Beams of shimmering magic blasted through the last two creatures - boom, boom - leaving a soft scent of roses in the air.
The courtyard fell silent.
But Malora still stood, untouched.
She raised her staff again. The green flame blazed high.
"You think I need shadowlings to stop you? You're playing dress-up with borrowed power."
"We're not borrowing anything," I said, stepping forward. "This power chose us."
Malora sneered. "Then let's see what you really are without it."
She hurled a blast of green magic toward me. I crossed my scepter in front of me, bracing-
But Kaitlyn jumped in and deflected it with her ribbon whip, spinning like a dancer.
"You're not hurting our girl," she snapped.
Miranda landed beside me. "We stand together."
A spark lit in my heart - our magic humming in sync.
I raised my scepter high.
"Princess Strike!" I shouted.
All three of us glowed - my golden sand and petals, Miranda's rose-light, and Kaitlyn's icy sparkle combining into a wave of pure energy.
It slammed into Malora like a tidal wave.
She screamed - not in pain, but in frustration - before vanishing into smoke, her staff clattering to the courtyard stones.
The silence afterward was heavy.
Then Kaitlyn exhaled. "Okay. That was intense."
I nodded, chest still rising and falling. "What... what was she doing out here?"
Miranda knelt by the spot where Malora vanished and picked up a scorched piece of parchment left behind.
Her eyes narrowed. "This isn't over."

Courage Comes From Lies
There's nothing worse than deception. To know your world isn't as safe as you expected it to be. To realize you're absolutely useless when it matters. To understand your best friend has kept a secret that would make or break you. Tara Koldem's entire life was just taken from her right in front of her. With no other choice, she's forced to leave behind everything. After a good night's rest, a new objective is in mind: find the person who stole everything from her and make them pay. With her new friend Devin by her side, nothing seems impossible. But when she realizes Devin kept a life changing secret from her, where does her judgment go from there? Sneak Peek: I tried to get up. But I couldn't feel any parts of my body. There was blood dripping from everywhere I looked. I could swear my leg was broken. Damn that troll was just tossing and throwing me around like I was a doll. Everything was silent except the ringing in my ears and the cheering and jeering of the audience above the commands of the queen to kill me. I could hear something else. A cry. A sobbing cry. I had enough strength left in my body to turn my head. And that's when all sense of pain left my body. I saw Devin with a blade to her neck next to the queen. She was crying out to me, "Please Tara just surrender! You'll die if you keep going! PLEASE!!!" She cried and begged me to stop but the queen silenced her. I tried to get to her but I couldn't get up. I sat there thinking to myself frantically "What do I do?! What do I do?!" She sounded so terrified. The Season Winter troll I was battling went to pick me up before its hand and head were sliced off in a split second. The audience went silent as I stood and glared at the Queen pointing my sword at her, its blade dripping the blood of my defeated opponent. The Guardian gave me the power surge I needed to force my way through the Queen's defenses, who she demanded subdue me. They were innocent, but stood in my way. So I had to cut them down.![Sleeping with the Lycan Heir [18+] [Book 1]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/388730348-256-k390681.jpg)

Liam Greyson, heir to the Greyson Pack's title, was notorious as a womaniser, but something about this human was different. He felt drawn to her, the call of fate, tugging their strings together. ============================================================================== "Let's get this off you," he murmured against her mouth, his voice a low growl that sent a bolt of desire through her. She nodded, her breath coming in shallow gasps as he began to lift the fabric over her head. The dress slid off, pooling around her waist. The cool air kissed her bare skin, and she felt more alive than she had in years. He pulled away to look at her, his eyes roving over her body with a hunger that was both terrifying and thrilling. "I want you," he said, his voice a rough whisper. The words seemed to hang in the air, charged with a power that made her tremble. His eyes burned with a need so intense it was almost painful to look at. Luna's heart pounded in her chest, but she didn't pull away. Instead, she reached behind her and unhooked her bra, letting it fall away. His gaze dropped to her breasts, and she watched as his pupils dilated, his grip on her hips tightening. "What's taking so long?" she teased, a hint of desperation in her voice. "Let's take this to the bedroom." Liam's eyes snapped back to hers, the human in him momentarily forgotten. "Are you sure?" His voice was hoarse with the effort of controlling his instincts. "Hell, I'm sure," Luna said, her voice steady. "I wouldn't be here if I didn't want you." --------- Hit 14k on 12/12/25 Hit Number 2 on WolComplete
