When nineteen-year-old Elara receives a letter from her estranged mother sent days before her death she expects guilt, maybe regret. Instead, she finds a name: Ashenmoor. A place Elara has never heard of, but somehow already fears.

The letter warns her to go there. To find the truths. To remember what was forgotten.

But Ashenmoor isn't just a house. It's a living thing,twisting hallways, doors that vanish, and a presence in the shadows that knows her name. Elara arrives with questions, but the house is full of things that don't want to be found. Especially him. Cold. Unshakable. Haunted green eyes that burn with fury the moment he sees her.

He doesn't just hate her. He remembers her.

And when the nightmares start to bleed into waking, when the house begins to reflect pieces of her she's never known, Elara realizes her mother didn't send her to uncover the truth. She sent her home.

But some homes are graves. And some family trees are poisoned at the root.All Rights Reserved

THE THIRTEENTH HEIR by em_Ste3

They told her she was forgotten. They were wrong. In the ancient realm of Ashenmoor, power flows through blood marked by flame-thirteen sigils, thirteen bearers, thirteen secrets carved into flesh. For centuries, the line of kings has ruled under the illusion of order... but that illusion is breaking. When a reluctant prince discovers a hidden truth buried in the ruins of a cursed village, he abandons the crown to seek a girl lost to history. A girl whose birth was erased. A girl whose touch may awaken something far more dangerous than any kingdom dares to remember. But the sigils are more than bloodlines. They are keys. And some doors should never be opened. As the wind stirs in the east and masked enemies rise in silence, the fire returns-not with prophecy, but with choice. Thirteen are marked. Only one decides.

OUTLAWED by Bella66

Elara, a young girl born into a broken world, where the royal family holds absolute power and mages-those with the ability to manipulate the elements-are hunted to the death. After witnessing the brutal murder of her father at the hands of the royal family, Elara's mother hides her daughter's identity, pretending to be the mage in order to protect her. But when the royal family learns of a new mage bearing a powerful mark, they arrive at Elara's home, and her mother sacrifices herself to save her daughter. With her mother's death haunting her and the royal family's forces hot on her trail, Elara flees into the woods, unveiling the magic she's kept hidden for years. In the depths of the forest, Elara discovers a hidden group of mages-boys and girls, families-each with their own elemental power: fire, water, earth, air, blood, metal, and ice. For the first time in her life, Elara is not alone. But her refuge is fragile. As the royal family intensifies its search, Elara must decide whether to stay hidden in the shadows or rise up with these newfound allies to reclaim her life and bring justice to those who destroyed her family. With vengeance in her heart, Elara's journey becomes a fight for survival, and a rebellion against the oppressive rule that has outlawed her very existence.

More Than Academic by LunarxMooon

Leena Ayari has spent years hiding behind silence - after her fiancé shattered her self-worth and taught her that love hurts more than it heals. Now in her final year at Syveria Crest Academy, she wants nothing more than to graduate quietly and stay invisible. Then there's Professor Damon Vashiro - sharp, composed, and distant. His lectures command attention, his eyes give nothing away. But behind the walls he's built lies a past he's never shared - one that left him just as wary of love as Leena. What begins as quiet admiration turns into something neither of them expected - a connection built not on desire, but on understanding. Yet in a world where lines aren't meant to be crossed, even gentle feelings can be dangerous. Two guarded hearts. One forbidden connection. And a love that feels less like temptation... and more like coming home. This story is my original work, shared here on Wattpad for readers to enjoy.

