Amelia grew up in a world of half-truths. She knows she's an Elder, but has no idea what that means. Her father reminds her daily that she must maintain control, but he refuses to explain why. Even worse, she's betrothed to the prince of the Immortals and doesn't even know his name.
Finally breaking free to live a few normal years at a community college, the last thing Amelia expects is to find her best friend in a cheeky southern girl, or fall for a self-assured human who sees her for who she is, not what she will become.
As she learns more about herself, Amelia realizes the line between love and duty is a thin one. As her power continues to increase exponentially and her questions are slowly answered, Amelia must make the ultimate choice. The question is, will her head win the battle, or her heart?

A Wolf's Courage(Tales of Europa Book 1)
🥀Heat licks up my bones and into the surrounding skin, my groan of pleasure joining Damaris's low growl of desire. However, his lips stay as gentle as his grip on my waist, allowing me to choose how far this will go. My throat rumbles as I purr from his hand slowly trailing up my arm to the side of my neck. My head clouds from the tingling sensation sparking along my flesh, a moment rich like the heady scent of roses and abruptly dashed by the sound of running feet.🌹 (🥉Third Place Best Male Protagonist Award, The Booker Awards) 🐺A fantasy world filled with magic and adventure 🗡 📜The secondary language is Latin🗝 The four walls of the twisting tower was her sanctuary.

A life of quiet that she enjoys, until her world comes crashing down in a blur of smoke and fear.

Amelia - A Life
*WARNING:* references to abuse, fear of death, and (mildly) eating disorders. Semi-autobiografical drabbles of a high-schooler in burnout alternating between a bleak everyday life and a whimsical (or is it?) dreaming experience. Featuring a struggling teenager with a tendency to philosophize (Amelia), an endearingly silly cat named Banjo and perhaps more characters to come. Author's Note: For the 2 people reading this, I have not abandoned this story. I am now on a trip to America and have had little time to write. New chapters are in the works!Complete
Battered
"Mate," he says, locking eyes with me instantaneously. I don't say anything. Nobody does. The entire place has noticed and subsequently fallen silent. Every breath of air is drawn carefully. Oxygen feels thick like molasses. I can only think that it is all so clear now. All day I had been going back and forth over whether true happiness is possible for me. Now, I see it. Misery is always eternal. Then I hit the floor. (Excerpt from Chapter 6) Amelia Harris has never been very upfront with the people in her life.

But when it comes time for Amelia to question fate, the truth can't hide for much longer. NEW CHAPTER EVERY FRIDAY POSSIBLE TW: DOMESTIC ABUSE, ALCOHOLISM, S/A, VIOLENCEComplete
