The Power

Alice lives in a world that is completely different from our own. Time is reversed, meaning that they are moving toward the middle ages while we move on to science. The people are different. They are solely driven by greed and starvation, coveting the most destructive weapon of all: the Power. This is a force of nature that changes the human possessing it completely. Once the Power is won, it's captor becomes emotionless, indestructible, and horrible. Humans are constantly at war for this force, desperately trying to claim it for their own.
At least, until Alice comes along. Having been brought up by nearly everyone in her village, Alice is used to hearing the tales of the glorious Power, old women telling her not to bother trying to get it (they didn't want extra competition), cackling boys who would announce all the lives they'd claim if they got their hands on the Power, and middle aged men who were hardly at home, busy searching for the Power. But Alice never quite understood why the Power was so great.
She wanted an adventure, but not one focused on the Power.
One day, her village is visited by a group of outsiders, one young man in the lead. As soon as he sets his eyes on Alice, he knows that she would be perfect for his quest. And after persuading her to go with his men, they set off, not to claim the Power as their own, but to destroy it.
And maybe on the way, love will find it's way into Alice's heart.

I can't save them. I can't do anything my hands are tied. Literally. We are slaves. It doesn't bother me, I could care less. Being a weapon doesn't bother me. But it hurts them and I can't have that. No matter how long it takes. I will get them out. Note: This is set before Try me. I dare you. From River's POV and a few others of her herd. It starts when River is one and will go on till right before she enters the school. I recommend you do read it before book two of the 'I dare you' series. Where a lot of this book comes out.Complete

I was scared of the future because I knew surely he would be back to check on his Queen.

Finding the Fallen
Kala had always thought of herself as normal, but when the world ended, cleansed by a power most would fail to understand, she realized she was far from normal. That day, Kala awoke in a fog surrounded by a nothingness that permeated every pore of her body. The only sounds she could hear were her own ragged breaths in the vast and empty darkness. When the light finally returned, she found herself utterly alone and suddenly part of a struggle much bigger than she'd ever thought possible. With that struggle came something else...power. Power to control the elements. Power the likes of which she had only seen in movies or read about in books. Despite her disbelief, it remained...right there in the palms of her hands. Eventually Kala learned to use her power as it was intended. As she wandered the new world, she met others like herself, other Servants with similar abilities who understood the reason for the destruction...for the loss. And then, six years after her world turned upside down, she met him. A handsome stranger in a tiny town in the middle of the West Virginia woods - not a Servant - not like her. And certainly not the type of man Kala had expected to find herself falling for. But the man she met there turned out to be more than just a hero in her time of need. At her side, he would become a protector, leader, confidant, and so much more. Together, they would find themselves fighting a growing evil...a man like Kala, who had been granted power beyond words or description. He might have been a good man once, but his fall was nearly complete. And now he desired only to rule - not to heal. This man would lead a small army against them, but they wouldn't have to fight alone. There was another, more powerful force on their side...one that could change the course of the war to come.Complete
Caged By Him
"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine." All I could do was tremble at his touch. How can someone so beautiful be so heartless? ~~~~~~~~~~ All a 19 year old Aurora Shaw wanted to do was work to make a living and volunteer at the orphanage.

A Pet for the Dragons
❝Three dragons and their naughty little pet.❞ There's a rule in piracy - never fuck with the Dragons because they burn you alive. Literally. I'm not a fan of following rules, especially when the Dragons' hoarding obsession makes them the wealthiest patrons. I shouldn't be surprised when I'm kidnapped by the dragons upon failing to fulfil my end of an important deal. As if my luck couldn't be more of a bitch to me, I get kidnapped by none other than the three Dragons from one of the most powerful clans in the Arctic- Radrox, Ivret and Zorge. Now that they have me, I must pay for my failed deal in cash or kind. But that's not what they seem to be interested in, especially with the dwindling population of dragon ladies and their dangerous obsession with me. Those three dragons are definitely going to burn me but with a different kind of fire. ~ It can be read as a stand-alone book. Themes: slow burn, some BDSM, smut (loads of it), dirty talking, knotting, breeding, reverse harem, romance, kink exploration, action, world-building and a purely character-driven plot with wholesome and humorous moments :) What's not in the book? - Grape. Even though there's a power imbalance between the FL and the MLs, whatever happens between them and her involves consent. No cheating. The MLs don't do each other in this book. ~ COMPLETE NEXT BOOK - A Plaything for the Dragons PREQUEL OF THIS BOOK - Her Alpha Mates