Ashes To The Tides by jacopsj

Elara has always known one truth: if anyone discovers what the water does for her, she will be hunted. Witches without covens don't survive long. Witches with rare gifts don't survive at all. When Elara is brought aboard the Obsidian Reaver, a ship feared across every charted sea. Its crew is made of wolf-blooded warriors, sharp-eyed vampires, and outcasts bound together by something fiercer than loyalty. They are everything she should fear. Yet they are the first ones who don't look at her like a tool or a threat. They protect her. Defend her. Some watch her too closely... especially Yuno, whose quiet warmth pulls at her in ways she cannot risk. But the sea is shifting. Her magic is growing. And something old, older than witches, older than bloodlines, is stirring under her skin, demanding to be seen. If anyone discovers it, she will become a target. A prize. A hunted thing. The Reavers would fight for her. Yuno would bleed for her. But as ancient tomes whisper of forgotten powers and sealed paths, Elara begins to fear a truth darker than any enemy ship: She cannot hide what she is becoming. And the moment she loses control... the world will come for her.

Ｃａｌｌ　ｏｆ　ｔｈｅ　Ａｌｐｈａ by RyanCage6767

In the frozen silence of a remote northern forest, Elara Frost has always felt the wild calling in her blood. But when savage attacks tear through her village, that call becomes something far more dangerous-a summons she can no longer ignore. Drawn to a world beyond the reach of men, Elara discovers the existence of ancient wolf-blooded clans bound by secrets, oaths, and power older than the snow itself. At their head stands Alpha Darian, a commanding leader whose protection feels as ominous as it is reassuring. Yet in the shadows of his rule prowls a rogue wolf-Rafe, fierce and untamed, a man who seems to know more about Elara's past than he should. As the blood moon rises and rival loyalties blur, Elara is forced to confront what sleeps within her veins. Torn between the order of the pack and the freedom of the wild, she must learn where her true instincts lie-and who she can trust when every howl in the dark hides a secret. In a world where love is a risk and power a curse, one choice will determine whether the wolves rise anew... or the forest drowns in its own blood.

"The Edge of Quiet"🌒 by penbyannie

Genre: Dark Academia | Psychological ✦ Thriller | Coming-of-Age | Mystery | Slow Burn Romance Tagline: This isn't a school. It's a mirror-and some of us aren't ready to see what we are. They said it was just a school. But then the walls began to whisper. Seventeen-year-old Elara Syed never wanted attention. A scholarship kid with a quiet voice and observant eyes, she enters St. Edevane's Boarding Institute expecting strict rules, elitist classmates, and endless exams. What she doesn't expect is silence so thick it hums in her bones. From the moment she steps past the ivy-covered gates, something feels off. Whispers slip beneath dorm room doors. Footsteps echo down hallways that lead nowhere. There are rules-but none of them are written. And those who question too loudly? They vanish. Elara's only plan is to survive, blend in, and get out. But when she finds a red thread tied to her locker and a page from a missing girl's journal, she knows it's already too late for that. Then there's Aaran Halbrook, the school's golden boy with perfect grades and dead eyes. He's always surrounded by people but never truly with them. He watches her. Not with cruelty-but with recognition. Like he's seen someone like her before. Like he knows she shouldn't be here either. When Elara finds a matchbook with a symbol, opens a hidden door in the library, and wakes up with dirt under her fingernails after dreaming of a forbidden floor-she realizes this school isn't what it seems. It never was. ⸻ ✧ 𝘈 𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘭 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘪𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘥. But what if the gift is surviving trauma? ✧ 𝘈 𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘴. But what if the shadows are watching? ✧ 𝘈 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘴.

Stolen Breath by LvDaSky

The moment she arrives, she feels the oppressive weight of the forest-a place where the shadows whisper and the air hums with forgotten magic. One restless night, she dares to cross the boundary into the ancient woods and meets the town's oldest secret: Cassian. He's dangerously beautiful, utterly cold, and has been frozen in time for two hundred and fifty-four years. Cassian is the Warden, bound by an unbreakable covenant sealed by Elara's ancestors centuries ago. His silver eyes are the only light in the gloom, and his gaze tells her everything she needs to know: the waiting is over. Elara carries the final payment. Cassian came to collect the debt. The cost of his freedom might be her life, but the magnetic pull between them is a terrifying promise of a fate they can't escape.
