The Metaphorical Key Book II- Forge the Path
(If you haven't read the first book, stop here! Don't spoil yourself, the first book is also on my profile) The death of a friend can break a person, or reshape them. It could be the straw that broke the camel's back, or a motivator, a push in the right direction. Aiden isn't sure where he falls. All he knows is the guilt and the desire for vengeance. Maybe things could've been different if he hadn't made such a disastrous mistake. But then an opportunity arises for Aiden to learn more about his fallen comrade, to get to know him even beyond the grave. And like death, everything that follows could make or break the rebellion. Note: This story contains a subplot featuring a romance between two boys. It's presented as normal. If you have a problem with the lgbt+ community, then this isn't the book - or authour - for you. I'm a member of the community myself. Happy pride month! Spread love, not hate. <3Complete

Alpha Orion
Reylin has survived what most could not. Fierce, free-spirited, and unbreakably strong-willed, she's one of the last humans still alive and free. She was only thirteen when the Lycans-monsters cloaked in flesh and fangs-descended from the shadows and took everything. Her parents. Her home. Her safety. Now, ten years later, Reylin is a warrior in one of the last hidden human settlements, with only her younger brother left to protect. She refuses to bow. Refuses to break. And she'd rather die than become a slave to the beasts who ruined her world. But survival gets harder by the day. The Lycans are not just strong. They're fast, brutal, and natural-born predators. Since the Great War, they've established a merciless new order-one where humans are hunted, enslaved, or wiped out entirely. And Reylin's time is running out. When her village is raided by Lycan soldiers, she risks everything to protect her brother only to be captured by the infamous Alpha of the North. Alpha Orion. Crowned in blood and forged in war, Orion is one of the ruthless Alpha who led the Lycans to victory. A cold and calculated killer, he sees humans as weak, defiant creatures undeserving of breath. He doesn't hesitate to crush rebellions, burn settlements, and extinguish hope. Until her. The defiant human girl who won't bow, who tried to kill him. The one his beast calls mate. Orion is disgusted by the bond, repulsed by the idea of being tied to a human, but his instincts scream to claim her, protect her, destroy anything that touches her. And when secrets from the war begin to surface, loyalty is tested, and bloodlines come into question, one thing becomes terrifyingly clear: He may hate her kind. But he will burn the world before letting her go.Complete
