Lila always wanted to study magic in the gleaming Capitol city, Grandowlin. It was her ultimate dream to become a scholar in magic and be taught by the greatest wizards and sorceresses of her time. 

When she sets out to achieve her dream, she stumbles across a dark powerful wizard who sets a curse on her and puts her through a portal to our world.  A world where she can no longer use her magic, how on Earth will she survive?

"What do you want child?" he whispered with danger lurking in every syllable he spoke. His whisper echoed in every corner of Lila's mind. She suddenly felt very confined. Confined in her own mind.

Morana, the Witch of Life by High_Priestess_Elena

Morana knows she's different from other people in more ways than one. Firstly, she's sixty-seven years old but stopped ageing in her twenties. Weird things have also happened around her right after she's wished for it. But most importantly, no matter how she acts, people feel uncomfortable around her. Unfortunately, she has no way of finding out why all of this is since she was abandoned as a baby. A shocking event makes her cross paths with Alejo, a male witch who has issues trusting other witches. But when it comes to Morana, he feels comfortable and at ease, as well as attracted to her. They are, however, not mates, and as such, he knows that any romantic relationship between them is doomed to fail. To not risk losing her, he therefore does all he can to fight his own feelings. [Can be read without having read volume one and two] ---------- Mature rating due to: smut, violence (magical mainly, but some that's rather bloody), death, attempted rape (happens in chapter 42 and will be mentions of it afterwards, fairly none-descriptive, focus is on emotions, there will NOT be a trigger warning at the beginning of the specific chapter), abuse both physically and verbally - mention of past child abuse. There is no self-harm, however, there are certain aspects that might still be triggering in that regard. If you ever have any questions about the content and potential triggers, feel free to reach out to me. I'm more than happy to specify more if need be. ---------- This series will contain the following volumes: Volume 1 - Zoe, the witch of innocence (completed) Volume 2 - Crimson, the witch of night (completed) Volume 3 - Morana, the witch of life (completed) Volume 4 - Mirai, the witch of sight (completed) Volume 5 - Danae, the witch of light (ongoing) Volume 6 - Rheseis, the faerie of love

Crimson, the Witch of Night by High_Priestess_Elena

Crimson's parents were killed by vampires when she was 6 years old. Because of that, she's sworn vengeance on all vampires and spends every night tirelessly hunting for vampires to kill. Lamech is the leader of the biggest vampire clan in the world. Since taking the leadership, he's worked without rest to stop vampires from killing to feed, as well as improve the bad reputation they have. When the two meet, Crimson believes that Lamech has turned a teenage girl into a vampire and is determined to kill him. A determination that fades as she realizes he is her mate. Instead, she decides to never accept him. As a vampire, Lamech does not feel the mate bond. He does, however, feel intrigued, worried, and confused by Crimson. He also knows that she's a danger to his kind and as such, he decides to lock her up until he's figured her out.

The Dark Witch: The Nox Haven Series by RowenaBlack

I'd Like to think I was a good person, before it all began. I didn't cheat on tests, or steal. But throughout my entire life, I was treated if I were a monster. At the age of five, after several agonizing tests, I was diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder. But not even that title could describe just how strange I was. When another kid got hurt, I would cry. Whenever someone else was told a funny joke, I would laugh hysterically. People looked at me as if I were crazy- and for while I agreed with them. That was until I, Caddie Jones, was exiled to Nox Haven Academy, a school for truly special kids. Not the mentally ill, psychotic kind of special but the magical kind. Like witches, vampires, fairies and werewolves. Call me crazy if you want, you wouldn't be the first. But the stories are all true. The supernatural did exist and I was one of them. Life there was cool until suddenly, I was faced with two-faced witches, egotistical princes, hormone driven werewolves, and an army of evil warlocks who were threatening to destroy the world. ... Maybe Nox Haven was a school for psychos after all. ---------------------------------------------------------- Highest Rank: #2 in Paranormal 1st Place winner of The Night Shift's Killer Competition 4/10/16 Illustration by: Stephanie Pitino (www.ClairObscur.fr) (1st book in series)

