**** In the vast expanse of the Stellaris Galaxy, two colonized worlds, the Empire of Orcus and the Kingdom of Chīmera, find themselves in an unexpected situation. Once bitter enemies, they are now compelled to set aside their differences and form an alliance. This alliance is to be solidified through a joint mission, bringing together a medical ship provided by the Chīmerians and a Guardian Battleship provided by the Orcusians. Additionally, each leading family will send a representative to participate in this endeavor.
Among those chosen to partake in this joint mission is Bridget Thindrell, a young and highly skilled doctor. Bridget is tasked with leading the medical team aboard the hospital ship Tiamat. Her responsibilities include overseeing the health and well-being of both crews as she moves between ships.
However, Bridget's role on this mission takes an unexpected turn when she encounters the captain of the Battle Cruiser, the Mercenary Prince. Despite his infuriatingly beautiful yet annoyingly rude demeanor, Bridget finds herself oddly drawn to him. In his presence, she inexplicably feels a sense of safety she hadn't anticipated.
On the other side of the equation, we have Captain Adrian Antares Iroas, the fifth prince of Orcus and a highly respected captain. Assigned as the commander of the Titania, Adrian is no stranger to combat, having experienced it firsthand. Like many of his crew members, he is a seasoned mercenary with a dark past and a few dangerous secrets.
To complicate matters further, an enigmatic figure known as 'The Duke' resurfaces, commanding an elite unit from the Galactic Vanguard Guild. His true identity remains shrouded in secrecy. Bridget finds herself caught between the powerful and alluring Captain Iroas and the mighty yet mysterious Elite. She must make a decision that will shape her destiny: to either become a political figurehead alongside the princely captain or stand steadfastly by the side of the far more dangerous Elite.

Word Count: 105,000 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ He turned slowly back, dreary eyes meeting mine. The towering man was nearly seven feet tall and all bulging muscles. His hair was dark and cut long skimming his smooth angled jaw. Brows watching me with the same intensity as I was watching him. Very lovely rich tan color. Shirtless and barefoot, but wearing simple leather pants, with some kind of pack hanging to his hip. Stomach raw with some deep gash and body littered with cuts. The entire picture of him was genuinely mouthwateringly handsome, but with the dagger still held in one hand entirely too deadly. "Stay right there Dothraki!" I called, my rifle finally having something in the crosshairs again. I'd never watched the popular show, but the videos I saw sure had him looking like he could play one of the built characters. The dagger dropped to the ground and he fell to a single knee after it, though he didn't bend to pick it up. He bent to ...bow? His head stayed inclined as he bent and spoke. His voice was smooth and husky, deep and baritone. Exceptionally beautiful.

The Shadows of Erisdar: Whispers of the Past
She has no past. No wolf. No scent. And now-no choice. When a young seemingly alpha wolf is found unconscious at the edge of Boronduin territory, the pack knows something is deeply wrong. Pursued by savage wolves, shifted into wolf form far too early, the girl remembers nothing of who she is or where she came from-only that she's drawn to the silent forest that seals off the rest of Erisdar Valley, where no one dares to go. Years later, Alexandra-now the adopted daughter of the Alpha pair-is the only remaining heir after their son mysteriously vanished near the wall of trees in the feared Erisdar forest. But without a wolf of her own, she is not an elligible heir, to her relief. When a foreign pack arrives with a mate claim designed to seize her hand-and through it, her homeland-Alex senses a deeper plot at play. Her parents, strangely unlike themselves, refuse to listen. Controlled by magic she cannot yet break, they leave her with only one option: remove the key to the enemies plot - herself. But as she makes her desperate bid for freedom, she is intercepted-first by those who would control her, then by something far more dangerous. From the shadows of the ancient forest, a dark legend comes to life: a silent beast cloaked in mystery, known only in whispers and fear. When her friends are struck down trying to protect her, Alex does the unthinkable-she surrenders to the creature to save them. Taken beyond the valley and into unknown lands, Alex finds herself deep in enemy territory where myths breathe, shadows speak, and truths long buried begin to rise. As she uncovers secrets about the forest, the beast who took her, and even herself, something ancient stirs within her-something powerful and long-silenced. But peace cannot last. Her forgotten past is catching up to her-and with it, a destiny that could shape the fate of her beloved valley, her pack, and her new family.Complete

