Magic hides in plain sight.
Beneath the polished world of humans lies a shadow realm filled with the supernatural-spirits whisper through crowded malls, demons teach finance in college halls, and vampires rule entire corporations with fang-sharp charm. Most people don't notice. Most wouldn't survive if they did.
But Thirak Adulyadej isn't most people.
Born into a rare and powerful wizard bloodline, Thirak is the last heir of a legacy wrapped in magic, revolution, and tragedy. When he enrols in Elysium Academy, the world's most prestigious and secretive supernatural school, he's not just there to master his craft. He's there to uncover the truth, challenge the system, and finish what his ancestors started-a rebellion against the occult elites who puppeteer governments and keep pro human only agenda mortals in power despite their population being the smallest.
Elysium is a glittering, gothic marvel-towers floating on moonlight, classrooms that breathe, libraries that remember you, and students who are anything but ordinary. Shifters with silver eyes, ghosts who flirt with shadows, celestial beings with broken wings, and demons who smirk like they've seen your soul... because they have.
And amid all this chaos, Thirak wasn't planning to fall in love. Love was never part of the plan. But neither were late-night spell duels, forbidden kisses in illusion gardens, or rooftop stargazing with someone who shouldn't exist.
Now Thirak has to balance magic classes, hidden societies, a brewing war, and a maybe- potential lust beyond , hand of the enemies an hands of the friends

(This story does occur in the True Silk universe, but it is a few hundred years in the making.) He doesn't blink, still. She kisses her teeth, folds her arms and walks away. "Fine, you wanna stay down here? You can." "Come on, man." I turn around again. "This really isn't funny -" A tall, pencil-thin figure looms behind him. Its white skin is translucent and papery and its fine, greasy black hair has been formed into matter locks. Its neck, which is slightly too long for humans, is stretched like a turtle's while its shoulders are pitted down and and hunched. If it were possible, Grants eyes go even blanker, as if the life had just left his body. It's a few seconds before his body collapses to his knees and then laggingly onto his face. The creature's slender, skeletal fingers drip with his blood, in its hand, a fresh, still desperately beating heart. Grant's heart. * Julien would be your run of the mill bad girl; smart mouth, always picking fights, doesn't take anyone's crap bad girl. She would be...if only it weren't for the fact that she is an out-of-the-ordinary vampire. That much is made very clear when she and some friends go poking around the forbidden catacombs outside of their home city. They accidentally find something ancient and murderous lying beneath its surface with ties to old, dangerous magic kept locked away for good reasons. And now he has ties to her.

A Vampire and a Wolf
[Completed] Previously called: "My Teacher is a Vampire" __________ This book is an actual mess and has more typos than I breath in in one day. I've written this book when I was... uh, holly shit, when I was 16, so it's cringy as hell. You understand everything. Since it somehow has more than 700k reads and people seem to love it a lot, I'll become a decent author for once and edit it thoroughly. * * * * * * When you run away from your dark past, you expect to find a paradise or something similar to it, whatever the fuck fairytale cliche waits at the end of a long road, I guess. So did I. I wanted to spend my life living without problems and worries, I really did. I was a decent person, I didn't fight for no apparent reason, I didn't curse (to a dangerous degree, at least) and I didn't look for trouble living as plainly as I could But that modrefuckre just had to enter my classroom out of all and find me. He couldn't have stayed in Russia or wherever his Vampire castle was and rule for the rest of his life (which is trust me, pretty long period), drink bloody snacks and order his evil minions around for at least next five decades and let me die as a human. No. That Vampire King just had to come in my life and claim me as his beloved. * * * * * Azriela is 17 and she is trying to get through her last year in the high school and even picked the most ordinary name, Alex, to do so. She's the most hated werewolf in the world, has a dark past and even darker destiny, but the worst of all? She is beloved of the most ruthless vampire in the world. Can she change him and change herself as well in the meantime, or are some mates just not supposed to happen? Caine: Will you ever shut up, mutt? Azriela: When you're done burning in hell, leech!Complete

Alpha's Baby | astera22
My mum always used to tell me what it's like to see your mate for the first time. She used to say that at that moment, everything around you stopped, that nothing else mattered. And nothing else would matter. If it wasn't for the little girl clinging to my leg right now. That little girl that trusts me with her life, that beautiful little girl that made me hold on and not give up on life. That little girl, whose father is standing in front of me right now. He's my mate. The edges of his lips curve and he looks up and down as if checking me out. "Long time no see." Are the words that first come out of his mouth that break the silence. ~~~~~~~~~~ Lexie is an Alpha's daughter. She faces a hard few days and thinks a night at the club will help her get through this. A few drinks won't hurt, right? At least that's what she thinks. Yet that night will change everything sooner than she would ever imagine. When the next day, her pack gets attacked, everything is chaos. Her mother and father are killed and her world shatters. She's forced to run away and leave everyone that she still has left behind. She thinks she has no one... that's until she finds out about another heartbeat in her body. Raising a baby on your own is hard enough. After a few years she finally meets her mate though and it turns out she knows him after all. How will she confess that her mate is actually her daughter's father? What will happen now? We don't live in a fairy tale where every story has a happy ending though. Real world isn't that easy...if you can call a world full of mystical creatures very real.Complete

Midnight Veils
I should've been worrying about exams, not monsters. My biggest fight was supposed to be with algebra, not the undead. But the city doesn't care about what you deserve. It just chews you up and leaves the bones for the rats. My name's Leo. I was a high school nobody with a detective's eye and a past that kept bleeding through the cracks. Then the supernatural came knocking-fangs first. Vampires in leather jackets, demons in business suits, nightmares with faces too human to be real. Now my nights are spent chasing whispers about cursed relics and forgotten wars, all while something rotten coils tighter inside me. Every clue is a cut, every fight another bruise, every shadow a reminder that I'm not just the hunter anymore-I'm prey. They say coming of age is tough. Try doing it while the city's bleeding out and the monsters are circling. The halls of my school feel safer than the alleys, but only just. Because even here, behind lockers and neon lights, the darkness has a way of finding me. This is a slow-burn mystery, dripping with blood and cigarette smoke, where growing up means learning what it costs to fight shadows-and what it costs when the shadows fight back. Midnight Veils. The night doesn't care how young you are. It still bites.
Unwanted Mates (Black Moon Book One)
"He can die 'cause we haven't had sex?" I say as the weight of what she's just told me hits me like a ton of bricks. "The longer the Alpha stays in that state the more dangerous it gets.

This is no ordinary love story. Two vampire princes battle their parents to gain the right to love each other- their mates. One comes from a long line of Draculas and will in fact be the next Dracula on the throne which means that he will be ruler over all vampire kind. Another comes from a line of royal French blood mixed with a family secret of long ago and quite a few secrets threaten to change everything. Paris Grimm, a brother missing his other half, meets his mate one night in a music room in Transylvania and finds that his love is forbidden, but he can't get Richardo Dracula out of his head, the dark prince who doesn't respect the laws made years ago for order. In order to be with the one he loves, he has to challenge everything and win or else he'll be torn apart from the love of his life. After all, this kind of love only comes once every few thousand years. Who wouldn't fight for it even if everyone thought it was wrong to not marry who your parents arranged for and definitely sinful to marry a male or bite another pureblood. Not only does Paris have this on his mind, but his twin enters his life again, having been separated at birth from each other. Their parents did dark things in the past, selling off one of the twins and raising the remaining one as the rightful heir to the throne and an only child. ~This is another story by EmeryHowl11~ *This is a remake of the original Screams of Insanity series*Complete
