Nothing says home like the smell of freshly baked bread. Except in Maya position, it's a bakery.
Maya (pronounced Mae-ya) is just a normal 18 year old girl helping her mother run their bakery, which is - simply called 'The Bakery'. It's a family business that has been going strong for 30 years.
It's extremely well known - to be honest, it's unlikely that Russia don't know about it by now. Everyone in Maya's old high school would badger her to get them free cakes so they could "throw them at the teachers" but everyone knows they wanted to stuff their faces. Maya never agreed. While she was in school, she was seen as smart, confident and kind, which would be a reasonable description of her. Over the year she's been in work, she managed to scrape up enough money to buy herself a small one-bedroom apartment in the city. Although she only has a couch and numerious baking supplies, she's making do for now.
But a sudden question hits her ... Is this really what she wants?

Cassius and Sofia cross paths and their lives seem to intertwine from the get-go. The pull is undeniable but only Cassius knows what their connection is. Too bad he must first deal with the threat of rogue vampire hunters, and the possibility that Sofia's grandfather had been intentionally harmed before he can have his beautiful Destined by his side.

A Vamp and a Wolf
! Kylie Cantrall and Malia Baker, the biggest rivals in Cherrish High but there's a lot they don't know about each other. Malia Baker, a werewolf hidden with her twin Mk. Malia is a calm, kept-to-herself person, except for when it comes to Kylie. Malia and Mk grew up in an abusive home that was a living hell, but no one outside of those walls ever knew. They have an unknown third sibling that they've only heard about once or twice. The wolves knew how to control their power and keep from "wolfing out" on people...unlike Kylie Cantrall. Kylie Cantrall, a popular track runner and "Queen of high school" on the outside. But on the inside is where the truth is. Kylie was a vampire, and no one knew. Well, no one except Liamani, her younger sister, their father, their mother (who was out of the picture) and her best friend, Ruby. Kylie grew up in a loving home with her dad, her sister, and herself. Everything was great...Until it wasn't. One day, Kylie woke up with the police at their door, claiming their father had died in a mysterious, unknown accident. Neither of the sisters were old enough to contain their vampire craves. Lucky for them, their father left technology for them to keep them safe...and others safe from them. A/N: I've never written before so bear with me. THERE WILL be parts with: abuse, drinking, smoking, and others and I'm telling you now because I will probably forget to put warnings for those but If there are any inappropriate parts there will be a warning. But I don't really know how I feel about writing smut...

You own a little bakery shop and everyday was the same. Wake up, go to work, bake, and then back to sleep. You were actually ok with these repeating events. Might as well be grateful for what you have instead of wanting more right?? Well all of it changes when a new customer decides To show up. What happens?? Friendship?? Romance?? Angst?? Read and find out😉 Warning for y'all I am sort of lazy and lose motivation Pretty fast so I don't know how long this will last. Another Warning I'm dyslexic so there is bound to be spelling errors that I won't notice. Also I'll try to post chapters specifically between weeks. So if I don't post in a while know that it's the week where I take a break. Ok enjoy!!😊Complete
