In the unused railways beneath the streets of London lives a peculiar sort of folk; the outcast; the overlooked.
Valerie Glass wasn't always a Sewer Rat. She remembers the days of splendour, dinner parties and extravagant gifts. She was to be a Lady, envied for her beauty and cleverness. One night before her very eyes her future unravels. Her mother is murdered by wildling vampires, her father's body torn to pieces.
It would have been her fate too had it not been for Cordelia: a vampire who still sees the beauty in humanity. Valerie escapes with Cordelia to Underlondon where they remain hidden for a decade. With no warning strange things begin to plague the city. Harlots go missing only to turn up several days later with their throats torn out, hearts missing. Thieves are found wandering the dark streets above eyes glazed over and mumbling an archaic incantation.
A war is coming and a boy with eyes the colour of jade believes he is the key to Valerie's survival.

Echoes Of The Machine
Eighteen years have passed since Lord Crainus, the metallic leader, reshaped the city. Now christened Vaporwarn, the once-polluted metropolis gleams with sterile efficiency. Towering wind turbines hum, powering the city with clean energy, while sleek, emotionless sentinels patrol the streets, enforcing Lord Crainus' ironclad rule. Yet, beneath the surface of progress, a simmering unease persists. The citizens, stripped of their individuality, move with a practiced stoicism. In this rigidly controlled environment thrives Anabelle, once known as Anya, Lord Crainus's daughter. Anabelle is no ordinary young woman. Inheriting her father's brilliance for invention, she secretly builds intricate mechanical devices, her crowning achievement being a sophisticated gauntlet pulsating with unknown energy. But unlike her father, Anabelle's heart is filled with love for her family and a burning desire to restore balance to Vaporwarn. A gnawing secret fuels her actions. The bargain her father struck with a demon to save the city transformed him into a cold, metallic being. Now, driven by a fierce love for her father and a yearning for the man he once was, Anabelle delves into forbidden knowledge. Her quest: to find a way to imprison the demon and release her father from its grasp. Armed with a battered notebook filled with cryptic symbols and fueled by her unwavering determination, Anabelle navigates the hidden underbelly of Vaporwarn, seeking out those who possess knowledge of the forgotten arts - the very tools needed to confront a darkness that threatens to consume them all. This is just the beginning of Anabelle's journey. Will she succeed in freeing her father and restoring hope to Vaporwarn? Or will the city succumb to the iron grip of Lord Crainus and the lurking shadows of the demon's bargain?Kumpleto

The Hybrid
I jumped to my feet and punched him in the side. There was hardly an effect. "You're weak" he spat, walking a step closer towards me. I growled as I had had it with this blood sucking devil! My blue eyes fumed in anger as my wolf was released. I am a white wolf. Liam's eyes bulged as he saw my true form. He then smiled ready to fight. I lunged for the bastard, knocking him to the ground. His other minions rushed towards me all attaching me at once. I attempted to fight against them. They kept coming on me and it was becoming too much for me to handle. My fur had gone from a snowy white, to a bloody reddish color. So much blood. I laid down. Maybe just a minute of rest. I saw Liam walk up to me. He looked down at me and smiled. "What's wrong little wolf? No more energy?" He smirked. Then Liam was suddenly thrown to the damp ground by something, a jet black wolf with glowing red eyes. He was beautiful with his gleaming coat and strong legs. The black wolf left Liam on the ground and fiercely killed all of Liam's minions easily. He wasn't finished with his prowl, he turned back to face Liam but realized that the pureblooded vampire had already run off. Then I hear a deep growl. "Mate", and my heart stops. ------------ Alexandra's pack is mercilessly destroyed by werewolves most hated species: vampires. The species has hated each other since the beginning of time. But what happens when she finds out she is half vampire and half werewolf? A hybrid cross species who is on the run from the vampire Liam who wants to use her as a trophy. She meets her mate, Tyler, who is the leader of a ruthless pack called the Silvermoon pack. But will he be able to protect her from the relentless vampire out to get her? ----- My very first attempt at writing a book so be gentle! Many errors and typos!Kumpleto

