For years, Wormath has lived alone within the walls of a forgotten castle.
He has learned to survive in silence, hidden from a world that once feared him. The shadows are his refuge. The castle is his kingdom. And no one is allowed to enter.
Until Sunne arrives.
Exhausted and fleeing from those who hunt her, she finds shelter within the castle walls, unaware that she has crossed into the domain of a man who does not trust the outside world-or the people who come from it.
Wormath watches her from the shadows.
At first, he sees her as an intruder.
Then something about her begins to awaken a curiosity he thought he had buried long ago.
Sunne knows nothing about the man hiding in the darkness.
She doesn't know what he has suffered.
And she certainly doesn't know that entering his castle may change both their lives forever.
Some secrets are better left buried.
And some hearts were never meant to remain untouched.

The gods are silent now - their echoes swallowed by the dying light of two kingdoms that once believed themselves eternal. Starlight flickers, shadows fracture, and the air itself trembles with the memory of what was lost. The peace that was promised is gone; the balance that was stolen demands its debt. Aurora Valenstar has become both salvation and curse - the last bloom of a kingdom built on stolen dawns. Her blood carries the seed of renewal, yet her heart bears the mark of ruin. Bound to the Shadow-Crowned King by fate and fire, she must choose whether to save the world that betrayed her or the monster who might still be its only hope. Love becomes a weapon. Mercy, a death sentence. And every truth she uncovers unravels the last threads of who she once was. In the depths of the Shadowlands, Killian Varyn faces the prophecy he's long denied: that to heal the dying realm, he must destroy the one soul tethered to his own. But even monsters can tremble when the light they feared begins to reach for them. When gods return to reclaim what was theirs, he will learn that the line between devotion and damnation is drawn in her blood. As Lumeris crumbles and the Veil cracks, blood will turn against blood, the skies will burn, and the last crown will fall not with a roar - but with a whisper. For in this final reckoning, life will only bloom through ruin, and the end will come not in shadow... but in light too bright to survive. Fate cannot be rewritten. It can only be fulfilled.

As such, it is very unedited! I am leaving it up because it was my first book on Wattpad, and came straight from my heart. I don't really plan on editing it so I am sorry if you notice any errors/holes/mistakes, but hope you can enjoy it in its very rough and unpolished form nonetheless :-)Complete
Love at Second Sight
Zachary Sifton just inherited one of the best and largest chain of luxury hotels in the world, which is known for a phenomenal experience overall. So, he is gearing up for his acquisition gala. To make it nonpareil, he knows he needs her, because she is the absolute best. Also, he isn't used to things not happening his way. But she is different. She outright refuses him, time and again, purposely...or perhaps not. Savannah Reece is a Le Cordon Bleu chef. Exceptionality is second nature to her. Every restaurant in the world is struggling to tie her down to them. But the issue is, she doesn't function that way. She swore against devoting herself to one establishment, and that was that; period. She is a stringent and unforgiving perfectionist when it comes to food. But otherwise, she's extremely likable. These two have a history, a terrific past. She couldn't forget it; he doesn't remember it. She has no clue that her would-be employer is none other than the one person she hoped never to see again. Now, they will come face-to-face, afresh. The only trouble is: this time around, he wants something "more" to do with her. And she doesn't know what to do about that, or about the sparks that fly and fire that sets alight in her whenever he's around. *** *This book is only available on Wattpad. If you are reading this somewhere else, please bring it to my notice. It would be really appreciated.*Complete
The Princess Project | ✓
Being a Queen was considered everything to my four outrageous cousins. I for one do not care, I never want to be a ruling monarch. Never. The Princess Project was a ritual that my country had been doing for decades. The government of Amaren would choose one descendant of the five royal lineages and make her the project of the country. The Princess would be expected to marry the chosen prince of the country. Of course this sounds like either the best contest you have heard of, or the worst. I personally agree with the civilians who despise it. This short story contains 10 chapters, and was entered in the #OnceUponNow contest sponsored by Target! Highest Ranking in Short Story #69 [Not Edited Yet!] • Started | April 17, 2016 Finished | April 24, 2016Complete
Lunar Enchantment
One girl. Four fragments. A thousand years of darkness waiting to be let in. Aurora "Rory" Whitmore thought the biggest challenge of her senior year would be surviving her parents' move to a desolate mountain town. But Silverwood isn't just a quiet retreat-it's a cage, and the lock is beginning to break. When a series of brutal, impossible attacks leaves her school in ruins, Rory discovers a terrifying truth: she is the hereditary guardian of an ancient lunar seal. For centuries, her family has stood between the world and the Veilborn-an abyssal hunger that turns men into monsters and shadows into blades. With the next full moon fast approaching, Rory must hunt down the four shattered fragments of the Moonstone: the Crescent, the Shard, the Eye, and the Heart. Each piece she finds grants her a power that is as intoxicating as it is dangerous, slowly stripping away her humanity and transforming her into something the legends call the Shadow-Queen. Guided by her grandmother's cryptic lore and protected by a boy with his own golden-eyed secrets, Rory must ascend the treacherous Summit of Sorrows. If she can't fuse the stone before the moon reaches its peak, the Veil will shatter, and the darkness will become permanent. The hunt is on. The Queen is waking up. And the price of the crown may be her very soul.Complete
