At war with a common enemy, alliances had to be formed. And so King Dimitrios Xanthe of the Wolfen blood-bonded Princess Ailara Davriel of the Vampyr. Along with it was a promise that when the two come of age, the two kingdoms will become one. 

Until something went horribly wrong... 

The alliance was broken with the death of several royals. One kingdom was hunted and killed almost to the point of extinction. Ailara vanished without a trace. 

Until almost a century later and their paths cross again.

Finally, Dimitri will have his revenge. He'd keep her by his side so he can make her watch as he destroys what's left of her kingdom and then kill her himself. But along the way, he discovers something else... The call of the mate bond is much stronger and she stirs feelings in him that he's never felt before. 

Will the two rulers be able to reunite Xathos and vanquish the enemy? Or will they fall prey to chaos and destroy the Golden Dynasty Aiken and Selene worked so hard for? 

Only one thing is for sure: The key to saving or destroying Xathos lies within the heart of a king.

Book 1 of (The Awakening Series) {#1 Supernatural} {#1 Paranormal} {#1 Lycans} {#1 Vampire Romance} {#5 Royalty} The world went to shit long before I was born. Humans like me use to believe other species were nothing more than fictional characters, myths, or figures of one's imagination. But that was before vampires left the shadows and decided to reveal their species to the world. I've been told that teenage girls use to fantasize about being swooshed off their feet by those mysterious creatures. Insane. Matter of fact, insane would be an understatement, they were fucking lunatics. Vampires are not some fictional character that would love you like no other. No, vampires are not some sort of myth, and they most certainly are not, a figment of anyone's imagination. They are very real, and they despise the human race. In fact, they have enslaved my entire species and formed a new world. Each continent is owned by a ruthless, bloodsucking, barbaric, the vampire king. Every single one of them has played a part in the war of the awakening, showing no mercy, killing without question. Humans didn't even stand a chance. Our army and world leaders were killed or imprisoned in less than a couple of days. They slaughtered my race, but it didn't stop there. No, that was only the beginning of human suffering. Trust me when I say the death was truly a kindness, because anyone who survived the awakening, would beg for death. I was positive that my suffering would come to an end when I turned eighteen. I was hoping and praying to be marked as a feeder, nothing more, nothing less. Death was the only way out of this world. You see, all of the kings who ruled over the earth were cruel and calculating. They are all tyrants in their own right and they all answered to one vampire. Who was known as the most barbaric of them all and I was marked as his chosen. The King of all Vampire Kings.

Book 5.5! 19-year old Winter is on the hunt for vampires. Not any vampires, just one group in particular. After growing up in a family of vampire hunters and losing all contact with them, Winter makes it her life goal to track down every single vampire there the night her family home burned to the ground six years ago. With no family left, and nowhere to go, Winter searches for answers and revenge all in one. Her search sometimes leads to making vampire friends, and other times leads to eradicating an entire clan. Her one purpose is to find those responsible, get answers on her missing family's status- dead or simply missing- and kill any involved in her whole world burning falling apart. Thaddeus is one of the oldest vampires in the world, set on a mission to take over and replace The Elders, the supernatural government that has grossly overstepped their boundaries and operated on unethical means to maintain their power while losing sight of caring for their people. It isn't his first attempt at overthrowing the powerful force, but as his list of allies grow, so does his list of complications. Between maintaining relationships with his new allies, protecting the key pieces in his plan, and trying to coax a long lost supernatural out of hiding, he has no time for anything else. Especially not the vampire-hunting human his brother associates with. Winter and Thaddeus find their paths crossing more than either of them like. They butt heads, threaten and attempt to kill each other, and find through all their conflict that there is something underneath. An unwanted camaraderie, an unfortunate mutual understanding of the others motivations, and most inconveniently, a draw to each other that takes time away from their firm ambitions. On the matter of the greater good or love, both have to choose which means more to them.

[𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐧, 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐥 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐮𝐬: 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐲 𝐮𝐬.] Queen Aiko Cennín awakes to the sight of her kingdom destroyed by the power of the Ember Core. The price of freedom was steep, but she can find no fault in paying it. That is, until the shadows start to stir and trouble finds her once more. When Felix--her friend and former assassin--is taken, Aiko is faced with a difficult choice: to let him go or to risk her life to save his. The farther she wanders from the safety of Niveus, the deeper she wades into the truth of the phoenix god and its Ember Core. All actions have consequences, and the primordial gods are not so forgiving to those that disrupt their order for selfish humanity. With the destruction of the Ember Core, the world between worlds is crumbling, and the Core Reapers are desperate to mend it--no matter what it costs the human realm. Held captive for meddling with the Core, Felix finds himself at the mercy of the Reapers to pay for Aiko's mistakes. With time and the gods against her, Aiko races to rescue him before it's too late. However, she won't have to do it alone. Magic abounds where Cores are born, and Niveus is not the only kingdom with a god-given gift. She joins forces with another Bright Soul: a young girl on a similar quest to find her missing sister. Together, they may be able to mend the world between worlds and save the ones they care for most. But the price of freedom is always a little more than one is willing to pay. ~𝐒𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐬 ~Completed!
