Cursed to become a creature born of blood and fury, Vale Evermere was trained to hunt witches and purge the sin her ancestors left behind. Every order she follows keeps the curse dormant; every doubt feeds the monster inside. But when her latest mission leads her to Hermione Granger-a brilliant witch hiding behind Ministry lies-the line between duty and desire begins to break. Drawn to the very magic she was created to destroy, Vale must choose between the oath that binds her and the woman who makes her feel human. Love may be the only thing strong enough to silence the beast... or awaken it completely.

The Cursed Prince
In a kingdom where curses are more than mere fairy tales, an ancient castle stands hidden behind walls of dark thorns, forgotten by all but the bravest and the most foolish. For within those shadowed halls slumbers a prince cursed by his own heart's betrayal. Once a ruler feared for his power and beauty, he now lies in a spellbound sleep, imprisoned by a vengeful sorceress who demanded a price for his cruelty: eternal rest, unless someone awakens him and binds their fate to his. Mira has never believed in fairy tales. Life in her village is one of harsh reality, where survival depends on wit and willpower. But when her family's future hangs in the balance, she's driven to the one place her people have always feared. Rumors of a sleeping prince and a curse that can be broken are all she has to go on, yet desperation leaves her no choice. But awakening the prince sets a far greater plan in motion, and the darkness she thought she'd face is only the beginning. Now, bound to a prince whose shadows dance with danger and desire, Mira must learn to navigate a world of magic, betrayal, and a fate that pulls them both toward something neither can escape. The only question is, who will break first-the girl with fire in her veins or the prince whose heart has long since turned to stone?Complete

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.

Now, Kornnaphat must learn how to live again-and hide her secret from the village while living as a "relative" of Ling's. As they live and bake and rebuild, romantic feelings bloom. But shadows stir.

The Thorns Remember
In the cursed kingdom of Valera, every lie grows a rose. Every truth draws blood. Centuries ago, the goddess of Truth punished mankind for its deceit. Now, thorns bloom from every falsehood spoken, marking skin with petals and pain. The people of Valera have learned to survive by weaving their words carefully-or dying beneath the weight of their own dishonesty. Primrose Vale has never been careful. A liar, a thief, and a survivor, she's made a living deceiving the dying remnants of the world. Her body bears the scars of her lies-silvered vines winding her wrists and throat like jewelry forged from sin. When a heist in the ruined Temple of Truth goes wrong, she's caught by Sir Kael Arden, the Queen's relentless knight-a man bound by faith, secrets, and his own haunted past. Chained by a spell that silences her deceit, Primrose is dragged across a broken land to face judgment. But when Kael discovers that her lies might be the key to ending the goddess's curse, their paths tangle in ways neither expected. As they hunt for the mythical Heart of the Thorn, the lines between truth and falsehood blur-and something dangerous begins to grow between them. In a world where honesty can kill and deceit can heal, love itself might be the deadliest lie of all.
White Lies
"You can't take all of us, sweetheart." Valen's voice is smooth, teasing, but the way his fingers brush against my hip isn't playful. It's testing. Behind me, Fennec chuckles, his breath warm as he leans in, his lips barely ghosting the shell of my ear. "She could try." His voice dips lower, dragging heat down my spine. "I'd love to watch her try." ------------------------------- Soraya Cordova was never meant to survive.

And trapped in a dangerous game of love, loyalty, and lies with the only people who have ever mattered. Because in their world, trust is a weapon. Not all love stories are gentle. Some are jagged at the edges, built on shadows and sins, tangled in pasts too dark to escape. White Lies is one of those stories. It's about the things we do to survive, the lies we tell to protect, and the love that thrives even in the darkest corners. Read at your own risk.Complete
VHYRION
VHYRION (Book 1 ) The Cursed King of Valenzia They say the King of Valenzia was forged, not born. That his crown was carved from the bones of those who betrayed him. That his voice is made of smoke and ice, and his touch leaves men in ash. That his name-Vhyrion-should never be spoken in the dark, for fear he might hear it. And yet he hears everything. Bound by a curse older than the stars, Vhyrion is no longer mortal. Not quite god. Not fully beast. His realm kneels in silence, and his enemies vanish without a trace. He rules not through mercy, but fear. His court is made of shadows. His throne bleeds power. But the curse comes with a cost. He feels nothing. Craves nothing. Not warmth. Not touch. Not love. Until her. She stumbled through a broken seal. Mortal. Glowing. Fragrant with a scent that does not belong to Earth or Eldros or any realm that should exist. And when the wind carries her presence into his court? He stops breathing. Because her scent-soft bloom, sacred fire, forbidden sweetness-tames him. It makes the storm inside him still. The curse tremble. The hunger awaken. Dinah. A girl too human to survive his world. Too divine to belong anywhere else. She doesn't know she's marked by the Bloom of Valenzia-the very force his curse was built to suppress. She doesn't know every realm will hunt her. She doesn't know that just by standing in his presence, she is unraveling the chains of the beast he barely contains. And Vhyrion-the King who once vowed to never feel again-feels too much. Desire. Rage. Obsession. The mating pull awakens. The seal cracks. And the cursed King of Valenzia is ready to destroy every realm just to touch the one thing the gods never meant him to have. Her.Complete
Vampire's Pet
The world had gone to hell long ago, taken over by the vampire race. In order to keep some sort of peace in our land, the Vampire Lords made a consecutive agreement. The rich and powerful humans could survive just as they had been, untouched by the vampires save for the occasional blood collections, or so they thought In reality, we were all under their control. Castles spread out throughout our land, one landing in each city. Each castle varied in the number of vampires residing there, but all of them carried a Lord. The Lords were the ones in charge in every city, whether we liked it or not. The vampires often roam through the city, making sure that everyone was in order and no one stepped out of line. If you stepped out of line, you died, end of story. Even if the rich were still under their control, their lives were still better than the poor. The poorest lives held a much worse fate. The men were to be put to work as slaves, whether that meant serving a specific vampire, or just building their castles, they were slaves. The women were to be pets. Pets were the lowest rank you could have. They were forced into cages that were too small to stand in with collars around their necks. They spent their lives in pet shops, just waiting for the dreadful day that they'll be bought. They were treated like animals, trained into what their master wanted, and punished if they misbehaved. Those who were lucky enough to live through that, we're to be slaughtered for their blood at age twenty-five in an act to make sure that our population would stay steady. I was born into this world. Born into this world full of blood-sucking monsters. Except, I was one of the lucky ones. Was. It all ended for me when I was 12, when I was taken away from the last bit of hope and family that I had left. Ever since then, I've lived in a cage, just rotting away, waiting, dreading for the day that some monster would make me his. This is my life. I am a pet. ~~~ Cover by: @mshacakeComplete
