Unabridged: Blood Bound
A Dark Medieval Horror by Anthony Diaz
Before the wastelands. Before the ruins. There was the first blood.
The year is 1231. The Order of the Templar Knights has returned from the Carpathian frontier, bearing a chained urn rumored to hold a divine relic-one they believe will restore God's favor to a dying kingdom. But what sloshes within is not salvation. It is a curse. A strain of blood meant not for mortals, forged by long-dead hands that knew neither mercy nor God.
At the edge of the Alps, where the snow is red with secrets, a hunter named Corvan Thorne lives in self-imposed exile. Once a knight. Now a ghost. Towering, unshaven, with glacial blue eyes that have seen too much, Corvan thought his days of war and wrath were over. But when a terrified boy stumbles into his mountain lodge-eyes wild, speaking of monsters behind the king's walls-he knows the quiet is ending.
That night, Corvan rides.
What he finds is unholy.
The king has drunk from the urn. His transformation was immediate-and contagious. The infection spreads faster than fire, turning nobles and beggars alike into ravenous, feral abominations. The castle becomes a tomb. The city a massacre.
As the kingdom descends into blood and ruin, Corvan must choose: flee the horror, or embrace the man he buried years ago to stop the spread. Armed with blade, fire, and knowledge forbidden to his former brothers, he alone understands the truth-this plague is not a punishment from God.
It's a design.
And it has only just begun.
UNABRIDGED: BLOOD BOUND is a brutal gothic epic blending historical realism with myth-borne horror. Witness the origin of the curse that would one day end the world.

Bleeding Rose | Kol Mikaelson
The Roseblood Clan. Three thousand years worth of magic cursing through their people's blood. Long before the Bennetts, before the Travellers, The Other Side and the Ancestors, there had been the Roseblood clan. Witches forged from the dying breath of a dragon in the centre of Scotland. The blood of the dragon was the legacy of their people. Yet, stories and history could be twisted by the victors of the many battles that had plagued the clan. A war between kin had destroyed the legacy of the Roseblood Clan. After a thousand years, their rule of magic had come to a halt. For over two thousand years, a story had been spun. The story of the evil siphoner. The abomination that had ruined their line. Yet, the truth loomed, threatening to reveal the true reason as to why siphoners existed. What their true purpose was. Were they abominations, the bastards of the magical world or were they meant to take power from those undeserving to ensure it was not misused? Only the victor of the battle gets to tell the tale. Athena Flora Roseblood was far from a victor. Being a firstborn Roseblood had cursed her like many others before her. Firstborn women in their line were not meant to meet their first breath of air, they were destined to die, to be sacrificed within the womb to help empower their coven, yet for the first time in two thousand years, a firstborn woman had come screaming into the world. Athena was never been meant to be born. Her blood haunted her from the second she took her first breath, her house divided thanks to thousands of years of lies. Lies that may never come to the light of day. Fear was a powerful totem and after two thousand years of lies, it left Athena trapped within the cage created for her. The abomination, the bastard of nature, the Roseblood Siphoner. Nothing to the world but a mistake and a monster.Complete

The Soldier's Hostage
"What is the appeal in being bound?" I looked up at Arthur in surprise, flushing darkly. I looked back into my lap when he glanced at me, still uncomfortable meeting his eyes. "It's not really the binding. It's giving someone else control. It's supposed to be about trusting someone enough to let them do whatever they want with you. Sophia didn't use it that way though." I chanced a look at him and found him quietly considering. He was curious. He tapped his fingers idly against the steering wheel as he thought. He suddenly pressed his lips together. "I don't know that I could do that. I like having the control. I've called it quits with lovers who were too aggressive." I huffed a mirthless laugh. "Well, in a perfect world, someone like me would find someone like you and live happily ever after. Unfortunately, the world is far from perfect." Arthur hummed in agreement and his tension melted away. This story is meant to parallel The Moon's Light and Moon's Reign. Both come after Moon Rise. It is written to make sense on its own, but it picks up abruptly and there is little character introduction.Complete

Old memories are rekindled, and new friendships are forged on this journey of a child finding his way home. ----- This is an original novella. While the concept of a particular part of this story has been inspired by another source, I am the sole owner of all the material presented here. Any similarities in name are coincidental. I should also mention that this is a novella, meaning it is quite short (10 chapters to be precise). This means there WILL be fast areas as I try to fit all of the necessary stuff in while maintaining a proper flow. Anyways, hope you enjoy! (Cover made by me)Complete

In the fractured land of Nerathys, where humans and spirit-bound warriors once fought side by side, a fragile peace is maintained by ancient magic. The heir to the empire's throne of the empire Caelthar, Prince Kael, is taken captive after a failed rebellion. Instead of being executed, he is given as a blood-bound servant to Lord Arion, the cold and ruthless commander of the empire's ghostbound armies - soldiers fused with the souls of the dead. But Arion is not what he seems. Bound to a ghost named Lyra, he's cursed with both immense power and a growing madness. When Kael is forced to serve him, he discovers the truth: Arion's soul is fading, and only Kael's bloodline magic can keep him tethered to the world. As Kael struggles to survive, he discovers a terrifying truth: only his bloodline magic can keep Arion-and the empire itself-from unraveling. Will Kael make it out alive? Will he build a relationship of trust and friendship with the Lord or perhaps even something more?

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.

Each book in this series is a standalone story, set in a world where violence and obsession collide, where love isn't gentle-it's a battlefield, a lifeline, a confession etched in blood. The characters, the conflicts, and the lives you'll meet are unique, but each tale carries the same pulse: dark desires, dangerous hearts, and the kind of love that can save-or destroy-you. This is the first book: Born of Blood, Bound by Love: Book 1 - Love in Death Blurb: She vanished from the spotlight. He vanished from the crime scene. Now, they live in the quiet shadow of the woods, hiding from everything they once were.

When she disappeared without a trace, the world went searching for her. Zack is a man who should not be loved. Cold. Careful. Dangerous. With blood on his hands and a past that won't stay buried, he's survived on the margins-until he met Ella by a river where no one was watching. Together, they built a life in silence. But the past has teeth. When Ella's name flashes across the news and search parties close in, she must choose: return to the world that broke her-or confront it. And Zack faces the question he's never dared to ask: can a killer deserve love? Some lives are forged in fire. Some loves are written in blood. Note: This story is an original work by me, MurielleSama, any similarities with other works are purely coincidental. It contains mature themes, dark romance, and scenes of violence.
