Aria thought the forest was her escape until it pulled her into a world she wasn't meant to see. One touch of an ancient mirror, and she's torn from everything she knows, landing in a realm where shadows breathe, torches burn blue, and danger lurks behind every corner. Kim is the Warden of the Veil. A cold, unyielding guardian tasked with protecting the portal between worlds. And now, this human girl has crossed it. She's reckless. He's ruthless. And yet, fate has other plans. In a world where magic is deadly, secrets are currency, and one wrong step could mean death, Aria must navigate a realm she doesn't understand...all while facing a man she can't ignore. Will she survive the Mirror Gate, or will the secrets behind the glass consume them both? ━━✦❘༻༺❘✦━━ Aria ran harder. Legs burning. Breath slicing through her lungs. She turned a corner, tripped on her nightgown and pitched forward. A hand caught her. An arm wrapped around her waist and hauled her back against a body that felt impossibly solid and impossibly warm. She gasped as his breath touched her neck, cold enough to raise every hair on her skin and the cool edge of his metal mask grazed her neck. "If something else had been chasing you, little Wanderer," he whispered, "you would already be dead." Fear hit first. Fascination followed like a betrayal. "I hate this," she breathed. "You should." he said, and his grip tightened once before he let her go.

Millie William wakes to a nightmare-her parents murdered in the middle of their living room, and a strange silver ring left behind as the only clue. The ring's symbol leads her back to Crudel, a beautiful hilltop village wrapped in mist, magic...and secrets. In Crudel, the forest watches. The villagers whisper. And Elias-the quiet, mysterious boy with grey eyes-seems to know more than he's willing to admit. Even as Millie finds herself drawn to him, she discovers the truth her parents died trying to hide: Crudel is alive. Its magic chooses who to love...and who to destroy. And sometimes love is the most dangerous curse of all.Complete
Don't Wake Me
He only exists when she's asleep. Every night, Aria dreams of the same man- a stranger with eyes like storm clouds and a voice that feels like home. He's everything she's ever wanted... and everything she should fear. Because when morning comes, she forgets him. Until one day, she doesn't. When she starts seeing him in the real world-on the train, in her hallway, in her mirror- she realizes the dreams were never dreams at all. They were a warning. Now, the man who once loved her in the dark refuses to let her wake. And if she does... she might remember what she was never meant to know. ⚠️ Dark romance meets psychological fantasy. A love story that exists between sleep and madness, where passion turns to possession, and waking up might be the end. ✨ Because some loves aren't meant to be lived-they're meant to be dreamed.Complete
Mated to the Monsters
Trapped between two monstrous destinies, Aira never imagined her fate would be tied to not one, but two powerful alphas-each more dangerous than the other. When the boundaries between loyalty, love, and lust begin to blur, Aira must decide who to trust, who to fear, and who to surrender to. A steamy dark fantasy romance packed with primal passion, possessive monsters, and a heroine who learns to embrace her power.Complete
The Hollow Prince
COMPLETED. *NSFW* Auralie doesn't believe in fae stories-not the ones whispered by dying villagers, not the ones about cursed woods or monsters that eat your heart. But when girls begin to vanish and strange symbols bleed from the bark of the forest, she crosses the veil in search of answers. What she finds is him. Unmoving. Inhuman. Wearing a crown of antlers and eyes like cut emeralds, sharp with amusement. He speaks in riddles. Smiles like a threat. And calls her little moth, like a name he's been saving. The first time they meet, she draws his blood. The second, he offers her a bargain. The third, he consumes her. The Hollow Prince says worse things hunt her now-creatures that wear her face, sing her name, and slip into her dreams. He claims he's the only thing standing between her and the dark. But the deeper Auralie goes, the more twisted the forest becomes-and the harder it is to tell whether the prince is her captor, her shield, or the very thing she was warned to fear. There is a curse. A game. And a price that was never hers to pay.Complete
Here Lies Me
"To love once beyond the veil is to never live without consequence." Five final-year magic researchers uncover a mysterious record in their academy's archives - a legend of a woman who brought her lover back from the dead. No spell. No ritual. Just love. What begins as a thesis project quickly unravels into something far older and far more personal. Their journey leads them to the edge of a forest where it never stops raining, and within it - a manor untouched by time, and a man who never died. As they dig deeper, they realize they're not just chasing a myth - they're stepping into it. This is not a story about love triumphing over death. This is a story about what happens when it doesn't.
Apex, Part 1: The Camp
Milena agreed to the weekend hike out of guilt. She didn't love Keith-but after everything he'd done for her, saying no felt cruel. Then the black-clad figures came, and the forest turned to chaos. Now she's one of fourteen humans captured by the Apex-supernatural predators with a thirst for living blood. What began as a random selection becomes something much darker when Milena is marked as different... valuable. While others await release, she is quietly claimed. As unsettling truths unfold and her captor draws dangerously near, Milena begins to question everything. Not just who the Apex are-but what she is becoming in their hands. And when the masked Alpha steps out of the shadows, whispering, "You taste like honey..." She realizes the scariest part isn't what they want from her. It's what she might be willing to give.Complete
