Mother was a fierce warrior, a proud Knight of the Empire - or she had been, at least. Now nothing had meaning anymore, as the World was breaking: the Empire was shattered, humanity had been devoured by the same flames that had cracked the earth, and all the people she knew were dead... But she could not embrace Death nor grieve, as she had sworn an Oath, her final tie to the Age that had come to a close: she had to protect the Child, to bring him somewhere safe.
That was her mission, and in order to fulfil it Mother had to cross a wasteland of ash and ruin, ready to face all kinds of danger, in the blind hope that a safe heaven existed somewhere.
But a shadow trailed her steps, always able to find her. His mission opposed to hers.
Only one of the two could fulfil their oath, and the Child's life - and maybe much more - depended on it.

Saved By The Alpha

The man laughs bitterly at me before grabbing me by the neck harshly. "I don't know what game you're trying to play you vile creature but this whole innocent act is going to get you nowhere." I gasp when he bares his teeth at me. "Don't worry, I'll put you out of your misery." I close my eyes, ready for the pain I was about to receive but...It never came. Instead a thunderous growl was heard from behind me. "What the hell is going on here?" The scary man's eyes widen in fear. "A-Alpha? S-She's a rogue and I was just trying to- "SILENCE!"

Rejected: Pregnant with the Alpha's Fated Son
I was chosen by the Moon Goddess, only to be rejected by my Alpha in front of our entire pack. Cast out. Broken. Alone. I was forced into the unforgiving wilderness with nothing but the tattered remains of my life. But I wasn't entirely alone. I carried a secret-his secret. The son of the Alpha who marked me as unworthy, the heir he would never know. To survive, I had to become someone else. The weak, invisible Omega died that night, and from her ashes, a warrior was born. I found a new power flowing through my veins, a gift from the Goddess I never understood. I was no longer the pack's weakest link. I was a survivor. A fighter. A mother. But when a deadly plague sweeps through the pack that threw me away-a sickness only I can cure-my past comes hunting for me. The Alpha who broke my soul now needs my help. He doesn't know that I'm his only hope. And he certainly doesn't know that I carry his son. Can I save the people who betrayed me without losing myself? And can I protect my heart from the possessive Alpha who is not just my fated mate, but also the father of my child and the greatest danger I've ever known? Author's Note: I post a new chapter almost every single day!
OBSESSION'S DESIGN
One look was all it took. Luna never noticed the man watching her from the shadows of that hospital corridor-but he saw everything. The way she smiled at the nurse, the fear in her eyes when she entered the exam room, the soft kindness in her voice. In that moment, he decided: she would be his. But Luna's world crumbled when the results came back. A rare, life-threatening condition. One chance of survival-a bone marrow transplant from a donor who refused to help. Desperate, Luna searched for answers, unaware that every road led back to him. The illness. The rejection. Even the donor file "accidentally" left behind. All of it was his design. Because he didn't want to save her. He wanted to own her. As Luna fights to survive, she discovers the truth: she isn't dying. She was never sick. And the only thing growing inside her... are his children. She thought she needed a cure. What she really needs-is to escape. ---Complete
Bed of Lies
They broke her trust. They broke his mind. Now the past is back-and this time, it wants blood. Victoria learned early how to survive in silence. Grief became her shadow. Guilt, her constant companion. Because if she had died that night instead of her mother... maybe everything would have been different. But the past doesn't stay buried, and when it drags her back into a world she barely escaped, silence won't save her anymore. Xavier learned how to disappear behind scars, rage, and the monster his past made him. A man shaped by violence, and driven by retribution. Victoria was everything he should avoid- soft yet unyielding, broken but still standing. She had the kind of pain that mirrored his own. She saw too much, pushed too far and worst of all, she made him remember something he buried a long time ago. He hated it. Hated her. Because she made him feel. What exists between them isn't gentle. It isn't safe or healing. It destroys. And when the truth comes for them both, they'll have to decide: Run. Burn. Or destroy everything in their path.Complete
Ashes and Oaths
Before the fire, there was the Oath. A promise sealed in blood. A curse hidden as law. They say the gods abandoned the continent of Aramour centuries ago. But the truth is darker. The gods did not flee - they were silenced. When the magic of the First Age threatened to unravel the world, the five High Kings forged a pact: to bind all power to the Crown. Magic could no longer be inherited. It could only be given - gifted by the state, marked by the rune, and shackled by the Oathstone. Thus, the Oathbound were born. Mages branded in the name of peace. Weapons disguised as men. The system was elegant, brutal, and absolute. Every magic-bearer was counted, trained, controlled. Any child who showed signs of unregistered power was taken. Those who resisted disappeared. For over a hundred years, the kingdom called this balance. The rebels called it slavery. Now, whispers rise again. Of a girl who burns without flame. Of shadow magic moving beyond the Crown's grasp. Of an ancient power waking - one older than the Oathstone, older even than the kings. And as war simmers in the alleys and ruins of the realm, one truth remains: The Oath was never meant to last.

Bound By His Shadow ( The Vincolo Series - Season 1)
I never believed in MONSTERS until I met him. Men like him? Oh, they don't walk in the light. Nobody says their names out loud, their DEEDS aren't recorded, but you'll see their HANDIWORK everywhere if you know where to look. It all started that one night. At the time, it seemed like nothing, just another evening. Little did I know, that was the night everything would change. The first time I stumbled into his DOMAIN was purely by accident, I had no clue what I was walking into. But the second time? That was different. I went there on purpose, driven by a job. Nothing personal, just BUSSINESS, or so I thought. Something I could easily leave behind when it was all done. Oh, how naive I was! His world isn't one you can just wander in and out of without a scratch. It's a place built on unspoken agreements, lies that dig deep, and truths too dangerous for most to handle. Every moment spent there pulls me further into his gravity. I thought I could maintain my distance, but somehow, I found myself getting closer to him,much closer than I ever planned or wanted. Close enough to almost forget what he really is. And that's the trouble because deep down, I still know how it ends. If he ever figured out why I'm really here, he wouldn't hesitate to put a bullet through my head. Walk away now while I can? I wish! Somewhere along this twisted path, with fate and its cruel jokes about CONTROL and POWER over others' lives, an ILLUSION crept into my mind. That maybe, just maybe, I had control over everything. That I was PLAYING the game. But no, not once was I ever the PLAYER. Just a PAWN in this bloody game of BLOOD & THRONE !! ____________________ ⚠️ WARNING :- THIS BOOK CONTAINS MATURE THEMES AND STRONG LANGUAGE.
The Fall of Empyera
The sky did not weep for angels - so neither could they. In a world where light and shadow wage eternal war, the fate of Empyera hangs by a thread. From the quiet streets of Drathmoor to the heart of a crumbling castle, heroes and monsters alike are bound by secrets, vengeance, and destiny. Aloria, the last Seraphim, fights to protect the fragile hope of the mortal realm. Candella, reborn in shadow, walks the line between guardian and executioner. Quae Sine, the healer child, harbors a power that can both save and destroy. And the enigmatic cloaked boy moves silently through the chaos, his allegiance unknowable, his presence a harbinger of change. As ancient prophecies awaken, Myrina rises, a daughter of ruin wielding unrelenting fury. The Heavenly Council falls, the mortal world teeters on the edge, and the boundary between salvation and annihilation dissolves. From shattered sanctuaries to hellish battlefields, Empyera becomes a realm of blood, fire, and impossible choices. Every alliance is tested, every life is weighed, and every soul will pay the price. In the end, only the echoes of power remain-and not all of them belong to the living. Because sometimes... the monsters wear halos. And sometimes... the light is no less cruel than the dark.Complete
