Darian is a living legend.
A being forged from werewolf fury, witchcraft mastery, and vampire immortality-so powerful that no kingdom, coven, or clan dares challenge him. He is feared, worshipped, and utterly unbeatable.
And then there is Ella.
Just a human.
No magic. No prophecy. No rules.
Ella is reckless, sharp-tongued, and fearless to the point of madness. She bullies the very man capable of destroying worlds-and somehow, he lets her. While magic cannot bind Darian and strength cannot defeat him, Ella controls him without a single spell.
In a world where power decides everything,
how does a powerless girl command the most powerful man alive?
This is a story where monsters kneel, magic fails, and the greatest force is neither spell nor strength-but a human girl who refuses to be afraid.

When he arrives, he finds himself surrounded by something he's despised his whole life. Humans. When he runs into an itty bitty, 18 year old human girl with big doe eyes in his class, Alpha Veiler knows he's in trouble.

LYCANTHROPE
"I want you." With a touch as light as a feather, Cillian hooked a thick finger under her chin to get a better look at her face. "Look at me." Slowly, her eyes cracked open, but she didn't dare meet his eyes. His grip tightened ever so slightly, a warning. Her breath caught in her throat when she looked at him- I mean, really looked at him. His golden eyes were as direct, not even blinking as much as the average person. They glistened in the moonlight that peeked through the blinds, bringing an inhuman shine to them. A satisfied smile stretched across his lips until his prominent canines made an appearance. A finger tugged on the collar of her shirt and dragged it down- just enough to reveal the mark that was imprinted forever on her delicate neck. "Do remember what this means?" It was this speech, this deep, heavy voice of his that immediately set him apart from everyone else. No longer able to hold his gaze, her eyes fell and she shook her head. His hand caught somewhere behind her neck and base of her jaw to tilt her head back so her eyes met his. "I think you do." He persisted. His other hand came up to lightly brush the hair back away from her face. "What are we, hmm?" His fingers trailed down the curves of her body until they settled on her hips to gently tug her closer, pulling a sharp inhale from her. With their bodies pressed together, hearts racing in sync, and butterflies fluttering in both of their stomachs, she peeked up at him once more. A shudder shot down her spine as he leaned in to nuzzle her neck, his hot breath fanning against the mark. "C'mon, say it." He breathily taunted. With a shaky breath, she whispered, "we're mates." - ranks - #1 new story #1 wolf # 2 alphaComplete
Shadows of the Heart
He was born royalty a tri-breed prince, the first of his kind. She was just a human girl with fire in her heart and no idea the supernatural world even existed. But the moment he found her, the bond snapped into place; wild, forbidden, and far too early. She couldn't remember. He could never forget. He watched from the shadows, hungered in silence, torn between the duty of a king and the pull of a mate the universe marked for him. She grew up not knowing he'd already chosen her. But the heat between them only smoldered, scorching beneath every stolen glance, every gift left without a name, every moment she didn't understand and every one he couldn't stop himself from creating. Because some bonds don't wait. And love like theirs? It burns before it blooms.
Her Beast
Everyone in the town of Ashwood had heard the stories. For generations, whispers of a Beast in the woods echoed through quiet kitchens and over flickering campfires. It was said to prowl the dense forest that circled the town like a watchful wall. No one had ever seen its face-only its outline. A hulking silhouette, barely distinguishable from the darkness itself, always watching, always just out of reach. Sometimes it appeared under the light of a full moon, lingering at the edge of vision before vanishing again for years. And when it returned, it brought a hush with it. Birds would fall silent. Dogs would cower. Shadows seemed to grow longer, colder. Most of Ashwood scoffed at the legends now. They called it a ghost story for children, a tale told to keep teenagers from wandering too far. But the ones who knew better-the ones who had seen the shadow moving between the trees-felt the truth in their bones. The Beast was real. And whatever it was waiting for, it was coming closer. But Zoey knew, he was coming for her. Romance Fantasy Novel A book full of romance, secrets, prophecies and much more!!Complete
The Lycan King's Human Mate
"Stop," the beast growled in my ear. The sound vibrated through my entire body. I froze for a heartbeat from pure shock. He lowered his head beside mine, breath warm against my neck. His voice was low, dangerous... fraying at the edges. "Aurora," he said, "if you run from me again, I will chase you. And I will catch you. His hold tightened as if proving the point. "I will always catch you." Tears spilled down my cheeks. "You're scaring me," I whispered, voice shaking. His breath hitched-barely, but enough that I felt it. For a moment, just a moment, the iron in his grip softened. His hand slid from my waist to my wrist, holding firm but no longer crushing. Then his other arm locked around my upper body, strong enough that escape was impossible. "Aurora," he said, his voice rough, "you cannot run from a bond like this." I shook my head violently. "I'm human! I'm not meant for- for you!" His chest rumbled behind me, a low, frustrated sound. "You are meant for me," he said, lips brushing the shell of my ear. "Fate does not make mistakes."

Luna
Long ago, before humanity became the world it is today, there existed an age untouched by technology or luxury. It was a peaceful era, where humans lived as one-unseparated by language, race, or desire. It was a time of happiness. But it was also an age shadowed by fear. Creatures roamed the land, hunting any human unfortunate enough to cross their path. These beings were not always monsters. Once, they were human-devoted worshippers of the moon, who shaped their lives around its glow. Then the moon betrayed them. Cursed by its power, their ordinary lives were twisted into something monstrous and unforgiving. In her ambition, the Moon Goddess sought to unite man and wolf into a perfect being. Instead, her failure gave birth to a beast-one that tore through the land and shattered the peace of the world. From this mistake began a nightmare. And from that nightmare emerged a fate destined to fall upon Luna-the pure and innocent child of the forest.Complete
