"I'm ready to go home now," Tinsley spoke through heavy breath.
The crimson pool expanded across the snow, filling her nostrils with a sickening metallic smell. She closed her eyes and recalled dinner around the plankwood kitchen table, Addie and Matthew beside her. To see the sun rising behind Pan's Peak, shedding rays of light across the lawn of the Livings Ranch. Pleasant Valley had always been just that: pleasant.
But that was before her parents disappeared. Before Matthew was lost, swallowed up in the perils of Alpin Wood.
And---oh, God-- now this.
No, things would never be the same, and there was no going home now.
Thanks for checking out In Alpin Wood. I truly hope you enjoy!!! It has been a project of mine for three years, and I will post a new chapter each Monday until the story is completely posted. Love, Mary Katherine

The Door That Stayed
Ten years ago, Kael vanished without a word. He left behind a best friend, a grieving girl who had just lost her mother-and a promise that he would always come back for her. Aria survived. She married, had a son, buried her husband, and built her life around strength she never wanted to need. Now widowed, she lives close to Kael's family, raising Leo with the help of loyal friends, never expecting to see the boy who once swore he'd never let her go. But Kael is no boy anymore. His wolf has awakened, fierce and unrelenting, dragging him back to the valley he swore he'd return to. Haunted by scars, shadowed by secrets, Kael finds more than home waiting for him-he finds Aria. The girl he left. The woman he still can't forget. Only, he's not the only one who wants her. His twin brother Silas-beautiful, ruthless, and just as cursed-has his own claim. And when Aria discovers she is bound to both of them by fate itself, desire turns dangerous, and loyalty becomes war. Caught between two brothers-one who abandoned her, one who tempts her-Aria must decide who to trust, who to love, and whether her heart can survive the bond of wolves. Dark romance. Forbidden bonds. A family built in the ashes of ruin.Complete
The Phantom of the Woods
In the quiet, superstitious town of Hollow's End, whispers circulate about a boy who lives deep in the woods-a boy cursed with half the face of a skeleton, feared by all who dare to speak his name. The townspeople warn that the forest is haunted, urging everyone to stay far from its shadowy borders. Lily, a daring 19-year-old who has never believed in old tales, sneaks into the woods one night, driven by her unshakable curiosity. There, she meets Kael, a mysterious and brooding figure whose life has been marred by a curse that forced him into isolation. Kael, now 23, lives alone in a secluded cabin, hiding behind a mask that conceals the skeletal half of his face. To his surprise, Lily isn't frightened by his appearance-she sees past the curse to the man he truly is. As the two grow closer, their bond begins to challenge the very beliefs that have kept Kael isolated for years. But the curse that haunts Kael runs deeper than anyone in the town knows. As Lily delves into the mystery of what really happened to Kael, she discovers that the curse isn't just about his appearance-it's tied to a dark secret that could destroy them both. In The Phantom of the Woods, Lily and Kael must face the unknown together, unearthing the truth behind the curse and testing whether love can break through the barriers of fear and isolation. Their journey leads them into the heart of the forest's darkness, where secrets, danger, and the very essence of Kael's humanity are at stake.Complete

The Silver Bond || MxM novel (ON HOLD)
In the fractured land of Nerathys, where humans and spirit-bound warriors once fought side by side, a fragile peace is maintained by ancient magic. The heir to the empire's throne of the empire Caelthar, Prince Kael, is taken captive after a failed rebellion. Instead of being executed, he is given as a blood-bound servant to Lord Arion, the cold and ruthless commander of the empire's ghostbound armies - soldiers fused with the souls of the dead. But Arion is not what he seems. Bound to a ghost named Lyra, he's cursed with both immense power and a growing madness. When Kael is forced to serve him, he discovers the truth: Arion's soul is fading, and only Kael's bloodline magic can keep him tethered to the world. As Kael struggles to survive, he discovers a terrifying truth: only his bloodline magic can keep Arion-and the empire itself-from unraveling. Will Kael make it out alive? Will he build a relationship of trust and friendship with the Lord or perhaps even something more? Or will it be the ruin of the only chance of fixing what should be right? *** Contains violence, strong language, and other mature themes. Read on your own risk!

It Wasn't Love ✔️
"Fuck." He whispers into my neck, sending a thrill of excitement through my body. His lips still smothered kisses over my neck and his hands roamed my body, starting at my chest, going down to my stomach. Caressing my soft skin, his thumb trailed circles on my groin before slightly slipping into the waistband of my jeans. My breath catches in my throat as I pull at the hoodie that covered his chiselled body. Understanding, Jacob pulls it off in one swift movement before attaching his lips back on my neck. Sucking and biting it before flicking his tongue over the sore spot. A quiet moan leaves my mouth and I clasp my hand over it, denying any noise to escape. "You drive me fucking crazy, Aria." ---------------------------- Aria Bailey finds it hard to fit in. Her parents are always busy and never have time for her.

Childhood Sweethearts
#1 Teen Fiction | #1 Young Adult | #1 Romance "We all need someone to drive us mad." - The Wombats. He stared arrogantly down at me, a smirk plastered across his face. I sneered up at him with distaste, wanting to wrap my fingers around his neck and strangle that smirk off of him. He brushed my golden hair from my face, his long, slender fingers sparking electricity in my skin, making my knees wobble together. "Will you ever, forgive me?" he whispered huskily, his eyes intently staring into mine. His face was only mere inches from me. I just needed to reach out a little further to kiss him... "Yeah. Over my dead body." I snapped, before throwing my arms out forcefully, shoving my hands into his chest, pushing him from me. -*-*-*- He, is Carter Williams. I, am Lacey Adams. We were once, inseparable. The 'Golden Couple'. The unbreakable best friends, that everybody envied. Nothing could get between us. A part from being tighter than white on rice, we updated our status from friends to being in a relationship, frequently. We were neighbours, which meant our families were all close and even co-owned houses around our town. This, all is, until the day of my sixteenth birthday. Everything changed. The loving relationship we shared, was severed and torn apart. I couldn't hardly stand to look at him any more, without spitting fire that is. Every day is torture being around him. He was in all my classes at school and the window in my room was even directly aligned with his. So, what happens? My mother's mum gets sick, so dad and her fly out. Just them. Leaving me to stay with Carter and his parents, who are never home. We would be alone. In one house. Under the same roof. If I was insane before, I have no idea what I am now. © 2016 by LaurenJ22.
