Delilah
Decades ago, the world came to a halt as humanity knew it. Wars spurred the worldwide deathrates to a new high, businesses closed, and much of the new technology stopped working altogether. As if life could not get much worse for the surviving humanity that was left, creatures of the night came forth from the shadows, ready to claim what was left of the world's society and kill those who opposed the new regimen. However, all of this was unknown to a young woman you lived with her small family in a quiet town, hidden from the chaos of the outside world. The young woman who lived in this town was called Delilah, and this is her story. Please note that this book is a slow-burn. Yes, there is romance. Yes, like my characters you may be left wanting more. Good stuff takes time, give this book a try. Additionally, I started writing this book while I was fresh out of High School, I am now a junior in college. While the writing was not necessarily bad, it has improved greatly with the more recent chapters. Please keep in mind that as you read and you're thinking to yourself "this grammar sucks," it will eventually get better. #8 in dystopian- 12/21/2025 #2 in castle- 12/22/2025 #3 in beast- 12/22/2025 #6 in human- 3/12/2026 #9 in humanxwerewolf- 3/12/2026 #15 in shifter- 3/12/2026Complete

The Beast Within Us
"I said goodbye to Roze as I go to get my supplies. It's times like this that make me wonder... Maybe if my mother never gave me up I would be treated better by those who actually care about me...

I let out a heavy, sad sigh. Someday... Somehow... Someway... I'll get what I truly deserve..." ~*~*~*~*~ Delilah's life is nothing she had expected: Her parents abandoned her as a baby, her hard and meaningless role in this pack she now calls home sucks the life out of her, and her mate now wants nothing to do with her.

But this time something sinister happens, something that forces her out of her pack, never being able to return. We all have a beast inside us- but what happens when we let them out..?Complete

the Zone of Silence
A question came to me during a reset. A question that has started bleeding through my veins. A question I whisper over and over in my sleep. A question you think I am asking passively. But it stitches into me, coiling around my being. A question I keep asking because it doesn't make sense. All that is left of the world is a city. She is the only person left. She doesn't know what happened, where the people went, why there is no life. You are there. But who are you? What is she? What is she supposed to do when the world resets, and more and more of the city is demolished. She's running out of time. *Completed*Complete
Twisted Turmoil
Centuries ago, the supernatural decided to come out of hiding. It sparked a war, all sides suffering until a treaty was formed. All species signed it. While most of the world chose to intermingle and live in coexistence, two countries remained the outliers. North America split into territories. The werewolves took most of the mid- western side, save for the coast that had been more city dominated. The vampires claimed the coastal sides that were city dominated. A few decades after the treaty, the boundary lines blurred but still existed. Witches and humans intermixed; some preferred the solitude the forests provided while others liked the constant movement of the cities. No one was restricted to specific sides. There were stories of others, the fae and merfolk. They had long since died out during the war. Humans now threatened to follow in their footsteps.
