark and ancient-something that shouldn't be possible. Her sister, however, remains buried by the lake, a reminder of what was stolen from her.
Determined to survive, Kenna forms an uneasy alliance with the witch and her students, seeking refuge in their strange world of hidden magic and forbidden secrets. But vengeance is never far from her mind. As she learns to harness her newfound abilities, whispers of necromancy swirl around her existence, making her both feared and hunted.
Kenna's resurrection is not just a fluke-it's a sign. There are forces at work, shadows creeping from the edges of the world that threaten everything she knows. And if she's going to get her revenge, she'll need to embrace the darkness simmering within her.
Her enemies thought they buried her. They were wrong.
The girl they tried to kill is back, and this time, she won't fall so easily. In a world where loyalty is fragile and power is everything, Kenna must decide: cling to her past, or forge a new destiny from the ashes of betrayal.

In the heart of the ancient Amazon, two siblings are bound by a magical legacy and a solemn vow. Sam, the young heir to the Dark Wolf Pack, is his sister's sworn shield. Luna, blessed with the vast, untamed power of the rainforest itself, is his reason for living. But their world is shattered in a single night of betrayal when Sam's body is stolen by his master, the dark magician Lightning, and forced to commit an unspeakable act that destroys their family and leaves Luna for dead. Years later, Luna lives a fractured life in Ireland, hiding her magic and healing her trauma with the help of a found family of fellow shifters-a leopard, a snake, a rabbit, and a mysterious crocodile bodyguard named Luca, who carries a secret connection to her past. Just as she begins to trust and love again, a storm from her past returns. Sam, scarred in body and soul from years of torture and imprisonment, risks everything to escape and clear his name. He must confront his former master in a final, magical duel to prove his innocence to the sister who believes he betrayed her. But just as they reclaim their bond, a more insidious enemy strikes from within: a terminal illness.

The Lycan's Bargain
"Please help me... I'll do anything. I just want my mother to live." I cried, tears streaming down my face in torrents, my body trembling in fear. Kael stared down at me, his glowering eyes devoid of any emotion and a chill ran down my spine. "Anything, you say?" He asked, pointing the edge of his sword against my neck and I stiffened, refusing to breathe. "Anything... " I whispered, my voice small yet resolute. A corner of his lips quirked up, not quite forming a smile. "How about my slave?" ***** She was supposed to be his captive, not his salvation.

Soul Mates
Watching Anna, she was actually down stairs sipping water quietly. I couldn't help but stare at her. Her usually midnight drink. "Thirsty." "Oh, uncle you startled me." She had backed away from me as I tried to touch her. I had been needing her touch more and more. "Why are you so afraid of me?" "What are you talking about?" She nervously giggled as she crept backwards. "I have notice a few things and well you cower at my touch. Tell me Anna, do I frightened you?" Have I in someway? I wondered. "No, uncle," she stepped closer to me pressing her palm on my chest proving that she is not the least bit frightened. "You don't scare me one bit." Her lips were smiling but her eyes had told me a different story. "The prove it." I was now leaning as she had licked her own lips. Fuck I want to taste those lips. "How." Her breath sent me shivers down my core. Further leaning in, I pulled her closer, my hand now firmly on her back as my lips made contact with hers. She hesitated at first, I could feel she was withdrawn but that didn't stop me from taking what I wanted. Kissing her made me forget. I know I shouldn't but I wanted to forget what I had lost. Is it wrong of me to think like that? But this kiss felt so right. Why? She felt perfect beneath me. At that moment I wanted more, I wanted everything she would give me. I wanted her.
