I'm a Gay Wizard (Wattpad Books Edition)
WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION You do magic once, and it sticks to you like glitter glue... When Johnny and his best friend, Alison, pass their summer holidays dabbling in magic, they never expect it to have consequences. Sure, it'd be great if they could banish bullies or change their lives for the better, and what harm could come from lighting a few candles and chanting a few spells? They get their answer in the form of an earthquake unleashed at their behest, which draws the attention of the Marduk Institute, an age-old organization dedicated to fostering the talents of young wizards. Whisked away to the institute and told they can never return to their old lives, Johnny and Alison must quickly adapt to a new world shimmering with monsters, fraternities, and cute boys like Hunter and Blake. But when they're pulled into a dark, supernatural fight that could cost them their lives, they'll have to find strength they never knew they had as they battle for love, acceptance, and their own happy endings -- all with the help of a little bit of magic.Complete![No Place For Me | [boyxboy]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/181466534-256-k47105.jpg)

The Hunted (LGBT+)
Parker's life was supposed to be simple-wake up, work, survive another day. That all changes the night he's attacked by a wolf... and saved by another. Only this one doesn't stay a wolf for long. When the creature shifts into a man with piercing blue eyes and an attitude to match, Parker's thrown into a world he didn't know existed-one of packs, power, and prophecy. Kohl, the future Alpha of his pack, was only meant to retrieve the human and bring him in. But the more time he spends around Parker, the more impossible that mission becomes. Because the "ordinary human" he rescued? He's not ordinary at all. As Parker begins to manifest dangerous new abilities, enemies close in. Rogue wolves are rising. Secrets are surfacing. And somewhere between the chaos, fate has already decided- the Alpha and the human are bound. Now, Parker isn't just running for his life. He's running from destiny.Complete![Essence of Purity [boyxboy]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/324589089-256-k65483.jpg)
Essence of Purity [boyxboy]
Book 1 of Rewritten: The Inamorate Saga. The great reveal had been beneficial for some. Elves, particularly, with their beauty and grace and quiet manipulation of the world around them. They thrived in the light, able to infiltrate human structure with ease, carving out a place for their kind at the most crucial of times. Their leaders set down territory lines, segregating cities and even states for themselves, for the growth of their people. They flourished, building their empire on the backs of those withered beneath. Fae, however, didn't find such a foothold. They remained in the darkness, hidden away in the tangles of forest untouched by humans, trapped within their clans. The dark ages reigned through those woodlands, void of modern technology and any shade of defiance. Monarchs ruled, surrounded by warriors, enforcing their law upon the common people. Outside, there was talk of abuse, of forced subjugation, whispers from those fae that had made it, that had escaped. Salem had chosen to remain silent. Five years had passed, not a soul knew of the clan he had fled. He had a family, three brothers who had taken him in, who had chosen to house him rather than barter money for the purity he still held. There was a normality to the world, to the life that Salem had forged. There was no reason for change, nothing to draw him back into that inky abyss he had clawed out of. Nothing but a tree flowering ivory petals housed in the estate of one of the most influential elves in their city...Complete![Heir To My Heart[Book1]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/390375917-256-k661623.jpg)
