    Bastovar is a city of quiet wars. Above its rain-soaked streets, people gather in warm cafés, music drifts through the night, and life appears almost ordinary. Below the surface, mercenaries fight in hidden arenas, Variant powers shape the balance of the world, and the ancient dynasties hold the city together through fragile alliances. What begins as a seemingly stranger listening from the corner of a room slowly becomes something deeper-something dangerous. Because in Bastovar, even a song can start a war. And the Wolves may have just found the one person he can't walk away from.

    In a world dominated by werewolves, Odette leads a simple, human life until what was supposed to be the best day of her life, her wedding day, takes a nightmarish turn. Luca, a powerful world-leader and Alpha, claims her as his mate, which forces her into a desperate fight for her freedom. Now on the run, Odette encounters challenges that will test her wit and strength. Will she surrender to the relentless pursuit, or fight back? ~~~ I round the corner to see a group of freakishly-tall and handsome men. There were three men in the group, one instantly stood out to me even with his back toward me. He had deep black hair and I could tell strong lean muscles were hidden beneath his button-up shirt. I falter in my steps a bit, something in my mind telling me to go another way, to ask someone else for help with directions. But I keep walking closer. Something else within me tells me it will be okay. As I get closer, the two men who were facing my direction look towards me and I stop, keeping a safe distance. Hopefully they are able to help me, and not turn me away just because I'm a human. "Hi, um, could you tell me where the front desk is?" The man whose back was facing towards me stiffened. "I think I'm a little..." The man turned toward me so quickly it made my heartbeat waver. His deep blue eyes pierced into my brown ones and called out to me. His jawline was chiseled to perfection, lips parted slightly in awe. Every feature of his face was meticulously handcrafted by God. I never thought I could find a wolf so elegant. He was...beautiful. Something in the air shifted. I could feel it in my bones. "...lost," I finished my sentence after a brief pause. No one answered me. Did I say something wrong? I look between the three of them and see that the two men behind the man who was staring so intently at me were looking between me and him. "Mate."

    Yeji always thought the world would end in fire, or maybe in a flood. But when it came, the end was quiet-broken only by the groans of the dead. They rose in many forms: the stiffs, the lurkers, and the relentless swarmers that consumed entire streets. Humanity didn't fall in a single night. Piece by piece, it unraveled. And survival became more than just outrunning the dead. It became about trust. About hope. About love. And above all...about the ones who remain.

    [COMPLETED] "Don't come any closer." "Your a feisty one aren't you?" He states with a slight smirk as he pushes forward, ignoring my statement and forcing my hand to retract and defend my body from a closer proximity. My ability to form a response is shattered as he moves forward even more, his body now an arm's length away. My breath hitches in my throat. "You see," He begins, cocking his head to the side as he takes another step closer, like a predator closing in on its prey. "There's a slight problem with that sweetheart." His tall frame leans over mine, the heat from his body decorating my skin with goosebumps as he moves his face mere centimetres away from mine. He places his hands on the wall behind me, caging me in and stays still for a split second before moving down to my ear and whispering. "Because you are never escaping me again." - Five years. It all began five years ago. The creatures our parents told us of in harmless stories, the ones that became a common catalyst for nightmares amongst young children, were real. The new world was plagued by monsters that took complete control over human life in a matter of months. Our failure to believe in the myths that our parents unknowingly warned us of became the fuel to our demise. Everything is different now. Now, humans live in poverty with the purpose of serving those deemed superior to us in a system designed purely to oppress. Now, life is about survival, everyday more dangerous than the last. Now, we belong to those who call themselves werewolves. Maeve Evans is luckier than most, with a roof over her head and a husband who would die to protect her. The harsh reality she has grown to accept shatters around her when she hears that one word. The word that seals her fate. Mate. ***** Disclaimer: mature content.

    When a single scratch means death, it is paramount you find someone to watch your back. Unfortunately, survivor Caroline Wolfe has never had this privilege. When the plague began to ravage the world as she knew it, she was left to fend for herself, forcing her into positions she never wished upon anyone. The plague broke out five years before, killing over 90% of the world's population. It turned those she thought she could trust into mindless, undead, monsters and creatures controlled by survival, not loyalty. Caroline was lucky to have made it out of Ottawa alive, thanks to the help of her childhood in the Yukon, learning how to fight and survive with more traditional weapons. When she finds herself trapped within the confines of an abandoned apartment complex in what was Caledon, she has to make a choice. Either face the undead alone or help the mysterious, accented, skull faced man she finds within and tether herself to him for the foreseeable future. What she isn't expecting is to find someone she can lean on and, even, learn to love. The idea of a cure and the promise of answers loom on the horizon, but the question is if she can find it in herself to trust another. .。❅*⋆⍋*∞*。*∞*⍋⋆*❅。.

    She survived the end. But it's only the beginning. Ever thought escaping Earth meant survival. Instead, it meant sacrifice. She lost her parents, her sister, and the two boys she loves-left behind to an uncertain fate. Now, on a distant planet she never asked to call home, Ever reunites with the brother she thought was dead. But this new world is not the refuge it promised to be. Her sister's haunting last words echo in her mind: "Your friends may be your foes, and your foes may be your only chance for survival."

To Environettix, the ruthless corporation pulling the strings, that makes her their most valuable-and most vulnerable-target. And she isn't the only one.

And Ever is beginning to realize a chilling truth: they don't belong here. And when something doesn't belong, it's only a matter of time before it's erased. *This is Book 2 in The Dissonance Series

    The world is a masterpiece built on a lie. Our eyes see the rhythm, but they miss the discord. Twelve-year-old Shiro has never known a day of peace. Born into a lineage of legendary heroes, he was supposed to be the next great flame. Instead, he is "Untuned"-born with a violent nerve disorder called Static that leaves his body in a state of constant, electric rebellion. While the world around him moves in a perfect, synchronized harmony, Shiro is a glitch in the system, anchored to a quiet farm in the Green Province, unbuilt for the world of warriors. His father raised him in the shadow of a legend: Saki, the mother Shiro hasn't seen since he was a child. A Captain of the Citadel and the elite blade of King Solace, she represents the pinnacle of a world that values perfect order above all else. But humanity is looking at a false reality. The peace of the realm is a facade, a "tuned" illusion masking a mysterious phenomenon that is slowly causing the world to drift out of sync. When Saki suddenly returns, it isn't for a homecoming-it's an escape. Having discovered the dark secrets buried beneath the Citadel's laws, she has defied the King to protect the one thing the world considers a "logic error": her son. Now, mother and son are on the run, pursued by unknown enemies and hidden agendas that stretch into the stars. Together with a band of unlikely allies they meet along the way, Shiro must navigate a landscape of hidden truths and ancient phenomena. In a journey that will take them from the highest spires to the deepest mires, Shiro will realize that being "Untuned" isn't his weakness. In a world living on lies, the boy who doesn't fit the rhythm might be the only one who can see the truth-and the only one who can save a world that is literally coming apart at the seams. The board is set. The pieces are moving. The Untuning has begun.
