After some thought, I decided to repost Guardian alongside Fearless. I wrote both of these books when I was really young, and it certainly shows. It’s partly why I took them down in the first place. However, it was a big part of my life then and a big part of yours as well judging by some of the messages in my inbox, and it’s worth keeping up for that alone.

Thanks to everyone who notified me of the stolen work on Amazon. I have reported this user. In the meantime, I put it back up for everyone to enjoy FOR FREE on Wattpad as intended.

@squigmo annoying that it was indeed a stolen version! I'm happy I can reread it here!

Glad it got taken down! It’s truly sad when people steal your work. Hope all is going well ☺️ 
            
            Still feel like it was yesterday when you were starting the fearless rewrite. Laughing our butts off at the gifs Kassidy added in the outline, life has changed so much and so little at the same time since then

Hi! I was coming back to see how the stories were doing, but I saw you took them down. While I know you had your reasons, it does sadden me to see them unpublished again. 
          
          What user @_Elsi_ said about the story being on Amazon is true. I didn't purchase or download to see if it is a complete plagiarism of your work since I didn't want to support that person for a literal crime. The names used in the description are the same as your story, and the description of the book follows what you have written, too. I don't know if this is why you took your stories down, but if it is, that makes your reasons even more understandable. It is disheartening to see people steal other people's hard work and I hope there is some way to get the other book unpublished or justice for you for having your book stolen.
          
          I'm so sorry this has happened.

Hello,
          
          Are you aware a version of Fearless is on Amazon? Some words are changed, and it's only up to the first wolf scene, but it's sold under the name "Fearless: a mulan retelling" by Serena Callahan. I think it might be a pirated version.

I'm not sure if you'll see this, since I don't know how active you are on Wattpad anymore, but I just want to show my appreciation to your books. 
          
          I just wanted to say that these books hold a precious place in my heart and I absolutely love and adore the world you built within them. I revisit them frequently. They have become somewhat of comfort books for me. I love that these books show your growth as an author. From the beginning of Fearless to the end of Guardian, you have created something great. 
          
          From a previous conversation, you mentioned a project you’ve been working on outside of Wattpad and that was the reason you unpublished all the works, but decided to reupload the first two completed works. I wish you the GREATEST of luck with your project! I truly hope it all works out for you. I'm excited to (hopefully) hear more on that, too, when it comes to fruition. 
          
          If you were ever to consider revisiting this world you have created, know I would jump, run, hop, skip, you name it, at the opportunity to see your world expanded upon and see the characters and their relationships again. Along with possibly seeing the early chapters of Legend again >.> and seeing where that could have gone if continued.
          
          (I remember being SO EXCITED when you teased the third book and almost combusting when you uploaded that first chapter of the third book all those years ago. Tbh, I might have the same reaction if you were ever to pick up this world again) 
          
          Just know your books are making an impact on at least one person, despite what you think of them now as you’ve grown and improved your own writing abilities since first publishing them. Again, all the luck to you. I truly, truly hope you achieve what you are striving for.

@DreamMystical Hello there. I still visit the site from time to time. :) Comments like these still mean the world to me and encourage me to keep going. It's definitely harder to write without you guys. I am working on a large scale fantasy epic named Silent Devils right now and it has pretty much dominated my writing since I began.*fingers crossed*.   I am working now on my second draft of the book as we speak!   It will be finished by November if things keep as they are. I've kept it offline because traditional publishers frown upon that type of thing., which I plan to shoot for before self publishing. It will get published regardless so you haven't seen the last of me!

            Of course, don't take this as me pressuring you or being angry/upset you left this series. I just wanted to share my love and appreciation to this series. I understand life has a way of changing plans and paths. I'm just glad you were able to travel this path through the first two books. I wish for great things for you in your life and the future paths ahead of you!
            
            (just know, a very small part of my in the very back of my head holds hope of you someday returning to this series, even if the chances of that aren't in my favor.)
            
            Thank you for keeping them up on Wattpad <3

I’m so incredibly happy you’re ok! I was worried something had happened to you. Fearless and Guardian were so important to me and I’d always read them when I was feeling down. Please let me know when you publish further works aside from this, I’d love to support you.
