The Last Aetherwyn: Mated to the Alpha Prince

“You really think you can own me, Alpha?” Isaldora’s voice was sharp, dripping venom. “I’ll never bow to this bond. I despise you. You and your entire damn kind.” Kaelith’s jaw flexed, teeth grinding, but his eyes stayed locked on hers. “You don’t mean that,” he muttered, voice low, rough. He stepped closer, heat rolling off him, his breath brushing her lips. Her eyes faltered for just a second making his lips curled into a cocky smirk. “You can say what you want, love, but you don’t despise me. Not even close.” Her chest tightened, the mate bond pulling at her like invisible chains. She glared, fighting the hitch in her breath. “I’ll ruin you.” “Then ruin me,” Kaelith growled, closing the distance. His breath was hot against her skin, his voice dipped lower, darker. “Every damn second you try only ties you tighter to me.” She scoffed but it sounded more like a ragged breath. “I hate you to the core.” The words slipped out sharp, but it sounded more like she was trying to convince herself than him. “No, baby,” Kaelith rasped, dragging her flush against him. He buried his face in the curve of her neck, taking a deep, deliberate inhale, like her very scent was his lifeline. His lashes flickered shut, and when his eyes snapped open, they were dilated—dark, ravenous, dangerous. “Your core doesn’t hate me,” he growled low, voice thick with heat. His lips brushed her ear, his teeth grazing just enough to make her shiver. “Your core loves me—aches for me, begs for me.” Her eyes flew wide, breath catching in her throat as he crushed the space between them, Her breath hitched as his teeth grazed her neck. She fought the moan that almost slipped her mouth. “I’m not trapping you,” he muttered against her skin. “I’m just helping you to realize that every time you push me away, I feel you pulling me back.” Her pulse hammered, her breath ragged — and she hated it. Hated him. Hated the way her body betrayed her. “I’ll ruin you,” she whispered again, this time softer. Kaelith’s smirk eased into something warmer, something that made her chest ache. His thumb brushed slowly along her jaw. “Then ruin me,” he said softly. “But stop lying to yourself about us.” Isaldora Vaneese Aetherwyn is the last of her bloodline. She lived through the massacre that wiped out her coven — and for six years, she’s been burning for vengeance. One by one, she’s hunted her enemies down, breaking them in the cruelest ways. Everything is going to plan. She’s close… so close to the one behind it all. Until she meets him. Kaelith Duskbane — heir to the Duskhowl Pack. He’s everything she hates: dominant, relentless, dangerously handsome… and worst of all, her enemy. The Alpha Prince who hides his heart behind cold steel, who’s spent years waiting for a mate he thought would never come. Now that he’s found her, he refuses to let go. She’s the last witch of a fallen royal bloodline, sworn to vengeance. He’s the ruthless Alpha Prince who would do anything to keep his fated mate. A witch mated to a werewolf? It was an impossible bond. She swears she’ll break it. He swears she’ll stay. But while they clash in a dangerous dance of fire and fury, desire and hate, shadows older and darker than both of them are beginning to stir. And soon, they’ll realize nothing — not their enemies, not their families, not even each other — is what it seems.

The Children Of Law And Chaos

In the nation of Arcanis, the Church rules with an iron creed--only those it deems worthy may wield sorcery by conversing with the Law, the divine order of all things. Any other who dare speak to it are branded as heretics and executed. In the town of Orrinwick, Alexandra Vale lives with her family--beloved and faithful. But they do not serve the Church. They are member of the True Faithful--a secretive organization that worships the Lord like the Church but it does not opress others. Instead, it believes that sorcery is a blessing meant for all, and they dream of overthrowing the Church’s oppressive rule so that every person may be able to experience conversing with the divine word of the Lord. Alexandra's family dreamt the same. But dreams shatter. And so, when the Inquisitors arrive to hunt Alexandra and her family down, her parents sacrifice themselves to give the two siblings a chance at escape. But that was not the end of it. Even after fleeing to Belmire, a strange existence haunts Alexandra's dreams every night. And Adam begins to push himself beyond his limit to protect the only precious thing of his left in the world. While the twins begin to unravel, Connin Martyns spends peaceful days in the capital of Arcanis as a blessed child. Until one day, he begins having visions of a calamity soon to be born that could upend the delicate balance of the world in the future. In the city of Belmire, Elijah Graceford is bored with his life as a noble, with nothing exciting or thrilling enough. As he struggles with constant blackouts and boredom, an insatiable void whispers in his mind to hunt for prey every day. As all the characters in the play wrestle with haunting pasts and an unknown future, tensions between nations reach their peak and prophecies are fulfilled. *** Set in a world that has reached the end of its Medieval Era and is faced with the discovery of steam machinery, follow Alexandra and many other complex characters on a journey full of tragedy and despair, guilt and regret, discovery and growth, perhaps a bit of romance and happiness, but most importantly--tons of Chaos.
