BOOK 1 OF THE POSSESSIVE SERIES (UNDERGOING EDITING) ALL BOOKS FROM THIS SERIES CAN BE READ AS A STAND ALONE. The fine line between love and obsession is so thin that it's almost invisible. At least, it is to Anastacius, the Emperor of Rome. He fell in love with the sound of her voice before he even saw her face. By the time he finally did, it was already too late. Valeria was warmth and wit wrapped in silk and defiance; a woman who did not bow easily, not even to a man who commanded the greatest Empire. Anastacius had been raised to conquer, never being denied a single thing he desired. Until her. She was light where he was shadow, mercy where he was ruthless. And the more she resisted the gilded cage of his devotion, the tighter his grip became. He told himself it was love. He told himself he was protecting her. But empires are not built on tenderness, and hearts are far easier to break than kingdoms. This is the story of how he made her his. The story of how he lost her. And the story of how far an emperor will go when the only thing he cannot command is the woman he calls his Empress. *** THIS BOOK CONTAINS DARK THEMES, ABUSIVE CONTENT INCLUDING EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL VIOLENCE, WHICH MAY MAKE SOME READERS UNCOMFORTABLE SO VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.

Chase and I (Ben) are both here to answer your questions! Just about any random question is welcome! And if you come from my previous book *Pups Save the World* and have questions about American society, the economy, general political philosophy, religion, or even the meaning of life, feel free to ask away! Both Chase and I are at your service! However, as of Tuesday, March 3, 2026, while we are open to big ideas and principles, this Q&A will not cover detailed discussion of ongoing geopolitical conflicts or real-time international crises. Note: This book is a spinoff from my previous book *Pups Save the World: A Satirical PAW Patrol Fanfiction* (https://www.wattpad.com/story/402662031). Although it is highly recommended to check that book out, it is not mandatory for asking Chase and me any questions. Additionally, the idea for this book is not originally mine; it was inspired by a Q&A with Skye written by @dearie-maissa (formerly @Amazing_Skye, her account has unfortunately been deleted 😭).

Two questions have started playing on her mind: what is keeping her in LA? What is she waiting for? Sneak peek: "What were you waiting for staring out at the ocean?" "You. I was waiting for my hero lawyer. I was waiting for you. I've been waiting for you for 15 years." "I'm here. I've been waiting for you too."

AETHER: The Way Forward Cael wants to see the world for himself. To do that, he enters Elarion Aether Academy, where students learn to control Aether through five affinities that shape the body, matter, perception, space, and connection.

Every new technique changes the way he sees Aether.

It had been four years since the Legend of the Dragonets of Destiny. From their original fame of ending the twenty year long war of The Sandwing Succession to the near crisis that was Darkstalker and finally the end of the Breath of Evil. Now every dragonet dreamed of joining the Jade Mountain Academy, not only to learn from teachers and tutors talon picked by the ten Kingdom's but to also dream of living up to their legacy. Peacemaker, along with his cousins Dauntless and Freedom, had finally made the day of their first school year in the Academy. He already felt honoured enough to be related to the legendary Starflight and Fatespeaker but the excitment of joining their school had been eating at his scales for moons! But on his first day, something started happening to his powers. Strangely and almost randomly his mind reading would distort and made reading dragons mind near impossible. Not only that but he and his cousin, Dauntless, both keep foreseeing two of the three moons vanishing. What can the dragonets do? What is happening to Peacemaker's powers? And more importantly, what does this mean for his animus abilities? On a different rift of time, Brambleclaw of Thunderclan had just received a strange prophecy from Starclan.

What both dragons and cats don't know yet, is what is brewing right underneath their noses. (This is a Wings of Fire crossover with Warrior Cars.

Now she is trapped in a gilded cage of silk gowns, polite smiles, and a marriage that has become more prison than partnership. But when one reckless night leads her into the orbit of the notorious pirate ship The Siren's Song, Anne seizes the chance to escape the life that has been chosen for her. Disguised as a swabbie and hiding among thieves, smugglers, and killers, Anne is thrust into a brutal world where survival must be earned.

As Anne learns the unforgiving rules of pirate life, tensions ignite between her and the captain who seems to see far more than he should. But the sea is merciless, the British Empire is closing in, and freedom always demands a sacrifice. Caught between loyalty, desire, and the ghosts of the life she abandoned, Anne must decide who she truly wishes to become: The obedient wife society expects... Or the pirate she was always destined to be.
