Some shadows sleep. Hers are starting to whisper.
Nara Blake thought she was just an ordinary girl trying to survive school, silence old nightmares, and make it to graduation. But when a strange silver ring awakens ancient echoes-and the mirror in the school hallway breathes-everything she knows begins to unravel.
Whispers in glass. A boy who knows her name before she says it. A secret order hidden in plain sight.
And a past life that refuses to stay buried.
As Nara begins to uncover her true heritage, she's drawn into a world of forbidden magic, shadow-born creatures, and a love written long before she was born. But some truths come with a cost-and awakening the old power within her might just shatter the world.

The beauty and The unicorn [ON HOLD]
A story in which a wealthy and popular girl enrolled in college with an unknown gift meets a mysterious and beautiful man in a ball, accompanied by his world of magic and promises. ~ I gulp, feeling my skin getting hot all of a sudden. Why am I so hot ? "You're playing a dangerous game, Lovely," the magnificent young man whispers. "A-August..." I whisper with difficulty, trying to back up, and noticing that I'm already stuck on the wall. My throat is so fucking dry. I've never been as thirsty as I am right now. "Look at me, Lovely." I do as I'm told and my eyes bump against his. Fuck. Fire. His eyes are consumed with fire. The stunning shade of blue is now mixed with a consuming but warm tone of orange. He then raises his left hand and cups my chin with two of his long fingers, his soft lips slightly grazing mine, his breathing warm and enticing. "Because you have two choices," he whispers against my lips. "Either I'll make love to your wonderful and exquisite body, either I'll fuck the shit out of you." ~ Copyright @Lovebluehug All Rights Reserved Plagiarism forbidden All content @Lovebluehug ~ THIS STORY CONTAINS MATURE & TRIGGERING CONTENT/GRAPHIC SEXUAL CONTENT ⚠️ ~ Will be updated twice a week! ❤️ ~
