Zora Toussaint was born in blood and bound to something ancient.
She doesn't know that yet.
Raised by her devoutly Christian grandmother, Zora's life has been shaped by silence-silent glances when she sees things no one else can, silent prayers when shadows follow her, and a lifetime of pretending her imaginary childhood friend never existed. But on the night of her 21st birthday, that silence shatters.
He comes back.
Older. Stronger. Real.
The boy from her childhood dreams is no figment-hes real.
As ancestral magic awakens in her blood and spirits stir beneath the Georgia moss, Zora must uncover the truth of who she is, what her mother died protecting, and how deep Elijah's obsession with her truly runs. Because he doesn't just want freedom.
He wants her.
And the Veil between their worlds is thinning.

Feral Hearts
A thousand years ago, black witches created the beast bound by enslaving and binding the souls of wolves to demons. Granting them the ability to take human form, and access to the world's magics. After breaking free of servitude, and with more of their land being dominated by humanity, more and more of the beasts have mixed with humankind. With the half bloods losing access to their powers with every generation, the pureblooded wolves have cemented themselves as the alphas of all the packs. The only ones who have retained the might of their magic. There are two rules for a pureblood: 1. Keep your line pure. 2. Bear at least one child. To ensure they remain in control, the punishment for failing in their duty is death. When Natania's mother dies giving birth to her, her father, Alistair, abandons her to be raised by the pack's omegas. Where survival relies on compassion and community over brute strength. After Alistair suddenly reclaims her at ten years old, Natania, desperate to earn her place and her father's approval, must navigate brutal training, pack politics, and a future she doesn't want to face. Grappling with the inequality within the pack, she struggles to unite them under her leadership. But when her heart stirs for Leah, a half blooded wolf in her pack, the weight of her bloodline becomes too much to bear. When a devastating attack shatters their world and a powerful, manipulative alpha is forced upon her, Natania must fight for her very survival, discovering that the greatest threats may come from within her own pack, and her own heart.

The Lie We Told
Zoraida Forrester lived in the brutal 1800s landscape and knew the world was an unforgiving place. Her mother had made sure of that as she raised her to marry, murder, and do what is necessary in order to get back what she sees as theirs. Zoraida did as she was told and ultimately rebelled against it. She fought to be live and ultimately died to protect what was hers. In her sacrifice, she believed she would get her revenge and protect her descendants. Emmy Harris, the unknown descendant of Zoraida and those who harmed her, wanted a final goodbye camping trip in the summer of 1989 with her boyfriend and friends. What they found was murder, terror, and a curse that had been a part of her family's deadly legacy. Odelia Young, the daughter of Emmy, returns to the woods in 2019 to find her own answers. The answers she feels she has been denied her entire life. Bringing her friends she uncovers family secrets, lies, and powers she had never known possible. As well as the history of the woods and a curse done long ago... This story unfolds a deeply interwoven, multi-generational saga centered on a powerful family curse, supernatural legacies, and a brutal tradition of hunting humans in a haunted woodland. Spanning from the early 19th century to the present day, it explores themes of survival, betrayal, family secrets, addiction, witchcraft, sacrifice, and the quest for redemption and freedom from a dark legacy.Concluida
𝖶𝖠𝖷 𝖧𝖤𝖠𝖱𝖳
Nour Delour doesn't chase men. She manufactures them. Shapes their desire with oils, honey, blood, and flame. In her Harlem candle boutique, every scent has a spell, every wick a whisper of old Southern rootwork passed down from women who knew how to make love feel like a fever. So when Rajah Thomas━the ex who ghosted her, walks by her shop window with his new girl on his arm, Nour doesn't cry. She gets even. She carves his name into wax, mixes it with her own essence, then lights the candle her grandmother warned her never to use: the 𝗪𝗮𝘅 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁. It doesn't just draw Rajah back━it 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘴 him. And this time, he returns with wet eyes, trembling hands, and a craving he can't explain. He's starving for her aroma, her skin, her darkness. He says her name like a prayer. Cries when she lets him taste her. Tells her he'll never leave again. But obsession has a cost, and magic always demands balance. As the flame burns lower, Rajah unravels. He starts sleeping outside her door. Sobbing when she doesn't answer. Losing jobs, friends, time. As for Nour? She's not untouched. She's sweating through her sheets. Moaning his name in her sleep. Bleeding from places that shouldn't bleed. The spell has tethered them by more than lust━it's welded their souls into something unnatural, and if she tries to break it, 𝘪𝘵 𝘮𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘣𝘰𝘵𝘩. Still, there's a part of her━the part that wanted this━that isn't ready to let go. Because this love? It's not soft. It's not safe. It's 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗹𝘆.

I haven't made any adjustments to this story since I first wrote it, which was when I was about 18 years old. I'm 23 now, for reference. I adore this story with all I have, but most of the chapters I haven't even revisited since I first uploaded them. Any mistakes, I'm usually notified of them by readers who point them out in comments. Please tread lightly, for there are undoubtedly historical inconsistencies, incorrect language translations, grammar and punctuation mistakes, and information that hasn't been properly fact checked. This is a work of FICTION. Have fun with it, please! But also beware that this is an amateur piece (that I had a great time writing). Follow me on instagram! @ceaselessmindwritesConcluida
