In an alternate version of 1800s London, the government is corrupt and the poor are pushed down. Taxes, kidnappings, murders ,Tash and her thieves are used to this kind of treatment but something new is coming and it's time to change the order. New technologies give rise to new evils and there is little  hope in the shadowy streets. New horrors are rising and only the four clockwork pieces can stop them. A thief, an inventor, a soldier and a noble women must face the corruption in the world and themselves in order to bring light to the shadows and free the city from their oppressors. This unlikely team is looking to start a revolution. It will take lies, betrayal, tricks, murder and of course, theft, to win a game full of shady politicians, corrupt officials and a darkness deeper than imagined. In a world where science and magic collide the answers are never clear. What is light can be evil and what is dark can be good.

[Watty's Shortlist & WATTPAD PICKS -- Up and Coming List 06.07.2018] Now Available on Amazon!!! His hands moved down to cradle her neck. "I only have one request if you're going to keep me in suspense all day long." "What's that?" The movement of her lips drew his eyes down. "Let me kiss you again?" That voice, breathy and low, set Taly's heart racing. His lips twitched at the corners-he could hear it. Now that he could use his magic, he knew exactly the kind of effect he was having on her. But he didn't move. He waited. Her choice. She set the pace. Taking a shaky breath, she jerked her head. Yes. *** Magic marked her for suffering. Magic will save her. Magic will lead her home. On Tempris, time magic is outlawed, and suspected time mages are hunted. Humans are second-class citizens, shunned by the immortal fey that live on the island. They even have a name for their kind: Shardless. Taly is one of the lucky humans. Taken in by a fey noble and his family, she's lived a good life, surrounded by people she loves. But when an accidental brush with magic causes her to see things -- ghostly apparitions that give her small glimpses into the future -- it has deadly consequences. The Sanctorum has returned to the island, and if they find her, they'll kill her. And anyone that tries to protect her. This includes her best friend, Skye. He was the boy that saved her. The man she knew she could never have. And when he refuses to let her go, their actions might hold the power to reshape the world. An ancient evil is rising, and in order to protect those that she cares for, Taly will have to sacrifice everything. Including her heart.

I WROTE THIS 2 YEARS AGO AND MY WRITING STYLE HAS CHANGED A LOT SINCE THEN. THE ONLY REASON I HAVEN'T TAKEN THIS DOWN IS SENTIMENTALITY. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sophia Dawn is a nerd that is bullied on a daily basis until she starts hanging out with 4 other social outcasts. When her invention at the science fair gets sabotaged and explodes, all five of them, herself, Liz Thorn, Jake Light, Mike Sharp and Charlie King gain superpowers. ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- I am Greek, so if you notice any grammatical or vocabulary mistakes, please don't be rude about it! Just tell me in the comments and I will correct them. Also, this is the first story I publish and I know it is lame, but I do it for the experience. I know it is horrible and everything goes really fast and slow at the same time and there are plot-holes and so many other damn things that I can't count at the moment... Anyway. I hope you won't be too harsh, as I told you I am here for the experience and harsh comments are bound to exist. I can't prevent you from posting them, just please make them as little hurtful as possible, not only for me, but also for yourselves. I really hate blocking people. And if the rude comments are too much I will delete and never post again. Not threatening, just warning. Thank you for your time!!! Also, I am not trying to show JUST the action behind the masks, but also, mainly, the struggle when balancing a life like this. Apart from that, I want to make it kind of dramatic. ;)

Instead I was the Alpha that locked his mate away for a crime that I didn't even know if he actually committed, I thought about rejecting him because he was a man and I'm not gay and I refused to give into the bond and love him back. I felt insecure around Raiden because he's a feline. I was insecure because he's stronger, faster, more dominant and I hated how much my body gave into him - how much my body wanted to submit to him because I'm an Alpha and Alphas don't submit. So I caved and I tainted our bond, I hurt him beyond repair and when I just couldn't deny the bond anymore, I found out just how hard it would actually be to gain his trust back - to get him to want me again. Our bond ended with my mistake but our story began with my redemption. ----- Original had 80 chapters Original started - 9 | 4 | 2022 Original completed - 10 | 20 | 2022 Rewrite will have 100 chapters Rewrite started - 4 | 29 | 2023 Will be completed - 12 | 31 | 2023 #1 FELINE #1 LEOPARD #1 INTERNALCONFLICT #1 INTERNALSTRUGGLE #2 LOVE #3 ALPHA #3 STORY #3 MATEBOND #3 THEWATTYS #8 MXM #9 REDEMPTION

Her boyfriend of exactly a year cheated on her, her cousin is dropped off at her front door, and she moves next door to the last person she wants to be associated with: her math teacher Daniel Maac. As any person knows, high school is the four years in a person's life where they're still figuring themselves out wile getting ready to be thrown into the big world outside called reality.

You're my..." "I know! I know I am. You don't need to remind me." "Apparently I have to cause you're talking about something that is totally illegal. That could land you in prison. And I think that's the last thing you want." "I don't care what happens to me. I care about you. And you know that..." "But loving me isn't the answer," I shouted, tears staining my fair skin. Maac stepped away from the tree, closing the space between us. His hot breath was steaming against my forehead as he looked down at me with his brown eyes, sparkling in the moon's light. "Lemme prove that it is, Sel..." as he lowered his head, lightly placing his lips against mine. I had lost. But he made me not care. Cause I was starting to fall for the last person I should be loving... *************************************** Warning: none of what is in this book actually happened. This is a completely fictional book. DO NOT CALL THE POLICE. This was just an idea I got while sleeping: what if someone did date their high school teacher... and got away with it?