Bite or Howl by barbziecult

I could feel its presence from behind me. I tried walking faster, but I could feel it slowly pacing near me. I turned around, expecting a dark, hideous vampire standing behind me, but to my surprise, there was none. I turn back around to start going back to the pack house where it's safe but I realise, he's right in front of me. My breath catches in my throat as I let out a gasp. "Never seen something so beautiful, I see?" He taunts. "Make one sound and I'll bite you right here, right now." ════ *.·:·. ☽ ✧ ✦ ✧ ☾ .·:·.* ════ Phoebe Wolf, a gorgeous werewolf and daughter of the Alpha.

shadow's bargain by Blackduskm1dnight

Lila Ashbourne never believed in the supernatural. Raised in a family haunted by secrets and a past stained by tragedy, she's spent years running from the shadows that plague her bloodline. But when an enigmatic package arrives, containing one of her late father's journals, Lila is drawn back to Blackwood Hollow-a place she thought she had escaped forever. In the decaying mansion where her family's curse began, she discovers that the past is far from dead. And someone-or something-has been waiting for her return. Damien Blackthorn, the infamous heir to the Blackthorn curse, is a man of shadows and sin. With a bloodline bound to an ancient and malevolent entity, Damien has spent his life seeking redemption-or at least a way to break free from the shackles of his cursed existence. He's no stranger to darkness, but when he crosses paths with Lila, he finds himself tangled in something far more dangerous than the ghosts of his past. Their families are connected by more than fate-they share a blood debt to the same powerful force that has tormented them both. As Lila unravels the truth behind her family's curse, she finds herself at the mercy of a man whose love is as destructive as it is consuming. Torn between his cold indifference and his growing obsession, Lila must decide if she can trust Damien-or if her connection to him will only pull her deeper into the shadows. In a world where loyalty is tested, secrets lurk in every corner, and love is both a curse and a blessing, Lila and Damien are forced to confront their darkest desires. Can they break free from the chains of their bloodlines before it's too late? Or will their love consume them both in a deadly bargain with the very forces that have shaped their fates?

Losing Game by cha1nz

(TWs: gore, abuse, sexual abuse, cursing) Why does he still breathe? Why is he kept alive in this shadowed purgatory where time has no meaning, and screams are swallowed by the walls? His cell is a cage, his life a cruel experiment, and his mind a battlefield. Questions claw at him relentlessly: Who is he? What is he? Why does this torment exist? The walls bleed stories of others-lost souls whose cries still linger, haunting the air. His own voice has grown hoarse from endless screams, his body a canvas of scars, a map of suffering that tells no answers, only pain. Every day is a ritual of degradation, where faceless captors toy with his humanity, stripping him of it piece by agonizing piece. The only constant is the endless cycle of questions. Why him? Why the torture? What is their purpose? He clings to the faintest memories of a time before-fleeting images of warmth, love, a face he cannot quite recall. But even those are slipping away, devoured by the void growing inside him. In this relentless, suffocating darkness, where hope is a distant memory, only one question remains: When will the game end, and what will be left of him when it does?

The Witch's Mates by AliciaAnn24

I am just about to turn around and head down the alley toward the street when I see two shadows step away from the wall a little farther down from where I am standing. I can't see any features, but I can guess from their statures that they are both men. I don't know what species they are though, but given that they just witnessed me kill a vampire I decide it's time to get the hell out of here. At least they aren't blocking my path to the street. Just as that thought crosses my mind, I hear the back door to the club open and close. I don't want to take my eyes off the men in front of me, but I have to see who just walked out. To assess the new danger. Before turning to look though, I pull out my remaining weapon also hidden in my boot. A silver dagger. It's only really good for killing werewolves, but it can do some damage to other supernaturals too. I give the figures in front of me one last look, they haven't moved at all, and then glance behind me. My breath stops for a moment, and it feels like my heart stops along with it. *** Willow is a witch who hunts down and kills other supernaturals. After the Great Massacre of the Wiccan Community, their population had been decimated. So while they try to rebuild their population and plan their revenge, they take out as many supernaturals as they can. But everything changes for Willow when she meets Keaton, Everett, Aizen, and Devlin. *** *This is a fantasy reverse-harem romance novel. It will have mature themes, including but not limited to, violence, sexual themes, sexual scenes (including light BDSM), abuse, and mentions of rape.
