Every soul bound by love must pay its price - some with memories, others with their lives.
THE GREEN THREAD
"We were never meant to last. We were meant to burn. And call it love."
Between dream and reality lies a fragile thread - green, alive, and unbreakable - binding two souls fated to meet yet destined to fracture.
Lyra Elor has always lived between worlds - too soft for reality, too real for her dreams. Every time she closes her eyes, she sees him: Aren Larsen, a man both impossibly near and heartbreakingly unreachable. In those dreams, their hands are tied by a thread that tightens with every stolen heartbeat, every whispered word, every touch that burns like fire.
But love in this realm isn't gentle. It's costly. Every time Aren reaches for her, Lyra loses a piece of herself - a memory, a heartbeat, a fragment of life - yet neither of them can let go.
As the green thread pulses through them, reality begins to blur. Dreams bleed into waking life, shadows twist into desire, and the line between obsession and salvation grows thinner. With Eira, her steadfast friend; Finn, the fool hiding dangerous wisdom; and Aren, the man who would tear worlds apart just to keep her near, Lyra must uncover the secret behind the thread - and the price of a love that defies time itself.
Because some loves aren't meant to save you. They're meant to unmake you - softly, completely... and forever ♡
I wanted to write about the world we touch when we close our eyes - where love isn't real, but it still hurts like it is...

Wake: Whispers from the Underland
After a devastating breakup, Lyra finds herself lost, both emotionally and physically, wandering through a dark and mysterious realm known as the Underland. In this haunting place where shadows stretch endlessly and time slips away, Lyra is consumed by her grief and confusion, unable to find her way back to the world she once knew. In the depths of the Underland, Lyra meets Damien, a seemingly perfect guide who promises to heal her broken heart. With his gentle words and comforting presence, Damien convinces Lira that he can help her move on from her past and restore her peace. But as Lyra's trust in him grows and love starts to blossom, so does her unease. Something about Damien doesn't feel right. His kindness seems too perfect, his offers of solace too convenient, and soon she begins to suspect that the Underland-and Damien himself-are not what they appear to be. As Lyra delves deeper into the twisted and deceptive landscape of the Underland, she learns the terrifying truth: the realm thrives on the souls of those who are lost and broken, offering false healing in exchange for their soul. To escape before the Underland consumes her soul, Lyra must confront her deepest pain, face the emotional scars she's been running from, and discover the strength to heal from within. But Damien, now revealed to be a sinister force in the Underland, will stop at nothing to keep her trapped in his false embrace. In a race against time, Lyra must break free from Damien's manipulative grip and find a way to reclaim her heart before it's too late. The only question that remains: can she heal in time to save herself, or will the Underland claim her soul forever?Complete

𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐘 𝐃𝐄𝐕𝐈𝐋, Descendants 3 ✓
In the enchanting world of Lyra Shadowdusk, nothing came easily. Life had taught her valuable lessons, and she had learned them the hard way. Concealing her true identity from her closest friends was a necessity, a secret burden she carried in the depths of her being. Each day, she wore a mask of normalcy, carefully guarding the truth that lay dormant within her. But the battle within her heart was the true test. Lyra's emotions waged a relentless war, their intensity echoing through the very fibers of her being. She yearned for connection, for the solace of companionship. Yet, the weight of her hidden identity, like an anchor, held her back. Every step forward was a delicate dance between longing and restraint, leaving her heart tangled in a web of conflicting desires. And so, with a heavy heart, Lyra chose to depart. She ventured into the great unknown, seeking respite from the whirlwind of emotions that threatened to consume her. Years passed, the hands of time unforgiving in their steady march. And yet, even in the midst of her journey, she discovered that escaping the clutches of the past was an illusion, a fleeting hope born from desperate yearning. The realization struck her like a bolt of lightning, illuminating the darkest corners of her soul. One could not simply run from their past; it clung to them, like a haunting melody that refused to fade away. The scars of yesterday remained etched upon her spirit, demanding acknowledgment and resolution. Lyra had no choice but to face her history, to confront the shadows that whispered hauntingly in her wake. And thus, the hardest chapter of her life unfolded before her. It required courage beyond measure, a tenacity to unearth buried secrets and confront the demons that had long held sway over her existence.Complete
Heir to the Hollow
They say the Hollow is dead. But that's a lie. It breathes-slow and hungry-waiting beneath the earth for the ones it marked long ago. Here, trees bleed memories, shadows whisper names that were never spoken, and the wind hums lullabies only the cursed can hear. Ash was born of this darkness. Forged in it. Feared by it. A ruthless heir to something ancient, something twisted. The world calls him a monster-but monsters don't bleed the way he does. And Eira... she was never meant to find him. She should have died the moment she stepped into the Hollow. But the forest let her through. It wanted her. It whispered to her in dreams. Showed her lives she never lived. And now the Hollow is waking... because she carries something it remembers. Something it lost. An army of serpent-eyed creatures begins to stir beneath the ruined soil. A forgotten queen sharpens her claws from the other side of time. And secrets buried in blood and fire are clawing their way back to the surface. But not everything that returns wants to be found. And not every soul that loves you is trying to save you. Some are just waiting... for you to fall.Complete!["𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞" [ BOOK - 1 ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/394887789-256-k403548.jpg)
"𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞" [ BOOK - 1 ]
Lyra Ainsley is just a regular college student or at least, that's what she thought. Since she was ten years old, she's been having the same strange dreams over and over again. In them, she sees two people: one is a king, and the other is a warrior. But it's always the king who stands out. She dreams of dancing with him, talking with him, feeling completely safe by his side. For years, Lyra convinced herself it was all just her imagination. That is, until she started college and saw him. The king from her dreams. He was real. His name? Adrian Caellum Virell. A fellow student at her university. From that moment, her world turned upside down. She realized those dreams weren't just dreams. They were memories. Pieces of something real. Something from the past. But then... there's the warrior. The one she barely remembers. His face never appeared clearly, and his presence in her dreams was always quick, like a whisper. Unlike the king, she doesn't feel the need to search for him. Maybe because he's still a stranger in her mind. Will she ever meet the warrior in real life? Or will she let him go, and stay with the king who feels so familiar? Why is she even having these dreams in the first place? Is it truly her past she's remembering or something her heart made up to fill a void? And if it is her past... what really happened back then? What's the reason she's seeing it all now? She doesn't know yet. But soon, she will.Complete
Devotion And wrath
Phase 1 - The Core Story From the Author of "Devotion and Wrath" Every author has that one story-the one that doesn't let them sleep, the one that claws at their soul until it's written. For me, Devotion and Wrath is that story. This is not just ink on pages. This is blood, memory, obsession, and redemption. It's a symphony composed in silence and storms. And at its center: Zyran and Noor-two names that now live in every corner of my imagination. Zyran was never meant to be a hero. He was forged in fire, trained in control, designed for destruction. Noor, on the other hand, was the light he never expected, the softness that made him bleed, the voice that shattered years of silence within him. Their story is layered with betrayal, fierce longing, unhealed wounds, and love so consuming it often feels indistinguishable from wrath. This is not a love story. This is a survival story wrapped in obsession. This is Devotion and Wrath. In Phase 1, you'll find the raw, messy, aching truths behind Zyran and Noor's journey. You'll watch them fight-each other, themselves, and the past that refuses to die. And through every confrontation, every stolen moment, every sharp word and trembling silence, you'll feel how devotion can become the sharpest blade... and wrath, the deepest proof of love. But even as I tell their story, I must admit: another story has begun to rise from the shadows.Complete
Veiled in Light and Ruin
Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.
LET ME HATE YOU
A marriage neither wanted. A hatred neither understands. Two strangers tied by a past that stains everything between them. He never wanted a wife. Especially not her. Cold, distant, and poisoned by assumptions, Amaan enters the forced marriage with one intention- to keep his distance and keep his resentment alive. Asmaira enters with something far heavier- guilt. Not to protect him. Not to save him. But because she knows the truth of what happened... and she cannot bear to confess it. They have never met. But the moment they do, the air turns sharp- full of tension, unspoken accusations, and the kind of hate that feels too much like longing. He despises her for a sin she never committed. She punishes herself for a sin she never confessed. And marriage turns into a battleground where silence is a weapon... and closeness is a threat. In this house, love is impossible. Trust is deadly. But hatred? Hatred is the only thing keeping them alive.
Prescient
When dreams stop being dreams, things get confusing. Anna is back - back in a place she once thought was just a product of her imagination. The silvery locks, bluish-grey eyes, and the pointed ears prove that much. Her dreams were memories. The same memories that led up to her death... well, her first death, before she slipped through a crack in the Halls of Mandos. Ash, blood, and fire haunt her, the sounds of a dying, burning city echoing in her head whenever she tries to rest. Coming back from death is never easy. Death leaves scars on one's very soul, but who better to heal those wounds than the company of her kin? There's only one problem. Returning to her kin in Arda means facing the elf she sacrificed her life for. The one whose heart she broke all those years ago. But she doesn't have an option to stay away. Every day the call of the sea grows stronger for him, and it's not his time just yet. He is their emissary, and it's time they finally gave something back. Even if that something happens to be the love he's convinced he lost years ago.

Her Name Was Magic
She was born from prophecy. She fell in love with a girl who wasn't in it. Eira was meant to save the realm or destroy it-depending on who you asked. Bound to a forgotten star, hunted by nobles, and feared by her own coven, she was trained to lead but never taught to feel. Then came Lyra: wild-hearted, vine-blooded, and utterly untouchable. A warrior with secrets of her own and eyes that made Eira forget every rule she'd ever followed. As rebellion brews and ancient magic stirs beneath the city, love might be their greatest power-or the thing that unravels them both. Witches. Queerness. Betrayal. Magic that blooms and burns. If the world ends, it'll be because Eira loved her anyway.Complete