A Poet's Secret
Being in love with your best friend isn't the ideal life situation but for Zora, it's her only life situation. Secretly harboring her feelings for her best friend, Sierra, Zora pours her emotions into her journal in the form of poetry. After years of keeping her attraction for her friend at bay and trying to deny her feelings by forcing herself to love a boy who unconditionally loves her, Zora's favorite emotional outlet becomes the cause of her life falling apart as the truth finally comes out. ***** It was happening again. It was dark, sunset, I waited for her to be done with volleyball practice 'because she was my ride'. Somehow we wandered from the gym to the football field and we were sitting at the very top of the bleachers staring at each other. Her dark hair mirrored the direction of the wind, the setting sun being replaced by the brightness of her smile. We were sitting so close I could feel her warmth. It was an unusual situation. Friends don't do this. We held eye contact for a long time before I couldn't take it anymore and just closed my eyes. It wasn't real, she was just my friend. Then, I felt her tuck a strand of my curly hair behind my ear. That with the chill of the night sent shivers down my spine and a swarm of butterflies attacked my stomach. I reopened my eyes. If she didn't want me, why did she look at me that way? I held her hand and I held it for so long because I didn't know if we'd have another moment like this. We talk and laugh and she tells me I'm pretty and I ask her if she'd just noticed that and we laugh again. I realize the feelings I felt in that moment were not just the intense feelings of attraction that I felt every time I was with her. Warmth flooded to my face and if it wasn't for my dark complexion, my blush would be noticeable. I look into her dark-colored eyes and I come to the conclusion that I'm royally fucked and I'm probably also in love.Complete
The Vintner's Sentinel
Marcus never meant to touch her. But the moment he did, something ancient and volatile took root. Reece is disciplined. She's powerful, both as a mage and as a mogul of the wine industry. Marcus is a *decommissioned* sentient weapon. He's emotionally guarded and barely holding himself together after being chewed up and spit out by the military and high magic commission. He isn't even supposed to feel magic, let alone siphon it from Reece and wield it like it's his own. In fact, he was carefully designed to avoid such a scenario. But when an accidental surge binds him and Reece together, it triggers something unprecedented, intimate, and dangerous. *Addictive* even. The government discarded Marcus, but now that he and Reece outclass even the most seasoned of mages and defy the current scientific understanding of how magic works - the feds want their weapon back. It started with an intoxicating spark. It ended with a sobering realization: the new pair can't be apart without unraveling. But being together might be worse. Because Marcus would do anything to safeguard her. War crimes included. And Reece might just let him.Complete
Bird Wings
Wren's life is about to change forever - but not how she expects it to. Kidnapped on her wedding day, she finds herself trapped in a mountain cave, unable to return home with no company outside of the inhuman creature that took her. *** "Wait, Wren! Not that way!" It was darker here and panic limited her vision, but she could see it reaching for her; its wings like two huge looming shadows behind it. "Get away! Don't touch me! No, let me go!" She shrieked. She screamed in earnest as a hand took hold of her arm, and then even more when her own hand reached for something to hang onto and grasped at empty air. She had been scrambling towards a sudden drop! The hands hauled her back, but she still struggled. She didn't want to look at it, and she still wasn't sure she wouldn't rather take her chances with the open air instead. "Stop it, I'm not going to hurt you! You'll hit your head on the rock or something. Wren, please!" It knew her name. Somehow it knew her. She was going to die! "Let me go! Stop touching me!" She was sitting on the rocky floor now with her back against an uneven wall, and it was trying to pin her down and hold her still. She kept her eyes turned away and struggled helplessly, but it was no use. It was strong like a human man too, and she couldn't keep it off of her. The wings had moved until they curved around them both and shut out a lot of the light. Its face was so near hers that she could feel its breath brushing against her skin. "Please just look at me for a second. Just look. I'm not going to hurt you." One of the hands grabbed her chin and forced her head to turn, and then she was looking straight into a pair of dark brown eyes. It had a human face too. She had been expecting something monstrous or ghastly, and the surprise made her falter for a moment. He looked young, with a bad haircut and an earnest expression on his face. "I'll let go of you, okay? Just don't lunge around like that anymore, you'll get hurt." He whispered.Complete
A Red Flag's Green Light (COMPLETED)
The rooftop scene played in slow motion in her eyes. Her boyfriend's hands wrapped around her best friend, their lips locked, their laughter echoing in the crisp morning air. Her heart didn't just break it turned to dust. The voices in her head chuckled darkly, whispering like shadows: "If you had chosen him... you wouldn't be in pain. He would never betray you. He has been watching, waiting... a red flag to the world, but to you... a green light." She staggered back, her breath trembling. "Who... who are you?" she whispered, pressing her hands to her ears. "We are your choices. Your paths. And the gangster who scares everyone? He would rather die than see you cry." The voices faded, but their words rooted in her chest. The next day in class, she could barely focus. Everyone knew her as the quiet girl who never caused trouble, but now her world tilted sideways. When she glanced at the back corner, she caught him staring Raven, the school's infamous gangster. He leaned against his chair lazily, tattoos peeking from under his sleeve, but his eyes those sharp, storm colored eyes softened the moment they met hers. She quickly looked away, cheeks burning. At lunch, she found her seat empty. Her supposed best friend didn't sit beside her anymore. Her ex avoided her completely, as if she was the one at fault. She tried to eat, but her throat closed up. Then a tray slammed down across from her. "You're not eating," Raven muttered, sitting down uninvited. Her eyes widened. "Why are you-" "Because you look like hell," he cut in. "And because I told myself if I ever see you cry over someone who isn't me, I'll make them regret it." Her stomach knotted. Was he joking? Threatening? Or... protecting? Before she could answer, the voices whispered again-only she could hear them: "See? He burns for you. Dangerous to others, safe for you. Don't push him away..."Complete
Binding Before War
Samuel left the magical world when he was a child, refusing to return to tyrannical Church that leads his fellow harrolds. Naomi has lead the magical world since she was a child, a matriarchal leader for dragons, a race run by family hierarchies. Their paths never should have crossed, and when they do, it's immediately too late. How can a bond be formed when their lives are at odds? - *Samuel Vera* "It's this woman," I said, shocking both Ben and Bale. "She's-" I laughed to myself, relaxing as I spoke about her. "-She's actually always so mad at me, and she's fucking terrifying but she's also so distracting." My tone lowered down to a groan as I finish, "I didn't even have a meeting today, they canceled it, I just couldn't focus grading these multiplication tables." "Has a mere mortal managed to catch the eye of the great and powerful Samuel Vera?" Ben teased, sounding awed and offended, an act as he once more made me regret telling him who I was. Next time, don't tell friends you're a magical being, got it... "Shut up, Ben," Bale said, though he was grinning at the tease nonetheless. "Sam is never going to bring girls over if you're so... 'Funny'." "I beg to differ," Ben said. "My teasing creates an air of informality that comforts many people. You, for example, have always been drawn to my open and honest personality." "Always is a bit of a stretch-" "-And, you know what? She would probably actually punch me," I said. I hadn't stopped talking about Naomi, going through our five minutes of history as Ben and Bale bickered as couples do. "Even if she knew, I don't think she'd care, most women, they're so..." "Non-violent?" Bale said, sounding as if he were worried for my sanity, "Unlikely to attack you?" "Now now Bale," Ben said. "Sam likes a bit of action in his life, he's a wild child." *** Trigger Warnings: N/A- If you find something I have overlooked (which may happen, I've read this book a million times) please let me know and I will update!Complete

But still she held her head high and proceeded to walk past him without a word. He was growing frustrated as she walked past him without a word. He roughly grabbed her arm and pulled her into the hall, away from the crowd. His hands subconsciously trailed her body. They traced her hips and her thighs, they roamed over her butt and he squeezed it, knowing she would like that. She moaned and leaned into his arm, gripping him tightly. She couldn't help it, she hadn't seen him in what felt like so long. "Stop. You're- You're betrothed Philip. To someone else!" She said breathlessly trying to be mad at him as he trailed his fingers under her dress. "You silly girl," He smirked as he roughly grabbed her wet cunt and she gasped. "I'm betrothed to you."
