          Welcome to the 7 Hunter Examination trials! Here:
          
          Trial One: The Whispering Wilds
          Setting: A vast, shifting forest filled with ancient trees, strange flora, and elusive magical beasts.
           Challenge: Track rare creatures, survive unpredictable terrain, and resist the forest’s eerie illusions — all while racing against time.
          ⏳ Time Limit: 7 days
          ️ Trust your instincts. The forest doesn’t forgive mistakes.
          
          Trial Two: Subterranean Ascent – “Buried Beneath”
          Setting: A sprawling underground labyrinth.
          ️ Candidates awaken bruised, disoriented, and buried alive with one message on their holographic bracelets: “Escape is required. Use anything to dig toward the surface.”
          ⚠️ Traps, wild creatures, and other candidates may stand in your way.
          ⏳ Time Limit: 7 days

          ️ The winds whisper riddles. The dunes re-shape with every step.
           To pass, you must find the Anchor of Truth — but beware, not all paths are real, and not all who wander will return.
          ⏳ Time Limit: 7 days
          ️ Walk alone or unite. The desert doesn’t care.

✨ ANNOUNCEMENT: A New Story Begins — RAVENOUS is Coming Soon!✨
          
          Dear readers,
          
          First and foremost, thank each of you for your patience and understanding during my long silence. I haven't updated anything for more than two months due to the passing of a dear family member. It's been a time of deep reflection and healing, and I genuinely appreciate your quiet support through it all.
          
          But now, with a heart slowly mending and a mind once again stirred by creativity, I'm thrilled to share that I'm returning to my writing journey—and I'm bringing something bold, fierce, and emotionally charged with me.
          
          Introducing my latest project:  RAVENOUS 
          
          A new romantic fantasy-adventure series filled with action, betrayal, survival, and a hunger that can't be silenced.
          
           Chapter Updates: Every Tuesday & Friday (as usual!)
          
           Genres: Romance | Fantasy | Adventure | Action
          
           About the Story:
          
          AERIS was once a hopeful young mage who trusted the Magic Government to protect her by sealing her powers. She thought safety meant obedience. She was wrong. Hunted by the cult of the Broken Star and betrayed by those she once called allies, Aeris finds herself wounded and alone—until a mystical attack sends her spiraling into the heart of Nemophilist Forest, a deadly, magical wilderness owned by the enigmatic Hunter Association.
          
          Here, amid brutal survival trials that challenge every inch of her magic, will, and soul, she meets LUTHER—a mysterious man whose inexhaustible energy becomes the one thing Aeris desperately needs to sustain her ravenous, devouring power. What begins as a desperate partnership evolves into something far more dangerous.
          
          This bond could defy fate, unravel ancient conspiracies, and challenge the forces manipulating the world behind the curtain.
          
          Thank you again for staying with me through silence. Now, let the story roar back to life.
          
          With love and fire,
          
          [B&M]

Exciting Updates for My Readers!
          
          I’m thrilled to share that my book, Devoured by Him: Experiment 03, is officially complete!  This story holds a special place in my heart as it marks my first-ever published book to reach completion. Writing it has been an incredible journey, and I’m so grateful for all the love and support you’ve shown along the way. You can enjoy the entire story on the Dreame platform without reading it. Your feedback and encouragement have made this achievement even more precious to me. I hope you’ll continue to share your thoughts as you dive into the final chapters.
          
          On a different note, I want to address The Bites. Unfortunately, this book will be on hiatus as I’ve hit an idea block. Creativity sometimes has its own timeline, and I want to ensure that when I return to it, I can deliver the story you all deserve.
          
          Looking ahead to 2025, I’m excited to announce that I will focus on two brand-new projects: Greedy Mrs Dragon and North. These stories are bursting with ideas and inspiration, and I can’t wait to bring them to life for you. Both projects are incredibly dear, and I’m pouring my heart into crafting something truly special.
          
          To all my readers, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your unwavering support. Your love for my stories inspires me to keep growing as a writer, and I’m committed to delivering better and more exciting tales in the future. I hope you’ll continue this journey with me as I work hard to bring stories that ignite your imagination.
          
          Here’s to new beginnings and endless creativity! 
          
          Warmly,
          Biscotti Macaron

Book- Devoured By Him: Experiment 03
          Question: What if Lycus forgot all about Dr. Barbara?
          
          He stepped closer again, their bodies inches apart. “You’re watching me,” he said, his voice a rough whisper.
          
          Barbara felt the flush in her cheeks deepen, her voice caught in her throat. “I—” She couldn’t find the words. The truth was, she was watching him—every inch of him—and it was becoming harder to hide the way he affected her.
          
          Lycus smiled, a slow, predatory smile, as if he could read her thoughts. His hand reached up, his fingers brushing a strand of her hair behind her ear. The gesture was unexpectedly tender, yet it sent her pulse racing even faster.
          
          “You should be careful, Barbara,” he murmured, his voice dark and enticing. “I’m not the same man you remember.”

Book, 'The Bites'
          
          Introduction to Breanna "Brea"
          
          Appearance:
          
          Brea is a 26-year-old woman with long, wavy dark brown hair, often tied back in a messy ponytail or bun. Her sharp green eyes, marked by dark circles from sleepless nights, reveal her relentless vigilance. With a lean, athletic build and a few visible scars from past confrontations, Brea is a survivor in every sense. She wears practical, worn clothing—jeans, a simple t-shirt, a leather jacket, and scuffed sturdy boots—and carries a backpack with essentials, always prepared for the unexpected.
          
          Background:
          
          Before the outbreak, Brea was a freelance professional photographer with a passion for adventure and nature. Her keen eye for detail and ability to uncover hidden truths made her a respected figure in her field. As an orphan, she had left her close friends and hometown to escape her problems, seeking solace in the wild.
          
          Personality:
          
          Brea is observant, determined, compassionate, and resilient. However, she is prone to stress, holds grudges, and often struggles with feelings of hopelessness. Despite these challenges, she remains steadfast in her mission to protect Milo and survive the horrors of their world. Her determination is unwavering, even as she grapples with her inner demons and searches for a sense of belonging and family.
          
          Habits:
          
          Under heavy stress, Brea sometimes cries but never loses her resolve to endure and overcome the obstacles in her path. Her primary motivation is the safety and well-being of Milo, which drives her to keep fighting and pushing forward in their perilous journey.