My name is Violet Mercer. When I was about 4, I watched my parents die. A few weeks later, I was branded and shipped off with a bunch of other kids to my new fate, to train and learn for 10 years until I was sold to someone else as a slave. Brutal beginning? Yeah. But it's the truth. See, here's the thing. A few years back--maybe a little under 50--we humans did something stupid. It was part of an experiment called G42 by some genetics company that was trying to speed up evolution. What did they do? Well, they altered specific genetic strands to see if they could create a sort of super-human. Their answer? Yes. But there was a flaw in their plan. These new 'evolved' humans, or 'evos', were everything they could have hoped for--strong, and fast, and smart. Practically immortal, too, so what was the problem? They were born without emotions. Maybe this doesn't sound too bad to you, but our emotions? They're what make us human. What happened next was kinda inevitable: the Evos took over. There are two strands of DNA--get one, and your set for life. Get the other, good luck living to see past your sweet sixteen. And if you are one of the crazy (or brave, depending on who you ask) people who dares to bring a child into this world, you could give them the best, longest life ever, or doom them to an early death after a suckish life. So, yeah. Our world is screwed up. And we can't go to G42 for a solution, because as soon as the Evos realized the possibilities, they slaughtered everyone who might know something and blew up the facility. Now, dear reader, are you beginning to understand the use of emotions? This is my story. I still don't know how it ends, whether it was all for better or worse. But you're here. So go ahead and read. Maybe we'll both learn a little something. Welcome to my life. I hope you survive in this new world. By Earthstone #567 in Teen Fic on 6/17/2016Complete

Light of the Broken Tongue (Scentmarked #3)
Until now, magic has been elemental-fire and lightning, ice and sound. But some power is not wielded. It is spoken. Light of the Broken Tongue draws back the veil on the Fey Kingdom, the living language of Syvareth, and the girl whose birth may change the balance of the world. Through Lumiriel, truths long buried begin to surface-about lost voices, fractured histories, and the price of silence. What became of the four fey who escaped captivity-and what will happen when their stories are finally heard? As the stars shift overhead, the dragons of the Luminous Grove emerge from centuries of isolation. Bound to fate and guided by constellations older than kingdoms, they watch, they wait, and they know more than they are willing to say-especially Altairix, a star dragon whose path is written across the night sky. But far beneath stone and soil, something ancient stirs. An old hunger. A buried evil that remembers the world before peace. If it rises, the fragile alliance between humans, dragons, and fey may shatter completely... or be forged into something stronger than it has ever been. Because there is no force more unifying than a threat that could destroy them all.
DARK HORIZON
A realm on the brink of war. A bond that threatens to consume them both. Cora's life takes a dangerous turn when she's thrust into a world of secrets and magic. Mistaken for a fae, her blood is thought to hold the power to restore balance to a crumbling realm. The first thing she learns when she's captured: never trust a dragon. Ash has always known what it means to be feared. He comes from the Third Kingdom, the only realm where dragons remain awake inside their bonded. Considered little better than beasts, the people of the Third live in isolation, training to control the instincts and will of the creature that lives inside them. Alone in the Outlands, he never expected to find a fae. Especially not one like her. When her cry shatters the forest, he understands the instinct that drives him to her side. What he does not anticipate is how fiercely he will have to fight the beast that already sees her as its own. With witches whispering of prophecy and a dark king determined to bring about a new era of ruin, they must choose: fight the fate that binds them or risk becoming the very force that brings the realm to ruin. Because the longer they travel together, the harder it becomes to tell where Ash ends and the dragon begins.
