Dream of a place that has almost everything someone would want in it. There is no poverty, pollution, or anything that seems to do harm to the world. Everyone seems happy, content, and follows a life of comfort and joy. Love and hope are almost tangible things, and anyone can feel it while in that place. Birds sing, and the animals there mingle and live in harmony with the humans. The shining sun is a stable object in the sky.
Now, with all of that in mind, flip that image upside down. The aforementioned poverty and pollution come back in full force. The tangible love and hope sours and shrivels into something darker. Car alarms and screams are a part of this place's background noise. Smog clouds cover the previously blue sky.
These two places seem worlds away from each other, but they are only separated by a wall that seems to split the world in half. The wall, giving the impression that it rises up into the heavens and goes beyond even that, is the clean side's salvation.
At the same time, it is the darker side's bane. Many live on either side of the wall, but the darker side's people are dying due to the pollution that the clean side has trapped them in. The clean side, Sanctum, lets its people live a happy life, while the children of the darker side, the Rot, were doomed from birth to short lives until sickness or confinement claimed them.
The wall Aegis has stood for two hundred and ninety-eight years, taken care of by the Sentinels of Sanctum. Guarded by their elite, Sanctum's citizens hardly ever thought about the Rot's blight. After all, their king would always take care of them.
Something out of sight is out of mind, but this blight's salvation is about to be in full view.

Glass Heart
After the Earth's magnetic field collapsed, the planet was bombarded with unfiltered solar radiation. The skies burned. Cities turned to dust. Survivors now live in massive airborne citadels, floating high above the toxic surface in a fragile balance of climate, class, and control. Each citizen's survival depends on a Glass Heart - a biomechanical implant powered by solar energy, calibrated to their social rank. The elite bask in artificial sunlight and live for centuries. The lower castes, confined to the shadowed underlayers, burn out fast - their hearts dimming with every passing year. Aella, born in the shadow-tier, works as a solar mechanic, servicing the light panels that keep the city afloat. One wrong move, and she risks exposure to raw light - a death sentence. She lives quietly, surviving by routine... until one night, she's ordered to repair a core in the upper citadel. There, she meets Cassian, a solar prince with a perfect Glass Heart - blindingly bright, surgically beautiful, and destined to rule the sky. Their connection is immediate. Impossible. Reckless. Every moment Aella spends near him overcharges her failing heart, threatening to burn her alive. Every second Cassian defies his caste by being with her dims his - an irreversible sign of corruption. But as their stolen encounters grow deeper, they uncover a secret buried in the light system: the citadel is failing. The elite's immortality depends on draining the hearts of the poor. Every bright Glass Heart comes at the cost of hundreds of dimmed ones. Including Aella's. They can run - and die faster. Or they can ignite a revolution powered by love, truth, and the one thing the elite can't manufacture: sacrifice. Because love isn't forbidden. It's just fatal.
Marked By The Alpha King.
Skyler was a captured omega, forced to serve the powerful Alpha King who despised his bloodline. To Varynn he was nothing, just another slave from a fallen clan. Until the night heat overtook Skyler in the palace. Until Varynn answered the call...and marked him. Now, Skyler carries the Alpha's child but instead of protection and affection, he's met with silence, cruelty and the announcement of the King's engagement to another omega. Heartbroken and humiliated, Skyler runs. Pregnant, alone and determined never to be used again. But Varynn didn't mean to bond. Didn't mean to care. And when the bond starts to drive him mad, he'll tear kingdoms apart to find the omega who was never supposed to matter... But may have been his mate all along.

