    "Stop right there." Confused, I turned around. "What? I thought we're rushing?" "We are, but apparently you need me to explain the rules to you again." I crossed my arms in front of my chest. "You want me to be quiet and look pretty. It's not that hard to understand," I sighed. "I'm not going to embarrass you, don't worry." He didn't seem convinced. "I'm serious. Behave." Behave? I arched an eyebrow at him. "I don't know if you've forgotten, but I am not your submissive." Something flickered in his eyes. "Believe me, if you were my submissive, you'd be over my knee right now for your tone and that eye roll a minute ago." Book THREE and the grande finale of the Westminster Academy series :) *updates every Monday, 7pm (GMT)* --- the whole book is already available as an ebook on Patreon (link in bio) ---

"We can walk through any hell the world throws at us," he whispers finally before presses his lips against mine. ~~~~ After Hailey Arrette Kane is found as being a second child to Coralie Kane, she is forced into the Skybox per her sister's request. Her sister, Arlo Riv Kane, managed to convince her dad and the council that she needed to die in Hailey's place, allowing Hailey to live just as long as she did but in the Skybox. After her 21st birthday, which marked her fourth year in the Skybox, the council made a decision. They were going to send 100 delinquents to the ground as an experiment to see whether the level of radiation was survivable or not.

With the idea of freedom, Hailey knows that she is never safe and that if weaknesses are shown, someone will use them against her.

Milena, an obedient teenager, has to team up with the supernatural creatures she was taught to fear in order to escape the people she once loved. ***** In a world where humans must hide underground to stay safe from the creatures who roam the night, Milena's life as an outcast is hardly worth noticing. But on the day her village is attacked and her life is spared by the mysterious Elias, Milena is forced to throw everything she thought she knew about her world out the window. Because while Elias looks just as human as she is, he's actually the leader of a pack of wolf shifters, and the bond she feels with him compels her to start asking questions about the things she's been told about the creatures of the night. Because if her village was willing to lie about something like this, what other secrets might they be keeping from her?

    "You wrotе me a note, cast a spell on my hеart and bewitched me." ------ *ੈ✩‧₊˚ Since the fateful day that Edalyn Clawthorne rescued you from the boiling rain, you've been facing a war waged on the system that prides itself upon the elimination of your kind. Since the fateful day that Emperor Belos took responsibility over Hunter, he's been facing that same war - unknowingly affiliated with the side of the oppressors. Iniquity and purity. Savage and tame. Wild and coven. Does anyone even know the true meaning of those words, or are they simply means to pit youths of the same generation against one another? At any rate, you never expected to find yourself thrust in the middle of the war against the empire. And you definitely never expected to find yourself falling for the right-hand of its leader. Whatever, that's life. You never know what it'll throw at you. But now that you think of it... you don't quite know yourself either, do you? ------ *ੈ✩‧₊˚ "BEWITCHED",, HUNTER X GN!READER. - ROMANCE: CURRENTLY IN "SUUUPPPEEERRRR CLOSE FRIENDS" STAGE. - STORY: CURRENTLY IN "PRE-UNITY" ARC. - NOTICES 1: The title may be misleading. While this is definitely an 'x reader,' the fic is not centered on the romance and has its own narrative and story. Just an FYI. 2: Due to this being my first fan fiction, you will notice me developing my writing style over the course of the fic. I am highly nostalgic, so with the exception of a few revisions, the old chapters will remain unchanged. Please bear with the initial formatting, writing style, and potential errors. A rewrite, however, is in the cards in the future upon story completion. Thanks!! xx

    It's been almost a hundred years since Earth's civilizations fell, leaving only ruins and memories. Long before the collapse, they began taking humans, but now, everyone knows who they are and they fear them. The few who manage to return from their captivity tell stories of how these creatures treat humans like animals or children, tending to them like pets or slaves. Most survivors live in hidden cities, avoiding the ancient ruined cities at all costs. But not Jace and his crew. As a group of Stray Humans, they've made the decaying cities their home, roaming the forgotten streets, never staying in one place for long, and bringing all their skills to the table. They are a family, working together to make sure those things, Aliens, never take another human as long as they are near. When the aliens of A.C.R. (Animal Care and Rescue) find a new group of humans wandering the ruins of a large city, they think it will be an easy capture. But they soon learn that these particular humans have more willpower than most. They dodge every trap, disappear around every bend, and even manage to take some of the already captured humans with them. The aliens pity these "little creatures"-they just don't want to leave their home, but Earth is falling apart at the seams, and they are determined to take the stubborn little humans to the safety of one of the mother planets. No matter the cost. Warning - This story may have -Self harm -Rape -Abuse -Suicidal thoughts and actions -Violence and gore -Uncomfortable scenes (If this isn't your first alien pet book, you know what I'm talking about)

    Short Preview: Her breath hitched as she looked up, her gaze finding Remi's face in the candlelight. The soft glow brushed against her cheekbones and lines of her scars. Nova's heart clenched, her throat tight as realization washed over her. Nova didn't see Remi as something small or distant. No, Remi felt infinite. Endless. She wasn't the moon in the sky. Or the stars. Remi was the whole damn galaxy. . . . In 2074, a catastrophic A.I. failure shattered the world. Cities crumbled, nations vanished, and what remained of the United States retreated beneath a single fortified Dome-humanity's last sanctuary. By 2242, life inside the Dome is rigid, monitored, and suffocating. Beyond its walls lies a mutated wasteland where nothing survives for long. Each year, twenty-five citizens are chosen and sent outside. None have ever returned. But this year, the Dome's perfect lies begin to crack. The Chosen are about to uncover a world far more dangerous-and far more alive-than they were ever allowed to believe. Out there, truth is poison, loyalty breaks easily, and love can become the most lethal weapon of all. Because once you step beyond the Dome, survival isn't guaranteed. And neither is who you become. . . . (This story contains a wlw/gxg/lesbian love story. It is a slow burn, but I promise that it's epic!) #1 under #wasteland 10/17/25

He wanted color. And he saw a promising beginning in the sea green of Finnick Odair's eyes.