Beauty and Beastly | ✓
THIS BOOK IS COMPLETED but it will be HEAVILY EDITED and have things added to it in the future. I wrote this book when I was much younger. I didn't expect it to reach this amount of popularity so I will devote my time to bettering it in the future. ------------------ Every year, in our village and the neighbouring villages, we encounter, on what is suppose to be the most divine and celebrated day of the year, a visit from the 'big bad wolf'. At least that's what the children call him. Adults like to call him "inhuman" or a "wild ravenous monster". However, the majority settle for "beast". No one knows why he ruins this specific day for us, the day we can celebrate our species: werewolves. Some despise him for taking this day from us and forcefully exchanging our merry and joyful laughs to screams of fear. When that specific day of the year approaches us, none of us are ever prepared for it. He always comes at night. We are told to lock our windows, draw our curtains and our doors. We are told to hide. There's one main rule that we have: don't look at him. Because if you do, no one knows what'll happen to you. Maybe that's the worse part, not knowing your fate. Not knowing the outcome of your foolish actions. If he comes roaming your streets, you have a right to be scared. Us "maidens" are always encouraged to hide ourselves the most, it's women that he supposedly wants more. However, I believe that that is a cautionary excuse. He'll take you, no matter how old or how young, no matter how innocent or how corrupt, no matter your gender, all it takes is a look. Either he looks at you, or you look at him, or you both exchange looks. Either way, his senses will pick you up, and you can't hide. It'll be too late. The amazing cover is by @-blackrogue. The amazing aesthetics in this book are by @mackreadsbooks24 Highest Rankings: 1st in #werewolflove 1st in #fierce 1st in #defiant 1st in #feminism 1st in #monster + many othersKumpleto
Falling To Pieces <editing>
FANFIC FOR THE INFERNAL DEVICES :D (In My Version) ~~~~~~~~~~~~ (First summary) In A story there's always a story and in this case its really a key within a key, when Theresa Grey finds out that she is the key to open up the Downworld, her first reaction wasn't fear, it was disgust. Finding her self deep with the sharks isn't what she expected. And now since she has a cursed pocket watch live couldn't get easier.

On the way secrets turn into unwanted truth and loyalty is tested among her and others. In the end Tessa Knows she can't trust no one; even her own brother. But if that's the least of her worries; what troubles her most is her self. She must fight her demons and welcome a world that only few know about, and with the help of an old demon friend and a married couple Theresa knows there's still hope left. ~Read to book to find more!!!! :D ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Sample) She revealed the sharp glass object to them both and then she placed it, in front of her. Her world was Falling to Pieces, and so was she. She stared into the sinister eyes of the demon; her eyes showing a raging hatred, but what she was about to do would be better then someone else doing it for her. And so she stabbed the glass into her heart making her drop to the floor in seconds. She took her last breathe and closed her eyes, for if they wanted a story then they just got one.Kumpleto

| MMRM | My Mate, Remember Me
***Please read my message on November 12, 2019 (if you can) for enlightenment purposes*** "Who are you?" A certain Luna asked. "Tell me, why do I feel like this?" The Alpha in front of her just stayed frozen. "Why do you make me feel so....pained?" The Luna questioned as her hands slightly trembled. "You have suffered because of me. I deserve to be punished but please," He said as he tried to approach her. The Luna watched him in disbelief as the man embraced her tightly in his arms. "Please let me hold you in my arms, even if its just for awhile, even if its just for today. Please..." He begged as tears fell down from his face. 'If I tell her that she's my mate, then I will lose the right to remain by her side.' The Alpha firmly said inside his mind. 'Please, just let me stay while I can, because once she remembers me - I will have to leave.' ※◎※◎※◎※◎※◎-※◎※◎※◎※◎※◎ This book is a work of fiction. The cliche: "Alpha rejects his mate and regrets it once he sees her." WARNING: Over-used plot and plot holes. I just had to write it. *laughs* #MMRM ©Itwasonlyadream801 [Aleana Dela Cruz]Kumpleto
