The Cursed Witch
It has been ages since the Witch started to look after the villagers. With all her years on Earth, with her unchanging face and arthritis problem, she thinks about the villagers before herself...

It's a curse. She can't leave this place. Her soul is embedded in this house. And she will die if she quits it for too long. "Don't rummage through the past. Don't you dare disobey the curse." Fine.

At first sight, the tiny Foggy Island promises Liam an uneventful summer, with the haunting prospect of starting a new school at the end of it.

Until I felt nothing at all." Eira Gellert's world comes crumbling down as her sister is forced to leave for the army.

Copyrighted 2020 **Book 1 in the Darkness Series!** **Completed!** *Under construction* There was a creature locked away miles beneath the stone streets of Deshua, Oregon. A monster with the body of a man, jet black eyes of a soulless demon, and even darker feather wings cascading from its back.

Forced asleep by a council who believed in the greater good, many revered the monster. Yet the town's eternal population was torn in two. Half awaited the day for the foretold cursed soul to come and resurrect their lord and the other half feared it just as much. And guess who got to be that lucky bitch. *No love triangle* -&- **WARNING** This book WILL have mature, adult content! Please be aware of this before reading.

A Beastman Story
How would you feel if you found yourself in a different place with no memory of how you got there? Well that happened to me and this is my story. Hi, My name is Genisis and I am 23 years old, I was walking from my car into my house and..... well that is the last thing I remember before finding myself in a huge forest. Dang, I am so lost, the only things I had on me were the clothes I had on and my duffle bag with my emergency stuff, you know like extra clothes, a flashlight, some granola bars, four or five water bottles and an emergency kit with bandaids, alcohol wipes, antibacterial gel, and that antibiotic ointment. Oh yeah and my purse, that had my phone!! With no signal, and 911 not working, Just freaking GREAT! Read on to find out what happens Thanks for giving me your time and thoughts. Oh and I got inspiration from the beauty and the beasts stories but the characters and plot are my own, I love the idea of the Beastman stories and decided to do a fanfic with my own characters and plot. Any pictures are from my own collection. Thanks for reading froggy friends! Also updates will be sporadic and I apologize for that right now. All pictures are from various apps, they were downloaded by me but they belong to the apps they came from. Also I am editing and writing all at once but fair warning there will be mistakes and I will do my very best to correct them, Plot holes, spelling and grammar mistakes abound but it is only the third book I have ever written so please give me mercy and enjoy! This is a very fast paced romance reverse harem, I also purposely did not give character descriptions , I wanted the reader to imagine my characters however they wanted. I hope everyone enjoys my take on the beastworld. Please note that this a very rough draft and I will be working on it for the foreseeable future, chapters may be taken down frequently.Complete
The Island Curse
[Complete] Isla Halloran has dreamed of visiting her father's birthplace, Merrow Island, since she was a child. Her grandfather would fill her head with stories of its beauty and legends: emerald pastures, blue seas, and cliffs that stretched into the sky. She vowed she'd visit one day. She just didn't know that one day would be her junior year of high school, or that the visit would be permanent. Angry with the turn of events, she struggles to find any of the magic her grandfather had described. That is until she meets Kieran Murphy and his friends. Dreamy, dark, and just a bit dangerous, Kieran reveals the hidden wonders of the Island. Wonders that include magic, myths, and a curse. A curse, that for over three centuries, has bound every islander. And now she knows...coming to Merrow Island was never going to be her choice. Her fate was sealed at the moment of her birth. Because she's the key to breaking the curse, and they'll do whatever it takes to keep her there so they can finally be free.Complete

❝ Let's find you a new home, shall we? ❞ •○• A cold Shifter General. A bloodthirsty Vampire Prince. A powerful Fae King. A mysterious protective werewolf Alpha. And a human girl. The question was - why were the strings of fate bringing them together? •○• 18 year old, sharp and vigilant Cara Arnel was one step away from slavery freedom and being sold. And being caught by the Shifter General of the Vampire Army was most certainly not a part of that plan. Nor was becoming a scullery maid or an assaulted slave in the Royal Palace instead of a blood bag or sex slave. But that was when things started to change. Tensions became high and fights broke out in the unstable supernatural world with the return of Lucifer's son: Killian after more than four centuries. Her visions started again. And a bit too many supernatural males were willing to protect her for no reason whatsoever. Turns out, Cara might not be as insignificant as she thought. Yet, she was undoubtedly human. And it seemed, she wasn't as well informed of her past as she thought. If her memories were the ones to be relied upon. At least.......the ones she had of this life. •○• Shortlisted for Wattpad India Awards 2021 (Please don't copy the story line. It's all mine. A figment of my imagination.
