Inheritance is never clean.
Laila returns home expecting grief. What she finds is rot-growing in her family's silence, blooming from the pages of a book that should not exist.
Passed down through the women of her bloodline, the book promises answers. But each truth it reveals comes at a cost. Whispers follow Laila through the woods. Old memories crawl back, out of order. And the people she trusts most are beginning to change-maybe they always were.
Something ancient is watching. Something older than God.
And it's hungry.
[This is a rough draft and I am open to any critiques as the story changes. thanks for reading!]

Way of the Wolf: Equilibrium
The Wulvers Series Book 6 #79 in magic #198 in paranormal "The path I choose will decide my fate; to follow tradition, or to break it." ~ Raeghan Ava Lyall As the female first born of an Alpha Pair like my mother before me, I knew it would be easy to settle for the same fate as her; to have my life choices come down to mating and becoming an Alpha Female, or never rising above the rank of Beta. I choose neither. Every day, I live to prove I should be heir and one day take my father's place as Alpha of the Western Pack in Scotland. Such ambitions challenge an age old tradition that make enemies of Wulvers who cling to their ancient ways. And most do, which means few dare to stand at my side. The lonely fight is tiring, and after so many years I'm left with an unsettling question: if the council and my father continue to refuse my claim, what do I have left? My cousin Fenna might provide a much needed chance at finding a sense of equilibrium within myself again. Her mate's pack live in deep the Scandinavian wilderness and their Alpha Pair promise they can mould me into a worthy heir for my pack. But going there means being near Ebbe, a male who grew up in fur more than skin and sees things so differently from me. A male who tempts me to break a rule I made. And if I do, it could destroy everything I've worked for.Terminé
The Town That Forgot to Mourn
After surviving a tragic accident that took her father's life, sixteen-year-old Emma is forced to move to a quiet little town with her grieving mother. The town is picture-perfect-too perfect. But beneath the surface, something is deeply wrong. Their new house is unsettling. The air feels cold. The nights are too quiet. And Emma can't shake the feeling that something-or someone-is watching her. Her mother, once grieving, is suddenly... too happy. The townspeople are welcoming-too welcoming. And the house? It whispers to her. Tells her things she shouldn't know. But no one will listen. As Emma unravels the town's secrets, she realizes she was never meant to leave. And if she doesn't escape soon, she might not be Emma anymore.Terminé![The Ghosts of Melbrew [1/12]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/208617999-256-k530408.jpg)
The Ghosts of Melbrew [1/12]
BOOK NUMBER 1 OF 12 IN THE MULTIMAGICAL SERIES BY LILLIAN R.S. ☆☆☆ Emeline Orman was sixteen when she and her parents moved across the country to the coastline of Washington state. A small town known as Melbrew sat comfortably in the middle of thick woods, so tiny and unknown that it doesn't show up on any maps, making it the perfect spot for malicious activity to go unnoticed. On her first day of school, she met some rather weird people, who all shared a strange similar interest. This little group had quite the reputation for their knowledge of the town's not-so-secret dark history... as well as all of the unusual things that have been reported to them. It all started with the rich Humphrey family tragedy back in the 1800s, where for years it has been speculated that the mother killed her husband and children. Being very eager to get to the bottom of all the town's mysteries, one thing leads to another as discovery after discovery begins to pile up, ranging from random holes in the ground, to suspicious buildings in the middle of the woods. Secret doors, tunnels, and books that talk about nonsense seem like they lead nowhere, with no connections! Though perhaps the most mysterious oddity of them all is the otherworldly gateway surrounded by old fences, tied back to the founding family. ☆☆☆ • CW: Strong language, murder, and gore • 34 Total Chapters! • Total Word Count: 142,450 • PLEASE NOTE: This book is part of a series! It is the first book of 12. • This book is not my final product! This is just my way of easily sharing it with family and friends! I plan to edit and get published someday. Feedback and thoughts are appreciated, positive or negative! I will go back and edit/change things. • For more information on the Multimagical Series, check my bio! ☆☆☆Terminé

Blood IN SOIL
When twenty-two-year-old Zeke Taylor returns to the Bottom-a forgotten Black neighborhood steeped in poverty, pain, and silence-he only wants to keep his head down and protect his younger sister, Nova. But the land has other plans. Nova, quiet and strange since birth, begins having visions. Ghosts whisper in her ears. Names of the dead spill from her lips in sleep. Something buried deep beneath their town is rising... and it remembers everything. As Zeke digs into the Bottom's haunted history-police raids, vanished families, rituals soaked in blood-he uncovers a legacy of violence tied to their own bloodline. The siblings soon realize that the past was never truly buried. It was bound. Now, the spirits are restless. The town is cracking open. And Nova may be the only one who can guide them through it-if it doesn't destroy her first. A tale of generational trauma, ancestral power, and the fight to reclaim what was stolen, Blood in the Soil is a chilling, poetic journey into the heart of memory-where horror and healing walk hand in hand.Terminé

Sam's Weird: Homecoming
Sam's always known she was different. Her grandmother called it her gift. She called it her weird. She knew when bad things were going to happen before they did. She felt things that weren't there. She was visited by dead relatives in her dreams. But the creepiest part of it all was when she could see the ghosts. She spent the better part of her life blocking out the weird, and as a side effect, blocking off her feelings and ability to be close to people. Now she finds herself unable to keep her weird at bay. Her decision to move back home to help the people of the community she grew up in will have her facing more than just the things that go bump in the night. She will also have to face her own ghosts and her feelings toward the two unexpected men in her life. TW found in preface/author's note.
