They didn't grow up.
They survived.
A child beaten until his bones learned obedience.
A prince taught that blood is safer than love.
A sea-born heir who learned too early how many lives a crown can drown.
And a silver-haired boy whose body was carved open for power, magic ripped from his veins until even his screams were studied.
Book Two descends into the brutality that created them. Into cages, scars, blood-soaked rituals, and childhoods stripped down to instinct and endurance. Phoenix remembers drowning on land. Aldric remembers the first time he begged. Darius remembers the moment his heart was buried alive beneath duty. Orion remembers the day the ocean stopped feeling like home.
Now, in the present, those memories are waking up.
Nightmares turn physical. Magic turns violent. Love becomes terrifying because it demands vulnerability. And the bond between them-born from shared ruin-threatens to either heal what was broken...
Or shatter what is barely holding together.
This is a story of trauma, power, possession, and survival.
This is not a love story for the unscarred.

My Overprotective Brothers
For my entire life my older brothers have treated me like I am a fragile baby and they still do. Some of it is for their amusement and some of it is because they are just way too overprotective. There are five of them and one of me, not to mention they are all older, so there isn't much I can do about any of it. Elijah is my oldest brother at 22 and my second oldest brother Easton who is 20. My third oldest brother is Henry and is in his second year of college. Alexander, who goes by Alex, is 15 minutes older than his twin Miles and they are both 17 and are in their first year of college. Then finally I am 15, the youngest brother and am in high school in year 10. My Brothers are super overprotective and treat me like I am a small child and It does not help that I look like I am 12 and am super short. I've got this messy dark brown hair that never cooperates, along with these big brown eyes that seem to make me look even younger. Which does not help my case for my brothers to treat me like I am older. Then my parents are super rich and constantly working so I only see them on holidays so my brothers have raised me. This is my life as the younger brother of 5 brothers. Highest Ratings: #3 Teasing #156 Humor #28 Overprotective #17 Olderbrothers #11 Pranks #36 Brothers #242 GayComplete

Part of Them
Faer had been on the run for 129 years. Stuck in the body of a seven year old and weak vampire boy, he had been hiding from his controlling brothers while unsuccessfully trying to live a fairly peaceful life. As he was forced to travel around abandoned places to remain unnoticed he made the mistake of staying in one town for too long. The brothers chased Faer down and captured him yet again. Follow along on the mature boy's journey and watch the story's twist develop. To what degree will the strange brothers manipulate the boy to bend him to their will? Prepare for a story with mature and dark themes, but also a lot of fluff! Teaser: Peeking up at Grimm through my eyelashes and throwing on that puppy look of mine which I had practiced to perfection a couple years ago, I noticed Grimm's and the others expressions soften a tad bit, but it still didn't look as though this helped me much. "Look, Faer. We are on your side. We aren't trying to make your life as unpleasant for you as possible, but as safe as possible. I hope you understand our point in this," spoke Rosen, folding his slightly trembling hands in front of his chest. "I understand where you guys are coming from, but the way you try to," I put my hands up to make quotation marks with my fingers, "protect me, is just plain wrong. You can't force a person to stay with you if they don't want to, you know? In fact, it's illegal," I stated simply. At this, I heard chuckling from around me. "You're cute when you get angry," Rei said. "But I'm afraid you don't have a say in anything here. You do what you're told, and if you don't, we make you do what you're told," he continued with a smile on his face. ~~ Will Faer be able to escape his strange brothers, who try to hide him away from the world? Or will he learn to just live with it? It sure is going to be hard for him, because there's a lot of secrets about him and the others left to discover.Complete
Brayden
Pack destroyed. Father dead, mother dead, sister dead. Little Brayden is left alone. If it weren't for the teenage Alpha that finds him and takes him in. Story excerpt As I run past the man I feel his arms take hold of me pinning me to him as he picks me up. "Let go of me! My father will kill you!" I scream. I kick at him but he holds me tightly. "He's the Alpha!" The man kneels down and I feel my feet touch earth. He continues to hold me tight. Eventually he loosens his grip not enough to free me just enough that he can look me in the eye. "Your father is gone." The man tells me. "No!" I yell at him. I swing as hard as I can punching the man in the chest. "I don't believe you!" I didn't see Daddy but he is a strong wolf! An Alpha! No way he is dead! I feel the tears run down my face as I look around. Fire, rubble, and death... everyone is gone. I fall into the man sobbing. I can't fight any more. My pack is dead. The man picks me up again carrying me to his car. "What's your name little guy?" He asks. I have a hard time making words through my tears. "B... Bray... Brayden." I stammer gripping his shirt. "Hello Brayden... I'm Alpha Aaron... I'm gonna take care of you." He says. This is backstory for Brayden from my book Alpha Lilly. This story runs from before Alpha Lilly until part way through Orphan Wolf so spoilers are certain for those books. I'd suggest reading them first but you don't have to. This is NOT BxB... a lot of people seem to think that but it's not. Don't want you guys to be mislead.Complete

"Two hundred thousand gold coins and the cursed blade of Selverin!" a high-ranking vampire lord declared, his red eyes gleaming with hunger. "Four hundred thousand gold and a siren's heart," a mermaid duchess countered, her black-scaled tail flicking in irritation. "A million gold, and my entire estate in the Shadowlands!" a fae lord sneered, eyes flashing with power. But it was all for nothing. At the very top of the auction hall, beyond the reach of the common bidders, sat the true rulers of the supernatural world. A private royal chamber loomed over the hall, separated by thick glass enchanted with dark magic. Inside, three powerful figures observed the auction in silence, untouched by the chaos below. They were kings. The rulers of the night. And they had already decided the outcome. At the center sat King Aldric Vaugn, the Alpha of all werewolves. To Aldric's right lounged King Darius Velmont, the ruler of vampires. And to Aldric's left, reclining with an almost bored expression, was King Orion Thalassar, the sea's sovereign. Aldric leaned forward, his voice like rolling thunder. "Three million gold." Darius merely chuckled, setting his goblet aside. "Gold is a fleeting currency, my friend. Let's make this more... enticing." He turned his gaze to the auctioneer. "Ten million gold. And the Bloodstone of Evermore." Orion sighed dramatically. "You two and your gold. It's so boring." He sat up, stretching lazily before giving a slow, knowing smirk. "How about an entire kingdom?" The entire hall froze.Complete