Author Note: This story is currently being revised. Chapters may be updated. They took her sight, her throne, and her trust. But when the storms rise, so does she. Now Eira must choose. Between running and love, between the crown and the one man she cannot lose. They say the island remembers. Its six points rise like blades from the sea, carved not by time but by will-old will, war-forged and sealed with blood. Once, long ago, there was peace. But peace is a fragile lie, and power has a taste too rich for those born too close to thrones. And so the old king fell. A new line rose, crowned not by right, but by betrayal. And from that line came a bride. Untitled, unwilling, and dangerous without knowing it. Her name was Eira. She was never meant to refuse. She was never meant to survive. Blinded by treachery, betrayed by blood, she was given as bait to lure a boy who would be king. But she was paired with another. Chosen. The island woke. And in the dark, where eyes fail and truth sharpens, Eira rose. Not with sight, but with vision. And the island was watching. And love was by her side. This is the story of the girl who failed every test. Until the one that mattered. And of the man who loved her not for her power, but for her resistance to it. Before Eira, there was only fear. After her, nothing would be the same. Now updated with a never-before-seen three-part prequel! Read to the end for the icy origin of Lucan and Eira's bond.Terminé
The Revelation
In the beginning, there was death. The darkness flows from hues of purple and orange, the moon rising to kiss the sun's rays one last time as the darkest cloud of night I've ever seen falls over our tiny haven. I catch Will's face from the side of my vision and my heart tightens slightly. The tick of his jaw wouldn't be noticeable for anyone but me. His best friend, his lifeline. A solemn tear forms in my eye as he wipes his face, another tear falling for the family he lost. I love him. Utterly and desperately so, but, there's nothing I can do about that. The ultimate forbidden fruit, if you will. I reach to comfort him and he doesn't respond. I open my mouth to speak and he looks my way, but the gleam in his dark brown eyes hits the moonlight just right and I fall. My voice escapes my throat and I can't do it. I've tried for years to tell him. 10 years, actually. All this time, I hopelessly remained devoted to a ghost who had given the best of himself to a fiery red-head with a sassy personality and the body of a supermodel. For 10 years, I held to the desperate thought that maybe, just maybe, he'd be someone I could count on. Instead, I watched him marry my best friend, smiled as they welcomed their son. Stood, holding that beautiful boy as his mother was in the first round of executions after the beginning of the Revelation. Helped heal Will's wounds in the aftermath. Cried, clutching the tear-stained shirt of my best friend as his son took his last staggering breath in that first harsh winter. The guilt of my emotions crawl through me. My heart twisting in regret, guilt, desperation, and grief. I loved my best friend. She was so much more than that; she was my family. In this dystopian quick read, join a group of people desperate to recapture their freedom and end a tyrant's reign.Terminé
His Secrets And Lies (Bwwm)
The banging starts again but this time a lot louder. I can hear the girls screaming up stairs. I pick up my phone and dial 911. "Hello this is 911 what's your emergency?" "There are a bunch of wolves outside my house. I think they have rabies or something I'm not sure." The banging gets louder and I can feel my face getting wet from the tears. "Mamm did you say wolves are there?" "Yes Yes there are wolves about 10 of them out here in my front yard. I need help!" I hang up the phone and sit on the end of the stair case. I close my eyes and start praying. Something I haven't done in a while. "I have faith, there is a god. I have faith, there is a god, I have faith, there is a god." I repeat over and over. The glass breaks and I start screaming. I stand up and try to scramble up the stairs. The door comes falling down and there are about 10 wolves standing in front of my door. A woman emerges and walks toward me. She snaps her fingers and the pretty brown wolf is in front of me. Right there by my face. "Ridanna you know what to do." Her teeth is wrapped around my neck and she sinks them in. I try to scream but it's hard to. At first it hurts but now the pain no longer exists. I feel like there is no such thing as pain and I feel light as if I can float off the Earth. Fine as hell white boy with a pro-black activist fall for each other. Cherise Miss Activist doesn't want to date Zaire the fine as hell white boy not for his race but for his secrets. What if he had a past he didn't tell you about and the only way you found out is because the past came to kill you? And I'm not talking werewolves and vampires. Cherise would only wish for problems for they would be so simple compared to hers and Zaire's. If any woman found out Zaire's secrets they'd take off running to the nearest police station or they end up in a body bag in the end. Depends....which will come first?Terminé
